if sny Of our readers have an opportunity to save
porato balls or the seeds of this plant, we advise
them to do so. The tops with the balls on can be
hang up under shed and dried and kept ready for
pInu;inc ne2t spring. 1t ia the opinion Of several
eminent agricultural writers in Germany, Russia
and Great Britain, that by continuous propagation
from the tubers for many ears without recurrlngtc
the natural seed of the plant it has lost much OF IFS
ygor and vital power. late number of the Jour
nal of the Royal Agricultural Society Of England
has valuable paper, written BY Russian, on this
subject whose name do not remember. The
a. Dry Gangrene,'' or disease which may be de-
sicnared BY other name, has affected for seve-
raj years ihe potato crop OF Great Britain Germany,
Russia and sweden. In each of these countries,
ard on the Hudson River in this Stale, and we know
not how many other places, new seedlings have
beeu ,ropa gaed, which said to be much supe-
rior to er:, old roots.


The potato crop of this State alone exceeds
10000 600 bushels u year. We have the authority
Of Mr. CoemaH for saying that in some parts oi
Germany they nov; contrive to raise 1000 bushels
potatoes on five acres OF land, or 500 bushels per
acre. lbuuaio Som' Ao'erusei'
