several of the greater events are often
crowded into one day. For instance,
last Saturday. September 9, the Grand
Army of the Republic held grand
meeting in the fair grounds at the same
time the CalifOrnians were holding
high carnival at their state building.
Another momentous event occurred on
the same day, namely. the dedication OF
the new Liberty bell, which had just
arrived from its birthplace at Troy, n.
Y. where it was made to the order OF the
Daughters of the American Revolution.
The grand army men and the Californ-
ians took an active part in the dedica-
ton of the new bell and the three events
We're combined, making of the day one
of the most memorable periods of the
worlds fair season.
The bell is one of the finest castings
ever made. Not flaw is in the metal
1t is composed of a curious compound
of precious and base metals More
than ten thousand dollars worth of
old gold and silver ornaments, coins
and jewelry were contributed by the
patriotic members of the order. An
old cent which was worth one hundred
dollars from it's historical association
was contributed. The tone is very
sweet because of the quality of the
casting and the metal It weighs six

The POTATO HARVEST.
Saasonable Advice rs to Digging and
Reaping the Tubers.

S~asonable Advice rs to Digging ana
Reaping the Tubers.
One can easily select a time when the
soil is in the right condition to fall right
away from the potatoes when turned up
either with the pillow. potato digger or
fork. BY having q clean crop in this
way the labor of harvesting is greatly
lessened. Potatoes should not be
washed. as rule. Yet they must II
we dig them with the soil adhering to
them. A dirty crop of potatoes will
not keep well.
Sometimes, however. potatoes Will get
muddy from necessity. ard then some
place to keep them while they are
washed should be provided. 1t is not
such an easy job to wash potatoes. for
the mud is only loosened and not
washed off by throwing water over
them. If they are piled up in heap
and then washed with hose for some
time. the tops will be as clean as
whistle. but down toward the bottom
the mud has accumulated.
The easiest way to wash them is to
make temporary lattice work on the
top of four barrels. Lay bean poles
across the four rails. so close that the
potatoes cannot slide through. On top
of this place one bushel of potatoes at a
time and then turn the hose on them.
The water and dirt will drip through
the lattice work to the ground and
leave the potatoes bright and clean. As
fast as cleaned the potatoes should be

before storing. They will dry in very
short time in harvesting seasons They
must not be stored away in a damp.
cold place while wet or the rot will
surely set in.
A good drying and storing place for
potatoes should be provided beforehand
in the barn. A lattice floor should be
made somewhere on the north side of
the barn. and either stretched from
NOW to NOW or constructed on cheap
framework The floor can be made of
bean poles or cheap scantling. The
spaces between the Stats should only be
about an inch. If such a storage place
is provided the potatoes can be placed
there even when they are wet, for the
dry air circulating through them soon
carries away the moisture. All through
the rest of the summer and the early
fall the potatoes can be kept In this
cool place in the best Of condition. Ii
potatoes are to be kept until later in
the winter for sale they will turn out
so per cent. better if cared for in the
summer in this way. All of the mois-
ture is dried out of then. and heat has
no chance to rot them. -Colman's Ru-

Fact. About PYrethrum.

A correspondent is informed that the
destructive element of pyrethrum is a
volatile oil which readily escapes as
soon as the powder comes in contact
with the air. Hence the powder should
not be unnecessarily exposed before it
is used. When it can be used in the
house and the room in which it is used
is tightly closed, it will kill any insect
in the room, flies, mosquitoes, bed bugs,
etc. The room should be closed for
several hours when used for such pur-
pose. When used on plants, OF course,
q great deal of the volatile principle is
lost. but still there is enough that comes
in contact with the insects to kill sew
eral species. 1t is a coed remedy for
lice on live stock. The common cab
bape worm will also succumb to it In

FARM AND GARDEN.
PUBLIC ROADS IN IOWA.

The Subject Discussed by the Governor Of
the Hawkeye State.
COMPARED with the number of our
people and their ability to pay taxes
we have a very large mileage of public
highways, no part of which can be en-
tirely neglected, and our road taxes
collected and expended as they hereto
fore have been are barely sufficient to
keep most of these highways. which
must be used, in a passable condition.
1t is doubtful whether our people are
vet ready to submit to additional bur-
dens in the shape of highway taxes
What then can be done?
This is the practical question.
All will concede that if our road
taxes were paid in money, and judi
ciously expended under the direction
of experts skilled in the art of making
roads. much more could be accom-
plished than is now: but it is doubtful
whether there would be general assent
to plan which would require the pay
ment of all road taxes in money.
Still it is apparent that any system
which will result in the permanent i'm
provement of our highways absolutely
requires a cash fund with which to be-
gin and the oversight of persons skilled
in the art of making roads. Such per-
sons cannot usually be found within
the road districts, and if found could
not afford to spend their time for the
compensation allowed road supervisor.
But upon smooth dry land. devoid OF
engineering difficulties of all kinds,
anyone can construct highway that
will be reasonably passable at any sea-
son of the year, and this part of the
work, covering much the greater part
of the mileage, could in my judgment
be left in charge of local supervisors
and worked out as is now done.
1t is perhaps reasonable to assume
that this would absorb one-half of the
road taxes now levied, and this share
could be paid in work if so desired.
The remainder of the road tax and all

The potato is known botanically as
Solanum tuberosum The common
nightshade, with small white flowers
growing abundantly in shady places, is
also closely related to it. The berries
of this plant are black. and we were all
taught to avoid them as they were
supposed to be very poisonous. In
Kansas, Missouri and the southwest is
prickly, somewhat hoary plant bear
ing yellow flowers. 1t is an extremely
common weed along roadsides, and is
avoided by cattle and farmers fear it.
It is much easier to destroy being an
annual. But like the Russian thistle
in Dakota it has become so common
that the task is a very difficult one, as
it would require concentrated, contin-
ued action everywhere.-Prof. Pam
mel. in Orange Judd Farmer.

THE HORSE NETTlE.
Weed That Is Common in the West
and Southwest.

A Weed That Is Common in the West
and Southwest.
The horse nettle (Solanum Carroll
nense) is well-known troublesome
weed in Illinois, Missouri, Kansas.
southern Iowa, Arkansas and south to
northern Texas 1t is a perennial and
produces long and deep roots, some
times more than three feet. Ordinary
plowing will not kill them, they must
be dug up, but the best plan for their
destruction is to cut the plant off sew
eral inches below the ground. In no
case allow any leaves to appear above
the surface. The leaves are the organs
of the plant in which food is made and
this is stored away abundantly in the
root-stock and roots. This accounts
for some of the extraordinary vitality
of the underground parts. This weed
is close kin of the potato, having vio-
let or white flowers and yellow berries.

AN IOWA ROAD IN SPRING.

Of the bridge tax, if we are TO improve
Upon our present system, must be paid
IN cash with the spring installment of
taxes. This would supply a cash fund,
the first essential to change in our
system.
Then, in every county at least,
a competent engineer would be re-
luired to formulate plans for the con-
struction of roads at all points of diff
Guilty, and this work in my Judgment
should be let to the lowest bidder for
cash. his pay to depend upon the GER
tificate of the engineer that he had
completed the work according to the
plan submitted.
The first object to be attained in the
construction of our highways is a
foundation as nearly perfect as prac-
ticable. To accomplish this in bad
places will require an extensive and
sometimes complicated system of drain
age. None but competent engineers
can prepare the plans for this, and it
will be necessary to confer on the coun-
ties or road districts the power of emf
nent domain so that adjoining lands
may be condemned to enable the dis
trict TO perfect these systems of
drainage.
All bridges should be built under the
supervision of the engineer. and all
money collected for road taxes should
be expended in the district in which it
is collected.
In this way we could at once begin
the proper construction of a permanent
foundation for our wagon roads, which
would, in my Judgment, without ad-
ditional expense. save the salary of an
engineer, greatly improve the present
condition of our highways and at the
same time prepare them for gravel or
naacadam when the country is old
enough and rich enough to complete
the work of converting them into per-
feet roads.-Gov. Horace Boies, in Good
Roads.

pounds Although it is one of the
largest bells of the world, it does not
approach in size that of the enormous
bell at Moscow. which weighs twenty
five thousand pounds. =.
The bell is six feet high and eight
feet in circumference at the mouth. 1t
has bright luster of brassy nature.
There are three inscriptions on it, one
at the top ridge. another in the center
and one at the lower edge. The upper
one reads: GLORY to God in the high
est: on earth good will toward men"
The central inscription is: "A new
command give unto We, that We love
one another" The lower is: proclaim
liberty throughout the land and unto
the inhabitants thereof.
This Columbian liberty and peace
bell is attracting worldwide notice,
and it is indeed a worthy successor of
the old clarion of independence; but it
is not nor never will be regarded with
the same reverence that is lavished on
the decrepit veteran that rung defiance
to the forces of Great Britain, when

TO PREVENT HORNS.
A Method Suggested by the Department
of Agriculture.

OF Agriculture.
Many shrink from the practice of de-
horning who would gladly adopt some
way of preventing the growth of horns.
This can be done with little, if any, suf-
fering to the animal The department
of agriculture suggests a method as
follows: Mix fifty parts caustic soda,
TWENTY-FIVE parts of kerosene oil and
twenty-five parts of water. An emul-
sion is made of the kerosene and soda
by heating and vigorously stirring. and
this is then dissolved in water. The
mixture should then be placed in a
bottle with solid rubber cork. In
applying, the calf should not be over
three weeks old. five to twenty days
being the proper age. With a pair OF
scissors clip the hair around the embryo
horn, exposing a spot about the size OF
a nickel. Hold the calf securely and
drop two or three drops of the mixture
upon the horn, and with the end OF the
rubber cork rub it in thoroughly over
the bare spot Apply the fluid first to
one horn and then the other, until each
horn has been gone over three or Tour
times The rubbing should be contin-
ued until the caustic has softened ana
removed the hair and surface skin I'M

should be taken that the fluid does not
