"Dear Dtspath, Last Monday stranro .og
came into my yard, bit one, II not two, ol my
dogs, and one Of G.. d. Pleasants's that ap-
peared to be with them, and ran Off towards
Richmond: My son followed and soon killed
him. have learned since that the dog was
seen by Mr.. Yarbrough in the morning coming
out Of town, and believed him to be mad
Strange to say, he let him escape without
giving the alarm. He afterwards bit youth
by the name of Britain, and attempted to bite
two negro women who met him. AS there can
be no doubt of the dog being mad I write this
that the people Of Rockets and vicinity may
know that he came from their midst, and
may doubtless bite many dogs there. ts1a

otherwise would be- When fit to kill, feed

What after Potatoes.

corras,ondeut writing from Missouri,
10 the editor of the Germantown Telegraph
says:
Some of thy readers are now gathering
their potato crop, and preparing the ground
I, be seeded down with wheat this prepar-
ing is often hastily done and much ne; ieet-
ed. May word to such be in time. Many
farmers think that because the ground was
heavily nanured for the potatoes, that it
cannot fail TO bring a crop of what. But
many are sadly disappointed The seed is
so badly put in that portion of it fails to
grow; and the weeds spring up and choke
out what does grow; and this being conse-
quently weak and thin, is the prey Of the
fly, weevil, &c, SO that the harvest brings
very poor reward.
But as far as my observation and expert
ence reach, as good wheat. can be raised af-
ter potatoes as anything else, simply by first
putting the ground in good order, (of course
a little manure is needful for wheat, SOW it
where you may.)
If farmers would spend more time in pre-
pairing their potato patches for wheat, they
would be abundantly repaid for it at harvest.
l have frequently seen wheat sown after the
ground had only been plowed to get the po-
tatoes which are left after the digging is
done, when if the ground had a second
plowing, very great difference in the wheat
would have been realized.
| would say to those who cannot obtain
good wheat after potatoes, to try giving the
ground a second plowing; they will find
that the ground will be in much better order
and the yield nearer their expectations
