Sweet Potato Culture.

/ have made q specially of the
sweet potato for twenty years, rails
ing annually fifteen acres. If q per-
SON can devise plan by which he
can increase his crop and save half
the labor, he accomplishes some
thing worth telling. Now this is the
case with my sweet potato culture.
i used to go to the field with ten
hands, and lay ont four fold the ex-
panse in hoeing up the hills in read
mess for the plants, that now find
necessary to expend in having the
entire crop set. I now set my crop
as fast as two-horse team can cross
the field and return, following my
team closely, while the soil is freshly
turned, planting all day long, right
in the sunshine, without any water
ing to "sodden" the ground, or, as
my Dutch boy had it, when l follow
ed the "sodden" plan, ''setting the
plants in clod." To show how
easy it is to plant an acre with sweet
potatoes, 1 copy the following from
the Marietta Register of May %,
1858:
"Ten lads, from II to 16 years of
age, at Rathbone's Clifton Garden,
set out 80 900 sweet potato plants in
Ia hours; and in six days, working
from 8 to 10 hours, set out $50, 900
plants; covering IA acrese-and the
best part of the item is, the plants
live"
Now, I am able to do this rapid
work by pudding the plants, and by
many years experience 1 have prov
ed that the plan is not injurious, as
i had whimsical notions that it
would be, many years ago.
Again, to expedite, / cut the
ridges, into hills at the second hoe
ing, or first if you choose. Again,
my farm is SO small that cannot af-
ford to plant ''four feet each way"
So / have my ridges but two feet two
inches, and find that these narrow
rows give better returns per row than
the four-foeters. Once per row,
with a single shovel plow, hoes the
row both sides to perfection, and l
find it poor economy to do by manu-
al labor anything horse can do.

Cultivation Of oabbages.

The field cultivation of the cabbage
has of late become quite common IN
many sections. ] have made many
experiments with the vegetable, ana
have found that / can produce
much better crop from pasture ianc,
broken up in the spring, provioeo !, !.
be of a light sandy texture, mahureo
with animal excrement IN green
condition. than on old soil, however
literally manured. Virgin soil, un-
deterioated by cultivation, and pos
sessine unimpaired all the qualities
With which it was originally endow-
ed by nature, supplies also a most
admirable medium for the produc-
ton of this crop. Itshould be borne
in mind that of all vegetables none
are more partial to a soil Of medium
and equable moisture, though at the
same time there is none which will
more successfully resist the effects
of drought.
When l grow cabbages on pasture
ground, I break it up early in the
spring, and having rolled and har-
rowed thoroughly-using with
view to the more perfect disintegra-
ton of the soil, harrews of different
degrees of fineness-I strike the land
off into burrows eighteen inches
apart, and apply the manure-one
shovelful to the hill, the hills being
eighteen inches apart. The manure
is first leveled, then covered with
about one inch of fresh, fine soil,
and on this the seed is deposited,
and covered about one inch in depth.
As soon as the plants appear above
the surface, they received dressing
of SCOT, one part; sulphur, one part;
gypsum, one part and wood ashes,
sifted, two parts; the ingredients be-
ing thoroughly mixed, and applied
by means of q box with perforated
top. With this the mixture is even
ly and expeditiously applied, few
hours being sufficient to dress large
piece. The morning is the most
suitable time for the application of
this dressing, as the dew serves to
retain it on the leaves, and prevents
its being blown off by the winds.
When the plants are fairly in rough
leaf the hills may be thinned, and va
cant ones filed up by transplanting,
from others, and dressing of slack
ed lime, one part, wood ashes, four
parts; pulverized charcoal, one part;
gypsum, enc part; and common salt,
one part applied and worked around
the roots. Frequent dressings With
the hoe are more indispensably nec-
essary to the successful develop
ment of this vegetable than to any
of the other broad -leaved varieties,
especially during the earlier periods
of Its growth.
When managed in this way, very
few imperfect heads will be produc7
ed, and the crop will generally be of
greater weight, and possess flavor|
greatly superior to cabbages grown
in the ordinary way on old Soils

Restoring Worn-out Lands,

j 3. Woodburn, Kingsville. Ohio,
writes to the New York Farmers
Club: M G
On a farm bought some wears
ago, there was an acre that had been
cultivated until. it was entirely ex.
hausted. 1t was hard clay soil
I plowed the ground eight inches
deep, rolled with heavy roller to
grind the clods, planted to corn and
manured in the hill. ! had thin
growth of stalks and about forty
bushels of ears to the acre. l pick.
ed the corn the first of September,
when fairly glazed, cut the stalks
close TO the ground and plowed them
under green. The next spring
plowed and planted 10 corn, as be
fore, manuring in the hill, picked the
corn in September, eighty bushels to
the acre, and a heavy growth oi
stalks, which were again plowed un.
der. The same plan was pursued
the third year, when the productive
powers o. the ground were found to
be fully resrored.
He then sowed to oats and seeded
with clover and timothy, getting
ENORMOUS crops.
