Experiments with Potatoes.

A French agricultural journal, the
Base Coatr, describes the result of
some experiments in:potato growing
recently conducted by scientific men
in Germany. The principle conclu-
sions to which these sages have
come seem to be two in number.
The first one of them is that the
vigor OF the potato plant is always:in
direct proportion to the weight of
the tuber used for sets, TACT which
certainly finds support in common
sense alone, considering that the
young shoots for some time draw
their sole nourishment from the
mother potato.
The second conclusion is that
there is a great variety in the pro-
ductive power, not only of different
eyes in the same potato. 1t is
found that the eyes at the top of the
potato produce much more vigorous
offspring than those III the lower
part, and the consequence is that
those agriculturists who cut their
potatoes in half before planting them
are not we'll advised in cutting verti.
cally, but should always divide them
horizontally, planting the upper halt
and using the other as food for cattle.
But the best plan OF all is to plant
the tuber whole, cutting out, never
theless, all the eyes except those in
the top part, Experiments were con-
Quoted in a garden soil by Professor
Gantz, the amount of crop produced

toes being accurately estimated in
statistical tables. 1t appeared that
from the tubers divided vertically,
only five tons were produced per
acre, and from whole potatoes seven
and halt tons.
In this particular, however, some
of the other Professors do not agree
with Herr Gantz, but maintain that
other things being equal, the whole
potatoes will always produce more
than halves, however cut. On the
fourth, however, all agree, and that
the whole potatoes, from which the
lower eyes have been cut out, pro-
duce eleven and one.halt tons per
acre, or more than double the result t
by the sets first mentioned.

ing but entire shade or abandonment
Of cultivation seems able to cope
with it,
Professor Killebrew, of Tennessee,
in one of his reports, says of this
grass: cit is fine pasture grass,
although it has but few base leaves,
and forms no sward, yet it sends out
numerous stems. branching freely at
the base. 1t serves a most useful
purpose in stock husbandry, and
Northern farmers would very much
congratulate themselves if they had
it 10 turn their cattle on while the
clover fields and meadows are
parched up with summer heat. 1t
fills all our corn fields, and many
persons pull it, but it is a tedious
process. 1t makes sweet hay, and
horses are exceedingly fond of it,
leaving the best of other hay toeat it.
This grass is easily cured, being
pulled and bundled, the same as
fodder, and cures in a short time.
We give below the analysis OF the
plant, as determined by Thomas An
ITSELF, chemist of the National Agri>
cultural Department. Oil, about 8
per cent, sugars, about 10 per cent,
gum and dextrine, $50 per cent,
celulose. about 35 per cent, amylaoe-
Gus (starchy) celulose, "a per cent,
albuminoids, 10 per cent. The high
amount of sugar in this plant is the
secret of its being so acceptable to
stock, which, together with the oil
and albuminoids, render it fai. flesh
former also. We would say to far
mers not to allow this grass to go to
waste, especially if the forage supply
is short. Save all Of it if you can.

Crab Grass.
Prom the Rural Messenger.

From the Rural messenger.
Doubtless most farmers have been
utilizing every available resource OF
their farms to increase the supply OF
hay, cut short by the drouth OF the
spring and early summer. Among
other volunteer grasses usually
available at this season, crab grass
occupies an important place, 1t is
one of those grasses that naturally
come in the latter part OF the season,
afording excellent grazing to the
stock when they are allowed TO get
at it, and one, moreover, that makes
sweet and nutritious hay. 1t IS
highly relished by all kinds of stock,
and poultry at this season delight to
pick off the seed where they are ma
turing in the field. So wide spread
and we'll known is this grass that
any description of it would seem to
be superfuous, but we subjoin note
or two in regard to it. It is said to
be a foreign grass, native OF
Europe, but has become thoroughly
naturalized in almost every county
of the South, we suppose. 1t grows
very sparlngly; if at all, on wild
lands, but springs upon cultivated
grounds in the summer. and grow
ing with great rapidity becomes a
most trying pest to the farmer, es-
pecially in showery weather. 1t has
a great number of very fine tibrous
roots, and also sends out roots from
the lower joints of the stems, caus-
ing it to spread in all directions.
The plant produces great number

greatly reduces the market value OF
the fruit. An excellent paper on the
natural history of this fungus has
been published by Professor Farlow
in the Bulletin of the Busy lnstitu-
ton of Harvard University" in
which the following paragraph oc-
ours: "The result of our examina-
ton of the diseased orange and olive
leaves is briefly as follows: The
disease although first attracting the
eye by the presence of black fun
gus, it is not caused by it, but rather
by the attack of some insect, which
itself deposits some gummy sub
stance on the leaf and bark, or so
wounds the tree as to cause some
sticky emulation, or which the fun
gus especially thrive. 1t is not de.
med that the growth OF the fungus
greatly aggravates the trouble al
ready existing, by so encasing the
leaves as to prevent the action OF the
sunlight. We only say, that in seek
ing remedy we are to look further
back than the fungus itself-to the
insect, or whatever it may be which
has made the luxuriant growth Of the
fungus possible"
My own observations confirm
these conclusions. In fact, before I
had read Professor Farlow's paper I
had learned to consider the presence
OF fungus on the leaves as sure in
dication of the presence OF scale in.
sects. And as I had never been
able to find the fungus organ!cally
connected with plants, but simply
growing over the surface of them
near the coccids, and easily removed
by rubbing, supposed that it grew
upon the honey dew which the in
sects excreted, and which so fire.
ouently attract the visit of the ants.
This honey dew is doubtless the
gummy substance which Professor
Farlow observed. Professor Far
low suggests, as means of destroy
ing the fungus, the use OF alkaline
soaps as strong as the trees will
bear. If our conclusions respecting
the fungus be true this remedy will
be very effectual one, Tor it will de-
stroy the scale insects which render
its presence possible.
An interesting fact which | have
frequently observed, is that where
there is a luxuriant growth Of this
fungus, it not only feeds upon the
honey dew, but attacks and destroys
ii 5ile young coccid themselves Thus
in some instances l have found a
large proportion of the yonng coc--
cids on leaf destroyed in the way,
and when the remains OF the insects
were examined with microscope,
the fungus was seen projecting in
great quantities from them. At first
thought this would seem to be a
natural remedy. But l find that it
is rare that coccids are destroyed ex.
cept upon the upper surface OF the
leaves; where the fungus is most
abundant. This is probably due to
the lodging OF the falling honey dew
chiefly on that surface of the leaves
and the consequent combining, as a
rule, of the fungus to that part, and
there always remains a sufficient
number of healthy coccid on the
lower surface Of the leaves to re-
stock the plant.

Mr.. L. Fl. Woodin, who has carp
ponds in Sonoma county and a city

small experimental mess of carp, to

We have given them fair test, and

sweet and rich, and invested with a
flavor very enjoyable and quite char
acteristic of the fish. We found am

the verdict which is generally given

and that is, that the fish is of espe-
cial and distinctive merit for food.
