). l.. Adams, who is well known in
Durham, has been rusticating at Hills
boro. 1t is well known that Mr.. Adams
was at one time lean man. He has taken
trips to the seashOre and to the noun
tains in order to gain in flesh, but has
always returned as he left-a lean man
Some of his friends suggested to him
to try the atmosphere around HillsbOro,
as there had been nothing done in that
ancient city to stir up malaria
He was loath to yield to their soicita-
tions, but finally concluded to go.
He has returned a new man altogether,
and finds but one complaint to make of
his friends. He thought they ought to
have waited until later in the season.
This hot weather makes it very bur-
densome to Mr. Adams to cary so much
flesh.
He is now looking for an antdote to
reduce his flesh.

EDITOR SITTER IL am interested,
heart and soul, in the matter of adj

it's predecessors, strongly pressed to

issue, let men be picked out right in
heart and strong in arm to accomplish
this. We want the schools of Yer

100000,

The SITTER begs to call the atten-
ton of town clerks, upon whom will
devolve the procuring Of official ballots
for town representatives and justices Of
the peace, to the facilities IF the SITTER
office to do their work. We shall be
prepared to turn out, in the time al
lowed by law, 100000 official ballots
put up, as the law directs in blocks of
100.
We will also procure, without cost
for our services, the necessary fac smile
signature of town clerks. And,
permit us to say, this is matter that
should be attended to at once, as it will
be necessary to have the work done in
Boston. Write your signature upon a
clean piece of paper, with no other
writing upon it, and do not write town
clerk after it, as that can be printed,
and send to us. Remember this must
be done in season to procure the en-
graved plate before the ballots are
printed. The probable cost of the
plate will be one dollar. 1t would
facilitate the work and accommodate us
if town clerks who feel disposed to give
the workto the SITTER would notify
us of the fact as soon as possible. We
guarantee to do the work as cheap as it
can be done, anywhere, and in good
shape.

The Potato Blight-How to prevent It.
State Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton,
Burlington, VT, August 1, 1892.
Dear Sir-I wish through the col
umns of your paper to address few
words to those of your readers who
are potato growers. No true blight
has been seen as yet, but judging
from experience Of past years, it may
be expected at any time now. In
1889 potatoes blighted badly the last
week of July. In 1890 and again IN
1891 the weather did not favor the
rapid spread of the disease until the
MIDDLE of August and later. 1t is
simply question of favorably moist,
hot weather as to when the disease
appears this year. Spraying the vines
with Bordeaux mixture will surely
keep off the disease if done thorough
ly and in season. We found last
summer that thorough application
made at the time of the first appear
ance of the disease checked it's fur
Their development. But upon ground
especially liable to the disease the
safer way by far is to spray at once,
now, even though no signs of the dis
ease are seen.
The mixture for this first applica-
ton can be made rather weak, 5 lbs.
blue vitriol and 5 lbs. of freshly slack
ed lime to so gals. Gone barely of
water. Dissolve the vitriol in clean
wooden tub or barrel, keeping out all
dirt. Slack the lime in another ves-
sci, then, after adding water enough
to make thin whitewash, strain this
into the vitriol solution, so as not to
add any Jumps of lime stir thorough
ly and it is ready to use. Add Paris
Green for the bugs if needed.
This application will protect the
vines for ten days or two weeks of
ordinary weather, and l would not adj
wise second application until some
signs of the disease are seen. If,
however, the blight begins to show
by the middle of August or later, do
not delay but make a second applica-
ton at once using the same strength
mixture freely or if the disease is
spreading badly use u lbs. of blue
vitriol and s lbs. lime to barrel of
water. A third application of the
weaker form of the mixture may be
needed on late potatoes in September
depending, of course upon conditions
of the plants and the prevalence of
the disease.
For further information send to the
Experiment Station for Bulletins con-
corning Potato Blight and Rot. All
Bulletins are free and all letters of in
curry will be welcomed and will re-
ceive immediate answer.
If there is any uncertainty as to
whether or not your vines are blight
ing send specimens of deceased leaves
or plants for examination.
