Suggestions about Potatoes.

see by the market reports that potatoes
suitable Tor food are in demand as
another season Of rot has injured the
quality Of potatoes tor market. A remedy
II but in part, IS TO be desired. Nv opn-
ion is that if any persons raising potatoes
for the market would observe a proper
rotation, an improvement in quality would
be the result. Meadow land that is dry and
suitable for corn needs ploughing and re-
seeding occasionally. Ii such u meadow
j. literally covered with fresh. rank and
course manure, spread 10 the fall, winter
or spring. and allowed TO remain until near
planting time and then turned under, we
shall have the condition desired for crop
of corn.
If said corn-ground is ploughed in the
fail. and narrowed in the spring following
and then ridged, we have the very best
condition possible for a good crop of pota-
toes, ready for early planting, easy cul-
turc and clean tillage. Florists think that
turf and manure. well rotted together. is
the best material for potting tender or
delicate plants. What more delicate plant
have we to cultivate than the potato, TO be
satisfactory: For two seasons, l have
planted early potatoes and dug in August,
stored them in dark cellar, ploughed the
ground and sowed with winter wheat the
Irst of September, and reseeded to grass
with favorable results. In 1861 the Rev
{. +. Goodrich was distributing seedlings.
He recommended sward land tor potatoes.
sandy sward may do for seed, but for
the table l could not agree with him.
would as soon think of planting corn on a
cranberry swamp, as potatoes for food on
a rich sward. with rank manure. Some
approve oil burning coarse vegetable refuse
and spreading the ashes on the land.
They are good, no doubt, but l prefer to
plough under all coarse manure, let it rot
in the soil, and improve the condition for
good crop fpotatoes.-l Utica Herald

The Decay of Wood.

Wood, being vegetable matter, is Of
course liable 10 decay but how to turn il
To the best account with this attribute to
contend with may be worth inquiry. The
closer the grain and the heavier the wood,
the less liability there is TO decay; but for
DulIolng purposes, as at present carried
on. hght and open grained woods must be
used. We cannot, In these times OF excess
I've competition, go back TO the old oak tim
bered and fioered houses of our ancestors.
1t would, however. pay landlords to build
soma, substantial houses. and let them even
at the present scale Oriental. For instance.
IN digging away the foundations of the
Savoy Palace, built upward OF six centu-
hes ago, the oak piles were found perfect
~ sound, as was the planking which cover
the pile heads. But houses are built on a
very different principle now: namely, to
sell again, and perhaps again. before the
permanent owner invests in them, and then
Il coat Of paint and judicious use of putty
cover all imperfections.
The decay OF wood arises from internal
and not external moisture; hence, SO LONG
rs free evaporation is allowed, decay will
not very readily set in. 1t would be very
absurd 10 say that no paint ought to be
used IN the interior of house. but 1t is Ger.
tam that piece of wood painted on both
sides viii not last nearly so long as one
not painted at all. The reason is evident.
The paint effectually closes all the pores
and prevents the evaporation of the moist.
ure, which even the best seasoned plank
VIII contain. and hence decay sooner set
IN, IN one shape or other. For the same
reason wood painted on one side only will
last longer THAI that painted on two SIDES.
Thus, in an old building, the wainscot,
doors, windows, ETC., will be found to be
affected when the staircase will be sound.
because never painted. The old house in
the quaint city Of Chester prove the truth

the writer that the numerous exposed
beams were generally sound, and they are
all implanted, but the inside work had an

Setting out Trees BY the Roadside.

The growth of timber to take the place
of our rapidly disappearing forests has led
farmers in some sections to set out trees.
While il may not be desirable for all to
adopt this plan, every one can set trees by
the roadside along his own land. There
are many advantages to be obtained from
them which can be seen at once 10 more
than pay for the trouble. They beautty
the premises and give better appearance
10 the landscape. And if the trees are
maple, which is one OF the best and mos
easily raised. when grown they will fur
nish large yield of maple sugar. If but
ternut or walnut, the nuts are in a meas
ure compensation for the labor of setting
them out. There is TO be in the future
such demand for wood that II Will not
answer to cut down and not replace In
some way. In Baden aud in other Ger
man States. rs well as in some of the coun-
tries OF France. the law obliges a person
TO plant a tree in place of every one down.
In this way miles of rows of shade trees
line the roads, making pleasant shaded
walks through all the towns and villages.
1t is fact not generally known that trees
Increase their wood making capacity in
about the ratio as the square of the number
OF years indicate their age. The third
year they make nine times, the fifth year
twenty-five times, and the tenth year one
hundred times the amount of wood they
make the first year. The tree grows more
rapidly as ii gets older, and we cannot
afford to cut them down until they get their
growth.
Some towns in this section have already (
formed associations for identifying their
towns by planning parks aud setting out
trees by the roadside. lfthis is not done,
individuals can with little trouble and ex-
pense procure trees and set out in front OF
their own lands, and stimulate their neigh
bors 10 do the same, so as to make uni
form and continuous line of shade trees
along the roadside Springfield Home
