WORTH A TRIAh.-In q conversation
with an intelligent and reliable farmer from
Ohio, day or two since, the rot in pota.
toes came up. lie informed us that fortu
nately for them a preventive had been
found Tor the rot in stored crops. The
discovery was purely accidental, which
was this--a friend of his had large lot
OF fine potatoes which he placed in barrels
for storing away. Not having enough
-four barrels he used two salt barrels,
lsuch as the New York works pack salt in)
and on opening the -four barrels he found
that nearly all his potatoes had rotted
whilst those packed in the salt barrel were
sound and good. Not satisfied with the
one accidental trial, he used more salt bar
rels the next season and found the result
the same. Hs then made known the re-
suit to some of his friends and their trials
proved the preventive properties of salt to
their entire satisfaction. Our friend in
forms us that instead of using barrels he
puts his potatoes in a cool cellar, in beds
about nine inches thick ,on which he sprin.
kles one quart of salt to six busncls of po-
tatoes. This, he says will effectually pre-.
vent rot. 1t is certainly worth a trial.
At has thus far prevented a serious loss
ana banished the disease in stored crops.
