Some Ideas on Sweet-Potato Culture,

This is one of our peculiar Southern
products that is not properly ap-
preciated. We are prone 10 follow
after Northern or foreign practices and
adopt their special crops for special
purposes. when we have better nj
home. English and Northern farmers
grow turnips for stock because theia
climate is suited 10 turnips and not
suited to sweet potatoes. They also
grow Irish potatoes because they can
grow them more successfully than the
sweet potatoes. The sweet potato, as
known in the South, is a boon that is
denied them. Turnips and Irish pota.
toes are not TO be compared with
sweet potatoes in respect TO ease and
cheapness Of production. nutritiveness
and general adaptation as table and
stock food.
Nothing is gained by very carly bed
ding or planting. The potato is
strictly tropical plant, and must have
warm weather from first to last. Re-
solve to plant larger field than usual,
a I'd bed accordingly.
The best potato growers, at the final
planting of the draws, give distan CO
OF about four feet by-twenty inches.
THIS would require 442 plants to sci
one acre; and to produce this mum bel
OF plants from six 10 eigh bushels q
seed potatoes should be bedded. Small
potatoes are to be preferred fol
the plant bed. especially those that
were made from the cut vines lasi
year. A potato is NOT Il true seed, bul

it is not even root, as it does not
take nourishment from the soil direct.
ly, but through the stem attachment.
A small potato will make nearly rs
many draws as large one, and many
more of them may be placed in bed.
For bedding select asunny exposure.

New York is the largest and deep
est waterway penetrating the Atlantic
coast of North America. Sixty miles
from its mouth at the junction of the
Mattapony and Pamunkey, the two
rivers which form it, it is forty feet
deep. and opening down toward its
mouth, approaching the Chesapeake
bay and the capes, it is largely over a
hundred feet deep. The river is really
an arm of the sea.
A Maine fur dealer says that it is
astonishing the uses to which musk
rats fur are put. The skins are taken
at the city establishments, clipped. col
ored and put into such shape that they
very closely resemble otter, and, if not
sold for that. are at least represented
to be much better than they really are.
The fur is never sold for what it really
is, but is fixed up to look like something
FINER and charged for accordingly.
Two brothers in Cambridge, Me-,
were inveterate checker players, and
one of them always wanted to bet on
each game. The elder had scruples
against gambling, but one morning
when the old folks left home to be gone
all day he told his brother he'd bet with
him. The boys spent the day at the
checker board, and when the parents
came home the younger son had lost
all his pocket money, all his knick.
knacks, and six sheep which he had
owned. The older brother refused to
give back the winnings, and the
younger hasn't been anxioEs to gamble
since.

man, how did you find that out, when
did ga great many republicans 50 in-
form YOU? We have heretofore an
swered the above question, but for the
Freemans satisfaction viii answer again.
The HERALD belongs to no party,
but to Korns & Dague, who affiliate
with the Republican party especially
the progressive, anti-monopoly element
of that party. The HERALD while pre-
fering the Republican to any other PO-
! Ttical organization, has not hesitated
to criticize it, and has found things IN
! other parties which it could and does
endorse. We are progressive or re-
form republicans of the independent
stripe, and we are rejOiced TO see the
many, very many evidences all along
the line that the great, intelligent, he-
publican masses are moving forward &,
| are preparing to grapple with and sat
isfactorily solve the new questions now
before the people. The Freeman
seems to think that a newspaper must
belong to some party, and its duty
is to swear that its party can do no
wrong and that all other parties are
consposed of rascals. The HERALD
does not 90 on that theory. Our mot
to is O. Country first, party afterwards

cord honesty OF purpose to many whC
are in the ranks of opposing politica
parties, and all close readers OF tint
d HERALD know that we have often ant

. to work no within the ranks Of Uhei
= respective parties all the temperate
sentiment and all the anti mOnOpol
sentiment possible. This course make
the Freeman mad and it is plain to b
s seen that the reason why it is so angr
n with US is because it has been SO lon
~ preaching that its little political part
n, has "a monopoly OF all the good thing
&c and that all republicans are trickster
% and rascals generally, and that
Id republican has no right to favor an
OF the good measures the Freeman pat
v fesses to be in favor of. The editor

We Freeman is making all the noise it CT
an to divert attention from the prediC
