From the Rural SUM-
Sweet Potato Culture.
tie Rural Sun.

Having had ten or twelve years eXpe-
rience, will give you my plan of trans
planting potato slips. Some persons wait
for seasons to set slips. This is unneces-
sary. cultivated last year ten or twelve
acres in sweet potatoes, and | set them
without waiting for season. My plan is
to have my land well prepared and free
from clods the beds freshly thrown up
about three feet apart. l would here speak
of the great benefit of the potato ridger,
which every man can have at little cost
by taking the common shovel or bull
tongue pillow and put on wooden wings.
Have them about three feet apart at the
points. This ridger is capable of Throw
ing up from four to five acres per day with
one horse after being bedded with the
pillow, which is more than equal to ten or
twelve hands with hoes.
My plan for setting slips is this: Having
got both plants and ground ready, no mat
ter how dry the weather is, | proceed to
plant by hauling to the field barrel of
water, which is sufficient to set ten thou
sand plants. Take a bucket and fill with
water and mix in dirt until the whole is
of that consistency best to stick to the
roots of the slips. Take twenty or thirty
slips in your hand at a time, straighten
and even them, then dip them in the mud
nearly to the bottom leaves. Drop fifteen
inches apart and set them well in the
ground to the bottom leaf The dirt should
be well pressed to the roots,
1 recommend farmers and gardeners to
try this plan, as deem it greatly to their
interest. L have pursued this plan for
several years, and find it successful, hav-
ing but few to replant. My yield is gener-
ally from one hundred TO three hundred
bushels per acre, according to variety of
the potato.
My garden is located four miles from
Nashville, Lebanon pike, Mill creek.
