with the facts as they apply to his practice, and if he has 

 vach confidence in these facts that he is willing to act in 

 accordance to them, there is not the least necessity that 

 he should occupy his time and burden his mind with all 

 the abstruse processes of reasoning and experimental 

 proof by which the chemist has been enabled to trace 

 out their connection with the complex phenomena which 

 they serve to illustrate. — Lecture by Dr. Madden, of 

 Penicuik, Edinburgh. * 



Taint or Dry Rot in the Potato. — From the expe- 

 rience I have had in the cultivation of the Potato, I have 

 come to the conclusion that the taint or dry rot owes its 

 origin entirely to an injudicious method of planting the 

 seed ; and after mature consideration, I have alopted a 

 system of planting, which I have practised for 20 years 

 with such success, as never once to have had an instance 

 of dry rot among my Potato crops during that time, 

 although they were sometimes growing in direct con- 

 tiguity to other Potatoes, which, from being planted in 

 a different manner, were labouring under the effects of 

 the disease. It shall now be my endeavour, in as simple 

 and concise a manner as possible, to lay this system be- 

 fore my readers, convinced that they will in practice find 

 it a most effectual remedy for the disease in question. 

 The chief cause of this disease I consider to be the pre- 

 valent error in planting the Potato, of placing the seed 

 in a quantity of dung laid in the middle of the drill. 

 Any one who knows anything of the qualities of dung, 

 knows that it is of itself incapable of promoting vegeta- 

 tion, or sustaining vegetable life, until decomposed, and 

 incorporated with a portion of earthy soil, and it is not 

 therefore to be wondered at that disease and failures in 

 the Potato crops are so prevalent. The wonder is, that, 

 while such a system of planting is persevered in, any of 

 these crops should succeed at all under such treatment ; 

 and indeed this is only to be accounted for by the small 

 quantity and inferior quality of the dung applied, which 

 is generally found mixed with great quantities of half- 

 rotten straw and other extraneous substances, such as 

 coal-cinders, &c, and were it not that the fresh earth is 

 laid immediately on the top of the dung after the seed is 

 planted, the failure of the crops would be to a much 

 larger extent ; of this I have no doubt. The ground too, 

 if in a very impoverished state, may by speedily digest- 

 ing and drying up the dung prevent to a great extent a 

 total failure of the crop, although the seed were planted 

 thus injudiciously in the midst of the dung ; for it will 

 be observed that in such ground the rot is not so de- 

 structive as in rich deep soils. The first and great point, 

 therefore, in setting the Potato, is to have the manure 

 properly commingled with the soil before introducing 

 the seed, the plan I adopt in planting, which is briefly 

 aa follows : — In preparing a parcel of ground for the re- 

 ception of the Potato seed, I proceed to have the manure 

 spread regularly over the surface, and evenly dug in. I 

 then either drill the ground, after the manner of gar- 

 deners in sowing peas, and plant the Potatoes in the 

 drill, or plant them with a dibble, without drilling, about 

 two or three inches beneath the surface, the dibble being 

 formed with a broad point, so as to insure the Potato 

 having no open space left beneath it, when dropped into 

 the hole. For large fields, which cannot well be dug or 

 planted in this manner, I would recommend the ground 

 to be prepared and the dung spread exactly as for Oats 

 or Barley. Then have the ground drilled, and in plant- 

 ing place the seed Potato in the clean soil, on the back 

 of the half drill, formed by the return of the plough, 

 which half drill should be made larger than ordinary, to 

 bring the seed as near to the centre of the drill as pos- 

 sible, so as to afford it every advantage of the fresh soil 

 to vegetate in. In this way the fructifying earth, in 

 which the seed is embedded, will secure it healthful 

 vegetation, and as it progresses in its growth, and so 

 ■oon as it throws out roots, it will reap the full benefit 

 of the manure contained in the surrounding soil. It is 

 of the utmost importance to have the seed planted, so as 

 it may have the earth both below and above it when put 

 in ; for in keeping the seed free from the dung, I appre- 

 hend, lies the whole secret, which should be particularly 

 attended to. — From a work on this subject, by J. Smith.

Rural Cjikmistry. By Edward Solly, Esq., F.R.S., Experi- 

 mental Chemist to the Horticultural Society of London, Hon.

Analysis.— Subscriber.— Thank you. We may possibly here- 

 after give directions for detecting adulterations, but our 

 views of the subject of your letter you will gather from an 

 extract of a lecture by Dr. Madden, in our miscellaneous 

 section on the proper connection between the chemist and 

 the farmer. 



Banbury Guardian— W. B.-Wc always insert quotations 

 in our miscellaneous section, and are careful to acknowledge 

 the source of them. « w. H M Reading,- is a known corres- 

 pondent of ours : his communications reached us in the form 

 of a manuscript letter. If he copied that communication 

 from you, without acknowledgment, he was much to blame. 



^"/1l Beg l" n * r T The anthor is Mr - Warnes, of Trimingham, 

 Norfolk. Apply to any bookseller. 



Ho*s*roxDS.—Reader.-lf the pond is not large, and the 



water very black, fling charcoal dust in, anjstir about till the 



water is nearly muddy j then lift the water all out by buckets 



or otherwise, and soak heaps of leaves, weeds, earth, fcc, 



with it ; you will thus make a good compost. 



LIQUID Manure.— A Subscriber.— Measures should be taken 



either for hindering the formation of volatile salts of ammonia 



In it, (see Mr. Bree's paper in another page,) or for fixing 



them as soon as they are formed. Where it is preserved on a 



large scale, the cheapest plan of applying it is to soak the 



dungheap with it, and to gather together composts of all kinds 



of rubbish, weed, and soil of any kind around the tank, for 



the purpose of being soaked with the urine daily collected in 



it. The expense and Jabour of applying the liquid to the land 



are very great, and it is thus much cheaper to soak heaps of 

 solid materials, and cart it to the land with the compost ; but 

 then it must not be allowed to lie there long before being 

 ploughed in. You will find lengthened remarks on this subject 

 in this paper during the course of the next few weeks. Allow 

 us to recommend Mr. Hannam's w<>rk on Waste Manures: 



I it refers to the subject of your inquiries. We shall be better 

 able to answer your questions about burnt clay next week. — 

 — A Young Rural.— Apply it diluted with an equal weight of 

 water, at a little distance from the plants. Soot at the rate 

 of 40 bushels, and guano at the rate of three or four cwts. per 

 acre, are useful manures, and you may advantageously apply 

 them, mixing them well with the soil near the plants, by 

 hoeing or digging. Beetroots will increase in size by stirring 



the earth round them, not by pulling the leaves. X. C. — 



If it is not much diluted, 500 gallons will require 200 lbs. of 

 gypsum or 120 lbs. of sulphuric acid to neutralise it, (see Mr. 

 Bree's paper in another page). Gypsum, if in solution, will 

 be decomposed by the carbonate of ammonia. If you can 

 ascertain that there is any of the latter salt in the waste of 

 your kitchen, it will be useful to add gypsum to that waste, 

 as the carbonate, a volatile salt, becomes the sulphate, a fixed 

 salt, of ammonia, by the decomposition which will ensue. j 



Lucbrnk.— J. Heaton.— There does not appear anything in your 

 specimen, except its luxuriant growth, to distinguish it from 

 the ordinary variety ; but you will be better able to judge of 



this when it is in flower. G S P.— You cannot do better than 



grow Lucerne for your purpose. We only know of one 

 variety. J 



Manures.— C. T.— Bleaching powder is chloride of lime. 

 Willey dust is the refuse separated from wool during the 

 process of cleansing. We do not know what Scutch is. 



Milch Cows. — G. is informed that the surest plan to procure 

 Guernsey cows genuine, is in the island itself. The price 



varies from 12/. to 15/. G. E. D.—We have not " G.'s" 



address ; and your notice is an advertisement. 



Potatoes.— X. Z.— There is nothing like good farm-yard 

 manure for Potatoes ; there is not that necessity for its being 

 well rotted in the case of the Potato that there is in the case 

 of the Turnip. Apply about 30 cubic yards per acre. The 

 Irish White Apple is one of the best pig Potatoes. The names 

 of other varieties for consumption will be found in a leading 

 article in a late Number of the paper. 



Steeping Seeds. — 4. Huxtable. — Rapidity in the vegetation of 

 8eed3 is often very advantageous j and so far the more rapid 

 the growth of doctored seed, the greater is the value of the 

 steep employed. Thanks for your letter. 



Transplanting Swedes. — L. L. — A seed-bed of 20 or 30 perches 

 should suffice for 7 acres of land. Sow about 2 or 3 lbs. of 

 seed upon it. 



Turnips. — liustieus.— An acre of good Turnips may be worth 

 10/. or 11/. to carry off the land j and the consumption of them 

 on the land may be equal to a manuring of 10 or 12 tons of 

 good dung, equal in value to 3/. or 4/. per acre. 



Miscellaneous.— T. J. H.— We have mislaid your address; if 

 you will forward it, you shall hear about your vols, of the 



Chronicle. 4. B.—A typographical error occurred last 



week in our notice of the question you put to " A Farmer 

 and Valuer." What you ask for is the average gross produce, 

 not the produce of the grass land.

MARK-LANE, Monday, May 6. 



We had a moderate supply of Wheat this morning from the home 

 counties, the finest samples of which realised an advance of Is. per. 

 qr., and the secondary qualities fully the prices of this day 



unight.— Free Foreign met an improved inquiry, and a fair ex- 

 tent of business was done in retail sales at our quotations. — Barley 

 maintains its late value, the dry weather inducing holders to ask 

 rather more money, but the sale is lim ted for both English and 



OtelgH. — Beans ana Peas aicfully la. pa qr. deaim.- -There &■> 



been a good sale of Oats at an advance of 6d. per qr.

The arrivals of English Wheat during the week have been mo- 

 derate, and the few samples fresh up for this morning's market, 

 sell readily at our Monday's quotations ; there was a fair attend- 

 ance of country buyers, apparently with the intention of purchasing 

 Free Foreign Wheat, but as they offered generally 2s. less than the 

 factors were disposed to accept, and that for retail quantities only, 

 but little business was done.— There was some inclination shown 

 to purchase Dantzig f. o. b. and also Polish and Marionopoli afloat. 

 —Barley is very dull, the great bulk. of the importation is going 

 direct to the distillers ; for that offering on the market (a great 

 proportion of which is in bad condition,) great difficulty is experi- 

 enced in effecting sales.— Beans and Peas fully support the advance 

 noted on Monday, and Egyptian are selling at 19*. f. o. b. including 

 freight and insurance.— The Oat trade is rather heavy, buyers 

 holding off in anticipation of better supplies.

POTATOES.— Southwark Waterside, May 6. 



Thb weather during the past week -(Saturday excepted) has been, like 

 several preceding, oppressively hot, which continues to depress our Market, 

 there being many lots of inferior samples from former arrivals unsold, and 

 where it was necessary to clear vessels coming on demurrage further reduc- 

 tions were submitted to, and other lots have been put into the stores in cues 

 in which sales could not be effected. The best samples moved off heavily at 

 former quotations, the dealers only buying for present consumption, and that 

 being considerably lessened by the heat ot the weather. Potatoes from Bel- 

 gium, Holland, and Ireland are selling from 40s to 45s. The supplies during 

 the past week have been limited, but are fully equal to the demand, and th« 

 annexed prices have been barely supported.
