Cutting Potato Seed.

We do not approve Of using small po-
tatoes for seed. Neither do we approve
Of using one eye pieces. It seems to us
that what is needed is to give the start
ing shoots sufficient nourishment from
the seed pieces until the shoots, through
their own rootlets, a support them
selves. Just why we oppose the use OF
small potatoes for seed we cannot say,
further than that we have uniformly OBJ
tanned smaller crops from their use than
from large potatoes cut to two or three
ewes or more. Rural New Yorker.
Potatoes for vine blight and rot should
be SPRAYED at least four times with bor-
ieaux mixture and paris green

U INSECTICIDES.
Two Glasses, Those That Poison and Those
Tina XIII by Contact.

Two Glasses, Those That Poison and Those
That Kill by Contact.
insecticides are of two kinds or class
es-those which kill by poisoning and
those which kill by contact, killing Ell
Their by irritation or by smothering. The
unpatented remedies Of the first class
are: Paris green, arsenite of copper,
london purple, arsenite Of lime and
gypsine or arsenate Of lead. These are
sometimes spoken of as the arsenites.
They can be used in dry powder form
or with water. When used in powder
form they should be mixed with flour,
road dust or land plaster at the rate Of
| part Of the poison to 10 or 20 parts
Of -four or plaster.
FOR WATER MIxrUREs.
Paris green or london PURPLE. | pound
Llme unsiaKed. 10 POUNDS
Water ito make. ......"........... 100 gallons
Stake the lime and add to the paris
green with sufficient water to make 100
gallons.
For cabbage insects it is best to use
the arsenites in water. Milk of lime
should be made from water Stacked lime.
The lime not only prevents any injury
to the foliage, but also aids in making
the poison adhere to it.
Gypsene is a remedy used by the gyp-
sy moth commission, but needs to be
tested further before being recommended
for general use.
The principle insecticides of the Sec
ond class are kerosene washes, rosin
wash, b~isulphide Of carbon, tobacco and
hot water. Kerosene washes are of two
sorts, and the formulas are usually Civ
EN- for stock solutions. These are, first
KEROSENE AND soAP EMULSION.
Kerosene. 2 gallons
Doap,'....:;.. y pound
water 1 gallon
The soap shouli be dissolved by boil
ing, Remove from the stove and while
hot add the kerosene. Agitate the mix
ture by churning OF otherwise until it
has the consistency Of cream. Second:
EMULSION OF KEROSENE AND MILK.
Kerosene. y gallons
Sour ! gallon
This simply requires churning with
out heat. The second emulsion will not
keep long.
These stock solutions should be di-
luted with 10 to 30 parts water when
used. depending on the susceptibility Of
the foliage to injury from the emulsion
and the kind Of insects to be treated
The soap emulsion becomes hard by
standing and should be dissolved in a
little. hot water when wanted for use.
Care should always be used not 10 have
free oil in any Of the emulsions.
The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1895-05-11

The rosin and caustic soda should be
finely broken up to help in dissolving
them. Put in an iron kettle with the
fish oil and water enough added to COW
er the whole. The boiling should be
continued from one to two hours, or I'M
til the compound will mix with water
without forming yellowish fakes.
Omitting a few special cases, insects
which feed on plants may be divided into
two groups-viz, biting or gnawing in
sects and sucking or pumping insects.
For the first group, or biting insects,
only the first class of remedies are prac-
teal For the second group, or suctoria'
insects, only the second class Of insecti-
cides can be used.

TWENTY-NINE.
Tennessee Miners 0vertaken by a
Horrible Catastrophe.
GAS INSPECTORS CARELESSNESs
Responsible For the Explosion
and Entombment.

CHATTANOOGA. Dec 81. - Twenty.nine
miners lost their lives yesterday In the
Nelson mine, near Dayton, by an explo-
sion Of flredamp. The explosion was sue
ceedcd by a terrific crash, which indicated
that the roof of the passage, through
which they had entered, had fallen in.
No avenue of escape was left.
The men, both white and colored, In
Guiding several boys, entered the mine to
go to work at o'clock yesterday morn
ing, but nothing of the awful catastrophe
was known until III o'clock, when the
drivers at entry No. 10 found their way
blocked by a solid wall of coal and slate.
The Nelson mine has been worked for
12 years or more, and the entry where the
unfortunate miners are entombed ran
back more than two miles from the mouth
of the mine. The mine Is of the kind
common In southern coalflelds, known as
drift, or level-vened mine, worked In the
direction Of the vein, straight into the
face of the mountain, but before the entry
Is reached long slope extends to level
several hundred yards below at an angle
or about 70 degrees. Tbs cars are pulled
up from the foot OF the slope, where tram
cars, drawn by mules, connect with them
outside by cable, which haul the coal up
with remarkable rapidity.
Hsartrsnding Scenes OF Despair.
Rescuina parties worked all day like
grim death. The foul air quickly ex-
hausted the workers. who were relieved
by fresh hands. At the drift mouth hum
dreds of women and children soon gath
cred, and pictured their grief aud despair
in heartrending tones.
As the mine Is ventilated by air shafts,
or passages, the caving-in Of the wall in
the entry cut off the draught. and death
was certain 10 those who breathed the
poisoned air.
At o'clock way had been broken
through the debris in the passage Of entry
No. ~, and the blackened corpses Of tho
dead miners were carried to the outside,
where the work Of Identification began.
The number of victims, first reported AZ
"a, reached 90 Life had long been extinct
In all the poor remains OF humanity
stretched at the mouth of tho tunnel.
1t is reported that the gas was first
ignited in No. Q by Tom Hawkins, gas in
spector, on his usual morning round Of
the mines. The flames were rapidly COM
municated to entry No. 10 by means Of
side passages. All the men Mt work in en-
try No. escaped, except Hawkins. In No.
10, which forms an angle in the banks
and connects with the outside world at
the foot of tho lower slope, the deadly gus
drifted and congested, doing its work so
well that not one of the men in the rooms
of this cross passage is alive to tell the
story

Sun-stroke-Its Causes, Symptoms,
and Treatment.
Written for the Citizen,}

Sunstroke is that complex of symp-
toms occurring in persons exposed to
extreme heat under unfavorable cir
cumstances. Sunstroke generally re-
suits from exposure to heat, in persons
who are either exhausted by physical
or mental labor. Workmen, soldiers
on the march, stokers and cab drivers
or brain workers, and those who are
suffering anxiety o. mental distress
are more liable to be overcome by heat
Hot, wet, muggy days-our August
dog-days-are the most favorable for its
occurrence. Acclimatization has very
much to do with its development.
In Dakota, men can walk all day ex-
posed to the sun, when the tempera-
ture of the air is at least l4Oo to 1902
F., while in New York on a cloudy
wet day in August, with the tempera-
ture at only $50 F., large numbers of
men aud animals are Frustrated. The
vigorous thin, healthy individual,
who leads temperate aud regular
life, seldom suffers from heat; while
those who drink freely of alcoholic
beverages and dissipate during the
summer months are those that most
commonly suffer. Large numbers are
affected just after eating hearty meal.
Symptoms: The majority of cases oc-
ours in the middle Of the day. In
mild cases the patient suddenly be.
comes exhausted, probably faints or
becomes semi-comatose. He is utterly
Frustrated; the skin is pale, cold and
moist, the pulse Is quick and feeble,
various colored spots appear before the
eyes and all kinds of symptoms are re-
ferred to the head-toating, swimming
vertigo, tulness, neuralgic pains, etc.
These cases may recover or collapse,
may terminate fatally from heart fail.
ure. Nearly One-half of the cases of
sunstroke, except mild cases, termi-
nate fatally. Many who recover are
invalids for Life.
Treatment: In all cases the patient
must have absolute rest and plenty of
cool, fresh air. The more the patients
are carried about the worse their
chances. All tight or needless cloth.
ing should at once be removed. Slim.
ulants are often necessary; if they ex.
cite vomiting they should be given
hypodermically or as enemata.
Either musk, carbonate of ammonia.
turpentine, ETC., are recommended. In
most cases, the cold water treatment is
the pest. The patient should be taken
10 the nearest pump stream or water
TANK and immersed for a considerable
time, or a stream of water should be
poured over the head, neck and face.
A patient must always be removed be-
lore the temperature falls to normal.
