If the potatoes are of good size, cut them so as not to have more than two eyes in one cutting, but the largest potatoes will be obtained from one. Plant them in drills about one foot apart, using a little commer cial fertilizer as it is not only good for giving the plant a fair start, bnt also for driving away the worms which prey upon the potato when it nears maturity. Strong barn-yard manure, when placed in the hill, in a little apt to give a rank taste to the potato. Of the different varieties few are better than the Early Rose. The Early Vermont is clairmed to be about ton days earlier than the rose, but whoi upon the table it is a iaatter of doubt whether any one can tell the fillerence. The Olio ranks among the early varieties, and has been tested with the Early Rose aud Ver mont; and of those who have tried them all, if the question were put to the vote, the much-lauded Ohio would not have a greater number of friends than the oth er two varieties, but the price at which the several seceds are hold over mere common sorts will proviiut thom for a year or two from coming into general culture.

GOAT DAIRIE.-A Gouat Society is in existeuce in Englind, not a society of goats, of courso, but. of gentlemen in terested in these animals, on account of the uutritious aid curative properties of goats' milk. Tile secretary of the wecloty says that twelve years ago few g ats could be fount which would give 1Aoro thau a quart a day;but now,owing to the care which has been expewlet upon their breetinag, spec'imtens are pro dineed which 1will yiehlt three or even four times that. quantity. Some ai mais coniiiiiwd prices ranging between live andt ten pounds, atid when once ae quired are found so valuable that they are not readily parted with.

AN English gartdener, Mr. Bai'nes, of Devonshire, in giving an opinion of the importance of hoeing, said ho dhd not agree with those wh'lo say that one goodl weetding is worth two hoeings. I say, never weed ainy crop) in wh.'ichl a hoo~ can be got between the plants, not so much for the sako of destroying the wo'udls and v'ermin, which must necessarily be the the case if the hoeing be done well, as for increasing the porosity of the soil to allow the water antd ait' to penoc trate fr< ely through it." Hie adtis; "'I ant well convinced, by long and close piractiee, that oftentimes there is more betneit, derived by crops from keeping them well hoed than there is from the manure aipplied.

Prie Sognts The power of sea wave' In breaking up heavy masses of masonry has been remarkably attested in the case of the breakwater at Wick, on the coast of England. The height of the waves at this place was several times measured or estimated, the result being about forty-two feet from crest to hollow, and stones of eight and ten tons of weight werr by such waves carried from the parapet to the top of the breakwater. This led to the cons traction of the out ward extremity of the breakwater by depositing three courses of one-hundred ton blocks of stoue on the rubble base as a foundation for three courses of large flat stones, surmounted by a mon olith of cemented rubble built on the spot; the end of the breakwater was thus, In substance, a monolith weighing upward of eight hundred tons, being about twenty-six by forty-five feet and eleven feet in thickness, ceimented to the rubble mass below, But even this huge monolithic structure succumbed to the force of the waves, being slewed around by successive strokes, until it was finally removed and deposited--a body of nearly fourteen hundred tons Insido of the pier, without breaking.

A Western exchange gives an inter eating account of the method recently adopted by Mr. J. Townsend, of Vir ginia City to run a number of arastras by sand. The arastras are placed in a light sandy field where only suffloient water for drinking purposo and to moisten the ore to be operated upon can be obtained, The sand drives a large overshot wheel, taking the place of water. It was at first Mr. Townsend's intention to run the arastras by moans of a large windmill, bnt as the speed was naturally irregular he adopted the present method. The windmill now runs a belt gontaning a number of buckets, and these carry sand up to a large tank somewhat in the way that grain elevators carry wheat. A stream of sand being lot out upon the overshot wheel causes it to revolve, just as it would under the weight of a stream of water, and thus far the method is said to have been found very successful. When there is a considerable wind, sand is stored up for use when calms prevail, and in this manner the mills may run continionsly. Throat, Bronclital, and Lung Diseases a slecialty.
