IE FARMINGWORLD. POTATO SCAB NOTES. ;CuUaee Which Proiluw the Trouble and _ IlOWto Keinovn Them. I’rof. L. II. Pannnel writes to the Qrauge Jutlcl Farmer; Numerous heories have been advanced to account r potato scab. Some of these (five, as uses, excessive moisture in the soil, liich affects the small, rough dots on .ho potato, and known as lenticela, or ijrritation by. some foreign substance in the soil.’ The potato, in the attempt ’to repair the injury* forms a corky <substance which results in the “scab.” It has also been supposed that certain substances, like lime or lime oxide, by irritating tbo tuber may produce •‘scab.” Observation has also shown thjit stable manure may influence scab. None of these theories seem to stand a crucial test, and as Dr. Thaxter well says; “are involved and involve each other in a mass of contradictions with a result of nothing definite in any case.” 5 ■ During the last year and a half some, important experiments have been made tot appear to set aside the various toories which attribute the cause to bn inorganic cause. Prof. H. L. Bolley, August, 1890,‘read a paper/before the ericau Association for the Advance^ lent of Science, in which he came to to conclusion that surface scab was l i k . j 1) r t potato scab cells . • (A fter Bolley.) due to a specific bacterium. A few. months later Dr. Thaxter read a paper at the Champaign meeting of the Asso­ ciation of Agricultural Colleges and Experiment stations,"iti which he gave the results of some experiments with a fungus that he- had isolated from deep eSfeab. I t was an easy matter to cultivate this fungus in nutrient media like agar, gelatin, or potato, and then inoculate potatoes' and produce -scab. ' These experiments have recently been confirmed by Prof. Bolley, who finds that the Thaxter fungus causes scab in North Dakota. I am convinced the ib in Iowa is identical with that :ribed by Dr. Thaxter. I t has of- ton been my lot to pick up potatoes just after, they were dug, and I have always seen a peculiar grayish mold, but when taken to the laboratory and examined it disappeared; but when placed in a botanizing can and left for a timd, the growth becomes more prom- lent. This substance consists of :ctSlria-like bodies that are more or Coherent, repelling water and even tcohol. The very careful work of these experimenters leaves no 4 0Ub t as to the cause of scab. Planters, therefore, should select good - seed. Prof. Bolley also advises the use of cor­ rosive sublimate -in the following way; ' ‘Procure an ordinary barrel and fit into the base a common wood faucet. Purchase'two ounces of finely pulver­ ized corrosive sublimate, empty this all into two gallons of hot water and allow it to stand oyer night or until all dis­ solved. Plr.ee in the barrel thirteen gallons of water, then pour into it the two-gallon solution. Allow this -solu­ tion to stand in the barrel four or fire hours, during which time it is several •times thoroughly agitated. To Insnre equality of solution before using* select as fair seed potatoes as possible, wash off all the dirt and immerse as many as you can or wlBh to treat at one time in the solution, one and a half hours. The solution can then be turned info another vessel and .may be used several times. When the potatoes are dty* they can be cat and planted, oh they may be cut before treatment. In using corrosive sublimate great cau­ tion should be used, slnee it is a power- fnbpoison. * FACTS FOR FARMERS. G eorge J. K ellogg says the soil for small fruits* including grapes, should be rich enough to raise one hundred bushels of corn per acre. Side hills that wash should be avoided* yet southern slope for grapes and early strawberries Is best* northern slope for late berries. A. \V< P eaiisos , a pioneer in the spraying business, now sounds a note of warning: book out, or the cop­ per will damage the soil so the frnlt tree and grape ivlne will not thrlvfe. To destroy the fuhgus and save the frnit this year may be to destroy both fruit and tree In later years. ' 1 am of the opinion that in ten years from now, or perhaps less, a herd of cattle with horns will be as hard to find as a herd Of xhboleya has been In tile past, The practice of dehorning Is growing in favor, and I have yet to find a man Who has dehorned a herd who Is not pleased with the results.-- Waldo F, BroWn, T uk new Idea that the manure should be as carefully preserved from unnecessarywaste as any other product of the farm Is hard to put In practice after having stored for forty year* the farmyard manure under the eaves open the steep hillside which forms a*1* border of the running brook,— v I’M 1 1 , r .

At a recent New York dairy-school meeting the question was asked: ' ‘Should farmers feed their coarse or coarsest fodder a t the beginning of winter?” Such is usually the practice. But Mr. Powell very sensibly replied: “I think it is a mistake to do so. My own opinion is, we should feed our best food to our cattle and sheep when they first gp- into the stables in the falL” Mr, Ives added:. "That is true of sheep; they are a delicate animal, and the first month of winter is a trying and important one with them, especially with .the lambs. If they must be fed coarse fodder, give it to them later— January or after,” This is common sense and fully in accord with science. In shifting from grass to hay, some­ thing like a gradual change should be made, and not only good, nutritious food be fed, but silage or roots of some kind be mixed with it, If the food is coarse and innutritious, . enough fine and concentrated food should be fed along with it to furnish sufficient nutri­ ents to sustain the animal system without too much distension of the stomach and bowels; and a due balance should, be preserved between the carbonaceous or heating ele­ ments and the nitrogenous or muscle and. tisane-producing elements The colder the weather, if the animdl is ex­ posed to it, the more carbonaceous ma­ terial is required to keep up (lie heat of the body. But to get enough of .ono kind of element, the amimal should not be compelled to consume an ex­ cess of the other kind, thus clogging the' system with what is not needed' and must be worked off at the expense o f the vital energy; nor must- some portions of the organism go without sufficient nutriment to repair waste in order to avoid excess of other kinds of nutriment tlint go to nourish other parts of the organism. A due balance must be preserved to avoid waste and promote the most healthful conditions of the animal, ;Hence it .is all wrong to begin in the fall to feed all cornstalks, straw and other carbon­ aceous foods for the purpose of having all clover and other nitrogenous foods to feed in the winter. For in this case both kinds of food arc not only oat of season, but should be mixed so as ’to give the most carbonaceous elements in the coldest weather, and the. greater proportion of nitrogenous, elements in theiwarmer weather—just the, reverse ^ of what is common practice.—Colman’s Rural World. FOR CLEARING LAND. A Device Facilitating: th e Moving df Elartli and Rubbish. I have invented an attachment to my stone-boat by which the team is com­ pelled to do the loading .of heavy stumps, rocks, etc., which facilitates the moving of large quantities of rub­ bish, the leveling of knolls and filling of cradle holes. As will he seen in the engraving, the right-hand rail is re­ moved from the' common stone-boat and tho boat-plank is attached to the boat by a heavy hinge. This extra plank is drawn by a chain attached to the team the same ns tho main boat. We will suppose - a heavy rock lias been pried out of the soil or earth. The chain of tlie wing is loosened and at­ tached further hack on the main chain, tVliile the block at A is inserted tc separate the wing from the boat, Tho boat is then driven beside the rock, and as the team proceeds it will fre­ quently take its place on the boat without effort on the part of the driver, the wing tending to force it in place.. ■If, because of its shape this is not readily done, a very little prying while the team is In motion will act it where it is desired. Meadow lahd which is to be leveled must first be plowed, when the attachment will qnickly take tip the load if the boat he weighted.' If there Is very much' of this scraper work to do, the edge of ‘the wing should be shod with a strip of steel, like an old cart tire or .piece of Saw blade. The outside rail of the wing also should be higher than for atone. The hinge should not -be too loose, i t should keep the Wing on tho ground by the weight of the l>oat—A. C. West, in Farm and Home.
