LeafMold in Potato Culture.

Referring to the value of decayed
leaves in the cultivation of the potato,
a correspondent writes as follows to
the Irish Farmers Gazette:
II think 1t is the duty Of every land
owner to communicate any fact which
has come to his knowledge, which is
likely to be of service to the agricul-
tural community. will therefore give
the result of my potato digging. [ have
an.acre and half of scotch downs
which | nave just lifted. They are in
very good condition, and will weigh, l
am told, upward of ten tons There
are very few bad ones among them, and
understand it is one of the best crops
in the neighborhood. The curious
part of the case is, that last year, in
order to swell my manure heap, cart
ed an immense quantity of leaves, and
mixed them with the farmyard manure.
This [ have used both with the pota-
toes and root crops with the best effect,
and the leaves appear to have had a
powerful effect in preserving the pota-
toes. All the parties concerned in the
digging of them have been struck with
this fact.' ~ 81 O.

Hog Manure.

A contributor to the Germantown
Telegraph thus discourses about this
manure; There is no manure made
on the farm equal to the eXcrements
of swine. 10 what purpose soever it
may be applied it will sustain its rep
utation as one of the best fertilizers.
4 single hog during the eighteen
months of its existence will make
more than twenty dollars worth of
manure, if it he furnished with the
materials, and all the urine and eX-
crements saved but to effect this
purpose the floor of the pen should he
made so that not a particle of the
drOppings can 90 TO waste. For ma
nuring corn in the hill the manure
made by the fattening hogs stands
pre-eminent above all other kinds
and the absorhents best to make ma
nure for this purpose stands in point
of excellence in the following order !:
First, sawdust; next, dried swamp
muck; then leaves, straw and other
rough materials, which must undergo
fermentation before they can be made
conveniently available to apply 10
corn-hills.
Farmers, try the hog on his own
merits, give him plenty of sun, but no
rain. Keep him decent by giving
him a plentiful supply of the raw
material to work upon; then apply
and his ghost will be seen in the lux
uriant crop, while his carcass is snug
~ slowed in the meat-barrel.

From the Country Gentleman
Starvation Of Bees in Winter.

The close of the honey season of
1871 left me in possession of twenty
nine colonies of bees, and quite q
handsome store of surplus honey in
boxes. AS little buckwheat is raised
in the neighborhood, no box honey
was secured after the white clover
honey harvest. Instead of adding to
the surplus after white clover failed,
a portion of the honey stored in the
boxes was removed before they were
removed from the hive. My son had
some half dozen hives in the yard
with mine, or with part of mine. j
placed seven of mine in yard mile
southwest from the home apiary, and
eight about the same distance TO the
northwest, thus enlarging the honey
field.
Iconcluded to winter them without
the trouble of moving them, and feel
ing pretty safe about them, left them
without particular care until mid
winter. On examining twelve that
/ thought well secured for winter,
found but one alive. Several of the
others were also dead, but | finally
succeeded i'm saving five of the TWEEN
ty-nine. Now / have no disease, no
foul brood, no dysentery, no moths
to charge the failure to. 1t was simp-
~ starving to death. There were too
many bees in the field. But two
colonies at the most, and / think but
one, had honey enough To carry them
through the winter. The combs were
so perfectly cleared of honey as to
leave no possible room for doubt.
r. IL T
commenced the spring of 1872. Two
of the five were reduced so low as to
give no new swarms, and but little
surplus honey. Three gave four
swarms and some surplus honey. 1
have no doubt had placed them i'm
the cellar, with little care and feed
ing they might all have been safely
carried through the winter My best
colony, the best have ever seen, is
yet promising well. / purchased it
in 1867, and have in the six seasons
had as much as 600lbs. ofsurplus from
ii. One year il gave 200 lbs; another
l43 lbs. The past season its product
was two new colonies and some 90
lbs. of surplus. / left the hive ex-
posed to the sun, being rather desir-
Gus to increase my deprecated stock
from one that had succeeded so well.
In field furnishing honey during
the whole warm season, larger
amount may be collected by each
colony than where the production of
honey ceases with the white clover.
In such fields hives should be con-
structed with more room in the breed |
ing and wintering apartment of the
hive.
/ think no one could have seen so |
many hives utterly starved before
midwinter, and think there is no
danger of over stocking. Through |
this section of the country probably /
more than three-fourths of the bees /
died during the winter.

THE following is from a late num-
her of the Greenup (Ky.) Indepen.
dent: Hunnewell Furnace, former
ly known as Greenup, bowed out on
Friday last, finishing blast which
we consider the largest on record.
Commencing in the early part of this
year it has had 296 working days in
all, during which it has produced
$500 tons of pig iron, or 154 tens each
day; and this on 5000 loads of char
coal, which is equal to 146 bushels of
coal to one of iron. 1t has now on
hand, we are told, as much charcoal
and ore, as it had year ago, so that
similar results may be expected from
its next blast, which commences in
February next. If we connect with
the neutrality-suspicious. by such
an extensive manufacturing bust
ness, the further production of over
1000 bushels of corn, 500 bushels of
oats, and so tons hay, all on the fur
mace grounds, as well as the opera
ton of circular saw mill, which
during the season has turned out L.
$50, 900 feet oflumber, it almost seems
beyond the capacity of one manager
to do all this and attend to it success
fully. And yet such is the case.
Mount Savage, after having been
stopped up for two weeks on account
of the scarcity of water, again COM
menced blowing on Saturday last.
Laurel Farnace has completed put
ting in a new inwall and started off
last Monday with a large enough
stock of coal on hand to be able to
meet the spring stock.

Growing Tomatoes from Cuttings.

Mr.. j. Cochrane, of Havana, Ills,
writes to the Western Rural asfollows !:
Sometime since it occurred to me
that tomatoes might be grown from
cuttings of the bearing vine, in the fall,
and wintered ingreen-houses in bear
ing condition. Accordingly, I made
several cuttings aud ported them in
four inch pots. when well rooted, and
havesince continued them in bear
ing condition. They are now in fruit.
The object in view is to have early
bearing plants for spring, by the time
they can 60 out of doors, instead of
waiting for seedlings to acquire suffic-
lent age to produce fruit
The experiment thus far is success.
The plants are strong and thrifty, and
more stocky than when growing from
seed. They are disposed to branch at
the axil of each leaf. and need no pru-
ming and cutting back No plant roots
easier from cuttings than the tomato. s"

Gov. Wise.

A correspondent of the Courier
Journal writing from Richmond, Va,
says:
Any day you may see on the streets
a white haired old gentleman, with a
big head through and a head across,
a powerful face, a ford complexion,
russet-leather boots and muller
around his throat. This is Gen. Hen
~ A. Wise. He lives in Chief JUS
tice Marshall's old residence, practices
law, is doing well, looks well and is
well. He says he was born sick, and
has been getting better ever since. In
fact, he never was so well as he is now
OF him it might be said with perfect
truth what Judge William Daniels in
the habit of saying about himself
thirty years ago | was very old; l
had dyspepsia" Gen. Wise may not
have had dyspepsia, but he is certainly
younger than he ever was. Full Of
life, he is ready to "chaff" every man,
woman, child and niger he meets
The other morning, near the New
Market, heard him singing out to an
oyster dealer across the street:
You send me them oysters he is
not particular about his grammar
q good ones. too, or | won't have 'em.
You oyster men ought to have barna-
cles on your cOnsciences, if you We got
any consc;ences, as big as the end of
my thumb.
The next moment he met an old ne
gro. Good morning. old man. -
What's the matter with you? Amt
you happy this fine morning? Well,
you ought to be happy-you're free
now"
And so he goes on with everybody
he meets. He is a perfect mine of
of all sorts, and his store
of anecdotes, "reminiscences and stories
of eminent men would make the for
tune of an interviewer.

FARMERS COLUMN.
How to Increase the Wheat Crop.


Wheat has come TO be one of the
staple crops of Tennessee. In ten
wears preceding the war (l65O-lS6O)
the crop of the State increased nve
fold This increase was the result OF
the discovery that Tennessee wheat
could be put into the New York mar
ket earlier and would command
better plice than any other except
California wheat. Farmers went to
growing wheat who had never grown
II before. and those who had grown it
grew all the more.
According TO the census in 1870,
the State had recovered her former
position in wheet culture. And we
venture to ~ let that when the
census of 1850 is taken the crop will
have increased in almost as great a
ratio as between 1850 and $50. We
think we see good grounds wherein
to base the prediction.
In the first place the demand will
increase by a large increase in the
Intoxicating population of the United
States, aud by a relative decrease in
the crop in the New England and
Middle Atlantic States. As a conse-
quence the price must remain good.
II becomes therefore a matter of mo-
ment to consider how the yield of the
growing crop may be increased. 1t
is not possible to increase the acreage
so that whatever is done, if any thing
can be done, must have for its aim
the increase in the yield of the acres
sown.
There are two practices common
in other countries which have been
scarcely, if at all, tried in Tennessee,
viz: manuring, and rolling and har-
rowing. OF the benefits of top dress
ing wheat the farmers of America as
a class know nothing. But very few
have ever tried the experiment, and
the great majority know nothing of
the experiments that have been made
elsewhere; and the same may be said
with regard to rolling and narrowing
wheat. Yet for many years the best
wheat growers of Europe have prac-
ticed both top dressing and rolling
wheat in the winter and spring, as
they think, with very satisfactory
results.
The method most approved is to
take "a light two horse roller and draw
over the whole field about the last of
winter or beginning of spring. The
roller breaks up the clods and presses
down the earth around the plants,
thus preventing the injury of ''spew-
ing out" so often complained OF. A
little later a generous top dressing of
super-phosphate or ashes is found to
pay. The experiments are worth
trying in Rural Sun.

Sow Turnip Seed for Salad.

The most delightful greens for
spring are those sown in the latter
part of winter. Let the square in
tended for late cabbage be broken up
as soon as the cold weather will per-
NIT, and well narrowed. Upon this
sow winter turnip seed in the proper
ton of pint to the acre. Afterwards
let a slight brush be drawn over the
land so as to get the seed slightly be-
meath the surface. They will ger
inmate the first warm spell and sup
ply an abundance of the very best
salad for early spring. Turnip greens
produced in this manner are superior
on account of their tenderness, deli
cacy of flavor and yield. Let those
who have never tried this plan set
about itat once and they will not re-
gret it,

turf, died few days ago, at the farm
of Maj. S. Hambright, in Bradley,

Cleveland, Tenn, in October last. by
some miscreant who was fearful of
the result OF a race at the Bradley
County Fair, in which Aneroid was
entered. The efforts of n number of
veterinary surgeons to dislodge the
poison were unsuccessful, and the
horse fingered in agony until his
death. SO fearful were the effects of the
poison that Aneroid's hoofS all came
off some time before his death. The
horse was owned by Maj. S. Ham
