AN ANTIDoTE TO THE PoTAro-RoT.-
Professor Bollmsn, Of the Russian Agricul-
,ural Institute, has published pamphlet on
the po,ato-ro,, and he announces 10 The
world lhs. mere drying, If conducted at a
sufficiently high temperature, and continued
long enough, is complete antidote TO the
disease. This resul. was ascertained by re-
pes,ed experience conducted for series Of
years. The temperature required 10 pro-
duce the desired result, is no. very clearly
made out. Mr.. Bol!msn's room, in which
his frs, potatoes were died, was heated 10
Ahani 70 aaspes, and much higher.=By
way Of expermen. he placed others in The
chamber of The stove itself, where the ther-
mome,er stood at 1856 degrees and more
t1e also ascertsined lha. the vitality Of The
potato is not sffecled even i! ihe rind is char
red. This hint may be useful, and with
similar experiments carefully conducted, The
fac. may be established.

CULTURE OF PorAToEs.-ln cul,ivs,ing
the potato, the frs. objec. should be to pro-
cure good variety. For the table, we
would recommend The Neshanock, or Bill
bos, the Pink eye, and the genuine English
White Son Stock seeding. We should pre-
fer The Apple, Orange Merino, or as they
are commonly called, "Long Johns" from
The fac. ,ha. The las, named variety is more
productive. The Rohan nigh. be added fo'
stock, and the Cowhorn for the table, il be-
ing On early variety and Of fine flavor.
The bes. soil, for planning is q sandy loan,
bu. on clay coil the ground should be plow-
ed in The fall and we'll msnured, either in
the spring Or fall and pIowed in the spring,
the deeper the better. Potatoes should be
planted ss early as possible in the spring.
We should prefer planting in drills, three
fee, one way and eighteen inches the other;
using from eigh. to twelve bushels Of seed
per acre, and no potatoes Of less size than a
hens egg to be planted
IN forming the drills, we have dropped
the potatoes on the surface. and covered
them with The plow, SO that the furrow act
ed as drain for the surplus waller.

A CONUNDRUMICAL LOAFER.

A fellow in q complete suit Of faded cor
duroy, and very dirty withsl, tumbled off
the steps Of ST. Andrews Church, just ss the
watchman arrived at the spot, and making
two or three revolutions on The pavement,
stopped face upwards, before The officer, and
propounded the following query -
81 say, wa.chy, are you pretty sharp st
conundrumsl Why am like backslid-
ing Christian? That's q pretty tough one,
you think Well, don't puzzle. lis bt-
cause ] fell away from the church, and am
likely to be picked up by the devil at last"
The wa,chman, without thanking him
for the internal compliment, picked him up.
On the route down Chestnut street, the cap
tive addressed the csptor again:
"Ws.cb, III Try you with another. Why
am like the Emperor Of Hayti -
'Becsuse you are saucy scoundrel."
"No-because am attended by black
guard"
"And because you are as big blackguard
yourself as could be picked up in years
travel''
Nothing more was said until they came
in from, Of Col. Woods museum, when the
corduroy man once more addressed the man
of the mace and rattle.
"DonI you ge. out of heart, watchy.-
Better luck mex, time. Why is the Quaker
Giant and myself like the God Of msrfi-
sge?"
"Becausc you are humbugs."
"Bah no. Because we are high men,"
(Hymen)

Besides, I'm trump: an ace Of trumPs, and

''Tha.'s the game was playing when you
same across me-"
"Y ou were play ing low, think for you
were fla. on your back. But I'll play the
deuce with you, and lha. will be low e.
nough, if you dom. &c. along without any
more talk"
"You are no: so bright, old fellow, as !
though, you were, bu. here's one ! guess
you can cha,c. Why are you like sugsr

6" cam, exactly say" replied the w..eh-
man, a little fa.lered by the sacchrafine
comparison.
"WeII. h's because I'd like 10 lick you il
I had chsnce," said the prisoner as he was
thrust into the cage.

ker answered to the name Of Simon Pesrce,
the wa,chmsn's evidence wss heard and .

out. H:@-+

THE ORIGIN OF THE WHITE, THE RED
AND THE BLACK MANN Washington IT.
ving's new work, NV ooIlert Roos,, we find
th~ following p|eassn, legend:
.When the Grea, Sriri, had made the
three men, he called them together and
showed them three boxes. The first was
filled with books and maps and papers: the
second with bows and arrows, and knives
and .omahawks; The third with spades, axes,
hoes and hammers. "These, nv sons,'
said he, care The means by which you are
10 live; choose among them according to
your fancy"
The white man being the favor.e, had
the first choice. He psssed BY the box 81
working tools wi.hou. notice; but when he
came To the weapons for war snd hunting,
he stopped and looked hard q. them. The
red man trembled, for he had sc. his hear,
upon tha, box. The white man, however,
after looking upon i. for q moment, passed
on and chose the box of books and papers.
The red mans turn came next; and you
may be sure he seized with JOY upon The
bows end arrows and tomakawks. As to
the black man, he had no choice left but to
pu, up with the box Of tools.
From this i, is clea, tha, the Grea, Spiri,
intended that the white man should learn 10
read and write to understand all about tho
moon and stars, and to make everything. e.
ven rum and whlskey. That the red man
should be frsl-rate hunter, and q mighty
warrior, bu, he was no, to learn anything
from books, as the Great Spiri. had not given
him any nor was he to make rum and
whiskey, les. he should kill himself with
drinking. As to the black usn, as be had
nothing but working tools, j. wss clear he
wss to work for the white and red men,
which he has continued TO do.''
