SOUTHERN BANNER: MARCH 12, 1878., Bedding out Yams, &c., &c. Jefferson,Ga., March 4, 1878. ■ | Editor Southern Banner : Take lour pieces of plank or slabs one foot wide, and set them up edgewise, driving stakes on the outside to keep them up. Fill this frame with as fresh horse mauurc as you can get, that has never been wet. Tramp or pack the manure until it is only eight inches deep, cover tin; manure with dry lot niauuro or very rich earth two inches deep. Place the potatoes evenly on this rich earth and cover with two inches of good soil, arid after raising one side of the frame, cover it entirely over with boards, so as to keej^out all rain until the slips come up. which they will do in two weeks, after which they may be watered freely with soap suds every day or two aalongas slips are wanted. The only precaution necessary is to insert the hand into the manure fre quently during the first week, and if it is disagreeably warm, take oft the covering for twelve hours it there is no appearance of rain. Protect the slips from frost, and set out just before a rain, or water as they are set out with a gill of water to the plant, and cover with dry earth. A beautiful' supply ot slips may be obtained in this way firora April until July. F. 8. 8. How Much to Bat.

It is better to purchase the poorest part ,yf a b[t animal than the best of a lean one. The best piece of a fat ox (the loin) contains from 21 to 28 per cent, more of fixed material then the correspon ding part of a lean one; and curiuusly enough the ^oret |piece in the lean animal (the neck) is the richest in. nourishing material. The flesh of the neck improves very little ^ fattening,! hence, euoonomy considered, it is the best portion tb purchase; as its value in a measure is a fixedone.—J&trrml C/ieijfistiy. / , ' ‘ ; jj Planting Potatoes. •; / '!

For literary men who write more in the evening than during (he day, ..an- early dinner and a light supper will be found to be the most advantageous for steady work. Idlers, to enjoy life, if they possibly can, should dine early if they intend to spend the evening at the theaters and the like; but if they ac cept dinner invitations freely they should he very careful not to eat too much at the raid-day meal. The breakfast hour should be determined in a great measure hv the hour of rising, but iu any case food should be partaken of before the material busi ness of the day is commenced. Those who like to take a u constitutional’! before breakfast would find their ap petite whetted and their walk made all the more enjoyable if they took a little milk or coffee with milk, bread or bis cuit before starting. Work done be fore breakfast is always irksome and fatiguing, and on that account is very likely to be badly done. The last meal should be sufficiently late for the whole not to be absorbed before retir- ng to rest. To a person in health three meals a day ought to be quite sufficient, and the practice of continu ally “taking something” is sure to bring on indigestion. Fattening Cattle. tmi \ r ' i \ t d \ f O 41 * k i V 1 The cost to a farmer fattening an ox is much greater at the close of the process than at the commencement; that is increase in bulk or day weight at that period is much more costly. If its coats three cents a pound for bulk for the first month after'a poor animal is put in the fattining stall, it will cost five cents the last month. If then, a farmer consult his money interests, he will not carry the increase in fat beyond a certain point, provided he can torn his partially fattened animal to fiur advantage. Farmers have, perhaps, learned this fact from experience and observation, and hence comparatively •can beef abounds in our markets. Some of our correspondents have disagreed with the Prairie Farmer upon its statement relating to planting fair sized cut potatoes, and upon the surface, and hilling thereto. Upon this subject the New York Tribune gives the result of experiment by a French cultivator as follows; * M. Colloigne, a noted horticultur ist, of Bruges, has been very successful with potatoes by planting whole tubers 80 inches apart in the row, or cut in half, at 20 inches of distance. The sets are placed oa the surface and a slight covering of soil drawn over them. It is daisied for this plan that the seeds sprout very quickly, and their development is also hastened, j which is a point gained in avoiding the destructive potato disease. The earth is gradually drawn up around the plants as they lucrease in size, and the requirements of the crop appear to suggest. It is further claimed in favor of the treatment, air and heat have an opportunity of gaining a freer access to the roots than by auy other, and according to our own foreign authority, this method deserves to be fully tested, □ot only on account of the acceleration of growth, but because of an alleged increase of yield.’’ “When the swallows homeward fly, V then is the time when epugh and colds begin to appear.
