SEEDING POTATOES.

About three years ago, received from
G. G. Pringle Of Charlotte, VT, a small
package of potato seed, cross between the
Early Rose and Excelsior. Not wishing the
trouble Of experimenting with the seeds, |
gave them to a Mr.. Scoby, a mechanic, re-
siding in the west part Of the town, an ex-
pert gardener and horticuturist. He plant
ed the seed in May, 1870, and raised nu-
merous small tubors differing greatly in
shape color and size. In May, 1871, he
planted a portion Of the most promising;
these differed widely in many respects, and
in time of maturing; lone variety" he says,
sis earlier than Brosees Early Rose or his
King of the Earlies."
From the different kinds grown in 1871,
he selected six varieties of the most promis.
ing for planting in 1872. Last October he
harvested four sorts, which prove No. !
yieders, as well as for the table. Last
spring he gave me fol planting two each, Of
the above named, and L can fully assert the
truthfulness of his statements Some Of
them closely resemble the Excelsior in shape
and color, while others bear a strong resem-
bance to the Early Rose. Another years
trial, side by side with other approved vari :
eties, will be required to fully test the most
profitable sorts.-L. Bartlett, Warner,

EFFECTS OF ABORTION ON THE
ORGANISM OF COWS.

The following is from the conclusion OF an
essay on abortion, by DIR. George Armitage,
which appeared in the Mark Lane Express,
There are yet two important points of in
terest which require special notice before
this report is closed. They arc the disposal of
the products Of the diseases we have been
considering, and the dcsirabilty of exempt
Ing animals that have been attacked from
breeding in future. With regard to the
first, all parts of the i;etus aud afterbrth
should be carefully and promptly buried at
some depth in spot where other COWS, &C.,
do not obtain access. Quicklime, or M'Dou-
CALLS disiniecting powder, should then large.
ly cover the mass and be scattered over the
surface of the ground after the hole has been
filed in. The latter powder, oil the new eff
lective agent, chloralum, should also be free.
y used about the COW house and other pac-
es the animals have occupied, in order to de-
stroy the effuvia arising from the sccretions,
&c, and when practicable, burning sulphur
may be employed to fumigate the building,
after it is cleared of its occupants, and when
the doors and windows are closed. With re-.
gard to the second proposition, it is undoubt-
edly the wisest course to turn away as a
breeder each female animal that aborts,
more pa, ticularly when the act has occurred
twice in succession, and when after supposed
impregnation there is constant desire for
the bull. Appearances may mislcad the
farmer to do otherwise. 1t will, however, as
a rule, be found, (and there are few excep-
tions,) after the disease has once attacked an
animal--cows more particulary-that more
or less Reorganization of essential parts has
proceeded, and that it is impossible for l,c-
tus to be nourishcd aud carried to tho full
time, or, where young are brought forth ma.
turely as to time, they seldom prove worth
the trouble they require, still less the keep
required to bring them to an adult state in
fact, few arrive at it, and thus serious loss
and disappointment are the results. When
more favorable offspring are the produce Of
such animals, they only live to become at.
tenuated, sickly and defective doers, and
the result generally is that, if death had
taken them off as soon as they came into the
world, it would have been more profitable in

long, peeled and hewu on the side that lay
up. put across four stringers, then put on
two inch plank for a cover upon which the
hay rests. levcled the earth off so that
it was even with the top of the the stringers
and the plank fitted snugly all around. Then
sifted two pals of sand which was mixed
with one pail of cement mixed when dry,
then wet about like mud My man, who
had never worked with cement. mixed it ai-
ter he had seen one mess prepared. He
lowered to me in the cistern pail full at
time, and soon got the knack Of spreading
it quite fast. calculated to put this first
coat of cement half an inch thick. The Sec
ond coat was mixed equal parts of cement
and sand, and spread it from an eighth to
quarter of an inch thick.
finished these two coats the same day.
The next day | mixed half pail Of ce-
ment with pail of water and with a white.
wash brush spread it over the surface like a
coat of paint. Then wanted spout, to
reach from the outside Of the barn to the
cistern, into which the eavespouts would run,
so dug trench along to, and under the
sill of the barn aud cemented it, also made a
cement bowl outside the sill in connection.
At another place | cemented scallOp,
through which the lead pipe would run from
the pump. My eavespolIts were good sawed
ones and cost two cents per foot My iron
pitcher pump, with twelve feet of lead pipe,
cost six dollars and thirty cents, and it works
we'll. The cistern is nearly full of water
clear, sweet, and cold. My COW stable is
under the barn floor aud as the cattle face the
bay, the pump is just before them. have
made movable trough that | put before
them and water them all at once. They
drink freely and enjoy it first rate. Wher
it is stormy, do not let them out, but il
mild sunny days | think it better for cattle
to stand in the sunshine. began to water
from this cistern the middle of December
and at present it is matter of uncertainty
how long the water will last seven cows auC

think if had running water it woulC
still be well to have this cistern, and whcr,
water is not very handy and abundant, thu
cistern is all the more valuable and conven

The shelter Of trees is favorable to the

face Of naked rocks Rocks of this charac-
ter are first covered with one of the lowest
forms of vegetable life, the invisible sporulc
of which, borne thither on the winds, per-
haps from distant continent, attaches itself
to their surfaces, where it gets a ioothold
and an akali, while it lives mainly upon the
atmosphere. Ifthe rocks are sheltered by trees
this lichen in due time decays, and, from the
thin layer thus left, another species springs,
which in time gives place to MOSES and
herbaceous plants. Thus in time coating
of soil is formed which supports the higher
species Of vegetation. On the contrary, pro-
jecting cliffs, exposed to the fury Of the
winds, will be encrusted with liohens as thin
as paper, which will never increase in thick
ness. Whenever they decay, the violence Of
the rain and winds washes them of, and the
work is begun each year anew.

Esq, BrtdpOrt,
Interesting accounts of the enterprise Of
Mr.. Hemenway in fruit planting having
reached me at different times, | was glad to
improve an opportunity last September to
make him u visit. His location is in the
eastern part of Bridport, aud some eight
miles southwest from Middlebury, which is
his railroad station.
Southward from Snake Mountain, in Ad-
Olson, the range Of hills which | have de-
scribed as bounding on the east the lower
basin Of this valley and dividing it from the
uneven plateau further inland, continues
through Bridport in an almost unbroken
chain. Near the Southeast corner Of the
town the hills sweep around to the southeast,
forming considerable curve. Within this
secluded nook, among these wooded hills,
nestles the home Of the Hemenways, the es-
tate reaching up to the hill-tOps, aud extend
ing far down over the rich valley of the
Lemon Fair. Lying open to the morning
sun, aud shielded to great extent from the
north and south winds, it is warm and
sheltered spot, The situation is a pleasant
one also, looking off over the lowlands Of the
