PREVENTING POTATO ROT.

In a report TO the Pennsylva-
MIA horticultural Association
=. I. Fox told Of an interesting
experiment made with a view
of checking the potato rot.
Onrshalf Of the potatoes DEVOTED
TO this experiment had the tops
off and removed as sool as they
showed any signs Of the rot,
and the other half remained
uncut. Ga digging the crop all
the potatoes from the treated
portion Of the field we're found
to be 'perfectly sound, while
those from the other portion
were unfit to use.

COTTON WHEAT, AND GOLD.

-toItON WHEAT, AND GOLD.
We have said recently that it
would now require more pounds
Of cotton to- pay off the re-
mainder Of the national debt Of
the United States than it would
have required to pay off the
whole debt III 1865. The
America Almanac for 1888 gives
the figures. The highest price
of upland cotton in 1866 is
therein stated at 35c., and the
public debt at S2,S44,649,626.
1t 1886 the price Of upland cot
ton is stated at little less than
&c. per pound, and the public
debt at 81, 1888, 1868. In other
words, 33,94S,S7S pounds nf
upland cotton, selling at the
highest plice for 1865, wonld
have paid off the entire public
debt; whereas it would have
required in 1886 19,637825, 67S
POUNDS of cotton, selling at the
highest price for 1886, to pay
off the same debt, though the
government had, between 1865
and 1886, paid of more than a
thousand millions of that debt,
and paid the same in gold.
The highest price of wheat
in 1865 was $1.o8. In 1886 the
highest price was 95a per
bushel. So that a man owing a
debt Of ten thousand dollars in
1865 could have paid it of with
5000 bushels of wheat, whereas
it would have required more
than ten thousand bushels to
pay a debt of the same mount
in 1885.

THE FARMING THAT PAYS.


Last year Mr.. j. J. Price, Of
this county, hired a lot of hands,
planted considerable cotton,
bought his supplies, raised six
bales OF cotton and came out at
the little end Of the horn. This
year he decreased the acrege
cotton. increased that in corn,
and with the help Of a ten year,
girl, he made two bales of cot
ton and FIVE hundred bushels
Of corn. He has proven TO his
satisfaction that the way to
make money in farming is to
plant less cotton and more corn.
His crop Of corn this year il
worth more than the six bales
of cotton he raised last year and
the cost Of raising it was less
than fifth. And besides he has
two bales of cotton as surylus--

It viii be found that the
