Potato Rot and Its Prevention.

Assistant Hortculturist H. P. Gould
OF the Maine State College, writing for
the November bulletin of the State board.
says;
In complying with request from
the secretary to give brief statement
regarding the work at the Maine expert
mens station the past season on spray ing
potatoes | submit the following review Of
our work along that line.
The points under consideration were
the efficiency of Bordeaux mixture and
fungiroid in preventing potato rot.
In explanation, l will say that the
latter fungicide (fungiroid) Is claimed to
be simply Bordeaux mixture in pow
dered form
The plot of potatoes which entered into
the experiment was planted very late so
that the first application of fungicides
was not made until july 18th. To
other applications were subsequently made
at intervals of about two weeks. 1t is
usually recommended that four or five
applications be made at intervals of ten
days but on account of the dry weather
it was not considered necessary to make
but three applications.
There were eighteen rows in the plot
used for this work. The first row was
sprayed with Bordeaux mixture; fungi
roid was applied to the second, while he
third was left untreatcd to serve as a
check, and SO on throughout the plot
every third row in order receiving the
treatment described above, making six
rows sprayed with Bordeaux mixture, six
treated with fungiroid and an equal
number which received no treatment
Below is given a summary of each Of
the six rows:

WAS ONCE a SOCIETY QUEEN.
Mrs. Hicks-Lord Now Lives In Quiet Re
tirement In New York.


tirement In New York.
A few years ago the name of Mrs. Hicks
Lord had greater potency in tho fashiuna-
bic life of New York than that of q Van
derbilt or an Aston. Today it is but Il mem
ory.
The erstwhiio social queen lives IN a
big, gloomy house looking out upon Wash
ington square from tho west side, ending
her days in seclusion which is almost
hermitlike.
AS recently as nine years ago she gavo a
reception, at which 5000 fashionables
fought and scrambled for an opportunity
to pay their respects to the beautiful host
css.
For years she has been an invalid and
now rarely secs any Of tho hundreds who
used to crowd her spacious home when she
was in the heyday of her society success.
The swarms Of fashionable moths have
found other lights around which to tlut-
ter.
a few years ago her house was entered
by burglars. They did not get much
booty, but ever since then Mrs. Hicks.
Lord has lived in terror of another visit of
tho same kind. Most of her jewels are
kept in safe storage, but sho keeps
enough in her big house to tempt score
of cracksmen, though often advised to put
them with the Others
Many years ago, while in Rome, she
made tho acquaintance of several leaders
of the Catholic hierarchy. At that time
Mrs. Hicks Lord learned great deal Of
tho teachings of the church. Year by year
her learning in that direction became mole
pronounced, and eventually she bccamc n
convert to the Catholic faith Now she Is
a devout and regular worshiper ut st.
Patrick's cathedral on Fifth avenue.
Two nieces live with her part of the
year. The rest of the time she is surround
ed only by force Of colorcd servants.--

Among the fern lovers most delightful

straying far into uncongcnial ground,

Hotter Than Africa.

Commenting on the great heat expert
enced in central Europe this year in tho
first half of September NJ. Camille Flam-
marion says: "Such heat indeed has never
been known in September since the inven-
ton of the thermometer. Once only, 14S
years ago, in 1747, on Sept. 16, was any
thing like this heat shown, and then only
for one day" A striking feature is that
the temperature has been much higher

How to Wear q Veil.

American women, as a rule, wear wells
that end in sharp line just on the face.
This gives the effect of a wrinkle and
therefore the Frenchwoman avoids that
arrangement. She allows her veil to fall
below the face and in full folds about the
throat All wrinkles are thereby hidden
and even the suggestion of one does not
eyist.

,Julius Cn,ar Liked Lamprev..

Julius Caesar had great penchant for
that whitehall of the Romans, the lamprey.
We find it recorded of him by Suetonius
that, upon the occasion of his first tri-

but our historian does not say whether he
ate them all himself or not, nor even
whether he paid for them
