Good Crop of Potatoes. — Henry Butman, of 
Dixmont, Maine, states in the Boston Cultivator, that 
he raised 1000 bushels of potatoes on 14 acres of ground. 
The variety was the Long-reds, or “ Merinos.” They 
grew on a deep soil, on which had been burned, the 
year previous, a large quantity of rubbish, logs, bushes, 
&c., and the ashes plowed in. The next season the 
potatoes were planted, after another plowing, without 
any dressing. 
MONTHLY NOTICES. 
Cultivator Office.— -The publisher of The Culti¬ 
vator, having become the proprietor of the “ Albany 
Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store,” has taken the 
large store, No. 10 Green-st., in the most central part 
of the City, to which he has removed the offices of the 
Cultivator and the Horticulturist, together with his Ag, 
Warehouse and Seed Store, and where he will at all 
times be pleased to receive calls from any of his sub- 
seribers who may visit the city. 
{(CfpJoHN P. Norton, Esq., of Farmington, Ct., left 
here on the 16th of September last for Europe. His 
intention, we understand, is to pass a year, or more, at 
various scientific institutions; and on his return to this 
country, it is expected he will assume the duties be¬ 
longing to the newly-established professorship of che¬ 
mistry, &c., at Yale College. Mr. N. took Scotland on 
his way to the continent, and from Edinburgh we have 
an interesting letter from him, which we shall give in 
our January number. He will also favor us, as here¬ 
tofore, with frequent communications, which, as our 
readers will be glad to learn, will appear from time to 
time in our columns. 
Prof. Agassis, of Neuf-Chatel. This gentleman, 
of whom it may safely be said that he stands at the 
head of living naturalists, has arrived in this country 
since our last number went to press. He intends spend¬ 
ing at least two years in the United States, to study our 
natural history in every department, both fossil and 
recent. Having already made a rapid tour of our prin¬ 
cipal cities, and visited naturalists of these places, he 
has returned to Boston, preparatory to his course of 
lectux*es at the Lowell Institute. In his visit to our city 
and the State Geological Rooms, he highly compli¬ 
mented the liberality of our legislators in commencing 
and continuing the scientific researches which have 
resulted in so splendid a collection, and the publica¬ 
tion of a work which, he says, is sought eagerly for 
in every part of Europe, and which has induced so 
many distinguished foreign naturalists to visit us, and 
will bring many more. The visits of such men do more 
to render our country and its resources appreciated 
abroad, than hundreds of those travellers who come 
here to kill time and to gossip, and we shall soon see 
and feel the results, in the softening of those prejudices 
which have been engendered and kept up abroad 
against America and Americans. For Prof. Agassis, a 
pupil of the great Cuvier, a name reverenced among 
naturalists, we bespeak the most cordial reception 
among our friends, and which we know will be as freely 
accorded to the man as to the philosopher. 
Yield of Wheat in England. —The average yield 
of wheat in Britain, is put down in statistical works at 
26 bushels per acre, the yield having increased, within 
a few years, 8 bushels per acre. Mr. Colman states 
that in his intercourse with the British farmers, he has 
seldom found the yield, under good cultivation, less 
than 32 bushels, and that he has frequently found it full 
40 bushels. He states, further, that he is informed, on 
the best authority, on the redeemed lands (“ fens,”) of 
Lincolnshire, the yield is very often from 56 to 64 
bushels per acre. One farmer in Berkshire assured Mr. 
C. that his crop on a large farm averaged 56 bushels to 
the acre; and he adds that it has been well attested that 
a crop in Norfolk, the same year, produced 90 bushels 
and three pecks per acre—“the largest yield,” says Mr. 
C., “ within my knowledge.” 
Seed-Corn. —We have received from Mr. Eli Root, 
of Orwell, Vt., a bushel of Indian corn of a variety 
cultivated by him, and in reference to which he says— 
“ I send you a box of seed-corn of a kind my father 
brought from Pittsfield, Mass., fifty-six years ag’o last 
March, and which has ever since been planted on my 
farm. You see it is not quite run out yet, though it 
has not been improved by crossing The corn is cer¬ 
tainly a handsome sample—the ears long, (8 rowed,) 
well filled over the cob, and the kernels large, plumps 
and bright. We see but one objection to it, and due
