Rotten Potatoes.

The infection OF the potatoes with
the fungus which produces rot occurs
chiefly, If not entirely, in the field be-
fore digging; the infection is usually
the result of diseased vines and in most
cases the disease is not transmitted di-
rectly from the vine, but Indirectly
through the soil also, potatoes may be
infected directly In the field from
spores introduced into the soil the pre-
ceding year. Experiments with dry
Bordeaux mixture and soluble Bor-
deaux mixture show that both these
are less effective as preventives of
blight and subsequent rot than the reg
ular Bordeaux mixture.

Corn Meal Pork Not Cheap.

At one time it was customary TO
measure the cost of pork by the price
Of corn, and the usual estimate was ten
pounds OF pork for a bushel of corn,
but in recent years 1t has been dlscov-
cred that other feeds can be used TO
advantage, and pork made more cheap
ly with variety than with corn alone
Experience has shown that the hog rel
ishes the great variety OF feeds usually
produced on the farm, such as grass,
rape, all kinds Of clovers, defective and
immature fruits, house slops, skim
milk, buttermilk, whey from cheese fac
tory which. when fed in conjunction
with the grain ration, make pigs grow
faster and make weights at less cost
than when compelled to subsist entire
ly on corn.
