The propriety of feeding sulphur

lice, but seems to have n beneficial

lengthwise, preserving on each piece
all that can be spared to it, from the
point of incision to the base or but
of the potato.
1t might be asked why it is not
better to cut two eyes on each piece,
since two eyes are planted, than one
eye on each and plant two pieces. l
answer, because | can cut them
better, and much more satisfactorily,
and another reason is that, cut in
single eyes, it is more than probable
that, in planting them, you take out
of the basket eyes from different
parts of the same potato, or, what is
better yet, an eye each from two
potatoes. j. L. Perkins, p. 80, tells
us that potatoes deteriorate, fact of
which l suppose every farmer is
aware, and | have no doubt it is due
in a great measure to planting whole
potatoes, which is kind of in. breed
ing. Hence the necessity of cutting
potatoes, in which case it is not so
rapid, and if, in planting two or more
pieces in a hill, the planter was par
ticular to select from different pota-
toes it would be still less. Everyone
does or should understand that sex
exists as certainly in the Vegetable
as in the animal kingdom; hence the
necessity of having the two in the
potato field in at least a neighborly
relation, not of the same but differ
ent potatoes. Some farmers cut off
the top or seed end, as it is called,
but this should not be done; every
eye should be planted. 1t is said by
those who claim to know that the
eyes near the base are the male, and
those on the upper part are the fe-
male, the number on each being in
the right proportion. If this be so,
it is clear that every eye should be
planted. With corn, none but per-
fectly filled ears should be used for
seed, and from these the tip and but
kernels should not be rejected, as is
the practice with some farmers, but
every kernel planted. OF course you
will get potatoes if you reject the tip
end, and so you will corn If you re-
ject the tip kernels, but you will not
get as large an average Of well-filled
ears, the tip kernels being necessary
to this end, as the middle ones are TO
the body of the ear.

Cutting Seed Potatoes.

From G. T. Hewes in Country Gentleman.
/ have thoroughly tested planting
potatoes whole, in halves, quarters,
eighths, and in one, two and three
eyes, and my conclusion is, that cut
to a single eye on a piece and two
pieces on q hill, is the best economy
for the most profit. I prefer planting
in drills 3 or 81 feet apart, dropping
the peices together every 10 or IL
inches. 1t is true that, in this way
of planting, there are not as many
potatoes, but what there are grow to
good size for the table and will yield
more bushels to the acre than more
seeding will give. L. ii. ID. says
that he cut some pieces "as small as
grains of corn" When potatoes
have been so very scarce that it was
necessary to practice the most rigid
economy, / have planted the parings
saved from the potatoes prepared for
the table, with satisfactory results.
AS to the manner of cutting, prefer

ye.it;s a fac. that all our moro nsr

Yet it is a fact that all our moro per.
nicious weeds, like our vermin, are of
Old World origin. They hold up their
heads and assert themselves here, and
take their fill of riot and license; they
are avenged for their long years of
repression by the stern hand of Euro
pean agriculture. Until l searched
through the botanies | was not aware
to what extent we were indebted to
Europe for these vegetable lshmaelites.
We have hardly weed we can call our
own recall but three that are at all
noxious or troublesome, viz: milk. weed,
rag.weed and goldenrod; but who
would miss the latter from our fields
and highwaysf
"Along the roadside like the flowers Of gold
That tawny Incas for their gardens wrought
Heavy with sunshine dr00ps the golden rod"
sings Whittier. In Europe our golden.
rod is cultivated in the flower gardens,
as well il might be. The native species
is found mainly in the woods, and is
much less snowy than ours.
Our milk weed is tenacious of life
its roots lie deep. as il to get away from
the plow, but it seldom infests cultivat-
ed crops. Then its stalk is so full of
milk and its pod so full of silk that one
cannot but ascribe good intentions TO
it, if it does sometimes overrun the
meadows.
"In dusty pods the milk-wced
Its hidden silk had spun"
sings II. H.. " in her September"
OF our rag.weed not much can be set
down that is complimentary, except
that its name in the botany is AmJrosia,
food OF the gods. 1t must be the food
of the gods if of anything, for, so far as
have observed, nothing terrestrial eats
it, not even billy.goats. Asthmatic peo-
pie dread it, and the gardener makes
short work of it. 1t is about the only
one of our weeds that follows the plow
and the harrow, and except that it is
easily destroyed, | would suspect it to
be an immigrant from the Old World.
Our fieabane is a troublesome weed at
times. but good husbandry makes short
work OF it.

and garden come to us from over seas

Extracts and Comments.

In turning sod for corn any breaks
or "balks" in the work will prove an
annoyance in after. cultivation, and
should be avoided.-Enmer's Friend.
These "balks" are not only "an
annoyance in decentralization" but
are a positive detriment to the crops
when planted, whether it be corn or
any other. A good plow, properly
set and properly held, will make but
few, bat these few should not be
passed over. Avoid making them il
possible, but under no circumstances
leave them. Stop, shack up" and

Do NOT wait until the corn and
potatoes are up to attack the weeds.
A harrow with small teeth, made of
steel sloping backward, and close
together, can be run over the ground
within few days after planting,
carrying destruction to myriads of
weeds, and helping the corn "come
up" at the same time.
