A picture of scabby seed is shown. There will be no scab -the crop unless these germs are ngrer in the soil when the-crop is planted or on the seéd. Prevention therefore depends upon two things. We should avoid planting in soil where the germs are found. If this is impossible we should handle the soil so that the germs will not be active. It seems to be settled that sulphur acts to destroy the germs. -Some potato growers in places where scab is bad put sulphur in the hill or dril. When potato planters are used the sulphur is mixed in the hopper and dropped with the seed into the furrow. It helps destroy the scab and prevents the seed pieces from rotting, especially in a damp season. The scab germs develop best in an alkaline soil. Lime, wood ashes and manure are all alkaline, and will usually cause trouble when the soil is known to be well supplied with the ‘germs. When a green crop is plowed under the soil is soured more or less, and this condition is best for scabby ground or seed. We have known farms

Scabby Potatoes.

where a five-year rotation is followed to show some curious results. One field would show far more scab than another and some seasons seem to favor the growth of scab. On those farms potatoes follow corn, and we think there is less scab when crimson clover is seeded in the corn and plowed under in spring. This seems to show ‘that the theory about a sour soil is sound. - ;

There are three methods of treating the seed—dusting with sulphur, soaking with some chemical to destroy the germs, and fumigation. The dusting is easiest, but not always effective. We cut the seed into peach baskets and scatter three handfuls of sulphur over the seed as it is put in. The basket is shaken 'down at intervals. As it stands on a paper the sulphur which falls through can be saved. For soaking formalin is now generally used. This liguid chemical, also called formaldehyde, can be bought at drug stores. The proportion is one pint of formalin to 30 gallons of water. It can be put in a barrel or large tank, depending on the amount of seed to be soaked. We use two barrels, one with the soaking liquid and the other containing clear water. The potatoes are first rinsed in the water. They are put in a coarse sack and soused up and down in the barrel. An easy way to do this is to have a pulley fastened over the barrel so that the bags can be easily raised or lowered. After rinsing the bag is lowered into the solution and kept there two hours. Then the potatoes are taken out, dried and cut. The rinsing takes off the dust, thus making the solution cleaner. Farmers have different methods of doing this soaking. The principle is to keep the seed in long enough to kill the scab germs without hurting the sprouts. Fumigation is now used by some large growers, says the Rural New Yorker. At first experiments were tried with sulphur fumes, as they are used for fumigating houses, but this did not succeed. Now the gas from formaldehyde is used with success. Instead of soaking the seed in a solution of this chemical it is turned into a gas and held in a elose room with the seed. The process is described as follows: |

“For a generator a small galvanized . washtub about 15 inches in diameter at the bottom was placed in the center of the room about a foot from the floor, midway between the two lines of crates filled with potatoes. . When ready Yo use 3114 ounces of potassium pérmanganate was spread evenly over the bottom of the tub, then four pints and one ounce of 40 per cent. formaldehyde poured over this. The tub was given one rapid tilt to entirely wet the potassium permanganate with the formalin. and then the ' door -was quickly and tightly closed from without. The almost entire absence of the odor of escaping gas while the treatment was in progress indicated that the room was practically air tight. The door remained closed for 24 hours, and when opened the gas was still so strong that it was impossible to work in the room for from 20 to 30 minutes. In fact, three weeks after the disinfection was finished a distinct odor of formaldehyde could be ®detected in the room. The seed for the entire 20 acres was treated in this -way, care being taken to place the treated seed in barsels which had never been used for potatoes before. This is to avoid contamination in

taking to the field after treatment.” This amount of the chemicals was figured for the size of the room. The rule is to use 23 ounces of potassium permanganate and three pints of formalin to each 1,000 cubic feet. TUnder this treatment the seed potatoes gave ahout as good results as when soaked. The room should be arranged S 0 that none of the potatoes are put directly over the rising gas. It is 'better to fumigate before the sprouts start. Do not wet the potatoes before fumigating, but pour a small- quantity of boiling water on the floor just be-

: PHYSICLOGY OF "I'REE?. : Some Facts as to Their Life and Growth: : Roots and leaves are the life organs of trees. A large part of the roots, however, only serve as conductors of water and food material. The young fibrous roots that are covered by fine hairs, are the only ones ‘which take water and minerals from the soil. The trunk and branches, simply serve as conductors of food material between the leaves and ?ots. If the fibrous roots are cut off of exposed. so that they dry out, the tree will, in all probability, die. Some trees, like locusts,! willows, poplars, etc., have the power of renewing their roots readily. Such trees always transplant easily. Therefore, the first care in transplanting trees is to keep the fibrous roots from drying out, and to protect them from injury during the time which transpires before the tree is planted again. ?

In growing, trees build up a body of cell tissues, make foliage, flowers and fruit. ;

They take up food material from the soil-and air, changing it into cellulose and various other compounds. Like all other plants, trees depend upon moisture, heat and light as.the means of performing.their growth. From the soil trees principally get water by means of the.fibrous roots. This water is carried to the leaves, through the trunk and branches, being partly used for wood formation on its way and partly given up to the air by the leaves.

Minerals are taken only in small quantities and consist mostly of lime, potash, magnesia and nitrogen. They are carried to the leaves where they combjne with part of the water in f aration. . ; rgest amount of water, however, taken up by a tree, transpires, or in other words, is given to the air in the form of vapor. So most of the mineral substance remains In the leaves, these in turn return it to the soil, ‘when they are shed and left to decompose on the ground. This explains the fertility of soil in timber land. : But now we must return to what the tree gets from the air.

The solid portions.of a tree, writes B. Schwering, in Farmers’ Voice, is ‘made largely of cellulose, which consists of carbon with hydrogen and oxygen. The tree gets its carbon by taking -carbonic acid from the air, into the leaves. This, under the influence of light, air and ‘water, is decomposed. {o Oxygen is thrown out and the remaining carbon forms compounds such as starch, ‘sugar, ete., by combining with elements taken from the water. These compounds, which are used as food matter, pass downward through the.- tree to the very tips of its roots, making new wood all along. . : This process of food preparation can be carried on only in the green parts which are exposed to light and air. Therefore, the more foliage and light a tree has, the quicker will it grow. The leaf and root systems are both dependent upon each other, for the roots need the food prepared by the leaves just as the leaves require the water sent up by the roots. A leaf consists of cells, lying closely together and covered by a sack known as the epidermis. Between the cells are small spaces' known as intercellular spaces. The epidermis has minute openings which open into the intercellular spaces, allowing the air and other gases to come in contact with the cells. These cells take carbon dioxide .and give up oxygen. As oxygen is the gas which we need in breathing, and carbon dioxide the poison which we breathe out, it can readily be seen that every plant or tree is an important factor in the health of plants and animals,

A DURABLE PLANT LABEL. One Which Will Withstand the Action of the Elements. A necessity in gé.rdening is a plant label and the best one I have found is made from sections of lath as shown in the accompanying illustration, D ‘I \ || ‘ | \ \ . ¢ Durable Plant Label. writes a correspondent of Prairls Farmer. The cover is fastened with a single clinched brad or shingle nail, so it will swing. It is qplck]y and easily made and only the part pro tecting the name need be smooth, The name may be written in pencil or the printed name from the seed envelope may be glued on. The markers may be used many seasons, gluing fresh names over, or erasing and rewriting. ; o

HOW TO DO THINGS.

One spraying with Bordeaux mixture before the grapes bloom is of more value’ tnan three or four after that.®

. Let the first strawberry runners set and you will get big, strong plants that will set many frult buds before frost. g 3

Watch for the leaf slug on the pear and cherry leaves. Air-slaked lime or dry road dust will quickly rid the leaves of them. ; :

In many of the older fruit sections the most serious enmemy of the orchard is the tree itself. There are far too many of them; so many, in fact, that they are crowding and starving each other. Some must be sacrificed for the good of the ofhers. An easy way to thin fruit is to go over the trees' before blooming time and cut out about two-thirds of the small branches.. This serves two purposes—one to reduce numbers, ,&: other to give greater strength to remaining wood. : -

CHICKEN IN NEW STYLES., Try the Fowl Stewed with Cocoanut or with Dough. : Chicken with Cocoanut.—Stew & chicken and remove the bones. Grate a cocoanut and-cover it with water for ten minutes; strain it and add more water. This again should be strained through a bag of coarse cheesecloth, and the rich liquor resulting—about a pint—added to the chicken. Cook slowly a few minutes and thicken with-two tablespoonfuls of flour mixed smoothly in cold water, gne-half teaspoonful salt, and three teaspoonfuls of tumeric powder. Let all cook up with the chicken, then lay it on a platter surrounded by boiled rice and covered partly with gravy. Chicken Stewed with Dough.—Another method is to mix spices, raisins, salt and butter through some partly boiled rice, and with it dress the chicken, then wrap it in dough rolled pretiy thick and boil it in a cloth, not too tight, for half'a day.

East Indian Pillau of Fowl—For this is required one ghicken, dressed as for boiling, and three cups of rice. Put the fowl in a stewpan with one and a half pints of broth and some spices tied in a bit of muslin. These spices may consist of two cloves, a wide stick of cinnamon, two dozen cardamons, and one-half teaspoonful each of coriander seed, mace, and allspice—quantity and combination regulated to taste. Cook these with the fowl 20 minutes slowly. Place onequarter of a pound of butter in a frying pan with one sliced onion, one dozen raisins, and some blanched almonds; fry till brown and strain. In the butter remaining fry the rice until brown. Strain off the butter, and by degrees add the broth until the rice is tender, then put it with the chicken and <cook until it is nearly dry. -Remove the spices and serve the fowl smothered in the rice, garnishing with the fried raisins and almonds, and, if liked, some hard boiled eggs and crisp slices of bacon. TWO RECIPES FOR EGGS. Beauregard and Japanese Are Both Recommended Dishes. , Beauregard Eggs.—Hard boil flve eggs. Remove- the shells; separate the whites from the yolks. Put the yolks through a sieve; chop the whites fine or put them through a vegetable press. Rub a tablespoon of 'butter and one of flour together; add half a pint of milk and stir until boi¥ng; add half a teaspoonful of salt, a saltspoon of pepper, and the whites of the eggs. Stand this over hot water while you toast five slices. of bread. Arrange them neatly on a platter. Pour over the white mixture, dust ovér this the yolks and a little salt and pepper. Stand a moment at the oven door and after the yolks are warm send to the table.

Japanese Eggs.—Hard boil six eggs and boil carefully one cup of washed rice. When the rice is done drain in a colander and stand in the oven to dry. Remove the shells and cut the eggs into halves crosswise; take out the yolks; rub thin, adding gradually four boneless sardines," half a teaspoonful of salt, a saltspoonful of pepper, and two tablespoonfuls of melted butter or olive oil. Roll the mixture into balls and put into the space from which the yolks are taken. Take off a little of the convex end of the whites so that they will stand. Put the rice in the cepter of a platter, making it flat, like a little plateau. . Stand the eggs down in the rice; pour over them half a pint of cream or tomato sauce and serve. Fa il

That Old Hanl Bone.

This need not be thrown away just because you have taken off all the slices. When you cannot get any more (apparently) scrape every vestige of lean and fat from the bone. Chop fine amd put in a baking dish. Add a layer of bread crumbs, then another layer of the meat, and so on, until all is used. Pour over it° a little water and set in oven till nicely browned. : g @ Even the bone itself need not be thrown away. Crack well and let simmer for three hours. Add some rice, a clove or two, a few celery leaves, (dried or fresh), and any vegetables, raw or cooked, that you happen to have in the pantry. So the ham will have done yet another faithful service, for the combination of the savory soup, and the delicate baked ham, will make an appetizing and wholesome dinner. AR To Clean Velveteen. .. .The method employed to clean light and dark velveteen is a simple one. A lather of white soap is made, into which the velveteen is dipped, then placed on a board or table and scrubbed the way of the pile with a clean nail brush until all dirt has been removed, when it is rinsed in clean cold water, but not squeezed or wrung. as this would spoil the pile. : . It is dried in the air and sometimes the back is drawn over a hot iron, but this is not absolutely necessary. Light velvets are cleaned by gently rubbing with a flannel previously dipped in kerosene; or, if the material be soiled in spots *only, by rubbing with a plece of fat bacon or butter, when the wrong side requires drawing over a hot iron in order to raise the pile.

Sheep’s Tongue with Spinach.

Take six sheep’s tongues, blanch them for five minutes to enable the white skin to be removed, then trim and_put them in a frying pan with about a pint of broth of consomme (which can be bought in tins), one bay leaf, a little thyme, salf and pepper. Set the frying pan over the fire until it comes to the boiling point, then let it simmer until the tongues are well cooked and glazed, take them out, cut them lengthwise in halyes and return them to the frying pan.

Meanwhile dish some spinach, place the pieces of tomgue over the spinach, pour the gravy over and serve immediately. : :

- Mint Sauce. Take three tablespoonfuls of freshly gathered mint, chopped fine; dissolve two tablespoonfyls of sugar in three tablespoonfuls of vinegar; mix all te gether. Serve in sauce boat, . ;

There is only one way to keep bacteria out of milk and that is by way of cleanliness. The milker needs to be clean, the cows need to be wiped off, the milking needs to be done through sterilized cheese cloth, the milk removed from barn at once and cooled and then set where it will not be affected by dust or eodors. ‘

Now you are reaping the fruits of the good wintering of ‘your cows. While your neighbor’s cows which were only, half fed through a mistaken idea of economy are responding but poorly to the green pasturage, your cows have leaped right to the top notch of a splendid milk flow. Makes you feel good, don’t it. And the cows feel good, too. .

The Minnesota experiment station has proved that a dangerous medium in the distribution of tuberculosis is the manure of infected cattle, which, in its dry form, may readily be blown into milk in the stables. The utmost care should be taken to isolate all cattle known to be, or suspected of being, affected with tuberculosis, not only for the safety of human life, but for the welfare of the herd.

Here is a point to remember in caring for your stock next winter. Some recent tests have shown the value of good quarters and plenty of bedding for fattening animals. It was shown that when a steer is standing up he uses from 30 to 50 per cent. more food for making body heat than he does when he is lying down. Provide, plenty of bedding and get the most growth. : 3

. Now do comsider the matter of gending your boy to your state agricultural college. He ought to be a better farmer than you, no matter how successful you have been, and the way to make him so is to put him in a position where he can learn the latest and most scientific agricultural methods. He can get the theoretical knowledge at school and you can keep him evenly balanced by supplying the practical knowledge. i < el ' TFight the weeds with the sprayer. Prof. H. L. Bolley of North Dakota has shown by experiment that certain cheap chemicals like cepperas, also sadt, can be used as & spray on the jyoung weeds so as to kill or retard ithem effectively without fnjury to the igrowing crop. The method is cheap [enough to be employed in grain fields where other methods of control are idlﬂlcult to apply. The tests with this [process have been extensive enough ito show that it is lkely to become 'a permanent method in the grain growing states. The experiment stations score again and-prove once more the wisdom and value of spending pube funds in maintaining them.

Blue grass provides the most satisfactory pasturage as it forms a firm cod not injured by the tramping of the cattle. It is a persistent grower, and it is rich in protein. L -— MR 2

Almost every farmer will find the silo a profitable investment. By its aid you can provide succulent feed for the cows the year round, and thus keep the milk flow up to the top notch all the time. - B

With the coming of warmer weather, and the time of year whern the midday sun is strong, do not forget that the sheep and lambs need shade. It there are no trees in the pasture, provide some kind of shelter. One can be made out of rough boards and thatch roof in the fence corner.

Get the habit! What habit? The habit of doing your farm work on time and according to the most approved methods. In other words get the habit of getting out of the ruts and staying out. The farmer is the most prone to get into habits that are bad and then sticking to them, so that it is hard to believe sometimes that he has any sense at all. Get the habit of getting out of the old bad habits and getting into good new habits.

"Feed the ‘slkim milk, don’t make cheese. Cheese sold off the farm takes more -nitrogen with it than butter, the loss being about one dollar's worth of nitrogen for every 1,000 pounde of milk used. If you sell butter you sell only the butter fat, which has ne particular fertilizing value. If you get your skim milk back and feed it to pigs you save at least 75 per cent. of the fertilizing material in the milk. There can be no objection to making and sefing cheese, however, if the plan of farming includés some means of restoring the nitrogen and phosphates sent out in this way. :

Ringbone that has become firmly established upon a horse’s leg is hard to treat. Firing seems the most satisfactory method, but this should be done by a good veterinarian. In its early stages ringbone may sometimes be cured by proper ‘shoeing which will straighten the foot and relieve the strain which causes the trouble. Ringbone is caused by injury to the tendons of the foot or by blows, sprains, or overworking before the bones have been fully formed and hardened. It is regarded as one of the diseases which may be transmitted by heredity, or, rather, the tendency to it may be transmitted.

Pigs in the clover now mean dollars in the pocket next fall. The clover supplies the young animals with the material out of which to build up a good frame. When clover is fed :n abundance in the form of green, succulent herbage, it is so readily eaten and digested thft it makes it possible to soon begin the feeding of carn to advantage. Ithasheenfound that under such conditions tbe pigs make an economical growth on corn and clover.. A gréat many farmers do not appreciate the value of clover to the growing pigs. If they cannot be pastured on it they should have it cut and brought to them. Alfalfa is of the same general nature and can take the place of clover where it can be grown.

One successful horticulturist tells how he raises fall strawberries. He says: I set fall-bearing varieties in the spring, setting them about one foot apart in the rows, and rows 30 inches apart. I remove all fruit stems up to July 20, also all runners, if any appear. The reason 1 prefer setting in the spring is because most of the plants will send out new roots from the crown, which will not die in August and September, as is the case with fall-set plants. This is very im: portant, as the plants need good, strong roots to mature the large crops they produce. Again, spring-set plants do not have so many leaves at when fall-set, which are apt to get so large and bushy that it interferes with pollenization of the blossoms. Ag to quality of fruft, it is of better flavor that summer beriies.
