PoTAToEs.-Mr. VIM. C.. Berry. Of
Schuyler county, Illinois, has exhibited
to US lot Of potatoes from which he gets
a new and superior seed. Mr.. B. has
been making experiments on them for
some years, and has ascertained that he
can, by his process, obtain a much larger
growth. more dry and solid; and he is OF
opinion that il will free the crop from the
rot or any disease which attends this
vegetable. lie claims thai the seed po-
tato produced by his process will ensure
a crop from three to four weeks earlier
than the old manner Of planting. lie
further claims, that planting from the
product Of this new seed produce a po-
tato Of superior quality. We have spe-
cimens of the seed and product in our Of
flee. The process by which the seed
is produced is this. lie places the po,
tato in trench, say three feet deep, COW
ering them with boards, then load oi
chaff and then two feet Of earth, careful.
ly preventing the water from reaching
them. In the spring, each old potato
presents newly formed potato, mostly
on the end. The old potato and the new
formation are then planted together, be.
ing careful not to break the ligament that
binds them-St. Louis Republican.

Time for Cutting Hay.

4 Chester county correspondent con.
tributes to the pages Of the Farm Jour,
aai, the following timely article, which Is
worthy the attention of practical agricul-
turi-t>:-
The practice among farmers Of permit
ting gras to stand in most cases until the
seeds are formed, aud not unfrcquently
until they are ripe, has become so gener,
al that it seems almost folly to question
is correctness: but it is so manifestly at va
rance with reason and analogy, and with
the experience of those who have thorouh-
j. tested the merits Of early hay and late
hay, that it may be worth an effort to ar
rest the popular custom.
HelcRce has long since incontestibiy de-
uclatrated that plants, in arriving atma-
tlrity, havelarge quantities Of their starch,
sugar, and gum-their most nutritive ele-
mente--converted into. woody fibre,

ratrjment.
ILperle1aCe has proved that cattle viii

hing sugar from corn stalks were being

stalks. the ear shoots had to be stripped
Of as soon as they made their appearance,
or they became worthless. The moment
the ears OF seed commenced forming, the
starch. gum and sugar left the stalk and
became concentrated in the grain, and Of
course the stalks, TO the sugar maker,
were valueless. This observation and
reason has told man. The lEStluct of an
ims3s, al unerring guide as to what is
rest suited 10 their wants, leads them to
prefer the early to the late cut hay, as ev-
cry observing farmer is aware. Even
vaen there is pasture, they invariably

RAISING BLOOD & CONSUMPTION
Mr.. Mime, Builder, in Brooklyn, was
attacked with raising blood, followed by
a cough, pain in the side, and all the u
suaL symptoms of consumption. He en-
pIoyed two of the best physicians; they
did him no good, and tod him he could

Hearing of the wonderful cures per-
| formed by Sherman's Balsam, he sent at
10 o'clock at night to Mrs. Hayes, 136
Fulton street, and got bottle; it operated
like charm, stopped the bleeding adm
cough! Before he had taken one bottle
he was able to be about his work. 1t had
saved his life. His daughter, residing at
l27 Myrtle Avenue, can attest it.
Miss Ann Maston, of williamsburg
living in Tenth, near South Fourth ST.,
says-That she had been troubled with a
hacking cough, and pain in the chest, for
long time, which at last become 50 bad
that she was obliged to give up her school
for more than a year, She then commen-
ced taxing the AIl-Healing Balsam-
which soon alleviated her symptoms. She
is now fast recovering, and has resumed
her laborious occupation as teacher.
IA years Mr.. John O'Neil, 10th ave-
nue. and 21st street, suffered with a cough,
raising of phlegm, and pain in his side.
He could get no relief til he tried the
All-Healing Balsam, which drove the pain
from his side, allayed the cough, and
brought the disease upon the surface; and
before he had taken three bottles, was
entirely cured.
