A Mr.. Plummer, of North Liberty,
Ohio, had the rheumatism. Plum
mer, as are all who are afflicted with
that unpleasant ailment. was very de-
sirous of getting rid of it: Some one
advised him 10 carry an Irish potato
i'm his pocket. .;Plummer opposed the
idea for a long time. but was at length
prevailed upon to do so. lie carried
it Eighteen 1ponths, and what was his
astonisEment to find that his potato
had become stone. The discovery
worked upon Plummer to that extent
that he carried the stone to the editor
of the West Clinton Defender and
exhibited it to that learned gentlemen,
who proclaimed the wonderful fact to
the world through the columns Of his
excellent paper. The potato, the De-
fender says, is now a. veritable stone,
"about two inches in length, one inch
in thickness, and the shape of q beam"
The potato completely cured the once
doubtful Plummel; and he now re-
joiceth." al "a T4yrpT# r.

Seeding to Grass.

The condition of grass fields that we
recently cut clover from, prompts us to
make a few suggestions upon the subject
of seeding. OF clover, the first item is
the selection of the seed adapted to
our purpose. If Our object be solely the
Improvement of the land by The growth
of a crop or two of grass. and the turn
ing under of the stubble, we would by
ali means use clover, and that alone. Ii
the finer grasses are sOwn with 1t their
tendency is to choke out the clover,
which it will generally accomplish after
the first season. If. however, perma-
nent meadow is desired (and here let me
remark that no crop will pay better up
on farms adjacent to market) it is advis-
able TO sow mixture of seed. The pro-
portions may vary 10 suit circumstances,
but we would usually recommend one
gallon of clover seed, six quarts of TIM
othy and bushel of redtop or herds
grass. The first year the clover will be
In the ascendeney, the second the timO-
thy will be by far the larger proportion,
after which the red top will form close
turf, crowding out or choking OH the
Others.--If. land is liable to wash, the
red top is the better grass, as the turf is
so firm as to entirely protect against
washes.
But Whichever of the grasses We select.
the mechanical preparations Of the
ground should have proper attention.
Cuder the present bedding" system of
cultivation it will require considerable
care to level down the ridges. This may
best be done by broadcast blowing OBJ
Iiouely across the beds and afterwards
in an opposite directions, or
the beds may be thrown down with
shovel or turning plow previous to the
broadcast blowing. Under all cireum,
stances, the ground should be LEFT level
and it should be narrowed until Tree
from Jumps or clOds. This will enable
the mower to do better work and make
a large increase in the yield Obtained

Too Much Tribute.

The cotton crop of the South is now
in process of being marketed, and is
estimated at 5000, 900 bales. Nearly
all this immense crop will go to the
Eastern States and to England to be
manufactured; and in course of time,
large amount of it will be returned to
the Southern people in the form of
manufactured goods, for which they
will be obliged to pay a round price
besides transportation both ways. This
makes lively business for railroads
and ships, and for the innumerable
middle-men who handle the article.
Now supposing the Southern people
could manufacture these three million
bales into staple goods! They would
retain in the South the profits that are
now left in England and in the hSnds
of the middlemen. Her manufactures
would give employment to thousands
of people who hre, during the long WIN
ter months, compelled to lie idle. The
supplying of people with food will
necessitate more attention to general
agriculture, and the South would be
Independent of foreigners aud distant
American producers for her food and
supplies. The South needs more diver
sified husbaudry, and less ofderendence
OH the staple-cotton. She pays too
