supsrIrE FOR POTATOES.

For the last four years considerable
attention has been paid at the Museum
of Natural History in Paris, to the
cultivation of plant coming from
China, and known under the name oi
Discorea Japonica. This plant, says
the writer Of paper sent to the Cen
tral. Agricultural Society, may, by its
size, weight and hardy character, be.
come exceedingly valuable in France,
as it will serve as n substitute for tn.
potato. It's tubercles, like those ot
the Jerusalem artichoke, resist in the
open air the severest winter without
sustaining an injury. Several spec,
linens of these roots, Of very large
size, were presented in 1859 to the
Society, one Of which. Of cylindrical
form, was three feet in length: another
tubercle, presented in 1853. weighed
three pounds, the former having been
in the earth twenty months. and the
latter sixteen. The flavor Of the veg.

Tribune says:
"Such ofour readers as are engaged
in the bee culture, will be glad to learn
that remedy has been discovered
which etfectually prevents the ravages
oi the bee moth. The frequent and
serious injury caused by this pestifer-
Gus insect, has deferred many persons
from entering into the business ofrais-
ing bees, more especially as in some
localities the ravages have been so
great as to destroy both bees and hon
ey. The plan is this: Split joints OF
cane through the center and arrange
them on the four sides of the hive,
with split side res sting on the platform.
The moth instead of depositing its eggs
under the edge Of the hive, will lay
them under the split cane. From these
repositories they may be removed and
destroyed as often as necessary. with
little trouble. A friend informs us
that he knows the plan has been tried
and found entirely successful.

TRADING =

"Specch was given u.s." said great
diplomatist, "to enable Us to conceal
our thoughts And there Is no field OF
human resear..h in which words are used
more foggiIy than that OF Political Econ
omy. Let US consider one OF the ia
vorite terms of its mystical vocabulary
-" Over-trading,"- which is always
made to do yeoman's service Ia case Of
a general revulsion or National embar-
rassment.
What is meant by "Over-Tradingl"
There are men in our City whose
transactions during the year now clos
ing amount to millions of dollars. yet
they are nowise impovcrish nor embar-
raised. There are others who have
done comparatively little busin ess, yet
who now find themselves overwhelmed
by the extent of their obligations.
What has caused the difference! Not
disparity OF capital alone for men Of
sm1ll capital have come out solvent
while others who commenced the sea-
son with Tar larger means are under the
weather. What is il. then
We answer-The vital causes OF Pc
cuniary embarrassments, personal or ma
tional, is not over-trading but over-buy-
ing, or (if you please) over-consuming.
You may trade as much as you please so
that you keep the balance of payments
and of available asseIs on the right side.
But the farmer who has raised and turn
ed off ST. 900 worth Of produce this year,
and meantime run up bills at the stores
for $1,000 worth of Cloths, Groceries,
&C., is pretty sure TO be embarrassed,
unless he had reserve fund to fall back
on; and measurably so If he has built a
house costing 81 900 without having ac-
cumulated beforehand wherewithal 10
pay for materials and labor. His place
may now be worth enough more than il
was year ago to cover all his debts; but
this don't pay them: and, as he don't
want TO sell out. he may be in trouble
in spite OF an increase of property.
Thus il is with our country. Her
Over-Trading is simply Over-Buying
She is richer to-day than she ever was
before but her newly constructed Rail-
roads, Lake Steamers, Roads, Bridges,
Clearings, &C., &C., cannot be melted
into anything that will pay debts in Eu.
rope-or only at a very great sacrifice.-
Had the labor that has stood idle in our
market-places been employed in making
the Iron, Cloth, Wares &c !, for which
we have run in debt to Europe, we might
have gone ahead as fast as we have
without incurring any check or embar
rassment. We are in trouble exactl,
as any poor farmer would be who shoui,

hired neighbors TO chop the wood an,
tend the cattle, paying them with order

Let Us use words which express VIA
we mean. Our mistake consists il

selves. We have bought them cheap, i
is said, but nothing is cheap to ..us if WI
