bis host, was an experiment made in
consequence of observing that part of
worm eaten timber, into which nails
had been driven, were generally sound.
When his trees were about a year old,
he had selected three of them and dri-
ven a ten penny nail through the body
as near the ground as possible; whilst
the balance Of them had gradually failed,
and finally yielded entirely to the rayages
of the worms, these three tress, selected
at random, treated precisely in the same
way, with the exception of the mailing,
had always been vigorous and healthy,
furnishing him at that very period with
the greatest profusion oil the most lus'
cious fruit. 1t is supposed that the sal
of iron afforded by the nail is often
sive to the worm, whilst it is harmless
or even beneficial, to the tree.

AGRICULTURAL
SMALL POTATOES.

Some years ago, a gentlemen visiting
a farmer in Tolland, Connecticut, took
his pocket a small potato, which
had got in there at home. 1t
was thrown out with a smile, and the
farmer taking it in his hand 10 look at it,
a curious little boy Of twelve at his Ell.
bow, asked what it was.
80, nothing but a potato, my boy
take and plant it, and you shall have all
you can raise from it till you are Free"
The lad took it, and the farmer thought
no more about it at that time. The boy
however not despising small potatoes,
carefully divided it into as many pieces
as be could find eyes, and put them into
the ground. The product was carefully
put aside in the fall, and planted in the
spring, and so on until the fourth year
the yield being good, and the actual pro
duct was four hundred bushels The
farmer, seeing the prospect that the pc
tato field would by another year cove
his whole farm, asked to be released
from his promise.
With the same calculation, prudenc,
and industry, how many who are dispose,
TO regard the triling things on which for
tune are built, as loo small potatoes /
receives their attention, would have bee
