I tore I bulli my potato hons? i hill ny potatoes outside and was r troubled with the black rot, hut th often just rot'ed. If you can t me anything thal will help I sh appreciate it." The Hrs! thing is to ge! clean a lieall hy seed.

Sprinkle the potatoes with the formaldehyde after bedding and before covering. Then before stor ing the potatoes spray the ?'titire in terior of the house with the formal dehyde or Itara sulphur in the house. lt will be an advantage to store tlie potatoes in slatted ship ping crates which eau be piled so that the air will circulate around them. Cure al a temperature of 83 to 90 degrees, and avoid dampness in the house ill winter. Ammoniacal carbosate of copper sprinkled about the house after storing will help. Don't Ile Too East. The wot weather that has prevail ed throughout the most of the Pro gressiv?' Earilier territory during tile winter and spring lias had the effect of very much retarding Hie work of soil preparation, and when good plowing weather does come there is going to be a strong temptation to hurry the crops into the ground re gardless of whether thc soil bas been properly prepared. Tlie man who yields to ibis temptation is going to make a mistake that will trouble him all during tho cultivation sea son, and. ghost-like, will confront him next fall in the shape of very much reduced yields. To nothing does the adage that "if a thing is worth doing at all it ls worth (bung well." apply with great er force than to the preparation of the soil before the seed ar*- planted. That good preparation is more than half cultivation is a familiar paying with nearly all of ns, but in seasons like ibis we are to aid io prove thal we really do not believe this and that we li.ne in ver grasped its full sig nificance. Mid yet ?his expression is not so nearly an exaggeration as are many of such sayings. We hail far better ".ot plant I hi' full acreage that we have planned, and do what we do wei!, rallier than hurry our seed into poorly prepared ground and regret our haste all duing the cultivation season. The less acreage that this would entai! would at least enable us to give what we do plant extra care, ai , by reason of tho better preparation and better cultivation our increased yield would in al! probability more than make up, for thc reduction. This belter and thorough prepa ration is all the more necessary this vear because of the lad that there has been decidedly less winter breaking than usual, and tis a conse quence much ol' the moisture thal lias fallen has escaped. For this good preparation will largely make up. Protect! the Hillls. What are you going to do aho'it the birds this year? is a question I would like to ask you. Are you going to protect thom from their en emies, or are you going to let them light their own way? Are you go ing to put up boxes for them? Il you are, now is the time to do it so as to give tlie birds time to choose a box. I'ut up a pob> in tlie yard willi a box for blue birds. Even if there are no blue birds they will be very likely to come. Also put up some boxes in the : rees for wrens. I believe that if every one would do all he could to help the lords that we consider useful and protect them from cats, hawks, and English sparrows and blue jays, in a few years the necessity for spraying gar den truck would be greatly lessened.
