MORE OF THE POTATO ROT.

Not long age, we noticed corresp )ndence in the
Portland (Me.) Advertiser, relating to this fearful
disease, which was Of much interest. II appears
that farmer in North Yarmouth, undertook TO
prove that the potato rot was not caused by the
drought or moisture, cold or heat of this or the
past year, that it caused by cutting the seed,
or by an insect wounding the tops, or the prema-
tnre killing of the potatoes by mdew. rust or frost.
He says: " Last spring the thought struck me that
potatoes would. if left in the cellar through the
summer, produce new potatoes and accordingly,
to try the experiment, | laid few some drv tan
bark, in dry, dark place, in my cellar, Yeser.
day | took some of them out, and on examining
them. found quite number of new potatoes,
from the size of hens egg down to mite, and
on examining the new potatoes, found among and
upon some Of them precisely the same appearances
of the disease and rot, did in diseased and rotten
potatoes in the field, in its first stages Now, by
this you will that, il the disease in the potatoes
that send you, is the same as that confined to
those grown in the open air it is all folly to talk
about rust or heat. cutting the seed, &c. &C., for
none of these, presume, caused the rot fmong
those grown in my cellar"
Hence, the editor thinks, il appears to be aiact
established, contrary TO all, about all of the pub
lshed conjectures respecting the cause of the rot
that the malady is nothing more or less than dis
ease in the potato What say you, agriculturalists

SUBSTITUTE FOR THE POTATO.

We learn from the London Medical Times, that
at late meeting Of the Academy of Sciences in
Paris, it proposed, in consideration of the dis
ease in the potato, to introduce for cultivation in
Europe valuable South American plant as sub
slitute for that wholesome esculent The produC-
ton referred TO is the .4,rachia-an umbellil,rous
plant. Indigenous in New Granada, particularly in
the most temperate parts of the continent, where
the average temperture is from Is to 25 degrees r.
The arracha is generally three feet in height, its
radical leaves twelve to fifteen inches in ength,
numerous. biternate, doubly incised, dentate, on
long fStular petoles. The caulinar leaves are
smaller than the radical, which they resemble in
every other respect The flower is violet-colored
umbel; the petals oval, acuminated, and inflexed;
five stamens and two styles arising from disc of
the same color as the flower. The fruit IS an OBJ
long carpet marked with five ribs. The BLOOMING
season October. The root is the part which is 1sr
as an article of food in the country; it parti.i .
Of the nature of the carrot ard potato, being al d
Of intermediate substance between them. Each
plant furnishes from three to four pounds OF nntr
tious matter, one hectare yielding 40 less than
$4,000 poundsrof wholesome food, and Of course
great desideratum in the present failure Of the po
tato crop.

And great King Solomon now could rise,
He would open his eyes,
To see palaces moving in every broad stream
In the face of the storm BY the power OF steam;
And the arks Of the deep, by the same locomo,ion,
In less than two weeks walking over the ocean;
And stout iron horse snorting over the long vale,
Witha string of red cottages tied to his tall
Still Kissing and whzzing as onward he goes.
Leaving clear in the rear even the ft-winged

Would the glorious monarch of Israel express
His surprise lat the scene Of mndern-pann d battle
With its Kissing and bursting ofbonbs, and the rattle
And cl,shing of arms: and far in the height.
Where the smoke is illumed with quick flashes Of
The forty-twe FOUNDERS stern vollies of thunder
Spreading death in their path, andNSid panic and

These wonders would bring,
From the mouth of the King,
The confession that he would be willing for one,
To admit, there is s,mefhing ne,U under ihe sun.
But what would he say,
On observing wire,
Neither heavy, Dol strong,
Some forty miles long,
Az touched at one end by electrical fire,
Writing out at the other, in characters clear,
The news from afar and the news that is here'
This grand apparatus,
Which'fills the hiatus,

Has been set "by the powers"

In practical force;

On his pinions sublime,
Untiring, nor staying by day nor by night,
His onward, answering, perpetual fight;
For borne on a wire,

Leaving Baltimore city at set of the sun,
Would cross the vast distance, and reach Oregon,
Five hours before the dull earth in Its nation,
Had brought the suns disc to the great Western
