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.

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.

be in foal. Any person putting by the insurance
who do not attend regularly, or who may trade or
transfer the mare, will be required to pay the
full price of insurance.

Pedigree.—Master Solomon was bred by Phil
more, in 1836, sired by Reveller ; his dam by
Lord Barners, Lord Barners by Jupiter; Jupiter
out of Brambush, Brambush by Teddy ihe Grind
er ; her dam by Princess, by Sir Peter ; Dun
ganon by Turf, llerod, &c.; Jupiter by Whis
key, out of Jenny the Spinner, by Dragon ; her
dam by Mate hem, &c. Reveller, by Comus;

Zuberose ; Zuberose by Herod, &c. Comus by
Sorcerer, his dam by Sir Peter, Highflyer, &c.,
Sorcerer by Trumpeter; Trumpeter by Conduc
tor, and he by Matchem.
This is enough to satisfy all men who have
made themselves acquainted with the Pedigrees
of English blooded Horses, that the Master Sol
omon is as fine a blooded Horse as ever crossed
the Atlantic. Solomon has never run any Races
as he was injured in his left fore leg in coming
out of the vessel, which mark is there to be seen
Solomon has now with him a two years’ old Colt,
of his own get, which is thought by all who have
seen him, that he cannot be surpassed by any of
his age. The Master Solomon was imported
from England to America in 1838, by James
Stow, of Virginia.
