Disease OF PoTAToBs. - Gen. TalImadg &c

was the greatest enemy Of the farmer, and
is now so scarce as to be almost unaltain-

suggested that our farmers raise potstoes

seek new kinds of potatoes in Mexico and

SEED FOR PoTAToEs.-Too much Deepen.
dence is placed on obtaining new varieties
Of potatoes from the seed, with view to
prevent the rot. If the seed be selected
from hardy varieties, that are known to
resist the disease better than other kinds,
some advantage may DO gained. But the
idea that the seed from a very tender va
risty will produce a hardy kind, is as alb
surd as it is to suppose that the offspring Of
a feeble, degenerate race of animals will
be sIroOg and healthy. The general law
ofnaIure is that like produces like. There
fore it iS important to select seed from a
hardy race, and it would be we'll to plant
several hardy sorts together, and then Sc
lect them, as in this way an improvement
might be,made by crossing. -Philadelphia

AGRICULT URAL AND OTHER ITEMS.
CORN ANp CORN MEAL COOKED.

There can be no safer position assumed,
in agricultural economy, thau that there is
a most important saving effected by cook
Jog food Science has long since demonstra-
ted The fact, that quantity as we'll as quail
ty, is highly essential to the preservation
Of health; hence the cOrolary is irreslstl-
BILE, we think, that both corn and msa Of
whatever description, as we'll as oats, bar
ley and every other species of grain, is
greatly increased IN value by cooking when
used as food for stock. This will be more
manifest, admitting the first position 10 be
correct, when we state the obvious and
we'll known fact, that corn, by boiling, is
increased two hundred per cent, in bulk
corn meal, three hundred per cent-that is,
to be more explicit, bushel Of northern
corn, after being steamed or boiled, will
measure three bushels. A bushel of corn
meal absorbs in the process of cooking, or
rather requires for the accomplishment Of
that object, nearly five bushels of water
enough Of the liquid being taking 10 or abb
sorbed, to increase in its bulk from one
busheI to four and a half. Every pound
Of meal, therefore, will make four and
half pounds of mush. These facts, we
think, should go far towards aiding the in
PRODUCTION Of cooking food as a common
practice, as they certainly exhibit it's ad,
