All diseased refuse from an afl'ected field should be burned. It is also advisable to avoid .using for seed purposes poratoes from a diseased crop. even though the tubers appear healthy.

General Manager, Como Block, Chicago. 1969-8 These results should convince porato growers of the importance of Spraying their potatoes for the pre- vention of blight and rot. The work must be thoroughly done. Spraying should be begun by the middle of July and the vines kept covered with the mixture until the close of the season. The late blight is the one which jcauses by far the greater loss, both 5 by lessening the crop and by causing . rot. According to Mr. W. T. Macoun l Horticulturist of the Central Experi- [mental Farm. this disease passes the winter in the tubers. and in the . spring when the vines begin to grow {it starts to deveIOp, growing up I through the tissues of the potato g stem. During the latter part of July E it produces on the undersides of the leaves myriads of tiny spores. which in the mass have a frost-like appear- . ance. These spores make the rust ,stage. which is caused by the leaf ftissues drying up where the spores ' have been feeding on them and cans {ing dark brown spats, It is from this . stage that future infection takes ‘ place. as the Spores are carried rapid- ly by the wind and alight on the foli- : age. They are also washed below the Tsurface of the ground and reach the ‘young tubers, and in time cause the rot. The potato rot itself is a dry lrot; the wet rot comes through the decay of the tubers. It is when the 1 tubers begin to form that the blight l begins to appear. This is just when 7 the potato has passed the most Vigor- §ous stage. the stage when in a wild 3 state it would be blossoming and pro- ?ducing seed. At this stage the con . stitution of the plant is weakened, 5 which probably makes it more subject * to disease at this time. In the pro- 3vince of Ontario potato vines usually ;' dry up during the latter part of Au. j gust. Why should they die so soon . when they do not produce seed? If f the season is lairly favorable even . the earliest varieties may be kept 1growing right on into September by thorough cultivation and Spraying. The important point is to get them past the period when they are in a weakened condition, without injury from fungous diseases or insects. Expermiments conducted at the Vermont Experiment Station proved that over half the crop of marketable potatoes was produce after August 22nd. In Ontario the potato vines are usually dead after that date. The great gain is keeping potatoes grow- ing until late in September is here very apparent. Very marked result? in Spraying with Bordeaux mixture for blight have been obtained by the Fermont Station, the Irish Depart- ment of Agriculture-o. and the Domin- ion and Provincial Experimental Farms. In lfml eXperiments by Mr. Macoun wi'h eight varieties showed an average difl'e'ence in favor of spraying of 10S) bushels ofimarketable potatoes and in 1902 with eleven varieties the average difl'erence was 1:20 bushels per acre.. With the Em pure state Variety there was a difler- ence 0 [65 bushels per acre. In 1902 the vines were sprayed four times. on Jul) lUth Julv' .. 22.nd July 30th and -\Ugliat 15 h the formula used being li puuud‘ hiuPStOHH. 4 ”)8. lime 40 gallons water.

Even at $10 per acre the result of the above experiment for 1902 would show a profit of $38. per acre, po- tatoes selling at 40 cents a bushel. There are two known blights which aflect the potato in America, the early blight, Alternaria Solani, and the late blight which causes the rot, Phytophthera infestans. The early blight causes the spotting of the leaves early in July. These Spots increase in size, unite and form large masses of diseased tissue This blight does not attack the tubers and is not nearly as injurious as the other. If the leeves are punctured by beetles or from some other cause the disease gets a foothold easier. Reports from manv districts indi- cate that potato blight and rot are again this season causing serious loss to the farmers of Canada. This dis- eise has been quite prevalestin many parts of Ontaris and Quebec, and al- thoughagood preventive is known in Bordeaux mixture few growers seemed to have Sprayed their po- tatoes Mr. L, H. Newman of the Seed Division. who visited nearly every country in Ontario during the summer, confirms this statement and reports that in many cases he found growers sadly wanting in knowledge of the disease and methods of pre- venting it.

So it is, but there is a cause away back of the stomach that must be reached before the stomach can be made to do its work. The cause is nerve distur- bance or nerve debility. First get the nerves in shape and then the stomach will be right also. Ferroo zone has accomplished this for thou- sands of people whose digestion was completely gone.

Up to a very short time ago he has had a lonely life. and thankslt‘o the year 1904- . which has proved his salvationâ€"a ' young ladv has proposed to him, and , he is now enjoying her society as his wife. The following is the manner _ in which it was brought about. The young man possessed many excellent qualities. but a proper sense of cong fidence in himself was not one of} these. for he was very bashful. quite abnormally so. He would strike across a concession if he saw a young lady approaching, and if it was too lateâ€"if meeting her was inevitableâ€" he would blush seven colors. His embarassment was really painful to behold. Moreover. he imagined he was a fright to look at, and that no girl would condescend to look with favor on him. Foolish fellow ! If these bashful boys but knew! It was the young man’s conviction that he was destained to live his life in single blessedness, that his days were to be passed far from the sound of the wringer, the splash of the soap suds, the delights of being bossed and other cheerful attributes of home. But it was not to be. A certain younglady . a very nice young girl.â€"too had noticed that he would look seven ways for Sunday when there was a girl in sight, and this originality in a man interested her. It did more, and before long Master Daniel Cupid, Esq., appeared upon the scene. She determined to break the ice (bless her heart) now that the good year of 1904 is in. So one fine morning she ap- proached him suddenly, and calling him by name, asked him why he did not get married. He replied with characteristic modesty that he didn’t think there was anyone who would have him. This was glorious! Easy! 1 I r 1 andv$6. 00. OTS 30, CON. 10, BENTINOKâ€" J. lEVlNE Farm to Rent.

The one unhappy circumstance con- nected with the erection of this House of Refuge is the fact as we are in- formed that the contractor has su- stained a heavy financial loss. We recommend that the county council do not allow the contractor who has done his work in such-a thorough and satisfactory manner to be a loser through his faithfulness in the per- formance of his contract. The county is to be congratulated upon having now a comfortable well ebuipped and unto-date home for those aged citizens who through poverty. infirmity or misfortune have no home of their own. Although lhe house has been open onlv a few months. there are now 23 inmates viz: 19 males and 4 females. all apparently happy contented and well pleased with their surroundings and care. We do not think however that the matron can continue to discharge the heavy duties developing upon her. In our opinion the county council should supply further help for the house work. We regret to be unable to repoi‘t favorably upon the barn. It is not in keeping with the rest. of the Institu- tion, and does not appear to be suit- ably designed or constructed for the purposesincended. All of which is respectfullv sub- mitted. One half of the Grand Jury. â€"Owen Sound Advertiser. This institution we found to be an admirable one. The house itself is well built, commodious and thorough ly fitted with everything necessary for the comfort and convenience of those who have to occupy it. We recommend hoWever that the county council purchase a quantity of hose for fire protection. The County House of Refuge was opened this year at Markdale for the reception of the poor and feeble of the county. and the jury felt it their duty to inspect this new public in- stitution, although to do so the members were obliged to pay their travelling expenses out of their own pockets. We feel that this is not right and therefore recommend that the county council provide for the travelling expenses of the Grand Jury for the inspection of this county undertaking at but twice a year. l The General and Marine Hospital was visited and found to be in excel- ent condition. It is gratifying to see the splendid work being done here by Miss Duncan, the lady superintendant and her staff of nurses. in the alle- viation of human sickness and suffer- ing The hospital we found crowded with patients and an enlargment of premises is a necessity. This institu- tion is deserving of a larger measure of financial aid from the county than it at present receives and in ourjudg- ment the county council by increas- ing its annual grant to this work would be doing a great public benefit. One generous hearted lady of Owen Sound, the widow of the late Dr. Horsey, has equipped the operating room with a complete set of up-to- date surgical instruments. We trust her worthy example may be emulated by other citizens in supplying much needed things for the hospital. The County Goal, under the sup- ervision of Governor Miller, we found to be well kept, clean and healthy. There are at present confined therein 14 prisoners viz. 1:2 males 2 females. of these 4are confined as insane. It is satisfactory to know that this in- stitution is no longer being now used for the confinment of those whose only crime is old age poverty or phy- sical infirmity. In accordance with your instruc- tions we have visited several of the public institutions of the County and are pleased to be able to report all of them in good condition.
