Slifisfe Sweet Potatoes. —"J. V\. <3.'
Salem county, New Jersey, send® the Aff'ri *
cvlhirist an account of the method he has t ol- ]
lowed-for the past 24 years. Fie commences
early or, late in April, according to the season.
The hot-bed is made by digging a trench 6
leet wide, 2J feet deep, and 1 foot in lengs ih
for each bushel of potatoes. The trench is
filled with stable litter, well trodden dow- a,
and watered with one bucket of warm wat> ir
to every 2 feet of bed. A layer of the be st
horse manure is spread over this, to the dep th
of 4 or 5 inches, and over this 4 or 5 inches of
rich soil. The potatoes are then laid upon
the soil, nearly touching each other, and are
covered with the same kind of soil, to the
depth of 11 inch. The whole is then covered
with hay, to the depth of 1 foot on the edge,
and forming a bed 5 feet high in th e middle of
the bed. The heat of the bed is tested at the
end of 3 days, by running the arm through the
hay, and if the soil is found to be i uore than
blood warm, the hole left by the arm is left
open, and if the heat continues to increase,
the hay is turned over and shaken sip. If the
heat increases too violently, take of F the hay
put some rails across the bed, and place the
hay over them. Be carefnl not to cool the
bed too much, as it is difficult to re store the
heat if once lost. In 10 or 14 days the bed is
uncovered, to give the plants air an d sun.
Leave it uncovered for two hours daily, at
first, gradually increasing the expose re until
past danger of frost, when tbey may be left
open night and day. The plants will be ready
by May 15.
THE T ORIGINAL SECKKL. —The tree from
which ail the Seckels have been derive d by a
succession of buds and grafts, is a -chance
seedling, first discovered by a hwnter, in a
meadow upon the banks of the Scbuy lkill,
while Philadelphia was still young. We xopy
the following account of its present appear
ance from the Gardiner's Monthly of tthat
city :
Would you find it, reader mine, with a tithe"
of the bother and time it coat me —then drive i
straight to the Point Breeze Race course, (any j
sporting friend or fast man can tell you where
that is,) follow the narrow lane which skirts
it on the east, till a pair of hairs obstruct your
further progress ; then inquire' of the inmates
of the humble farm-house, jusi over the fence
and they will kindly point you to the object of
your jouruey.
It stands in an open grass meadow, re
claimed long years since from the passing
waters, surrounded by a plan > substantiul
fence of post and rail, erected at the thought
ful instance of the late Dr. W. D. Brinckle, as
a protection against the depradati on of cattle
and the rude root-pruning of the p. low.
Like most great historic persi mages, the
tree is of small stature, being c nly about
twenty-five feet high, compact in t orm, and
giving no signs in limb or branch of decrepi
tude or decay. Yet the trunk, whicih would
measure six feet in circumference, L f sound
and entire, is now reduced to a mere a hell of
about two inches in thickness, and enci. -cling
only the south easterly half; yet, such L t the
inherent vigor of this Little monarch am ong
pears, that he has survived many a prop . P ut
up to sustain his declining years. A sto of
oaken scantling, the last of all his support* •,
has long since gone the way of all departeo
timber, and still the heavy little tree lives on
in a green and hale old age. From his crown
there have sprung up two thrifty- vigorous
shoots, about eight feet each in height, which
mayhap, shall hand down his lineage to hu
man generations yet unborn.
BJLSXNG CHICKENS. —A WORD IN SEASON. —
Last year the subject of gapes, especially the
method of curing the disease was a good deal
discussed in this journal. There is no doubt
but the ailement comes from little worms, the
iarvae of some fly or other insect, which are
found in considerable numbers in the throats
of the chickens, and causes their death. These
flies or insects no doubt abound about fowl
houses and yards, so that keeping the chick
ens in places which fowls do not frequent,
and where they have not been before kept,
goes far toward protecting them from the evil.
A correspondent, "Coxsackie," writes as fol
lows :
"About a year ago I communicated to the
Agriculturist acertain mode of treating chick
ens to prevent gapes. Since that time I have
seen various modes stated to cure the ailment.
Now, Mr. Editor, I insist upon it that "an
ounce of prevention is better than a pound of
cure." There is no need of having gapes at
all. Last year I raised nearly one hundred
chickens, and had not a sign ef gapes among
them. My method is as follows : When the
the chickens are in a condition to take from
the nest, I put them with the hen in the coop
with a board bottom, so as to keep the young
ones from the cold and damp ground. They
are fed with Indian meal, on which boiling
water is poured from the tea-kettle, well stir
red and allowed to cool. I believe the whole
secret is to keep the chickens dry and warm
when quite young, and give them cooked feed.''
—American Agriculturist.
HANDLING SHEEP. —Never seize them by
the wool on the back. It hurts them exceed
ingly, and in some cases has been known to
kill them, particularly in hot weather, when
they are large and fat. The best way is to
avoid the wool altogether. Accustom your
self to catch them by the hind leg, or what is
still better, by the neck, placingone hand un
der the jaws, and ether just back of the ears.
By lifting the head in this manner, a child
may hold almost any sheep without danger to
the animal or to himself.
RAISE THE CALVES.—WE have said it before,
and say it again, that the common practice
of selling calves to the butcher is one of the
poorest pieces of farm-husbandry ever prac
ticed. Not that every small former who may
have one or two can profitably raise them,
but that every farmer who has the keeping,
or any legitimate way of getting it, should
keep his calves until they are two or three
years old. We do not advocate the keeping
of any more stock than can be well kept.—
Very many of our farmers, by selling their
calves have let their stock run out. Now we
want such ones to turn overs new leaf. Com
mence the raising of your calves. They will
gradually increase your stock, and as your
stock increases in numbers so will your fields
in fertility.
THE prospects for wheat out west are very
fine. The fields in Ohio are covered with
the young wheat, scarcely any of it being
winter killed. A good deal more was sown i
last fall than usual. _• ■ Qil

JJLOUTZ'S CELEBRATED
How and Cattle Powders.
These Powders have proved, after a trial of sev
eral years, to be superior to any preparation of
the kind in use. The chief superiority of these
powders arises fioin the fact that they are compos
ed of medicines thai have Laxative, Tonic and
Purifying properties. The laxative ejects crudi
ties from the stomach aud intestines, thetonicgives
strength to the system of the Horse, and the puri
fying medicines contained in them cleanse the
blood, and lay the foundation for a vigorous jand
healthy circulation. The use of them improves the
wind, strengthens the appetite and gives the horsea
fine, smooth and glossy skin—thus improving the
appearance, vigor and spirit of this noble animal.
These powders are not intended, as most pow
ders are to bloat the animal, so as to give him the
appearance of being fat when nod really so—hut
to remove the disease and promote his general
health.
These powders will strengthen the stomach and
intestines, cleanse them from offensive matter, an 1
bring them to a healthy state. They are a sure pre
vention of Lung Fever, and a. certain remedy
all diseases incident to the Horse, as Glanders,
Yellow Water, Distempers, Founder, Heaves, Sla
vering, Coughs, Fevers Loss ol Appetite andYital
Energy, Ac.—These powdl-rs, if used two or
three times a week, through the winter and spring,
your horses will never get the Lung Fever Coric
or Botts. A few doses of these powders will re
move the worst cough, on any horse. Were own
ers of horses to feed a few of these powders every
year, they might save the lives of many valuable
horses.
MILCH COWS.
The properties this powder possesses in increas
ing the quantity of milk in cows, gives it an im
portance and value which should place it in the
hands of every person keeping a cow. In fatten
ing cattle, it gives them an appetite, loosens their
hide, and makes them thrive much faster,
HOGrS.
In all diseases of spine, as coughs, ulcers in the
lungs and liver. Ac., by putting from half a paper
to a paper of these powders i 1 a barrel of swill, the
above diseases can be cured >T entirely prevented.
By using these powders tao hog cholera can be
prevented.

Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine i Tory)
The American Publishers continue to reprint the
above-named periodicals, but as the cost of printirf
has doubled and the price of paper nearly treb'd,
they arc compelled to advance their term? as fol
lows :
„ per annum-
For any one of the Reviews... $4.00
For any two of the Reviews LOO "
For any three of the Reviews 10.00 "
For all four of the Reviews 12.00 "
For Blackwood's Magazine... 4.00 "

For Blackwood and two of the Reviews 10.00 " J
For Blackwood and three of the Reviews 13.00 " I
ror Blackwood and the focr Reviews.... 15.00 "
These works will be printed on a greatly in
proved quality of paper, and while nearly ail A
merican Periodicals arc either advanced in price or
reduced in size—and very generally both, we shall
continue to give faithful" copies of'all the matter
contained in the original edit ions. Hence. our pres
ent prices will be found as cheap, for the amount
of matter furnished, as those of any of the com
peting periodicals in the country.
Compared with the cost of the original editions,
which at the present premium on gold would be
about SIOO a year, our prk-cs (sls) areexeeeding-
Jy low. Add to this the fact that we make our an
nual payments to the British Publishers for early
sheets and copyright in Gold—flcoeting us at
this time nearly $2.50 in currency—and we trust
that in the scale we have adopted we shall be enti- t
rely justified by our subscribers and the reading
public.
The interest of these Periodicals to American
readers is rather increased than diminished by the
articles they contain on ourgrcat Civil War, and •
though sometimes tinged with prejudice they may
still, considering their great ability and the differ
ent stand-point? from which they prewritten, be
read and studied with advantage by the people of
this country of every creed and partv.
