and we find an interesting notice of the
publications in a late number of the Bos-
ton Courier. Mr. Bollman asserts from ac-
tuai experience. that thoroughly dried pota-
toes will always produce crop free from
disease. This discovery he made by ac-
cfdent, but confirmed it by repeating sub
sequent trials. He had contrived potato
setter, which had the bad quality of de-
stroying any sprouts that might be on sets,
and even on tearing away the rind. To
harden the potatoes so as to protect them
against this accident, he resolved to dry
them. In the spring of 1850, he placed
a lot in q very hot room, and at the end
of three weeks they were dry enough
to plant, The potatoes came up well and
had no disease.
This, it is added. was looked upon as a
mere accident but his seed potatoes ha-
wing been tried again the next year, and
again producing a perfectly sound crop,
while the neighboriug crops were all dis
eased, the Professor,s attention was drawn
to n phenomena, and he made third trial
in 1859. This time all his old stock of
potatoes being exhausted, he was obliged
kable marks of having formed part of a
crop had been severely diseased; some be-
ing quite rotten. After keeping them
for about month in hot room, as be-
fore, he cut the largest potatoes into quar-
tiers, and the smallest into halves, and let
them dry another week. Accidently the
drying was carried SO far that apprehen-
sions were entertained of bad crop, i'll
any. Contrary to expectation, however.
the sets pushed promptly. and grew so
fast that excellent potatoes were dug three
weeks earlier than usual.
This singular result, obtained in three
successive years. led to inquiry as to wea-
Their any similar cases were on record
In the course of the investigation two 9th
er facts were elected. 1t was discovered
that Mr.. Losovosky, of Witebsk, had for
four years adopted the plan of dry
ing his seed potatoes, and that
during the time there had been no
disease on his estate. 1t was again
an accident which led to the practice
of this gentleman. Five years ago, while
his potatoes were digging, he put one in
