About Potatoes. 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.
