Precautions Against the Potato Rot.

The State Agricultural Experiment
Station of Maine gives the following di-
reetlors for guarding against the spread
OF the fungus which causes the potato
rot, and which lives over winter in the
spores contained in the stems. leaves,
and tubers: /. Burn the tops and
leaves In the fall. after the crop is
gathered, TO destroy the spores contained
IN them. ?. Gather all the small DO
tatoes, for II allowed TO decay in the
heId the spores IL them Will start the
disease the following summer. 3. Sc
.ect seed for planting, if possible. from
helds OF localities exempt from the d.
sease the previous season. 4. Rotate
the potato crop, as the winter spores
terminate the following spring, and
nndIng no food plants must perish.
.. Burn all the decayed potatoes taken
from the cellar or bins, and other potato
refuse; do not throw them on the COM
post heap, as the spores retain their
vitality and are spread far and wfne with
the manure. .. The winter spores do
net terminate very early IN the spring.
The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1889-12-21

The planting of early varieties, that ma
ture before the parasite can get a staIt,
has been recommended. Z. If cut seed
is used, the surface should be allowed
to dry; for when placed in the ground
the winter spores would find ready en-
trance through the freshly cut surface.

Flowing the Soil.

The common supposition, even among
those most familiar with blowing,
is that this necessary farm operation IS
performed solely for the purpose of
making the soil looser. The plow GER
tainly does to some extent break up the
clods, but generally it leaves them too
loose. and the farmer must cultivate or
drag the surface to recOmpact it and
make a good seed bed. Sod ground must
necessarily be plowed so as to turn I'M
der the grass, but it is equally import
ant after p]0wingto harrow the surface,
or the roots will send up new shoots
and quickly become a meadow. For
some kinds of crops following a naked
stubble, no deep blowing is needed.
We have known good winter wheat
grown by a cultivation that did not even
turn under the stubble, but only har-
rowed the surface enough to have 1t
comparatively level. The wheat roots
in such cases spread out horizontally
near the surface, because the untis-
turbed soil beneath is not prepared to
receive them. Frosts mellow the an
dersoil, and when spring comes the
roots strike down, the plant spreads and
makes a good crop. With deeper fall
tillage, most of the wheat would be
winter killed.-AmericGH CHItjUGtOT.

Treating Clay Lands.

Clayey soils, if they can be brought
into the proper mechanical condition,
are very valuable farm lands, and usu-
ally the first step is to thoroughly IN
derdrain, to constantly take off any sur
plus of moisture. The next step is to
let the air and frost do its work IN dis
integrating the soil. BY blowing as late
in the fall as the season viii admit, and
leaving the piece just as left by the
pillow, without narrowing, the entire
winter, exposed to the alternate freez-
ing and thawing, will effect a great
change in its condition. In the spring
it is merely narrowed and Well broken
up with a sharp cultiyator and then
cropped, usually in corn. The same pro-
cess of late plowIng and permitting the
frost to do its work of disinte grafton is
gone through for two or three addi-
tlOnal seasons, when the piece will lie
found to be vastly improved both me
chanically and IN its ability to produce
fine crops. Some recommend the top
dressing with sand, but while this has
some good effect, where the tract Is
large and the amount OF hard work
necess airy to apply sufficient sand to
make any decidedly favorable impress
sion makes 1t very expensive, ana on
that account undesirable, for the teams
can usually be put to work that is more
profitable. Nature Will do the work best
if she is only given a chance to do so,
and the methods suggested above, and
which we have repeatedly tried with uni
form results,are applicable wheneverthe
winter is severe enough to freeze the
ground thoroughly. by throwing it mp
as loosely as possible with the
pillow, more surface 10 exposed to the
action of the air and frost than if per-
mitted to lie fat and solid, when it is
almost inpervious to the action of the
elements as is we'll baked brick, even
water being etfectualiy kept out.-Aass
