The question of the potato rot has
broken out afresh this fall, and the
claims OF many that in season like
the one just past stable manure will
induce rot in potatoes seem to be fairly
proven. But do not consider manure
the only cause for the rot, although it
presents conditions favorable for its
development, says Practical Farmer
writer. A liberal application of ma
nure, followed by very wet season,
inclines the vines or tubers to an I'M
natural rapid growth, and whenever
this condition occurs the rot is liable
20 set in. There is something lacking
in the potato; the starch does not form
as fast as the potato grows. The
effect of the disease upon the potato is
to destroy the starch cells, and cause
decomposition of the albumen and
heterogeneous elements, thus giving rise
TO the intolerable odor of the decayed
vines and tubers. The disease is the
most disastrous upon low, wet, DOGGY
and undrained soil, where during a
rainy season 80 per cent of the crop is
often affected by the rot. The rot is
fungus, known as Peronospora infes-
tana, which grows within the plant,
filling the cells with white threads,
called mycelium.

Cows For All Pnrnnaes.

We never took much stock in the
cry for COW that shall be equally
good for I'LL purposes. That means a
dull medicocrity, without particular
excellence in anything. The Devon
breed perhaps fulfls this condition
as we'll as any other, and the fact that
it has never become very popular any
where is proof OF our position. The
competition in farming is now so close
that only the very best breeds for
particular purposes can be afforded.
The farmer is driven to spaci aIties as
the condition of success.

Feeding For BACON.

There is something else to be aimed
for in breeding and feeding hogs be-
sides the amount of lard they will
make. The best market at present is
reserved for good bacon hogs. Buy
ers understand that hog fed nothin g
but corn. while he may be heavy, is
coarse, soft and spongy. A hardy con-
stitution is what the successful breeder
should try to att lin. Pick out the best
breeding stock, neat, plump and we'll
boned, but avoid the coarse, lubberly
stock. Vary the food from corn to the
more heterogeneous foods, as rye, oats,
bran, short. middlings, oil meal, grass
and clover, with an ample supply Of
good ashes, which is one of the best
bone builders and worm destroyers.
We should make distinction between
feeding and fattening. Corn furnishes
very little Misunderstanding flesh pro-
ducing food: it is made up so largely
of carbonaceous material that fat is al
most its only product. After the pigs
are we'll grown, and have good, strong
frames and constitutions, they my be
fed on corn with profit But even then
care should be taken or overlooking in
one direction will injure their health.
Hog cholera is often a proof of bad
feeding, and always takes the most
hold on constitutions weakened by con-
slant corn diet
