Hints on Sweet Potatoes.
fRural soutlierner.l !

l will mention some experiments
which l made in 1861. commenced in
August. On being cut after digging
them, they would turn the whitest
about the first quarter of the moon, or
soon after, and the darkest about the
time of the last quarter. Those dug for
seed the last mentiond time all rotted,
while the former saved well. They
were put into house, and were sepa-
rated by partition of straw. These
experiments were made at the request
of Mr.. c., mentioned in my former
article; but whether it was the moon
or not which made the difference, L
will leave for others to experiment
still further and to decide. My own
has been that the moon does not exert
any influence over vegetation. If not,
it may still serve as a guide to the
time when it is best to dig the potato.
From my own experiments and obser-
vations, as well as from what / can
learn by inquiries from others, think
that any one, on making proper trial,
will become convinced that the potato,
to keep well, must be dug when it has
very little sap in it: that, when it is
cut, the surface must heal over white
and dry. AT such times, also it will
be found much more palatable. The
Spanish, especially when dug in full
sap, will often, turn dark on being
cooked, when brought Immediately
from the patch, and besides it will
taste more or less bitter.
