propose in this paper to state some of
my experience and ideas in regard to grow
| ing potatoes.
And here l will say that | have tried
| planting very large potatoes, those of mid
| ding size, those that are still smaller, and
those of the isoI size i'll the bin, not bigger
than small birds egg. | have cut potatoes
| before planting them and planted them
without cutting; put them cut side down
and cut side up in the hill before covering
| them with the hoes. have planted them
also in the 0}d and aev Of tie n10on, and
have come to the conclusion, Mr.. Editor,
| after an experience of more than forty
years in potato-culture on my farm, and
| none of the above conditions of the seed or
the moon has very little if any influence or
| anything special to do in the production of
good satisfactory crop of potatoes one
way or the other But the soil in which
potatoes are planted-the manure that is
used to promote their growth-and the
season whether wet or dry, hot or cold,
also the care in their cultivation that we
bastow upon them during the stages of
their growth, all these form very important
agents to help i'll their production
| have not time or space i'll this paper to
| tell You of the different ways | have tried
to grow this crop, how have spread the
manure and powcd it under or worked it
into the soil on the surface after blowing,

small potatoes are nearly as valuable for

MANURING.-Mucho of the value of barn
yard manure is lost by long keeping. Many
farmers suppose manure to be improved by
remaining in the heap year, to be hauled
out at leisure. No greater mistake than
This could be made. If manure is hauled
out during the winter, as it accumulates,
not allowing it to lie in the heap long
enough to heat and burn, it will be much
more valuable than when subjected to this
damaging process. BY an early distribu-
ton upon the land much of the liquid por-
ton is preserved, all of which, with the
ammonia, (and' the latter is perhaps the
most valuable component in any manure
may be considered lost.
When we consider that the crops annually
taken from our lands, must, in the very
nature of things take valuable constituents
from all titled lands, the question of replac-
ing this constant drain should receive more
attention than is generally accorded to it.

How / Wash my Dishes.

OF course | make sure before break fast
or dinner that there is plenty of water in
the boiler, and also in the tea kettle. After
the table is cleared, the table cloth brushed
oil and neatly folded away, and the dining
room disposed Of, proceed with my dishes.
First, take my large dish-pan, put into it
4 piece of soap, and pour over the soap
three or four dippcrfuls Of hot water from
the boiler. Then | add two or three dip
pcrfuls of cold ran-water. Then my dish
cloth. The water should now be so cool
as not to turn the hands red when put into
it. Take the dish-cloth and rub from the
soap the melted surface, and put the re-
mainder away. Wash a dish at a time and
pass it to another pan; a milk pan is gen
orally used. When all are done, or the
pan is full, take the tea-kettle and pour
over enough hot water to thoroughly rinse
and heat them. Now take them from Il Q
water, one at a time, and place them bot
tom-side up upon tray or pan to drain
If they have been properly washed, this
hot rinsing water will run Off or evaporate
in a minute, leaving the dishes nearly dry
However, they shonld now be wiped with
clean, dry towel, and put away. Dishes
must be washed i'll soft water. Especially
soap is really Indispensable in washing
scrapcd free from grease, crumbs, bones,
etc, before commencing to wash them. A
neat housekeeper will have the same dish
cloth in use until it is worn out when it
should be put into the rag bag. Never
else but washing dishes.

To Boil HAM.-The ham should be
nicely washed in warm water and put into
cold water. Allow Il quarter of an hour to
each pound of ham. When sufficiently
boiled, remove it from the water and place
it in Il balsing-pan; remove the rind and
roast or bake one hour in a quick oven,
dredging it frequently with mixture of
finely powdered and sifted bread-crumbs
and flour, in the proportion of one part of
flour to three of bread -crumbs. If not
scorched, it will look finely upon the table.
The flour prevents the crust of crumbs
from scattering over the ham when cut.
