A NEW REMEDY FOR POTATO
SCAB.

February 265h, Purdue University
Agricultural Experiment Station sent
out the following bulletin:
Potato scab is source Of material
loss to those who grow potatoes for the
market, and great blemish in all
cases. 1t is one of the triumphs OF
practical botany that the cause of this
trouble has been traced to minute
germ that feeds on the surface of the
potato tuber, and to less extent on
other feshy roots and tubers. It has
also been found that cuitable fungi
eide will kill the germs on the tubers
without ipjuring the growth ofsthe po
tatoes. Corrosive sublimate meets
these requirements, and has been ad
vocated by the Purdue Experiment
Station, where its application origi.
mated. So effective has it been found,
so cheap and easy to apply, that many
large growers, who get extra prices for
their crops by having high grade prod
uct, have adopted the treatment as a
regular thing.
The deadly poisonous nature of cor
rosive sublimate, however, has kept it
from coming into general use. 1t is,
therefore, considered matter of con
siderable moment to be able to announce
the discovery Of a new fungicide for
potato scab, one that is thoroughly
efficient and not poisonous. The new
substance is formalin (some times
called fcrmaIdeheyde), Watery solu
tion of a gas, not very expensive, aid
rapidly coming into favor as general
antiseptic, 80 that tits likely to become
still cheaper and better known. 1t is
sold by the fluid ounce, and can be OBJ
tanned at most drug stores.
The method of using the new fungi
eide is very simple. Eight ounces Of
the formalin are added to fifteen gal
long of water, and in this the seed po
tatoes are soaked for two hours. After
taken from the bath they can be cut
and planted as usual, either at once or
after some time. Formalin is not cor
rosive, and so can be used In any klnd
Of vessel, and, not being poisonous,
there are no particular precautions to
be observed. It does, however, make
the hands smart, if there are any raw
spots, and the fumes irritate the eyes
and throat. But these are only slight
annoyances. Further information
about formalin and its use as fungi
eide will be given in bulletin to be
issued in q short time.

BARNARD GRASS.

The Massachusetts,, Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station has recently intro
duced three new varieties of millets
from Japan. Among them is a variety
Of barnyard grass, Pa7GicWng cTWs gala,
which, while it differs in it's habits of
growth, is botanically Identical with
the common barnysrd grass. The
variety from Japan has been grown for
few years at the Massachusetts Elk
pertinent Station. Prof. Brooks, of
that Station, is very enthusiastic about
it and recommends it as fodder crop
either for feeding green or for the silo.
As forage plant it may yield ten to
twelve tons of fodder per acre and
when thinly sown in rows about foot
apart, yield of fifty to ninely bushels
Of seed may be obtained.
Ordinary barnyard grass is a coarse
annual, with stems two to four feet in
length, appearing in midsummer, il
low, somewhat damp places or on cul-
tivated grounds. The ordinary variety
a very handsome weed. Prof. Brooks
says: This Japanese variety of the
species has not become a weed here,
however, although the seed does not
not lose all vitality during the winter.
Although it is possible that it might
under some circumstances become
troublesome, it is hardly liable to prove
more so than clover or winter wheat,
for instance"
This plant is being quite extensively
advertised by seedsmen under the
name of Japanese Millet or its scientific
name, PaHtcWn1 cTUs gGIIi. While this
may prove to be valuable acquisition
to our fodder plants and not become a
means OF spreading a bad weed, the
Experiment Station would recommend
the farmers of Maine to be cautious
about purchasing seed Of this new
plant. Certainly the seed of Pdnic1na
e1-aGs gals should be bought only of re-
liable dealers, who will be sure to fur.
nish the seed of the Japanese variety.
The mischief that would be wrought by
sowing seed of ordinary barnyard
gIass is self evident.

Close buying end economical farm
management are now essential. The
cost of production, as well as the best
plans of selling, must be studied along
with the methods of making good
yields. Never was there greater ten
dency among farmers to live within
their means than now. The patch on
the clothing will come in fashion again.
The mark on the merchants book will

ana reaches annually the large figure
of over 10000 acres, and nearly 5000,
900 bushels, and sometimes larger. The
treatment of the seed tubers as here
recommended will materially raise the
market value of the crop and prove a
source of profit of no mean proportion.

National Educational Associat;o Meeting

For the meeting of the National Ed
vocational Association at Buffalo in
1896 the excellent service given by the
Union Pacific was commented on by all
those who had the pleasure of using
that line. This year our educational
friends meet in Milwaukee, Wis, July
9th to 9th, and members of the associa.
ton and others from points west OF
the Missouri river, should by all means
take the Union Pacific.
The service of the Union Pacific via
Omaha or Kansas City is the very best.
The equipment consists of handsome
day coaches, chair cars, Pullman buffet
and drawing room sleepers, dining cars
and buffet smoking and library cars.
Fewer changes than via any other line.
One fare, plus $3.50 for the round trip
will be the rate from all points west of
the Missouri river for this meeting.

Mr.. W. r. Helm, book-keeper for Isay
& Gombrig, formerly resided in Min
neapoiis, Minnesota. 1t was while liv-
ing in that city that his youthful soul
was fired by reading of the deeds of dar-
ing and skill performed on horseback
by the long-haired cowboys of the
mountains and plains of Idaho and
other western states and he longed for
an opportunity to test his own PROV
ess in subluing the almost untamable
cayuse, and his heart thrilled with
great bouncing throbs as he pictured
himself after victory over more thar
ordinary vicious brute, which had sue
cesfully bafled the efforts OF everyone
who had tried to tame him, with
sombero in hand proudly receiving the
plaudits of the multitude gathered to
pay homage to his prowess. That was
his dream. Here is the reality: Last
Sunday he went to the Livery Stable
and hired the gentlest horse in the
shebang and took ride to Silver City
and back. Since then he has been
packed in cotton and insists on taking
his meals standing and has registered
an oath to never, no, never go horseback
riding again.

has suffered with his ear almost from
birth and as his hearing is becoming

Hard to Please.

The son of a well-known Providence lawyer came home at the end or ms first term in college exulting in the fact that he stood next to the head Of his class. His father was less easily sat isfled.
 What! Next to the head?' he ex- claimed. What do you mean, sir! I'd like to know what you think l send you to college for! Next to the head, indeedl Humph! I'd like to know why you aren't at the head, where you ought to be!'
 The young man was naturally crest fallen. but upon his return to college he went about his work with such ambi- tion that the end of the term found him in the coveted place. He went home very proud indeed. It was great news.
 The lawyer contemplated his son for a few moments in silence; then with a shrug of his shoulders, he remarked:

Only 8 Common Soldier, and Yet He Laid
 Up a Fortune.
 With simple military honors the old est and wealthiest enlisted man in the United States army was buried in the National cemetery at West Point re- gently.
 He was Michael Cashman, who for more than 40 years served in the army service detachment stationed at the mil itary academy. During the past few years he has lived in Highland Falls, enjoying the fruits of his long and faithful service.
 On the meager pay and allowance of an enlisted man Cashman accumulated a small fortune. It is figured all the way from $50, 900 to $1OO,O0O, no one knowing the exact amount. The poor old soldier worked unceasingly and boarded his little fortune because he idolized an only child, beautiful young girl.
 She was educated at Mount St. Vim cent, N. Y., and was afforded every op- portunity to get an excellent education. Last November the young woman died, leaving an infant child. She died of 8 broken heart, her mother having CT pired suddenly only short time before The death of his daughter was a great blow to the old soldier. It was uDex- pected, and he never recovered from the shook
