POTA1 O SCAB.
flow It ('nine and Wlint It Is. ,
Every scab commoners at llie'month
of a jwire, givnt numbers of which inay
le seen, without nrra'ngcmejit, in the
open space W'tween the eyes. 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

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

crop also threatens to be a partial fail
