The writer of this has a 1 square of very fine cabbage in his garden. : and shortly after the wet-spelT of weather j the last month commenced, the worms be gan to play havoc amongst them. Pennv- j royal was gathered, and scattered plenti fully over the cabbage heads, and the work I of destruction ceased. Ido not know who- < ther this is anew remedy or not ; it is a> very simple and effectual'one*—at least it has proved effectual with me, and 1 would’ recommend others to try it. From the Farmer’s Register. METHOD OP KEEPING SWEET POTATOES. Some time last fall, as well as I now re- ! collect one of your Virginia correspondents i asking for information on the subject of keep- j ing sweet, potatoes through the winter ; and perhaps the writer was desirous to obtain Virginia practice ; but if our Georgia plan should not be altogether applicable to your region, (I know of no reason why it should not be,) may derive | some useful hints therefrom ; and though ll give our plan too lato for any practical use the present season, it will, if at all, l>e of I service the coming one. There are various j inodes adopted in Georgia for saving pota toes, but as the one I practice,, in common! with many others, has always been so suc cessful, I shall describe that only. As j soon as the frost slightly.effects the potatoe j vines in the falta(about the middle of Oeto- I ber here,) I begin to make preparations for d'oß' n g > al *d by the time the vines become thoroughly killed, I am prepared for the harvest. I select an elevated piece of ground and throwing up circular mounds, or hills, twelve or fifteen inches above the common [ surface, the diameter of which should be a bout ten feet, to contain sixty bushels of po tatoes. The situation and! elevation of hills I are objects of importance, to prevent the j possibility of the potatoes getting wet. In I order to make the potatoes lie on the hill the better, the edges should bo somewhat elevated by drawing the earth from the cen tre, giving it slightly the appearance of a bowl. Common pine heart, hoards are now placed on the earth radiating from the cen tre to the circumference of the hill; and on these a layer one foot, thick of dry pine leaves. The hill being now ready to re ceive the potatoes, I select dry, mild wea ther, commence digging in the morning and stop time enough in the afternoon to haul up all during the day ; for if left out at night, the frost, if any, would injure them. If possible, the hills should be filled and completed the same day, but if'not, thepo tatoes should be well covered with straw to protect them at night, and uncovered next mornings When the pile becomes two or three feet high, place a pole'horizontally across,, of sufficient length to pass entirely through the hill. A better ventilator would be an oblong box, four or five inches square, with several auger holes in it. The pota toes may now be put on, till the pile is about five feet high, and left in a conical form. Next, procure dry leaves and lay them all over the potatoes, at least six inches thick. Pine heart boards like those used! at the bot tom of the potatoes, are now placed over the straw, and a covering of earth six or eight inches thick, is put over the whole, and patted smooth w ith.a spade.. A small aperture should be left at the top of the hill, to assist in ventilation ; or a short oblong box may be inserted! down to the potatoes, and the earth drawn nicely up ta it. If a pole is used as the horizontal ventilator, the earth should be remove! from below it, where it projects from the hill. All the ap ertures should be left open, fora few days after the operation is finished, and then on ly closed during severe weather, with a handful of pine leaves. Sheltersshould be erected over the hills to exclude the rain entirely. I consider it important to per form the whole business in drv weather. Columbus, Ca. I‘. C. fl.
