mestc animals. good garden, according to the old maxim, ''wiii half support family" And this is true. Now the time that numbers of our citizens waste in travelling to and from the bsteher's shop. and in gossipping and loafng away when there, would help to fully cultivate more than as-maeh again ground as they now have, every vegetable of which, not required in their own families, would find a ready sale at the market. So with fruit. Men could live on fruit. During the potatoe famine in England great numbers existed upon apples alone, and it was thought, were more healthy and capable of endu- erance, than when fed upon potatoes.
 This subject is we'll worthy of the careful consid- 1 era,ion of all countrymen. Weeat too much meat and too many potatoes. Let us substitute for both, to greater degree than has bean prao- tised for years, corn, beans and peas-'e,ting the potatoe rot trouble those who are dependent upon the vegetable for existence.

The Potatoe Rot.

That the po,atoe crop in this County, and in- deed, in great portion of New England, is failure, there is now no question. IL is at least fifteen years since this disease first exhibited it. self among the potators of this country and Eu- rope and though from that time to the present, it has been made matter of deep study and sci. enrific examination, the subject of experiments aud of chemical analysis, which have given birth as many theories there are different varieties of the root, lhe potatoe still remains dseesed an unproftable crop for the farmer to produce, and a mos. expensive article of diet.
 We say, therefore, that except for the benefit of agricultural chemistry the cultivation of potatoes to any extent had best be stopped for the present at least If We are to regard the statements Of farmers, they have not, for years back in rear ing the potatoe. received fair remuneration for their labor; and though they now get one dollar per bushei for the crop, they are not repaid foI the digging. Now and then there is season r waich the disease is less violent than usual, and some two or hree individuals realize large sum from their fields. Of course, next year the whols County is planting and we think this summer is d good example of the general result. If hal the time, money and labor which has been gver |" experimenting with this eror, had been expen drd upo" endeavoring to replace i, by subsi ute more easily cultivated and less liable to dis ease, and less affected by the vicissitudes of eli mate, we should have had by this time veget able upon our table, equally as palatable ant probably far more nutritious: for with inc excep. ton of cabbage, turnips, carrots and beets, the pstatoe contains less nutritious matter than any other vegetable common among us.
 We give the following Table derived from the researches of M. M. Percy, of France, and Sir Humphrey Davy, of Eng land. It shows the comparative amount of nutritious matter contain ed in soue of the leading articles of vegetable food :-
