Five years ago the stock of this potato con-
sisted of II small quantity in the hands of the
original producer There was not enough of
them to make the variety marketable COM
modify. Since that time to the present the
Early Rose has been steadily working itself
into public favor, until this season. after u
lapse of only five years, it is probably more
widely planted through the United States
than any other kind. The markets are over
flowing with these potatoes, and their hand
some shape and clear skin give them de-
cided preference in the views of buyers. We
have not sufficient data whereon to found an
estimate of the value of this years crop of
Early Rose; but when we know that almost
every farmer in the country has u patch
planted, and that market-gardeners have
planted them very largely, we feel sure that
the aggregate value will amount to several
millions of dollars. This fact shows the
profitable nature of the business of agricul-
ture, that in four or five years can produce
so much vaiue from the mere replanting of
II single potato. reproductive industry pays
better than agriculture, when not subject to
the drawbacks of ignorance or idleness, and
in no other is the workman more sure of his
reward-Hca,M and Home.

will set the point Of his auger Gan eighth

method of making cod liver oil into but.

by combining the oil with concrete OF

CHANGES WHICH FLOUR UNpERGoEs

CHANGES WHICH FLOUR UNpERGoEs
WHEN KEPT FOR Length OF TIME.--A
series of researches have been instituted
by DR.. Polcck with the view of ascertain
Ing the cause of the dIicreuce exhibited by
-four preserved in casks. and that kept in
bags, the former of which often has pc,
culiar smell. 1t is found that the gluten
of -four exhibiting that peculiar smell had
been, in great measure, converted into Il
soluble modification, whereby the -four had
lost the capabilty of being converted into
good dough, the -four also having assumed
sour reaction. The cause of this change
il ascribed to a want Of sufficient circula-
ton of air through the inaSs of the -four
kept in casks, the innerm,s -four in which
was most sour, and gave off the peculiar,
somewhat mouldy smell. 1t was also found
that, with this change in the -four, coin
eides an increase Of the albuminous com
pounds therein soluble in water.
