some poor pedestrian he runs over, to
secure the safety Of his drivers. 1t
is this:
Around the horses neck, near the

running knot. To this slp-noose is
attached pair Of reins, on gen

Mr.. II. Pcnoycr, of Union county,
Illinois, publishes in the st. Louis Re
p"biican his experience and success in
preventing the potato rot He has tcs-
ted his preventive for four years, with
perfect success, while others in the
same field who neglected it lost their
entire crop. 1t is asserted, also that the
root is nearly double the size. The
remedy is rs follows:
''Takc one peck of fine sault and
mix it Thoroughly with halfa bushe OF
Nova Scotia plaster or gypsum, (the
plaster is tho best, )and Immediately
after hoeing the potatoes the second
time, or just as the young potato be-
gins to set, sprinkle on the main vines,
next to the ground, table spoonful OF
the above mixture to each hill and be
sure to get it on the main vines, as
it is found that the root proceeds from
the string of an insect in the vine, and
the, mixture, coming in contact with the
vine, kills the effect oft before it reach
cs the potato"
Mr.. Pcnoyer asks no hing for his
d dscovery beyond what those who arc
benefited are willing to give. and he
desires a test to be made before an
opinion is formed. This is reasonable,
and the experiment cost SO little that it
is worth testing.

A aew mode Of Grctling.-A friend
from Massachusetts has communicated
the following mode Of grating the
peach on the willow, and assures us
that he has seen the experiment sue
ccssfully tried.
Bend a willow short until tho two
ends take root and grow in the ground.
Then bury peach stone midway be.
tween, and when the young tree at
tains height to intersect the willow
above cut slit in the latter, pass
the peachtwig through it, and close up
the opening with the preparation com
monty used in grating. A short time
thereafter, cut off the peach stem un-
dcrneath, and it will continue to grow
out Of the willow.
