INC Potato Fever.

There appears to be a perfect fever
en- the subject Of Seeding potatoes,
especially among our friends in Yer
mont. According TO the reports of
sales and values It exceeds anything
tOfthe kind before known, and leaves
the ROhan speculation hOpelessly in
theshade. Atthesame rate o prOgress
It viii not be long ere the tulip mania
.OfthestOlid Duchmen will cease to head
the listnOf tuberOus speculatiOns. OF
the latest acquisition in the potat9IDe
among the Green Mountain farmers,
saueKDhange says: Sixteen specimens
sold for $S25; twelve for S6l5; one fora
oows rOnef for asilVer mountedh harness (;
ana the ordinary quotation is $50
apiece. AS q proof of its productive
ness; itis stated that a man who paid
last wear $40 for one eye, raised from it
the past season, potatoes for which he
has realized $3.50 cash, and has three
potatoes left.
While in New York, a few weeks
since, we were assured by a gentleman,
Bomewhat interested in agricultural
Hpeculations, that he had offered for
-osas single petdtoe of q new variety
originating In Vermont, four hundred
dollars (40O!) he intended to make
himself whole by prOpagating from
7siips and selling the plants in the
spring. The valuationof the owner OF
the potato may be inferred when we
add that the Ofierof our acquaintance
was refused-ED.

Save the Native Usage Orange.


During the time of the g~reatscarcity
of the Texas Usage Orange seed, on
account Of the war, the PrdiTie Far
meT suggested the feasibility of max
ing the most Of the seed that grew
upon Usage of our own part of the
country. A great many people who
lived in the neighbOrhOOd of neglected
hedges, whose plants had grown up
into bearing trees, prOfited by the sug-
gestion and secured considerable seed
thatproved very valuable. This prac-
tice has been kept up in many lOcali-
tiles, but still much seed goes to waste
that might much better be made use
of in these days Of hedge planting.
1t is IN easy matter to gather the or
anges, and not a great deal Of trouble
to get out and preserve the seed. If
the oranges are subjected to freezing
and thawing duTingwinter, they be-
come s0ft, and the seeds are easily
separated by washing in water. Then,
if not wanted for immediate planting,
it should be properly dried without
heatingor moulding, and is of as much
value as that brough from the South,
and some contend, some better.
In 1864 Mr.. G. r. Overman wrote
the Prairie Farmer:
at may relieve the anxiety of the
prairie farmers to know that there is
a fair prospect of having q sufficiency
Of seed for the eountIy, grown on
prairie soil in a few years, at farthest.
Had we known, on its first introduce
ton, that the seed would certainly
mature, and especially could we have
apprehended the present emergency,
we should now have have an abund-
ant supply of home grown seed, and
the rebellion could not in amy wise
have interfered with the great enter
prise of live feneiRg on the ~prairies."

Prepare seeds fOrPIan9Ing.

Durinuthe eOmpaFative1e leisure time
Of winter the farmer should do every
thing he can to shorten his work 81
the spring; for then work will press
tupOn him, and he will be tempted to
do some things slightly.
Procuring seeds is sometimes atten-
ded with difficulty, and requires time
| that would hardly be missed now, but
would be a very serious loss IN plant
ing time. To illustrate Your oats
Hast year were mixed with foul seed,
and at the county fair you saw sam
piles of very fine oats exhibited by a
man who lives ten miles from you,
and who has seed to sell. YOu7deci-
ded TO buy your seed oats of him.
With very little trouble yeu can now
get them, and have them ready against
the time of sowing but if you wait
till THAT time yOurteam must be taken
from the field for a day, the roads may
be almost impossible, and there is a
chance that the oats viii oil be sold
before you get there, and after all you
will be compelled to 60 home and SOW
your own Oats5and weed seed. 70
avoid any such dilemma let all the
seed needed for the coming season be
secured at once. Care should be ex-
ercised in this matter, especially in
selecting grass seed; look sharp for
sOrrel among clover seed /; get the pur-
est, if yOElAave to pay a high price for
it.
It is a good plan for farmers who
live some miles apart, and on different
kinds Of soil, to exchange seed es-
pecially is this true of potatoes; in
some cases it makes a differeneein the
crop almost as marked as in crossing
the breeds of animals.
If you live far from a store you
should supply every deficiency in your
stock of garden seeds the first oppor-
tunity, and test the seed by sowing in
a box prepared for the purpose, and
Kept in the hOuse.-&. Louis Journal

The best gait a horse ever had fer
every day use, is a good walk. 1t is a
gait not one in ten possesses. Colts
are not trained to walk IN all the East
ern States. Young America wants
more speed. Kentucky has moregOOd
walking horses than any other State,
for there horseback travelling has long
been in fashion for men and woman
OVera country, where muddy roads at
times render any other gaitimpOssible,
and so horses have been bred TO the
saddle and trained to a walking gait.
Thisis also the case in all the Western
States, and perhaps might have been
sAin New England, when our grand
naothers rode to meeting on a pilliOn
behind cur grandfathers. But one
horse wagons have put horseback
riding out Of fashion. and now a good
walking horse is more rare than one
that can trot a mile in 2.40.
