In nearly every litter of pigs there
will be one and sometimes two pigs
that are so much smaller than the rest
that unless taken out an fed separ-
ately they will be understood ali their
lives. We have tried so often to
make something out of runts and have
always found that al the pork they
could be made into cost more than it
was worth. 50 we used to kill the
runt pigs, believing that the care and
feed the runt would require could be
much more profitably given TO the
thrifty pigs in the same er.-Bos-

In selecting varieties of potatoes to
plant, especially those whose reputa-
tion is not established, care should be
taken to avoid those marked with
deep eyes. Nearly all potatoes have
to Dc pared before being cooked, and
the deep eye is almost always cut ont
without making hole in the potato.
This is the more wasie!ul, because
the part of the potato which is thrown
away with the peelin5 is more nutri-
tious than that which grows near the
centre Of the potato.

eussion Of experiments, con ueted u
1897, in prevention Of the disease.
For tea years the station has recon-
mended the use Of potassium sulphids
treatment. but others have strongly
advocated Bordeaux mixture; so it was
decided to test various fungicides side
by side. Potassium sulphide. lysol,
formalin and Bordeaux mixture were
applied in different strengths Of solu-
tion, and, with all but lysol, treat
ments were begun early, medium
enrly and late.
Mildew appeared May &c, and by
the time the berries we're picked, July
6 and z, the disease had affected
nearly so per cent, 81 the fruit on the
nntreated bushes. The treatments
with potassium sulphide, one ounce
in three gallons Of water, beginning
early aud making seven applications,
reduced the amount of mildew to five
per cent, while six applications aud
rive applications. beginning later, ga, 9
f.om two aud one-half to three times
as much widowed fruit. The stronger
solution of the potassium sulphide did
not do quite as well as the weaker, but
much better than any other fungi
eide.
The amount OF perfect fruit per
bush, taking the average of six plats
sprayed with the weaker solution of
the sulphide was sixty-four ounces;
with the stronger solution, forty-six
ounces, while the only other plat APP
preaching these yields was one re-
ceiying lysol, one ounce TO fonr gal
Ions of water. which gave foFty-four
ounces of mildew-frce fruit.
The other fungicides ranked in eff
fectiveness us follows: Lysol, Bordeaux
mixture and formalin.
The potassium sulphide treatment
is very inexpensive, the solution Civ
ing best results costing only one-fifth
of cent for each bush for seven APP
plieations.

''All right, Mr.. Webster,n quickly replied the
Nantucketer. Here's your 81 900. You come
