How Seed Potatoes Are Cut.

near the stem end with 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 well 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
rusive 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 a semi-dormant state, which
develops after the tuber is planted,
and spreads to the leaves of the grow:
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.

KEEPING ANTS OUT OF HIVES
Ordinary Table Turned Upside Down
With Empty Inverted Tomato
Cans viii Do the Wor X.

To the numerous inquiries as to
how to keep ants out of hives, why
not take Josh Billings advice as to
bedbugs-"just kill 'em all? The
best way to kill ants is with the oft
repeated remedy, 1. e., bisulphide of
carbon. However, there are places
which, for one reason or another, it
is almost impracticable to kill off the
ants; and then the apiarist needs a
Newsstand that will exclude them.
The illustration shows one of my
hive-stands complete and ready to have
the hive placed upon 1t, writes j. M.
Caldwell in the Gleanings in Bee Gull
ture. 1t is nothing but a table turned
upside down, and an empty tomato
can, with the top melted of, inverted
over each table-leg The ants can
crawl up the table-leg and all around
on the inside of the can, but they can
not make the turn around the lower
edge of the cans, and come up on the
outside of cans and thus reach the
hive.
The space between the table-leg
and inside of cans must be at least
half an inch; but the cans rest on the
ends of the legs.
Just take an old super or box. Cut
four pieces 2x2x12, and nail one in
each corner. Round of the projecting
edges, then melt the tops of from four
