THE SWEET PoTATo--How TO MAKE AND
KEEP,

EDITOR SOUTHERN CULTIvAToR.-In
your editorial for the April number of the
Cultivntor, you use the very strong language
with reference to the sweet potato, that it
should be the "great crop of the South !"
Now the above assertion by one of your ex.
perionce and position, should put the cot
ton worshippers to thinking. What The
sweet potato the great crop of the South
treason to king cotton So says the Editor
of the Cultivator, and so say 1, and, of
course, the matter is settled beyond all
controversy. ....
But in nothing is the proverb, that "there

and all do we'll when the potatoes don't rot.
In order to succeed in keeping them, it is
best to dig in dry time, and not before the
potatoes are ripe. But these two conditions
secured, viz: dry weather and ripe pota-
toes, there is no need of waiting for frost.
All farmers who read the Cultivator
know what kind of land suits the potato
The phosphates, or cotton seed and ashes, or
stable manure and ashes, with thorough
preparation and the proper cultivation, will
bring the potatoes.
Now for the keeping. Put them in
perfectly dry house, with ground floor
little raised, to protect them from rising
moisture. A meat house, where salt has
been kept, will not dot is too damp. A
few small cracks for air to pass,through are
~ the better Have your house ready. BY
Sstnfnfer, and ia the driest time you can ret,
haul enough sand to cover we'll all the po-
tatoes you hope to make. Place two or
three inches of sand Cor ioor Then put
down basket of potatoes and enough sand
on them to cover them-then potatoes and
sand enough to fill the cracks, until the po-
tatoes are all Gov red. Then, lastly, put on
sand, until the v ..ole hill is covered two or
three inches with sand. Be sure to have
enough dry sand-it will not do to put on
that which is damp. Now turn your hogs
in to root your patch. When we'll rooted,
put on few cotton seed and mako your

1t was not our intention to say that the
sweet potato should be "tho great crop of
the South" but instead the "grcat root
CROP" &c. There is no doubt, however,
that its cultivation might be pushed very
much farther to very great advantage
Cows. hogs, sheep and poultry, might be
largely and pro6tably fed upon potatoes,
and vinegar of excellent quality could
doubtless be made from them.-Ed. SO.

RUSSIAN REMEDY FOR HYDRopnoBIA
"A correspondent of Land and Watc,
(London) describes the following Russian
treatment of hydrobhobia: In Seraton
the inhabitants collect the larva of the rose
beetle (Cctonia aurata), which arc chiefly
found in the wood-ants' nests. The grubs
are gathered in the spring, placed in earth,
and their change or metamorphosis watched
for. When this takes place, they kill the
beetles and dry them. The powdered in.
sect must be kept in Theoretically sealed
bottles. or the dried beetles may be kept in
sealed pots and reduced to powder when
wanted. Three beetles powdered arc con.
sidered dose@fo an adult, given immedi
ately after the bite. One for child and
FIVE for an adult in which the disease has
declared itself The effect is to produce q
long sleep, which must not be interrupted.
The bite is also treated surgically. The
beetles caught on flowers are not so bcnefi.

stage; and killed directly after they attain
the image. Some of tho Russians give
their dogs occasionally half beetle as a

IMPROVE THE STOCK.

We are glad to note the increased inter

subject. 1t is beginning to be seriously
considered and earnestly discussed among
those even who have heretofore bcen con.
tent with the runts and scrubs which. only
by the most elastic courtesy, could be de.
signated by the name of stock.
The South can and should be great
stock raising country. Climate, range and
nearness to markets are all in our favor
A little less cotton and little more stock
should be the programme of every farmer.
The true road to success lies in this direc-
tion and the man who takee no interest in
this matter will find himself far in the
back ground.
Improved stock, of all kinds, can now be
obtained at comparatively reasonable prices
IL pure blood animals cannot be procured
at once, it will be economy to grade up the
common stock, thus adding several hundred
per cent. to their value each year.
Cattle, horses, sheep, hogs and poultry
are the results Of Intelligent management
Of farm affairs. They possess tangible
value which does not attach. to acres Of
cotton or cane or any other precarious crop
Besides this, they form certain basis upon
which to estimate future profits, and it is
fair to state that any reasonable estimates
in this direction are fully realized. ~

SECOND WORKING OF CORN,

AS soon as the ploughs are through tHe
cotton, the second working Of coru usually
begins. If the corn is not over knee high,
it may be ploughed close and deep. We
often apply manure to il at this time, siding
with twister, Owing away from the corn
dropping manure on each side of hill, and
then ruuaiug with wing towards the ccrn,

in which bran has been stirred al the rate
of one quart to two gallons of water. You
will find, if you have not tried this daily

mould some five or six inches deep, and in

top of this mould a layer of clean, coarse
sand about two inches deep, and on top of
this oms,small pebbles. Then FIJI che lar

DUCK DEMONSTRATIONS make vcrv

tourths Of the young ducks that ure lost :.
IN early infancy, are killed by cramps and

water before the down upon their skin is
thick enough to resist these ill.effects.
Ducks are aquatics. but are not marines!
Most persons suppose that they belong to
the water as fish do. The wild water fowls
have an oily coat that helps to preserve
them; while domesticated ducks lose this.
under home cultivation. 1t has been found :.
from oft-repeated experiment, that duck
lings do well largely in proportion where
they are not permitted to have access to
water to swim in until they arc four to six
weeks old. They should be started early,
and thus they mature more profitably for

MOTHS IN CARPETs.-This paragraph
wiil be interesting to housekeepers who
have carpets to keep from being moth. eaten.
Mrs. s. T. w., says the Country Gentleman,
has tried salt and various other applications,
and still the insects trouble her carpets
we advise her to try the plan proposed by
Prof "A. j. Cook, in his report on injurious
insects. He advises to take wet sheet or
cloth, lay it upon the carpet and then 60
over the wet cloth with hot fat iron the
steam thus produced will penetrate tho
carpet, and not only destroy living moths
but cook their eggs, and prevent them from
Matching. 1t is cheap and easy of applica-
ton, and We have no doubt that it will
prove effective. The only wonder is, that
no one has thought of it before.
