Hollow Hearted Potatoes.

"a
"What causes hollow heart in pota'
tocs?' This query was recently answer
cd by a number of agricultural author.
tiles in the columns of the Rural New
Yorker. A large percentage of their
correspondents admitted that they did
not know, but each expressed opinions,
both regarding the II and the pre-.
vention. Prof. L. II. Bailey said that
he had always supposed hollow heart
to be due mostly to overgrowth. al
though some varieties are more subject
to it than others. He thought that firm
fleshed varieties of medium size, grown
on soil only moderately rich in nitro
gen, would be most free from the
trouble. DIR. w. c. Sturgis of Connec-
ticut station named as the cause of hol-
low heart Pytophora infcstans, a po.
tato rot fungus. lie said nothing but
absolutely sound seed should ever be
used. 1t is not a peculiar characteristic
of certain varieties, though, as a rule,
early varieties are less liable to attack.
DIR. Sturgis doubted the acce pied
theory that there is greater frequency
of hollow heart in large than in small
potatoes. DIR. Byron d. Halsted did
not know the cause nor the reason
why large potatoes are oftcncr hollow
hearted than small ones. lie thought
probably large tubers were ~oftenest
affected because the excess in size per-
mits all this absence of tissue at the
center, not altogether for the same
reason that q large tree is often hol-
low, while q small one of the same
kind has \ sound center. AS to a half
way answer in the matter he sug-
gested that the central portion of a
potato is the most nonliving portion.
it being the storehouse for material to
be used by the young buds when they
unfold, these buds and the vital parts
associated with them lying somewhat
midway between the surface of the
ment of a potato we can sec that there
might be 4 cavity developed in the
center by the failure of the sufli-
cient development of storage tissue
to occupy all the space. AS to the
breeding out, it would seem probable
that it could be done to some extent,
tecause anything like hollow heart is
likely to be somewhat 4 matter of in
heritancc-call it a weakness if you
pleasc-and therefore one should use
strong instead of weak seed. Prof. w.
F. Massey hazarded the opinion that
hollow heart is due to an excess of
heterogeneous food in a moist soil
There may be some fungous growth
connected with it, but he can not.
think there is any fungous cause for
it. The potato tuber is the plants
reservoir for the storing Of starch for
the food of the plant another season.
If the excess of nitrogen stimulates
the vital principle of the plant to an
activity in cell formation in advance
of the supply of mineral food needed
for building materials, there is sure to
be a gap somewhere, and usually
where there is greatest activity. He
docs not believe there is any heredity
about it. With an abundant supply
of potash he thinks there would be
little of it. With plenty of nitrogen
and a deficiency of potash there will
be hollow hearts usually.

Milling Qualities Of Wheat.

It has been known for several years
that the wheat most desired by the
miller was a variety which was hard
and finty, because in milling it pro-
duced a -four of superior quality, one
that was especially liked by the bakers
and consumers, says a Nebraska bulle-
tin. The former desired a flour that
would produce a greater number of
loaves of bread of good quality. This
depended in a great measure upon the
per cent of gluten ian albuminoid COM
pound in the wheat and flour. The
soft wheats contain a large per cent
or proportion Of starch to albumen.
1t therefore often happens that the
variety of wheat which is most profit
able for the baker and the miller to
handle is the very n that is q poor
variety for the farmer to raise, for the
reason that it is not a strong grower
or good yielder. The farmer prefers
to raise wheat that is of a large berry,
that grows strongly and branches or
tillers we'll, and that threshes out the
greatest number of bushels per acre.
This to him is manifestly to his
greatest profit, provided the price
per bushel remains the same; but
the miller can ill afford to buy much
wheat of that character, as it must be
mixed with wheat of harder berry in
order to produce a nice even quality of
frst-class flour. Gibson, in his work
on milling says: "The facilities for
knowing flours r better in the -four
markets than in the mills" The
facilities for examination arc best
where there is the greatest variety of
Hours." Color and strength are the
two cardinal points in -four. If very
white, but of poor strength, or if of
dark color and good, strong flour,
they r equally undesirable from the
bakers standpoint, and so do not sell
well. The strength depends upon the
amount of gluten present. while the
color depends on the amount of foreign
in the flour, i. e., fb-ous
from bran, middlings, etc, to-
with material from the germ of
the wheat. This last makes dark
flour. Again, the fincncss of division
the color. The finer ground
flour, other things being equal, has
the lighter color.

Crown Diamonds.


NJ. Turquet has laid the following
project before the Minister of Finance
and the Budget Committee relative to
the rich collection Of precious stones
known under the official title of "Dia-
mants de la COurOnne." The Under Sec
retaryfOrthe Fine Arts proposes to divide
this treasure into three parts. The first
part will comprise the historic jewels and
stones, and will be placed in the Louvre.
The second part will contain stones hav-
ing n neurological value, and will be
placed in the museum of the Ecole DIES
Mines. The third part, composed Of
royal and imperial jewelry, and having
only a material value. will be put up at
auction and sold to the highest bidder,
and the proceeds will go to form a state
fine-art fund. NJ. Turque thas had
an inventory made of this prince
ly treasure. One of the most famous
of the diamonds is the one called Regent.
1t weighs 1876 c~arats, is of all extreme
wilderness and brilliancy. is square in
form, and was estimated at II, 900, 900
francs in 1871. Another remarkable OBJ
iect is a round pearl, weighing Ov'r
twenty-seven carats and valued at
200, 900 francs ; and still another is the
necklace of pearls, styled Collier lie la
Refine, composed of twenty-five pearls
and worth 996, 700 francs. None of our
mdy readers would, We are sure, disdain
the large, long, clear ruby in this col
lection, weighing fifty-six carats and
valued at $4,000 francs ; o the anne
thyst of more that thirteen carats, esti-
mated at 5000 francs, nor the sapphire
of 132 c~arats, worth 100, 900 francs. BY
the jewels Of the third class, NJ.
Turquet expects to realize the sum Of
OOO, 600 francs, and with it he will pur-
chase works of art and enrich the M
tiOnal Observation-Disclosures.

Washing

Washing Blankets
A sunny, windy day should be Sc
lected, and only one pair washed in
one day. First put the blankets on
the line and shake the dust out of
them. Cut one pound of good soap in
small pieces and toil in two quarts OF
water till dissolved. Add half a pound
of powdered bOraX Fill a tub about
half full of water and add the soap
and bOrax. lie SURF to have the en-
pcraturc of the water the same as hat
of the outside air. This is not a diff
ficult matter, as town water is usually
a little colder than the air in spring
and summer, and only then should
blankets be washed. Press the
blankets down into the water and
avoid rubbing; then let the soap and
boraX do the work-they certainly
will. Let the blankets soak for two
hours, then rinse them thoroughly in
several waters until the rinsing water
looks clear, taking care to have the
rinsing water the same temperature
as the first water and the outside air.
Then without wringing, put the
blankets on the line. DO not stretch
them, and be careful to hang them cx-
actly even, then the color in the stripes
will not run into the white. Although
dripping wet, on a clear day they will
dry IN four or five hours and will be
soft and clear. The wear, not the
washing, will show to a certain ex-
tent, although they will look more
like new ones than they did before
washing. Take in when perfectly dry.
They should not be ironed or pressed.
They will be clean and will smell
sweet. With set tubs the only hard
work is TO get the blankets en- the line
properly, and if some one will lend a
hand" ever this is not very laborious.
WESTERN Corn RcOT-WoEM-Is the
larva of a small green beetle. a near
relative of the striped squash and
vine beetle. The eggs are
laid about the roots Of the 1rn in late
summer and fall and hatch the follow
ing spring o. early supper. If corn
follows corn on the same ground year
after year these worms will continue
to increase and feed on the roots OF
the corn plants. The effect OF these
worms on the roots is to destroy them
and thus wholly or in part destroy the I
crop. A rotation of crops from corH
to any OF the small grains or grasses is
perfect protection.

PASSING along the Central railroad
in New York the present winter we
noticed q great many COW barns with
great unsightly heaps of manure stand
ing under the ave of the barn, says
Gov. Hoard, in his "Dairyman." The
barns, in many instances, were painted
black, as if in mourning, and then in
great yellow letters over it all would
be some patent medicine advertise
ment. We thought at the time that
we had eve e anything more ap-
propriate. When a farmer has dropped
so low in the scale of good farming
as to leave the manure to leach away
under the rain on the roof and SO
low in the scale of good taste as to al
low his farm buildings to be disfgured
in this way, it is eminently proper that
he should advertise to the world that
he is going to take something" The
cows standing out in the cold all
bumped up were In general keeping
with the gone-to-seed appearance of
the whole premises. Patent medicine
will not a such men, however. No
wonder the boys want to leave such
farms. There is neither good brains,
good enterprise. nor decent home taste
exercised in their management. 1t is
almost a wonder that the dog wants to
stay.
DRESS OF SHORT WOMEN Women
who are short must avoid much trim
ming on their skirts, be thew stout or
slender, as they are shorter in proper
ton from the waist to the feet, writes
Emma NJ. Hooper, in an article on
Clowns for the New Year." in the
Ladies' Home Journal. For the same
they must omit wearing large
plaids and designs. All full portions
of the waist must be moderate in size,
as the sleeves, bertha, belt and vest.
The short, wide revers now worn arc
becoming, also round waists and short,
pointed basques. Jacket fronts arc in
good taste, but the umbrella back
basques give a short figure a cut off
appearance, as do tiny capes, while a
close-fitting jacket adds apparently
several inches. Materials must be Sc
lected with q view to making the
wearer look taller.-Ex.
HYDHoPHOEIA l A HOIsE.-Recentl,
. case of h~ydrophobia in a two-year-
old colt was developed on the farm of
Eric Anderson near Nordncss. The
on the farm went out in the
morning and found the colt in the pig
pens chasing the pigs around. In at
tempting to drive the colt out the man
was bitten OF the arm, but luckily the
teeth did not penetrate the skin. only
tore it loose, and it is expected no bad
will follow. The animal ran
all over the place, chasing other stock,
biting itself, and trying to bite tic
others, and acting in other ways as 4
mad dog acts. 1t was allowed to con-
tinue until exhausted in order to see
it in all stages of it's madness, and
fell and died with every symp.
tom of q genuine case of hydrophobia.

Abundant Hair.

Japanese women are very proud Of
their hair, which is black and luxuriant.
They cultivate and arrange it with great
care by brushing their tresses back from
the forehead and gathering them in Il
plated topknot, covered with flowers,
spangles and hairpins of gold, silver and
tO~rtOise-shell. Rich and poor are alike
proud of their couture, and the kuli-
woman in rags devotes the same atten-
ton to her hair as any great lady. To
preserve the elaborate structure from be-
irg disturbed, women during sleep rest
their necks on a padded fork. There is
no difference between single and married
women in wearing their hair, as III
China ; and their respective social status
is indicated by the position of the bow
in which the waist scarf is tied, girls
wearing it at the back, matrons in front.
The latter likewise shave their eye
brows. and dye their teeth black. Girls
use rouge freely, and sometimes gid
their lips. They are all fond of smOk-
ing, and wear their embroidered tobacco
pouches as belt ornaments.
