Dioseorea Bato,as.-Dr. WELLISeros offered the
following remarks upon this subject:
1t is important to Us TO inquire whether the Dlos,
sorea Bsatas cannot be m some measure substituted
for thu common potato, since that no longer neal
thy or economical food think this new root one OF
best eecuents grown, and that every farmer shoud
introduce its cultivation at once not only on account
OF its ya,ue for food but because VIII De pronaoie

it's culture The doscOrea grows In all solls when nov
too wet and yields large roots if planted very early IN
tho Sprng and the manure used, If any, be thor
oughY rotted. OF course, where the season u long
the rcOts will have longer to grow, and be larger as
they grow the whole season an! until actually frozen
into the soil; and when left out over the winter

Where the season i no longer than at Boston, hnd
that Mr.. j. +. &. Hyde Of Newton Centre, Mass,
reports that bis crop, specimens OF which he exnbted
at the Fair at Boston, averaged y lbs. TO each root
From the multitude Of eyes, and from the fact that
iced bulbs be obtained from the joints of all the
leaves, and plants from the small necks OF the tubes
leave the bulb of the roots for food With the view
which entertain of its value for human food, know
of few ways in which can do more for human COM

root Its remarkable quality the ease of its cutva-

Winters without injury all commend 1t to the atten-
ton Of the agriculturist

We find that excellent pies can be made OF the dios-

7zycshing-The subject Of threshing was now
taken up and Discussed whether it was the most eco
hOniea 10 thresh by the fail OF machines.
SoLoS ROBINSON gave 1t a. hs opinion that the use
Of the fail not unthrifty, since the straw and
ehaf could be fed fresh to cattle. Upon the great
raires it necessary to machines because the
grain outdoor, aud farmers were in haste to get
their grain into market. In late conversation with
George Geddes, farmer OF some note IN ononnasa
County he told that he had tried both methods OF
threshng and had fallen back to the OLD hal Ihere
liz another thing in favor of ail-threshing; 1t ensbe
the farmer to Keep good farm hand over the WINTER
and give him employment without loss, at least
without profit. am satisfied that farmer can con-
trsct his grain to b- threaded with nail at q 1881
price than he can by machinery.
Mr.. Smith of Conn. thought tn st It was wasteful0
grain to thresh with fall, and for that and severa
reasons he advocated the almost universal use OF
threenng machines.
SoIok RopIssoy-I am fully satisfied that there is
much greater percentage Of grain wasted in thresh-
ing with machines than with fails. Wherever
farmer has bsrnrnOm, and is Dot compelled 10 hurry
bis grain into market and has stock OF cattle TO Iced,

flai and take OF mis- stock. -
