Having become convinced by repeated eXper-

potatoes than other descriptions of seed. 1 tried
an experiment last year with few hills to ascer-
tain the quantity of seed necessary TO hill. The
result was in favor of much more liberal seed

To put the matter beyond all reasonable doubt,

3 butts in a hill, in the second butts IN Dali,

This would leave n gain of 11ls bushels per

three. Take out 10 bushels for the extra seed,

time nothing more was heard of her,
The friends of those on board became
alarmed. Money was raised and pre-
'miums offered for the first vessel that
would bring tiding of the missing ship,
but all TO no avail. Hope was almost
abandoned.
On the I'd of April the people near
Rona's Voc, in one of the Shetlands

wreck of ship sailing into the harbor.

the long lost Diana sailed in like ship
from Deadman's Land. Fifty men sail
ed out of Lerwick in her on a bright
May morning last year. All of the fifty
came back ON her on the I'd of April,
this year; the same, yet how different!
len men, of whom the captain was
one, lay stiffened corpses on the deck;
thirty-tiye lay helplessly sick, and some
dying; two retained sufficient strength
to creep aloft, and the other three crawl
ed feebly about the deck. The ship
was boarded by the islanders, and, as
they climbed over the bulwarks, the
man at the wheel tainted from excite
ment; one of the sick died as he lay, his
death being announced by the fellow
occupant of his berth feebly moaning,
Take away this dead man." On the
bridge of the vessel lay the BODY of the
captain, as it had lain for four months.
with nine of his dead shipmates by his
side, all decently laid out by those who
soon expected to share their fate. The
survivors could not bear to sink the
bodies Of their comrades into the sea
but kept them so that when the last
man died the fated ship that had been
their common home should be their
common tomb. The surgeon of the
ship worked faithfully to the last, but
cold, hunger, scurvy and dysenterv
were too much for him. The brave old
captain was the first victim, and died
blessing his men. Then the others fell.
one by one, until the ship was tenanted
only by the dead and dying. One night
more at sea would have left the Diana
