New Potato Disease.

About the new disease which has

Agricultural experiment station says:
The differences between this and the
ordinary blight are: First-The spores

Some mystic meaning shimmers Ger
The dewy dinge of the hills
One day OF tranquil life the more
Has passed into oblivions chills.
The silken strands CT tawny light
Stream DER the opalescent lake
And glorify the coming night,
AS loves hopes on my heartstrings break,
Ehis sweet refrain of cheatest rhyme
What is it for? What does it mean?
Such stanzas mystic and sublime
Make the average poem in a magazine.

Poultry for the Farm,

Now and then you meet a man. says
the Farm, Field and Stockman, who
thinks one breed of fowls is as good
as another, or that a hen is hen no
matter what breed, or whether he-
breed is of its own production by in
breeding year after year. Here is a.
letter to an eastern paper from man
IN Tennessee who believes in mixing
breeds, but he sees to it that the
mixing is done by pure cockerels, and
by this means he will have high bred
If not pure bred fowls: He says:
J. have often been, amused at the
way SEINE writer's advocate the merits
OF someEparticular breed of fowls to
the exclusion Of all others. Now after
long experience with all the leading
breeds, [ have given up the idea that
pure breed poultry is the most profit
able on the farm for many reasons.
Experience teaches me that the best
breed for the farm is, the one that is
most profitable under all circum-
srances-none OF your, fancy breeds,
but a happy medium. In other words
for a breed of your own ''get up"
take the common fowls. You can
breed them up to any desired quality
you wish: While they will not be pure
they will be far more healthy, more
profitable, and just as handsome.
1t is interesting to;note the peculiar
characteristics they will develop. I
wish you could see and hear my flock
OF biddies. I would not exchange
them for any pure breed I know OF.
There are so many different strains OF
blood in their little bodies. THAT thev
cannot be still; must be laying eggs or
Matching more little busybody at all
times, except when. changing their
coat OF many colors. The way I ac-
compllshed it was in this way: Ieom-
menced with twenty common hens
and pure game cockerel. | changed
the cockerel every year, and the breed
every two. years; that is, I got pure
bred cockerels Of a; different breed
from any that I have had every two
years. 1 treat turkeys in the same
way.
Interesting Farm Statistics.
According to. the census returns
farm lands in Massachusetts,, Connec-
ticut, Rhode Island, New York, Penn
sylvania, New Jersey, Ohio and
Michigan, are practically of equal
value and are rated from $33. "a to
$65.l6 per acre: The next in value
are Indiana, Illinois. and Wisconsin,
valued at $23.3O to, $50: So per acre.
Following these comes Iowa, Colora-
do, Utah, and California, valued at
$22.92 to $25.62, per acre. Then
follow Virginia, West Virginia, North
Carolina, Kentucky. Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi; louisiana, Arkansas, Miss
ouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota,
Dakota. Wyoming, Montana, New
Mexlco, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho,
Oregon and Washington at $3.50 to
$l4.45' per acre: Census statistics
further show that ia 1890 there were
in the. United States 1908, GOT farms,
74.5 per cent OF whicb were cultivated
by the owners, S per cent by tenants
who paid money rental, and IT'S per
cent by tenants Oh shares. Illinois
had the greatest number OF farms, viz:
255, 411; Ohio. comes next with 247,-
1S9; New York had 241,O5S, and
Pennsylvania 213, 542. Arizona had
only 1871 and Nevada 1,4O4.

ing vines to the tubers, causing them
to rot. No rotting OF the tubers is
caused by the new disease. Second
The true blight or crust" attacks
later potatoes the worst. The "new
disease 8 confined to early potatoes.
Third the true blight or crust" can
be checked by spraying with the Bor-
deaux mixture The new disease is
not as easily checked by such spray
Ing. Practically, everything in the
way OF diseased potato leaves, has
been the 1'new disease" This is everv-
where on early potatoes, SO far as we
can learn. The diseased plants appear
sickly and of yellowish cast instead
OF a dark, healthy green. Soon the
leaves turn yellow and die The
death begins on uninjured leaves
about the tip and edges and they.
die rather slowly, so that they become
crisp and curl at the tip and edges as
the disease progresses. The trouble
IS worse on leaves partially eaten by
potato bugs and other insects. When
ever one is injured, the disease attacks
1T and spreads from these spots.
Thus a leaf may show score or more
OF black spots varying in size from
pin head to a marble. In some fields
OF early potatoes all are dead or dy-
ing. Very few potato growers will
mistake the true blight or trust"
when they see it. This disease is COM
mencing to show on later potatoes.
The large blueish- black spots appear
at any place. These spread so rapid
ly that the whole leaf is killed in g.
day or two. There is not time for it
to dry and curl, but it hangs limp and
rotting from the stem. The surest
evidence of the blight as distinguish
ed from the new disease is the pres
ence Of the mildew which causes the
blight. It can easily be seen on the
under side OF the rapidly b,ighting
leaves as a delicate white mildew
which looks like frost-work upon or
about the edges of the black spots.

Next Tuesday the voters of Burleigh
county will be called upon to select a super
intendent of schools for the ensuing term.
The candidates are w. L. Perkins and f.
e. Rawlings. Both are good men, but
there exists no good reason why Mr.. Per-
kins. the present incumbent should not be
reelected. The experience of one term
has best fitted him for another and that
he has made thorough, practical and
conscientious superintendent is not denied.
He has taken deep interest i'll educational
matters and assisted materially in raising
the standard and efficiency of the country
schools of this county. His relations with
selection of man for this position the
prejudice or politics. Il x This
seems to be- a year of gratitude, year
when public officials who have performed
their duties well shall be again endorsed
by the people. The ball was set rolling
at Minneapolis y d To the peo
pie of Burleigh county who have children
to educate and property owners who have
taxes to pay, the election of county super
intendent of schools is nearly of rs great
importance as that of November next to
fill the national executive chair. Mr.. Per-
kins ought to be reelected, not by mere
handful of votes. but an overwhelming
majority. Mr.. Perkins administration
has been such as to bring forth the warmest
cOmmendation from local teachers, the
state department and others interested in
educational work and every vote cast for
him next Tuesday will be simply reward
of merit.-Bismarck Tribune.

Among other interesting features of the
OCCASION to which the people will be treat

the young folks and carry the older ones
back in memory to the days of their child

bright and strong in the breast of every
American citizen.
It is hoped that the people from every
part of the county will so arrange their
affairs that they can be present on that
occasion ard help make the celebration a
succeSS.
