Burt in Wheat. it is at present well established that rust in grain is produced from the spores ui a microscopical lungus growing upon tlio barberry aDd various roogh-Jeavod plants, alder, Ac. These, falling upon the leaves of the cereals and; other grasses, develop very rapidly, and in , turn yield ine summer spores oi a similar character, by which the affection is propagated with inconceivable quickness. The winter spores, which are produced last, form' on the first-named plants other fn norm growths the next year," and thereby secure .nii-i-miunuanceoi me rust irom season to season. . .

If used at all as manure, however, it should be kept for grass-lands or fields in which grain is not raised. Agricultural Report, 1872. Proper Method of Storing Potatoes. According to the English "Mechanic, potatoes should always be stored in as dry a state as possible, and should any disease be discovered amonc them, small quantities only should be pitted together; certainly not more than thirty bushels in each pit. ' In the center of this pit should be placed a lump of lime about the size of a man's head, and before covering them in they should receive good dusting of quick lime. The lime absorbs the mois ture during the time the potatoes sweat, and by so doing prevents the tubers from overheating, while its application also greatly improves the quality of the pota toes, no doubt absorbing much of the wa ter from the t.nhflrs n nr! fAnannnnntl., making them more mealy than if pitted without lime.- After the potatoes have been lying in the pit for at least a month, they should be carefulfv looked may be placed together in one or more large pits, in the center of which should be placed a large basket of hard lumps of lime, or, should the pits be in the form of long trenches, it will bo well to place other baskets at about twelve feet apart. The whole heap should alBO be we'll sprinkled with lime before covering it. The pit should be made low and narrow, as they are thus less liable to heat than if made wide and high.
