The Sw'et Put it<>« Best Mode of Culture. 1
The Irish potato, though more general in its
use and cultivnt'on, s fai from equaling in j
flavor and delicacy this favorite production of j
the South.
tndoed, eaten with fresh hotter troni the
churn and pure sweet milk as an addenda, it j
constitutes a desert fit for the. repast of a king. |
Numerous varieties of this valuable esculent |
abound. Among those may he enumerated the
white yam, pumpkin Spanish, white Spanish,
buck potato with red skin and yellow heart,
early red with white heart, brimstone, yellow
in and out, nnd red negro killar.
Os these the white yam and pumpkin Span*
ish keep the best, while the negro killer and
buck arc the most prolific, especially on poor
land.
The leaf and vine of the negro killer are very
large, and tha "slip,” from its toughness, easy
Os propagation. On the contrary, the early red
bears a very small vine with a scolloped leaf,
and can be raised to perfection by the 4th of
July. It is very dry and mealv in substance,
and is said to boa highly nutritious and inoo-
C :nt food for children.
On the whole, for market and table purposes
wo prefer the yam, which, when fully matured
and proporly baked, is almost covered with the
augar or syrup which exudes from-the surface
during tha cooking process.
In planting the sweet potato, it may not be
generally known that the eyes are chiefly clus
tered together at the two ends of each tuber.
The practice of'cutting theso off, therefore,
before bedding or planting is very detrimental
Experience proves that but few of the eyes
germinato save those at the end, 1 his can he
shown by planting the centres of the potato in
a patch to themselves. .
We cannot pause now to debate the rationale
of this truism.
It may be laid down as an axiom in sweet
potato culture, that a soil thoroughly pulver
ised and enriched, is a prerequisite to success.
To this we may add the necessity of keeping
the plants entirely free from weeds and grass,
at every stage of their growth. Corn and
cotton may languish and recover for want of
work, but the sweet potato never. The very
process of removing the grass by the hoe or
hand breaks off thousands 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 man
ured broadcast with stable scraping or cotton
seed during the winter, and then thoroughly
subsoiled and broken up.
If bedding is to be resorted to, the potatoes
can bo placed in ohloug beds about four feet
wide without cutting and nearly touching each
Other, early in February.
After setting them thus, cover four inches
deep with warm stable manure, and finish off
with moist earth. The beds shonld bo protect
ed by a southern exposure and the means be
kept at hand for covering them when frost is
expected.
If the season bo dry they should be occasion
ally watered to expedite ’tho early sprouting
of the tubers.
When propagated from the potato cdtting t
planting should be delayed until the latter part
of March, to prevent dry rot during the slow
process of germination. The method may be
thus briefly described :
Upon rids*- f -»t nnort "><”** f un enh , er
hoe or plow, trench deeply, and deposit the
potato, cut in two pieces only, at intervals of
eight inches. Then add a coverin' of well
rotted stable or lot manure, or killed cotton
aeed, and cover deep to insure moisture.
The great enemy to a Stand is dry rot nnd
the mischievous crow—though the latter pest
is chiefly confined to the sea board. If the
high March winds displace the light soil, or
dry the earth down to the cutting, the potato
will perish and never coma 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
the drawer pulled from the hot bed, is the most
certain and least troublesome method of pro-
pagation.
The cultivation in both instance* is the same
though the sprouts, when dipped in thick mush
made of water and well-iotted manure, which
adhores to the roots, can be transplanted in al«
most any Reason. Very wot weather followed
by hot sun, is more fatal to the 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 destroying all grass and weeds be
fore they tako root.
About the middle of Juno another crop of
potatoes can be raised from the same vine, by
the use of long or short slips. In the former,
after thorough preparation and the formation
of ridges, the tops of which are reduced to a
smooth level, let two or three vines be laid side
by side, so as to touch the ground at all
points.
Then, at twelve or fifteen inches interval
cover them will) several hoefula of earth, and
pack firmly. This will leave several inches of
the vine exposed between each of these hills,
from which shoots and sprouts put forth, which
very soon cover the whole surface. Under these
hills the tnbers aro formed in great abundance
from the little threads which shoot from the
covered joints of the vine.
When short slips are used, these in lengths
of 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 suffi
cient in the cultivation of the slip crop.
It is a curious but well authenticated fact,
that tubers grown direct from the cutting, are
only fit for fall use. They cannot be preserved
through the winter. Those on the other hand
reared from the drawer and slip, can be kept
under favorable circumstances for twelve
months.
It should he remarked also that upon no
other crop is a top dressing of manure during
its growth more beneficial a-id salutary in its
effects.
Os the harvesting of the sweet potato, and
its preservation and value as food for gtock, we
propose to treat in a subsequent number.—

iiany years tLo xrriter of these lines and an invalid physician, while visiting tha
Island of St. Crain for their health, experienced and witnessed many surprising and
beneficial effects of the Rum there produced upon many of the invalids who were (like
ourselves) seeking health; and, upon inquiry and investigation, obtained a full history
of its medicinal virtues. He was delighted and surprised, and after his own recovery,
which soon occurred, determined, if possible, to procure the solo right to manufacture
and soli It in the United States.
The result cf his labors was a glorious success for himself and suffering humanity,
for the celebrated PLANTATION BITT2P.S was thus made known to the world. PLAN
TATION BITTERS being an article of real merit, founded upon new principles, and
retying wholly upon the v*otabls world for its medicinal effects, worked a rapid revolu
tion ia the history of medicine, and became as a household word all over the civilized
world. The cabalistic S. T.—lß6o—Z. was a talisman cf health, and the demand for
the PLANTATION SITTERS soon far exceeded the abilities of the proprietors to supply.
Notwithstanding tho large importation of St. Crois F.um, made expressly for the com
pounding cf those Litters, the quantity was inadequate. It therefore became necessary
that arrangements upon an extensive scale abroad should at once bo made, and an agent
was dispatched to St. Thomas for that purpose. Ho was fortunato in securing and
leasing several plantations cn some of the largest and most productive estates on the
island. Houses, stills and presses were erected as if by magic, which utterly “aston
uned u.i natives.” Tho services of experienced men and natives cf the island were pro
cured,.and very soon tho proprietors of the PLANTATION BITTERS were in a position
to supply their laboratory with all the perfectly pure St. Crois Rum needed in manufac
turing the CHEAT DYSPEPTIC TONIC AND INVIf! ORATOR. Tho above cut represents
tho natives crushing tho sugar-cane and otherwise preparing it for the stills and presses,
i*' to Paver and Ague, Intermittent and ’Marions Pavers, Dyspepsia, and
rt i-r En&fcd leases, tho *so of the PLANTATION BITTERS is unsurpassed in tha
h-ctnry cf ;ho vend. Over Eve million battles are d-.nsosed of annually. They are

TESTIMONIALS :
IV e sel- ct the folio > ing ex tracts for the Djd
of those who have net u -ed Rhodes’ “Stamiirf
.Manures:
S. Wyatt., Esq., of ARingtoo Plantation, m
Wayn sl'Oro, (.a,, writes as follows to Mein
B. M.Rlmd, s & Cos.,
“Y'oor Phosphate' I am highly delighted witi
I gave.it a fair trial along with several ttk
■-tan lard Manures, and 1 regard it fully equall
not superior to the best of them. On one fid
of 100 acres, that I am sure would not, ini
natural state, have produced over4Co tt>*.oti(*
cotton to the acre, 1 have already gathered!!!
pounds, and think I shall get fully 200 tbs. nw
“Two other fields of 100 acres, b. tier IstiU
have gathered at two pickings, over I,O0UB»
to the aero of seed cotton, and think 1 shallg«
2UO pounds more.
“I tried it, also on corn, nnd found it v*!
good, but not equal in its results to the coin
crop. Several of n y neighbors, whose I*o
adjoin my own. and is pretty much thews
character of land, who used no fertilizer »t 6
have signally failed, making no more than hi
a crop, if so much as that. Where I
Rhodes’ 1 hoephate the cotton waslieavily fra' l '
bolls lnrgef, (lie staple longer, stouter and M*
than where none was used, so much so thats*’
one, even though he may never have seent”
growth before, could readily see it. The o*t
objection to it is, it causes the cotton to op* 1
faster than we can possibly gather it —at
such is my experience.”
T. C. Howard, Esq., of Darien, Ga, writes* 1
follows: J
“It is prop r that. I should say the result.of'jß
use of y nr fcriilizer have been very
and indeed surprising. ! have made mor.wl'lß
