The TOTAL he was proud and stiff
In his military clothes,
And kept jug of kalydor
To polish up his nose;
1t was that self-same kaIydor
That put the devil in US four.
When lie was deep in slumber
We crept into his tent;
The time, n little after TWO,
Yet cautiously we went.
The jug we took, in PRIME Of that
We left the Captains coat and hat.
At morn he woke, for "kslyn reached,
But found the bird had flown;
He ripped, ne swore, his hair he tore
His darling jug was gone.
As through the camp he wildly passed
He found me busy as a LAST.
He looked into my dropping eyes;
He gnzed upon my nose;
He shifted the fragrance of my breath
And then in wrath he rose.
He seized me while he cursed and swore
That had "scoffed" his kaiydor.

Potato seab is q germ disease. 1t is caused
by minute plant growing upon the surface of
the growing tubers. The disease has its in
ception upon the new crop through the germi-
nation of spores (seedsl which were originally
developed in the scabs upon the old last years
potatoes If these spores are all destroyed
upon the seed tubers, and none are in the
soil, the new product will be void of the dis
ease.
If the disease is to be avoided, prevented,
the following points must be remembered, and
action governed accordingly. 1st. The spores
of the scab-prOducng plant upon the potatoes
used for seed purposes must be destroyed. I'd.
These germ-free seed tubers must then be
planted upon soil that has not been con-
taminated, infected, by the disease.
Dissolve corrosive sublimate (biehloride Of
mercury in water at the rate of two and one
fourth ounces of the chemical to 10 gallons of
water Immerse all potatoes to be used for
seed purposes in this solution one and one-hslf
hours, after which they may be cut and planted
as usual
Corrosive sublimats is strong poison; great
care should be taken that none of it is taken in
the stomach.
To insure rapid solution all the chemical may
conveniently be dissolved in few gallons OF
hot water.
This chemical corrodes metallic substances,
and should thus be mixed in wooden vessels.
A large barrel or hOgshead will be found =
convenient vessel in which to dip the potatoes.
A loosely woven sack (cofee-sack) will be
found suitable for the dipping purposes.
If the potatoes are very dirty it will be
found expedient to wash them before treat
ment.
After dipping spread the potatoes about 50
that they will dry quickly.
The terminating powers of unsprouted pota-
toes is not injured in the least by this treat
ment The range between the point at which
the scab parasite is destroyed and that at which
the terminating capabilities of the eyes of the
potatoes are lessened is wide; so that no fears
need be entertained upon this score.
The chemical may be had in chrystaline form
at any drug store at about 10 cents per ounce.

OUR RURAL TOPICS.
Some Practical Suggestions for Our
Agricultural Readers

Mr. F. E. Emery, the Agricuiturist at the
North Carolina Experiment Station, gives the
following directions for buiIdiuga silo: Plant
your corn just as you would to make crop Of
grain. Cut it up and put in the slO when the
kernels are well glazed; that is while the stalks
and most of the leaves are still green and the
kernels are beginning to harden. You can count
40 or so pounds per day for mature animal,
COW or mule, which would be 1900 pounds per
animal from November 1 to May l. -Four ami
mails would eat 36. 600 pounds. There will neces-
ssrily be some waste, and you may want to feed
another COW, SO We will raise this amount to
70 tons. At p pounds per cubic feet, this viii
require 1000 cubic feet. Ten feet square and
20 feet high will be good form. Perhaps you
can get out the timber needed for the walls and
roof, and need to buy only the boards, sheath
ing. nails, doors, and hinges, and a window for
the gable opposite the door.
If you have a side hill convenient to your
stable you can put your silo into it, so as to iu
from above to good advantage. Make q firm
base with a good foundation. 1 would use
some cement to make tight bottom lin dry
place well-rammed clay will do as well), and
lay the stills, which may be of IO-inch
plank, doubled and spiked together, in fresh
cement.
A bill Of lumber sufficient TO build a siio
would be as follows.

Suggestions.

l. The asking of blessing at the table is a
cusom which, while il is recognition Of God
as the Author Of all our blessings is also useful
domestic practice 1t gives orderliness at a
meal. device has been suggested, as a sub
stitute by persons not given to Christian usages
to wit, that some two three gems of literature
from book prepared for the purpose be read as
an introduction to meal. We notice our Savior
always said grace before eating. If excusable
at any time it was in the circumstances in
which st. Paul found himself Had all asso-
ciates been Christians he might have omitted,
but to ask a blessing when seemingly the only
Christian present of nearly 300 persons was
quite sublime.
g Due care for the physical is an obligation
when a severe struggle requiring great bodily
endurance is before one. Before travelling,
working, ETC., it is we'll to take refreshment
Health demands such precaut ion.
g. Due attention should be given to the COM
fort of prisoners. We do not get outside Of
the realm of ethics when we come to deal with
persons accused even those convicted of
crime Be like Julius. He might we'll be held
the patron saint of prisoners. How to deal
with criminal classes is one of the great practi-
cal questions of our day. Great advance has
been made in this science. Christianity has
play here.
H. Cultivate the principle of obedience All
did as st. Paul directed. Thus there was unity.
There must be some one recognized head, and
Heeu 'hust DC given 10 the one
s. Mere belief is nothing far as success
goes. The question is, Whom do we believe?
| (See V. H. Julius believed the wrong person,
and things went against him. A true faith at
| that time would have saved much trouble.
q. BE hopeful, cheerful. So To succeed one
must be IN good spirits. What society wants is
inspiration. Men are in demand who can giv
courage in emergencies.
z. Encourage the fatigued, frightened. Use
| Gods promises to that end. Tell what God
says. "A. Assurances from heaven are very
comforting. The Bible is great help because
| 1T explains Gods purposes and holds out great
| inducements to those struggling with difficult
| ties of all sorts.
q. Prayer IN storms at sea is in place. Even
| those unused to prayer seem instinctivey to
| seek this aid when dangers beset them. The
| Episcopal Church has a form of prayer to be
used q" For person or persons going to sea"
20 Eternal God, who alone spreadest out the
| heavens and ralest the raging of the seas We
| commend to thy Almighty protection, thy
| servant for whose preservation on the great
| deep cur prayers desired. Guard him, we
beseech thee, from the dangers of the sea, from
| sickness from the violence of enemies and
| from every evil to which he may be exposed.
| Conduct him in safety to the haven where he
would be, with grateful sense of thy mercies,
| through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen"
This is used by persons who have friends
In sea voyages
g. We must do orr part conditional to Gods
help. Life was assured to all who sailed with
