A Big Potato Patch.

Amos Turner Esq, near Laws Church,
in Kent county, has this year t'0cnty:tve
acres in sweet potatoes. We suppose this
to be the largest sweet potato patch In DEL
aware, or perhaps on the Peninsula. Mr..
Turner has been at this business for several
wears past and every season increases the
area in this culture. This proves that he
has found a good thing and it would be
well if the owners of sandy soil in Sussex
and other parts of the Peninsula would
follow his example. He plants in hills ft.
8 inches apart each way and cultivates
chiefly with the plough and harrow. He
adopts fully and in every respect the Jersey
method. Tho land is furroughed out in
the Spring and the manure, well composted
and rotted, is placed in the hill and covered
by hand with hoe. This covering makes
a small hill and though the cultivation
tends to fatten it, it is kept up most OF the
season. lie says his greatest trouble is to
get manure enough. He makes all he can
at home and buys a great deal in Milford
and Frederick besides. His crop this year
ought to be about 4 thousand barrels of
good merchantable tubers which at So per
barrel ARE worth $4,000 for the crop or as
much IS six thousand bushels of corn. In
this business the Peninsula ought to in
crease her exports at least $250,000 per
annum. We have the soil and the climate,
and human industry, energy, and skill
ought easily to supply whatever is needed.

tic medicine that can be employed: cleans
ing the stomach and bowels. and even the
blood. In small doses of one pill day,
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body, and are SO composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have baffled the best of
human skill. While they produce power
tul effects, they are, at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inhamed.
They reach the vital fountains of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing il
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

WHITE Morris may now be observed in
vast numbers lowering about gardens and
truck patches. In a short time their
progeny, the small green worms, will
begin operations on the late cabbages. Many
means for their destruction have been pro-
posed. Sprinkling the plants with bran
has been characterized as the cheapest,
safest, and most effectual remedy. Last
season the bran treatment was tried with
out success. Fine salt sprinkled on the
leaves while the dew was on in the morn
ing proved satisfactory. 1t is cleanly,
cheap, and worth all it costs as a manure
upon a plant that is native of the sea
coast and especially enjoys salt. We have
lately seen it recommended in solution in
preference to powder, and probably it would
be more effectual in this way. In this case
a brine made as strong as it is generally
used upon meat, may be applied all over
the cabbage plants, from the rose of a
watering pot, or by means of a garden
syringe.-Dela. County Record.

VETCHEs OR TAREs.-Some farmers in the
State of New York have turned their at.
tention to vetches as a green fodder, or for
sailing. The vetch is of two kinds-winter
and spring. By sowing the former in
October and the latter in April, May and
June a succession of green crops may be
kept up during the season. In England
the vetch is considered one of the best OF
the various green crops, and in Canada it
has favorite forge. 1t is used for soiling
fed on the ground, or cut and cured as hay
Cattle are said to eat it with avidity. II
prefers a clay soil, but will grow on any
not too poor nor too dry. The winter
vetch may be plowed in in the spring for
manurial purposes. We have no doubt that
sown in the fall with rye it would make a
most desirable forage for milk COWS in
early spring, but we suspect that our farm
ers generally will prefer Indian corn drilled
in for cutting during its season.-Deta
