giflricuUural- THE POTATO. It is perhaps not generally known that! in the potato there are two parts, which if | separated and planted at the same time, j one will produce tubers lit for the table i eight or ten days earlier than the other.— 1 This fact has fallen under my own obser vation, and is the plan 1 now pursue in or der to obtain an early supply for my table fine and very mealy. The apex or small end of the potato, which is generally full of eyes, is that part which produces the ear liest—the middle or body of the potato pro duces later, and always largo ones. The butt or navel ends is worthless, except for feeding stock, and if planted produces very indifferent small ones, and often none at all, the eyes, if any, being imperfectly formed. The potatoe being cut two weeks before planted, and spread on a floor, that the wounds may heal, separating the small end from the middle, then cutting off the navel or butt, the body or middle of the potatoe is then divided into two pieces lengthwise, ta king care to have always the largest and finest selected, being convinced that if none but large potatoes are planted, large ones will again be produced ; small things pro duce small tilings again, and therefore no small potatoesshouldbe planted ; this prac tice is too prevalent, and may account for the many varieties and small potatoes met with in our markets. Who would not pre fer a large mealy potatoe to a small one, that will take hours to boil soft, and then may only be fit to feed the cattle with ? For several years past I have adopted the plan of putting potatoes into the ground late in the fall, covering them with manure sometimes with tanner’s waste bark, and always have succeeded in raising a fine early crop. Last fall 1 had taken up some as fine and large Mercer potatoes as any one could wish ; they were covered with tan six inches thick the preceding fall ; ma ny weighed sixteen ounces. No particular care or attention was bestowed upon them through the summer, the tan not permitting any weeds to trouble them, or to draw out the nourishment from the earth, they had therefore all the benefit of the soil, kept moist and clean by the tan, for tan will keep the ground moist and clean, and in an im proved state, in the driest season. 1 have found the great advantage of it to my aspa ragus and strawberry beds, which arc an nually covered with it.— Farmers’ Cabinet. From the American Agriculturist. TO GUARD SHEEP FROM BEING KILLED BY DOGS. Perhaps one of the greatest obstacles to the keeping of Sheep, have been the savage destruction made among them bv worthless curs kept throughout our country, for no other reason that we could ever imagine, than to gratify the fancy of their owners. If these animals were kept constantly chain ed up where they could do no harm, no fault would be found ; but when suffered to run at large and become public destroyers, it is quite another affair, and we hold every one justifiable, nay, a positive duty on their parts, to shoct all dog-prowlers, without a ny more hesitation than they would a mad wolf. The importation of the large Spanish shepherd-dog has been recommended, as he will invariably attack and kill any dog that approaches his flock, but this would be an expensive and troublesome measure, and it would take a long while to breed a suffi cient number of them here, before they could become generally effectual. During our recent visit to Kentucky, we learned a very simple, and at the same time profita ble way of guarding sheep, which is this : Put a few cows, with their sucking calves, in the same pasture with the flock, 5 would probably be enough for several hundred sheep, to which add five active three year old steers, and as many more two year olds. Take a gentle dog into the field, with a long light cord about his neck, the end held in the persons hand accompanying it, to keep him in check, and then set him on the sheep. The cows, thinking of their off spring, will immediately advance to head the dog and guard the calves, the steers will follow their example, and the sheep retreat behind them. Thus continue a few times, till the steers are well broke in, when the cows can be taken away, and they will inevitably gore any dog to death that dare persist in attacking the flock. However brave a dog may be in odier matters, the moment he attacks sheep, he seems to be conscious of the ignominy, of it, and as if conscience stricken, become a coward, and will run at the slightest approach front oth er animals. When steers arrive at the age of 4 years, it is generally requisite to remove them to better pasture than is required for sheep, for the purpose of fatting, or they are want ing for the yoke. But just before this is done, add as many two year olds as you wish to remove of the older ones, and tho three year olds left, will soon break in the young ones, and so the system can be an nually kept up as long as requisite. For these guards, we would recommend a small active race of animals, with sharp horns, as they would more effectually gore and toss a dog, and it will require a small active animal to support itself on feed, that is generally as short as sheep pastures u sually are. The hardy red cattle of New- England would be admirable for this pur pose, or indeed any active native animals, those chosen from the hilly or mountainous districts would bo best, as more fleef and pugnacious when required. We are told by hunters, that it is thus the wild buffalo protects himself, on the vast plains of the West, from the attacks of savage bands of wolves, and they not unfrcquently atford I protection to whole herds of deer. Mr. I Hart, of Kentucky, defended the deer in his | park by the elk, a single puir of which, | would be sufficient to guard hundreds of] them, as they would run down the fiercest 1 j dog in a few minutes, and cut him iu two i i by perhaps a single stroke of the sharp hoofs | of their fore-feet. From the Yankee Farmer. STIR THE EARTH OFTEN. It is necessary to stir the earth often a- ] | mong vegetables, not only for the purpose j of keeping down the weeds but the purpose | of keeping it loose for the passage of the ■ roots, for the admission of the air and water ! and to form finely pulverized soil on top as j a protection against drought. When the j earth is hard the water time of rain will run 1 off from some places, when a mellow soil j on top would readily imbibe it. In some cases we have observed that nf ! ter a powerful rain, where the ground was hard it was not wet down half an inch while it was thoroughly wet where the sur face was loose and fine. In dry weather the advantages of frequently stirring the soil are equally’ great ; it prevents in a measure, the evaporation of the moisture, as loose earth will not conduct off the mois ture, so readily as close earth. We are aware that some persons will say “it is a poor rule that will not work both ways,” and if loose earth readily ab sorbs the rain it will allow the escape of moisture, but this is not the case as experi ments plainly prove ; we must be governed by facts that are well established, though there may be a seeming inconsistency from our not understanding the operations of na ture. Water falls down by its own weight and will readily sink into the loose earth, run ning down between the particles ; but if the ground be close and bard, and very’ dry, it will run olf, barely wetting the sur face. The dry ness, which at a first would lead one to suppose that it would at once imbibe the water, serves only to repel it. This peculiar property of every dry sub stance is shown by throwing water on a floor where there is much dry dust. It will remain in large drops, and be blown a bout over the floor as the dry dust repels j the drops and prevents their spreading. The evaporation of moisture from the ground is by a very different process in na ture from that of gravitation by which the water falls or tends downwards ; in evapo ration it is drawn up and passes through some medium, first through the top of the earth and then through the air. Fine parti- I cles of earth are a poor medium for con ! ducting off the moisture under the surface | while it readily passes off through a close, I hard body ofearth. This fact will appear j evident to any one, who, in a dry time ex- I amines the state of the soil as to moisture; j below the fine loose earth that is often stir ] red, and that the hard earth in the path or j piace beside, it, that has long remained un | moved. Many experiments have been made by ! hoeing frequently in a very dry time, part of a piece of land on which corn or other vegetables were growing, & leaving a part; and it lias been found that the crops suffered much less from drought where the earth was oftened stirred. Writers on the advantages of frequent hoeing attributes its valuable effects, in this respect, to the dews penetrating more readi ly the fine earth, and passing to the roots of plants, but this opinion is erroneous, for a heavy dew will penetrate the fine earth but little; it will lay mostly on the top and soon evaporate when the sun shines upon it. In this country the dews are too light to penetrate to the roots of the plants, as they do not go so deep. The great object is to retain the moisture in the earth, and prepare the surface to receive and convey the rains | directly downward, even when they come j suddenly, in plentiful showers, and this is I done most effectually by stirring the earth frequently and finely. | Some farmers hoe their corn only twice, ] except they cut up the weeds after the hay ling season is over to prevent their produ i cing seed. Others use a light horse har ! row and stir the earth frequently, thinking ! there is a great advantage in this method] j that will well repay the expense, which is j | buttrifling where the ground is light and free from obstructions. THE IIORSE. The horse knoweth his owner, and much more. lie knows more than many of the two-legged animals who ride on horse-back, and I am sure there is more of the spirit of Christianity in his practice than is to bo found in many of the bipeds aforesaid ; for the horse, especially the carman’s, rests on the Sabbath, whereas his rider often works harder for the devil on that day than he does for food to keep his soul and body together on any day in the week. Besides, the horse will caress the hand that feeds him ; but thousands of his riders thank not God, in whom they live, and move, and have their being. To illustrate my position let me give a few anecdotes of this beautiful and friendly animal. Os a two-horse team belonging to the Earl of , near Oxford, one was very vicious, the other quite the reverse. In the stall next to the gentle horse, stood one that was blind. In the morning when the horses, about twenty of them were turned out to pasture, the good tempered creature constantly took his blind friend under his protection. When he strayed from his companions, his kind friend would run neighing after and smell around him, and when recognized they would walk side and side, until the blind friend was led to the best grass in the field. God, speaking to Job, asks him : ‘ Hast thou given the horse strength ? Has thou clothed his neck with thunder ? He mock eth at evil fear, and is affrighted ; neither turneth he back from the sword.’ Shortly after that mighty battle which closed the career of Bonaparte, and at the disbanding of part of the British army, the remains of a troop of horse belonging to the Scotch Greys, were brought to the hammer. The Captain being rich and a man of feeling, was loth to see those noble fellows turned into butcher, baker, or beer-house drugs, | after helping to drive the French from ! i Spain, lie therefore bought the whole lot, i and set them loose in one of It is fine grass ! parks, to pass away their old age in peace. ! One warm summer evening, when it was just dark enough to render the light visi ! hie, a vivid flush was followed by a loud j report of thunder. At this moment the j horses were grazing leisurely, but seeing j the blaze, and hearing the report, they thought a battle had begun. In a minute they wore in the centre of the field, all drawn up in line, their beautiful ears quiv ering with anxiety like the leaf of the pop lar trembling in the breeze, listening for the word of the rider to lead them to the charge. ! M y informant, who was an eye-witness to this wonderful scene, told me lie had often seen these horses. English paper. DREAM The Medora. —The man who professes to be a believer in dreams and other extra ordinary auguries of coming .events, is sure to be regarded by ninetenths of mankind as j a simpleton, if not a stark idiot; yet that the l most calamitous events have often been in dicated by such premonitions, is an indispu table fact ; and it is equally certain that such events have in some cases been con trolled by a strict attention to the warnings thus mysteriously given. It is unnecessa ry for us to specify instances ofsuch warn ings, as they must be familiar to most rea ders of historical records. But there is one connected with the recent melancholy event of the blowing up of the Medora, which remains to be recorded, and which we class among the most remarkable which have fallen within our notice.— ! Three weeks before it occurred, the sad ca tastrophe was distinctly represented to the mate ofthe Jewess, (one ofthe line of steam ers for which the Medora was intended.) He saw her making trial of her machinery; saw her blow up, saw the hapless victims of I the explosion in the water around her, strug . gling for life—saw the boat sink, and i ! dentified Capt. Sutton (her commander) 1 clad in a white dress. He told his dream ! afterwards; and was laughed at! The i Jewess, it will be remembered, left here for Baltimore on Thursday night, (after the ex plosion) and passed in the bay, the next morning the Steamer Georgia, on her way down to Norfolk, and when preceiving the ] G.’s flags half mast, he exclaimed in a tone | of grief “There! my dream is out —the Me- | j dora is blown up!” The boats passed each | ! other too far asunder to hail, and it was not i | known to those on board the Jewess until ! her arrival at Baltimore, that such was in i deed the melancholy fact. Norfolk Herald. In making some alterations in a building ! in New-York, a few days since, a mouse’s | nest was discovered composed of bank | notes, amounting to $300,000. It was 1 thought to be a prize, but on examination i the notes proved to be from the plate of Ja j cob Barker’s old Marble Bank, and without ’ his signature.
