TIic Potato Fever.
There appears to be a xrfect fever
!n the subject of seedling potatoes,
especially among our friends iu Ver
,'nonL According to the rejwrts of
wIph and values it exceeds anything
;lf the kind before- known, and leaves
rtho Jlohan speculation hopelessly in
theshade. At the same rate of progress
;jt Will not be long ere the tulip mania
.o thestoIidDuchmen will ceae to head
the list-of tuberous speculations. Of
'the Latent acquisition in thepotatodiue

ness, it is stated that a man who paid
lat year $20 for one eye, raised from it
,thcpast season, potatoes for which he
liiati realized $75U cash, and has three
potatoes left.
!, Yhile in New York, a few weeks
iaeet we were assured by a gentleman,
nmewhat ' interested in agricultural
Circulations, that he had offered for
ftuifj! jotatoc of a new varietj'

the ptato may be inferred when we
add that the offer of our acquaintance
was refused. ILt.
The best gait ahorse ever hnd f r

gait not one in ten possesses. Colts

more speed. Kentucky has more good
wt-Ikh-rr horses than any other State,
for there horseback traveling has long
been in fashion for men and woman
over a country, where muJdy roads at
times render any otucr gaitlm possible,
and so horses have been bred to the
saddle and traiued to a walking gait.
This is also the case in all the "Western

Prepare Scetls for riaudng.
Duringthe comparative leisure time
of winter the farmer thould do every
thing he can Xo shoiteiK.his work Li

upon him, and he will be tempted to
do some tilings slightly.
Procuring seeds is sometimes atten
ded with diiUculty, and requires time
that would hardly be missed now, but
would be a' very serious loss in plant
ing time. To illustrate: Your oats
last year were mixed with foul seed,
and at the county fair1 3'ou'saw sam
ples of very fine oats exhibited by a
man who "lives ten miles from, you,
and who has seed to sell. Yoirueci-
ded to buy your seed oats of hipi.
With very little troublS j-ou can now
get them, and have them ready against
the time of sowing; but if you wait
till that time your team must be taken
from the field for a dajvthe roads may
be almost impassable, and there is a
chance that the oats will all be sold
before you get there, and after all you
will be compelled to go home and so"w
yourown oats and weed seed.' "To
avoid any such dilemma let all the
seed needed for the coming season be
secured at once. Care should be ex
ercised in this matter, especially in
selecting grass seed; look sharp for
sorrel among clover seed ; get the pur
est, if vwj hare to pay a high price for
ft.
. It is a good plan for farmers who
live some miles apart, and on different
kinds of soil, to exchange seed; es
pecially is this true of potatoes y in
some cases it makes a difference in the
crop almost as marked as in crossing
the breeds of animals.
If you live far from a store you
should supply every deficiency in your
stock of garden seeds the first oppor
tunity, and test the seed by sowing in
a box prcjared for the purpose, and
kept in the house. &t. Louis Journal
of Agriculture
Save the Native Osage Orange.
During the time of the greatscarcity
of the Texas Osage Orange seed, on
account of the war, the Prairie Par
mer suggested the feasibility of mak
ing the most of the seed that grew
upon Osage of our own part of the
country. A great many people who
lived in the neighborhood of neglected
hedges, whose -plants had grown up
into bearing trees, profited by the sug
gestion and secured considerable seed
that proved very valuable. This prac
tice has been kept up in many locali
ties, but still much seed goes to waste
that might much better be made use
of in these dajrs of hedge planting.
It is an easy matter to gather the or
anges, and not a great deal of trouble
to get out and preserve the seed. If
the oranges are subjected to freezing
and thawing during winter, they be
come 'soft,--and the seeds arei easily
separated' by washing in water. Then,
if not wanted for immediate planting,
it should be properly dried without
heatingor moulding, and is of as much
value as that brotigh from the South,
and some contend, some better. .
In 1SG4 Mr. C. K. Overman wrote
the Prairie Farmer:
"It may relieve the anxiety of the
prairie farmers to know that there is
a fair prospect of having a sufficienej'
of seed for the eouatjy, grown on
prairie soil in a few years, at farthest.
Had we known, on "its first introduc
tion, that the . seed would, certainly
mature, and especially could we have
apprehended the present emergency,
we should now have - have an abund
ant supply of home grown seed, and
the rebellion could not in anywise
have interfered with the great enter
prise of live feaeiiig. on the-prairies."
Hoards ami Kalis for Fodder.
Farmers are sometimes annoyed by
their cattle gnawing boards, bones, &c.
We do not prooose to rrind ud "boards
and nails for fodder1' and give it to
animals with such a perverted taste.
We were thinking merely how much
fodder might be saved iu many barns
by a dose of boards and nails adminis
tered, not to the cattle, but to the barn
in which cows and other animals are
kept. Not long since, while looking
over tnc premises or a neat ano
thoughtful farmer, and admiring his
warux stable,' pig-pen' and slujdrfor
manure, he remarked "that little
funny --article in your paper .about
boards saving hay, written- bj'dme
ixKly ltuius JSutting, .sq., in Kan-
dolph, Vermont, "was 'worth- a :yoti.tU
subscription to- me. . It is strange."
he continued, "tiiatso lew tanners in
this cold: country provide a warm
place for their stock. ' Those .wh6
read Mr. N.'s article will remember
that he estimated that in many cases
two dollars worth of boards and nails
might save in expense of fodder, and
by the Increase ot the milk oi say rive
cows, nlty dollars in one xiuivurea
winter days. Alter the ends and oacK
tide of the stable were made f uCicienty
tight, he recommended that" a few
boards - be hinged on in front,- so that
in severe weather the stable may be
entirely enclosed, or left open when
the weather is milder.
For closing crevices in underpining,
&c, the Prairie farmer recommends a
mortar of lime and sand or ashes,
using hogs' bristles' instead of hair,
to give it the greater tenacity, and fill
tliis into the cracks with a trowel.
But this is, as In other things, where
there is a will there is a way, and
those who believe that fodder can be
saved and health promoted by Shelter
and warmth, will find little trouble in
securing them, by stopping the cracks
Riid shutting out the cold, so that ma
nure will not freeze where cattle lie.
W. E. Farmer "
Martin county, Iud., has a family
named Cross, and the fact of Mrs. CrWs
having given liirth to a daughter for
the eleventh time, has made Mr. Cross
unusually cross. . On the last occasion,
Mr. Cross observed to his wife:
"Amelia Jane, this is not to be borne !"
"But it is born," , replied, hi wife,
meekly. "Don't be cross, my love;
wo all have our little crosses to bear."
Mr. Cross groaned in bitterness of
spirit. "Amelia Jane, this has been
going on long enough; if you have
any more little crosses to bear, I wen't
blip you iiupiKjrl them."
