The Potato CrOp.

From present appearances the potato
crop of New England will be much above
an average, for not only is the growth OF
the crop all that is to be desired. but the
amount of land planted is very large. The
high prices which potatoes have command
ed during the past two or three years have
encouraged farmers to plant much larger
amount of land than usual, notwithstand-
ing the beetle. which it has been found
can be conquered with Paris green. AL
ready the early planted potatoes are COM
ing into the market, at prices not much
above that which the last years crop has
been selling for. Unless some unforeseen
change takes place. prices must rule very
low next October. Those who are fortu-
nate enough to have their potatoes come in
early, will get fair price, while those
who come into the market late in the sea
son, will probable have to sell very cheap.
When potatoes command from fifty
cents to dollar bushel, as they have
during the last few years. the crop is one
of the most profitable which the farmer
with strong. moist land, can grow; but
when the price comes much below fifty
cents. it is question whether there are
not other crops that can be made to pay
better To those who keep cattle there
are several objections to the potato crop.
First it is crop that furnishes no fodder
for the cattle. Second, the small. unsafe.
able potatoes do not make desirable food
for farm animals unless washed and cook
ed. Third, by selling the potatoes the
farm is made poorer, unless money is
paid out for fertilizers. Fourth, the labor
of harvesting. asserting and marketing,
is more than that OF many other crops.
But with all these objections some farmers
are so situated that they can raise an acre
or two of potatoes without draining too
heavily on their time. or impoverishing
their farms to an extent beyond what they
can restore them, by careful saving all of
the waste materials of the farm.
One point appears to be well settled,
which is that he who is to raise potatoes
al profit. must manure the land liberal
ly. plough and pulverize the land well.
and cultivate the crop thoroughly. The
potato beetle has done much to encourage
the growing of larger crops of potatoes,
for it has been found to be as much work
to keep the beetles from an acre OF land
that will yield not more that hundred
bushels. as it is one that will yield four
hundred bushels

Carried Off By Scurvy-The Terrible
 Fate of a Vessels Crew.
 WATERBURY, Dec. 1O.-C. Grote, now a
 resident of Waterbury, was one of the crew
 of the Hannah Rice, which discovered the
 remains of the crew of the Nellie spoken of
 in Saturdays San Francisco dispatch as
 having been annihilated by scurvy on Big
 Shelter Island near the Chinese coast. He fully corroborates the story of Captain Hutchinson, and tells sad tale of the fate
 of the crew and of the sickening sights as
 witnessed by him. Extracts from the log of
 the Nellie as furnished by him show that she arrived at Great Shelter Island Sept. 17th 1876. The crew set about building shanty | to live in. Brown, first mate, took sick Oct. IS. During the months of December, January and February they experienced heavy fails of snow and very cold weather, with the mate
 confined to hs bed January 9th. On the 2Sth of February they caught some fresh food in the shape of red fox. March IS chronicled as having brought sickness and misery" On the 8th of that month the cap | tain, Thomas Thompson, was compelled to take te his bed with his legs black and 1 swollen from the scurvy and during | that month both their OhinaHen were taken sick Brown died April 8th. One
 ChinamRn died April 16 and the captain try | ing to get up that morning fell back and 1 tainted from exhaustion. Then followed 8 | blank. When the captain again returns to consciousness all the rest are dead, and sfteI writing this fact in an almost unintelligible scraWl he too evidently succumbs to the ter rible disease Mir. Grote says they were men evidently without experience in cold attitudes or they might have escaped their sad fate.
