A correspondent Of the Home ane.
Farm gives the following experiment
with potatoes: LAST spring ! divided n
piece Of land into two parts. one-third
and two-thirds respectively. which |
planted with snow fake potatoes. In
one-third Of the piece | put perhaps
more than N quart Of sawdust To the
hill. placing the potatoes on the saw
dust and covering well with earth.
The remainder of the piece was planted
without sawdust To my surprise.
when | had dug them. | found that ]
had obtained nearly as many bushels
from the one-third part which had re.
ceived the sawdust rs from the rest Of
the piece. the third part produ ing
larger. smoother and more marketable
potatoes from each hill than did the
part l do not think il will
have The same effect in all kirds OF
soil. nor do | think it will have the same
effect in the same soil every season.
The philosophy is this: Pc atoes thrive
best in loose, mellow soil. and in sea
no, too wet Therefore its elect
can be most efectually demonstrated.
and the contrass be greater IL the ex-
pertinent is tried in land that is apt TO
bake and become hard. as the sswdust

doubtless will have the best effects in
seasons. for the sawdust will alb
sorb the wet TO some extent, which VII
cause the sawdust to rot. This will

hills. The most practical mode Of pre-
the land for planning. Is tbs;

Surgeon General Barnes, about three
years ago, heard Of an allopathic physi-
clan in Virginia who, it il alleged, never
failed to cure typhoid fever. Az there
were many patients in the United States
army dying with that disease, Gen.
Barnes concluded to visit the ancient
Virginia doctor and learn how he treated
his typhoid patients. When he met the
old gentleman Gen. Barnes inquired
"What is the mode of treatment by
which you succeed?" ."Why," replied
the venerable physician, "it's the SIM
plest thing in the world. All you've got
to do is to get the patients stomach IN
good order and then diet them on but
termilk that's all. / never loSe a pa
tient, il he isn't in = collapsed condition
when l get to him." Surgeon General
Barnes tells me- that he adopted the but
termiik treatment among the soldiers in
the army, and has found il most etlica-
cious. It appears that some ton years
ago tue medical scientists Of France and
Russia compared notes as to the use Of
plain sweet milk IN the treatment Of
their hospital typhoid patients. and con-
Cured in the decision that milk not only
is of wonderful efficacy in typhoid
cases, but in the treatment Of fevers
generally. An eminent medical man, .
| professor in New York eclectic med
ical college - DIR. Newton - informed
your correspondent few weeks before
he died this death took place about =
year ago) that he had found tC be SUBJ
stantially true all that is set forth rela-
tive to plain sweet milk and bnttermilk,

blessing-this discovery said he.-

Cured OF Stammering.

Miss Fox tells an amusing anecdote in
her journal, one which illustrates the
value Of certificates Of cure:
Mr.. Gregory told us that going the
other day by steamer from Liqerpool to
London he sat by al old gentleman who
would not talk, but only answered his
inquiries by mods or shakes of the head.
When they went down to dinner, he
determined to make him speak if possi-
BILE, SO he proceeded
"You're gong to London suppose ?"
A nod.
~ shall be happy to meet you there !;

There was no repelling this, SO his
friend, with the energy OF despair, broke
out
"I-I-I-I-Tm going to D-D-D-Doctor
Br.B Br- Br- Brewster to be c-c-c- cured OF
this sl-sl-slight impeachment in my
sp-sp-sp-speech."
At this instant little white face,
which had not appeared before, popped
out from one of the berths and struck
in, "Th-th-th that's tho m.m- N man
