Y. By careful spraying experiments conducted by growers themselves, It is shown that the average annual preventable loss to potato growers lu this state from blights nnd insects Is nearly fifty bushels to the acre. This represents a yearly loss of more than ton million dollars which might be prevented by spending less thun ten dollars an acre for spraying. Estimate of Losses. A careful estimate of losses from the loose smut of outs In New York shows that five per cent of the crop is destroyed annually by this fungus disease, a net loss of more than a 1319 wh(n tl,e Bv Ulll,km dolIars was made. surve.v The f,'nment 0sses fora apple scab, codling moth, an 3ose scae from peach h ! aild anff Are blight, and from all the 0,lier common insect pests and detructlve plant diseases, If they could accurately calculated, would show I a fi,,a,1d total of appalling magnitude. This tremendous annual tax on the plant production of the state might he greatly reduced by the proper application of known methods of control. The method of control to he employed for a given Insect pest of fungus disease must be determined by the nature and habits of the enemy and by the character of the crop attacked. Plants can seldom be cured of disease as are men and animals; they must be protected from the attack. If sucking insects are to be controlled, something must be applied that will kill when it hits them ; if biting insects are to be combated, the fruit and foliage of the plants must be sprayed or dusted with a poison that when eaten will destroy the pest. Prevent Diseases. .Many fungus diseases are prevented by spraying the plants before the disease appears, with a mixture destructive to the fungus hut harm less to the plant. The poisons that destroy fungi are seldom effective against insects, and hence we have Often fungicides and insecticides. these can be combined in one tare for Insect and fungus pests of certain crops as, for example, ar-isenate of lead aud lime sulphur foi controlling codling, moth and apple scab. i"s leges.

Eating too much rich food creates acids, which excite the kidneys. They become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fall to filter the waste and poisons from the blood. Then we get sick. Rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders often come from sluggish kidneys.
