Thus we shall imitate the great ape-. rations of nature, and not the feeble, slow and imperfect operations of art.

SM mr--I observed in No. 34 of the Farmer, a piece headed "beat I his who n," followed by a certificate of several gentle. men of Washington, 1). C. certifying that they had weighed twelve potatoes for 311.. "Adam Lindsay, which weighed seventeen and a half pounds. At the time that paper arrived, I was about 'finishing the digging my potatoes, and had but a few rows to raise. 1 requested Mr. James T. Robinson, Mer chant of this place, to select twelVe , of the largest from the few rows I was then dig ging, and weigh them, and the return he , made me was that the twelve weighed twen ty-six pounds, nine minces, which exceeds Mr. Lindsay's about fifty per cent. In the lot he weighed there, was but one potato° that we would call here, a very large pota toe, it weighed about four pounds. I be lieve that this section of country cannot be equalled for raising potatotis as to quality and quantity. At our last exhibition, sat isfactory proof wag submitted to the direc tors, by Benton Rust, that he raised two hundred and thirty-eight and a hall' bushels of potatoes on one quarter of an acre, which is at the rate of nine hundred and filty-four bushels per acre. Ebenezer Byers, of this vicinity, had two hundred and thirty bush els on ono quarter of an acre. I presume these quantities tire not often _raised in your sec tierLef_eountry, Mr. galls, on a piece of hill side land, rais ed thelpast-season- one hundred and fbrty .eight_and_th_ree-fourth bushels _of shelled_ corn, on ono acre. This is'ihe greatest crop on one acre that we have _ever raised here, since-the establishment of our society. 100, 120 and 1444 bushels per acre, have been raised by members of our agricultural society. Mr. Falls raised (the past season) seventy-two and three-fourth bushels of oats, lit on one acre of round. We have .good country, our lands will produce • rops, if well farmed; but we have been far from market, but hope this -difficulty-,will.soan-ba-obv.iated,•-as-there- is a canal -now-in-progress-from- our -village to the Ohio river, which will be completed in one year, when we can send our produce to market cheap. I wish some of your Balti more capitalists, who wish to embark in the iron business, would establish themselves in this section of country, as they would find it very profitable. We have here abund anee of water power, good ore, plenty of provisions, and will soon have a cheap and easy mode of sending the iron to market. . , _ 1 ours, respectfully, PontTors.—lt is said that ►n Ireland they keep their 'potatoes from deteriorating in kind, size and quality, by cutting from each potatoe for planting, a peculiar and ob vious eye which is surrounded by smaller eyes. The practice is said to have been introduced at Worcester, and pursued for sometime with success. Good potatoes have been lately dug in Maine—whence it is infered that they may keep very well in winter in their common hills.

By its application, according to accompanying direc. tions, the Corn is sotioned, attenuated, and drawn out by the roots, without the least pain, or any of the trouble and danger attending the hazardous and ineffectual practice of extracting the Corn by mere cutting. collo%;ing instances, from many others of a similar character, sntliciently attest to the suite. rior efficacy of the Alhion Corn Plaster: Mr. Farrar, of Boston, was a number of years distressed by a very painful Corn, had 'applied ev ery, thimi ' recommended without effect, and was rendered a perfeet cripple. On applying this Plaster he was perfectly cured of his Corn, and treed from his lameness. , A Gentleman of Ginentield was years afflicted with a very painful t 7 orli, and was cured by one box, allor every other plaster had been tried to no purimse Mr. Culler, of'lloston, was cured of a trouble some Corn by one box. Ccrlilicate. To those afflicted with Corns on their lee t, I do certify, that 1 have used the .I/hion ('or•n Piaster with complete success.
