Uit no pore exists in any eye of ft potato, con sequently no scab is over found In one. Every eye that Is surrounded by scabs remains entire, and wltlseud upsprouts if planted, but thev come weakly and look pinched as if the food on which they live was insutlleleiit or unwhole some. They make feeble plants and cannot U deien,,.d on for n full crop. Y hat particular H1ecs the pores jn r fonn for the growing tuber we shall learn farther on. Scabs nt first arc quite small, seldom as large as a small pea, oftener no larger thnii the head of a pin, and they do not of themselves increase In size; that. Is, they do not encroach on the tiuseabUHi spaces by w h!ch they are sttrrouiHlcd. NVhat growth they "do make l never from the eehter outward toward the circumference, but from the circumfer ence toward the center. And nothing grmvs but the outer layer of the skin. The inner layer contribute nothing to the scab; the cnidermls. or outer lay er, furnishes, wholly and entirely, that of w hich it is made. Th design of the scab seems to Iks to nllord additional protection to the wound. "Hut if sealw are small nt first and do not grow, how come, they to lie ns large as we sometimes see them in large IHltatlH'S?" TUat is only a seeming difficulty, not a real one. A scab which at- Its Inceit tion is only ono-ciirht of an Ineli in di ameter, will, as the tuber lncrens- in size and widens the hose that the scab covers, increase to thrco-cinhts, four- eights and even mow, as the increased growth enlarge the diameter ot the circle that Incloses it. "If that is all there Is nltout scabs growing, why wt.s it not found out sooner? " It is not all there is nhnul It, but the searcher did not look In the right place. They did not ask the plant what It liad'lKHMi feeding on that had dissagived with it, and which on Is-iny: thrown out of it circulation had made f.iec, which hud been 1 Vt Ved with s seiil, as all pimples soon are. lint wtiuiii yon tnink tit a pny sielan whoon lulmicallcd tosoeyoiirson j u'Iioh' face was covered with blotches, ; should, instead of inquiring what 1111- wholesome fix! the little glutton had ttccti Muffing himself v. ith, look into j the lining of his cap, search his boots, j or feel in his pockets ?

Every farmer should make It a point to fight the weeds. To get rid of the j annual varieties all that is neecessary is I to cut them off liefore they seed. - Those ! Hint are perennial require more work, but may be destroyed by sistcntly cut ting them dow n during the prevalence of a hot dry.sjx'H. Some of them may require liemg dug up by the roots, but anv j:,iM,r th7it may ix? bestowed upon tlieir eradication will bea saving in the future. g The late Professor Dick found that a horse not working could lie kept in fair condition on twelve pounds of hay and five pounds of oats; but where a good amount of w ork had to. lie done it re quired fourteen pounds of hay and four teen pounds of grain. Horses used for very fiist work are fed considerably more grain, as iryieh aseighteen pound's or even twenty siunds where they are continuously employed and have "to be kept in prime condition. Iteports of crop conditions collected from over 1,000 joints in the North west state that although wheat has damaged by the prolonged drouth and intensely hot weather in some localities the general prosjiects are encouraging. There is a largely increased acreage, es liecially in Dakota, and the yield in the Northwest promises to lie the largest ever known. The outlook for -corn is favorable. There w ill le short crops of timothy and flaxseed, and the barley crop also threatens to be a partial fail ure. . - ' - TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT. Mll'IKU MY THK irwiiPin' ChrMhtn Tctitjtcrnncr.
