Planting Irish Potatoes. J.-swcfl
From the Cultivator and Rural (lrat Jem an. 1
A. great diversity of opinion exists on the
subject of planting whole, cutting in large
pieces, and cutting to single eyes, as well as
in relation to the depth and distance for
planting. All admit that planting potatoes
whole, produces a greater number of stalks
and more and smaller potatoes. The only
advantage of employing whole potatoes, is
that they do not dry up so soon when planted
late or in very dry earth. It will rarely
happen that good, well pulverized soil will
be found so dry as to require whole seed.—
Planting in hills both ways may do for weedy
land, as more of the work may be done by
horse cultivation than when in drills or in
rows, but in one direction. The last named
mode, however, will generally yield nearly
doable, as more of the soil is occupied with
the tubers.
The practice of cutting to three or four
eyes, or to a single eye, must depend on cir
cumstances. For ordinary management, or
where the finest culture and best care cannot
be given, pieces with three or four eyes may
bo- planted, twelve to twenty inches apart in
the row. This is the mode now most gener
ally adopted by the better class of cultivators.
But if the soil is in the finest condition, a
larger crop, with more uniformly large pota
toes, may be obtained by adopting the single
eye mode. For this purpose the tnbers should
be of fair size, and bn cat some days before
planting, so as to form a tbin, dry ernst on
the cut surface before depositing in the
ground. Some cultivators regard it as im
portant to roll the pieces in slacked lime or
plaster, while others entirely disregard it.—
Wo are unable to say what amount or value
the practice possesses. The distance should
not exceed eight or ten inches in the row,
bnt may vary with the character of the varie
ty, for spreading at the top and at the roots
—some varieties forming more compact
masses of tubers than others.
There is another point upon which opinions
differ—namely, the influence of the size of
the seed. It is commonly believed that small
potatoes reproduce small ones, and that the
crop is smaller than from large potatoes.—
This opinion is partly correct and partly er
roneous. When small potatoes are planted, I
culls are commonly used to finish oat vacan
cies and spare pieces of ground, which re
ceive less care than the better and earlier
planted portions of the crop. Again, small
potatoes are oftener planted whole, yielding
nnmerous stems and tubers at the expense of
quantity. Hence the common opinion that
small potatoes reprodace small ones. The
trnth is, that the tnbers are strictly under
ground swollen stems, the eyes being the
buds; and largo ones tend no more to re
produce large ones than large sticks used for
grafting will ultimately make the largest
trees, or than small trees set from a nursery 1
will never spread out and form such bearers
as large nursery trees.
When the Inrgc and small potatoes are eat
alike, with tic same number ol eyes, and
planted in fine mellow earth, at a proper
depth, where the moisture is sufficient to im-J
part vigor to both without drying, the dif
ference in the size of the potatoes yielded will
be scarcely perceptible. This experiment we
have repeatedly performed, and it accords
with many reported results, where the above
mentioned precautions are taken. There is
generally, however, a difference in favor of
the larger seed, ascertained by careful mea
suring, and resulting, doubtless, from the
greater vigor at the outset given to tbe yonng
plants by the larger quantity of nutriment in
the pieces. This difference, small as it is,
and generally imperceptible to tbe eye, is,
however, sufficient to amount to several, and
sometimes many bushels per acre—sufficient
to warrant the selection of good medium
sized potatoes for seed.
Two inches, or two and a half inches in
diameter is a suitable size. If much larger,
they are little or no better, although requir
ing a large additional amount of seed per
acre. For example—a potato three inches in
diameter contains more than three times tbe
bulk of one two inches in diameter, and
twenty-seven times tbe bulk of one an inch
in diameter. A large potato, measuring four
inches, will be sixty-fonr times the balk of
one measuring bnt an inch, and consequently
sixty-four bushels of the larger potatoes
would be required to afford as many eyes or
stems as would be found in a single bnsbel
of inch potatoes.
The tuber resembles the graft or shoot in
another respect. The eyes at or near what is
termed the root end arc smaller and more
dormant than those at the eye end, in pre
cisely the same way that tbe lower bods of a
shoot on a tree are smaller, and are more
tardy in breaking than the npper buds, while
the terminal bad, like tbe terminal bnds of
tbe potato, is larger, and breaks sooner or
more freely than any other. It is for tbis
reason that those who raise potatoes for early
market cat off the eye ends and keep them
in a separate bosket for early planting—re
serving tbe rest for the main crop, and re
jecting tbe root end altogether.
song and legend, the Guadalquivir, lies an
old Spanish town founded more than two
thousand years ago by the Romans. To the
Spaniard it is known by the name, of Jerez,
to the French by the name of Xeres; to the
Americana, English and the world generally,
it is familiar as the headquarters and depot
for the famous Sherry TVine. The Spaniards
declare that no Englishman or American has
ever been able to properly pronounce “Jerez,”
and certainly it is impossible to give on pa
per an idea of the name as it sounds lading
from a native tongue. O’Shea, in- bis guide
book, attempts it thus: “Chgberris,” but it
gives a poor if any idea. Foreigners, jjj;etier-
ally, therefore, make an abortive attempt and
say “Harrez,” or more wisely call it “the
sherry place.”

A Wonderful Valley.
From the Santa Clara, Cal, ArttueA
When the good old Friars, the pious dis-
ciples'of fit. Francis, pitched their missionj
ary tents in this charming Valley, they mani
fested a degree ot sagacity truly surprising..
There is, probably, not another spot on this
planet which can furnish as many natural
adjuncts for a prosperous and refined comma!
niry as the Valley of Santa Clara.' TlYelanas
are level, expansive and marvelously fertile.

The Wheat Chop.—Our exchanges from
East TeDnes3ae give gratifying accounts ot
tbe prospect of the coming wheat crop in
their sections. The wheat throughout Lee,
Scott, and Washington counties, Virginia,
looks only tolerable.—Bristol Netot,
We understand that the wheat crop of
Caswell Is looking finely. We saw a gentle
man who had recently travelled over a large
•portion of Pittsylvania and Halifax counties,
and he reports the prospect in those counties
also as fine.—Danville Time*.
The wheat crop east of the Ridge, and also
in the Valley, is looking well. The farmere
have been much delayed in planting com by
the abundance of rain that has fallen within
the past month.
Fine Wheat.—The Wytheville Dispatch
has seen wheat on Dr. Gage’s farm nearly
three feet high, and beading beautifully, the
heads being now nearly two and three-quar
ter inches leng.
J3T"The receipts of grain at Alexandria,
Vo., for tbe past year exceeded one and a
quarter million of bushels, and a large in
crease in receipts is expected this season.

narrow, dirty streets, lined with the low
white-washed houses which compose the
8p*ntfb towns, uutil, crossing a little plaza
or square, we stopped in front of a large and
elegant house. At first we imagined thatour
guide must have mistaken our intentions and
conducted us to the private residence of Sr.
Domesq, instead of his wine vaults; but as
none ot onr party spoke Spanish, we deter
mined to enter and trust to find some one
who coold converse in French or English.—
Passing through the gateway, we entered a
most beautiful court, paved with handsome
black and white marble .tiles, while in the
center were blooming a most lovely collection
of ' flowers. The corridors around the
yard were sopported by most graceful marble
columns, and the whole effect of the court
was to give one an idea of princely wealth
and elegance.
Then np a stairway, into a long, low room,
from tbe lurther end of which a gentleman
advanced and received our letter of introduc
tion. In tbis room, so cool, so quiet, and
contrasting so strangely with the small aod
narrow offices of onr merchant princes, the
vast affairs of this extensive house are con
ducted. To an American, accustomed to the
rush and excitement ot trade, as managed at
home, it seemed strange and ont of place to
enter this qniet room, and expect there to
enter into business discussion and bargains.
We received a most polite and cordial wel
come, and soon were in the streets again,
under the guidance of a servant of the house,
on our way to the wine vaults. 'i'i'-- -
A brisk walk of ten minutes, through dirty,
dusty streets, in some parts so narrow that
botli walls could be touched nt once, and in
which we were obliged to dpdgc every little
while into an open doorway to avoid, a lino
of loaded donkeys who would fill the whole
way, brought ns to the vaults. Our letters
were again presented, this time through a
grated window, and soon the heavy door was
unlocked and we passed into the vaults. It
is necessary to guard the vaults with heavy
holts and bars, for serious consequences might
follow, should n crowd break into them.
One imagines, when speaking of wine
vaults, chambers, deep under ground, (lark
mould. But those of Jerez are of entirely
different character. Sherry will not bear
being kept in ccllors where it is exposed to
moisture and moifid, butfii-.-Mst alwtya be
stored in dry, airy places, where no damp
can reach it. The wine vaults at Jerez, then,
are built on tbis priociple, and consist of
large stone buildings erected on the ground,
perhaps two hundred feet long, one hundred
wide, and from the floor to the centre of the
roof some forty feet high. At the top of the
solid stone walls forming the sides, are nu
merous grated windows, through which a
constant current of air is flowing. In these
rooms, or vaults, stand the long rows of pipes
containing the wine piled three tiers high.—
There the wine remains year after year, evap
orating, concentrating, and, of course, in
creasing in value constantly, until at last it
changes from tbe light-colored, raw sherry,
into a dark, thick, murky-looking wine,
which demands a most fabulous price.
We began with the vaults containing the
lower priced wines, abont three hundred
dollars per pipe, and small glasses of it were
kindly given us. We then passed into
another large vault, were tbe higher priced
wines wore kept, and again samples of the
various kinds were submitted for our exam
ination. First we had a sherry at four hun
dred dollars in gold per pipe, and it cer
tainly was a supeab article. Then came a
dry sherry, at five hundred dollars per pipe,
lint to one with a taste not accustomed to it,
it is generally not as pleasant as the common
sherry. Then came sweet wines, which the
ladies declared delicious, but the gentlemen
disliked. As wc proceeded wo tasted a
sherry of every kind, at six hundred, seven
hundred and fifty, eight hundred and filty
and nine hundred dollars per pipe, bnt being
UDnsed to these rich old wine3 we one and
all preferred the four hundred to the nine
honored dollar sherry.
At last we were conducted to an immense
cask, named “Napoleon,” from which was
drawn a dark murky looking wine, which
seemed as “solid” as a wino could be. Upon
tasting it, we declared it admirable, but it
was a sherry so valuable that no price has
been set on it, because no one would be wil
ling to pay what it is really worth. In 1730
this honse possessed twenty-five casks of wliat
was then known to be at" least twenty-five
years old sherry. From that time to this
they have zealously kept this wiuc, until
from evaporation the quantity lias been re
duced so that it now fills but five casks, and
to-day they exhibit this wine whose value
might be reckoned at so much per drop, to
show what sherry will eventually become
from age and concentration. Let no one
hope ever to taste the best of sherry, unless
he makes a pilgrimage to Jerez, and-drink at
the monster cask “Napoleon.”
The house of Peter Domesq is one of the
oldest of the Jerez firms, and, to-day, I sup
pose stands at the head, judging by the
quality of their wines.' They have no wine
less than two hundred and fifty dollars per
pipe, and none which they recommend under
three hundred. From this their prices range
up to niDehnudred per pipe. All these prices
are of course in gold. They send but little
wine to America, because either owing to the
heavy Custom Honse dues, or an almost total
want of appreciation of good wine on the
part of Americans, the orders come mostly
for cheaper wines than this honse deal in. I
say, mostly, for of course, there are a few
firms in New York and Boston who import a
small amount of really good sherry, but I am
assured by more than one Jerez house, that
they send but little of the higher priced
wines across the water.

tbe west, like wrinkled walls of burnished
emerald, pour down upon the grateful valley
innumerable rivulets, pure a3 the virgin
snows from which they emanate. The west
ern hills are clothed to their summits with
dense forests of red wood, live oak and fir.
The rocks are charged with inexhaustible
mines of cinnabar, copper, iron, antimony,
and other valuable metals. In the same
range are vast beds of marble, granite, lime
stone, gypsum and petroleum. The hills to
the east contain rock alum, copper, platinum,
talc, and probably stone coal.
Two pretty little rivers, the Coyote and
Guadalupe, go dancing to the bay, giving
vigor and beauty by their aqueous benefi
cence. Here, in the midst of this grand amphi
theatre of natural wealth and incomparable
loveliness, the sagacious old MoDks estab
lished the Mission de Santa Clara and Pueblo
de San Jose. The wisdom and forethought
of the Fathers in selecting a location for the
Mission and Pueblo is now manifest to every
body. 'The towns are both a hundred feet
above the level of the sea, and therefore aie
above the possibility of disturbances from
freshets and floods.. San Jose is eight mile3

clay from which-the I rest quality can be
moulded. We are just tar enough from the
coast to catch the sea winds in the modified
form of refreshing breezes.
The coast range serves os a barrier to the
flense ocean fogs. The soil of the valley,
though all remarkably fertile, varies in
quality and positions to the wind and sun
light, so that while the gardener finds the
right locality for vegetable, the vintner can
secure a spot equally well adapted to the
vine. The corn raiser adopts tile heavy
black soil along the 'Guadalupe, while the

Western Ideas of “Fun.”
A Wisconsin paper gives the following
graphic but not flattering illustration of so
ciety in Oshkosh, in the same State: A min
ister from a neighboring town started to go,
one day last week, on a kind of missionary
enterprise. He drove his own- team, and
when within about six miles of the eDd of
his journey, he met a man limping along,
with the blood running down the side of his
face.. The minister asked him if that was
the road to Oshkosh. “Yes; you are on the
right road. I just came from there. I have
been up there having a little fun with
the boys.” About two miles further on
he met another man, one arm in a sling,
one eye badly bururd, and his clothing
in a dilapidated erudition. “How far is
it to Oshkosh J” asked the minister “Only
(Ii-i-c) five miles,” answered the pitiable ob
ject. “Oshkosh is a live town. I’ve been up
there having fun with the boys.” With a
sad heart the minister drove on, falling into
revery on the depravity of man in general,
and the Oshkosians in particular, when he
suddenly came upon a man sitting by the
side of the road. One arm was sprained, one
ear had been bitten off, and, seated by the
side of a puddle of water, he was seeking
relief by bathing the part affected. Tbe
minister was perfectly awe-stricken. Stop
ping his horse he inquired of the man wliat
terrible accident had bafallen him. “O, not
any at all,” faintly responded tbe bleeding
wreck ; “I have only been up to Oshkosh,
having a little fun with the boys.” “I sup
pose yon mean by that tl,at you have been
engaged in some brutalizing fight,” said the
minister. “Yes,” said the man, • “I have
heard that's what they call it .town
at Fond du Lac, where they are civilized;
but they don’t call it by that name up at
Oshkosh. There they call it having a little
fun with the boys.” “What do you suppose
your wife will say when she secs you ?” asked
the reverend gentleman. At this the man
looked up with a sardonic smile. Puttin_
his remaining well hand in a pocket, he
pulled out a piece of nose, a large look of
liair, to which a part of the scalp was at
tached, and a piece of flesh he had bitten
from the cheek of his opponent, and holding
them out for the minister’s inspection,
growled out, “There, what do you suppose
his wife will say when she secs him?” This
was a squelcher. As anxious as tho minister
was to overcome sin anddo good, lie was not
yet prepared to invade the devil’s strong
hold; and, turning’round, he returned home.
The next time he starts on a missionary en
terprise to the frontier of Oshkosh, lie will
take good care not to go alone. He likes
a little fun now and then, but he don’t care

T HE NECESSITY OF HAYING A LARGE AND

and strangers who visit our city. _
They feel satisfied that they have finer Horses,
sounder, stronger and lighter Buggies than are kept
for hire at any other Stable in the South. They can
prove it by applying to them.
Their lots tor the accommodation of Drovers are
large, well secured, well watered and perfectly safe.
We keep always on hand, fine Horses for sale, and
will also cnarge reasonable rates on commission for
disposing of those sent to us.
Those who desire to patronize them in thi3 way will
