Plants in Sleeping-ROOms.

The question whether or not plants
are unwholesome In a sleeping-room has
called forth. curious diversity of opin-
ion. It is agreed that by day they emit
oxygen, and are therefore eminently
healthful but it is generally believed
that by night they give out carbonic
acid, and are consequently prejudicial
to animal life. Recent expers m snts by
Professor Kedzie, of Michigan agricuI-
turai college, may perhaps be regarded
as conclusive on the subject. The pro
lessor analysed volumes of air taken
about noon from different parts of the
college greenhouse, containing 5000
plants, after it had been closed for
twelve hours, and found that the car
bonic acid amounted on an average to
1.39 in 10, 600 parts. He then did the
same just before sunrise, and found the
average to be 3.94, thus, he thinks,
clearly demonstrating that the accumu-
lation of nox1Ous gas was greater in
darkness than in daylight. At thesame
time, however, outdoor air contains
four parts of carbonic acid in 10000.
At the worst, therefore, the air in the
greenhouse was actually better than
''pure country air, % and the emission of
carbonic acid gas was barely sufficient
to counterbalance the production of OK
ygen during daylight. Prof. Kedzie
concludes that, these being the facts of
the case where 6, 900 plants are collec-
ted, a dozen or two in a bedroom can
not possibly be injurious.

COttOn-RepOrt Of the Agricultural
Bureau.

The statistician of the department of
agriculture makes report of the acreage
IN cotton, based on returns from most
of the country and on personal obser-
walton in six cotton states, as follows.
the comparison being with areaof 1873 !:
Virginia so per cent, North Carolina
SO, South Carolina 81, Georgia 90, Flor
ida 81, Alabama So, Arkansas SO. Ten
nessee 80, Mississippi IS, Louisiana so.
Texas 102, Missouri rs. The aggregate
production slightly exceeds 10 per
cent.
The condition of the crop is reported
by the following figures, 100 being nor
NAL or fair condition North Carolina
50, South Carolina 81, Georgia so
Florida 20, Alabama 80, Mississippi "a
Louisiana 40, Texas 80, Arkansas 90
Tennessee IS. The report of the con.
dition in June, 1873, was more favora-
bic in every state except North Carolina
and Texas, the record standing as fol-
lows North Carolina IS, South Caro-
Ina So, Georgia 95, Florida 100, Ala
5ama 50, Mississippi 90, Louisiana "a,
Texas So, Arkansas, 90, Tennessee 90.
The season has been remarkable.
The stand is very poor, many plants
not having made their appearance on the
LIST of June. Since the last of Nav
showers have been general, and the
prospects are much improved. The
fields are much clearer than at this date
last year, and easily kept free from
weeds. With favorable weather. a fair
with July is quite probable
ab the next report.

however, only happened when plaster

Sweet Potatoes.

A correspondent of the Rural Sun
made the following interesting trial
with sweet potatoes
In 1871 I cut the vines from the po-
tatoes of all but one row, before sun up,
the morning of the first frost dug and
housed the potatoes the same day,
spreading thinly on planks. The re-
served row was dug after all the mois-
ture had apparently dried from the
vines mot yet cut from the potatO) po-
tatoes housed alongside of first lot. 1
neither weighed nor measured, but ex-
amined daily, and concluded that one
eighth of the first lot rotted before
freezing weather, and not one per cent.
of the last dug. The crop of 1872 was
similarly treated, and very similar re-
suits were being obtained, when open
doors allowed the whole to freeze and
rot.
My experiment of 1873 was as fol-
lows "a pounds dug before frost ; q
pounds dug after a partially killing
frost; u pounds dug after the vines
had dried up u pounds dug after the
ground had been twice frozen. On De
cember is, first lot weighed Is pounds ;
second lot, 16 pounds II ounces third
lot, II pounds 10 ounces fourth lot, 10
pounds 4 ounces.
s. The above deficit includes the dry.
ing of the sound potatoes, also No.
shows gain in weight, probably by one
potato falling from lot No. 2. OF course
that detracts from the minute complete
ness of the experiment. Gas no one can
claim that a potato can increase IN
weight, no matter when dug, but ba-
fore weighing had, from daily exam
nation and removal of rotten uotatOes
concluded that No. l was probably
keeping the best, No. 4 second best, Il
not equally we'll with No. l, No. third
best, and No. rotting most, while the
general crop rOtted but little. I am still
strengthened In my opinion that frost.
killed vines do not iDjure the potatoes,
if left attached until they dry. In my
experiment have not properly tested
potatoes dug before any frost.
." I viii add that the vines of those
potatoes dug after freezing, where join
ing the potato, were filed with natural
milky sap, apparently sweet"
