Pototo blight is threatening Vermont
fields. Unless proper measures are
promptly taken to meet this disease there
will be serious damage to the crop. Pro-
fessor Jones, botanist of the Vermont
Experiment Station, has been visiting
potato fields and stands back of this ir-
formation. The professor reports that
he has very recently found the first
symptoms of the late blight. In no case
was 1t very far advanced. A few leaves
on each affected hill showed the brown.
ish black spots and when examined care
fully on the under side each spot re-
vealed the delicate white mildew which
is the cause of the disease. Prompt APP
plication of Bordeaux mixture In such
fields is the only thing that can prevent
serious loss from blight and rot.
If any farmer is in doubt as to whether
his potatoes have the blight or not it will
be best to send specimens by mail to the
Experiment Station, Burlington. VT.
The best way to send such specimens is to
roll them in newspaper, since they do not
blacken and decay so quickly thus as
when packed in box. The best remedy
which is made as follows: Take II
pounds of blue yitriol "copper" sulphate)
and ! pound of quick lime (not air slack
ed to ten gallons of water. Dissolve
the vitriol in one-half the water, Stake
the lime In another vessel and add it to
the rest of the water, thus making thin
whitewash. Then mix the two and stir
thoroughly. Add Paris green if desired
for bugs. This may be applied in what
ever way is most convenient, the aim be-
ing to cover the upper surface of every
leaf as completely as possible. This can
be done best and most economically OF
both time and mixture by means of a
spray pump. But sprinkling can or
even pail and whlsp of hay may serve
the purpose in the absence of the pump
Be sure to apply literally, using at least
three barrels to the acre. Bordeaux
mixture will not iniure the plants if used
in any amount. Do the work promptly
and thoroughly or it will be of little use

Keeping a Smooth Road In summe r

In the summer when roads get
roughed up they can be materially i'm
proved at small expense by running
over them with a harrow, having the
teeth down quite fat. If the roads are
little muddy, this treatment will
make them dry faster, and also make
them much more pleasant to use after
they have dried.

Drainage Is the most important mat

drainage. Drainage alone will often
change bad road to good one, and
the best road may be destroyed by the

An OLD SCHEME AND 4 NEW ONE.

Under The administration Of Mayor Gilroy a
scheme for building a new City Hail. which had
been more or less languidly discussed for a
number of years was revived with the cnthusi-
astic approval of the municipal authorities and
So successfully promoted that il seemed certain
10 he accomplished. In response 10 the invita-
tion of commission i'm charge Of the enterprise
no fewer than l34 j. signs were submitted. and,
though no one of them was satisfactory in il
self. the Mayor conceived the novel idea that
combination of several might be made TO serve
the purpose admirably. SO far as We remem-
her. there was no strong general sentiment
against the construction of = public build
ing for the accommodation # the Mayor and
Aldermen. the Surrogates Court the Registers
office and some other municipal departments,
hw there Was determined and persistent pro-
test against one particular feature of the
scheme namely, thu Appropriation of a large
part of City Hall Park for the purpose and the
consequent destruction of the City Hall From
such act of vandalism the community had
formerly been protected by the legislature hut
in 1892 the law relating ID the proposed mu-
nicipal building was amended as 10 enable
the commission 10 invade the park if il saw fit
and 1har is precisely what il meant 10 do when
in 1894 Mayor Gilroys project reached the
verge OF realization.
But the managers of The enterprise had not
taken the force of public opinion into account
The opposition, N first hopeless RAPIDLY de-
relop'd: bin 10 repeal the provision of the
act OF 1892 permitting the occupation of the
park was introduced in the legislature after
stiff fight against formidable odds was passed
and, 10 the lasting credit of Governor Flower
was signed by him in spite OF tie urgent en-
treaties Of the Tammany administration Few
OF his official acts Were heartily and CRATE
fully applauded by the people of this city who
felt that they had won "A notable victory and
that no further attempt would be made 10 re-
verse their will. Some complications resulted
on account of the architects who had ioined in
the competition. but believe they caused
no serious difficulty. though we have forgotten
City Hall has been considered safe. and the
public has lately looked forward with mucb
satisfaction 10 the time when the completion of
the new Hall Of Records would permit the
demolition OF the shabby old buildings in the
northeast corner Of the Park and the addition
10 iis clear space Of the ground they occupy.
We have been reminded Of this incident i'm
the history of the city by the recent announce
Inent that the municipal administration has de-
1ermined 10 remodel and enlarge the County
Courthouse AT a cost Of not less than 81 O00 600
Of course. this operation is planned on far
smaller scale than WAS the scheme for tearing
down the City Hall and putting UP an i'm
mense new building and around its site but
nevertheless, it is open Ia least Of the
objections which prevailed against the utmost
endeavors Of Mayor riroy and his advisers In

and might lead the taking Of further liber-
ties i'm years to come. The people did not OPP
pose and defeat the scheme which came so near
