Harvesting the Potato Crop.

Formerly no farmer thought of harvest
ing his potatoes until quite cool weather
in the autumn, but now it is the practice
of large numbers OF farmers TO harvest
this crop as soon as possible after the po-
tatoes have stopped growing. believing
that to leave them in the ground Injuries
them; and it is the opinion of some that
if potatoes are dug as soon as they begin
to rot, 1t will stop the disease from spread
ing: but experiments do not confirm this
opinion; it is true, by digging the pota-
toes that are affected by disease. the wet
rot NAV be in measure prevented; but
the disease is IN the potato, and it will
show itself in dry-ror to an extent that
renders the potato unfit to eat. As rule,
we have found when the rot has struck q
field of potatoes it ia best to let them re-
main in the ground until cold weather.
then those that are unaffected by disease
will remain so this saves the handling of
rotten potatoes, which. to say the least, is
verv unpleasant business.
When potatoes are full grown and show
no indications Of disease, they had better
be harvested and Immediately stored in a
cool. dark place. The practice of spread
ing potatoes in the sun is very poor one !;
it is unnatural. and tends to injure the
quality, both for seed and for eating. A
potato, to keep we'll. should be stored
where it is trihe moist, with tempera-
ture not above 500, and where but little
light penetrates. 1t requires but few
days to turn potato green color. when
placed in tae light, and dry atmosphere
soon dries it up so it is unfit to eat.
Potatoes on low land should be harvest
ed Immediately after full grown, lest a
heavy rain come and overflow them. but
on high. light soil they will keep in the
ground until cool weather quite as we'll as
in the cellar. Many believe that if pota-
toes be stored in the cellar when damp
there is danger of losing them by rot. but
from many experiments, it has been found
when potatoes are dug and at once stored
in the cellar without exposing them to
the light. they are made better in the
spring than those left one day spread in
the field to dry in the sunshine.-Massd-
chusets Pioughnan.

Can Bees Commit Tre.pass ?

Mr. S. j. Freedom of ithaca, Wiscon-
SIM has been made defendant in a novel
suit. He keeps lot of bees at some dis
lance from his house, and about a mile
from pasture mostly covered with white
clover and occupied by about hundred
blooded sheep. The owner of the pasture
and sheep brings suit to recover $500
damages done by the lees. which, he de-
clares, come in countless hordes. modest
the sheep, and drive them from their feed
ing places. He also affirms that last sea.
son his sheep became thin in consequence
of the ANNOYANCE of the bees and that
many of them died during last winter.
The bringing of this case has created con-
siderable excitement among bee-keepers
in Wisconsin. and the proposition has
been made that they contribute money to
help pay the expenses of defending the
suit. 1t is understood that this is to be a
test case. If the plaintiff succeeds in
gaining it, other bee-keepers will be like
~ to be sued to recover damages done to
pastures. vineyards and gardens by bees.
1t is possible that the little busy bee"
may become the cause of many vexatious
law suits. If damages are awarded in
this case. any man owning few square
rods OF land devoted to almost any pur-
pose, may try to recover damages from
all the owners of bees in the vicinity.
Nearly all naturalists from Aristotle to
Darwin, have given their testimony in ia
vor OF the good work accomplished by
bees in fertilizing flowers and making it
possible to produce large crops of clover
seed Recently bees have been intro
duced rto various parts # Australia by
the owners of extensive sheep runs, for
the express purpose of increasing the pro-
duction of clover in the pastures. Many
fruit raisers in this country ard Europe
have found It to their advantage to keep
bees, not for the honey and wax they
gather. but for the benefit they produce
in fertiizing flowers. Bees have been
accused of puncturing grapes, and now
they are charged with worrying flock of
sheep. Chicago Times
