A SECRET WoRrn KNowMo.-I tried a


A SECRET WORTH KNowNG.-l tried a
rather curious experiment with few potatoes
this season. Some twelve months since saw
a letter from a farmer stating the great sue
cess that had attended an experiment the pre-
ceding season. Itconsisted in inserting pea
in each potato set and planting the potato in
the usual way. The result, he stated, was a
large yield of peas and a sPlen lid crop of po-
tatoes; but the most important result was the
entire freedom of the potatoes so treated from
any disease, while all those planted in the
usual way in the same field were extensively
deteriorated. was led by this statement to
try the experiment on small scale in my own
garden this season. planted not quite half
apeck, only fifty sets, in six ranks, cutting
piece out of each, and putting pea firmly in.
The peas grew up and hourished well, and
last week dug the potatoes. They were per-
fectly free from the slightest faint or speck of
disease, and very fine and large; while in the
same bed close to them was another lot planted
in the old style, nearly half of which were
rotten. -.. 49,.
