A Holstein heller was exhibited at
the Bangor (Me.) Fair that yielded
about fifteen quarts OF milk daily.
Considering that she was only years
old the yield was extraordinary.
Hubbard squashes are the best winter
keepers and should be stored away be-
fore frost. The squash can be had all
winter if carefully stored.
Bran is considered one Of the best
foods for all classes Of stock, and it is
rich in phosphates. It is a very i'm
perfect food, however, when fed in
place Of grain entirely, but when given
in connection with hay and ground
grain it largely adds to the value OF
the whole.
The hog will thrive better If kept
clean and given plenty Of water. Slop-
food does not afford a sufficient supply
OF water. Milk will not answer as wa
ter. The water trough should be kept
filed with clean water at all times.
In regard to cutting off the seed ends

J. NJ. Smith says Last spring saved
bushel of the seed ends and planted
them by themselves right in the mid
die OF the piece Of two or three acres
that | was planting and found, wher
we came to dig them, that the YIELD
was just about the same and tho pota-
toes about the same size. But those
coming from the seed ends were nearly
a week earlier than the others.
Twenty pounds Of hay and twelve
quarts Of oats given daily is the esti-

but this must be regulated by the size
OF the animal, the labor performed anC

The Potato Rot.

The question of the potato rot has
broken out afresh this fall and the
claims of many that in a 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
to 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 aIbumen and
heterogeneous elements, thus giving rise
to the intolerable odor of the decayed
vines and tubers. The disease is the
most disastrous upon low, vet, DOGGY
AID undrained soil, where during q
rainy season 80 per cent OF the crop is
often affected by the rot. The rot is a
fungus, known as Peronospora infes
tana, which grows within the plant
filing the cells with white threads,
called mycelium.
