REPLY TO LITTLE FARMER. , FOR THE AUATOK. Hills of Ttillahatchk Co., Miss., Jan. 15, 1857. Mr. Editor: I wish to enter my pro test against the anti-emigrant senti "moiits of " Little Farjiicr," of "Potato Diggins," given in the December No. 1850. Your motto I admire, but he has certainly gone beyond the mean ing of the text. Suffer me, therefore, to follow him a short distance, and I will leave him by telling my mode of keeping potatoes, whiclu has proven good for four years.

Set in figures the a mdnnt of that " a little extra industry and attention.' Tell us, also, how mqi- ny acres Mr. A's pig pens have improv ed. permanently. J am extremely fond ; of pork and turnips," and as I have just had a mess and am in quite a good hu mor, we will say, that, for a little farm er, you exhibit much knowledge oi tno vast number of farms south of Mason and Dixon's line.
