I THE l'YIEl'tCHANT, FlUP:A.YLMAY 28, 1:875 POETRY. What of Thy Life. \Vha.t of thy Ll11'.E, 0 friend of mrne ~ FARM AND KITCHEN. Potato I Culture. S.1rr1e yea.rs ago we consulted Se\ ct al careful analyses of the potato, both tops and tubers 1and found it to be pecultarly a potash plant, though containing som1;i lune a.nd considerable soda,, 'Ve then made out a pre.actiption, which we thought lllc.:luded all the ingredient that th e potato plant requu~d, a.nd tr1!!d the experiJnent. The reanlt \Va:; remai:kable. After continuing the experiment twelve years in succession, on I the SA.me soil, ·we bcca1n3 fully satiafied tha.t the pota.to is JUSt what the chemists tell ua it is, a potash, lime and ao<la plant. In th11 region '\vb e:re we then lived, the potir toes "'ere of a 'ery inferior quality, wet <iind so&"tiY· Ou1 ol.JJect wa~ more to get those of /b "Dorl quality, d ty and tnealy, than to obto.111 Lugo crops. \:Ve thought it possible by ~iving the plant JUSt what tho chemists say lt IS inade uf, \VC might \Vln both in quantity an(~ quality. The result proved that the OOUJeoture was t rue. Our prescription was eight busheli! of wood ashes, four bushels of hot (1 ecent1y burnt) oyate.1 shell hme , two bushels of pl'l>stor, and one bushel of common salt, tor QDC acre of land. It 1111ght be well to enlarge each ing1edwnt for the first year. Afte.i the second year, each mtgbt be dnnin1s.h.e<l A little every year, so that in a few yea.rs the average per year, "ould become O.$ above ; tha.t is, JUSt Dfteen buahckl of the 1nixture yearly. That "\\ould Po euough 1 p10v1ded the tops , we1 e alwo..yl"'$ left to rot on the held, and thus thi ow back into the soil all that had been taken out to g1 ow the preceding crop, except the t;lnnll atnount c_arnetl off in tbo tubers.
