About Scurvcy.

The real cause of scurvy, the exact
eharacter of malnutrition that produces
1t, IS not absolutely known, but this
much is certain, that when a ne,.son is
entirely deprived of food in it's fresh
s.ate, the tendency to scurvy may nat
9rally be expected, and a scorbutic con
dltlon is generally the result, and this
conoltion IS relieved or entirely cured
only by the use of foods containing
their natural, original juices, unchanged
py deslccatlng processes, or not mate
rally altered by long keeping, and this
Is the fact, whether the food be a meat
or a vegetable. In the case of meat. it's
greatest efficiency as an anti-scorbutic
Is when fresh killed, and if the stomach
can stand it, best when eaten raw: or il
cooked, the process Of cooking should
60 no further than to make it palatable.
On the other hand, if the meat has been
hung up for some time, if it has been
kept long enough to become dried. or
approximately so, affording opportu-
nifty for its natural juices to have
changed in some of their elemental
characters, it will have largely lost it's
anti-scorbutic properties. In the same
way the fresh vegetable is best when
fresh from the field and uncooked, if it
can be so eaten. 1t is then in it's best
condition as an anti-scorbutic, and de-
tcriorates %ordeparts from that condition
the longer it is kept, for it's natural
juices are changing day by day during
its period of keeping, unit. finally, in a
state of acknowledged decomposition, it
loses all the virtues it originally pos
sessed, and IS pronounced to be no
longer fit for food.
The experience of the army of the
United States during many years pre-
ceding the rebellion, and since then at
some of its frontier stations, often de-
prived for months of any fresh vegeta-
bles, has shown very conclusively that
there is no form of desiccated fruit or
vegetabl" that a take the place of the
fresh arucle, or that m%easurably pos
sesses its virtues, all kinds having
been tried, with always the same re-
sultant failure. Substitutes for some-
thing fresh have proved of small ac-
count, except that they have been of
benefit as an additional article of food,
increasing variety in the diet, which is
always beneficial, and thus fortifying
the health and enabling the system to
struggle for a time against the scorbutic
tendency, but the latter is ultimately
sure to have its elimination in scor-
butus, unless fresh food can be pro-
vided for the relief of the impoverished
blood, to afford it the nourishment of
which it has been deprived.-General
HaWkins, IN american Grocer.

Raising Potatoes Under Straw.

Farmer Scott, of Kentucky, writing to
an exchange on the subject of raising
potatoes under straw, gives certainly
some indubitable proofs in favor of this
method, not only for potatoes, but for
tomatoes, melons, cucumbers, etc. Con-
Nruing his own experience, he says:
At n time, after covering Il large
rotate patch, the colored assistant eX-
claimed: "Boss, heah is a painful taters
left. What's I gwine to do wild themp"
He was told to drop them where the
machine horses had pressed the ground
very hard, while threshing grain. The
earth there was not plowed; could not
be. The potatoes were covered like the
rest. When fall arrived, the black man
looked for the result, and said to the
boss 81 s'pose you'll glib me dem
taters in de boss tracks?" "Yes. All
r!gilt!' The mar uncovered the place,
and got ove six bushels of the best,
LARGEST and finest potatoes ever grown

toes. After they were well worked l
took straw and covered the ground COM

dropped over OF the straw. No weeds
ever came up after that. Tomatoes to

before.
