some living trophy of ita victorylovcr the subtle and dan

' is also the pleasantest and safest remedy that can be em

KEEPING SWEET POTATOES.
A Connecticut farmer (no great authority
on the sweet-potato question, to be sure, but
as good as can be on the subject of winter

the subect of preserving sweet-pojatoes ia
the words ensuing :
Ti e 1 4th day of October, 1854,1 dug a
bout o ne half bushel of sweet potatoespack -ed
them in two boxes, used dry plaster-of
parts lor packing, and placed them in a "
warm, dry room. On the 13th day of April,
'1855, I planted them. Every one wassoond
and as good as in the fall. Tbey came op,
and grew, as well as any I ever raised orp
saw in North Carolina. 1 write this above
