An Electric Gardener.

The use of the electric light in plant

it. Funny Folks, a humorous sheet, gives
some extracts from an imaginary diary of

FERTILIZER FOE PoTAToEs.-The use OF
barnyard manure, either fresh or rotted, is
not advisable for potatoes. because of its
effects In encouraging the presence OF
worms and grubs, which are bred from
eggs of insects (fies, beetles, and moths
lald in the manure, and wire worms (which
are not insects) as well. These cause the
so-called scabs in the potatoes, which is
really the destruction OF the skin of the
tubers by these pests. When artificial
manures are used these pests do not abound.

the fertilizers and the acids contained in
them. The special potato fertilizers are
now extensively used, and produce not
only an abundant yield. but tubers of the
best quality and very smooth appearance.

usual quantity, costing from $3.50 to
