LIME FOR PoTAToE RnT
To the Editor of the Maine Farmer and Mechanic.

10 mo Editor OF tho Maine Farmer and Mechanic.
Sir:-In your paper Of the 2Oth of November
20, under the caption of "AmerIcan lns,itnte
Farmers Club" ! have been reported TO have said
10 respect to some experiment which made cor,
receive Of the disease in the Poatoe, which is in a
greater or less degree prevalent throughout the
civilized world, that the first application to the DO
tatoe "was weak solution Of the chloride of lime;
second, a saturated solution of the same third.
pure quick lime" This representation is incorrect
and calculated to misead, and produce injury, mas
much as the adoption of such treatment in detail
as set forth in the report, would be productive of
real mischief at least so far as saturated solution
OF the chloride of lime is concerned.
In the remarks which made at the Club stated
that had made three experiments, curative of the
dlsease in the potnoe.
The first consisted in suoiectinp them in their
diseased condition 10 a weak solution Of chloride of
lime in water, for twelve hours.
The second in sleeping them IN q saturated So
luton of common lime water made by putting a
lump Of recently burnt lime in water, for the same
length of time
And the third consisted in sprnkling the potatoes

ed on had been taken continued to decay, and
were finally thrown away.
The potatoes treated with weak solution of the
chloride of lime had shrunk considerably as had
those also, which had been sprinkled with dry
quick lime; but those which had been stepped in
common lime water were plump and in good order
for cooking From all which it follows First, that
the potatoes stepped for twelve hours in saturated
solution of recently burnt quick lime in water,
and then dried, were the best Second, that the
other two were shriveleI; those sprinkled with
dry quick lime the most so, but both after an ex-
posture to the air of about six weeks we're edible.
From these experiments, | have reason to be-
eve that the disease in the potatoe may be pre-
vented by a slight application of finely powdered
quick lime ashes at the planting, or first dressing
season; and recommend to farmers to make trial
of this simple and economical preventative.
Yours respectfully,
EDWARD CLARK.

New NOPE OF MAKING BUTTER. The Lord
Bishop of Kildare states that thirty years ago he
had formed the idea of butter churn, upon new
principle; but had not carried it nlo experiment
until within u few weeks past. He stotes his churn
is made of tin, and this fits into another tin cyn-
der provided with funnel and stopcock, SO as to
heat the cream to the proper temperature He has
forcing pump with glass tube, through which
he forces atmospheric air in full current, through
the cream at nearly the bottom Of the churn. The
pump is worked by hand winch
The experiments are as follows:
Sept 90. Fifteen gallons and two quarts of
cream operated on for two hours and ten minutes,
gave twenty six pounds Of delicious butter
Sept. 20. Ten gallons and two quarts, gave, in
two hours and ten minutes, twenty-three pounds of
butter.
Sept. 80. Twelve gallons and two quarts OF
cream in two hours and ten minutes, gave twenty
and one half pounds of butter.
Oct 3. Ten gallons and two quarts, in two hours,
twenty -one and half pounds of butter.
Del. IA. Ten gallons and"Two pin,s of cream
gave, in one hour and iorty-fve minutes, twenty
two pounds of butter.
The next Friday, eleven gallons of cream gave
in two hours, twenty six pounds Of butter.
The different results are ascribed to different
temperatures and qualities Of cream used.
The Bishop ascnbes the results by this process:
to the intimate introduction of the oxygen of The
air.

Trees had better be cut quite close to the ground,
whether the lot is intended to grow up again or to
be cleared. When there is great depth of snow
on the ground it is difficult to cut trees closely to
the ground, and we often see the stumps from two
to three feet high; but we think sufficient care IS
not generally taken to cut low. The best of the
wood TIMBER is generally next to the ground
If the land is to be cleared, the pillow and harrow
can be made to work nearer the stumps If they
are cut close to the grouud and the lot is intend
ed to grow up, the suckers or sprouts often come
ont on the sides the top, and the winds Of
ten break them off, or the stumps rot and they per-
sh. These remarks of course apply to hardwood
trees rcsinous ones never start from the stump.
