MEssRs EDITIONS: Having established our
selves at the Old Stamping Ground, we deem it
our duty,to advise the public of the superior ex-
cellence Of our goods, &c. On looking over the
advertisements in your valuable paper we find
that our neghbors have in use, in fact have used
up, in putting their unsightly mixture Of old and
new goods, all of the words that would approx,
mately express the superior inducements that we
are enabled to offer the public, for reason of our
stock being entirely nen. One party advertises
that his goods are the very best possible the very
cheapest possible and the very prettiest possible.
Another party advertises in the same manner,
another in the same, and so on to the end of the
list. Now all our merchants being high-minded,
honorable men, their advertisements being the
same, their goods and prices must be so likewise.
But, Messrs Editors our goods are at least two
degrees better, and rs many pretticr and cheaper
than those of our neighbors; and as there is no
word now in use that will bear dramatically

The Lower Canada Agriculturist dis
courses very sensibly on the importance
Of sowing and planting good seed as a
preliminary to a good and prolific har-
vest II says Gan grain seeds are
furnished with oil and sta-eh, which are
designed to furnish natriment to the
germ when it FIRST starts, before becom-
ing capable Of extracting it from the soil
Now, if anything affects these, such as
mold, etc, the plant that should happen
to grow from such seed would be inau
eneed by the imperfection Of the seed
whence It sprung" There is more IN
this than is usually conceded by practice
and farmers would derive benefit from
greater care and discrimination in In,
seed they plant and SOW.

AT recent meeting Of the Farmers
Club in New York, member inquired
what was the Feoson that potatoes were
cut mp before they were planted He
believed that the potato ought 10 be
planted whole, and that the natural nu-
triment Of the eye was contained in the
other part OF the potato A member re-
piled that he hsd tried the experiment Of
planting pOtatoe5 whole, but found that It
made 20 difference with large potatoes,
whether they we're cut in two or not.
There was popular error IN regard 70
the gerRinatBg power Of the potato
which was supposed TO be confined TO
me eye. He was convinced that this
was not 50, and had seen sprouts appear
from the cut surface Of the potato where
there was no visible eye
John IL Klippart, Columbus, Ohio,
Eives his views on the causes Of the po,
tato rot 10 the National AgriculHrist
published at Pittsburg, Pennsylvania
he traces the disease to excessive cult
walton and to hybridization as one Of the
natural consequences of it. In his
opinion potatoes 70 crossed as to have. a
flesh gilmore than one color viii be found
subject TO the rot, while those Of but one
win lie found free from this tendency.
Assuming this to be correct, his renedy
is to plant none but the smaller potatoes,
and those Of variety without cross
Where large potatoes are selected for
seed the ret is most certain 10 follow,
while tire reverse is true with respect 30
small ones. In conclusion he says The
rot in potatoes is a disease not caused by
a fungus, but the fungus ensues as a con-
sequence Of the disease, the same as smut
or brand in our Indian corn is not the
cause but the consequence Of abnormal
conditions

Profits of a Garden.

A correspondent of the Northern
Farmer says that having been frequently
told by farmers that much gardening
would not pay, he thought he would test
the matter with a certain piece Of ground.
The expense Of soil, labor and manure
was $24 s.. The return in various pro
ducts was SIS 7S-equaling, as he thinks,
a clear profit Of $24 Il. The products Of
even q small garden, well titled and prop.
erly diversified as to kind Of articles Il
be grown, are not only a source Of com
fort, bat Of profit also.
