ly watched every point of the plain.
He knew that he had a tricky, shrewd,
but at the same time bold, enemy in
that willy Apache. He felt sure that
the Indian, especially in the second
case, had not crept upon his victim un-
observed. He must have employed
some disguise which had completely
| deceived the sentinel. What was this
disguise?
"That Apache would be more apt to
betray himself if he thought me asleep
than he would If he saw was watch
ing him." was his sound argument.
Through the long hours of the night
he sat motionless. 1t was two o'clock
when suddenly he caught sight of q
moving object on the plain some dis
lance away. Noiselessly he cooked his
rifle. He was dead shot, and woe be
to that object when he fired. Nearer
and nearer it came while he sat as
if asleep
"Why, it is Corporal" he suddenly
exclaimed.
Corporal was a fine, large Newfound-
land dog, pet of the garrison, which
had mysteriously disappeared from the
post two weeks before and which
everyone supposed to have been stolen.
Rogers first impulse was to call the
dog, when he remembered his resolu-
tion-''shoot any moving object that
comes within range" He therefore re-
strained his impulse, and no one would
have guessed that the apparently
sleeping sentinel was closely watch
ing every movement as the dog ap-
preached.
1t was a lucky idea of Rogers to
feign sleep, for as the dog came nearer
he thought he noticed something
peculiar in its appearance, and its &C.
tions did not seem quite natural.
Possibly Corporal may be exhaust
ed from hunger, or it may be the de-
ceptive light Of the moon," thought
Rogers. The dog was now within
range, and he could hesitate no longer.
cts a matter of life and DEATH" he
reflected, land if l make mistake
everyone, even Corporal himself, will
forgive me-"
Slowly and imperceptibly he brought
his rifle to his shoulder, short but
true aim, crack and a yell-such as
only an Apache who has received his
death wound can give-startled the
whole garrison.
AS if by magic everyone collected on
the spot, each as he approached evil
IDENTITY expecting to see a repetition of
the tragedies.
The story was soon told. The skin of
poor Corporal had been used as dis
guise by the Apache, who, with bow in

germs of scab on their surfaces In this
latter case and whenever potatoes are
bought without knowing their history,
they should be scrubbed in trough
with broom in running water until
the eyes are clean and free from dirt,
or, what is better yet, they may be
treated with corrosive sublinatc as
recommended in the next paragraph.
Scabby potatoes may be safely used
for seed, provided they are first treated
with corrosive sublimate as follows:
Purchase of a druggist two ounces of
fnely-powdered corrosive sublimate
mercuric bichloride), put all of it in
wooden vessel and pour on it two gall
Ions of hot water and allow it to stand
until dissolved. Place thirteen gal
Ions of water in barrel and then add
to it all of the two gallons of water
containing the corrosive sublima tie.
Allow this to stand several hours, dur
ing which time it should be stirred oc.
casionally. Select as fair seed pota-
toes as possible, wash them clean, put
them in coarse sacks, and ilnmerse
them in the material for about ninety
minutes, which is long enough to kill
the scab germs and not hurt the pota-
toes. The potatoes may be cut before
or after soaking. If potatoes are
treated in this way and then planted on
land that is free from the scab, the
crop will be free from scab. The cost
of this treatment is a mere trifie and
need not exceed one cent per gallon
for the solution used. In using cor
rosive sublimate, it should be remem-
bered that it is deadly poison if
taken internally, and consequently
great care should be taken with it and
with the potatoes that have been
soaked in it.-Samuel B. Green, in
Prairie Farmer.

TIE FARMING, WOl}I,D ,.
SCAB in POTATOES.

Parasitic Fungous Pant That Lives In
the Skin.
The cause of potato scab is minute
parasitic dungeons plant that lives in
the skin of the potato. It's growth
there produces an irritation which in
duces the healthy cells to start an extra
growth to repair the damage done by
the fungus. This growth, which takes
place under the diseased surface skin,
pushes it up, thus rupturing the cells
and forming the rough surface which
we call ''scab" of potatoes. The germs
OF the scab are very tenacious of life
and may live for at least three years
In the ground after the potatoes have
ceased to be cultivated on it, and may,
during this time, start the disease in
clean, healthy tubers planted in it.
They live one winter also on scabbv
potatoes. If scabby potatoes are fed
to stock the germs of the scab pass un-
injured through the animal and live
for long time in the manure, and the
use OF such manure is prolific cause
of scab, and may even be the means
by which the disease is introduced
into land that has never grown pota-
toes.
Scabby potatoes will generally pro-
duce sc abby crop, whether they are
planted on new or old land; but the
amount of the disease will generally
be much larger on the old than on the
new potato land.
Land infested by the germs of the
scab will produce more or less scab-
by crop of potatoes, no matter how
clean the seed used, but the amount of
it will depend partly on the climatic
conditions. The scab will grow on POI
tatoes that are left in the ground even
after the tops die. and on this account
when they are scabby, potatoes should
be dug as soon as ripe.
If perfectly clean seed is used on
land that is free from the scab fungus,
no matter what the season, it will pro-
duce clean crop. But, apparently,
clean seed potatoes have been picked
out from a scabby lot and so have the
