TOMATO BLIGHT.
Is Fungus Growth That Begins Attack
in the Seed Bed.

Tomato blight is due to fungus.
which attacks the plants for the most
part in the seed bed. This being the
case, there can be no remedy for the
plant after it is once attacked This
is true, for the reason that the fungus
grows on the inside of the plants and
evidently enters only the rootlets Of
young plants. By examining the it's
sues of a young plant with a micro.
scope, the threads of the fungus may
be seen clogging the cells where they
interfere with the passage of food ma
terial. At the present time, then we
see no hope of ever being able to com
bat this blight successfully in the field
But we do hope to find a method Of
prevention by improving the sanitary
condition of the seed beds. With this
end in view, we believe it will pay to
thoroughly clean and disinfect the
frames or fats in which the seeds are
planted. This may be done by wash
ing or spraying all of the parts after
the dirt and soil have been removed,
with a strong solution of copper sui
phate. Then fresh soil and manure
should be procured, which should also
be sterilized. This can be best done by
steam This may be done at small
cost by fitting up a small system Of
two-inch iron pipes which are to be
placed in the bottom of bed made
for the purpose. Three ten or - foot
lengths of pipe will be ample, and
small holes must be drilled in them
about six inches apart to allow steam
to escape. The pipes are now placed
parallel to each other and connected
at both ends, so that they are about
IL inches apart. The apparatus
may be connected to a traction engine
or other available source of steam sup
ply. Soil should be filled into the bed
over the pipes to the depth of about
one foot, then the surface covered with
gunny sacks or some similar material
II steam Is turned on for an hour. the
low organisms will be killed and
plants which will be practically free
from blight should be raised in soil
which has been treated in this man

The Wrecked ErIaate,a Bell.

Probably very few people are aware
that an old ships bell which for many
years has lain under the sea is sus-
pended in the underwriting room at
Lloyds and is used to announce" the
arrival or other news received in re-
spect to overdue ships, This is the
bell OF the frigate Lutine, wrecked
long ago of the Dutch coast. After
being under the water for years the
bell was saved and now, strangely
enough, is employed to inform under
writers that something has been heard
of one Of those ships which. by their
protracted passages are causing un-
easiness. Not every ship that is on the
overdue market is announced In this
manner 1t is only when an under
writer MS expressed to the committee
his dente for immediate information
In respe:t to this or that overdue yes
sci that she note OF the old black bell
rings through the rooms. At the pres
ent time. Gays the Scotsman, there are
II ships down on the list for announce
ment by the Lutine bell, but some of
these are so hopelessly overdue that
II is practically certain nothing fur
ther viii be heard of them. The big
steel bark Alsternixe. for instance,
heads the list. She was formerly the
British ship Lord Templemore and
was built at Belfast in 1892. This ship
has not been heard of since last No

The Farmers Vegetable Garden.

The farmers vegetable garden is
growing in popularity with the farm
ers that wish their families to have
the greatest amount of comforts in
their farm life. A half acre devoted to
this work can be made constant
source of pleasure, not only on account
OF the vegetables it will produce but
also on account of the large amount
OF information it will yield up relative
to what treatment of the soil will give
the best results. Such a garden should
be very heavily MANFRED, so that It
will be always at its best for produc'
ing crops. We would put on manure
both fall and spring and see that the
manure gets into the soil Such gar
den If properly worked can but be
profitable and be a constant source OF
delight.
