when to Dig the Tubers-After Treat
ment storing In Shallow Blns.
The question invariably arises in sea
SOUS when ret is indicated, Shall the
potatoes be dug al once or left i'll the
soil:' Various replies are given TO this
query. Here is what Country Gentle
man says on the subject:
If the tubers have begun to show the
discoluratIon of the potato rot, 1t is bet
ter to dig them at once. II the vines
are dead. or nearly so, the tubers will
not grow any more, and by leaving them
IN the ground the sound ones will be
liable to be infected by the spores of the
fungus which are yet in or on the
ground, but which succeeding rains
will wash down into the soil and bring
into contact with the tubers, where they
will do their hateful work If the tops
are not yet dead, they will only serve
TO increase the crop of spores, which
drop from them to the ground and which
by the next soaking rain will probably
be carried down and brought in contact
with the tubers, thus increasing the
destructive work. If the tops are not
dead and we could be sure of no more
rain for few weeks, it would perhaps
do to leave the tubers III the ground
but this is not certainty, nor is it
desirable.
If tho tubers are dug and only the
sound ones stored i'll "a cool, dark, dry
cellar, the surface having first been
dried, they will not be likely to rot
Sometimes, however, the rot continues
to develop after the tubers are stored.
This is brought about i'll two or three
WAYS. The tuber may be affected, but
the fungus is i'll such an early stage of
development that it has not yet produc-
ed a sufficient discoloration to be noticed
The rot i'll such cases will be likely
to develop and make its presence known
in due time. Again, there may be spores
in contact with the surface of the potato,
but which have not yet sent their ger
minal threads into its flesh
If the potatoes are put in the cellar
while yet moist or with moist Jumps of
earth adhering to them, the dampness
will cause these spores to terminate,
and the potato will i'll due time show
signs Of rot. In the third place, an
affected tuber may communicate the
disease to sound one with which it is
in contact. 1t is desirable therefore that
they be stored i'll crates or in shallow
bins, so that they can be more surely
kept dry and moro easily examined and
any affected ones that may appear be
quickly taken out Moisture is the
friend of the rot, dryness it's enemy.
Last season there was little or no rot.
There was not rain enough to carry
what spores muy have been produced
into the ground deep enough to come in
contact with the tubers. This season the
case is different

Sowing Winter fRye.

Rye is harder than Wheat, and it
will grow on less fertile ground. 1t can
be sown any time during October and
even into November aud make good
crop next year. y seeding of timothy
should be sown with the rye and either
common clover or alsike next spring. In
most localities the rye straw will sell for
moro than the cost of blowing and seed
ing, leaving the grain and the new seed
ing of the ground as clear profit. This
is much better than letting the land lie
idle next year, as much of it will prob
ably do if not plowed and seeded this
fall. American Cultivaror.

Members of the Nansen expedition say
that SO tired did they become of seeing
the same faces and hearing the same
voices day after day in the course of the
slow drift northward that in the end a
feeling of irritation was produced. At
times this irritability became wellnigh in
supportable, and the men would set off on
long walks across the ice, each man by
himself and carefully avoiding his fellows.
