Deterioration OF Varieties.

There is. or used TO be, a common
idea among farmers that varieties Of
grain, vegetables and fruits run out"
until they finally become not worth
growing. Some have said hat this in
dictated a general law unler which u
variety had q certain nnriod If growth,
OF maturity and IF decay, much Ike a
human life. This was nonsense. Nari-
cites only deteriorate I'm localities or
under circumstances which do not give
them chance for full development Of
their best points. The deterioration is
quite rapid in places u suit d 10 their
growth. Where conditions are favura-
bic. with good care In selecting seed
each Year the variety will continue for
ever. We knew Il year or two g a
farmer who had kept the Early RISE
potato, growing 1t each year. and it
was as productive as this variety was
when first introduc d. The potato
crop has Of Late years been a difficult
one to keep old varieties I'M TO their
first standard Of quality and produc-
tiveneSs. Every injury to the leaves
from potato bug or blight damages
the quality Of the tubers, and this in
turn makes the seed potato less valu-
able. After a very few years OF injury
from potato bugs the variety soon
loses its productiveness and is said to
have run out"

Potato Bugs Love Sunshine.

The potato beetle and larva have
made their appearance in England.
The London Agricultural Gazette
prints complaints Of farmers that they
cannot effectively spray with poisons
to destroy the slugs, because the spray.
ing only reaches the upper surface Of
the leaf, while the slug Is a great part
Of the time under the leaf out Of reach
of any application. This may be the
fact in English climates. where on
many summer days the under side Of
the leaf Is often the dryest and most
comfortable place the bug can find.
In our American climate the bug finds
plenty of sunshine and when feeding
Is always in 1t. If the larva retires to
the underside of the leaf at night Ii
does not then need TO eat anything be-
fore morning sunshine tempts him to
the surface again. In England, being
so much on the under side Of the leaf,
necessity may force the larva to the
habit of eating there. But in q eli
mate thus damp and cool the potato
will not rapidly increase If his insect
enemies are encouraged, or at least not
destroyed by poisons.

The belief that unsOund teeth belong

Howard Num- 'ry informs us that IA
very different conclusion was reached
by his father more than twenty sc rs

more than a decade. Over two thou

all the available collections in Great

carious teeth; among seventy-siX An
~glo-SaXon skulls. twelve; among 146
skulls of Romano ritons, forty-onc.
and among fOrty-four miscellaneous
skulls of ancient Britons, nine. Sever

done. they win rot. So soon as any
rain falls 1t will carry down the spores
that induce rot, and these will speedily
affect the tubers. 1t is important.
therefore. to get the potatoes out as
quickly as possible, taking extra care
not to allow any Of them TO come In
contact with the vines which have
been blighted not to be bruised by
rough handling. The potatoes should
not be put in a large heap, and, most
important of all, should not be covered
so as to exclude air. They are imma.
ture, because blightiug the leaves pre-
vents ripening. The object should be
TO dry them out quickly. but without
exposure TO the sun for any long
time. Place them in a cool place,
where a current Gf mir win pass over
them, and sprinkle dry lime on them.
This will absorb moisture. When the
drying ont is complete. which may he
known by the skin o peeling readily
1t will be safe TO place the potatoes
in a cellar or in a pit for winter. This
should not be done until cool weather
comes. Blightcd potatoes need most
careful handling. as they are likely 10
develop rot if left in large heaps
while the weather Is hot.
