POTATOES.
Mr. Daniel 1. Curtis. in a letter to thd
Editors of the Caltivator. expresses the
opiniion thit too much seed is generally
used in planting Irish potatoes. The con
sequence is a great many small potatoes,
instead of a lesser number and greater
weight or good ones. This opinion. long
entertained. has been, lie says. confirmed
by experiments made duriifg the last sea
sm, which he presents in the following
tahular form:
"No. 1-All large potatoes, bad in num.
ber. 3W. weight40 j lbs.
"No. 2-SIx eyes in hill. cut from large
potatoers. 292. weight :9i j lbs.
"No. 3-Foureyes in hill, cut from large
potatoes. 220. veight 44 j Ihs,

there are generally several undersized and

P OTATOIs ON A ROCK.
In corrobioration of the trutha of the "New
Discovery in Agricaulture," or the produc
tion maf crops without earth or tillage, Mtr.
Grecly of thec N. Y. Tribaune gives the fol
luintg as relatedl to him bay a respectable
farmer: "A portion of his farm was bare .
rock, which, int view of thte small amouta -
of laboar lhe bestowed upon it, he mnade the
mfost ptroductive. Int the spring of the
year hte laid dlowna or planted his potatoes
ont thais rock, and coverinig them over with
straw, paid no more attention to them un
til frall, whena bo merely raked olT te dry
straw, and exposed a most abtatdant crop
of the fittest qusality. The advantages of
this tmethod of raising potatoca arc. I. No
plowing. 2. No hoeing. 3. No diggintg :tbe
rake only being required. 4. They are
perfectl1y dry ; and 5. They are perfectlj
clean."
