PRESERVING HARNESS. -- The
first point to be observed, is to
keep the leather soft and pliable.
This can be done only by keeping
It well charged with oil and grease.
Water is destroyer of each one
of these. But mud and saline
moisture from the animal are even
more destructive. Mud in drying
absorbs the grease and opens the
pores of the leather, making it a
ready prey to the water, while the
salt character of the perspiration
from the animals Injuries the leath-
er, stitching, and mounting. 1t
therefore follows that to preserve a
Harness. the straps should be wash
ed and oiled at intervals az reduir-
ed. To do this effectually the
straps should be all utibuclsIed and
detached, then washed with warm
soft water and brown soap, and
HING by slow fire or in the sun
until nearly dry, then coated with
q mixrlre of neatsfoot oil and tai
low, and allow to remain in warm
room for several hours, and when
perfectly dry rub thoroughly with
a WOODEN rag. The rubbing is i'm
portant, as it, in addition to remov
ing the surplus oil and grease,
tends to close the pores and gives
a finish to the leather. In hanging
harness care should be taken to
allow all the straps to hang their
full length. Light is essential to
the care of leather, and when the
harness closet is dark the door
should be left open at least half
the time during the day. All
closets should be well ventilated,
and, when possible, we'll lighted.
10 clean plated monntings, use
channels with little tripoli or rot
ten stone; but they should be
secured as little as possible.-Har-
ness journal.

How TO SAVE SWEET PoTA.
T0Es.-We promised some time
ago to tell our readers how<t0 save
sweet potatoes. Our plan has al
ways been to put them up in hills
of about forty bushels, covering
them well with straw and earth.
This plan has the recommendation
of economy, and has generally
proved successful. We have oc-
casionally had the potatoes to rot,
which we have attributed to the
fact that they were dug when the
potatoes were filed with sap, or to
premature covering. During this
summer we visited q friend in Mid
die Georgia, who gave us his plan,
which he assured us had never
failed bntoncein along experience,
and in that instance the failure
was the result of carelessness i'm
leaving the potatoes exposed to q
severe spell of cold weather.
His plan is to house them. For
this purpose he has a brick house
made perfectly tight, about eight
feet high, and over this brick work
as o basement, he has a store room,
the floor of the store room being
made very close, which lis the
covering of the potato room. AS
the potatoes are gathered they are
emptieG in this basement, the door
Of which is left open for several
days, and also two or three of the
flooring planks above are removed
until the potatoes have undergone
acOmplete sweat. This sweat is
very profuse one, sometimes cover
ing the whole inside of the store
room above with moisture. AS soon
as this process is completed, which
will be apparent to the eye, the
floor is carefully replaced, and the
door to the potato room closed.
Care is now taken to exclude the
cold air as much as possible, and
with this view the door should
never be left open on cold days.
The next spring the potatoes go
through another sweat, and as soon
as this sets in, the openings should
be made as before. In this way,
with no other care or protection,
the potatoes are kept perfectly
sound until the next May.
A house made of hewed logs,
fitted as closely as possible, the
seams covered with boards, and
the cracks daubed tightly with
mortar, will answer as well as
brick.-Alabama Farm Journal.

GEEGGsyILLE. March l4th 1850.


GEEGGsvILLE, March l4th, 1850.
EDITOR SILVER STATE: In the year
1863, | camped near the Sink of the
humboldt river. was agreeably sur
priced to see the Indians making sugar,
Of which they had several hundred
pounds on hand. Having had thirteen
years experience in the cultivation of
the sugar cane ard the manufacture Of
sugar, l took considerable interest in
their operations. | examined the sugar
and found it granular | also found
that the plant from which they extract
ed the juice was "a species-a true type
of the sugar cane. i went to the bank
of the river where they had been cut
ting it aud saw it growing around pre-
miscuously. / am of the opinion that
it can be cultivated and improved in
quality OH the Big Meadows, or wher-
ever it is indigenous to the soil. The
Il
ameter, but by cultivation it would
grow larger in size and produce more
saccharine juice. There is however one
difficulty that would have to be over
come-that is: Sugar cane must be
ripe or the juice will not granulate into
singer, and it requires from nine to
eleven months in hot climate to ripen
it. 1t is probable that here, where the
growing season is from four to SIX
months, that the time would not be
sufficient to mature the cane, and that
it would require two seasons. How
ever that may be, the farmers on or
about the Sink OF Humboldt, should
give it trial. To do so it may prove
advantageous to observe the following:
The cane grows in joints; each joint has
a bud from which the new cane is de-
veloped and from which the roots pene-
trate the earth for nourishment to sup
ply the sprout. To make the plant the
cane should be cut in lengths Of four
Joints, and from fonr to six cuts, half
from the top and half from the butt
ends of the cane, and put into a
hole in the ground about fourteen
inches square, six inches deep and three
feet apart. The plant should be COW
cred with about three inches of soil,
sufficiently moist and warm to cause
fermentation in the plant and thereby
start the roots and sprouts. When the
growth is about ten inches high it will
be we'll to put fresh mold to the young
cane. As the cane viii not require
! planting oftener than ten years, it
should be emit as close to the ground as
possible. The ratoons mature earlier
and make better sugar than the firss
cutting.
Should any person attempt to cnlt-
vate the cane, and desire information
on the subject, I shall take pleasure in
imparting what knowledge | have ac-
