Sweet Potatoes, Keeping of, &c.
Editors Southern Cultivator :
Your.mogaziiic for October is before me,
and I see nu iuquiry about keeping
sweet potatoes. I find no difficulty, nnd
will give you my modo:
1st. I .-elect a piece of high dry land
on which to bed, (said piece of land
must be c;ose to the owner's dwelling.)
The land being selected, I take a shovel
and thrt w up a circular bed six feet in
diameter, a loot above the general level
and ii.it on top I fill my dumping cart
With potatoes, (it holds about four bar
rels?12 bushels.) drive right on this
bed, and taking off the hind gate, dump
tho potatoes just where I want them
Then I cover theso potatoes with corn
stalks, say one foot deep, except an air
hol?? at the top, and throw a pretty heavy
be.d of earth upou these stalks, leaving
the air hole opou, Over this potato
bank I place a chicken coop house?at
le iMt my CO VOM can be used for crops,
when the potatoes do not need them.
Put up that way. potatoes will keep till
late in the spring. When frost ir, done,
take them up, place on some tight floor
and they will ke<p till they dry up, but
hot rot.
"Subscriber" sends you a cure for
bot.??and I will give you another and a
Bure remedy :
Take half a pint whiskey, one tea
spurn full of chloroform, put in a piul
bottle and fi'l up with water and drench
your horse; in all probability he will
uot need the second bottle ; yet if not
relieved give a second dose, and where
the stomach is uot catou through by
them, the horse will be relieved.
For Mauge in Dogs?I have heard
that coul-oil Waggon greuss will relievo
it.
For Fleas, or any Insects?use carbol
ic soap ; a touch ol these so.ip suds will
kill any of the insect kind.
Cure for (labbage Worm. ? A little
cable s?tlt sprinkled on each cabbage ;
salt used on corn being housed from the
field will destroy the weevil. If any of
the readers of the Cultivator have ever
put weevil euteu coro in an old ? me .t. and
smoke house, tiny wid say that thejr"
oorn was left pretty. |4>un by those in
sects.
1 see turpentine recommended for
worms in hois; am glad to know it, bat
until copperas ftttlsij 1 shall not need it
I In this section but few hogs are reared?
and those few if turned on a Full pea
field and uot kih cd before spring, arc apt
to die nf kidney worms
To prevent it?give a feed of corn
weekly, soaked In a strong solution ol
copperas; and if u hog has the worm in
him, keep him on copperas so iked Com?
till you see the worms come from him.
Speaking of pea fields, what is a good
mr.r.c yield per acre of peas planted
ill com 7 KI - 'i t now I am thinking of
pen eiop, having several acres of the
vines cut. lying in the held ami the rain
pouring on them ; but I think they are
not lost to old u other Kurth on which
thcj lie Will you give the different
kind* of j eis used for stock and descrip
tion ol each t In this section there are
some kinds that will injurecattle. I want
to know t: e kiud that does not?..s I al
ways want to plant pcus in corn. I also
want my stock to lake the run ol the
field after the crop is gathered.
in this part of the South, scarcely
any corn and hut uttle cottuu has been
made. The sugar crop has not been
taken off and as yet we cannot tell tho
yield.
U. Ii. TANNER.
f hcncyvillr, La.
Tivc bushels to the acre is probably a
very foil estimare for peas planted in
corn. Wo bare known ten bwhels
?sade on bottom land, but on old upland ,
the yield often does not exceed one or
two bushels. We presume there is no
pea which will not kill stock under some
circumstances; as for instance whore
they have been on pretty short lations
fur some time, and then turned into a
pea field upon an empty stomach. Ani
mals thut havo been well fed and turned
iu upon a full stomach, so as not to gorge
not aptj to 8u,ffer, especially it they nave1
free access to water and are salted regu
larly. It is bc.<t Hi ways fo give" horte*
or hogs a little corn or some other feed,
whilst they are running op the pea, fields.
We should be very much obliged, to any
of our readers for an article on the dif
ferent kinds'of' peas) nnd their adapta
bility to different purposes.?F.d. So.

Small Farm Maxims.
1. Small farms arc cheaper and easier
to manage than large ones, aud pay hot
ter for the capital invested: Therefore
small farms ure best.
2. If you want to make your farm
pay you must give it your dailp, person-1
ul uttcution. But if your farm is too
largo you cannot do this; hence, as 1
said above, small farms are best.
I
3. If you do not want your farm to
run awuy, you must stop the little leaks.
We may expect fewer leaks on a small
place than u big one; hence again, small
lurina are best.
4. Feed your land well, and it will
feed you. It takes less to feed a fow
uere8 than a great many. So you see
small farms are bust.
5. If you would live long and enjoy
life, work a little then rest a little. But
if you have a large farm you must labor
j all tho time Here again, small farms
arc best.
G. To raise big coro you must keep
small grass. To make small grass you
must cut often. So iu this, we fiud
small farms tho best.
7. If you have a good ience, you need
fear uo loss by stock. But fences are
costly. Thus once more we find small
(arms ure the best.
8. If you waut good roads, and plen
' ty of schools, churches, aud mills, you
must have a dense population. If farms
are large this is impossible. Therefore,
1 declare small farms to b: tho best.i
0. Farms should increase iu value
year by year. It costs less to improve a
few acres than a great many. Here, as
before, small farms aro best.?Rural
Carolinian.
This is tho unique pattern of a Wes
tern personal: l,We are sorry to ro
ceivo No. 1 of the Comanche County
World. The World is badly printed and
has a sickly, poverty-stricken appear
ance. Mr. John Smith, its publisher, is
j an idiot. If the 'leading Hheu' of Co
manche Couuty uro responsible for the
foundation of, this paper, they ought, to
be {-cut to (ho penitentiary. _ Wc trust
that Mr. Smith will stop the publication
of his paper, find save his money."
: Hire is a good one on tin: "later
hugs." Three men were comparing
notes, bue says, '"There are two bugs
In nenrv crtull- " A uA/i/m it ...... tra
'They have cut down my early crop, aud
are sitting on the fence waiting for.the
lets crop to come.." '? Pshaw," said the
thild, uYoU dou't know anything : bout
it; I passed a seed store the other day,
and the bugs wcro there looking over
the books to'sce'who had purchasod seed
potatoes."
What can be welter than a woman
with a cataract in her eye, a waterfall
on her head, a creek in her back, forty
springs in her skirts, high-tied shoes,
and a notion in her head ?
Mr. Brooks writes from Japan that
the national food is fish. So much is
thought of the swimming creatares, that
on a ceitain festival day, every family
that has n boy born during tho year
