MIR. Alexander Henderson, of Buffalo,
New York, who has been studying the mat
tes ever since lS45, claims to have discov.
cred the cause Of that serious evil, the pota-
to-rot, aud also a remedy for it. MIR Hender-
sous discovery, as explained in the Scienti-
fc American, appears very plausible. lie
attributes the primary cause OF the potato rot
to an insect called the PhytOcoriS Liaeataris.
The remedies pr posed by Mr.. Henderson
are very simple. They are, killing the egg
by sprlDkliug quickIime upon the seed; pre-
venting its development by deep planting,
by boeing up well round the vines and fllir {
up the cracks 10 the soil by pressure, or by
preserving CD old Scotch method Of planting,
which is as follows: The gr"und Is plough
ed about q foot deep, and manure put In,
with three to four inches Of SOL 90 that, and
then the potato planted. Crops in this way
have never failed, the vines sometimes being
attacked, but the tubers always remainirg
sound. We have heard of a gentleman III
this vicinity who last year tiled the expert
ment of sprinkling his seed potatoes with
quick lime, and the crop escaped the rot
