The Infection of the potatoes with
the fungus which produces rot occurs
chiefly, II 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 d.
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.

OVERCOMING T1M1DITY.
By John J. Holden.

One of the most devoted correspondents,
whose criticism, whether favorable or adverse
has been of great help to me, asks how to
overcome shrinking timidity and lack of self
confidence Milton says: "Ofttimes nothing
profits more than self-esteem, founded on JUS
tice and right, we'll managed" OF course,
the problem is to acquire a just opinion of
ones own powers, especially in reference to

Sweet Corn for Hogs.

Here is suggestion that will be Of
much practical value at some time to
every raiser Of hogs:
Not infrequently it happens that ear
ly in the fall, when green pasturaee 10
scarce, there seems to be nothing aid
hand to make suitable ration for the
hog. And 1t is the demands Of this
period that sweet corn is admirably
adapted to fill. 1t natures much earl
lier than field corn; and long after 10
has passed the table stage it affords q
toothsome dainty for hogs. There is
nothing like 1t to keep them in thrift
ty, growing condition. Another point
In Its favor Is that 1t makes splendid
food during the transition from succu-
lent pasturage to mature field corn
later on. Sweet corn need not be fed
in large quantities; four or six ears
with stalks to the average 1OO-pound
pig is sufficient, with the slop and
other things usually fed. II the sweet
corn patch is Enclosed, the pigs may
safely be turned in It; otherwise IL
should be cut and fed in the pasture.

Keep the pigs growing. Pumpkins are
fine for them In September. Separate,
from the others, those you intend to
fatten for early markets. Feed the soft
corn to these, with ground rye.
