Sweet, or Carolina Potato.


To our taste there is not in all mother earth's
succulcnt provisions more delicious tuber than
the sweet potato, and II ismuch more easily kept
through the winter than many people seem to
know. The essential requirements are dry air and
absence Of frost. For the preservation Of small
quantities just for family use there need he little
or no trouble and danger In keeping them sound
and fresh until the next years crop Is ready for
use A few dry shelves in warm cellar or cup
board. upon which the tnbers can be spread out,
is all that is needed where they will not freeze and
where the air will be dry continually.
Two facts which lately came to our knowledge
teach safer lesson than much speculation and
thsorzlng; lp 1 thS month Of July while spending
erM beautiful, large, sound sweet potatoes OF the
yellow variety OF the previous years growth.
in I thc XXI Kitchen h pantry % Where Where they had lain ali
winter and spring, with no care but dry air and
freedom from frost, but came out perfectly sound
and fresh.
ANOTHER CASE.
In Septevabcr Just gone, while visiting farmer
IN Prince Georges county Nd, he showed us some
very fine sound sweet potatoes of last year growth
the top shelves Of a cupboard in the dinngroom
with no other care or prepnrnton. In view OF this
fact the readers Of the NATIONAL REPrBIIcAS, as
well as other householders may buy their supply
Of the excellent cscucnt In the fall. when they are
cheap. and keep till the next season with no add.
tional cxpcnse, when they arc much more costly.
But ns several Of our readers In this vicinity have
very large crop Of sweet potatoes this fall other
arrangements will be required by them for drying
and keeping till spring. Two not very expensive
modes can be adopted for keeping large quantities
Of them. The best mode is to put up several series
Of shelves in the dry house, the lower one at least
three feet above the ground, and the next one high
enough above that to admit Of working between
them, and then the potatoes may be spread upon
these shelves six eight deep The shelves should
be made of narrow Stats. three to six inches wide
TO leave cracks for the dry air to pass through
among the tubers. It Is much safer To have them
thus elevated. as the warm, dry air always rises
al. taE.f nla tNT
piled lower and on the ground, below the stratas o
dry air.
Another good way Is TO store them In boxes and
barrels In layers Of several inches, with equa
layers OF chaff or hnelycut straw between, and bt
kept free from freezing Let us have plenty OF thest
delicious tubers AL the year round"

About Aldcrney Milk.

Tho Alderney and Jersey cows-a small
breed of cattle from the Isles Of Brtanare justly
entitled to the reputation of giving milk
very rich In cream; but for general
purposes, about the table, 1t is not better
than good pure milk from other well.fed COWS; for
the butter.maker, whose chief object is to get the
largest quantity of cream from his milk. the Al
derney is unquestionahly superior; and this breed
also very generally gives the greatest quantity Of
milk and cream from given amount Of feed OF
any cows we have.
Some weeks ago a report Of proceedings Of a GER
tain milkman's operations were published in the
NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,, which i Is claimed, are In
correct IN several statements which does injustice
to several other milkmen who arc subscribers and
rcaders of this daily. by which means they discov.
cred the errors. We were visiting several good
farmers few days ago In Alexandria and Fairfax
counties, Va. who sell good deal of milk for
Washington and GcorgeOwn, and In conversation
on that subject they called our attention to the
errors In the aforementioned report. The state
ments made by Mr. W, and complained of by these
other milkmen. are that most of the milkmen have
barrels in their wagons and carry home in them
filthy slOps from the city, with which they feed
their cows. This Is denied by them, and from
our personal knowledge for many years
are rabe beS arc also 'aayed say bo Mr.
VS. statement, that he furnishes pure Alderney
milk" Is also erroneous, rs he keeps and milks no
Alderney cows, but buys his mks Of different
parties wherever he can. in small quantities with,
out any regard 10 the breed of cows or how they
were Kept, or Of the cleanliness and manner OF
milking and that It Is unjust to claim the special
credit o. supplying clean, pure Alderney milk
when II Is not such anymore than that supplied by
| other milkmen In the same vicinity.
They have not the least objection to any man
| selling all the milk he can, and any kind which
the people are willing TO buy. but they do object tc
| mcnt Of other dealers. They are not willing ont
dealer should obtain credit and prestige by crro
neous declarations which do INJUSTICE to other
much as we wish TO deal fairly with all parties IL
