quite so nice, and a good many people are afraid to 

 use them for seed, even after being treated. I have 

 tried the treatment with corrosive sublimate for sev- 

 eral years, and I believe it kills the fungus com- 

 pletely.

How are you Going to Dig your Potatoes? 



It is time in most places to be digging potatoes; and, 

 in fact, in some places it is past time. If you want 

 something that will put the potatoes all on top of the 

 ground, and do it, too, with one good strong team, 

 you probably can not do any better than to use the 

 Dowden potato-digger, made by the Dowden Mfg. 

 Co., Prairie City, Iowa. Drop them a postal card, and 

 they will cheerfully give you all the particulars, an- 

 swering every question anybody will probably ask in 

 regard to the machine. Mr. A. I. Root, of the A. I. 

 Root Co., is using one with excellent satisfaction in 

 digging his crop of potatoes grown expressly for seed. 



Poultry Supplies. 



Years ago, when I first started furnishing imple- 

 ments for bee-keepers I sometimes used to lament 

 that there was no institution for furnishing poultry- 

 keepers and egg-producers complete outfits for their 

 business, such as were then offered to bee-keepers. 

 Well, of late I have been agreeably surprised to see 

 large fine catalogs, illustrating every thing that the 

 poultry-man can possibly want, and at exceedingly 

 reasonable prices Just now I have looked over with 

 great interest a catalog, from the Reliable Incuba- 

 tor Co., Quincy, III. It contains 150 pages, and they 

 offer every thing from a simple egg tester up to a full- 

 grown poultry house — no, no! I do not quite mean 

 full-grown; but they offer a poultry-house in the fiat, 

 of the most approved pattern, including door and 

 window, nest-boxes, roosts, and all, for only $20.00. 

 They make these in such quantities that they furnish 

 them painted, all complete, and as cheap as the or- 

 dinary person remote from the lumber-camps could 

 purchase the material for — yes, at times for less than 

 they could buy even the rough lumber for it. It is put 

 together with hooks and eyes in such a way that one 

 can set it up in a few minutes without even driving a 

 nail. I think it will pay every poultry-grower to send 

 for their catalog, ^nd look at the pictures. It will give 

 him some hints, even if he does not buy a cent's worth 

 of the company. — A. I. R.
