Goff has been making somo experiments with respect to the potato. It is well known that the potato tuber is not a seed, but a thickened, underground stem. In pluuts grown directly from the seed it is generally admitted that the choice of seed has much to do with :he crop. Whether or not a similar rule applies to plants grown from bulbs, tubers or cuttings is a question about which much difference of opinion ex ists. Can the productiveness of the potato be increased by selecting the seed from the most prolific hills? In the fall of 1883 the largest and the smallest hill respectively were selected by Mr. Goff from the yield of our sample rows of ten different varieties. The following spring the largest and the smallest tubers respectively were chosen from each of these two hills, cut to single eyes and planted, the cuttings of each tuber forming a row by themselves. Thus there were four short rows of each variety. The first of these was planted with tho single eye cuttings of the largest tuber from the most prolific hill, tho second with those of the smallest tuber from the same, the third with those of the largest tuber from tho least productive hill, and the fourth with those of the smallest tuber from the same. In the fall the yields were weighed and a similar selection made for the next year's crop. In order to avoid repetition the yields of each of the four se lections for the two years 1884 and 1885 are given. The figures are the average of the ten varieties for each year and represent the yield of each tuber calculated on a basis of 100 eyes in pounds. first Experiment, 1885. Lbs.

Smallest tubers from largest hills, per 100 eyes 137 Smallest tubers from smallest hills, per 100 eyes 107 Showing an excess from the largest hills of 30 pounds per hundred eyes. The results in both these experiments are so strongly in favor of the seed tubers from the most prolific hills as to leave scarcely a doubt as to their interpretation. Owing to the rotting of potatoes in the fall of 1885 the experiment could not be continued through 1886, as in only two out of the ten varieties was it possible to preserve the largest and the smallest hills. The two sorts were grown, however, with substantially the same results as in 1884 and 1885. Another line of experiments was in the direction of ascertaining whether large or small seed tubers were the most productive. The evidence is clearly in favor of large or, at least, medium sized tubers for seed. Sum marizing the plantings of 1884 and 1885 the yield of merchantable potatoes per hundred eyes from the largest tutors was eighty-four pounds, from the smallest sixty-four pounds, showing an excess from the largest tubers of seventeen pounds per hundred eyes. The total yield of potatoes was from the largest tubers 115 pounds, from the smallest 100 pounds, showing an excess from the largest tubers of fifteen pounds per hundred eyes. In an experiment made the past season with whole tubers of various sizes one hun dred hills from tubers the size of large hens’ eggs yielded seventy-nine pounds eight ounces of merchantable potatoes. The same number from tubers the size of a black wal nut yielded seventy-four pounds fourteen ounces. Ashes for Manuring Purposes. There is a great deal of inquiry about ashes as a manure. The Southern Cultiva tor has this to say about it: “Ashes from hard wood contains from 5 to 7 per cent, of potash, from a little over Ito 11-2 per cent, of phosphoric acid, also some magnesia and a good deal of lime. Their value, estimated like that of commercial fertilizers, is about tO a ton, as it takes about 40 bushels to make a ton; the above is equivalent to 21 or 22 cents a bushel. Practically ashes are a good manure for any crop, especially when largely diluted with some good form of vegetable matter. They are too caustic to be used in drill unmixed with anything. Bnt when mixed, from five to ten bushels may be applied in drill to an acre. It may to mixed with cotton sere! meal; for cotton in proportion of 50 pounds of meal to 10 of ashes, and that quantity mixed froely with rich earth, applied to one acre. Cottonseed hull ashes contain three to four times as much potash and phosphoric acid as wood . ashes, and their manuriol value is propor tionately greater. But they are so very faustie great caution is required in the use Df them lest they do more harm than good. They should be used in comparatively small quantities and diluted with very large quan tities of vegetable matter. “It is probably best to save and mix seed vfroin all the pickings, provided they are sound and well developed. But both the very earliest and tho latest, are apt to be de fective." Manuring Plants. A correspondent of the Southern Culti tutor nays that after mixing soil with the manure, about half and half, it should be drawn around tho plants so as to cover the items to the. same height ns formerly, but no higher. (It is a great mistake to draw soil around the stems of plants with a view of forcing roots from parts where nature njvor intended there should be any. Even " hen transplanted the stems of no kind of pl mts should be set deeper in the soil than they originally grew.) Thus arranged, the manure will act far totter than it would if ■'’ft in a body, which is mainly attributable the fact that tho soil is rendered porous hy mixing the manure therewith, thus per mitting the carbonic acid gas of the atmos phere moro readily to penetrate to the roots °f the plants. Said gas being an important element in the production of plants, the soil mould to well stirred soon after each rain, thus preventing the formation of a crust. Tho mixing of soil with the manure will Prevent pluuts from firing in time of dry "’either, thus obviating tho usual bad ef fects of fresh manure when used in a body. 11 ,w 'ti unrotted manure mixed with soil Possesses all the advantages of well-rotted mid. toing far preferable in procuring an ea,rl >' fi tond, its use is recommenced for the purposes aforesaid. The Georgia Crop Report for May. The crops in Georgia are considerably totter than the crops of last year wore in May. There is a marked increase in tho acreage of food supply crops. The acreage in com is 2 per cent, greater than the aver age for the previous five years, and the oat crop is increased 14 per cent, above the acre age of last year. The condition of the work stock is better than any year since 1883. The prospect of the com crop in compari son with the average of five years is, in North Georgia, 101; in Middle Georgia, 91; in Southwest and East Georgia, 93; in Southeast Georgia, 98, and in the whole State, 95. The condition of the crop is four points better than that of the csrop of last year at this date. With respect to oats, the condition and prospect of the crop is nine points better than was the report of-last year at this time. The acreage of wheat agrees with that of last year, and the prospect in North and Middle Georgia, to which the crop is mainly confined, is very much higher than that of last year at this time. In the matter of cotton, there has been little rain since the planting, and in conse quence there is only about four-fifths of a good stand, in the portion of the crop now up. The prospect, notwithstanding, is re ported as high as that of last year at this date. There is a decided increase in the acreage of sugar cane, rice, clover and grasses over that of last year. This amounts, with sugar cane, to about 20 per cent., with rice to about 6 per cent., and with clover and grasses to 7 per cent. The peach crop is nearly an entire failure in North and Middle Georgia. In Southern and Southwest Georgia there is a prospect of about a half crop, and in the other southern sections somewhat less than a half crop. The prospect of the apple crop is re ported about two-thirds of an average; that of the pear about one-third. The prospect for the grape crop is reported 95 or nearly a full crop. In concluding his report the Commissioner says: “While it is gratifying to note an in crease in the acreage of provision crops and a general improvement in the condition of stock, still the reports indicate that some of our farmers are opening accounts and buy ing supplies ‘on time,’ thus creating an in cubus that with even the most propitious seasons and the most fruitful harvest they will be unable to throw off in the fall.’’ Rotation in Crops. All good farmers understand the import ance of rotation in crops. Those farms are the most productive and hence the most profitable on which the rotation system is followed. The Philadelphia Record , speak ing on this subject, says that there is no soil that can be considered as inexhaustible in fertility. It may produce large crops for many years, but every pound of substance removed from it takes away so much, and sooner or later the yield will begin gradu ally to lessen. Especially is this true when the soil has been devoted to one kind of crop. On the rich soils of the West the land was kept in corn year after year, with good yields as the result, but time proved the error of so doing. The true mode of culti vation is by a judicious system of rotation. The soil may fail to produce certain c.ops and yet be rich and well adapted to some other kind. The three great elements of fertility are nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash, to which we may add lime, and as long as the soil contains these elements it will be capable of growing any crop suita ble to the climate; but the different crops do not feed alike, some requiring an excess of certain elements that are not in demand to such an extent by others. A crop of wheat takes away a large proportion of nitrogen and phosphoric acid, but requires a smaller proportion of potash. It is plain that by growing wheat on the land for several years tho nitrogen and phosphoric acid would be largely reduced iri quantity, while the land would still be rich in potash. By growing some other crop that thrives tost on potash, as clover, the soil would still be capable of yielding bountifully, while the roots and stubble of the clover would return a pro portion of the nitrogen required for a suc ceeding crop. By rotation, therefore, the plant food Is not only proportioned to dif ferent crops, but a system of renovation of the soil is also tho result. No matter what crops may be grown, it cannot be denied that something cannot be derived from nothing, and manure and fertilizers are al ways beneficial; yet the best system is that which utilizes the storage capacity of the plants to derive a portion of the elements required from the atmosphere, and rotation is thus of valuable assistance. The inert matter of the soil is reduced- to solubility, the rains assist the roots to store up matter and the soil is totter enabled to supply the proper food required for each plant. Something About Figs Mr. M. Kerr, of Santa Barbara, Cal., in a letter to the Florida Dispatch, makes some interesting points about figs. He says that he has liad considerable experience in raising figs and states that up to date not a single good variety has been introduced to California, none at all comparable with the varieties he has eaten in Italy and Spain. The Adriatic and San Pedro, so much spoken of of late, are fair table figs, but whfen it comes to drying they are poor and worth less. Tho meat is red and on that account not suitable to dry. The fig pulp puffs up easily and sours, and the skin, which is thin enough in the fresh fig, Incomes thick and tough in the dried. Ho advises no one to plant more than one tree of any kind of fig until the variety is tried and proven good. A few years ago he planted the seed of the imported Smyrna fig. Scooping out the pulp ho washed the same in water, thus separating the seed. These were planted in shallow boxes, under a canvas cover and germinated froely. Many of the plants, however, grew to small trees and bore fruit for two years. While some of the fruit is small and poor, many of tho trees bear flno largo fit?) and some even very fine. He believes this is the proper way to get good figs, and rather than buy high-priced tigs, with fine names, he thinks every one would do totter by raising a few seedlings, which may prove of greet value. Besides, seedlings raised will always do bettor than imported kinds. Farm Notes. Liebingsnys: “Tho only method by which you can possibly advance and develop agriculture is by experiments; that is the only plan, for there is no branch of in dustry so completely built up. by experi ments.” A good garden, well supplied with choice varieties of vegetables and fruits, is one of greatest luxuries of the farm and house hold. Them is no farmer but can afford to have just such a garden. No farmer can afford Ifl. wiUiyuL ow.

If that can not be obtained, use loam. A now, cheap and effective insect killer is said to be composed of one part muri ate of potash in one thousand parts of water. \ It is bad for young trees to have wheat, oats or clover growing about their roots. Keep the ground clean by use of the hoe. If the farmers of this country realized tho danger that lies in the path of ignorance they would be more concerned about the future. Kerosene excels for softening and clearing out the gummed and hardened oil in the boxes of mowers, reapers and other farm machinery. There is always a fair demand for the best products of the Soil, and when they are ob tained by skillful management there is also a fair margin of profit. Give place for a violet bod in the garden. The violets will blossom all the season —the whole year, indeed—if taken in and cared for during cold weather. The common white flat turnip, or the purple top-strop leaf variety, aro the kinds mostly in demand by city consumers. Yet they are not so rich as tho yellow varieties, or oven as the rutabagas. J. H. Hale, of Connecticut, claims that where peach trees are fertilized with muri ate of potash the fruit is of a much deeper color, and has been sold for a dol lar a basket more than from trees not so treated, Holstein cattle seem to be giving splendid satisfaction in all parts of the world, saj’s an exchange. If a man desires to boy cattle for milk, butter, cheese and beef, Holsteins till the bill, no matter where he lines, so ho have feed for them. In estimating the value of manure or fer tilizer always take into consideration the cost of hauling the same to the fields, as well as the facility with which it can be ap plied. Very bulky material, though valu able, may sometimes cost more than it is worth ifnauled long distances or over heavy ground. Every cord of wood used and converted into ashes is so much fertilizer that may be used on the land. Not only do ashes contain iiotasli but also phosphoric acid and lime, f ashes be used freely it only requires some kind of nitrogenous fertilizer to be ad ded to the soil to enable the farmer to grow large crops. Household. Soup and Eggs: Bouillon with croutons and poached eggs is a nourishing soup Put croutons in the soup tureen and on them well poached eggs, one for each person, and then turn the not bouillon over them and serve. Among the numerous remedies recom mended for sore nipples, Prof. Parvin pro nounces the compound tincture of benzoin the best as a local application. As the sa liva of the infant is liable to be productive of fissures, etc., by its irritation, the nipple should always be carefully cleansed and dried after the nursing of the child. To make sponge cake take two cups sugar, three and a half cups flour, six eggs, leav ing out the white of three of them, and one cup toiling water; mix the yelks of the eggs and sugar together for fifteen minutes, then add the boiling water, and lastly add flour and flavor. Bake in a moderate oven. Try it, ladies, and you will be pleased. Molasses Cookies: Bring to a scald one cup of molasses, stir into it a level teaspoonful of soda; pour it, while foaming, over one cup of sugar and one egg, preciously well beaten together; then add one tablespoon ful of vinegar, a teaspoonful of ginger; mix very hal'd and roll very thin and bake brown. The omission of milk and shorten ing is intentional. Lemon Cream: Boil the thin peel of two lemons in one pint of cream, strain and thicken with the well-beaten yolks of three and the whites of four eggs, into which half a teacupful of white sugur lias been beaten. Add half a saltspoonful of salt, stir rapidly with the egg-beater until nearly cold and pour it into glasses or cups. This quantity will fill six good-sized cups. To make corn starch pudding take one quart sweet milk, except enough to wot three tablespoonfuls of corn starch placed in a tin, set in kettle of boiling water; add the yelks of four eggs beaten light, half a cup of sugar, the com starch and a little salt; let it boil until it thickens; when cool flavor with vanilla, pour into a pudding dish, beat whites of the eggs, half cup pul verized sugar, flavor with lemon and place in the stove to brown slightly. Baked Hash: Use a cupful of any kind of cold meat, chopped rather coarse, a cupful of cold, cooked rice, a generous cupful of milk, an egg, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one teaspoonful of salt ami one-eighth of a teaspoonful of pepper. Put tho milk on the fire in a frying-pan, and when it has become hot udd all the other ingredients except the egg. Stir for one minute; then remove from the fire and mid tho egg, well beaten. Turn into an escalop dish and bake in a moderate oven for twenty minutes. Servo in the same dish. Coffee Bread (to eat in the morning with coffee, used much by the Germans, who dip it in their coffee): One-half cup of sugar, one egg, one cup of milk, one-half cup of yeast, enough flour for a sponge. When it is risen, add one-half cup of butter, worked in with the hand (not kneaded) and flour enough to make it soft, so that it can to patted down intoa greased panto to baked. When it is risen put little specks of butter over the top, press them down in and sprin kle sugar and cinnamon over it. Bake in a quick oven twenty minutes when the oven is right. Serve cold.

An Austrian electrician, named Marcus, is supplying the German navy with a newly invented petroleum engine for torpedo boats. The engine is set in motion bv electro mag netism, and is morn powerful than a steam engine of the same size. In the early days of electric lighting Sir William Siemens declared that it could be cheaper to use gas in an engine to drive a dynamo with which to run electric lights than to use the gas directly for illuminating purposes. 1 n (Germany this has been proved commercially, and in Prague, Austria, an electric plant for 250 arc lights lias been put up, with three 50-horse power Otto gas en gines as the motora. Mrao, Zaluska, in the Revue Scicntijique, is authority for the statement that tho low est temperature that M. Wroblewski has produced, by allowing liquefied hydrogen to escape, is—2ll' C.,or atout—sHo" Fahr. At tins temperature, she odds, neither gawx nor liquids exist, but everything is solidified.

Dr. Chapman says in the Medical and Surgical Reporter that nine-tenths of the wild animals in confinement are subject to heart disease. The elephants aro heirs to many diseases, but the moot common unit fatal is rheumatism. Monkeys and baboons generally die from bronchial affections and heartdisease; felines, such os lions, tigers, leopards, etc., from dysentery and heart disease; deer, antelopes, etc., suffer most from dysentery and heart disease: while the canine tribe, such as wolves, dingoes and foxes, bear confinement very well.
