sTANOARD & YAvMT CARTERBVILLE, 0A„ NOV* Is, 1871. Agricultural Department. your Mock. In traveling over the country dur ing the winter months, how often do wo seo poor dumb brutes exposed to the cold winds, and pelting storms of rain and sleet and sn jw! This is cru el and sinful on the p irt of the own ers of such animals; and, besides this, it is poor economy for a man to keep more stock than ho can feed and shel ter comfortably. It would be far bet ter, in such cases, to dispose of a part, even at a sacrifice, and take good care of the ballance. “ A merciful man is merciful to his beast ” is not a scriptural quotation, but it is never theless true. “ Blessed are the merci ful for they shall obtain mercy ” is scripture aud truth, too, and applies to those who have a proper regard for the poor dumb animals, who are de pendent upon them for comfort and protection. We have often been pain ed to see the gross neglect on the part of many in this matter, and would re joice, if they would adopt a more con siderate and humane policy. Keeping Sweet Potatoes in the South. We have recently noticed in many of our exchanges, instructions for the keeping of sweet potatoes, copied from papers which intended the original advice for latitudes and climates to tally different from ours. The advice they give is doubtless good for the section of country for which it is in tended—but some discrimination should be used and allowance made for differences of soil and climate. The following brief instructions on the subject are the result of experienc ed growers in this part of the country, and are thoroughly reliable and safe to follow: Ist. Be sure and dig the potatoes before frost nips the vines ; bank or house thorn on tho day of digging. 2nd. Pick out all potatoes that are bruised or rut. Preparo the spot for banking in the morning, before the sun is high -cut off with tho hoe or spade all grass or weeds and leave the place exposed to the sun and air all day. Lay the potatoes on the bare ground, about 20 bushels to a bank and bring it to the form of a cone, cut corn stalks of a length to reach from the ground to the top of the bank; lay on at least two courses of stalks, but four will do much better. Cover with earth from four to five inches thick, leaving a hole on the top of the hill, which should be filled with pine straw, place a board or piece of tin on top to protect from rain. After one week take off board or tin and bank up sol id with earth. 3rd. Always place most earth on the North-East side of the embank ment. By this course of treatment we can keep potatoes in this latitude until May. —Farm & Gardener. Improvement of Stock. Inferior stock should be got rid of as soon as possible. It is a very erro neous practice to waste provender by feeding animals which will make no adequate return for the outlay. Old horses, cows and sheep are very un profitable stock; the former are not vigorous enough to perform the labors of the farm, when most needed. Old milch cows are not fit for dairy purpo ses, and old breeding ewes produce small, weak lambs and very light flee ces. The improvement of his stock should be the constant aim of the farmer. This may be done by select ing the best breeding animals that can be obtained. No money is more judi ciously expended than that which goes to procure the services of a first rate stailiou, bull, buck, or boar. In order to procure superior stock, the breed ing animals, male and female, must be of the very best quality, and they and their progeny must have an abundance of good provender at all seasons. The Crops in Ireland. The news we receive from our spe cial correspondents in Ireland, as well as the information otherwise obtained regarding the condition of the crops in that unfortunate country, is not at all encouraging. The prospects are gloomy enough to justify the anticipa tion that the poorer classes, especially those in the country districts, will suf fer severely during the coming winter. The yield of the wheat, oat and barley crops has decreased, and in compari son with that of last year shows that the diminution will be considerably lower than what was expected. The turnip crop has also fallen off. To swell, as it were, the miseries of the Irish tenant farmer, to add to his mis fortunes and render his difficulties more perplexing, the potato blight has again visited his fields. In the south it is estimated that one-third of the yield will prove bad, while in other parts wu are told that from one-half to two thirds of the present crop will turn out unsound. This is a melan choly record, and the facts we record may be productive of new troubles among the poorer classes. A plenti ful harvest brings peace and happi ness to the cotter’s home, but with short yields aud diseased crops dis content and disturbances are likely to follow.— N. V. Herald. Bound to do a full Day’s Work. Mr. M.. of Oxiord, don't object to having a hired man to do a full day’s work—at least, so we judge from the following story : A short time ago a man went to his place for work. Mr. M. set him ploughing round a forty acre field. After he had ploughed faithfully all day until the sun was about half an hour high, he express ed his opinion that it was about time to quit. “Oh, no!” replied Mr. M., “you can plough eight times more just us well as not/’ So the hired man ploughed around six or eight times, then went to the house, took care of bis team, milked nine cows, ate his supper, aud found ten o’clock staring him in the face from the old timepiece. Said the hired man to Mrs. M., “Where is Mr. M ?” The good woman answered, “He has retired ; do you wish to see him? He replied that he did., After be ing conducted to the bedroom, he said. “Mr. M., where is your axe ?” “Why, said Mr. M., “what do you want to do with the axe ?” “Well,” said the hired man, “I thought you might like me to split wood till breakfast is ready.” ISHAM ALLEY HAS Just Received from New York, and has opened at his old Stand, a very Superior Stock of STAPLE AND FANCY FALL & WINTEE GOODS, Hats, Hoots, Shoes, Etc., Etc.

The 'American Washer Saves money, Time and Drudgery The Fatigue of Washing I»av no Longer Dreaded, hut Economy, Efficiency, and Clean Clothing, Sure. In calling public attention to this little ma chine, a lew of the invaluable qualities, (not possessed by any other Washing Machine yet invented,) are here enumerated. It is the smallest, most compact, most porta ble. most simple in construction, most easily operated. A child ten years old, with a few hours practice, can thoroughly comprehend aad effectually use it. There is no adjusting, no screws to annoy, no delay in adapting! It is always ready for use ! It is a perfect little wonder ! It is a miniature giant, doing more work and of a better quality, than the most elaborate and costly. One half of the labor is saved by its use, and the clothes will last one half longer than by the old plan of the rub board. It will washthe largest blanket. Three shirts at a time, washing thoroughly! In a word, the ablution of any fabric, from "a Quilt to a Lace-Curtain or Cambric Handkerchief, are equally within the capacity of this little GEM ! It can he fastened to any tub and taken off at will. No matter how deep rooted a prejudice may exist against Washing Machines, the moment this little machine is seen to perform its won ders, all doubts of its cleansing efficacy and utility are banished, and the doubter and de tractor at once become the fast friends of the machine. We have testimonials without end, setting forth its numerous ad vantages over all others, and from hundreds who have thrown aside the unwieldy, useless machines, which have signal ly failed to accomplish the object promised in prominent and loud sounding advertise ments. It is as perfect for washing as a wringer is for wringing. The price another paramount in ducement to purchasers, has been placed so low that it is within the reach of every housekeeper, and there is no article of domestic economy that will repay the small investment so soon. §5.50. All that is asked for this GREAT LABOR SAVER, is a fair trial. We guarantee each machine to do its work perfectly. Sole Acents for the United States, A. H. FRANCISCUS & CO., 513 Market St., Philad’a.
