Of ours planted on his farm at Flatbush, L. l., six
varieties of potatoes, all the same day, on the same soil,
and MANFRED and treated every way alike. The varie-
ties were MERGERS, Carriers, Pinkeyes, Dykemans, a new
variety from Claverack, N. Y, and another from Ire
land. Of these, the MERGERS, Pinkeyes and Dykemans
all rntted, while the other three were not affected. The
experiment was on a large scale, and the seed of some
varieties was obtained from several distinct localities.
Now what made these three varieties alone rot. In
other similar experiments the rot has been found in the
varieties not afecte; in this instance. asll5

right direction. 1t is useless to be contented with our
common breeds when so much better may be obtained,
at comparatively little cost, when compared with the
greater profit yielded. Let us illustrate.
Two years ago we obtained a small pig, born 10 July,
of the common stock. We raised it by hand, and it
grew rapidly In the fall we obtained two more-born
in October-a cross of the common and Chinese, about
one fourth Chinese blood. So much improvement had
it given to the common stock, that by spring Of the next
year the younger pigs had o~utstriped the older. They
required less food, and were fatter at killing time.
Mr.. Judd, Of Hastings, sold a hog last year Of the
Berkshire stock, not a year and a half old, which weigh
ed 400 pounds. He said it was easily fattcned, and
brought bin $40. Mr.. McNeff Of the same place has
a large Berkshire SOW and eight pigs, which ha will sell
for 500. When three aseks old the pigs would weigh
twenty pounds, and the Mother is remarkably long.
This may seem a very large price, but we venture to
say that the pigs alone will bring more money ere Sep
TENDER than the price of all, and the breed is invalu-
able.
Mr.. Thomas Howes, we learn, intends importing some
fine cattle. This is beginning at the right end. We
shall be glad to learn that men in every section of the
arc beginning to wake up on the subject of improving

food, yet it must be confessed that we are decidedly a
meat eating people, and it will always be SO. The
cold winter weather demands that We shall use a great
deal of highly carbonized food, and people ,oW get it
from pork and fat beef. 1t is an argument that hogs,
sheep and cattle may be raised here probably, the fact
that their flesh enters largely into the diet Of the inhab'
tants, and if We reason truly W. shall not fail to be con-
WINGED of the truth of this assertion. u
