Sweet PoiHtuM—Beil Mode of Culture.
The Irish potato, though more gener
al in its use and cultivation, is lar from
equaling in flavor and delicacy, this
favorite production of the South.
Indeed, eaten with butter fresh from
the chum and pure sweet milk as an
addenda, it constitutes a desert fit for
the repast of a king.
Numeious varieties of this valuable
esculent abound. Among these may
be enumerated the white yam, pump
kin Spanish, white Spanish, buck pota
to with ted skin and yellow heart, early
rod with white heart, brimstone, yellow
in and out, and red negro killer.
Of these the while yam and pump
kin Spanish keep the best, while the
negro killer and buck are the most pro
lilic, especially upon poor land.

When short slips are used, these in
lengths about 12 inches are pressed
into the earth with a forked stick about
four inches deep, and eight inches
apart, and take root readily in wet
weather.
One hoeing, plowing and bedding is
sufficient in the cultivation of the slip
crop.
It is a curious but well authenticated
fact, that tubers grown direct fram the
cutting, are only fit for fall use. They
cannot be preserved through the winter.
Those on the other hand reaied from
the drawer and slip, can be kept under
favorable circumstances for twelve
months.
It should he remarked also that upon
another crop is a top dressing of manure
during its growth more beneficial and
sal til ary in its effects.
Of the harvesting of the sweet pota
to, and its preservation and value as
food lor stock, we propose to treat in a
subsequent number.
PREPA RATION OF WHITE WA8H.
Whitewash is one of the most valuable
articles in the world when properly
applied. It prevents not only the de
cay of wood, but conduces greatly to
the healthiness of all buildings, wheth-
j er of wood or stone. Out buildings

not be generally known that the eyes I If desirable, a beautiful cream color
are chic-lly clustered together at the j may be communicated to the above
two ends of each tuber. The practice
of cutting these off, therefore, before
bedding or planting is very detrimental.
Experience proves that but few of the
eyes germinate save those at the end.
This can be shown by planting the cen
tres of the potatoes in a patch to thetn-
seives.
We c onn t pause now to debate the
rationale ot this truism.
It may be laid down as an axiom in
sweet potato culture, that a soil thor
oughly pulverized and enriched, is a
prerequisite success. To this we may
add the necessity of keeping the plants
entirely free from weeds and grass, at
eveiy stage of their growth.
Corn and cotton may languish and
recover for want ot work, but the sweet
potato never. The very process of re
moving the grass by the hoe or hand
breaks off thousand of root-bearing
fibres, and ruins the yield of the crop.
To ensure an abundant harvest, let
the earth be well trampled by stock, or
plentifully manured broadcast with
stable scrapings or cotton seed during
the winter, and then thoroughly sub
soiled and broken up.
If bedding is to be resorted to, the
potatoes cun be placed in oblong beds
about four feet wide without cutting
and neatly touching each other, early
in February.
After setting them thus, cover 4 inch
es deep with warm stable manure, find
finish iff with moist earth. The beds
should be protected also by a Southern
exposure and the means be kept at
band for covering when frost is expect
ed.
If the season be dry they should be
occasionally watered to expedite the
early sprouting of the tubes.
When propagated from the potato
cutting, planting should be delayed
until the latter part of March, to pre
vent dry rot during the slow process
of germination. The method may be
thus briefly described :
Upon the ridges four feet apart made
with either plow or hoe, trench deeply,
and deposit the potato cut in two pieces
only, at intervals of eight inches.—
then add a covering of well rotted sta
ble or lot manure, or killed cotton seed,
and covet deep to insure moisture.
The great enemy to a stand is dry rot
and the mischievous crow—though the
latter pes* is chiefly confined to the
seaboard, if the high March winds
displace the light soil, or dry earth
down to the cutting, the potato will
perish and never come to the surface.
A good plan, therefore, is to cover very
deep, and then scrape off’ and break
the crust about the time the plants
make their appearance.
Experience would indicate,however,
that tin: drawer pulled from the hot
bed, is the most certain and least
troublesome method of propagation.
The cultivation in both instances is
the same, though the sprouts, when
dipped in the thick mush made of wa
ter ami well rotted manure, which ad
heres to the roots, can be transplanted
in almost any season. Very wet wea
titer, followed by hoi sun, is mote fatal
to tire plant than drought, when the
above precaution has been taken.
The after culture should consist in
simply drawing earth to the plants
once or twice, and sedulously destroy
ing all g r ass or weeds before they take
root.
About litc middle of June another
crop of potatoes can lie raised from the
same vine, by the use of long or short
'slips. In the former, after thorough
preparation and formation of ridgis,
the tops of which tire reduced to a
smooth level, let two or throe vines be
laid side by side so as to touch the
ground at all points.

For common stone color add four

and will be found much superior, both

Healthy Chickens.—A corres
pondent ot the Rural Netc Yorker says :
The way 1 i cep my fowls in health.
I clean out the house once a week ;
pul wood ashes under the roosts; have
iron basins for them to drink from ;
white-wash inside of hen-house with
hot lime ; pul a little kerosene oil on
the roosts once a month. The main
food is oat* aiul cake of scraps to pick
on. 1 never feed but onfce a day—at
noon, or when I shut them up at four
or five in the afternoon. When they
run out, then give them all they will
eat. In my experience, ihete is no
easier way to get diseased fowls than
to keep them stuffed ; it makes them
lazy, and they won’t work a* much a*
they ought to, to keep them in a healthy
condition. 1 never had any gapes in
chickens. When any fowl begins to
droop, 1 give three large pills of com
mon, hard, yellow soap ; it is the best
thing to cleanse a fowl 1 know of. I
follow it for three days; give them
nothing to eat, and plenty of pure wa
ter to drink. In desperate cases give
a hail tcaspoonful of tincture ol lobelia.
Colic in Horses.—Dr. D. L.
Phnres, of Newtonia, Miss., publishes
the following recipe in the Southern
Cultivator for colic in horses. He
says:
My treatment for the last twenty
years has been a tablespoonful of »«j
vomica, in a gii! each of warm water
and whisky, or other spirits of equal
strength, as a drench. One dose usual
ly cures in ten minutes ; a second nev
er (ails. If no spirits be at hand, double
the quantity of water. If the powder
ed /tux vomica cannot be readily obtain
ed, rasp up a button or two of it and
give. I would nol, however, give
more than two large buttons.
Lice on Chickens.—Sprigs of cedar
scattered about the fowl house, will re
lieve them of this awful pest. Tar in
the chicken trough is a preventive of
disease.
For a Bin isb or Blow.—Apply
hot water a long time with wet cloths.
Beelbiine is an excellent lotion for
both sprains and bruises. A veteran
among horses claims that it will al
most set a joint or heal a fracture.—
Wormwood or tansy lotions are also
good.

DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.
“The life of the flesh is in the Blood,” is a Scrip
tural maxim that science proves to be true. The
people talk of bad blood, as the cause ot many
diseases, and like many popular opinions, this ot
bad blood is founded iu truth.
The symptoms of bad blood are usually quite
bad—bad Digestion—causes imperfect nutrition,
aud consequently the circulation is feeble, the
soft tissues loose their tone and elasticity, and
the tongue becomes pale, broad, and frequently
eovered with a pasty, white coat. This condition
soon shows itself in roughness of the skin, then in
eruptive and DI.CEBAT1VE diseases, and when
long continued, results in serious lesions of the
Brain, Liver, Lungs, or urinary apparatus. Much
very much, suffering is caused by impure blood.
It is estimated by some, that one fifth of the hu
man family are affected with scrofula iu some
foim.
When the Blood is pure, yon are not so liable
to any dise-ise. Many impurities of the Blood
arise from impure diseases of largo cities. Erad
icate every impurity from the fountain ot life, and
good spirits, fair 6kin and vital strength will re
turn to yon.

DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND

Persons unacquainted with the structure and

Regular and sufficient action of the Kidneys is
as important^ nay, even more so, than regularity
of the bowels. The Kidneys remove from the
Blood those effete matters which, if permitted to
remain, would speedily destroy life. A total sus
pension of the urinary discharges will occasion
death from thirty-six to torty-eight hours.
When the Urine is voided iu small quantities
at the time, or when there is a disposition to
Urinate more frequently than natural, or when
tlie Uijfie is high colored or scalding with
weakness in the small of the back, it should not
be trifled with or delayed, but Koskoo should be
taken at once to remedy tlie difficulty, betore a
lesion of the organs takes place. Most of the dis
eases of the Bladder originate from those of tli
Kidneys, the Urine being imperfectly secreted in
the Kidneys, prove irritating to tlie Bladder and
Urinary passages. When we recollect that medi
cine never reaches the Kidneys except through
the general circulation of the Blood, we see how
necessary it is to keep the Fountain of Life Pure.

Almost nine-tentbs of our people suffer from
nervous exhaustion, and are, therefore, liable to
its.concomitant evils of meutal depression, con
fused ideas, softening of the brain, insanity, aud
complete breaking down of the general health.
Thousands are suffering to-day with broken-down
nervous systems, and, unfortunately, tobacco, al
cohol, late hours, over-work, (mental and physi
cal.) are causing diseases of the nervous system
to increase at a fearful ratio
The symptoms to which diseases of the nervous
system give rise, may be stated as follows: A dull,
heavy feeliug in the head, sometimes more or less
severe pain or headache ; Periodical Headache,
Dizziness, Noises or Ringing in the Head : Con
fusion of Ideas ; Temporary Loss of Memory ;
Dejection of Spirits; Starting during Sleep : Bad
Dreams ; Hesitation in Answering Questions ;
Dullness of Hearing ; Twitching of the Face and
Arms, Ac., which, if not promptly treated, lead
to Paralysis, Delirium. Insanity, Impotency, Apo
plexy, &c., Ac.
