DOG LANGUAGE
(Darwin was as ,keen an observer of
the dog as 'he was Of " wild animals
which support his great theory of the
survival of the fittest, 'Particularly
has he mated the language of . this
friend of man, studied his vocabulary
and indicated his absence of dumbness
by various expressions that served as
an outlet for emotion and .communi-
cation, in his celebrated work on the
"Descent of Man." Various para-
graphs therein are devoted to the dog,
The great sc'ientis,t, for instance, has
this observation to record:
"It is a more remarkable fact that
thedog, since being do'•nte'stioated,'has
learned to bark in at least four.,or five
distinct `hones. Although barking is a
new art, uo doubt the wi'ld parent -
species of the dog expressed .their
feelings by cries of various kinds.
With the domesticated dog we have
'the bark of eagerness in the chase;
that of anger, as well as groveling; the
yelp or holed of despair, as when shut
up; the baying at .night; the bark of
joy as when starting on a walk with

THE PREVENTION OF FROST
INJURY TO POTATOES
From' investigations couductecl by
the staff of the Dominion Laboratory
of Plant Pathology, 'Charl'otteto'wn, it
has been observed that potatoes al-
fected by low temperature's may be
subject to three main kinds of injury,
namely, frost necrosis, freezing -solid,
and turning sweet. Frost necrosis oc-
curs in tubers which have been exp,os-
ed to law temperature for a period of
time sufficieut to permit the forma-
tion of ice crystals in the tissues, and
upon cutting.into such tubers there
may be seen necrotic areas of which
types are recognized as follows:
'Ring -necrosis as'shown by'the
browning in the vicinity of the,vascul-
:u ring. Necrosis 61 this nature is an
indication of slight injury due to short
exposure at low temperatures,
'Net necrosis, caused by the darkee-
htg of the fine threads composed of
vascular cells led scattered through

like pattern.

slightly above the freezing point of
water. \'Thile these potatoes have not
been ffoze,n, it means nevertheless
that they have been stored where the
temperature was 'critically low. From
'this espdanetian i1 is seen that table
,tock potatoes es.pecia'lly should ,not
be su+h'jected to low temperatures for
inng periods, and for this purpose a
range of 315 deg. ,to 38' deg, F. is con-
sidered sale, In the case of seed pot-
atoes, however, the storage tentpeea-
tore ntay be as low as 3!3 deg F. with-

under these conditions ,the tubers
should be allowed to 'waren nn long
enough to insure rapid sprout devel-
opnenft after planting.
'In order to prevent the losses' dtte
to low. temperatures, it is necessary
to ' adopt the following four very im-
portant measures': First—harvest the
crop 'before ,the ,usual time for heavy
frosts. ,S'econd=for seed potatoes store
the crop where the temperature is
not lower than 33 deg. F. and between

should be reasonably mature as tub-

According to authorities an the sub-
