The householder who is putting in a
small garden now may have a great
deal of fun poked at him from his
neighbor on the other side of the fence

not be appreciated at this time But
all this is as nothing compared with
the luxury when August comes around
of eating vegetables fresh from ones

Plans are being formulated by the
Washington County Railway Co. for
the erection at Eastport of new and
up-to-d date passenger and freight sta
of their large lot on the Key street
side. which will relieve the great
danger now existing by having the
station so near the county road, where
the travel both by team and on foot is
very extensive. A large store house
to hold thousands of cases of sardnes
is also among the possibilities in con-
nection with this construction.
The danger of setting fires these
dry days is shown from news received
from Port Clyde. Zenas Pease Thurs
day set fire to pile of brush in his
pasture at the Drinking Place between
Martinsville and Port Clyde, and as
he supposed it had gone out went
home and left it. He went to look at
the fire a short time later and found
that it had spread over an acre of
ground and was beyond control. II

near the stem end with a knife; In
cases Of bad infection, the black spots
may run half way through the tubers.
Where the infection, is slight, it may
occur only near the stem end. OF
course, some Of the tubers may be
free from spots, and these are safe for
planting on new land. but the disease
lives over in the soil as we'll as in
the tubers.
Where the disease has not pene-
trated more than one-third the length
Of the potato, the half Of the potato
toward the bud end may be used for
seed with better promise. In such
cases, the knife used for cutting
should be dipped in solution of cor
rosive sublimate, formaldehyde or car
bolic acid after cutting diseased tu-
bers, and before cutting others.
The usual seed treatment for scab,
ETC., will be very useful to kill dry-rot
spores which may adhere to tubers
and may be applied to the healthy
portions after separation from the dis
eased parts of potatoes.
The means by which late blight is
carried from place to place Is the
chief question which interests the ship
pers and planters of seed potatoes.
This is restricted to tubers which
show the dry rot. These carry the
fungus in semi-dormant state, which
develops after the tuber Is planted,
and spreads to the leaves of the grow.
ing plants. The purchaser has the
matter entirely in his own hands. II
he insists on all sound tubers and
plants, only such there will be no dan
ger of introducing late blight with
them.
Blight is probably never carried on
the surface Of the tubers.

TO REMOVE sTUMPs EASILY
Where Time Is No Object Hole May

An easy way to remove stumps,
where time is not an object, is to dig
a trench beside the stump and then
to bore a diagonal hole through the
stump SO that the lower end Of the
mole will be near the top of the trench
and the upper end some distance
above the ground. Build fire in the
trench and partially cover 1t so that
the fame will draw through the auger
hole like 1t would through fue. As
soon as the fire Is started a draft Is
created through the auger hole and
this helps to fire the stump much
more rapidly. This method requires
no great equipment and will be found
effective though 1t takes time. If one
