Remedy for the Potato Rot,

In 1916, one of the editors of this paper plant
ed potatoes on land MANFRED with morocco tan
ner's manure, which contains a good deal Of
lime. The crop was healthy and good while
other fields in the vicinity were diseased In
considering what it was in the tanners manure,
that protected the potatoes from disease, he came
to the conclusion that it was lime. Accordingly,
in the spring of lS47, after his potatoes were up
and ready for the first hoeing, he put about a
pint of shell lime (slackened) on each hill, hav-
ing previous to planting, plowed in moderate
dressing of stable manure. The result was 200
bushels Of the finest potatoes to the acre-mealy
and sound, on land naturally poor and sandy
They continue good and sound. We were a.
bout to state these facts for the benefit of Others
when we met with the following in the American
Agriculturist fol. January, I848.
"Here is a remedy against the rot, which SO
far as we have heard, has proved nfalIhle. We
have published it twice already in the Agricultu-
ralist, but not one farmer out of thousand
seems to have heard of it; for the special bene-
Green-Mountain freeman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1844-1884, 1848-05-25

fit, therefore, for the ignorant nine hundred and
ninety-nne, we intend to insert the remedy two
or three times more. 1t is simply this:
When the seed is dropped, sprinkle about
pint of Stacked lime over it in each HILL and then
cover it.
There is value about the lime, if it does not
prevent the rot in the potato, it will be worth its
cost and the labor of application in fertillzing
the land"
The mode of applying the lime, or rather the
time of doing it, recommended by the Agrcul-
turalist, is different from ours, and may possibly
be the best, though we are not sure of it. We
would prefer that the lime should not come in
immediate contact with either the seed or the
vines In addition to the remark of the Agri-
cuturalist as to the value of lime as manure,
even if it does not protect from disease, we would
observe, that it is especially adapted to the pota-
to- imparting to the tubers that ingredient which
makes them mealy, and which is particularly
needed on sandy soils Potatoes of the first
quality are now worth rs cents and upwards per
bushel, and will probably be dollar in the
Spring. At these prices, they are the most pro-
ftable crop that can be raised. But if the APP
plication of lime is as eficacious as we suppose,
and if it should be generally adopted, the price
would come down nearly to its former level.-N

Farm Work for May.

May is at hand Lovely May-ts sunny face
and mild demeanor-the month of hope, OF prom
Use, of flowers and sweet fragrance
May is the great planting month OF the New
ENGLAND States. 1t is the busiest of the year,
save July. Stir up the boys, the teams, the soil,
and the compost. Keep stirring through the
month of MAY, for when June cometh few men
will plant.
We have had dry April, quite favorable to
the business of sowing spring graln-for all
kinds of English grain are better when sowed
early. Oats may do better than rye and wheat
sown late, but late oats are never so heavy as
those sown early
Farmers are now adopting the practice of
planting their potatoes earlier than their corn
Those who planted earliest last year succeeded
best. and suffered least from rot
Corn ought to be planted as early as the mid
did of May to insure it against frosts, that often
come here in September, and generally by the
middle of that month. Yet we sometimes OBJ
tain good crops when we plant as late as the Goth
ofMay Small corn, Of the Canada kinds, rpens
when planted as late as June.
Hon. shall we apply the manure? Shall we
take plough, furrow out the land both ways,
and nut a shovefu into each HILL where the
WORMS VIII SdLHGI lOI WdIiHtiIS anu IHC win
for dinnerl Shall we contrive to let the corn
have all the manure in the fore part Of the season.
or place it where it will minge with the soil and
induce the roots to extend far over the whole
ground!
Farmers practice variously, Some allowance
is to be made for cold and Clayey soil; for
there the corn is prone to lie and be late unless
some stmuents is applied to the hills But
warm sandy soils have not the same need in the
early part of summer, and great numbers of
farmers on such lands are in the practice Of
spreading all the manure broadcast and mixing
it with the soil. This number is fast increas
ing
They generally succeed better in this way
and with much less labor And all will agree
that the land is put in better condition for the
succeeding crop than when the manure is all put
in the hills.
Should seed corn be steepcd? Large stories
are told of the advantages of sleeping. 1t has
been seriously asserted that the seed may be SC
impregnated before planting as to save all trouble
Of putting manure on the ground. Liquor from
guano has been recommended saltpetre pickle
also. But it is dangerous practice to swell
seed corn before it is planted. We sometimes
do it to supply vacant hills, after the ground has
become warm but generally we find it safes
and best to drop dry seed and let it swell gradu
ally in the sol.-MasSachUSe Plovmdn

Mr., EIlsWOnh's Experiments.

made visit, (says Scion Robinson, in the
Agricuturist,) to Henry L. Ellsworth, one day
last month. lie is now resident of La Fayette,
Indiana, where he is farming pretty largely on
the West Prairie, about seven miles out, on
which he has thousand acres of Indian corn in
one field.
Mr. Ellsworth is as full of enthusiasm as ever,
and no less busy than he was in his Office at
Washington lie is owner and manager of an
amount of land, which he is selling leasing and
improving, and which, together with all the bu-
siness operations that he is carrying on, keeps
his office crowded with the multitude who deal
with him. Yet he finds time to be continually
trying some experiment, or studying out some
improvement for the agricultural community.
| saw SIX pigs, in as many pens Just big enough
to hold each occupant without exercise which
he was feeding on corn in the ear, corn ground,
but fed raw, and corn meal made into mush-
two upon each kind. The pigs were all alike in
age, Breed size and weight when commenced
with, and after being fed certain time with
carefully weighed quantities of food, they are
re-weghed and weights noted, and then those
which had been fed upon one kind, are changed
to another, and SO on; and when the experiment
is completed, he assured me he would publish
the table. The experiment thus far is very
largely in favor of mush bidding fair to produce
enough to pay toll and trouble of grinding, as
we'll as for cooking, and leave profit The
number of pounds of good mush, that one hun
bred of meal, well worked, will make, is aston
ishing to any one who has never thought much,
if any, short of six hundred pounds Mr. Ellis.
worth's kettle holds just fourteen of meal at q
charge, and several accurate weghings give ovel
eighty pounds, when well cooked, and l saw my.
self that no more water was used than the meal
would absorb But it must be cooked-not
merely scalded. little salt is added, and oc-
casonally little sulphur.
Mr.. Ellsworth told me that he had proved the
mooted point of nutritive food in corn cobs.-
He says; "Hogs will live and thrive upon well
ground corn cob meal alone At first they did
not take hold. l then added small quantity Of
meal of the grain, principally to make the mass
ferment quicker and then they eat the whole
and did well. had great difficulty in getting
the cobs ground. Millers are so well satisfied
in their own minds that cobs are good for moth
ing, that they are not willing to let the expert.
ment be tried whether they are nourishing OF
not / am satisfied that twenty-five pounds oil
corn meal added to one hundred of cob meal, is
more valuable for iced for growing stock thar
seventy pounds Of corn meal alone" Such i.
the language of Mr. Ellsworth Experiments o
this kind should be further tried. One-fourth o
the weight of bushel of ears of corn, Nature
never intended should be thrown away, and cob
upon large corn farms in the West are LITERAL,
thrown away. They are neither used for food
fuel, feed nor manure; for the latter is consider.
ed nuisance.
