Soil for the POTATO.

Almost any we'll drained soil will do. A
clay loan is probably the best. 1t is the
best as it is cool and moist, two character
istics which the potato requires, and which
are not so readily obtainable with sand or
gravel But the land wants to be mellow,
and deeply mellow this to secure the one
quality, moisture, which, in our droughty
summers, is generally found lacking it
must not lack with the potato. Hence
deep culture, and when the soil is in con-
dition to make it most mellow, the state
between the dry and wet, always avoiding
the wet, the dry not important in the fall
so that the land can be well plOwed. And
the fall is the time, and good at that. The
soil must be re-plowed with the first
chance in the spring it cannot be done
too early, providing it is dry enough and
the soil is well rotted, which it will be il
the blowing has been done early enough
in the fall. This is important, this early
work, so as to give chance for early plant
ing, for it should be understood, if it is
not, that the potato cannot be planted too
early. With the first mellow soil this
should be done. Plow not only, but Guilt
vate and harrow, so as to get the soil a
powdery mellow, which the rotten turf
will favor.

Remedy For and Preventive Of Chicken
Cholera.

REMEDY.-We are informed by relia-
BILE gentleman and his lady, who are great
chicken raisers and very successful at the
business, judging from the great numbers
of chickens I saw on their premises, that
ground and pulverised black pepper and
table salt are an effectual remedy for the
disease called the chicken cholera. The
two articles are to be mixed together in
about equal quantities and given to the
diseased chickens in teaspoonful doses.
mixed with little water, putting it into
their mouths and forcing them to swallow
it; the dose to be repeated as the occasion
may require, until they are relieved. By
noticing them we'll it is easy to see when
they have it.
PREvENTIvE.-The same persons told
me that good preventive was to keep as
safetida in their water troughs, crumbled
up so as to tincture the water well, and
prevent them from eating it, as they will
eat all they can get. 1t is very probable
that the cloves or bulbs of garlic, well
bruised and put in their water, would have
the same effect, from its resemblance in
smell, flavor and effects to assafoetida. The
same remedy is no doubt as good for tur-
keys and for other fowls as for chickens

REGULARITY IN FEEDING SToCK.-The
Mirror and Farmer mentions the case oil
a neighbor who last winter stall fed yoke
of oxen, and which, after consuming
900 pounds of corn meal and all the good
hay they wanted, were found to have gain.
ed lust twenty pounds. Allusion is also
made to other farmers whose success was
more satisfactory, and ono of the chief rea-
sons of this is the fact that they fed regu-
larly. This is a matter of more impor-
lance than may at first appear. 1t has
been said that the appetite of cow OF
sheep is a perfect chrOnometer. They
know when feeding-time comes, and be-
comes restless and uneasy if the feeding
does not proceed as usual. This restless
ness is unfavorable to thrift. Absolute
quiet and contentment are essential to the
most rapid growth.

upen the total sum invested in sheep, in
that State. 1t is said that in two years,
from 1868 to 1870, Illinois sank from the
sixth to the ninth rank among the States
In the number and value of its sheep, and
this great falling off is attributed to pro-
portionate increase in the number of dogs,
and the lack of proper legislation to pre-
vent their ravages among the sheep. The
Legislature of Maryland is considering
this subject. The returns from five coun-
ties Of that State, show over l 100 sheep
killed in one year by dogs.
