On Potatoes.

] once found in my garden the half
of a good.sized potato, with a very
strong sprout several inches in length,
growing directly from the center of
the cut portion, and on other occa-
sions have noticed sprouts growing
from the cut surface at short distances
below the skin; also from the cut sides
where the skin had been peeled off TO
some depth.
Now, though | do not think that the
eye of the potato goes TO the heart,
there may he dormant germs in the
body of the potato which may develop
themselves on certain conditions, as we
all know that when the sprouts are rub
bed off from the eye, new sprouts will
make their appearance, this occurring
even on repetition of the process. In
that am inclined TO suppose that II is
these dormant germs that develop
themselves, and send their sprouts
through the cut portion of the potato.
Another point is the mixing Of pota.
toes in the hill. I know that many Of
our most intelligent farmers hold TO
that opinion. / consider it as more

in the roS; they will only hybridlze
in the seed the same as any other plant.
/ freely admit that potatoes are often
found mixed in the hill, but / never
doubted but that the mixture took
place in the basket before planting.
! think that | have seen instances
where potatoes bred back in the row.
In the instance Of the Garnet Chill,
which I raised for several years, every
year / found two entirely different po-
tatoes among them also different from
any variety that ! bad planted. One
of these was a blood red, long potato,
and the other a round light russell po-
tato. These always took 10 be pro-
genitors of the Garnet Chill, as never

Use Of Phosphorus in Neuralgia.

A valuable paper has been contri.
buted by DIR. j. Ashburton thompson
to the Practitioner, on the use of phos-
phorus III neuralgia, large doses being
employed by him for this purpose and
with marked success. He records
eighteen cases, aud arranges them in
three classes-acute primary attacks,
acute recurrent attacks, and chronic
cases. Six cases occur IN each class.
In the first class, the ages ranged be-
tween % and As ; in the second, be-
tween 80 and 60 in the third, between
"A and 40. Some OF the patients suffer-
ed from tri-geminal, some from cervico-
Occipital, some from cervlco- brachial
neuralgia, and one in the second class
from scIatica. All the cases in the first
two classes were cured of the third
class, three were cured, one of the pa
tients having been afflicted Is years
without a weeks freedom from pain /:
two, both consumptiye, were relieved /,
and one uncomplicated case, n woman
aged 40, with affection If the fifth

How many farmers might obtain
plenty of new accommodations for
poultry by simply making use of the
buildings they already possess, and how
many farmers consider fowls unworthy
of consideration, because of some sup
posed difficulty or expense in erecting
suitable houses.
And worse than this, how many farm
ers try to make poultry pay without
any result beyond continual vexations,
merely from lack of ingenuity in bring
ing ordinary appliances into play.
" Why bother, they ask, about rails
ing chickens in cow-sheds and out
buildings, when you can set out as
many coops as you like on the grass of
a paddock, the gravel of a stable.yard,
or upon the scattered rIck-yard straw 2"
Because, generally speaking, hall your
chickens die under the common farm
yard treatment They get wet food and
die of cramp they drink the high
colored saltwater of manure heaps, OF
straw yard drains and other filthy slops,
and consequently sicken and die by
dozens.
We have troop of adult breeding
fowls loose in the farm yard; they
pick up large part of their living
there. But they do not thrive so well
and keep so healthy as other troops of
breeding stock which we have station
ed ut houses purposely erected in grass
fields far from the homestead For a
very small sum you may erect square
board house, tarred outside, lime
washed inside, and covered with
felt. Each of the four sides
is in separate piece, all knocked to
gether at the corners with staples and
pins. So house, say six feet or seven
feet cubic, can be popped into a cart,
and temporarily set up in a pasture, or
on stubblc, or wherever there may
be a good picking for the fowls. A
couple Of perches, a few nests, and
drinking pan for the furniture, while
the ground covered in by the house
(for there is no wooden floor is spread
over with loose earth, ashes, and NOR
tar. Such IS the home for one cock
and eight or ten hens and pullets DIR
ing the breeding season, or the home
of double this number of half.g grown
chickens. The house should be placed
against hedge, or in a corner where
two hedges meet, SO that few poles
or posts protect it against cattle.
There can be no good reason against
grazing fowls as well as other ami
mails, and the farmer who tries il for
the first time will be surprised at the
amount of grub " Qiterally, per
baps, which the active scratchers and
pickers will find in a grass field, in and
under the droppings of sheep and cat
tie, among hedge-posts, upon ditch
sides, and SO on; only small amount
of grain being necessary twice n day.
We wish that many farmers would take
our advice-procure what hardy sort
you most fancy, Cochin or Brahma,
that endure close quarters game that
are strong old English birds Dork-
ings that like dry chalk and gravel
countries; or, If you are in a low or
wet neighbOThood, on tenacious soil.
put Cochin cock to Dorking females
(no cross breeds allowed for parents,
mind, but get good blood and pure
breeds) and you will have hardihood
in your chicks, as well as weight and
quality in your couples for market
