POTATO sCAB.
The Cause of Potato Scab and the
Remedy

The Cause of Potato. scab and the
Remedy.
It is now generally believed by our
scientists that the chief cause of the
Gcab in potatoes is the bacteroid fun
gus discovered by Thaxter. Hence, if
the germs of the disease upon the seed
tubers are destroyed, by SO much will
liability Of scab on the new crop be
reduced. This is easily done by soak
ing the cut tubers ~ to hours in a so
iution of to 21A ounces of corrosive
sublimate to Is gallons of water, but
even after this is most carefully done,
scab will appear on the tubers grown
IN certain soils and on stable manure.
This subject has received exhaustive
attention at the Rhode Island station
and the results are set forth in Bulle-
tin 33. There, as we'll as elsewhere,
the proportion of scab is two or three
times as large when barnyard manure
is used as on high-grade commercial
fertilizers. Wheeler and Tucker main
tain that upon acid soil the potato scab
fungus is promoted by the presence Of
air-Slaked lime, wood ashes (Which,
like air-slaked lime, consists largely
of carbonate of lime), soda ash (soda
carbonate), and double carbonates of
potash and magneSia, as well as barn
yard manure. Upon the acid soil of
Rhode Island practical immunity from
scab has been secured upon three sue
ceSSive crops when none of the sub
stances just named have been used,
but when these articles were used the
potatoes were scabby. Land plaster
Gypsum or sulphate of lime) is the
only form of lime employed which has
not injured the growth of the crops or
promoted development of scab. Sui
plate of ammonia produced less scab-
by potatoes than nitrate of soda. Com
mon salt Sodium chloride) reduced the
percentage of scab, and since seaWeed
carries much salt, satisfactory eX-
PLANTATION is afforded for the opinion
commonly held that less scab results
from it's use than without it.
1t appears from these experiments
that the character of the soil has a
marked effect upon the degree of scab.
Also that by the use of sulphate Of
ammonia, muriate or Sulphate of pot
ash. kaiLit and common salt, in con-
nection with dissolved phosphate rock,
bone or bOneblack soils which now
tend to produce scabby tubers would
become less favorable to the disease.
It is possible that a rational system Of
rotation of crops, which would include
no beetS or other root crops and no
cabbages amy or all of which may pos
sibly contain or spread scab germs,
would also help to alleviate the condi-
tion on such soils.

Paralysis Follows BIOOdIessness
and Nervous Prostitution.
A PATIENT WOMAN AFFLICTED FOR
YEARS.
She Tells How at Last She Was Per-
Permanently Cured.
From the Press. New York city:

From the Press New York City:
For more than fifteen years, Mrs. A.
Mather, who lives at No. 43 East One
twelfth street, New York, was
sufferer from anaemia, which, in spite of
the treatment of physicians. gradually de-
veloped into nervous prostration until
finally marked symptoms of paralysis set
in. Mrs Mather gladly gave the reporter
her experience
For many years., Mrs. Mather said, 81
was constant sufferer from nervousness.
1t was about fifteen years ago that my
condition began to grow worse. Soon /
became so affected that l was Frustrated
and, until about two years ago, was a part
Of the time unable to leave my bed. l en-
ployed several physicians from time to time,
my bills at the drug store for prescrip-
tions, sometimes, amounting to as much as
500 month, but all the doctors did for
me did not seem to help me at all. My
blood became greatly impoverished and
after years of suffering | was threatened
with paralysis.
"When l walked 1 could scarcely drag
my feet along and at times my knees
would give away that would almost fall
down. Feeling that doctors could not help
me, | had little hope of recovery, until
one day l read in a newspaper how per-
son, afflicted almost the same as | was,
had been cured by Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. | purchased box
and began taking the pills. The effect of
this first box pleased me so much that
bought another Before l had taken all the
pills in the first box l began to experience
relief and, after the third box had been
USED, l was practically cured 1t was really
surprising what a speedy and pronounced
effect the medicine had upon me.
II always keep DR.. Williams Pink Pills
In the house now, and when 1 feel any
symptoms of nervousness, find that they
give me certain relief"
Mrs. Mather's daughter, Miss Anna, cor
roborated her mothers account, and told
how she herself had been cured of chronic
indigestion by these pills; and how, too,
her cousin had been cured of anaemla.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills contain, In
condensed form, all the elements necessary
to give new life and richness to the blood
and restore shattered nerves. They are
also a specific for troubles peculiar to fe-
males, such as suppressions, Irregularities
and all forms of weakness They build up
the blood, and restore the glow Of health
to pale and sallow cheeks. In men they
effect a radical cure in all cases arising
from mental worry, overwork or excesses
of whatever nature. Pink Pills are sold in
boxes never in loose bulk) at SOC box or
six boxes for $3.50, and may be had Of all

Deafness Can Not BE Cured

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There Il
only one way to cure Deafness aud that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by en- infamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

New Yorker has furnished an illus

His description is here reproduced:
All that is needed is an old wheel

q mackeral barrel and four short strips
for branches, used as shown in cut 1.
In the first cut is shown a man just
starting for the orchard where the
pigs are running, with barrel of swill
and the second cut shows the pigs be-
ing fed. Any one studying the cuts
can see how perfect the method is
SO easily made and so handy to use.
The expense is nearly nothing. The
barrel photographed has been in use
for several years and is still employed,
going from the dairy room with the
Skimmilk to the kitchen shed, where
the swill tub is emptied in, and the
barrelful is wheeled into the barn to
the pigpen. In the summer. when the
pigs are shut in the orchard, the bar
