If possible, make sura that the potatoes being used for seed were not produced on a field that has been infected with blight. The blight winters in the tubers, and sends its eads up through the stalks re. they flower on the surface of leaves of the plant...

Dissolve a tablet in a quart of water, or an ounce in 80 quarts of water, and soak the potatoes for two hours. This material is very poisonous and must;be handled with great care.

D, E.:--Is fertilizer that has been stored up in a dry shed for two years as good as fresh fertil- izer? \ " ; Answer:--If the fertilizer has been stored in a dry place, it will not have lost plantfood through storage. How- ever, before you use it, you should empty it out on a hard floor and 2 it up by pounding, after which it should. be, shoyeled* through a sand screen."

Does it seem natural to instinctively crave to express one's every sense of feeling in speech? The claims of music for greater educational recognition are so not given more prominence and taught more thoroughly in our public schools, What magnificent opportunities enhance their musical education, as compared with the hard striving times of the old masters, who had to content themselves with such limited instru- ments as the old harpsichord. Can you imagine how manifestly grateful Bach, Handel and other old masters would have been had they at their dis- posal such high grade pianos, as manufactured to-day, capable of re- sponding to every emotion? It is dif- ficult to conceive how it was possible for these old masters to give to the world such beautiful and immortal works, handicapped, we might say, with such inferior instruments. Were they in. possession of such perfected instrumepts as we have to-day, who could conjecture what undiscovered form of music might have been handed down to us. . how potential would be the influence to-day if the wonderful mechanical musical instruments, with their ap- pliances, we now have, existed two hundred and fifty years ago, thus en- and. other illustrious old masters to relegate to posterity faithful repro- ductions of their pérformances by cooing music of the cradled babe long manifold that one wonders that. it is of musical history when reviewing | epochs and 'events, giving biographical | INTERNATIONAL LESSON MAY 27. i sketches of composers and classifying {the different schools and forms of | music, will find the player piano and phonograph, or either one, invaluable i by 'demonstrating the record suitable for the occasion.
