Tho cot potatoes were prepared j | month hofore planting, and I suppose, j ' at time of cutting, weighed about tweoty- | five per cent, more than at time of plant- ; ing. Tbe proportions might be five and j j respectively, though in the follow- 1 calculations the actual weight* an day I | of planting are observed : j The ground was spaded about six inches j i deep, ibe soil thrown out, tbe snb-soil ! - roughly broken, with a mattock, and ' coarse in .nure thrown in ; then tbe top soil was returned and rotted manure put j ' above and below the potatoes, with a mediate contact of potatoes with manure. | Tbe growth of the vines of tba whole potatoes from first appearance lo maturity, j ' were enormously in advance of tbeir com- I | pntitora. Both rows were dug on A agist j • 21. More smell potatoes appeared among j : those from tha row of whole ones. Kqual i lapge potatoes came from each low. j ] No rot with either.

Amplify- | ing tbe experiment, this gives us the yield of one acre; say seventy rows, each oM two hundred and li-u feet, eleven thou, j sand, two hundred aod twenty-cine pounds; j or one hundred and eighty-seven and a j ' Ibirty-six feel, seven pound send, re- I turned forly-five pounds of potatoes, equal 1 io six and iNree sevenths pounds for eucl. one pound plaoted ; or for each busbel ol . sixty pound* planted, three hundred and ' ! eighty-five end five-sevenlbs pounds ; or j '■ six and tbree-aeveulbs bushels ; and for ; tbo acre of seventy rows, of two buudred j hundred and seventy-five ponnds ; or tbree hundred and six aod a quarter bush- j els per acre.

The land of each ! waa said to ba worn out when 1 made lha ! purchases. Until recently, wbao maaur- ■ | ing laud, my practice baa been, invariably, . j to cover tbe manure with the plow, never I allowing it to remaio long oo the ground i | bolore plowing ia. If tbe land is to ba - j farmed io corn or other hoed crops that | root deep. 1 continue the practice af piow- . j log io the manure. It is put to heaps and ; spread an plowed ill. . | Wheal, aod all small graio, root oaar I tho surface, and require tbe manure nearer tbwfiip than when covered wilb the plow. , : I mauure my wheat after plowing, spreadr | ing in after tbo wheat ia sowo aod barrowr ing in together. I tbink the wheat standi i the winter batter, and grows stronger, than when tbe manure ia covered with tba ] | plow. It should be well rotted, so tbat f lit will mix freely with lha soil If tba ' land is laliow, it should be broken op deep, ; ! the manure plowed in very aballow, aud a tbo wheat put in with a drill. I never spread manure to remain oolite . I surfueo unless it be land laid down to grass 1 or under fruit trees. When it is thus apI. - plied to tbe surface, it should be dona io 1 the winter or very early in the spring, so j that tbe rains may soak ita virtues into - i the ground before the inn baa much infiar ' eticu. lo bauliog manure on land after ii ■ it has been plowed, care should ba taken l. 1 to crosa tbe field aa much a* possible la r rouda, so that tbey tnay b- plowad again • . iiclore lowing. — Rural American.
