Catsrrh is as much a blood dis ease as scrofula or rheumatism. It may be relieved, but 1t cannot be removed by simply local treatment. It breaks down the general health, weakens the lung tissues, and leads to consumption.

THE FARM PUZZLES OF THE PRESENT
 SEASON
SEASON

So I just bought what I could af- ford of the costlier grades and tried a lot of cheap lime and ground rock for the remainder. The season has been moist and rather cool. We have had less than a. half-dozen real hot days, and even fewer hot nights. At the same time. the rainfall has been not excessive but frequent. We have had no drenching, soaking, three-day storms, but showers every day or two. The brooks are low, almost as if in a drouth- But the upper surface of the garden is moist and has been all sum mer. I haven't been able to raise a dust-mulch the whole season because the surface never got dry enough to make dust. Why. when my first eel cry got big enough to need handling, it had to stand two full weeks un- touched, because during all that time, though there wasn't rain enough to affect the springs. there were showers every day to keep the top ddrt along side that celery wet

We'll, now for a few instances:

I gave my potatoes the smallest ma nuring they ever had on this farm Moreover. they had to be planted on ground which had grown potatoes the two years preceding, making three consecutive years in potatoes on the same ground-which is not natural po- tato ground. either. planted live varieties, running from extra early to fairly late. Part of the patch is dry gravelly Ioam; part reclaimed swamp and not so thoroughly reclaimed, at that, but it is mighty soggy soil, this season. The yield is the biggest the patch has ever given me. The quality is high, barring the scab which infests some bits of it. And here comes in one puzzle which I can't yet solve. The tuhers which grow in the wet swampy parts are invariably smooth, fair, scabless; those growing in the dry parts of the rows are invariably scab- by. No lime nor ashes were used, and all the seed was soaked in corrosive sublimate solution. All the neighbor- ing potato growers with whom I have had chance to compare notes report the same mystery. Potatoes growing on soggy soil are smooth and mealy; those growing on dry soil are rough and scabby and watery.
 And no two of us manured or culti- vated just alikei And the season has been mofster than any for several | years!
 l gave my pole beans, Limas, etc, a | rather heavy manuring. The dwarf beans got practically no manure. Both | grew more luxuriantly than ever before | in my experience. But the unmanured | string beans bore a phenomenal crop phenomenally early, while the manured pole beans are two weeks late and such
 a tangle of vines as I never want tc I struggle through again. Last year with just ordinary manuring, those | same beans were puny, sickly vines with practically no beans at all or them. That's why I shoveled on the | extra manure this spring. As the year
 has turned out, I'd have done better had I put on no manure at all.
 But how's fellow going to know | in May, what the weather is to be in
 July and August?
 Il Sweet corn had practically no sta. ble manure; just a little dirty hay anC
 straw plowed under, and a sprinkling
 of lime and ground rock narrowed in | The patch has been in corn for al least fifteen consecutive years, too. It's the biggest yield of stalks and the fill ingest yield of roasting ears I've had within memory.

Now, what are the lessons thess and many like experiences ought to teach me for next year?
 I confess that the facts puzzle me It has been, on the whole, a good sea- son for my sorts of crops. But I can't, thus far, get much real light on what my manures and fertilizers did tow ards making it such. I can see what the weather has done. can see what the results of our frequent showers have been. Does it mean that there was so much humus and plant-food stored up in my gardens from past manurings that all they needed was frequent watering to release it2 Would my crops have been earlier and better this particular year, if hadn't put on any manure at all? It surely looks so, in some cases
