HARVESTING PoTAToEs.--Thc Potato
cropsas far rs we had an opportunity to
examine, is very good this year, both as it
regards quantity and quality. Care should
be exercised in the harvesting, in order 10
preserve the good qualities that they now
have. There is danger of erring on either
hand, by digging too early before they are
fully matured, or by nos'poning i, until the
fall rains have saturated the earth, and the
potatoes have become uater clogScd and
spoiled.
One great fault, however, is exposing
the potatoes too long TO the warm sun. If
it be possible, they should not be exposed
to the light at all, but as this cannot be
avoided, they should be allowed 10 remain
exposed TO the light as little as they
can be while securing them. Digging and
putting them in whole in the common
way. where they can be preserved at a
uniform cool temperature until spring, pre-
serves their good qualities remarkably
well. In like manner if the cellar be warm
we have found it advisable to place sods
over them while in the bin SO as to prevent
the action Of heat as much as possible. and
prevent the change which invariabiy takes
place when not kept sufficiently cool.

A SINGULAR CAsE.-The last Boston
Medical and Surgical Journal contains a
wonderful account of an examination Of the
heart of a living person, through the cavi-
ty in the chest, by William Harvey, the
dscoverer of the circulation Of the blood.
The subject was young man of nineteen
years OF age, who, when child suffered
from u fracture of the ribs, which ulcera-
ted, and finally healed up, leaving the a.
perfure open. Over the hole small plate
was worn 10 prevent the parts from injury.
The heart and ventIces were handled by
Harvey, and without pain TO the subject,
whence he concluded that the heart is de-
prived of the sense of feeling.
