Potatoes and Tomatoes.

1t is not generally known as it deserves to be
that the tomato, when grown among corn is far
superior in flavor to those produced in the common
way. They must of course have a fair chance of
room to grow and not be too much crowded by the
corn. Those who can appreciate the good qualities
of this vegetable when in perfection, will find this
mode of growing them 10 secure all they can ask ;
at least such has been my experience
1t is maintained, by some respectable experiment
tiers, that potatoes planted among corn are not so La
bic TO rot; and this opinion has been confirmed by
sufficient number of trials to render it worthy of at
tention.
The soundness of potatoes fn these cases, and the
superior flavor Of the tomatoes mentioned above, are
probably owing to the same cause, which is, that
corn, from Its superior powers of attraction and as
sanitation, appro1imates to itself the soluble nitro
genous matters contained in the soil, and thus pre-
vents the less energetic plants in its neghborhood
from absorbing those compounds of nitrogen which
experience has shown to be injurious to the quality
ofther products The best potatoes are those which
contain the largest proportion of starch aud this is
but carbon and the constituents of water in another
shape. Azozed manures, which are found so es-
sential IN the cultivation of grain, are, on the con-
trary, detrimental when absorbed into the circula-
uon OF a plant which does not require them for the
perfection of product, and which is, in fac1 I'M
able to digest such concentrated nutriment Every
one knows how much inferior the sweet potato be-
comes when grown upon clay soil ;and Liebig speaks
OF peculiar kind of turnip, which, under the same
circumstances loses all the good qualities for which
1t is noted when cultivated in sandy land
Those plants in which compounds of carbon pre-
dominate may be said to form lower grade, in the
scale of vegetable life than that occupied by those
containing more nitrogen. The former are the un
assisted products of nature-he forests and the wild
grasses with which fertile country is covered, be-
fore the busy hand of man has entered upon its labor
and the latter the golden harvests which his skill
and industry secure, to increase his comforts or add
to his wealth.
portion of nitrogen is undoubtedly necessary to
all vegetables, but it is equally certain that we some
times apply more of The substance than is required
to produce the best results five admit, with Lie
big, that "plants absorb all the soluble matters pre-
sent IN the soil, as sponge absorbs water with all
that 1t contains in solution ndiscriminatey, y we
must be impressed with the importance of adapting
the supplies of food to the necessities of the plant
and of Withholding, as far as possible, that which i
useless or detrimental
1t is said ofthe chinese that they manure the plant
more than the soil; and certainly to do this under
standingly and efectualy, implies the perfection Of
the highest accomplishment within the ambition of a
scientific farmer.-IV orktng Farmer.

The second mate was forward at the time, on the
lookout, and the moment the vessels came in con-
tact ran aft, but almost literally overtaken BY
The water. He reached the taffra, however, and
sprang over, but was drawn down by the suction.
Mr. Stanton, one of the passengers saved, was on
deck at the time, and at assembled the mzzen
shrouds but before reaching the top was over taken
by the water, and forced to let 90 his hold.
The case Of Mrs Bradley was truly distressing.
Occupying with her husband, a cabin on deck, Mr.,
Bradley aroused by the rapid and various orders to
starboard aud port the helm, had gone on deck, and
at the instant of the crash, rushed to the cabin,
aroused his wife, and selzng dress, passed out the
after entrance to the cabin but was there taken of
his feet by the water and his wife swept from him.
When rescued he had on but single garment-M
