Wheat after Potatoes.
A correspondent writing from Missouri,
to the editor of the GeruiantowD lrkSroph
eays: .
Some of thy readers are now gathering
their potito crop, ami preparing thegn.und
tt be seeded down with wheat ; this prepar
ing is often hastily done and much ncf iect
ed. May a word to such be in time. Mnny
farmers think that because the ground was
heavily manured for the potatoes, that it
cannot fail to bring a crop of wh -at. I5ut
many are sadly disappointed. The seed is
so ba-Jly put in that a portion of it (ails to
grow; and the weeds spring up and choke
out what does grow ; and this being conMi
quently weak and thin, is the prey of the
fly, weevil, Sec so that the harvest brings a
very poor reward.
But as far as my observation and experi
ence reach, as good wheat can be raised af
ter potatoes as anything else.simply by first j
putting the ground in good order, (of course
a little manure is needful for wheat, sow it
where you may. )
If farmers would spend more time in pre
paring their potato patches fir wheat, they
would be abundantly repaid frlr it at harvest.
I have frequently seen wheat sown after the
ground had only been plowed to get the po
tatoes which are left after the digging is
done, when if the ground had a second
plowing, a very great difference in the wheat
would have been realized.
I would say to those who cannot obtain
good wheat alter potatoes, to try givin the
ground a second plowing; they will find
that the ground will be in much better order
and the yield nearer their expectations.
Fattening Poultry. The London Field
states that poultry,) ropcrly fed. will acquire
all the fitness, needful for marketing pur
poses, in a fortnight or three neeks at most.
Their diet should be Indian, oat or bar ey
meal, scalded in milk or water the firmer
is the best, as it will expedite the fattening
process. They should be fed early in the
morning, at noon, and also in the evening
just before going to roost, A plentiful sup
ply of pure fresh water plenty of gravel,
sliced cabbagejir turnip tops. If the fowls
are required to be very fat some trimmings
of mutton suet may be chopped up anil
scalded with their other feed, or they may
be boiled in milk alone and poured over the
meal. This render the flesh firmer than it
otherwise would be. When fit to kill, feed
ing should be stopped for twelve hours or
more, that the intestines may become com
paratively empty.
Tomatoes for Winter Use. After
t-kinning perfectly ripe tomatoes,cut out any
green around the base. I think leaving in
this hard green core is the immediate cause
of the y of the truit. I'laee them in a
bell-metal kettle over the fire ; season with
salt as if for immediate use; then only allow
them to come to a boil ; while hot put in
stone cans or small mouthed gallon j:ir-.cork
and seal. If proper judgment be exercised
you will never lose one jar.
Professor Blot, in his lecture on the pota
to, says the skinning process is all wrong, as
the strength of the vegetable lies near the
surface the starch growing less abundant
as the centre is approximated.
