Mr Freeman CGary, in giving his experience in sweet potato culture t before the Cincinnati Horticultu- i ral Society, said: Last year I cultivated twenty acres in sweet potatoes; but this year I will have but fifteen. I t grow the plants by artifici:n. heat, raise an arch of sheet iron over which I construct a chamber, fill with soil three inches deep, upon which place the tubers, and then cover with soil to the same depth. t More plants can be produced with this kind of a hot bed raised to ninety degrees, than by manure. I I get from- four to. six thousand v plants from a bushel of seed. The i _p)auts should be allowed to grow! I until they b, gin to vine, as they become more hardy. and will stand I transplanting better. I allow my ground to remain growing weeds until planting time, t when I plough choosing that con dition of the soil when it will break Up the most mellow going only four , or five inches deep. I harrow with e a harrow eleven feet in width, having seventy-two teeth. Fur row with a t>arshare plough as for v corn planting, three and one-half c feet apart, and throw up into ~ ridges all the intervening soil. If the weather is dr-y, puddle the1 plants; if not set them out just as they come from the hot bed; place them in perpendicular, not sloping as many do; ress the -=soil closely ab->ut the plant justa above the rootlets, and draw some i loose soil about the plant.u Use only the hands in planting;e have nothing to do with paddles or sticks, or you will leave cavities about the roots, where the soil I will not touch them, and they will -wither or -die. As soon as the C plants gret well started to grow ing -and before the weeds become large plough with barshare plough b towing the base of the ridges back leaving them about eight inches broad, then hoe wvhat re-t * mains of the ridges, shaving offe the weds, and not digging deep t -as the Germans do, by which thei young roots are disturbed. In a fews days plough back the soil to the ridges. After this a few 'hoeings t - to keep down the weeds will be sufficient. Mr. Gary said his s'u was a * sandy loam which lie maturesi., anda -does not care what previous cropa may have been grown on it. Hieb gets about a huntdred bushels mar ketable potatoes from the acre. b THE NECESs1TY OF CRASS CUL TU;RE.-The cultivation of grasses and forage'plants is an indipensa- ~ *ble attribute of prosperity. Why are the lands of Kentucky and Ohio so much more~ valuable than these K of the cotton states, when we can produce a commercial article of. prime uiccessity worth twice as much per acre as their products ? It is because we disregard rotation, ex- I clude every c.aher crop but cotton and base all our chances of success_ upon a single card. In an ag icu tural point of view grass is thee greatest boon ever donated to man- a It grows unceasing!y day and night, wet and dry, cold and hot, and I furnishes the cheapest stock feed I extant. I have had hogs from It seven to nine mnonths old, weighing, 230 pounds, and yet they had 1 never tasted anything but grass. The land should be well drained, j and if not sufficiently rolling to drain naturally, it must beC done artificially. Water must, under no circumstances, be permitted to stand on land devoted to grass cul-j ture, else the grasses sown will be destroyed in such places, and( "wire grass" will furnish a substitute as C unrftbea t sudsrbe Thproer pri i eparanofe. land iper preiprance of th woud se one-rime imprtning plow runn tadpho he ufu would use a one-horse turning plow, ennnine at a denth of three to four 9 ,arly winter is more certain to ,atch when sown on stubble, the rash serving to protect it while 7oung, yet this is not neat farming tild should only be practiced in Zas.s of emergency. Occasionally xe bar-e w,et weather in Aiigst Wd September, and grass can then )e sown in corn or cotton, and by _iristnas a good pasture will be >btaind, provid.d the ground is .ot too wet for pasturage at that :ine. The most preferable method s, however, to thoroughly prepare Jhe land as above (lescribed ; the ?Xeptions to the general rule hould only be used when better ,reparation cannot be obtained.

PUTTIN Tiixus AwAY.-Do wo nen ever thiuk how much time they Iped in picking up and putting away? )f course we do not mean to intimate hat it is wasted. or that all this work s done unnecessarily. Women have vast amount of such work to per rm, and few wen realize its extent, r its necess!y until sonic accident or ircumstances brings it home to hem. A married man said once, that he 1"ever realized the 'amount of work lone in bringing things out and put ing them away, until hc happened to it idly watching the oper-tion of set ing the table-"getting tea," as it ras called, at a neighbor's house, wash ng the dishes and clearing them away. t struck him, for the first time, how auch real labor had to be done in lift ng and carrying between table and antry and he determined to lessen uch labor in his house as much as 0ossible, by constructing a kitchen in is house with every facility and con enience. He thought, with a sort of onsternation, if one "tea" requires hat amount of labor, what must he work of a house fRr a lifetime ount to ? A very pretty problem rhich we should like to have auswer d. It is a fact, however, that "putting ings .away" becomes a sort of mania rith some neat housewives, and not ly gives them a #vast amount of rouble. but sours their temper, and 3a source of annoyance to every mem er of the family. From a habit prob bly of being upon one spot all the ie, eternally seeing and doing the ae things. it becomes a.sort of ma iia, and is ini fact a symptom of dis-. ase. We think a good plan, in such case, would be, for the husband to usist on his wife taking a journey, aaking a visit home, or spending a ouple of weeks at a watering place. 'he change of scene, the breaking up f the monotony of life would do her world of good. 11cr ideas would be onie enlarged ; her thoughts travel ut of their accustomed routine, and hen she returned she would take up ife less as a burden, and more as a bas :et of flowers, from which it is possi le to extract beauty and fragrance. SoILNG.-A correspondent of he Practical Farmer gives an ac ount of what lie produced from wo and a half acres of land, put a first-rate order, and used for oiling and root growing. The land ras used from August 1, 1871, to he end of the season of 1874: The corn fodder, green rye (for utumnn use) and white mustard, urnished food for twenty-five cows nd two oxen for one month. In ddition to this he raised 480 uhels of round turnips, the same uantity of beets, 250 bushels ruta agas. When dairymen learn to roduce such an amount of fodder o an acr'e, a fifty-acre farm will arry as many cows as 200 acres .nder the wasteful system of three o four acres to pasture a cow. If airymen would study the best ethod, supporting more cows on heir small farms, instead of buy og more land to be spoiled by half ilage, they would make an imi >rovment in the right direction. GIRLS FOR FARM BOOK KEEPERS. -An old farmier says: My daughter keeps my farm ac ounts, sir; and she is as systematic nd particumlar as ever my son was, rho kept them before lie left home. tell you it does girls (anid he might ave added boys also) good to give hem sonme responsibility, and set them a watching things about the farm and ousehold. They learn, I -find, econ my by it, and soon discover that their d father is not necessarily, a crabbed d curmudgeon, because he does. not osen his purse-string whenever they e something they happen to fancy, r they discover the reason why the urse should not be opened. COTTAGE PCmGxo.-One pint of our, two eggs, one cupful of pound. d sugar, one cupful of milk, half a tea pooful of soda, one teaspoon of cream irtar dissolved in a little milk, one ablespoonful of melted butter.

Gazette: The print ing office devil of twenty ~year. ago-what has become of him? everybody knew him as the sootN faced, dirty handed little imp wh( swept out, built the fires, blacke the boss' boots, and with them ev Cry accessible patch of his own un Covered hide; who, to get rid 0 nursing baby, made a most fiend ish use of pins; who, for diver., reasons (and turpentine,) conl never bguile the house-dog be yond the dooryard ; who outrageI the confidence of his playmate. I by selling them roller compositior for jujube paste; who, with , gracious show of liberality, wouk grive the "country boy" all the re ink he could carry in the pochel of his new pantaloons and whc could with more certainty thar any other animal living, dodge f boot-jac&-this dvil is, alas! t thing of the past. Ink-besmeared rollicking, gluttonous, one-suspen dered, no-shoestringo little wretch he was with all his faults, patieni under the stress of cuffed ears and cold vietnals; and, by almost every printing office of the land, believe to be an absolute ntecessity. Bul alas! with the march of events, h( has been swept away-with the sickle, the flail and the shove] plow, he is only of the past and likc them is a thing-only of mem. ory. The editor of the Gazett knew him. has seen him emergE froni his estate of dirt and cussed. ne-s to the excellence of honored manhood, or to sink to the still lower plane of vice and debauch ery. We know the moral and physical little wriggler, and reacli out now over an intervening chasrr of twenty years or more to fold the dirty little devil to our mental bosom, and to bless him for thc characteristics through which hE won and delightedly maintained his appropriate appellation. A PLAGUE OF RATS.-A Rangoor correspondent o f t he Londor Times writes to that journal as fol lows: While Bengal has lately struggled'tbrough a famine crisis, the Kurens country, lying on th< confines of Burmah proper, has narrowly escaped a crisis of the same kind, but in this instancc rats, and not drought were the cause of the scarcity. It appears that certain parts of Burmah are periodic.ally visited by a pla~gue of rats. Hosts of them march a cross country, and attack the root~ of the crops and grain in the vil lages, and actually dri.ve out thc people and cause whole villages to be deserted by their depreda tions. Such a p!iague had appearec near Toungboo, and some suffering had arisen in consegnence, but the government appear to havc provided food for those in want of it, and all fear of famine is now~ averted. A forester, but a few weeks since, as he was going tc visit the teak forests rented by a1 large firm in Bombay, witnessed the passage of an army of~ rats as they crossed the Sittang. Hc was at that time gliding dowr stream in his boat. and the boat man called his attention to a large black mass swarming down thec high baniks. They turned out te be rats, and as- they swam across the river they kept a kind of mil. itary formation. IIe represents their number to have been my. riads. They passed close to the boat, and were large field rats. The late Dr. Mason. in his book on Burmnah, mentions the plague they were to the country, but nn til the depredations had spread to such a large extent as they did last year their presence was igno red. It appears that they gener ally keep near hilly country, and s(:our the p)lain)s at seasons whet the nuts or fruits in the hills fai] them. One of the late New York illus trated humorous papers has an ir resistible cut. Thlis is the scene An old gentleman is walking in~ his garden. Presently the milk man comes along outside the higL garden wall, and gives his cus tomary yell. Old gentleman heari something, but, being very deaf is unable to make out just wvhat i wanted ; so he puts his ear trumn pet in p)lace, and elevating th( bell end of it over the wall, ex* claims: "Here !" Milkman taket it for a dish, empties the quart o: milk into the old gentleman's eai and goes on about his business.
