Scab.


A recent number Of the RBrai Neie
Yorker contains an article by II.
L. Bolle illustrated by photographs,
showing the advantage of soaking
the seed tubers in corrosive subli-
mate solution. The author says it has
been demonstrated that the blackened,
pock-marked condition of potatoes, COM
monty spoken of as potato-scab, IS due to
the action of a parasitic cause which not
only originates disease on the tubers, but
also affects the roots and bases of the vines.
The disease is propogated in the new crop
from that on the seed tubers, aud the auth
or claims that, If the tubers are treated
with the substance mentioned, the plants
will be free from the disease.
Photographs are given of potatoes grown
without having the seed tubers treated and
those that were treated The treated seed
yielded seed that were clean and free from
disease. The treatment is easy of applica-
ton and the yield is increased. The seed
tubers were soaked for one and one-hal1
hours in one ne-thousandth solution OF
corrosive sublimate. The author claims
that the ordinary method of spraying the
vines is simply waste of energy, as the
inception of the disease is from below.

swee, VS.. Sour Cream fer Butter.


The relative merits of sweet cream and
sour cream for making butter were tested
last year in a series of elaborate expert
ments at the Iowa Agricultural College.
Sweet cream, fresh from the separator,
was thoroughly mixed and then accurately
divided in two equal parts by weight; one
of these parts was churned Immediately at
81 degrees F., the other was ripened at 90
degrees, and then churned at SO degrees.
The buttermilk was tested for fat, and the
butter was analysed. In the nine tests the
yield of butter from sour cream was three
per cent larger than from sweet cream.
The sour cream usually churned quicker
than the sweet, and the butter contained
2-100 of 1 per cent more casein. The loss
es of the fat in churning, washing and
working were less with sour th-A with
sweet cream, In nine trials the average
difference was nearly half pound per 100
pounds of butter made. After being kept
five months the sweet cream butter ac-
quired somewhat of the flavor and aroma
of ripened cream butter, and was in better
condition.

THE CITIZEN
The Land of Contraries.

Nearly all the older writer's, especially
Heylin, Goering, Menlin, Vaudeville and
the two Herriotts, frequently refer to
China as "the land of contrarities" and
"the land of opposites." These names
seem to have been we'll applied, for. ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Press, it is a
well known fact that the people of the Gel
estial Empire do nearly everything con-
trary to the way in which it is done in 9TH
er parts of the world. Here are lew
striking illustrations.
We shake hands with each other, the
Chinaman shakes hands with himself.
We uncover the head as mark OF respect,
the Chinaman not only remains with head
covering in place, but removes his shoes II
be wishes to appear very, very polite. We
shave the face, they the head; we cut the
nails of the fingers, they consider it nltra-
aristocratic to let them grow sew eral inches
in length. The Chinaman not only wears
his shirt outside of his trousers, but whit
ems his shoes instead of blackening them.
We bury in the earth, they on the surface;
and white is their badge of mourning. In
''the land of opposites" it is the old men
who fly kites, walk on stills, play marbles
and shoot fire crackers. With US the right
hand is the place of honor; with them it is
the left. We live, cook and eat on the
ground floor and sleep upstairs; with this
contrary nation the reverse is the general
rule.
In dainty letters we write the year last;
they place it first. We pay our doctors
when we are sick; they pay as long as they
remain well, but as soon as they fall sick
the pay stops. Here men kill their enc
mics; Chinaman gets revenge by killing
himself A full hundred things could be
mentioned which they do opposite to the
manner in which it is done in other parts
of the world however, | will close this
"curiosium" by adding that they launch
ships sideways, ring bells from the outside
of the building, and actually turn screws
in contrary direction.

White Soap.

An excellent soap for washing fannels,
ginghams of delicate colors or any wash
able material requiring care can be made
at the expense of few cents and little
economy on the part of the housekeeper.
Take three pounds of new unslacked lime
and six pounds of washing soda. Pour
over this five gallons OF boiling water
Stir until the soda is all dissolved. Let it
stand until it becomes perfectly clear,
then pour off the clear liquid. Add to it
six pounds of clean fat (saved from the
cooking) and one cup of salt. Boil for
three hours. Take little out in a saucer
and if it hardens pour the mixture into a
wooden tub, and when cold cut into bars.
1t will soon cure and be as white and firm
as CASTLE soap.

PURE WHISKEY

is extremely difficult to obtain. In this
age of adulteration and imitation the only
way to be guided in the purchase of any
article where absolute purity is necessary
is to buy from a house whose reputation
for handling the best goods at the least
money has been firmly established. Such
a house is that of Max Klein, of Allegheny,
Pa. His Silver Age and Duquesne Rye
Whiskies, at $3.50 and $1.25 respectively,
are recognized as the leading Ryes on the
market. For $500 bill he will send you

Intentionally preserves them. He turns
them under with the plow in the fall be-

Weeds should be destroyed before they

When you visit the big fair at Chicago,
it would be we'll to remember that the
purveyors OF food in that wonderful city on
the lake front have poor conception of
what is fair and reasonable in the matter
of price. Reports from the exposition are
alarming. One facetious correspondent
informs US that egg shells must be return
ed to the waiter, and that functionary ex-
acts fifty cents every time tired visitor
drops fork on the floor. If this thing
continues it will be necessary to fill ones
pockets with old fashioned ginger snaps
and other delicasies before starting toward
the windy city. Seriously, however, the
charging of extortionate prices has assum-
ed such proportions as to call for action bv

down on the restaurant people yesterday.

ed to formulate fall scedules of prices i'm
