Curtis. in a letter to thd Editors of the Caltivator. expresses the opiniion thit too much seed is generally used in planting Irish potatoes. The con sequence is a great many small potatoes, instead of a lesser number and greater weight or good ones. This opinion. long entertained. has been, lie says. confirmed by experiments made duriifg the last sea sm, which he presents in the following tahular form: "No. 1-All large potatoes, bad in num. ber. 3W. weight40 j lbs.

In oilier re-lpoects, the age of 'wine is matter of small concern. sinece they are never kept until they nre old: and it is the custom with niany breeders to slaughter even their most prolficasows in the-second year.

In corrobioration of the trutha of the "New Discovery in Agricaulture," or the produc tion maf crops without earth or tillage, Mtr. Grecly of thec N. Y. Tribaune gives the fol luintg as relatedl to him bay a respectable farmer: "A portion of his farm was bare . rock, which, int view of thte small amouta - of laboar lhe bestowed upon it, he mnade the mfost ptroductive. Int the spring of the year hte laid dlowna or planted his potatoes ont thais rock, and coverinig them over with straw, paid no more attention to them un til frall, whena bo merely raked olT te dry straw, and exposed a most abtatdant crop of the fittest qusality.
