Culture and Preservation of the
Sweet Potato
From a letter lying before us, pen
by Rev. John West, of Randolph
county, we gather the following facts,
which are most deserving of publica
tion. Mr. West is an earnest ministef
of the Methodist Church, and in ad
dition to his labors in the field,
preaches every Sabbath. H'e is a man
of excellent sense and spirit, pays
cash for all that he buys, sella meat,
and always has a goodly amount of
corn in his crib. If all Arere fike liim }
what a rac# of pabobs would occupy
the South ?
But hear a statement of his farming
operations the past year, which we
know personally to lie strictly correct,
He says, “I comply with your request
and give the result of my farming last
year, hoping some may be encouraged
therby to feel that we can live with
out free labor. I worked myself, and
also filled my appointments, as a local
minister, having for assistants on the
farm four little boys only, the eldest
but 10, years of age. During the
chopping out season I hired a colored
wojijan nine days, which was all the
putside help I received. With this
force I made and gathered fifteen
bales of cotton, which all classed low
middling, 400 bushels corn, 4,000
pounds of fodder, ten bushels of
wheat, 230 bushels of sweet potatoes,
and picked and threshed out twelve
bushels of field peas.
When you edited the Appeal, I
promised to send you my way of rais
ing and preserving sweet potatoes and
failed to do so. I will give it now, if
you think it worth printing. The
plan I pursue is the result of years of
experience and it seldom fails.
First, in selecting seed, I prefer the
Calfornia Yam for early use, and the
common yam for late digging. A1
ways pick out the largest and smooth
est potatoes for the bed, using as
much care as in the selection of seed
corn. Bed early in the spring in the
warmest and most sheltered spot that
can be found—cover thickly with sta
ble manure, and on washing days let
all the soap suds and dirty water be
sprinkled over the bed about night
fall. This will give the sprouts a vig
orous start and make them grow off
rapidly.
My land being a red clay, I break
up deep by subsoiling, then lay off the
rows three feet and three inches wide,
running twice in the same furrow*, to
make it very deep. Next it is bedded
with a turning plow and the ridges
finished off and made smooth and
round with the hoe. I endeavor to
select land as free jya possible from
grass-seed and weeds. Ridged in this
way the ground remains soft and does
not bake, because the water runs off
from the hills. I never draw dirt to
the potato in cultivating, as it causes
the vine to take root in the sides of
the row, apd every rootlet substracts
nourishment from the parent hill.—
Work flush and keep the plants free
from weeds and grass. The last work
I give my potatoes is, to go over them
with a pitchfork or stick, and loosen
up, and detach the vines from the
earth in the middle of the row, to jire
vent them from taking root. This
will retard their luxuriance, but greatly
increase the size of the potatoes.
Before akillingfrost the crop should
be harvested. In digging, first strip
the vines with a furrow in the mid
dles of the row ; then run a deed fur
row with a long steel shovel in the
centre of the ridge, which will upturn
most of the potatoes. Pick them all
up carefully and follow with two more
furrows, one on each side to complete
the digging. Gather without the use
of the hoc which bruises .and often
cuts the potatoes causing them to rot
afterwards.
In banking, I scrape oft' the soil to
the hard earth, and pile in conical hills
of about twenty-five bushels each;
co\er thickly with corn-stalks, and
throw over a coating of soil six inches
thick, leaving no hole or aperture
whatever for the air to escape. Put
up in this way and sheltered from the
weather, I have never failed to pre
serve them until the next season.
Yours, truly,
John V est.
Chicken Cholera. —The chicken
cholera has proved very fatal in many
sections, and great variety of reme
dies have been recommended. But as
in the case of tuc Asiatic cholera with
the human family, what appears to
cure in one case tails in another. In
Virginia a gill of soot in a gallon of
mush, fed two or three times a week
has been recommended as a preventive.
A tree use ot charcoal about the hen
house is sometimes beneficial. One
tea spoonful of pulverised alum to a
quayt of meal, fed twice a day; an
ounce ot bi sulphate of soda in a gal
lon of w ater ; a piece of assafoetida of
the size of a large pea, put into a pint
of water in a bottle and soaked over
night, then crushed in the morning,
well shaken ana mixed with the food
of a large flock, are among the reme
dies that have proved in some cases
beneficial. We judge from the re
ports we hav9 seen, that alum has
proved more generally beneficial than
any other remedy,— Xew Em,land

From Die Newnan Herald.
To Restore Exhausted Lands.
Mr. Editor-—I have besn engaged
in agriculture to some extent for at
least thirty years past, and what
knowledge I now possess on that sub
ject is experimental, and therefore I
think the most valuable and lasting.
Presuming such to be true, I trust that
I will be pardoned for offering to the
farmers of the South my views in
reference tc the modus opera idi of
resuscitating and enriching their worn
out lands that will not cost more than
one dollar per acre per annum.
The mania, for the use of commer
cial fertilizers amongst our farmers
has increased to such an alarming ex
tent in the last few years, that every
reflecting man must admit, that, with
out a change our lands will lpmain
statu quo , so fur as fertilit yis concerned
It is admitted that a good Commercial
Fertilizer will pay a good profit an
nually on poor land in the increase of
the crop, and which is a gcod invest
ment so far as the prop is estimated,
but it is doubtful, to say the least of
it, whether the land receives any per
manent benefit from the use of the
Fertilizer. This doubt ought to be
solved, and this evil removed, for it is
the duty and it iscertanly the pecuniary
interest of every land owner who cul
tivates his soil to so use and cultivate
it as to make it grow more productive
each year, ana thus gradually increase
the value of h>s real estate. I there
fore recommend the following reme
dy for the evil referred to :
Let each farmer select portions
of his lands that are useless for culti
vation and sow them clown with
wheat in the month of October, sow
thin, then the spring following when
the wheat is cut and removed, sow
down with peas of the early bunch
variety, sow the peas thin and broad
cast, then use a turning plow to turn
the stubble and peas under, then in
the ensuing fall, before frost, gather
all the peas that arc ripe, then sow
down in wheat and use a turning plow
to cover the wheat and pea vines,
taking especial pains and caution to
have the green pea vines turned under
with the wheat. Continue to grow
the same crops the same way on the
same land for five or six years in suc
cession, and the owner will have a
good soil deposited on the land compos
ed of vegetable mould, that will pay
well for cultivation for several years
without the use of Commercial Fer
tilizers. The crop of wheat and peas
annually on the laud will more than
pay the expense of cultivation. Let
every farmer make the experiment as
I have above recommended, and he
will substitute that process of enrich
ing his impoverished lands in the place
of the expensive process of enriching
by the use of Commercial manures.

Trapping Cut Worms in Gardens.-
It is very anoying, after having set out
a nice lot of sweet potatoes or cab
bage plants, to see them cut down one
by one by worms. We have tried
ashes, soot, and, in fact everything we
have ever heard of, but never found
anything effective until, by accident,
we found three or four of the worms
one morning gathered under a small
board which had been left by some
children on a sweet potato hill. Act
ing upon this hint, we placed small
pieces of board, large chips, <fcc., all
through the patch, and we trapped
them by hundreds. The boards must
be lilted early in the morning, and on
very warm days again about noon.—
A little care for a few days will clear
these pests out of the garden. One
trial will satisfy any person of the
merit of tins plan.— Exchange.
Chicken chiolera.-Editor Southern
Cultivator:—l know a lady who in
the fall of 1869, began to feed her
chickens on the seed of the plant
known as Worm seed or “Jerusalem
Oak.” Prior to that the cholera had
been among her chickens almost in
cessantly. In a week it disappeared,
and has not returned since. She con
tinues the use of the remedy to this
day, mixing it in the feed of the chick
ens from one to three times a week
using sometimes the leaves of the plant
instead of the seed. These are the
facts. I cannot say what put a stop
to the cholera, * H. T. Hanks.

PROSPECTUS FOR 1872.
I'iFTH YEAR.
A Representative and t%an;ph>n of American Art
Tlie Aldine s
An Illustrated Monthly Journal claimed to he
the Papeer in the Wot Id.
“Give my love to the artist workmen of
the ai.dine who are striving to make their
profesion worthy of admiration for heuuly.as
it has always been for usefulness."— Henry
Ward Beecher-
Tiie Ai.dine, while issued with nfl the reg
ularity, has none of tlie temporary or timely
interest characteristic of ordinary periodic
als* Jt is an elegant miscellany of pure,
light, and graceful literature, and a collection
of'pictures, the rarest specimens of artistic
skill, in black and white. Although each
succeeding number affords a fresh pleasure to
its friends, the real value and beauty of The
Aldine will be most appreciated after it has
been bound up nt the close of the year. —
\Vhil«r other public publications may claim
superior cheapness us compared with rivalsof
a similar class, The Aldine i:s a unique and
original conception—alone and unnpproaeh
ed—absolutely without compet'd icy in* price
or character, The possessor of the volume
just completed cannot duplicate the quantity
of fine paper and engravings in any other
shape or number of volumes for ten times its
cost.
The labor of getting The Aldine ready on
the press is so aieat that repti ting is out of
the question* With the exception of a small
number specially reserved for binding, the e
dition of 1871, is already exhausted, and it is
now a scarce as well as valuable book.
NEW FEATURES FOR 1872.
ART DEPARTMENT.
The enthusiastic support so readily accord
ed to their enterprise, wherever it has been
introduced, lias convinced the publishers ol
The Aldine of the soundness of their theory
that the American public would recognize
and heartily support any sincere efiort to ele
vate the tone and standard of illustrated pub
Iscations. That so many weakly, wicked sheets
exist and thrive is not evidence that there is
no mark'd for anything hetter-indeed the suc
cess of 'I he Aldine horn the start is direct
proof of the contrary. With a population to
vast, and of euch varied taste, a publisher
can choose his patrons, and hie paper is rath
er indicative of his own than of the taste of
the country. Asa guarantee of the excel
lence of this department, the publishers would
beg to announce during the coming’ year
specimens from the following artists:
WTlticlard?, Granville Perkins, James Smiley.
Wni liar., FOG Darby, RE Pigiwt,
Wm Beard, Victor Nehlig, Frank Heard,
George Smiley,Win II Wilcox, Paul Dixon,
Aug. Will, James H Beard, J Howe,
Those pictures aro being reproduced with
out regard to expense by the very best cn
gravers in the country, and will bear the se
verest critical comparison with the best for
eign work.it being the determination of the
publishers that The Aldine shall be a success
ful vindication of American taste in compe
tition with any existing publication in the
wo: Id.
LITERARY DEPARTMENT,
Whore so much is paid to illustration and
get up of the work, too much dependence on
appearances may very naturally be feared.
To. anticep ite such misgivings, it i? only nee
essary to state that the editorial management
of The Aldine has been iutrusted to
Air. RICHARD HENRY STODDARD,
who has received assurances of assistance
from a host of the most popular writers and
poets of the country.
THE VOLUME FOR 1872
will contain nearly 300 pages and about 250
fine engravings Commencing with the num

The Christmas number for 1872 will be a
splended volume in itself, containing fifty en

to all yearly subscribers.
A CHROMO TO EVERY SUBSCRI

will be repeated with the present volume.
