Grant to be Dropped.

The New York correspondent of the Buffalo
On. " Courier, says:
"Promineut Radicals say Grant will receive
the nomination at Chicago The only men
one hears talking in his favor, are the mild
republicans who have no working influence.
All the strong, active Radicals are either
Indifferent or opposed to him. They defend
him warmly enough when he is assaied for
the part he played in the Stanton business,
but when it comes to the question of his
nomination for the Presidency, they either
dodge the points or say plainly they don't
want him. Then the Stewart Vanderbilt
movement, from which Grants friends ex-
pected so much, has come to a halt, and the
engineers appear to have lost all interest in
it. 1t is the general opinion of intelligent
Conservatives that Grant will not get the
nomination. A complimentary vote, they
say, will be dropped for more pronounced
republican. The Chase party is still hopeful, ,
and will work hard at Chicago. Greedy and
his followers are privately as much opposed to
Grant now as they were two months ago
Greeleys name was placed on the list Of vice
presidents at the last Grant meeting, and the
Tribune said next day that its use was uu-
authorized. Whatever the feeling elsewhere
may be, it is certain that here in New York
except among the nonderscripts-there is
no real enthusiasm for Grant, and unless
shrewd observers are much mistaken, he will
be put aside at Chicago, and a man with brains
and straight out convictions will go on the
track for the white house prize.

FIELD AND PRESIDE.
Effects of Soil Upon Potatoes.

Soil has an Influence upon potatoes aside
fien their growth. Some sofia light sandy
loam-will produce mellowness where it l.
wanted, and improve it where it exists. Ma
nure is hurtful to the quality, and especially
to the favor of potatoes. Hence u soil sufh'
ciently rich should never have manure for
potatoes-and very rich soil is not required
for this tuber. a rank growth of potatoes
will give q rank taste. The same potatoes
raised on light natural soil where the only
manure has been vegetable-for instance the
carbonaceous matter of new land-will be
improved. This accounts for the diversity Of
opinion in regard to the different kinds of
potatoes.
The Garnet Chill is condemned by some.
We have just heard Il man pronounce against
them-who gave the preference to other
kinds, among which the Peach Blow is one.
He had "no luck with Garnets last year,
He raised his potatoes in soil manured from
the horse stable. His neighbor has Just the
reverse opinion. He raised his where little
or no manure has been used-some on a dis
continued strawberry bed, where sawdust has
been applied for mulching, and afterwards
worked into the soil, and rotted when the po-
tatoes were grown. This was vegetable ma
nure, and made the difference between the
two crops.
There is another element of great value in
the potato crop-this is lime. 1t is probably
better than anything that can be used. This,
in connection with vegetable manure, on \
light sandy loan, we'll drained, will ensure
the best crop. 1t will yield largely, as well
as the best quality. On such soil there is
less rot. A moist soil is always to be avoid
ed if quality is to be considered. For feed
ing purposes, rank growth is probably pre-
ferable, as more potatoes are generally pro-
duced.
The soil should not only be light and loose,
but the seed should be well down in the
ground-not raised in ridges. Five or six
inches below the level of the soil will give
more moisture-in other words, will stand 4
drought better, than when elevated above
this level, giving chance for the air more
effectually to dry the soil in which the pota-
toes are imbedded.
Never hill potato-cr, if hilling will be
done, do it after shower, soon as the ground
will permit Cultivate and keep the soil
mellow, especially in drought This is
thing that is much neglected. We do not
cultivate potatoes sufficiently. They require
much moisture; and, unless the ground is
we'll stirred, repeatedly, there will be great
hurt-small potatoes and few in hill.
Clay will also improve the quality of pota-
toes, as well as other roots and grains in gen.
eral But it will not much increase the
growth.-Rurat World.
