Potash for Potatoes.

In a recent address, DIR. Nichols, of the
Journal Of Chemistry, alluded to the de-
terioration in our potato crop during the
past 20 years, and made the following ex-
PLANTATION regarding the causes of this
falling off:
have field of potatoes upon my farm
which I expect will yield 800 bushes per
acre, which may be regarded as an old
fashioned crop. know that this crop will
remove from the soil in tubers and tops at
least 400 pounds of potash. 1 am also GER
tain it will remove 150 lbs of phOsphoric
acid. Now these amounts are very large,
and serve to show that the potato plant is
great consumer of the two substances
and also, it shows that in order to restore
our potato fields to their former produc-
tive condition, we must supply phosphate
compounds and substances holding potash
in large quantities. For six or eight gen.
erations in New England our farmers
have been exhausting the soil, by remov-
ing these agents in their potato and other
crops and we have reached time when
the vegetables are starving i'll our fields
for want of their proper food Our farmers
have found that new land gives the best
crops aud this is due to the fact that such
fields afford the most potash. But so long
as we crop our pastures so unreasonably,
we cannot resort to new land, as land is
not new that has had its potash and phos-
phatic elements removed by grazing ami
mails. Remember that potato field with
but 100 bushels to the acre requires at least
100 pounds of potash, but by allowing the
tops to decay upon the field, 600 pounds of
this is restored to the soil again, as that
amount is contained i'll them. A medium
crop of potatoes requires twice as much as
a medium crop of wheat, so that in two
years with wheat, the land is deprived of
no more of the agent than it loses in one
year with potatoes.

Poultry Keeping for Women.

There are many women who, especially
within the last half dozen years while the
price of eggs has been so high, make
money much faster by tending poultry
than by sewing. 1t is an occupation espe-
cially suited to women, because it involves
patience and constant attention to details,
rather than strength. Then again the
hardest thing for men to learn, III hand
ling either poultry or bees, is gentleness.
How many times we have seen boys jerk
hens roughly from the nests, enter the
poultry-hOuse abruptly and brighten the
occupants till they rush i'll q fiuttering
mass into the farthest corner, and keep
the poultry community in constant agita-
ton and distress. But all domestic ami
mails appreciate the manners of women at
PENDANTS when they are fortunate enough
to be cared for by them. Now there are
women gardeners and florists who by COM
mendable industry and business qualities,
have risen to eminence in those callings,
and while one of the most successful, if
not the most successful, bee-keepers in the
whole country is a woman, we hope to see
others give poultry more attention than it
has hitherto received. Aside from profit,
the keeping of the fine poultry for fancy is
an elegant pastime very popular with
English ladies, and we see no reason why
the fashion should not be adopted here

and to the best OF my ability, 60 support tho

deem it also due to you, as we'll as myself.
to state that am true Democrat; and here

Allow Inc to say further, that I served as A
Confederate soldier during the war, and was
one OF that class whose hands were tied, aud
