Old combs that have had brood

become very dark colored, and honey,

stained If stored in them. But these
old combs are tough and make the best
of extracting combs if properly treated.
Lay them out in a rain, turning oc-
casionally to get each side filed. and
let them soak for awhile. Place them
on division board one at a time, and
give a quick, downward motion, which
will throw nearly all the water out of
the upper side. Turn the comb over
and repeat. The water will be very

Seed Potatoes.

SO far as known. the fungus which
causes the common rust" or late
blight and rot Of potatoes, lives over
winter only in the potato tubers 1t is,
of course, possible that it may exist in
resting stage In the soil or the
blighted vines or decayed tubers,
but most persistent search has
failed to discover this. If this belief
is correct, and the only place where
the fungus lives through the winter is
in the infected tubers, then the devel-
opment of the disease each succeeding
year Is n direct result of the planting
of some such infected tubers. All OBJ
servations are in harmony with this
explanation.
The unusually early and general de-
velopment of the fungus the past sum
mer is thus explained. for there was
enough of the rot in the autumn of 1901
to cause the widespread infection of
the tubers from which the seed of 1902
was selected. 1t follows that the still
worse development of rot this season is
prophetic of disastrous occurrence of
this disease in 1908, providing soil
and weather conditions next summer
are at all favorable
The practical question Is. what can
be done to lessen this danger? There
Is no method known of disinfecting
such diseased seed. Surface washes
are useless, for the fungus is safely
housed in the depths of the living po-
tato tissuc-and any known means of
killing the fungus by chemicals will
Kill the potato also.
1t has been suggested that heating
the seed potatoes six hours or longer
at 1OS degrees f., or thereabouts, dry
heat, would kill the fungus without in
juls to the potato. This has not been
fully demonstrated, and would not
prove practical to most farmers in case
it is reliable.
The Vermont Experiment Station au-
thorities can only recommend two
things as practical. The first is that
unusual pains be taken this autumn to
secure and preserve for next years
seed purposes, early-planted potatoes
grown on light, well-drained soil, which
escaped the blight, or else those from
fields so well sprayed as to be pro-
| tected. The second is that next sum-
mer every potato grower be prepared
beforehand with spraying outfit and
chemicals ready for prompt application
of the bordeaux mixture when needed.
Even in so discouraging a season as
the last one this remecy has proved
perfectly effective when used promptly
and thoroughly. In the well-sprayed
fields at the Vermont Station at Bur-
lington. considerable portion of the

than show their teeth and whine, and

old fellow got very drunk-thc first
time in his life, TO my knowledge. Be-
fore he was noticed, he had gone into
the cage with his tigers and fallen i'll
heap on the floor. The other keep
ers made several attempts TO take him
out OF the cage, but il was at once ap-
parent that to do SO meant bitter
and bloody fight with the tigers. They
guarded him all night in his drunken
slumber. But the next time he put them
to work they baked, and he could
neither persuade nor drive them. They
had ceased TO trust him. or something
