IN COMMONS.
LONDON, July 26.-In commons an address
thanking the queen for calling out the re-
serves was approved without a division.
In the debate Onslow, q conservative, asked
if the government would not now refuse the
cooperation OF Turkish troops. Gladstone
said the porte had now taken one step toward
a compliance with the request for troops, but
he was not aware that the conference had any
definitive communication from the porte.
The government had not receded from any.

that Turkish troops be sent TO Egypt, ana ne
was not in position to cay they would recede.
He intimated, however. that they wonld not
consent to the British force OCCUPYING secon-
Diary position. The house again adjourned
without reaching decision on the motion for
credit for the force for Egypt.
MISLEADING.
LONDON, July 26.-The News says: The
statement that Turkey consented to send
troops to Egypt is misleading. The porte
has not recognized the appropriateness OF
suggestions to send troops and now proposes
to discuss the conditions under which they
shall be sent, a process which, carried out in
accordance with Turkish notions OF diplomacy,
might OCCUPY six mOnths.

Potato Experiments.

DR.. Sturtevant, of the New York Ex-
pertinent station, lately addressed the
members of the Elmira Farmers club in
an interesting, common sense manner
In his remarks, he refer red as follows to
some Of the things demonstrated in po-
tato culture: "Take q potato, peel il
heavily, and plant the peeled potato in
dry soil. The shoots will grow. This
shows that the potato shoots penetrate
further within the potato Feelings. We
observe that the plant is feeble in early
growth, and late il formation of tuber.
Now plant large fiat pieces of potato.
We observe at date good growth, mod
crate formation of tubers. Now plant
single eyes cut deeply. We observe that
these form vigorous plants, and early and
prolific tuber formation. Plant now po-
tato shoots laid in the row; we observe
very early formation of potato, and pro-
Efficacy, with moderate leaf growth.
What do these facts indicatel This, that
the depth of the cutting of the eye has
more influence on the crop than the
size of the seed. In like manner, as
we investigate the potato crop, we see
marked indications at date-at date, for
we are not reporting results, but progress
that single eyes, cut deeply, are supe-
rior for seed in every respect to pieces of
potato or whole potatoes. That the
deeper the cut the better and earlier
the crop, and that hence
large potatoes, if preferable for seed,
probably derive their advantage from the
eyes being deeper than are the eyes from
small potatoes, for long sprouts give US
earlier potato formation than short
sprouts, and the eyes have certain ana
logical resemblance to the shoots which
they originate. Should harvest confirm
these early indications, then we can
broadly claim that the farmers in New
York state, if all should adopt these
facts into their practice, would, IN saving
$500, 900 bushels of seed potatoes, gain
much in the amount of crop ealized.'

OLD-FAsHIONED GOLD DIGGING IN
.~.-.. GEORGIA. $3.50 .. b.

There is a diligent gold digging IN
progress in Georgia by three cranks
for treasure, said to be buried near
Eufaula, of which we can recall pre-
Cedent.
A good many years ago a stranger
bought a farm in Georgia near the
Yonah mountain for its gold, paying
an enormous price for it. He imme-
diately went to gold digging, and the
product the first year was o, and he
kept on digging, and the product the
second year was o, and he kept on
digging, and the product the third year
was O, and at about the end of the
third year it was suspected that the
party who sold him the land had spad-
ed up the gold only in spots where he
had planted it. And the stranger
abandoned Georgia as an unhealthy
locality. Dig on, fellers, and don't
you hurry.
