Below We give. two items from the
Club in Louisville, Ky, which will if
properly appropriated pay each of our
Tanners more than the cost of several
new spapers. The first is on the Culture
and uses Of Rye
Mr.. Brown said his experience agreed
with the. common estimation, that it was
of no value as pasturing but its value il
soiling was great. lie knew Of no green
manure that would bring UP the soil to
fertility so rapidly as rye. For this
purpose it. was the very. best thing
known to lin. Ir. q. single season it

from the promise Of Tic season, he wish
ed very much to crop in. hemp, though
he was well aware at the, same time it
was utterly unfit in the spring, and in
the fall rcaped 500 pounds of good hemp
where a good stalk could have been pro-
dnccd before. lie repeated, therefore,,
as a, rapid fertilizer, it was, in his esti-
nation, q complete success. In con-
ycrsation with General Whitaker lie
had also been informed that he (the
General bad cultivated corn for ten
years successfully in one field, sowing
rye and turning it under in the spring,
and at the end of this time the ground
was rich enough to produce hemp
This, if SO, would commend its enrich
ing properties as cXhaustlcss. as
The second is on the culture of the
Irish Potato: vroa}e~
Mr.. Finney said he had been very
successful as a potato-g grower, in Vir-
ginia. IIisn1odc Of cultivation vas new

buthc had yet to- learn that the soil
could be stirred too deeply. His man
ncr was to pillow, or turn over, and then
stir with double coulter subsoilcr with,
out throwing the subsoil TO the surface.
He then broke tie surface we'll with the
harrow, and run his rows, three at a
time, three feet apart, that the manure
cart might run in the burrows. He
used stable manure, and when tho cart
had passed, would drop his seed pota-
toes, about the size Of a hen egg, uncut,
to each hill, then proceed to plant anoth-
or three rows. If you let the ground
the potatoes spring, it will be
found full of weeds. lie, therefore, US
cd his harrow to stir the surface, when
the potato vines would spring UP, bright
and healthy, the sole occupant Of the
field. He then stirred the ground twice,
deep as he could, between the rows,
with his double coulter subsoiIer, and
afterwards run through the rows twice

three hundred bushels per acre. He had
himself raised four hundred bushels.
