Sweet Potatoes.

Consume or dispose of the earlier
paintings first. they will not keep
as well through the winter as the
late planted, We have tested that
point thoroughly. Dig after the
first light frost, but be sure not to
let q hard freeze come on them.
Putting away. in dry sand is the
safest mode Of keeping them. Build
a cheap house of good size, and pro-
cure q good supply of dry sand in
the dry hot weather Of summer, or
else dry it on shees'iron over fire.
This trouble once taken, the ar
rangement will last indefinitely, and
it will not be much greater than
that usually incurred Of getting corn
stalks, pine straw. bark, &c., and
building shelter every year. Put
ting away in dry sand resembles ma
ture' method of preserving the po-
ta:o. During the dry season Of the
tropics (of which the potato is q ma
tive, the tuber remains in the dry,
iparched earth. readysto grow again
when the rainy season begins. If
put up in banks in the usual method,
be sure to put on dirt freely; more
potatoes are lost from insufficient
covering than. from any enc cause.
If some method was adopted of pre-
serving potatoes easily on q large
scale. as could be done in a house
with. dry sand, they would soon be-
come the root crop Of the South, and
furnish vast amount of cheap
stock feed during The winter.

What Farmers Succeed.

That farmer will succeed who makes
up his mind that the whole secret of
success is in himself; that it is the
man and not the business that tells.
He will sneceed if he uses the same
amount of skill, forethought, energy,
economy and judgement that any
other branch Of business requires.
He will succeed if he sticks close to
his farm, as the mechanic does to
his shop, and not expect to work
three o. four months. and then take
his ease the rest of the year. That
farmer will succeed who takes the
papers. and digests what he reads.
and is not afraid of new ideas and
new methods of industry. He will
succeed if it is his intention that
whatever he sends to market shall
be the very best, and so made and
put up that when seen it will be
captivating for its freshness, clean
illness and purity, and will be un'
hesitatingly taken on account of his
we'll known character for honesty OF
weight, measure and count. Those
who have farms may think them
selves fortunate, for although they
will not thereby find sudden roads
to wealth, they will certainly prove
that persistent farm labor will bring
sure reward. It is worthy of no.
tice that the advsnturer and specu'
lator, with blasted hopes and shat
tered health and fortune, has in the
end to come back to the farm fol
