Growing Potatoes.


| Irish potatoes, if not already
planted. shouId be at once. Choose
if possible. good black. moist. bdt
not wet soil, and manure literally
avoiding, however, too much crude
stable manure, if you desire tubers
of the best quality. Wood ashes,
chip manure, rotten saw-dust, and
the scrapings of the house yard are
excellent for this crop. An Illinois
correspondent of the Rural World
writes as follows
believing that one good turn
deserves another, having been bene-
fitted by others experience in yeur
paper, / thought to give mine in re-
gard to raising Irish potatoes. Ear
ly last spring I plowed a piece of
ground, two rods wide by nineteen
long. Narrowed it fine; then took
two-horse pillow and ridged it up
something like sweet potato ridges,
only fiatter on top; took handstake,
sharpened at one end, and made
holes by thrusting the stake down
into the ridge; the holes were made
about eighteen inches apart on al
.ternate sides of the ridge. A boy
followed and dropped seed in each
hole; then we took a mixture of
Stacked lime and leached ashes,
equal parts, and put handful in
each hill; covered lightly with earth.
They soon started to grow, and as
the plants began to appear above
ground, we covered them with straw
about one foot deep. That was all
the work they got, except going
through them every morning for two
weeks and killing the bugs. The
weeds never got through the straw
during the summer. Now, for re-
suits. We beganusing them the 18th
of June-used all we wanted Of
them IA family Of six persons) until
the 1st of November. We took up
what remained of them, which was
fifty bushels, of as large and dry po-
tatoes as could be desired. They
were of the Early Rose variety.
The ground was only common prairie,
and has been in cultivation for ten
years. Was it the lime and ashes,
or the manner of planting, or the va
riety of potato used, that gave such
results? There was not less than at
the rate of three hundred bushels
per acre"

Stable Economy.

In selecting a site for horse-barn
a high and dry situation is essential
ia order to drain the stable, purify
the atmosphere aronnd it, and pre-
serve the health of its inmates
The stable should front the south to
shelter the stock from the prevailing
cold winds, and give them the bene-
fit of the warmth of the sun. It re-
quires to be thoroughly drained and
well ventilated. Damp filthy stables
full of decayed vegetable matter
and foul air, are the prominent
causes of such fatal disorders as
spring fevers, infuenzas, farcy and
glanders, that destroy annually so
many valuable horses. Fresh air is
indispensable to supply the place of
that which has been once breathed,
and take away the fumes of ammo
mia always found in close stables,
depriving the atmosphere of its life
sustaining element, till tits not fit
to breathe. Next to ventilation,
light is essential to the health of
horses. Blindness as well as other
diseases have been attributed to
dark, ill-ventilated stables. The do
INVESTIGATED horse is more predisposed
to become blind than any other ami
NAL. The cause must result from
over exertion, or mismanagement in
the stable. The wild horse is sell
dom found blind. This shows that
close stables have a potent effect in
spreading the infrmity. 1t has been
said that dampness. in brick walls
may be obviated by extending the
roof over the gable ends and sides
some two or three feet. The pro-
lection makes the barn cooler in sum-
mer and warmer in winter, whether
it diminishes the causes of diseases
or not. Apertures for ventilation
always left open will renovate the
stable by the constant escape of the
foul air, and the resuppiy of the
pure element.

Ashes for Fruit Trees.

/ will give you the result of my
observation on the subject. have
an orchard of superior apples, of
which 1 am a great admirer. Lids
covered last spring that several of
the trees were in state of decline,
and upon examination found every
tree infested withyernin of different
kinds. / dug the.turf from around
the trunk of each tree, and applied
half bushel of lcached ashes in its
place, piling them up around the
body of each tree. The improve
ment in the orchard soon became
quite apparent, and have no doubt
if the same process were repeated
annually it would, be attended with
like favorable result. / examined
the trees this fall and found all of
them clear of vermin but one, which
I purposely omitted applying the
ashes to. This leads me to the con-
clusion that ashes destroy the YER
min and likewise promote the growth
of the-trees.

Preparing Land for Tobacco Plants.

A Virginia Farmers Club adopted
the following as the sentiment of
the Club on this subject: That, as
a matter of economy, burning should
be dispensed with, except on such
land as actually required it; not
that burning was of no use, but not
necessary, and by emitting it much
wood and labor would be saved
The following plan, without burning,
had long been successfully practiced
by members of the Club: Select q
place in woods of original growth,
as far as possible from arabic lands
and old plant beds; grub, and clean
Off all leaves and trash. then coulter
the bed deep and well, turning as
little of the surface soil as possible
Sow 900 lbs. of guano per acre,
and rake it in. leaving the surface o.
the bed level. Sow the seed, one
pipefnr to every zen square yards,
tread them in and cover well, first
with stable manure, then with brush.
Would re-sow the first Of March.
and hasten IF necessary the plants
by frequent. applications of fersili-
zers. Would not select very moist
places for Plant-beds, relying on
deep cultivation for moisture. To
prevent fy. would use kerosene
mixed with lime and guano. Fly
would not injure plants while in .
rapidly growing condition.
