Irish Potatoes.

Almost everybody cuts the potatoes into
several pieces, so as to have two or three ewes
on each cutting, putting one in hill When
ii is done this way, as general rule, the plot
will not average more than one stalk to a
hill Some will have two, perhaps three
many will have only one, and some will have
none, TO make good crop there should be
three or four stalks to hill Each one will
make as many potatoes as one. If there are
three stalks, the hill will make three times as
many potatoes as ifthere were only one stalk
Indeed, it is better to have four stalks than Il
less number. If this idea is correct, some
may suppose that the best plan would be to
plant cuttings with five or six eyes upon
them but that is mistake. When the
stalks come from one cutting, if they amount
to four or five, the roots are matted too close
together, the stalks grow up weak and slen-
der, the potatoes are too much crowded TO
expand as they should and the greater part
of them will be small. We discovered by ac-
cident or rather by close planting, the value
of the method we suggest We had only
small plot and planted in rows two feet apart
putting the cuttings about IL inches apart
i'll the rows To insure good stand we put
two cuttings TO place, having two and three
eyes on each. After finishing the plot we
had few cuttings left and put them in an
other place in a single row. After putting
two cuttings to place, there were still some
left, and we added one more cutting to each
place making three in hill. On the first
plot the stalks averaged about two to hill,
on the single row about four to hill. The
plot and the single row were covered eight
or ten inches deep with straw. About a week
after these were planted we found another
small place that could be appropriated to po-
tatoes, and in the rows single cutting was
deposited in each of the hills, and they too
were covered with straw. The result was,
the first plot with two cuttings more than
doubled, to the hill, the plot with only one
cutting, and the single row, with three cut
tings, fully trcblcd in quantity the plot with
only one, The result was so perfectly mani
fest that there was no room to doubt
Every one who tries it will be convinced.
1t requires some more potatoes to put three
cuttings to hill, but that little extra labor
and expense is not worth considering in the
great superiority of the yield of the tubers.-
We made the rows only two feet apart be-
cause the plot was so small, but we discovered
the additional fact that good potatoes can be
made in 2 feet as in 3 feet rows. OF course,
when not covered with straw and powed
and hood, 33l, or feet between rows would
be best.-Ge0,yia Union and Recorder.

Ect Every One sweep Before his Own
Door.

R4ct Every One sweep Before mis- own
Door.
DO we heed the homey alage handed down from
days of yorr,
" Ere you sweep your neighbours dwelling, clear
the rubbish from your door,
Let no nth, no rust there gather leave no traces
Pluck up every weed unsightly; brush the fallen
If we faithfully have hlborc,I thus to sweep with
out within,
Pluck up envy, OWL speaking malice, each besct-
Weeds that 10y the sacred portals of the inner tenn
pie grow;
Poison weeds thcheort defing. bearing bitterness
and woe
Then, pcrchancc, we may have leisure DER our
neighbor watch 10 keep;
\ II the work assigned us finished, we before his
door may sweep:
Show him where the moss is clinging-token ever
of decay
Where the thistos, thicky sprngng, daily must
be cleared away.
But alas! our work neglecting, oft we mount the
Judgment seat
With his failings, his omissions we our weary
brother greet;
In some hidden nook forgotten, searching with II
careful eye,
We the springing weeds discover some slight
blemsh there descry,
For this sOthfulncss, his blindness our brother
harshy chide;
Gloryingin our strength and wisdom, we condemn
him in our pride
Ask not why has neglected thus before his door
to sweep:
Why, grown careless, he has slumbered, failed his
garden plot to keep.
On the Judgment seat still sitting, we no helping
hand extend
TO assist our weaker brother, his shortcomings TO
amend;
For his WEAKNESS, his falt ring, sweet COM
passion show,
From ourstorc no cordial bring him, no encourage
mcnt beStow;
But while busted with our neighbor, urging him to
ceaseleSS care
Calling to the thoughtleSs oilers to their abors to
repair,
Lo! unseen the dust has gathered; weeds are grow
ing where of yole,
Flowers rare and sweet were blooming when we
swept before our door.
All how easy DER our brother faithful ward and
watch to keep;
But, alas before our dwelling hard indeed to daily
sweep
Harder than to share the conflict "by the stuff
at home to stay;
Easier far sit in Judgment than to humbly watch
and pray. -Chris'idn Work.
