To GrOW Potatoes EdrGy.

J. c. Thompson writes to the Ameri-

ing directions for using early potatoes =
Prepare a set of shallow boxes. . to 3
inches deep; select for seed all that
have good strong eyes at the blossom or
seed end, and cut off each eye with bit
of the potato attached. The blossom
eyes are No. l, the middle eyes are No.
,, the base eyes are No. 3, which are TO
be kept separate. No. l viii start and
ripen first. Cover the bottom of the
box with compost or sand, set the eyes
so that they will tOucn each other, then
fill with sand or compost. If common
soil is used, the sets viii be apt TO stick
together and make hard mass, while
with sand they will easily separate
Keep in a warm place and wet with
warm water. From two to three weeks
Will bring them into condition for
planting, which, in this vicinity, should
be about April /. A few days before
planting water should be withheld for
the purpose Of easily separating the
roots. Careful and repeated shaking is
required to separate them. If any are
too forward at planting and there is dam
ger of frost, they may be lain down and
covered with earth. They are TO set a
foot apart. For early kinds the Good
rich is best; for late the Harrison.

Hoes IN ORCHARDS.-We have in
mind New England orchard that was
used for a hog pasture for more than
twenty years, and for aught we know,
had been used in like manner many
years previous. The trees were giants
IN their line, and a crop of fruit annually
a sure thing. From that orchard
worm-eaten apple was rarity. The
hog is the best cultivator and the best
insect remedy that can be put into an
apple orchard. We know it from more
tnan twenty years observation. After
me stems of the trees have attained a
SIZE OF three or four inches in diameter,
hogs will do the trees no injury. The
domestic fowl-hens, chickens, &c, will
also 90 good service in the orchard,
whether apple, cherry or plum, for they
are always on the alert for insects, with
OUT lnduigingin the theiN ing propensi-
ties OF the robin and other birds.
