At Newbury, VI, there is to be erected
magnificent memorial window in honor
of the old Newbury seminary, which
flourished from 1884 to 1865. The WIN
dow is to contain the names, in their
proper order, of all the principals of the
school. These men were strong, able,
Christian scholars, and their power was
great in their day and time, Rev.
Charles Adams, > no was principal from
1891 to 1888, was succeeded by Rev. Os-

lSGS. The window is to be placed in the
end of the Methodist church, back of the
pulpit. 1t is heroic in size, measuring
some five feet in width by over II feet in
height. Great credit is due to the Hon.
Horace W. Bailey for his efforts in the
matter The cost of the window has
been contributed by prominent persons,
who have gone out from the old seminary
into all the states of the Union. Hon.
Alden Speare and Freeman j. Doe and
Albert II. Hoyt of Boston are active in
its erection. The erection of this win
dow has been steadily reaching Its devel-
opment for year or more, and its exc
cution has been placed in the studios of
Redding, Baird q Co. of Boston. Its
dedication will attract visitors to the old
town from all over the United States,
and it will rank as one of the important
memorial windows in New England.

Among the valuable discoveries made
by the experiment stations is that Of the
cause Of and remedy for potato scab.
Formerly potato growers held too numer-
Gus widely differing ideas as TO why po-
tatoes scabbed. Variety, soil, manure,
water. worms and insects were each and
all in turn considered responsible. 1t
has been found that, while these things
may influence the development of the
disease, the real cause i fungus or
mold, which eats its way into the surface
of the young tubers. This same fungus
causes scab of beets. The spores or
germs of the fungus may live from year
to year in the soil and when a second
crop of potatoes is planted upon Infected
land the disease may reappear. and old
garden soils thus become unfit for pO-
tato culture. Such soils should be seeded
to grass and allowed to remain in sod for
five years or longer before being planted
to potatoes or other root crops. Lime
and barnyard manure both favor the in
crease of the germs in infected soils, but
cannot cause the disease In the absence
of the ge' ms. The germs also pass the
winter upon the potato tuberS, and prob
ably much of the disease is started by
the planting of such infected seed. This
can be entirely avoided by dsinfectng
the seed potatoes before planting. The
/ process is simple and Inexpensive. 1t
consists in soaking the potatoes, before
they are cut. in either of the following
! solutions FUrmalin (formaldchyde),
pint in II gallons water; soak seed p1ta-
/ toes two hours. Corrosive sublimatc
/ (mercuric chlorid) deadly poison. ounce
/ in gallons water, soak seed potatoes
/ II hours. do not allow stock to eat
potatoes after poisoning.) The Vermont
experiment station aSes the fOrmaln so
luton. and recommends It i'm preference
to the latter because it is not an active
poison to animals, and also because the
corrosive sublimatc solution is liable tC
slightly retard the termination of the
treated seed. The same solution may bt
used for several successive lois of seed
potatoes, so that pint of formalin, cost
ing from - to 80 cents, will disinfect
seed enough for a large potato field
The disinfected seed may be cut anG
planted at once or kept until needed. II
the latter case 1t should be stored in clear
sacks or bins to avoid contamination
This simple and cheap remedy should be
used by every potato grower.
