Sweet Potato Culture.

Preparing the Ground.-Do not be
in too great haste to set sweet pota-
toes in the field, for the plant is a ma
tive of a warm climate,.a land a cold,
wet spell is a serious drawback. Ex-
cessively rich soil should be avoided,
as tending too much to vine. Make
the ground thoroughly fine, then
with two-horse plow set as deep as
it will run, throw up the ridge as
large and high as you can possibly
make it with two burrows. Strive to
keep the ridges as close together as
possible; let the centers be trifle
less than four feet apart. Let the
hoes follow the plow, dressing up the
ridges and cracking an occasional
clod. Do not spend very much time
hoeing. Take care not to make more
ridges than there are plants to fill, as
freshly plowed ground is more moist
and better for the plants than dry.
Planting.-Leave the plants in the
bed as long as convenient before
taking out, for the fresher when
planted, the better they will thrive.
When the plants are three and half
to FIVE inches above ground, they are
ready to pull. Do this by placing one
hand on the ground around the plant,
then draw slowly with the other,
taking care not to pull up the potato;

w ASHlNGTON, MARCH ~.
To the Editor of the Statesman:
With all of his supposed ability and
credit for making close examinations
before rendering a decision on any
subject, Secretary Folger has been
guilty of some fearful blunders since
he has been given charge of the
treasury department. He will not
decide any question of importance
without first rambling through i'm
mense masses of law books and legal
opinions, frequently consuming
weeks and even months; so great is
his fear of making mistakes. His
hardness in appointing new chief
for the bureau of engraving and
printing, and in deciding the requisite
amount of duty on certain imported
articles which landed in New York
are recent examples of his slowness
and indecision. Foiger
MAY BE A GREAT MAN.
But as yet he has not shown himself
to be so. Anyway the country would
like to see him work a little faster
especially when his long c0nsidera-
ton is productive of so little good.

all of the nickel pieces of the denomi-
nation of three cents issued since

Deep Flowing: Useful and Injurious.

Mr.. Orange Judd discusses the SUBJ
ject of blowing in the American
Agriculturist for April, and among
other things says the following:
The suns warmth greatly assists
the preparation of the food material
collected by the leaves, adapting it for
plant nourishment. We speak of
warm growing weather" But while
the hot sun rapidly increases the
preparation of plant food, it dries off
the sap faster from the leaves, and
also the moisture from the surface
soil, so that the roots can not get a
full supply. In both these ways
the sap-the life blood of the
plant - is diminished, and for
want of this the food distribu-
ton of growth is lessened, and fire.
quently is stopped altogether. The
leaves curl, the plants droop, often
dying out after few hot days. This
is especially the case on shallow soils,
and on prairie land which, by reason
of its dark color, abSorbS more of the
SUMS heat than those of lighter color.
Owing to the loose texture of such
soils they bring up moisture from be-
low much less rapidly than fine, COM
pact loans and clays.
Is it not plain then, that if soil is
plowed deep and made fine, so that
air will penetrate deeply, and the
plant roots he thus invited well be-
low the surface, out of the suns reach
even in drouth, which seldom
dries more than two to four inches
deep, the plants having such roots
will be always supplied with the
needed sap, and the growth will pro-
coed rapidly even in the dryest days.
Hence, as rule, deep blowing and
working of the soil are highly advan-
tageous,
But not always. The porous prai-
RE soils are usually in fair condition
a foot deep or more; the air has cir
culated through them, destroying
deleterious acids, poisonous salts, etc.
On heavier soils, SO compact that the
air has never circulated below the
immediate surface, the SUI 0soil may
be actually filled with poisonous sub
stances. We know that earth brought
up in digging wells and deep bitches
will seldom support vegetable life, for
a year or two at least. TOrun a plow
down into such soil three or four
inches below the previously stirred
surface, and turn up heavy layer of
it, may actually kill the first crop
Sown or planted.
The right way with such soils is to
go down an inch or two Annually,
and bring up a little new soil each
time, but not enough to materially
harm the growing crops. In this way
we may in time secure a healthful,
porous, aerated, deep plant bed, that
will furnish abundant moisture in
the hottest season, besides providing
new supplies of inorganic food need
ed for the best growth of crops.
