tenth day ofJuly. On the Odd day Of
July he planted the same potatoes that
he had raised this season and on the Goth
day of September he dug the product
very fine potato for table use and of fair
size. We have to thank Mr.. Kelsey for
a generous supply of this valuable variety.
We have tried this second crop and we
find them all the propagation claims for
them. For table use they are equal TO

Mr.. EDIroR.-DEAR SIR AS your
correspondent II. G. has given his exper-
fence at raising beans on small scale,
and wishes to know if it be more than an
ordinary yield, would reply by giving
the produce of twelve beans, of what
seemed to me to be a new variety, they
were planted in the garden near those
from which they were assorted. Whele
number of beans harvested, 1854, weight
3 "a number of beans per pound 96S.
Now allowing one peck or 10 lbs. seed
per acre, and 96S beans per pound, it
would take 1890 and allowing them to
produce at the above rates, it would give
a yield of 4,67S,020 beans. or 1882 lbs.
or so bushels 80 lbs. per acre. One stalk
produced 4S0 beans. believe the
above gives a yield of 302 per cent.

A LADY SruNG by A TOMATO WORM
Mrs. Burge, wife of Mr.. H. Fl. Burge,
jeweler, in this city, was stung by to-
mato worm last week Monday, and but
for resort to prompt measures, would
undoubtedly have lost her life. She was
picking tomatoes in the garden when she
became sensible of sting having been
inflicted on her right wrist. On looking
she saw an ugly striped worm on the vine
from which she had just withdrawn her
hand. She was alone at the time, and
with great presence of mind began suck
ing the wound DR.. Kidder was promp-
ly summoned and expressed the opinion
that she had largely extracted the deadly
poison. Mrs. Burgess arm commenced
swelling Immediately after the sting, and
she suffered great pain, the dexter finger
appeared lifeless, the muscles of her arm
arm and shoulder were intensely and pain
fully affected, and she frequently had a
nauseating sensation. Altogether the
symptoms were not unlike those following
the bite of the rattlcsnakc. Mrs. Burge
is doing WE'LL j'ermoHter.
