a new potato disease is described MS
having made its appearance near Jena,
differing from the one commonly known
in its directly attacking the tubers and
not the leaves. The tuber becomes
covered with pnrphsh felt, which is
mycellum of a fungus. The skin of the
potato is sometimes apparently not
penetrated by the mycelium, the con
trary being the fact IN other cases. In
the latter event, the tuber becomes
completely destroyed by cancerous
disease. The fungus belongs TO the
genus SeierOticam, and, according 20
Prof. Holliss, the remedy will proba-
bly, be the same as IN the ordinary po-
tato disease namely, the selecting OF
early kinds, using only mineral and no
animal or vegetable manures, and with
a careful selection of the best adapted
soil. The Rev. nj. J. Berkeley, the EN-.
inent fungologist, however, has lately
announced that this is the well-known

Why Chubb MOnrncd.

When Chubb's wife died we called
i'll to mourn with him, and, if possible,
to console him in his affection. The
old man sat in his rocking chair with
his eyes closed, chewing toothpick,
and rocking himself to aud fro as he
apparently unused over the years that
had sped so happily in company with
his partner. We gently approached
the subject of Mrs. Chubb's departure.
We assured him that we sympathized
with him in his deep affection, aud the
more sincerely because we well knew
the estimable qualities of his wife, and
were familiar with The virtues with
which she adorned her home. "She
was, indeed" we SAID, can excellent
woman; a remarkable woman a wo-
man of sterling aud unaffected piety.' y
Chubb stopped rocking and looked at
us mournfully Unaffected piety ~
he exclaimed unaffected piety 2
That gust it. That's just what's the
mattas | tell you, Adeler," Inc said,
bringing mis- hand down emphatically
on the arm,of the chair. "the way that
there woman would roast a sugar.cured
ham would bring tears 10 the eyes of a
craven image" Then we went out and
left him alone with his sorrow There
are some kinds of grief thai are too sa-
cred to be lightly intruded upon. MAJ

IL is sometimes objected To clover
that 1t is too coarse as feed-this being
the case where it is grown on strong
ground, making u large stock. This
can be remodied by sowing thick, and
thus getting fine stemmed crop, also
shorter ia length, the stalks varying
from fifteen to twenty. five inches, ac
cording to the quality of the land, the
season, and whether plaster has been
used, but the point is to SOW thick
from ten to twelve quarts per acre
evenly scattered on mellow soil and
brushed IN If sown with spring grain.
This forms close growth, and must be
cut before it lodges much, and this is
generally about the time of towering.
Else If lodged badly, and permitted 70
remain for some time, 1t will partially
rot and lose some of its quality as a
feed. But harvested In time aud well
cured, there will be no deterioration of
the high value which this plant has
obtained among our best dairymen
Three tons per acre may thus be.Heal
lzed; and if the season Is a good one,
the amount may be doubled by two
cuttings, and clover should be cut
twice, each time ut the blossoming
period. We prefer the medium sfge of
June clover, as 1t is earlier and finer
stemmed than the large kind, and less
apt TO lodge. and always permits of
two cuttings. On poor land clover
may be grown successfully, improving
the land. But it may be raised on the
richest of land with the most crafty
ing results; only get 1t close SO as to
have it fine stemmed, and cut in time

Where

Mr.. Editor:-Where is the Society with the
illustrieus and fearful name? Where is the
brave and far famed detective and courageous
officer, Mr.. Fitch? Only yesterday noon 1
saw on Commercial street, young fellow who
sells poor rum driving a poor broken down
beast called horse, the poor thing was SO lame
and has been for number of weeks, that he
could hardly walk, and this fellow worse than
beast, was urging this animal along widh
blows from the heavy end of his whip.
1 would make the suggestion that if we are
to have society to prevent abuse to animals,
let us have one and not have to see animals
suffer every day before our own doors.
PROGRESS.
We would suggest to Progress" that it is
perfectly competent for him to make COM
