I manifested a slight condition of disturbance, and, as if in tiie restlenessness of half broken sleep, changed my position.It was then 1 heard the voice STANSTEAD, FEBRUARY 6, 1851.dy.lis goods, and those of his ac-, complice, were offered to us, but we, declitied having anything to do with friend, Jim Bowers, (1 should bave anatomy, \u201cwhy my land is fifty miles dopted the usual precaution of a!them, and the Pawnees, with a few given his name before,) suggested from here; a prettier clearing can\u2019t fi gestures of surprise, divided them a-!

and both facts supported the Speakers oavn experienee, The ori- ginof the disease, he weut on to say, was discovered in 1818, by Mr.\"Pescheinacher, who found it to be caused by errtain fungi, which could be microscopically seen on the foliage of the plant.Tow these fungous formations propagated, was unknown: but it was obvious that it was similar to mildew on plants in hot houses\u2014which was correeted by the use of sulphur, used in fomigating the affreted To- cality.Salt, Mr Wilder thought, would be a good preventative : but it should be employed previous to the potatoes being planted.1Fon- gi would not gene vate in a saline atmosphere and, on the whole, salt would scem to be the wnst eligible and effectual remedy.Mr.Wilder took occasion to compliment the meeting on the fact of the Chief Magistrate of the State being in the Chair: and concluded by expressing himself glad that such an interest was taken in the subjects pertaining to agriculture, as the very large meeting mamtested.Mr.Wilder said, so endless and diversified have been the phases of this disease, that no very satisfactory conclusions van Le drawn for our guidance.A few paints seem to be pretty well settled in this country: 1.That carly planting 1s the best, so that the tubers may become ripe before the season Instead of having about 1000 bushels, asimall i denouncing in the name of Him from whom Furope, and in the westerly parts of this country, the results had been nearly siinbar to his own experience of them, of a reliable nature, not onc of them.It was also manifest that the imported potatoes from Peru, and districts where the potato was indigenous, did not withstand the disease any better than the older feultivated varieties.The only thing that could be done would ba to manage that the erops should be harvested before the 20th of August.In doing this it was probable that a crop would be gained.Instanezs narrated by Mr.Freneh to show that the same treatment had different results.however, he did not despair lhat, sooner or later, a cure would be preseribed by nature, ery.Mr.BARRY, of Hanover, spoke from his own experience of potato culture.st Spring he plowed an acre of grecu-sward that had lain a long time Tunder grass.It was an ash loam soil.Oue part was manned with rotted manure.The whole had plasier applied to it.A gravelly knoll was planted with Chenangocs, and the remainder with the Long Reds.The vines grew very luxuriantly.and were green long after othurs caved.On the gravelly knoll the potatoes were entirely roued\u2014exeepting 6 bushels ;\u2014 from the remainder of the land 50 bushels of sound good sized potatoes were harvested .\u2014 The seed used was got from a neighbor.who the same scason (1850) planted the same de- seription of seed on manured ground, of the same kind.and his crop was an entire failure.As to Mr, Teschemacher\u2019s recipe for fumigating with sulphur, to keep them from decay- mg.Mr.Barry said that he had tried it last season, with the tong red potato.After being fumizated the potatoes were placed in a cool dry, datk cellar: and of those which did decay, there were three parts of the whole from those so fumigated.This circumstance did not give a very satisfactory proof of the efficacy of the cure of Mr.Teschemacher.Regarding the soil most suitable for the po- tato\u2014it should be a light texture\u2014the manure well decomposed, and spread broadeast over when the disease usually commences, 2.That unfermented or barnyard manures are generally prejudicial, and that light, fermented, or concentrated manures have suceceded best.\u2014 3.That the evops on light, loamy, or sandy soils, aud in clevated locations, have, for the most part, escaped thr infvetion.Ton.Mr.CUSHING, of Newhury, beng called, said that he had nothing but erude ideas to advance.He did not understand that agricultural enquiry or chemical anaivsis had discovered the cause of the potato disease.to follow him inside.\u2018There they hemmed him in as before.The apartment was very roomy, and seru- pulously clean, but it was scantily furnished.The rite of interrogation was resumed and finished.A couple of witnesses were called and examined.| It was too apparent that the young ntan was a horse thief and an assassin.Cadaverons.after consulting with they were the effeet of another cause.The | bad health of the potato might be the predis- | posing cause ; and what was calculated to cure that, was the question.Saline and alkaline manures had been recommended, tried, and had failed, and no theory could arise amid these modes of treatment and their failure, that could be depended on.Some element was wanted in the composition of the tuber ; ! but what that clement was\u2014or what would , supply it\u2014was sull, as it had all along been , \u2014a matter requiring demonstration.Ttseemed {10 be an epidemic, which had its growth, ex- ;1stence.life and death.the same as the physi- i It did not follow that fungi were the cause, because they had been discovered in the roots: perhaps\u2014nay, it was more than probable\u2014 the land, and not in the hill, Farly planting , was a good system to adopt ; and the later the | crop was bring taken up, the greater seeurity y existe that a mature, healthy crop, would be i produced.An instance in point was related, ! showing the benefits of the conditions above enumerated.Me.SPRAGUE, of Plymouth.related sev- .eral experiments he had made last and former : Years, which proved that all nostrums, and all ! modes of treatment, had been found to have conflicting results.There was ne seeurity, i under the existing states of the potato, that a goad erop could be ealeulated upon.cultivate it as the farmer pleased; but a Veht, Ia: soil was a better medium than any otijer.\u2014 The cause and cure of the dicsses were & crete that no one had unrioind: and it + « doubtful if anv anc ever could.© Mr, STENTON, of Brauwee, sud his land was situated at a corsiderabla and he planted some potato-s on April 74, 1850.A neighbor planted some ten davs af ter, and harvested then «=v.with great loss from rotting ;
