POTATO ROT.

By the politeness of Prof. Henry
of the Wisconsin Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station, we are favored
with a bulletin on this subject. Tn,
substance of the report is from tina
made by Mr.. Erwin F. Smith. O
Michigan University Botanical La
boratory.
The disease is contagious, and Of
ten spreads from field to field with
great rapidity. 1t attacks the tops as
we'll us the tubers. and is due pri-
marily to a minute parasitic fungus
Phytophthora infeStans. It's life his
tory is we'll known since De Barry
and other botanists have so careful
ly investigated it.
Its destructive effects are observ-
ed by the farmer late in the fall,
but it may be noticed on the tops
earlier in the season by a blotched,
black or brown spotted, dead APP
,earance. Closer inspection shows

Pulverization of the soil also in
creases its sponge like property, by
which the humidity is rendered
more uniform. 1t is also Of great ad
vantage in admitting the nightly
dews to the roots of plants, especial.
lyin a WARM season. And it is equally
necessary to have the surface OF the
soil open, that there may be a free
insress of the warm air, and tepid
rain of spring. An open soil is also
most suitable for effecting those
changes in the manure itself, which
are needed in the preparation of
suitable food for all vegetation.
Animal and vegetable substances
exposed to the alternate action of
heat, moisture, light and air under
go spontaneous decomposition,
which would not otherwise take
place.
The depth of pulverization must
depend upon the nature of the soil.
and OF the subsoil, and also on the
nature of the plants grown there.
IN orchards or kitchen gardens,
where there are fruit trees, deep
puiverlzatlon is exceedingly inju-
rlous, as it prevents the spongioles
OF the roots from rising to the sur |
race OF the soil. and consequently
places them beyond the reach of
atmospheric air; but annual crops
are on the contrary generally bet
ter when the soil, which is to receive
them, has been prepared by to.era-
bly, deep, pulyerizatIoa. Care must
always be taken not to dig below
the surface soil; as sometimes the
surface soil may be buried and the
subsoil brought to the surface, which

NOTES AND CoIMENTS

A perfect town is that in which
you see the farmers patronizing the
home merchants, the laborers
spending the money they earn with
their own tradesmen. and all ami
mated by a spirit that will not pur
chase articles abroad if they can be
bought at home. The spirit of reel
procity between business men and
mechanic, tradesmen and laborer,
farmer and manufacturer, results
every time in making the town a
perfect one to do business in. Elk.

Petroleum has ev0ived new Won
der. 1t furnishes the world to day
with the ch eapest light ever known.
1t is q motive power also. The mos
brilliant dyes known to chem stry
are evolved from coal-tar. The viz
tues of carbolic acid need no praise.
But ROW a substance, technically
called "benzoyl sulphonic imide" has
been discovered by DR.. Fahlberg,
which is tive hundred and thirty
times sweeter than sugar! 1t is des-
tined to become an article OF diet
replacing cane sugar and sorghum
for sweeteliing purposes. 1t has been
tested upon animals, and no bad eff
fects have followed its use. Indeed,
dogs have been given as much as five
gramlnes, representing the Swceten-
ing property of two and half
pounds of sugar, per day, without
amy evil effects being observed, while
in German hospitals patients suffer
ing from diabetes, who cannot eat
grape or cane sugar in any form
wlthaut serious results, have sweet
ened their food with this product
without the slightest inconvenience
ensuing. Luckily this "saccharine'
as it has been christened, cannot be
used in the distillation Of any kinds
of liquors. Alcohol is evolved only
from the sugar in the grape and
cane. This shows one of the won
ders of chemistry, science practi-
cally not much more than a hundred
years old. When first discovered
chemistry was analytic. 1t resolved
the materials in the world about us
into their primary atoms But of
late years chemistry has become
synthetic. 1t is forming new comb,
nations out Of the countless mate
rails at its disposal, and with tn,
most marvellous results. We are only
to understand what won
ders are in store for us. AS the re-
suit of researches in the laboratory
it has long been suspected that the
chemist might yet furnish us food
from the inorganic materials of the
world aaound us. And, as a matter
Of fact, many products of organized !
such as urea and this sac
;harine, are now made directly by
chemistry without nature developing
hem through vegetable or animal
life. Who knows; perhaps the man
# the future will live on food pre-
Jared for him by chemistry, and
here may be no necessity for the
destruction of animal life or the la
'ors of the farmer to supply food.

About year ago DR.. G. P. Kemp
of Rugby, was rendered the chair of
Chemistry at, and the position of
medical officer to, the University OF
the South. at Sewanee. Recently,
We understand, this offer was re
newed, with inducements to transfer
his operations in Vlticulture to the
hills of Sewanee. Both these offers,
we are pleased to be able to ar
nounce, have been declined, DR..
Kemp preferring to remain in Rug
by, and continue his good work
amongst us.
DR.. Kemp was the first to intro
duce in Rugby the very interesting,
and to us important, industry of
grape culture and wine making, and
now, especially at this time, to lose
him, with all his know Wedge and
practical experience, would be
serious blow to the colony.
Success in grape culture here is
assured, the most skeptical will
admit this, and to DR.. Kemp all the
credit is due We are glad therefore
to know that tho DR.. will not de
sert Rugby for other ields--not
even for Sewanee.

numerous small white spots scatter
vi over the leaves and stems of the
potato plant.
These spots are made up of mil
hons of spores of wonderful vital
activity The mature fungus lives in
the tops or tubers, and can be de
tected only by the microscope. 1t
consists of very numerous, colorless,
branching tube-like threads, which
grow through the tissues OF the DO
tato, impoverish ng them SO they
break down, to be invaded by cac-
terra or other low forms of life, in
duclng decomposition. These tube
Ike threads are perennial and har-
dy Either the spores or any part of
tins fungus is capable of forming a
plant or growth. AS these spores
are lnhnltessimal, and can be scat.
tered by the winds, we see the faci-
llty with which it spreads, and the
difficulty in checking its spread from
plant to plant and field to field.
In devlsing preventive measures,
we must consider, |. The fungus
spreads in summer by spores. 9. The
tube like threads are perennial, and
are at all seasons to be found in the
diseased tul ers aid tops.
PREVENTIVE MEA,UaEs.
|. Tops and tuherS fir IN infected
fields should be burned, andnot used
for mulch or compost. 2. Infected
tubers, buried with so1nd ones. will
be llhely to cause i'll to rot during
the winter. Better store in Il dry
Cellar, III boxes or barrels, and as
sort frequently, CAREFUL, renewing
every tuber showing decay. 3. Tubers
may appear sound on the outside,
but be tainted inside. The black
spot contains the fungus. Planting
diseased potatoes will insure tie
perpetuation of the rot. r. AS the
tube-llke fungus penetrates the tu-
Der on top, and as some of these will
be lett, even after the greatest cure,
the safest plan is not to plant pota
toes after potatoes which have been
affected. "A remote or new field is to
be sought. 5. AS spores are 50 easily
disseminated by the wind, and the
prevailing winds in summer are
from the south or southwest, tie
lew potato lot should be south of
the Oil lot, or separated by a grove
or cornield. 6. The growth of the
fungus is favored by moisture aud
checked by drought. Usually the
rot is worst on moist clay lands
Choose, then, a light, well-drained
soil
In selecting seed, it is plain that
it should come from a district where
there has been no rot. Taking seed |
from district where rot is COM
mon is a sure method of dissemina-
ing the curse Hence, il buying
seed, we should be sure it comes
sroD' a healthy district.
Some varieties are said to be less
liable to the disease, but the fact
las not been clearly established

MISREPRESENTATION.

We do not think Messrs. JOIN A. HAM
rIEroY & Co, OF Baltimore, can afford TO
m.represent us. Yet they quote US a.
say Ing that no debt.payer could be elected
10 Office IN Virginia, aud then add Tint we
u.cart that no man who paid his debts
could be elected to Office In Virginia. THIS
method Of conducting discussion is mex.
cusable. They also misrepresent us In the
following paragraph:
"The Dispatch asserts that the State
consists Of it, Legislative, Executive, and
judicial officers Here is Just where the
Dispatch Is mistaken. The Legislative. Eek.
ecuiive, and Judicial officers OF the State
are the servants and not masters OF the
people. The State consists OF the SOW
ereien will Of the people, unless we have
been taught wrong as 10 the principles OF
Republican form OF Government"
What we really said was that so far as the
Alexandria 0dzette'S question was con-
ccrned the State consists OF Its Legislative,
Executive, and Judicial officers. And so
Il does. Aud we were making the very
point which Messrs. JOHN A. HAnBLEToN
e. Co. try to steal from us when we sad
what we did. That point was that as no
debt-payer could be elected to Office, the
people were evidently opposed TO paying
the debt, and 1t was therefore useless for the
Gazette to be calling upon "the State " to
pay its debt.

A gentleman prominent In legal circles
in Boston was recently riding in train,
and in the scat before him was young and
gayly.drcssed damsel. The car was pretty
full and presently an elderly woman en-
tered, snd, finding no seat vacant but the
one beside the young woman mentioned,
sat down beside her. She was decent.
ly.dressed woman, but apparently OF
humble station, aud she carried seye-
raj clumsy bundles which were evil
Gently serious annoyance to her sea.-
mate. The young woman made no effort
10 conceal her yeXation, but in the most
conspicuous manner showed the passengers
around that she considered IL an imperti-
nent intrusion for the newcomer TO pre-
sumo TO sit down beside her. In few mo-
ments the old woman, depositing her pack
ages upon the seat, went across the car TO
speak TO sn acquaintance she discov-
cred on the opposite side OF the
aisle. The lawyer leaned forward to
the offended young lady and courte.
ously asked il she would change seats
with him. A smile of gratified vanity
showed how pleased she was to have at
tracted the notice OF so distinguished look
ing 3 gentleman. "Oh, thank you ever So
much" she said, eGusively. 81 should
like to, but It would De as bad for you as
