The Logic of Events.

Disipterested readers of the Port
land newspapers are amused at the
persistent effort made by those
journals TO account for the loss OF
the steamship Greot Republic on any
thing like grounds that do not involve
the true cause of the disaster. AT
first, The blame was placed upon the
pilot, and now the responsibility for
the disaster appears to he shifted
upon Capt. Carroll, for presuming to
cross The bar at night. The injustice
of these structures is apparent when
it is taken into consideration that
the night was clear and prominent
objects were sharply defined by star
light, and the sea was smooth, the
surface Of the water being scarcely
disturbed by ripple. If it was, as
admitted, q dangerous alternative to
enter under such circumstances, the
bar is indeed a serious obstruction
to commerce. Tt must be conceded
that the annual loss of sailand steam
vessels on t'n bar, is u most positive
refutation of the repeatcd assertions
of the Oregon press that its dangers
are greatly overrated. The loss has
been so much in the aggregate, and
so continuous, that it would result
in the abandonment of the Columbia
as channel of commerce, were it not
Tor the conflicting interests of capital,
which may for time, as in this in
stance. fairly make water run up
hill. These disasters, although to be
lamented, serve good purpose in
shortening the time when Puget
Sound will be the great entrepot for
the whole northern coast.

producing excellent potatoes aud
hose not very liable TO disease OF
nv kind. A soil largely impregnat-
u with calcareous matter is likely
o Weld a good crop of tubers, and
Euch grouod is easily cultivated. All
Intelligent farmers we'll know the val
ne Of salt, gypsum and unbleached
,.Des as fertilizers; they should be
,,sed however with o good deal of care
and discretion. A spriukliDg OF salt
and strong wood ashes during the
Iorowipg season is an effectual pre-
Iyent;ve against wolms, bugs and
nil harmful insects. Bone-dust is
an excellent fertilizer, but its rea,
/ kinship to undecomposed animal
matter, renders it more i. .end!y chan
otherwise to marauding insects. OF
course, if the homes have been first
burned, and then pulvelized, there
is no objection to their use. Barn
yard manures should not be used for
potatoes, as their odor imparts a
rank quality 10 the roots of whatever
plants they nourish. All fruits, how
ever, escape the infection. Another
objection to such manures is, that
they cause rapid growth OF tops at
the draining expense OF the roots,
when blight is almost sure to follow.
D.un-yard manures should never be
used for root crops until complete
dissolution of particles has taken
place. In a word, no animal sub
stance is fit to use as a fertilizer I'M
til its constituents have relapsed into
their inorganic condition. This is n
foundation principle, and one which
should be remembered and practiccd
by every farmer, fruit and vegetable
growers especially.
The relative merits Ct di 'Gcd or
whole po,a es forseed, sill aoiiates
the agricultural world. Nature
would seem to have pointed out that
the substance of q bulb is capable
OF nov ,hing as lnany yourg shoots
or distinct plants as it contains eyes.
This principle has generally been ac-
cepted as good agricultural logic by
expetimenters, but, on account OF the
diversity OF soils, 1t is best not to
make = practical Iule. A. common
sTed potatoe, continuing iiom six to
ten eyes, cut into three or four pieces
so as to about equally distribute the
shoot'germs, will cause better yield
than il it be cut into dozen pieces.
None but I'll o best aud fairest pota-
toes should be used for seed. Upon
this one thing depends, in a great
measure, the healthy condition of
the future crop. Finally, the man
ner of planting, cultivation, etc.,
should | attended 10 with a due
degree of care aud judgment, but
these details need no suggestions
from us and we leave the subject 10
our intelligent friends.
