Farm, Garden and Household.
R.. Culture of the swcet Potato.
r".
The ,-, peculiar requirements of the sweet
potato are, a rich sandy, cr sandy loam soil,
.i : warm and_ dry. Our Northern droughts
and heat do not affect them as they do the
f..: . common potato, as their native habitat is a
7., warmer climate, with
• plenty of litin.\ To
, g.
~,,. secure these, plant on our warmest soil, in
(-3 round, high hills. Prepare the ground 'by
t c. good manuring and plowing, as for other
i,l hoed crops. Any farm manure; well wk
;ed ed into the soil, is good, as the h weet po is
k' . not so particular as the Irish in that res ct,
c but good tormented farmyard manure ey_
t' luxuriate in. - Mark the places for hills e
?feet centers, by setting up sticks, and if tir
ther manuring is - thought necessary, p t. a
shovelful of any composted farm manure - m
the hill; and mix it well in the upper soil;,
:a raise the hills with the hoe or shovel, ten
i inches high, rounding them off. This is for
i garden culture; for field or more extended
I culture, it is more eeonomitally done with the tea and plow. As soon as danger of
frost Is past, which in this latitude is from
the middle of May to the first week in June,
set the plants, •two good strong ones, or
three smaller, to a hill, first brushing off a
1 little of tho topsoil of the hill; set the plants
. t
i down to the first leaf, pressing the soil care
! fully, firmly and close around the bottom.
I Damp or wet weather is best for transplant
-1 ing, although by watering well they may be
set out at any other time.
The,. after cultivation consists mainly -in
i keeping the ground clear of weeds,• as for
I other hued crops. The vines start slowly
i at first, butafter a while they run vigorously.
• 1 In hoeing them haul the soil towards the
I plant, and occasionally lift the vines, to keep
Ithem from taking root. At the first frost, to.
cut the vines, dig them in a dry day, and
after drying off the soil,
,store them in a
I *Bain place free from frost. They must be
hindled as carefully as choice fruit, to in
- I sure keeping. A few may be drawn in
August, or earlier, by running the finger into
I
- the hill, and when a good-sized one is' felt
uncover it, and carefullyremove it from the
I
. stem, taking it cut and returning the soil to
I its place. -
.. • 1 .. Whet* the crop is raised on a small scale,
it is better to procure the plants from
1
nurserymen, or other experienced propaga
- tors,as they are a somewhat peculiar plant to
I produce. Sweet potatoes are often raised on
1 ridges, eight or ten inches high, three to
• four-feet apart; the-plants are set on the top
of ridges, twelve _. to sixteen feet apart.
More chubby ones are raised where sods are
placed in:the bottom of the ridges, as the
1
- meeting the sod prevents the extension in
• length. The ridges skould run north and
south; to more fully receive the benefit of
the sun's rays in warming up the soil. The
`.wines should occasionally be lifted, and kept
ion top of the -ridger.--,W. H. WArrE, in
country Gentleman.
.... 1 Small Matters.
• , There'aie many otherwise 'good farmers
, Who are entirely regardless of little fixtures,
and who-devote all their time to the larger
matters. - -'Now-we hold that while. the
• lat
ter should by all means be made the main
objects of attention , the former should en
no 'account be neglected, and it is as much
,the part of the thoroughly good farmer to
:II see to the one as the other. We enjoy via
liting a farm where this attention to little
;Imatters, this time spent in "fixing up;" is
everywhere noticeable and' in - complete
- (keeping with the more. weighty matters.
IWe like la see well built gates 'instead 'of
i• bars, barn-doors on rollers instead of hinges,
and fodder racks for sheep instead of feed
ing them Upon the ground or floor. We
like to see all doors. to outbuildings provi
ded with .haips, - for both fastening them'
uppn the inside if necessary, . and also: for
securing them back, when open from the
action of the winii; , . to see a gate to , shut
across a barn door to keep out cattle or sheep
,- when the door is open; to find in connec
tion with every Irian, or „stable,a .closet...for
'• harnesses and csniage robes,, as •- well as .a
tool room and a 'room for Storage of the,
larger farm tOola and - implements; to find
hooks for hangin g up - odd . pieces of rope,
chains, shovels and , the: like, and nails for
hangiug .up,the smaller tools -and untensils

reception of old iron and every ' sort of waste;

orchard,,whicy has become covered With a
dense sod of grass, and this often of an in
ferior character, and full, of disagreeable
weeds. Orchards that - have been widely
planted,, and which have gaps from the de
cay of trees, especially when these have
been trimmed up with high stems, and long,
naked branches, do not cast sufficient shade
_Trion the ground to prevent the growth of
zrass and weeds. These intruders occupy
the surface soil to the disadvantage of the
roots of the fruit trees, and we may wonder
fully improve the health of such orchard by
ploughing the ground, and at the same time
severely pruning the.branehesand cleansing
the bark of these old trees. These good re
sults may be continued by shallow culture of
the soil, with suitable applications of ma
nure where needed. By giving a doie of
lime, or marl and ashes, we Audi infuse a
new life and growth and productiveness
that will astonish and delight us, and reward
us for our labors and outlay.
It may be urged as an objection to break
ing up the sod. that the mostcarefid plough
man will unavoidably damage some of the
.roots that approach the surface, but this is
an injury that must be submitted to; and
after all, it is not such a serious affair, and
is•oVerbalanced by the advantages of renew
ing the productiveness of the exhausted or
chard.—Warder's American Pomology.

ANOTHER SWtRDLE ON FARMERB.--Most
of our readers recollect' the Hay-fbrk and
Double Water bucket swindles played off
on the farmers within a brief period. An
other is on the tapis. This time it is a
wrought iron plow-point, fitting into a hol
low square, of the economy of which won
derful tales are told. Those that have bit
and got bitten, find that wrought iron points
cost more apiece than entire shares of cast
iron. As these plow-point swindlers are
understood to be making a hurried sweep
up through the Southern counties of the
State in order to get into West Virginia,
Pennsylvania and the. Eastern States, farm
ers would do well to be on the alert for
them. Papers desirous of saving their pa
trons' pockets will direct attention to this
swindling scheme. It has cost the farmers
of the West about $200.000 the past year.
A CORRESPOICDNT of an agricultural jour
nal, who writes over the nom de plume of
"Farmer," says that the tires on his wagons
wear out before they get loose, and the
reason is, he saturates the felloesthoroughly_
linseedwitlinseed oil before the tires are set. The
felloes are placed in hot oil for about an
hour, and are thus rendered perfectly water
proof, so that the shrinking and swelling
that loosens the tire are prevented.
TREE GRASS crop of Pennsylvania, accord
ing to all accounts, will be the heaviest cut
for the last ten years. The wet weather of
last fall. the snows during the winter, and
the continued rains of April. all combined
to create a 'heavy growth of grass, and our
farmers now anticipate a yield - of hay which
will glut the market and defeat the calcula—
tions of the speculators in this particular
article of agriculture.
FAituzits in Western New York make
very favorable reports of the crop and fruit
prospects in that section: Their work = is
already well advanced, having been begun
about the middle of March. They are sow
ing largely to barley. The winter grain
looks remarkably well. Fruits are enough
`advanced to show that there 'will be an
abundant crop, with the exception of, the
peach-
REMEDY FOR SAGGING FARM GATEB.-
4ave two latches, or rather one latch and a
` stationary ;bar projecting like a latch,•which
rests on a support cut in the arc pr a portion
of a circle, that is secured to the post in the
same manner as the catch of the latch.
-When the'gate is swung' o, the stationary
bar strikes on the circular support and raises
the gate to its place, and supports it so there
is no bearing or strain on the latch or
hinges.
- Cmtv. GAPES.—The dose for a chicken
five or six weeks old is a pill of camphor
-the size of a small , garden pea. Where the
camphor julep given, them to drink is strong,
they seldom require a pill. It is the odor
of the camphor that kills the gape-worms;
there is no real contact with it, which is
imposaible, because the parasites are in the
wind-pipes.
A BUPPALo paper says twentY:four thou
