In response to a correspondent's in
quirks about our experience in Irish
potatoe culture, we will briefly detail the
practice wc have found most successful in
this climate
The soil best adapted to this crop is a
fresh, friable loam, containing a large per
cent, of vegetable molJ, silica (sand) and
the phosphates, and above ail, potash and
lime. Scarcely any other cultivated crop
— excepting tobacco—requires so much
pota-h in the soil as the Irish potato, and
hence it is that ashes—strong, unleashed,
hard-wood ashes exert such a beneficial
effect upou the health aud product of the
plant. Originally good land, still furtbei
enriched by “cow penning’’ or the liber
al addition of the proper composts, will,
u J. judicious culture, produce'crops ol
equal quality and but little inferior in
ante vat to the most favored regions of the
' orth, Iu our own experiments we have
.cceoded satisfactorily with a moderate
application of superphosphate of lime,
plaster and wood ashes, thoroughly inter
mingled with the soil at tho time of plan
tin A compost that we liked better,
h.wivcr, was made of a heavy layer (say)
six inches iu thickness) of swamp muck,
lime, ashes, grouiid bones and old brine
iioni the beef, pork or fish barrel. A bed
of this in alternate strata, chopped down
j pulv ;hed after remaining as made
lhr two or three months, will be found the
. : ,ij w .1 as the cheapest manure forthe
potatoe—either sweet or Irish—and should
to implied to tho drill with the covering
earth at planting. Rich, stimulating,
nit' ■ euous manures are not good lor
; Haloes, as they force too great a growth
at . , —for this crop at least, tho uiiucrnl
manure theory is safest. The aspect anti
location are of minor importance, provided
the subsoil is sufficiently pervious to pro
\ at water remaining too long about tho
roots of the plants. We have raised
eo'.'■illy good crops on land slightly roll
H. and hilly land, and with inclination
to all points of the compass.
The ground should be thoroughly pre
[ ared by repeated and deep broadcast
■ E wings and harrowings , then throw in
to ridges the same as for cotton ; the width
of rows about three feet. These ridges
should be opened with a bulltongue or
shovel plow, and the seed dropped there
n at. about eight inches apart. It the
hinting is done early, whole potatoes
.liould be used, so that if the tops are kill
ed by frost, there will be strength euotigh
left in the original seed to send up a new
growth. If so late that there fa mi dangiv
of frost, plant cut potatoes by all means —
the pieces containing not more than two
eves each. iTant two of these pieces t
y. ‘.her, and cover with a light furrow
from each side. As soon as the tops ap
pear above ground, throw eloso and deep
furrows to thorn, breaking out the middles
entirely. No after hilling or cultivation
s necctpiry except to keep the grass and
weeds idcva. Late and repeated hilling
"'up we have found to be a decided injury.
Of varieties we have tried a great many,
including the newer seedling of Goodrich
uud others, but esteem the Early Good
rich and Harrison as the best of ail. The
reach Blow, (of N. J.). and Early h’eboe
are worthless, on account of rotting. The
t.'iu. ', Garnet Chili, GE :i uud ilctlron
are excellent varieties and should be tested
I . all. Wo will give a description of all
the new varieties in an early No.—South

A Herd About (ooking
Cooking is not ‘‘tlio art of providing
dainty bits to fktten out the ribs.” as the
old proverb has if; it is the art of turning
every morsel to the best use ; it is the
exercise of skill, thought, ingenuity to
make every morsel of food yield the
uluiost nourishment and pleasure of which
it is capable. To do this, or to legislate
for the doing of it, does not depend on the
amount of money spent; the same quali
ties of character are demandeslfvwhether
the housekeeping lie on a large or a small
scale.
A woman who is not essentially kind
: hearted canuot ho a oomfortublo house
keeper ; a woman who has not judgement,
firinuess, forethought, and geueral good
sense, esnnot manage her house prudently
or comfortably, no matter what amount of
money the may have at her command ; a
woman who has an eye for detecting and
remedying dlsorderliness and carelessness
cannot keep her house fresh and pleasant,
no matter how much money she may
spend on furniture and upholstery. It is
not money, hut management, that is
requisite iu procuring comfort in house
hold arrangements.
Of course, nobedy asks impossibilities;
none but the Jews ever yet succeeded iu
“making bricks without straw,” and even
they found it difficult, and lamented
wearily; but the woman with limited
means may make her things as perfect af
ter their kind as the woman with ample
| means, only she will he obliged to put
! more of herself into the management, and
! ibis clement of personality has a charm
i which no appointments made through the
best staff of servants can possess—it is a
luxury that money cannot buy, aud
generally hinders. The luxury of complc
| teness must always depend on the individ
! ual care and -kill of the mistress. That a
| thing should be perfect after its kind is
; all that can be required.
Bacon and venison lie at the opposite
ends of the economical scale; but if the
woman whose means allow her to procure
bacon only is careful to have it so die <scd
and served that it is as goud as bacon
ought to be, she has attained the only
perfection required at her hands, and it
is the higher qualities brought to bear on
a common action which give to tho result
a beauty and value not its own. Weave
all so mach (features of imagination that
wo think more of the signified than of the
actual fact. When a man sees his table
nicely set out he believes iu the g sadness
! of his dinner in a way that would be im
! possible with the selfsame dinner on $
soiled tablecloth with a slovenly arrange
1 ment.—[Southern llaralist.
