PREVENT POTATO SCAB.
Care In the Selection of Seed and Land
the Two Prime Requisites.

Care In the Selection of Seed and Land
the Two Prime Requisites.
Experiments relating to potao scab
show that it will infect turnips, beets,
and possibly other root crops, catch
ing from one kind to another. Scabby
seed will produce a scabby crop, and
land where a scabby crop was grown
this year will produce a scabby crop
next year. Barnyard manure increases
the disease, hence, to prevent scab, plant
healthy seed on clean land and use
commercial fertilizers. If scabby seed
must be planted, first soak them an
hour and half in Is gallons of water in
which 2h ounces of corrosive sub
Innate has been dissolved. This will
cost rs cents and will treat enough
seed for five acres. Soak seed before
cutting, and wash dirt off before soak
ing. a.r...... ... .n... ..
The sublimate is strong poison and
corrodes metals; hence mix in a wooden
vessel and exercise great care. Put the
mixture in a barrel and dip in bushel
at time in a loosely woven sack, and
spread out to dry. The Rhode Island
station confirms above points and adds
two years tests there prove conclusive
ly that lime and ashes aggravate po-
tato scab, which constitutes a serious
objection to their use on potato lands.

The Country Butter BUYER.

We refer to the country grocer who
buys for goods the butter made by his
customers. He is frequently at the
mercy OF the poorest butter makers in
his township. They can't sell their
butter to private customers or to the
commission houses; hence it turns up
at the grocery. The grocer pays ten
or twelve cents pound for it, and
that is frequently more than it is worth,
as the same butter if sent to a city
would be graded as grease" Does the
grocer tell the farmer his butter is not
good? Far from it; he can't afford to
lose customer. Often he gives the
butter word or two of praise, which
convinces the farmer that his wife is
not to be beaten as butter maker. IL
would never do for the groceryman to
set himself up as a judge over the but
ter of his patrons.-Farmers' Review.

To Prevent Fires on Farms.

Too great care cannot be exercised
to prevent fires on the farm; for fire
once started means the destruction of
a building and perhaps more than one.
The house is exposed to the usual
causes of CONGREGATIONS exploding
lamps, defective chinrneys and careless
ness in handling matches. All the fire
caution possible against such happen
ings should be taken. See that the
lamps are perfect; fill them during the
Gay, and move them from place to place
with the utmost care. Make it a rule
never to throw match that is lighted
anywhere that ignition could take
place, until the fire on the match is
entirely out. So far as the barn is con-
cerned, never permit anyone to so into
it with a lighted pipe or cigar, and the
lantern should always be in good order
and handled carefully. The only .prac-
teal thing to do in the matter of fire on
tine farm is to prevent ir.-Rural World.

GOOD EARTH ROADS.
Facts to Be Remembered by Those En-
trusted with Making Them.

Facts to Be Remembered by Those En-
trusted with Making Them.
How to make good country road is
problem of widespread interest. In
large areas of the country, common
earth roads will have to answer all
purposes for some time to come. In a
recent number of the Pittsburgh Dis
Patch, Mr.. John M. Burn describes u
plan he has followed tor several years
with entire satisfaction, as follows:
"Cut the bitches down three or four
feet lower than tho roadway, use q
two-horse scraper to curve the surface,
and the natural forces set in opera
ton will do all the rest. The water
drains out of the body of the roadway,
the mud surface dries and toughens
as it dries, the scraper fills all ruts
and cuts away all vegetation, the sun
end air dry hornhard surface; rain
storms simply wash 1t off clean, ana
in an hour or SO after the rain it is ~
hard as before. 1 present it as the
most effective solution of the prob
lem of making good country roads with
little expense.
"The greater portion of clay roads
probably 90 per cent? are in front
OF farms and owned or rented by people
who do not have the money necessary
to macadamize (stone) them They
really cannot afford to do so, and it
is really to their assistance desire
to direct these thoughts. This is such
Il simple matter and so thorous hly ef-
fective that desire you to consider
the analysis. The existence of the open
ditch with clean bottom gives water
chance to drain out of the body Of
the roadway and run away. The tough
mud worked up by hoofs and wheels
becomes tougher and more compact
as it drains from below and dries from
above. .y..r -rt.afu.rsaRF mn ..Ir.
'The scraper drawn by two slow draft
horses attacks the surface when suf-
ftciently dry, all loose stones are moved
into the wheel tracks, everything is
moved towards the middle of the road
way, no vegetation remains between
the wheelways and the bitches, travel
compacts the still damp material in
it's new position. A rain may soften
some of it again. So much the bet
ter. The scraper trims it smooth again,
and about the third time the road is
smooth, hard, compact and dry. 1t
sheds the water of storm, because of
its curve, and especially because of
solid, impenetrable surface of tough,
dry material. Thus it remains and acts
until frost sets in. If the freeze-up is
rapid, the road is all light and remains
so. If alternate freezing and thawing
takes place it will roughen up some
what, but the bitches are at work and
very little water can remain in the road
way, and the road don't get bad enough
to speak of. #s... .tt4..5 ar....r...
1T takes water and clay to make
mud. Get the water out as soon as
possible. The bitches do that, and it
is no longer in the roadway, therefore
not much mud. 1t has been a very
interesting study to me, and l have
watched it in all its varying phases for
nlanV wears"

Road Building Is q Science.

Our communities should awaken to
the fact that road construction is a
science; that good roads cannot be
built on the haphazard guess of an in
experienced individual; that the mere
placing and compacting of broken stone
On a roadway is only matter of labor
and Workmanship; that workmanship
will be of no avail, however thorough
1t may be, if the design has not been
carefully adapted to the conditions to
be met and to the ends sought; that an
excess of strength can be readily Sc
cured by an unreasonable expenditure
Of money, but that the requisite
