W around nee the questions are naturally eu geeted, What in the cause of the " rot" and, What remedies can be adopted ? Cause.—This disease hoe received a gree dual of attention front botanists dime tb days when it became a scourge In Ireland and other Tarts of the Britieh Isles, and i Hs now conceded to be the result of minute fungus called Phyto hthora in es g 1 dans. This attacks all parts of tae plant leaf, stem and tubers. By. tbose ignorant of the life history of this tiny parasitic plan little attention is paid to its appearaaoe o the tops, and no alarm is experienced un til the potatoes aro affeoted. But being very contagious, its presence on the leave should become a seriouo matter, especial! when we remember that it spreads wit great rapidity. It is usually indicated b the tops presenting a blotched, brownish spotted, dead appearance. A o:or'e exaul inatien of the potatoes showing this will discover innumerable slender stems growing up out of the surface of the leaves andotem of the affeoted planta. Then branch and swell out at the enols into pear-shape minute bodies (eporeo),.wh1ch are produce by millions. SVhen ripe they separate from the stem and being exceedingly light pass into the atmosphere, where they ar wafted about, many of them finally reach ing the ground or settling upon plants. Under faerourable conditions of moisture and heat the contents of a miorosoopio spore may push out a long minute tube, whin can penetrate into any part of the potato plant and give rise to the fungus ; or may separate into several distinct portions (swarm spores) .which beret through the spore -wall and become the source of the parasitic plant. The mature plant which lives in the tops and tubers le very minute, and oan be seen only by the aid of the mi- croscope. It consists of many colonrlens, branohine, thrsad.like structures. These penetrate the tissues of the potato and feed upon the juices, so that it soon weakens and begins to waste away, From the thread-like structures tiny stalks arise, assuming beautiful plant -like forms and bearing uroa th sr nnhee the spores al- ready referred to, They five but a eh( rt time, but the thread-:ike structure is perennial and hardy, and from fragments of it new fungi may arise. It is said by some that another kind of spore is produc- ed which oen winter, and thus give rise to the organism in another " season, There are the eo-called resting spores, apparent- ly for the purpose of keeping the species over certain periods, while the spores al- ready considered are produced rapidly so as to hasten the spread of the fungus under favourable conditions. This minute mi- croscopic plant is deft/drily a low form of vegetable life, Inge pe of manufacturing food from the mineral kingdom, but fastenlagupon other plants and feeding up- on their juices, A wet season supplies con- ditions well adapted for its development, and hence we find the "rot " associated with such heather. There is no doubt that many spores are always more or less present, but they are prevented from being a source of treubio because the weather is not enited for their growth. Remedies ,—The " rot " tonally appears about the first two weeks in August, and if the weather is favourable its spread is very rapid, for as soon as the threadlike structure wbich arisee from the spore is de- veloped it immediately becomes spore -bear - Ing. Hence the importance of examining the plants for the appearance of the brownish spots that Indicate the presence of the fringes.

A peculiarly aid incident ocoured at San Rapids, Minn, Out in the rubbish so rods from the depot, wandering about t stricken neighborhood, was a middle age man. He looked haggerod and took notice of the curious peeplo who eons:anti passed him in their search among the ruin It was Chariot Shellgreeu, His home ha bean leveled to the ground by the cyolon and he was wandering near the spot whe his home had once stood. He was a pe man and had nothing but his home, 0 of the vieitore was the Rev. Mr. Pierce, Fergus Falls, who had onus proaohed Sauk Rapids, and not knowing how M Shellgreen had been afflicted. he approac ed him and asked if he had lost any bssid his house. The man stopped, walked u and shook hands with the man of God an said "my baby," He could go no furtha but eat npon the ruins of hie home, and th tears rolled from has eyes as his voice thio oned. His entire family had been killed, wife and four children, The woman an three of the children lay over in the dea house awaiting their oeff. s, but the fourth a little girl baby of some weeks, had no been found. The mintator could not ea cheer up, and he left the man sitting alon and desolate, with the tears streaming fro his dazed eves. He Fired. on Time. They engaged a new porter at a Lafayett Hotel, Everybody liked him, he was s cheerful, so obl€gnlf, end so rigorously an ecrupuldnely exact in carrying out every orde given him. The other day. Mr. J. B. John son, the vice-president of the Omaha Collie Plough Works, put up at the hotel. Mr Johnson is a very dignified and polished gen tieman, and extremely particular about h room and service. That evening a very extra ordinary thing occurred. Some say it wa about 9 o'clock, others place it as late as I0 At any rate, somewhere near that time Mr Johnson was amszld to sea the door of hi room open and a man step in. " Who the dickens are you ?" asked Mr Johneon. " 01 am the porter," replied the stranger deliberately removing his coat and rollin up his sleeves. "Well, what He the meaning of this singu lar intrusion?" Inquired Mr Johnson, Thomas did not reply. He spit upon hi 'Janda, executed a -rapid and fantastic jig, and leaped Suddenly upon the estondsne guest. " Help !

As noon as discovered, dig the pota- toes. Delay will allow it to spread to the etems, and thence to the tubers.

Growing early varieties is worthy of consideration, to that they may mature be fore the seaso.s arrivon when this parasite ds likely to affect the prop 4. All potato stalks in affected lands should be gathered and burned, so as to destroy the millions of spores which may be upon them, 5. Use none but good seed, If at all af- fected, reject them ; and plant in well - drained land, If the potatoes to be used for„ seed have been taken from cellars where affected 0ne8 were kept, they are likely to have the microscopic spores on them and escape notice. It would be best to get and from unaff€:ctod districts. G It is scarcely. neoecsary to remark that it would bo , editions to plant pota- toes in the samaf' old tie following year aft(r a visitation or he "rot," inasmuch as the ground may retain the ge7ms of the disease. 7. Avoid planting upon heavy clay soil, but prefer a light, and dry soil. This pre- sents the fewest conditions suitable for the growth of the fungus. The nature of our climate Is not so fa- vourable for the dovelopment of tide in- jurious fungus as that of Britain ; yet as we are sometimes visited by it, and although aoaroely viewed as a eoourge, it Is well that we should remember its nature and habits and always bo ready to guard against failure if it appears, As Mat summer was favourable for its propagation, great care should be exeroleod in the selootfon of mood this erring.—By tit Hoyes Panton M.
