A sturdy old farmer from a neighboring township dropped iuto onr office recently, as is his custom, to tak home his weekly copy of the VMagt Eecvril, and knowing him to be one of the most successful growers of potatoes in this vicinity, and always the first to depoait a sample of bis early yarieties upon our agricultural bureau, we invited him to let us know into the secret of his success ; and as he did not bind us to secrecy, we propose to let it out for the benefit of our agricultural readers. Accordingly we put thre or four questions to our old friend, which we anex, with his replies: 1st. How is it that yourpovwoes are generally in the market a week or ten day, ahead of your neighbors ? "It is becausa I take the trouble to encourage them to come early. Every year I watch ,r those that come into blossom first and set stakes by them, and before gathering the crop I take up all I had thus marked, and the tendency of this i to produce earlier ripeniug from the seed thus selected than from the general crop. Hav ing pursued this system for the last three or four years I think my Early Rose potatoes are gradu ally becomiug constitutionally earlier in ripening than those produced in the usual way." 2d. Have you auy unusual method of prepar ing your ground so as to make it productive, as well as tend to early maturity in your potatoes ? "For my very early crop I select every fall about half an acre of my cornstalk ground, plow it deeply and top-dress moderately with manure and let it lie on the ground all winter. Ground thn. .ned is ready for working iu tb Spring much earlier than if left nnplowed during the winter, and I .ra enabled to plant as soon as th frost is out of the grouud. x r manure iu the rows preferring to spread broad cast and plow under. I know not the why or wherefore, bnt experience has led me to believe that manur ing in the row stimulates to a larger growth of tops with a tendency to produce numerous small tubers, and I prefer fewer good sized potatoes to a larger number of small ones. T&is supposed result f manuring In the rows may be all a no tion of miue, but the idea is in my head and will be likely to stay there. 1 always select my most mellow aud dry soil for potatoes, as it ia labor thrown awar to plant them on heavy clay or wet land. A potato cannot grow and incree In size when pressed down by a compa ioiI any more than an infant's foot woufd grow and ex pand when compressed in a -Sht leather boot.' 3d. How do yon cultivate your potatoes T "I use the plow, hoe ard harrow, as necessity requires. As soon as thy peep through the soil I run the drag harrow rer them once followed by the cultivator a couple of weeks or as soon as the tor are three or four inches high. I cul tivate just deep enough to keep down weeds and grass, believing it to be injurious to the crop to disturb the roots in the least. As soon as the tops are full grown or how signs of bloaaoma, I stop the cultivator throw a shallow furrow to each side of every row. This is necessary to protect the Early Rose, Peerless, and other large varieties which have a tendency to push up to the surface from becoming suu-buint. During the remainder of the season handweeding is the only labor expended on the crops." 4Mh. Your potatoes are always dry and mealy. Ia this the effect of superior cultivation, or na tural to the varieties you grow 1 I attribute it in a great measure to allowing them to become thoroughly ripe, and then take them up before the fall rains set in. There is nearly as much difference between a green and ripe apple. Potatoes require a longei season to mature thoroughly than many of ns are aware of, and they should be planted early enough in Spring to be ripe in August. When potatoes are solid or soggy, as a general rule it is because they are unripe or have been exposed to soaking rains late in the seasoa. I attribute the wall-deserved populaiity of Early Rose potatoes to the fact that they ripen early and are gathered and stored away before they become affected by cold September rains." 5th. Have you ever been troubled with potato rot? "Very little, aud I account for it by early planting, so that my crop ripens in the dry weather of August and escapes the cole! fall rains. I gather them when the ground is tho roughly dry, and store them in this condition in a well-ventihtted cellar. It is just as important tbat potatoes get not too warm, as get not too cold, when stored iu large quantities. In some seasons when the rot has prevailed badly in the neighboihood I have dusted air-slacked lime over tbem, but whether it did any good or not 1 am uuuble to say. It did no harm at any rate." Supposing ourselves to be pretty well booked up on the '-potato question" by this time, we thanked our old friend for his good nature under our infliction, and invited bim to call again, when we would catechise him about some of his other tine crops. Record. HOUSEHOLD. From Godey's Lady's Book. Beefsteak and Oysters. Get a very tender sirloin steak ; remove the bone, and lay it on the gridiron over hot coals, nave ready larga fat oysters. When the steak is browned a little, dip it iu the gravy, with the addition of the oyster juice; which, if as salt as usual, will salt the gravy sufficiently ; lay the beef on the gridiron agaiu, and wheu a little hot, put tha oysters on it, pressing the meat a little to make hollow spots to retain their juice ; cover the whole grid iron with a bright tin pan or cover ; when the oysters are heated a little, turn them over, and when heated through, remove the steaks to the platter ; lay the oysters around the edge of the meat in the gravy, aud serve immediately. Fob Roasting a Quarter or Lamb. Paper the roust all over, baste frequently, and cook thoroughly ; if underdone, it Is nut fit to eat ; when sufficiently roasted, the gravy which drops from it is entirely free from color ; remove the paper hair an hour before taking it from the fire ; dredge it with flour, and baste it with but ter, until it has penetrated the meat ; brown nicely. The first hasting liquid should be pre pared with a little butter, salt, and pepper, to season the meat ; some advise to cut off the fore shoulder aud lift the flesh with a fork, and sea son it with pepper, salt, butter, and a little lemon-juice ; if done, the shoulder must be re placed neatly, so as not to mar the quarter. It is easier to run a knife in the flesh ia several places, making openings, without removing any of the flesh, and dust in pepper, salt, and lemon juice, if relished. Serve with mint-sauce, the gravy of the quarter, or plain. Asparagus, peas, and potatoes, are the vegetables proper for serv ing with lamb; for relishes use salads. For dessert serve a light pudding, easy of digestion, and fruit. Mutton Soup. Boil a neck of mutton in as many quarts of water as there are pounds of meat, until the meat drops from the bone. Strain the soup into the pot, if to be served the same day ; if not, into a stone or earthen dish. If the meat is wanted in other forms, use half the water, and boil any piece of mutton on hand. Remove all the fat, season with salt, pepper, thyme, and parsley. Boil a pint of green peas, mash them fine, and add to the soup. Roll half a teacup of butter in flour to make a paste, and ten minutes before dishing add it to the soup. This can be varied, for those who are fond of vegetables iu soup, by adding potatoes, turnips, Lima beans, cauliflower, carrots or cabbage. Lima beans can be nsed iustead of peas, bnt the latter are the best. Peas Steamed. Put the peas in a tin pail, or some other article with a tight cover, without water. To every quart put a piece of bntter as large as a quarter of a eommon-siied hen's egg set it in boiling water nntil the peas are cooked tendej. This is said to be superior to any other mode, as they retain their whole flavor. Peas are generally served hen lamb is cooked, if they are to be had ; yet they are a proper dish with all roast, broilsd, or fried meats, and with fowls in any form. Eoo Plant Boil in water until perfectly tender, make i batter, and beat the plant in it ; there must be a little batter, just enough to hold' the egg plant together; the cakes should be rather salt, bui after the first cake is baked, if not sufficiently seasoned, more can be added ; bake on a gridd.'e. This is an excellent method for cooking this regelable ; there is no vegetable as poor as the eggplant when half cooked. Baked Eoo Puit Leare on the skin, lake out the seeds, 111 with dressing prepared a for tnrky, sew in th: piece taken out, and" bake mil thoroughly .'ookcrt.
