POInto scab.

DR.. Thaxter of the Storrs school expert
ment station feels confident that he has dis
covered the true cause of the disease of the
potato known as "scab." He finds it due
to a fungus and has been able to separate
and cultivate the fungus in a fortified gela-
tine, as in bacteria culture. and then to
propagate the disease on growing potatoes
Potatoes for the experiment were planted
in the greenhouse and when the young
tubers were forming earth was carefully
removed from over the potatoes, and after
washing the skin clean the surface was
touched with needle dipped in the culture
fluid. The potato was then covered with
glass through which subsequent changes in
the appearance Of the tuber could be observ-
ed. In one case letters were traced with the
needle, and after few days the letters
stood out plainly, proving, as it would seem,
that the true germ of the scab disease has
been discovered
1t was, however, too late in the season
for experimenting with methods for pre-
venting or Graduating the disease That
will be work for future experiment.

RnInuced Ration..

\ farmer and stock owner, dependent on
his farm aud stock for an income, was re-
Gently heard to say that he was tired of
hearing so much about balanced rations in
stock feeding 1t is a serious trouble with
many farmers that they are tired of study
ing their business, tired of listening to the
instructions of others, tired of reading.

working But it is easily noticed that these
tired farmers are not the most brilliant ex

farmer who is bound to win and who is ever
on the alert to catch on to the better prac-
tice and to learn the better methods through
which alone better results are realized,

Balanced rations is a comparatively new
term used in connection with stock feeding.
But it is an important one and cannot be

the wants of the animal fed and without
waste of food on the one hand or waste of
energy and of effort on the other. 1t is
this kind of "a ration that has given the

from the application of this knowledge to

is fully adapted to bring the best possible
