height of nine and half feet. and
then the exquisite bloom hung over
in such graceful way, showing a
flower almost black with bright, yel-
low center about the size of 25-cent
piece. The petals looked like heavy
silk velvet, and the blooms were as
large as my tubers produced. Some
of the others were equally as beauti-
full, one being a magenta, with the
back of the petals striped in white;
another was fawn shade and very
odd; another was yellow outlined on
each petal with red, and still an
other was a peculiar shade bordering
on brick-dust color, the back of the
petals being yellow. This combination
was perfectly beautiful, and thought
by many who saw it to be the love-
lest in the lot. In all, l secured 80
plants, and every one was a gem.

For a good many years the general
GARNER has contented himself with oc-
scasionally going over his potato
plants with a bucket and stick in an
attempt to eradicate entirely the de-
structive potato beetle or bug" In
a way this has answered the purpose,
since the plants were saved from be-
ting entirely consumed by the hordes
of insect pests that continually swarm
ed up from nowhere, but of course 1t
was impossible to rid each plant Of all
the bugs that infested 1t. Some of
the eggs were sure to remain and
hatch.
Then there were the many varied
plant diseases to which the tubers
were subjected and few years ago
no methods were available to effectu-
ally control them, since no systematic
study had been given to this branch of

every way than chicks in brooders
with no earth covering for the floors.
From this experiment the idea was
evolved that earthen floors were the
proper kind for young chicks and con.
tinued experiments were made on a
large scale.
The black earth floor was tried with
$4,000 chicks and proved SO successful
that less than five per cent of ordin-
ary brooder raised chicks die.
The idea of Mr.. Kellerstrass is that
board floors are too hard and I'M
natural for the feet of young chicks,
and that soil is soft and natural floor
for them. BY standing on the board
floor the chicks acquire leg weakness
that results in the white bowel trouble
and general weakening of the young
birds. With loose, dry soil as a floor
the chicks will early learn to scratch
and become active. Through scratch
inc. and exercise the birds grow strong.
