ed. Fresh Stacked lime is excellent to put on
potatoes after they are dug up, " hen they are
diseased.
But the best aka for potatoes is potash, as
contained in wood ashes. The tubers seem to
prefer this alkali to lime, while the tops in a
great meas urc prefer lime 10 potash. These
ashes may be scattered over the potato field about
the time the young tubers are beginning TO form
and every few mornings, when the tops show
signs of the disease. have seen with unboun-
dcd pleasure, the highly uscfnl effects of this
valuable lcrtiiser. Much reliance should be
placed on the fall application. because much of
the alkaline principle is apt TO be washed away,
either down deep in the ground, below the reach
OF the ROOTS or to another part of the held,whlc
it should remain near the plant.
Ashes will abundanty repay considerable cost
iii procuring and applying them. and no potato
grower should think Of dispensing with their
use. Dr.. Lee. Of New York. who was cmplnyed
ayear or two since by the New York State Ag-
ricultrrc Society to 20 t. sch county in the
State and deliver lectures on agriculture and its
kindred sciences. wrote several letters during

OF these letters written from Smithvlle. Che
mango county, New York, under date of July Is,
1915, he says" sugar maple, a grape vine,
an apple tree, and a potato plant, need soil
that abounds in potash. Take from your field
200 bushels of potatoes this fall, and you will
remove from ii siXty-thrcc pounds of this min

You may now count the cost of the ashes

Lime for Potatoes Having noticed the action
OF Lime on Potatoes, DEAN i proper to make
Tow remarks upon the subject. have noticed
that in many instances, the disease Is worse
where lime mas been used, than where nothing
had been applied; and will account for it in
such a manner rs to SHOW YOU whv this is So
Lime is much use by the potato, when it can
get Il, for the formation 0. the tops. Where
much lime is applied on potatoes they have very
large tops. These large tops oreu so many more
mouths to sGcl; in carhonc acid, which, if the
tops were small, would not be the case, This
extra quantity Of carbonic acid, so absorbed by
the large tops, insures the disease, when, per-
haps the small tops, with their smaller means Of
absorption, would not be able to take in enough
to kill the plant and disease the root. | have
seen this during the past season. A potato
grower in this neighborhood placed a small guam
tity of old lme-or carbonate OF lime--on his
potatoes at the time of planting: this carbonate
Of lime was Just sufficient TO enable the plant
TO dcvelopa the tops finely The large tops alb
sorbsd large quantities of carhonic acid and
death and decay followed ia both top and root,
Another potato grower pat nothing upon his
patch; as a consequence, the tops were small,
and moi taking in much carbunic acid, they
stood until quite late when they too, were Kill
ed, but the roots were saved.
1t Is difficult to apply lime to the potato with
the certainty Of its proving cilectual in prevent
ing inc rot because in the first place, the tops
use much, If not al Of it, for increasing the size
OF the tops, thus exposing the plant the more to
the disease, instead OF protecting il from that
evil; and m the second place, if there be more
lime used than the plant can appropriate to the
tops, the remainder becomes hiGhlv chorrod
with carbonic acid early in the season and holds
il with such tenacity that the plant cannot get
the alkaline principle without gettinp the acid

The best way know of to apply lime to no.

showing that, by the union of salt aud SCOT, a
most valuable manure is produced 1t has been
found that land which usually produced twenty
five tons of carrots to AN acre, when fortified
by mixture of six bushels and halt of SCOT,
welded forty. This manure is also said to be
very good for grain and especially SO for potato

one hundred and ilty-seyen bushels to the acre,
