sweet POe.toes.

Having made the growing and keeping
of sweet potatoes a speciality for a mum
Der of years, will give your readers my
opinion of the different varieties and how
they Weld with me:
First on the listi is the old Yellow Nanse-
mond, a short, thick potato; quality first
rate, but poor cropper. Next is the
Early Jersey, very much like the Nanse
mond, only does not grow quite so large,
consequently not very profitable tn raise
Red Nasemond does not do well in this
latitude, being very late variety; have
quit trying to rase it altogether. Red
Bermuda, a very productive sort, but
quality very poor; cannot be sold where
its qualities are known. Southern Queen
is also very early and productive vari-
ETY., but In quality about the same as the
Bermuda. The Bermuda and the Queen
are the earliest varieties | have tried.
Next is the white Brazilian, a very large
potatoe, Il have grown them to weigh
from five to seven pounds and quality
first rate, but are very poor keeper.
Next, and last on the list, is the un
eaualed Pimento, very large, yellow
potato, quality the very best; it yielded
with me last season more than double
what my other varieties did. | have
only tried it one year, and will plant
most of my crop this year of the Pimem-
TO- / do not know the history of the
Pimento further than they were brought
from some of the Southern States to
Illinois, some three or four years ago. L
have no seed to sell, but would just say
TO the readers of the good old Enquirer
who raise sweet potatoes, that it will pay
to try the Pimento. | would also say
that if any one has seed Of this variety to
sell this spring it will pay him to adver-
tise them in the Enquirer. Would be
pleased to hear from others who raise the
sweet potato through the Enquirer col

Improve lhe Live SLOcE of the
Farm.

Even on a well-managed farm there is
generally room for improvement in the
live stock. Horses are sometimes kept
until they are old and weak, unable to
perform the necessary labor and unfit
for sale. ~Cows are sometimes kept until
they are entirely unfit for the dairy or
for breeding, but they consume as much
provendcr as those which are in their
prime and able to yield a large supply of
milk, and strong, healthy calves. A
great improvement might be made in a
flock of sheep by culling out from it, at
least once year, all the ewes that pro-
duce light feeces of an inferior staple of
wool, and supplying their places with
others of superior quality it in every way.
A great improvement may be made in
swine by getting rid of unthrifty animals
and introducing the best breeds which
possess the desirable properties of fatten-
ing readily, coming to maturity at an
early age, and paying well for the food
they eat

Corn Planting i'm Georgia.

The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer of the
ID inst says: In conversing with farmers
and warehausemen who have great deal
of business intercourse with them we are
impressed that the farmers are going to
plant more corn than ever Near the
cities they will put the greater proportion
of their lands in cotton. Some distance
away from markets much the greater
part of the crop will be corn. They are
preparing their best land for cotton. A
great deal more guano is being bought
this year than for several past, and
proportion of it will be put under the
corn. They have learned, by dear ex-
perience, to apply fertilizers, and they
now can use them to great advantage"
