During the last two years have ex
amined numerous polaioe fields, and
invariably found the vines early in the
season completely covered with spe-
cies of flea, at late period the tops of
tie same vines appeared brown pre-
maturely. On cutting them open I
discovered small insect, having nu-
merous legs; and think they sucked
the sap which should have gone to the
nourishment Of the tubers. and the ros
consequently ensued.
In the year 1913 planted a field Of
several acres in drills. narrowed tbs
ground level, and top dressed i. with
lime and charcoal must. The WELD
was 342 bushels per acre; at the same
time the potatoes throughout the neigh
borhood were decayed. This year l
planted the same seed in the following
manner. The ground was thrown in
to drills and MANFRED heavily; the po-
tatoes were cut into sets of single eyes
fourteen days before required for plant
ing, and covered with plaster and lime.
They were then placed in the drill, 9
inches apart; tops. centres and ends
separately to mark tho difference in
growth: and each alternate three rows
then covered with different substances
such as lime. sulphaie Of ammonia, sill.
cafe Of potash, &c. When dug, they
Were all sound except few rows on
which nothing had been used except
The manure. And these were decayed
although received only three weeks be-
fore planting directly from France
The only reason that l can give why
my potatoes have escaped the 20. is,
that the above substances used in dress
ing them were offensive to the insect.

SIR WALTER SCOTT.

The following anecdote is related IN

The astonishing facility. rapidlty,
.,d carelessness with which he wrote
for the press, is not the least remarka'
hle feature in the history OF his works.

never saw them after they were sen! to
a nrin.ing office. This recalls to my
mind an anecdote in which Mr. James
R.llan,yne was concerned. Saving
hat the manner was little too theatrl-
oal James's reading from English
hooks. and particularly from poetry
were singularly delightful. His voice
was sonorous. his articulation was clear

mo library one day | found Mr. Ballan'
,vne reading. "Hermione," said he'

MANURR.-We cannot too deeply
impress upon the minds of those en-
gagged in Agricultural pursuits, The i'm
por,ance Of manuring their lands every
season. La the West-par!lcularly on
the prairies and openings, where the
soil is rich and deep-we often hear
our farmers saying that it is not neces-
sary for them to save their manure, or
60 to the trouble Of carting il upon the
land, il being already SO fertile tiat the
crops would be very heavy without ma
nuring. Every practical farmer VIII
acknowledge, if the land he cultiva!es
is very rich, that he naturally expects
great crops as the fruits Of his incessans
Toll: and if he continues 10 produce
grain, &C., every year, without adding
sus,enance 10 the soil, it il natural to-
conclude tina, il rapidly deteriora.es in
fertility and strength. Hence, too
much manure cannot be layished upon
forming or grazing lands.
Manure should always be under COW
er. This preserves its good. qualities
for much longer time than If it were
scattered about the. barn yard. Take
good care Of your msnure, and III the
Spring. be sure to cart it upon your
land. The increased value Of your
crops will more than repay you LOT 'nis
nifing expense.
