352 OBSERVATIONS ON GUANO 
The stems withered sooner, and the potatoes 
were gathered in, several weeks earlier than 
usual. They were clean-skinned, free from scabs; 
which often arises when night-soil or stable man- 
ure isused. They were mealy when boiled. Many 
of the tubers were of large size, firm, and solid, 
and the quantity of small ones unusually small, 
scarcely one fourth in amount to that of former 
years. 
I have given the results of each kind in a tabu- 
lar form, for greater convenience of reference.
