From the Telegraph & Messenger 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 Earmer. 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. Bonuai. 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. Ripley, Lauderdale co., Tenn. ■ — «• <«*-•» WEIGHTS AND ME AS DDES. BUSHELS. LBS. heat * 6Q Shelled Corn....

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.
