Potato Disease.

10 THE EDITOR OF THE FARMER You and
your readers must be heartily tired of seeing the
above caption Among the hundred certain rem
edles which have been prescribed, l believe all
have proved failures. will state facts, and leave
all to draw conclusions.
1t was first noticed here generally in 1915. In
other portions Of the state it had before been Sc
we're. That year it attacked them after fully
grown and ripe. Had it been understood, most
of the crop might have been saved while, without
any knowledge, nearly all were lost All sorts of
experiments, as mixing lime, &C., with them, were
tried without success. The spring following
carried from my cellar more than one hundred
bushels, and spread them on less than ten square
rods of ground-one mile from, and two hundred
and fifty feet above the Lake, (precsely the same
soil as they grew in) They were Spdded in, and
having some parts not wholly decayed, they grew ;
were thinned and cultivated, producing some 20
bushels were dug late in the fall put on the bot
tom Of warm, damp cellar, with others above
them; taken out in the May following perfectly
sound.
Does any one want stronger proof that the dis
ease is not in the potatoe nor the soil?
Another season l had given especial directions
TO my farmer to keep close watch of his potatoes,
and should they be struck with blight to pill the
whole at once, leaving them in the hill as they
grew. / was absent some weeks and instead of
watching the tops, he daily pulled few hills in
/ the wetest part of the field for week, and find
ing all sound, neglected it. He soon after found
they were rotting badly.
The hills pulled (about 1907 scattered through
the lower part of the field, were found perfectly
sound and the others near them entirely worthless.
Some three or four years since, noticed the
disease had just appeared when potatoes were
ripe, but tops perfectly green. Knowing a widow
lady who had planted an acre and had a large
crop, (more than three hundred bushes,) imme-
diately called on her, and found the whole struck
with blight where, one day previous, to my GER
tain knowledge, there was no symptom of it. 1
told her to have the whole pulled Immediately,
dug during the following week, spread in dry pla-
ces, and the whole saved in good order One row
left for an experiment to satisfy her father Gan old
gentleman Of more than seventy years,) accident
ally present, in ten days were entirely rotten in
| the hills.
| A favore theory has been that the potatoe has
run ont, and that we must produce new ones from
seed. Facts have shown that the ne,0 sorts have
been most liable to rot. Have moi experiments
and facts fully demonstrated that the disease is at
mospherc, and that no precautions can produce
any effect further than they change atmospheric
influence? Also, that after the potato is grown
and ripe before struck with disease, if they are
promptly attended to by pulling or cutting the
tops on its first appearance, the entire crop may
be saved, when few days delay may cause to-
tai loss. {. GOODRICH

New MODE OF PRESERVING EGGs.-It has
been long known to housewives that the great Sc
cret of preserving eggs fresh is to place the small
end downwards, and keep it in that position other
requisites not being neglected, such as to have the
eggs perfectly fresh when deposited for keeping,
not allowing them to become wet, and keeping
them cool in warm weather, and avoiding freezing
in winter.
We have observed late notice of method for
securing these requisites, in more easy and con-
venient manner than by any we had previously
known. Take an inch board of convenient size,
say foot wide, and two and half feet long, and
bore it full of holes each about an inch and half
in diameter; board of this size may have FIVE
dozen holes bored in it, for as many eggs. Then
nail strips of thin board two inches wide, TO serve
as a ledge. Boards such as this may now be
made TO constitute the shelves of a cupboard in a
cool cellar. The only preeaution necessary is to
place the eggs as fast as they are laid, in these
holes, with the small end downwards, and they
will keep for months perfectly fresh. The great
advantage of this plan is the perfect ease with
which the fresh eggs are packed away and obtain
ed-again when wanted,- Country Gentleman.
