TIE POTATO RoT. The Leeds Eng. I
Mercury gives prominence to an entirely new
theory for the prevention of the potato rot
which may be easily tried The condensed
facts Of the preventive are as follows:
''Some years ago, some boys engaged in
the field Of a farmer in Belgium, amused
themselves by inserting peas into the seed po-
tltos they were set to plant. In due time
both peas and potatos grew together, pro-
ducing an unusual yield of peas which being
gathered the potatos were allowed to ripen,
and upon digging proved entirely sound,
while the same sorts in other parts of the field
We're badly rotten
This fact got into the English papers, and
appears to have attracted much attention.
Mr.. John jackson, of Leeds, set to work to
find a solution Of the problem, and reports as
follows:
~ submitted many samples of diseased
potatoes to careful chemical analysis, and |
invariably found that the diseased potatoes,
as compared with the healthy ones, exhibit
ed marked deficiency Of nitrogen and of nj
trogenized matter in every Instance, and also
IA great deficiency us compared with the pub
lishcd analysis of the potato, by Liebig and
others, made some years before. From that
result, then, | inferred that the potato was
set inherently deficient in nitrogen, being ln-
culcatcd with n substance intrinsically rich
in that element, as peas are, during the mu-
tual decomposition and chemical changes OF
tn. two substances in the process Of then
rmination and growth, sufficient evolution
ofnitrogen from the pea would take place, and
being absorbed by combining with and supply
ing the deficiency Of that element in the potato
communicating as it were, its equivalent in
that way, would counteract its tendency T.
disease. | then tried the experiment prIcti
cally. | obtained potatos OF several kinds
for sets whole and then took peas Bishop;
dwaris.) and inserted four or five according
to the size of the potato) deep in the heshy
part Of the s:t, taking care to avoid the eyes
| then planted them in my garden at Huns
let, in the usual way. MIR. Bower. and Sc
veral other gentlemen at Hunslet, will wei
recollect watching with great interest th
growth and developement Of the COMPOUND
crop. The result WAS perfect success. haC
IL very extraordinary yield Of peas. Whel
the potatos were taken up, they were larg
yield, with a very few small ones, and ever.
potato was healthy and free from every trac
of disease. These potatoes were laid on
wooden floor in a room in my dyehouso
where they remained all winter until tn
following spring they were then sexamined
and found to be all sound and healthy, an
were employed as sets again in the same way
with the same result"
The editor Of the Amherst On. H. Cabin
says he has never had so good potatos as tn
last two years, and he ascribes his success
the observance to the following points;
l. Change of seed, Our seed was all prC
cured from distance.
.. Planting on light instead Of hcay
wet soil.
8. Light manuring and seeding.
!, Early planting and late digging.
5, Manner Of keeping.

HE BURNING MoUSTAIN.-As is generally
known, there is vein of Coal located above
water level in the Broad Mountain, about
seven miles from this borough and near Heck
scherville, which for twenty years has been
on fire. The vein, which contains excellent
White-ash Coal, is some 40 feet in thickness.
The origin of the fire is attributed to couple
Of miners, who, having some work to perform
10 the drift in the depth of winter, built
fre-they being cold-in the gang way. Tho
flames destroying the prop timbers, were
carried by strong current ofair rapidly along
the passage, and the fire communicating to
the Goa, all subsequent efforts to extinguish
it were Intellectual. The men were cut oft
from escap' and were, undoubtedly, suillcn-
ted 10 death. Their remains were never found
\ few days since we assembled the mountain
at the spot of the fire, and were much inter

g But they are not for sale, my friend ,
we shall need all we have for use at home. :"
W Wondering what one manor woman
rather-could want of hundred bushels of
ashes, the "p,ddler" went grumblng on
Farmer, let him 60 If you have "got any
ashes, keep them, and use them at home
as manure for your farm. Let us give YOU
some authorities in regard to their value.
Ashes have been employed rs a fertilizer Of
the soil from a very carly age. Cato, Ro-
man writer upon agriculture, recommended
he use Of woodashcs as IL manure, and the
ncint Jews, Romans, and Britons, burned
av,r t'n >ul'I pr p.rltory to another crop.
l. h lrl tuoa they cuntinIc to be cmlioy-
ed bat npl us largely as their value would
cJmmaud were it better understood and Gp.
prlciatcd Wy the farmer.
Ashes are said by Browne, to "render
cllycy soils mellow, and to give consistency to
those which are light, rather saitiug moist
than dry soils, but it is necessary that the
former should be we'll drained. 4" From
four to six bushels per acre." according to
Johnston, "may be applied TO thin, almost
sterile soils, with good effect; larger quanti-
tics would be to- exhuusting, unless the soil
be naturally rich in vegetable matt +, or
mixed from year to year with sufficient
quantity Of barn-yard manure"
Ashes are employed in Great Britain as a
manure for root crops, and are used for this
purplse in connection with bone d st. and
drilled III with tie seed. According To john
s'on, Is much as fifteen bushels Of clch are
applied t. an acre, and often with slccess -
Iurnirs, carrots, and potatoes, seem equally
benefited by ashes. "Ihey may be used
with advantage for almost every class of
crops, - says Browne, " but especially for
grass, grain, and Indian corn," though ac-
cordng to Sprongel, - the immediate benefit
Of ashes is most perceptiblc upon lcguminous
plants, such as clover, peas. beans, &c. -
Upon red clover "the effect will be moro GER
tain if previously mixed with one-tourth
their weight of gypsum"
The use Of ashes as manure for corn, is
becoming quite general in this section Of
the country-they are applied as q hill-dres-
sing Immediately after the first hoeing, at
the rate Of two spoonFuls per hill, or about
two bushels per acre. They are found use
ful, applied at the same time, to potatoes, to
beans, and to almost every hoed crop. We
have used them in these ways and upon grass
lands, to the benefit Of the crops and the per-
lnancnt amelioration of the soil, and have no
doubt that it will be far more profitable to
any farmer to "usc them at home," than to
sell them for the pttance generally offered
to 10 cents per bushe sin trade, ''-equal
to perhaps one half the amount, nett cash.

THE DIFFER ENCE BETWEEN A
HERO ANDA BULLY.
From the French.

One evening. Il short time after the battle
Of Fontenoy, (l745,) a group of the kings
bodyguard was congregated near the Latona
basin, at Versailles, listening to two of their
number discussing subject which at that
period was rarely a matter Of controversy in
military circles.
"Refuse duel after public affront! -
exclaimed the tallest of the speakers, whose
bronzed features We're rendered almost ferocious
by a thick red moustache; 1T stain that
all the waters of the deluge would not wash
away"
ii repeat, Monsieur dc Malatour," replied
the other in a calm, polite tone, that there
is more true courage in refusing than in ac-
cepting duel. What is more common than
to yield to passion, envy or vengeance; and
what more rare than to resist them ?-There-
fore it is IA virtue when exhibited at the price
of public opinion; for what costs nothing is
esteemed as worth nothing :"

mand of a company, to have engraven on the

"And wherefore not? His majesty would
have better servants, and the country fewer
plunderers, if we had in our regiment more
soldiers and fewer bullies. Take as an *

call affront by taking with his own hands, an
