Expcri IN Potato culture,

Mr.. j. V. II. Scovll of Paris, Oneida
County, n. Y, sends the following report
of experiments in potato culture to the Ag
rculturll Department.
He says: ave are too apt to accept CON
illusions which appear plausible or reason
able, without taking the trouble to investi-
gate and determine by experiment whether
actual results in field practice will confirm
those impressions. have for several years
tlattered myself that there was something
in intelligently cutting potatoes fol seed,
and yet, while | strongly urge the impor-
lance Of selecting only good, sound. we'll
matured potatoes for planting, | now fear
that my theory of intelligence in the cUtting
of tubers is in danger of being entirely up
set when reduced to actual practice. If
SO, great point is gained. 1t cmonstrates
that, without detriment, machines may be
employed for cutting, dropping, and cover
ing thus dispensing with a large amount of
hand Labor. One of the main ideas in con-
Quoting these experiments was to determine
the best method of cutting and preparing
seed, and its relative bearing upon the yield
and value of the harvested crop.
The variety used for this purpose was
the Oneida peachblow, seeding of the
Garnet Chill; the latter having been the
main variety cultivated in this locality for
several years past. prefer this peachblow
to the Chill, because it is a better-looking
potato, better for the table, and far more
prolific. 1t originated in this immediate
vicinity, and is well adapted to our locality,
elevated about 1000 feet above sea- level,
and to our short seasons, The plat select
ed for experimenting was well manured
the previous season with rotted bainyard
manure, and planted to sowed corn. The
soil would be termed a clay loan. The
blowing was done early in May. The
ground was furrowed with light plow, 3
feet apart in rows, and planted feet 8
inches by feet, making $3.50 hills to an
acre. The planting was commenced May
21, and the potatoes were dug October II
and 10, The result is figured out as if by
the acre, and the number of bushels given
in each column upon the basis of GO pounds
to the bushel

calculated to make them all uniform in this
respect. The culture was ordinary field
culture.
AT harvest-time, in No. l, planted with
one eye to piece, several hills had only
one good-sized potato, several only two,
and very few had three. In this row there
were only three or four small potatoes.
The difference in yield, as presented in Nos.

TWO ATTEMPTED SUICIDES.

James Cooper, steward of the schooner Alta
yeia living at Pier g. East River, made four efforts to
commit suicide yesterday. Cooper shipped on the
vessel which trades between this port and the West
Indies. He gave permission to his wife to draw por-
ton Of his pay When the vessel reached this port he
found that wife had drawn all OF his pay and she
refused 10 give him any. This so afectod him that
he said TO some OF his shipmates that he was
tired OF life. He returned to tho ship md took
two ounces OF laudanum. This did not pro-
duce the desired effect. and he then procured
