QUICKLIME APPLIED TO POTATOESI—PREVENTIVE
OF oorresponsteut of the Revue Hortieole for
December I, ststoe that • cultivator of the potata upon
quite a large scale, at Perigueux, has prevented the rot
on a soil " of ailex and elay," by planting in a sufficient
quantity of yikkllliso slacked to a powder, to surrotind
the tuber completely, and prevent its coming Into im-
mediate contact with the toll, thus requiring a shovelful
to the hill. After having seVerd times repeated the
trial, it is moreover claimed by the experimenter that
the tubers thus grown in lime are not only free from
the malady them . eelves but else that they may be
planted afterwards in the usual manner, or with no
more lime than is ordinary employed. without danger
of the attack of the rot upon their futttre produota,

and anxiety of the whole country. With the exception
of a man at either end of the platform, stationed to
receive the contributions of visitors, the heap is entirely
deserted by the people belonging to the colliery. A
number of tin caw, bottles, &a., brought up from the
pit, still remain uoelaimed, and are especial objects of
interest to strangers. sorrow still holds her seat in the
village, the many drawn blinds yet to be seen being but
too clearly indicative of the intensity of grief which
