THE POTATO DISEASE. FjiQM THE "AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE." The cure of the potato disease is hopeless. None of the So-called speeiics are of much or any avail. Cutting off the tops arresti the growth of the tubers, but it does not stop the disease on the contrary, they go on decaying as before, not only with the tops off, but when lifted clean out of the ground and stored in fresh earth. Dustings of soot, sulphur, lime, eveuchem;cal fumes, are equally un- availing. Once the spot falls upon the ciop, it is doomed, not that it is always wholly destroyed *ar from it. Terrible as the disease is, it seldom runs through to the bitter end of total destruction; amid tons of r,)'tenness, at the worst thre is generally a residue -f sound tubers. The disease works and ceases to work in obedience to laws of which we know but little we neither comprehend nor can control them. The only forces that seem able to cope with or check the disease are sudden and complete climatic changes. As a general rule, the disease comes on the heels ot rain, and it goes with settled dry weather. Could we measure o'.t the quantity of the rain, or com- mand the sun to shine at pleasure, doubtless we might cure the potato disease, but, as we cannot do either, we must turn to the consideration of preventive measures. cor The more virulent and incurable any disease, the more care we should exercise to keep out of its way. It is to change of place, of time, or of condition, that we must look far deliverance from the potato disease. It is matter of experience that were a change of place possible the di- sease could be prevented. Under glass, the disease can be avoided or brought on at pleasure. But practically the place must remain the same. It is impossible to grow our supplies under glass. The open field or garden must con- tinue to be the potato ground. Dry sweet soils, surface planting with a ridge over the sets nine inches or more in depth, the disuse of rank manure in direct contact with the sets, and other precautionary cultural me.sures, may prove useful, but cannot insure immunity from disease. The question of time is the most vital one. A bout six weeks between the middle of July and the end of August may be designated as pre eminently the disease period. With this fact couple another or two equally important. Potatoes quite ripe or crops very green are safe. A cer- tain state of growth, probably best defined as approaching maturity, seems necessary for the development of this di- sease. On these correlated facts we found the hope of saving the early or late crops. The first may be harvested before the disease comes, and the latter shunted, as it were, into a green siding, while the disease sweeps past. It is, however, the first plan that is the most hopeful. Experience teaches the possibility of ripening the early varieties by July. Neither is there any lack of such sorts. To specify only a few first and second earlies—the walnut- leaved, itfnna's pride, ringleader, and Gloucestershire, among kidney; and among rounds the early Oxford, Handsworth, Coldstream, and Dalmahoy are good first earlies. With special preparation of the seed and foster- ing culture, such varieties as the early rose, Kivers' royal ashleaf, Berkshire k:dney (a sort of early fluke and splendid potato) and Haigh's seedling, anong kidneys and fortyfol-ls, king, flourball (white and red-skinned), and other rounds might either be harvested or so far matured as to be disease-proof by the same period. Most of these varieties, if stored in dry earth, will keep good for the greater part of the season. It is a fact established beyond all controversy that potatoes stored before the dis- ease appea's are safe, while those stored afterwards, whether visibly affected at the time of storing or not, dusted with lime, charcoal dust, sulphur, aught else, or not, are not safe. Hence the superlative importance of growing the more early varieties and good keepers thus may we save our crops and cheat the disease of its prey. Again, by planting early varieties late, say in June, or growing the latest varieties, such as the regents, Manchester blues, pink-eyed kidney, flukes and lapstones, late, planting in April instead of March, the crop may possibly be shunted, as we have said, out of the way of the disease. We have observed the safety of late crops for years, and during an extended journey through Scotland recently we were par- ticularly impressed with the difference in regard to time of development of the disease in the two countries In Scotland the disease seemed about a month later than in East Argiia, corresponding, as near as may be, to the differing stages of maturity of the crops in those widely separated districts. Even the most likely atmospheric conditions seem powerless to induce disease till the suscep- tible status bordering on maturity is reached. More marvellous still, we have observed again and again that by lifting some potatoes planted in Jun" though the tops were stricken with the disease (an unusual occurrence) the tubers were safe and sound. And as the disease in an average of seasons exhausts its strength in a month or six weeks, there may be time after the end of August to ripen the later crops before winter. Doubtless the yield will not be so heavy as from those planted earlier; but the disease has well ni3rh reduced us to a choice of evils, and a light crop of sound potatoes is this year a great success. Our last preventive measure consists in effecting certain changes in tb" condition of the p)tat; Time the crops, so th it in the season of danger they may'be too ripe or too green for the disease to hit. But we can do m 1re than this. The best physicians tell us that a well-balanced circulation is th. bast antidote to disease. It keeps and throws it (if, like water from a duck's back. Vigorous health in vegetable life has an analogous resisting power. How is this to be produced ? Chiefly by greening our seed potatoes, not in the ordinary way of spreading the tubers on to the surfae after they are ripened, but by exposing them to the air a part or a whole of the time they a; e growing. Grow the seed potatoes in the air as much as in the earth. It is a curious fac1. that green potatoes arc generally disease-proof. We should like to hear the ex- perience of others on this point before affirming that they are always so. The greening effects chemical changes, and renders the tubers unfit for food. In rloing s,) it seems to endow them with new powers of growth. Greened tubers throw up sturdy shoots almost like one's little finger. This vigour is impaired by storing in heaps and pits. Greened seed should be wintered in single file in any frost-proof shtd or building the cooler the better if the frost is ex- cluded. The object is to keep the tubers from growing as long as possible, so that they may be planted with tceir tree-like shoots intact. This is not always possible wita the late varieties, but it ia with all the earlier, and is, in fact, the secret of early harvesting a month, or s^x weeks is gained by carefully planting potatoes with their first shoots entire. One, or at the most three shoots to a set are ample all beyond that should b3 rubbed off, or, better still, gouged out. A multiplicity of shoots is not only pro- ductive of succulencj of growth that invites disease, but is the cause of weakness, and the parent of small potatoes. One shoot to a set is preferable to a dozen, or half a dozen, and may yield a greater weight, and of far higher quality. We conclude by summarising our remarks into a single sentence, thus :-To prevent the potato disease, grow only early and late varieties, and green all the seed.— F.

MRS. PHELPS AND THE RIVER POLLUTION MR S. PHELPS ANI) THE RIVER POLXUTIO', COMMISSIONERS AT MACHYNLLETH. SiR, --I should feel obliged if you would allow me, in justice to mvself, to make a little explanation in reply to Mr Phelps's'letter uf corrections" which appeared in your last impression, inasmuch as it impugns the accuracy of mv report of the meeting of the Rivers Pollution Com- mission at Machynlleth, on Monday, October 7th. Un, fortunately, Mr Phelps suffers from extreme deafness, and seemed at times confused by not having properly under- stood the questions asked him. Then he would not only answer the questions, but, to use a quotation, would make explana- tions which were indistinct. I will gi^e question and answer, with reference to Mr Phelps's first "correction :— Dr Frankland—Have you visited these four mines on the iver ? Mr Phelps—Yes, I have at different times, in former years. "DrF-Yoaare probably, then, not acquainted with the arrangements for catching slime ? Mr P.yes, I have seen them. I h ive been at Dylife since they have made them but I have not seen what Sir John Conroy h&s eIsne. I am sorry to say scarcely anything has been dose there. In consequence of Mr Bell's writing to people they asked me to go there and see what was doing. I will not trouble ycu with any further copy of notes, but simplv say there is a (Tifference between what Mr Phelps seemed desirous of saying and what he did actually say and I venture to assert that my report was as faith- ful a representation of the statements as possibly could be made in a condensed form out of Mr Phelps's state- ment. October 19th, 1872. YOUR REPORTER. MR HOMERSHAM COX. Sin,-The old steering apparatus with which different Ministries or Governments have long guided the vessel of State has been that known as policy or expediency, but now another motive power or principle, called justice, con- tests for participation in the control of the old vessel. It is a happy stroke to a Ministry when policy and justice are synonymous terms. It will fill their sails with favourable breezes. But measures combining the two are like angels' visits in their unfrequencj'—those passed with a view to pacify Ireland were doubtless approximations. With regard to Wales there are several questions affecting its interests, about the policy orjust ce of interfering with which opinions may be as varied as the poles are asunder, but there is one anomaly amongst us about which there can be no two opinions- to wit, the continuance of Mr Hornerslvim Cox as county court judge in a district in which the Welsh language so decidedly predominates. This gentleman's appointment som-e time since gave occasion to a stiong remonstrance, which was general throughout the Principality. This national protest culminated in an elo- quent philippic delivered at t. Stephen's by one of the members for Wales (Mr G. Osborne Morgan). The result of this agitation was a promise i, om Government that the grievance should be removed, but a promise this to the ear only, for the evil still continues. The latest specimens of its effects is given us by a recent county court at Machyn- lleth, which leceived editorial comment in the Camhrian Nt:ics. and which presents us with proofs of how the ad- ministration of justice may be travestied or made to ap- pear ridiculous, instead of being as it should be iike Caesar's wife, not only chaste but above the brea'h of scandal." Mr Cox's continuance ex-officio in Wales, and in face of vacancies in England, is a continued insult to the Welsh language and cause of great inconvenience to all having to attend the county court, through most of the cases demanding double the time they would. have done before a judge conversant with the vernacular. It is thus not a question affecting Welshmen only, but all to whom time is a consideration. If the present Government, although having the so-called people's William" as its head, is not amenable to' reason and justice, the resource is to bring pressure to bear, which will enlighten the Government- especially now a good deal of obtuseness in the person of Lord Hatherler, late Lord Chancellor, has left them—to Sc2e that policy and justice alike call for the removal of the cause of such widespread dissatisfaction. This pressure can be brought about by a c oalition of Welsh members. By-the-by, why cannot the Parliamentary representatives of Wales and other gentlemen of every shade of politics have a common platform on which they might, for the nonce, cast aside dif- ferences on other public questions. At present we never have gentlemen of opposite political views meeting in friendly confabulations except at agricultural shows and meetings of that cast. Why not have as a platform some subject which may concern the interests of the country. Here is a plat- form, a case in point, whereon all colours or shades of politics may meet, viz., to redress the grievance constituted in the presence of an English county court judge, entirely ignorant of the language of the great body of the people amongst whom he does duty. In order then to have Mr Homersham Cox removed to a more congenial sphere we must Awake, arise,"or be for ever fallen."—I am, &c., MARTELLO.

HARVEST THANKSGIVINGS. TOWYN. — Thanksgiving services for the harvest were held on Thursday, the 24th October.

Jenkins, Sarny, and Mr Davies, Welshpool; Messrs R. Roberts. J. Morris, and D. Jones also took part in the services. The congregation was unusually large. CHIRK.—A special service for thanksgiving for the har- vest was held in the parish chureh, on Tuesday evening, October loth, when the church was most tastefully deco- rated by Miss and Miss Edith Maude, Mrs Biggeand Miss 0/le, Trevor House, Miss Whitfield, New Hall, and Miss Williams, Halton Farm. The service was full choral. The prayers were read by the Rev. Samuel Maude, and the lessons. by the Rev. Mr Lewis. The "Benedicite Omnia Opera" was substituted for the "fagnificat." The psalms appointed for the service were those for the last evening of the month and were chanted. The sermon, which was most appropriate for the occasion, was preached by the Rev. J. Maude, the Vicar, from the eighth chapter of Genesis, and the twenty-second verse. The church was well filled. A collection in aid of the infants' school, which :s about to be erected in the village, was made after the sermon.

THE LUDLOW CLUB.—The owner and rider of Punch were called before the Stewards to account for the sus- picious manner in which the horse was ridden in the County Members' Plate, when, after hearing the explana- tion, the Stewards decided that Mr Giles, the rider, had been guilty of a great error in judgment, and reprimanded him accordingly. The Stewards have over-ruled the (ib- ject ion against Sybarite, who came in first for the Ferney Hall Nursery. UPPER SEVERN AND VERIEW-" A. in the FUld. writing on October 17th, -savs—It has been the same old tale of flooded rivers and no fishing since my last com- munication. Last Saturday morning there was a heavy coat of snow on the Berwyn Mountains, which remained there for several days. The Verniew was getting down into something like fishing condition on Tuesday night, after three days of fine weather, with sharp fiosty morn- ings and most lovely sunny days but this was followed by another downpour of -rain, so that last night the rivers were again bank full. The Verniew is now sinking again rapidly, and if there is no more rain it will b-3 fit for angling by Monday. Some of the upper catches will pro- bably be in order for the sadmon rod by Saturday. THE SEVERN.—This river has been in flood for several days. Heavy water has come down from the upper country, and it has been quite unfit for any sort of ang- ling for several days, and is likely to be so for some time to come. The fresh has brought down the first run of eels seawards. which afford a profitable autumnal harvest for the fishermen. Whatever may be the case elsewhere, there is no reluctance on the part of the residents of Salop, Wor- cestershire, or Gloucestershire, -through which the Severn runs, to use the eel as an article of food, as may be im- agined when they find a ready sale at from 9d. to Is. per pound. Some writers on the subject of utilising pond fish, speak of the Welsh as refusing to eat this fish -if it is a fiib but, according to my experience of Taffy, he has decidedly no objection to it as an article of food. I hear of but few salmon having been seen running up the Severn during this and last week's flood. Few have been noticed in the estuary, and fewer in the middle course of the river above the tideway, which reaches up to Tewkes. bu rv.-S. in the Field. MR JOHN MTTXON.—A subscription has been set on foot to make some provision for the wife and seven children of Mr Mytton, who, we regret to state, are in anything but flourishing circumstances. A son of the famous" Jack," he possessed as big a heart, and an equally generous disposition, which was terribly imposed upon in his youth. "Y oung Jack" never refused the helping hand" of charity or of friendship, when pos- sessed of the means and it is to be hoped this appeal on on behalf of his family to the generosity of old friends, d.nd sportsmen iR general, will not be in vain. Lord Com- bermere has interested himself in the good cause in the c county of Shropshire, which is a guarantee for others to follow suit; and a list is also open at Tattersall's. SALMON ANGLING OF 1872.—Altogether, English anglers may afford a respite for the annual wail we have been accustomed to hear of having done badly on the whole. It is understood in some quarters, at least, that the net fishing has not. yielded as largely as in the two preceding years; but from what we hear we are inclined to think that the Inspectors' report, when furnished in the spring, will show that the falling cff in the net fishing is more apparel,t than real. The truth is. the constant and heavy floods of the past season have changed considerably the point at which the heaviest captures were made on some rivers. Thus the report of the Severn Conservators, which has been recently published, shows that the fresh water netters on that river have had in the past summer the best season of which there is any record, while the tidal netters experienced a yery bad fishing year; indeed, the total of the Severn capture was far below an average one, though with respect to other rivers not only does the angling of 1872 seem greatly improved, but the capture by nets is said to be in excess of 1871.-Sporting Gazette. THE PRINCE OF WALES AND THE CHILLINGHAM WILD CATTLE.-The Prince of Wales on Thursday, Oct. 17th, visited the Home Park belonging to Chillingham Castle, and there took part in a great wild-bull hunt. The forest of Chilling ham is famous for its wild cattle, the herd which ranges in it generally consisting of some sixty or seventy animals. The wood itself is l,500.acres in extent, and comprises every variety of scenery. The Royal party left the castle about half-past eight o'clock, the Prince riding on a pony to the park. When on the verge of the wood his Royal HighneEs dismounted, and with Lord Tankerville entered a dogcart, in which he was driven a few hundred yards, when the herd was perceived at no great distance, quietly browsing on a plain by the side of a stream. The cattle appeared to be divided into two herds, one consisting mainly of cows and calves, and the other of bulls, the latter being led by the king bull. The intention of the Prince was to shoot, if possible, the leaner of the latter herd, and, consequently the Royal party fol- lowed the bulls as rapidly as possible. After a sharp chase,'the king bull became separated from the rest of the animals, and, making a rapid retreat in the direction of the castle, was followed by the Prince through the wood. Again, the king bull contrived to rejoin the berd, and frustrated the intention of his Royal Highness to single him out. On a forward movement being made by the Royal party, the game rushed in a westerly direction, headed by the king bull. At this moment the Prince shouldered his rifle, and, taking aim at a distance of seventy yards, fired at the leader of the herd. The bullet entered the animal's neck, and killed it immediately. A number of ladies and gentlemen, seeing his success, gave a loud cheer, and then accompanied the Royal party to the slain bull, which proved to be a magnificent animal, about seven years old. The trophy was carried in triumph to the Castle, where it was shown to the Princess of Wales, the Countess of Tankerville, and the other visitors. The carcase was found to weigh upwards of sixty stone. The head will be preserved to ornament the hall at San- dringham. In the afternoon the Prince of Wales and party had a few hours' pheasant E hooting. -Globe.

Till a very late hour, the visit of the Prince vas held in doubt, for, though his horses had been sent down the night before, some uncertainty characterised the language of the telegram which preceded their arrival. When the earlier trains came in, and the Prince was not in any of them, hope of his appearance on the heath began to be gradually abandoned. It was, therefore, with satisfaction of the livelier kind which foHows on the decline of expeciancy, that the Prince was recognised, on horseback, near the stand at the head of the town, where the Cambridgeshire finishes. To describe the race is next to impossible, but the betting was fast and furious. A cry tbat Salvanos was beaten—has been beaten from the firt--is heard. It mingles with many other cries, but is not drowned by them; for the fact which it proclaims is one of deep import for hundreds of hearers. Imprecations, lamentations, actual screams of dismayed rage and pain grate harshly on the ear, amidst the loud cheering that greets the victory of Playfair as the horses are sweeping past the judge's chair.
