Yes, plant great many, they will
come Just in time when the sweet pota-
toes by most families are used up. I'M
press it also on the minds of the freed
men to follow your example, and that
it is better for him to have Irish pota-
toes during the summer to partly SUBJ
sist on, than to go to the store and buy
provisions at ruinous prices. Irish
potatoes are healthy food and save both
meat and corn. have seen thousands
Of families subsisting on the potato dur
ing the whole year, and be strong to do
all kind of hard work and the people
were very healthy.
In selecting the seed 1 prefer the
"Early Rose" They are the surest,
Weld more than other kinds and are
more palatable. t-r r.....
In preparing the ground for potatoes
break it up deep and subsoil it. If 1
have plenty short we'll rotted manure,
spread it broadcast before breaking up
and plOw it under. If my manure is
not we'll rotted and consists partly of
straw, leaves, pinestraw, ETC., / put it
on the potatoes in the row.
After breaking and subsoiling, har-
row the ground well, and lay off the
rows three and half to four feet apars
by running furrow about six inche-
deep, and plant the potatoes about eight
teen inches apart in the rows.
The culture is very simple, but must
he done in time. AS soon as the plants
are all up, the ground ought to be stir
red, either with a cultivator, or in a
small patch with the hoe. When the
plants have reached seven to eight in
ches, they ought to be hoed again and
titled well. This is the last work and
ought to be done with care. The ridges
ought to be made large enough, so that
no growing tuburs are ever exposed to
the light. Home Journal. g.

Senator Schurz upon San Domingo and
the Negro.
The views of Senator Schurz upon
the annexation of San Domingo, are
thus condensed. The Senator is good
Republican, and loves the negro, but
rather indiferently:
/. That the African race could not be
made productive in the tropics with
level out the coercion of slavery.
2. That the Africans of the tropics
were not fit to exercise the duties of
American citizens, nor to be admitted
to an equality with the Caucasian race.
3.That the white race degenerates in
the tropics and rapidly decends to the
of the blacks. ~ .t.l. .,.tE> !
4. That the West Indies are adapted
for general colonization ofall the Afri-
cans of the continent, and that our policy
should be to look to on aggregation and
concentration of this race therein, under
the protection of the United States.
