Bulletin 03, issued by the and, •.

It is one aye, ka of the, most serious diseases known, *Ids •, affecting not only the farm lancleon which potatoes are grown, but the disease is also directly injurious to the health of the consumer of affect- ed potatoes. Boiling does not de- •stroy the. injurious properties. The, disease is characterized by nodular excrescences, which may ' often be larger than the tuber itself. These : "canters" affect the eyes of the po- tato and are very small in the early ate ges. Any' .. tubers found e with;' Smaller or larger outgrowths rising from where this eyes are .situated, should under no condition be used for see,cl or table purposes. The in- troduction and establishment of this- disease would seriously compromise one of the most important, agricul- tural industries of Canada, viz., petatoo-growing. Farmers- and con-. sinners •shoald•be exceedingly care- ful in using potatoes that may have been imported from Great Britain; or the eontinent of Europe. Su:spi- eious-looking tubers should be de- stroyed by tile, and not be thrown On the ground, or the disease, if present, will establish itself perma ncntly in the, soil. _ The bulletin referred to .explains in detail the character of the dis- ease and is available to . anyone making application for the same. th, int les ,th- l,nd ave ownenLow- nen 1." boy ake the rm, of to ing :ing aye ln'�t ry I: )ars and art. and ;her 1'af ill$ with art,' )oy "ant; aur her ete 'W M �`am Frtlr momme erre.,.

A • despatch from,,ltfahoney says: That the anthracite operators are preparing for a long period of idle- ness is shown by the fact that at several of the largest collieries in this section preparations are being nu'dc to hoist the mules to the sur- face. This is never done unless a period of idleness, covering several months, is expected. A prominent operator told the correspondent on Thursday that the situation was one that evidently could not be worked out in any way except by a test of endurance. "We simply cannot comply with the demands of the men for increased compensation," he said, "and we will not recognize the union and practically keep up. its membership, something that its own ufficors have failed to do, by collecting the union dues at the mines. Under the circumstances what are we to ,do except close down the mines and practically. get out of :business for the time being,", He iJJs'4YIndieted• for Ineiting,'1'roops to Mutiny.
