To Promote Immigration.

Francis M. Hatch, Hawaiian Envoy
to the United States writes from Wash
ington recommending that the Govern
ment here appropriate the sum of
$250,000 to be devoted to the assistance
of emigration from the United States
to these Islands. The Cabinet has de-
cided to refer the matter to the finan-
ces committees of the Senate and
House. The amount of $4,000 was set
aside at the last session of the Legis-
lature and the same amount is in the
appropriation bill for the present ses-
sion for this purpose, but there was lit
tie call upon the fund. 1t was from this
source that Mr.. Fitzgerald wished to
draw means to further his project of
placing number of American farmers
on each plantation.

Dairy Notes.

Cows cannot be counted as high-class
dairy animals II they are expected to
suckle and raise calves. Nothing will
destroy the value Of dairy COW quicker
than to permit her to suckle a calf
lohger than the first two or three days
after birth.
A few experienced dairymen hold to
the belief that after several generations
he practice of dehorning will be found
to have been such a shock on the ami
mails that they will decidedly degenerate.
There may be something in this idea
when dehorning is confined to mature
animals, but such results hardly seem
feasible If the animals are dehOrned
when one year old.
Look out for a hard, dry, hacking
cough from any Of the cows. InVesti-
gate, and IL no reason for 1t can be
found, keep her from the other cows for
a week or ten days, and If the cough
continues have her tested with tuber-
culin. II she reacts under this test 1t Is
safe to say that she has tuberculosis,
and for the safety Of the rest OF the
herl she should be killed and the body
burned or buried deeply.
1. Is not wise to make any sudden
changes in methods Of feeding or water
ing unless there is good reason for 1t.
It makes but little difference whether q
COW is fed and watered twice or three
times a day; whichever plan she Is ac-
customed to is best If she has thrived
under it. If you are satisfied that your
COWS are yielding fair amount Of rich
milk under the rations you are feeding,
90 not change materially unless the
change is reasonably sure to result prof
itably. One cannot afford to experiment
with herd that Is giving good returns
under moderate expense.

Potato Scab.

Scab OF ptotatoes Is caused by fun
gous plant working in the surface Of the
potato. The germs Of it are very album
dant and live for many years in the soil
and also over winter on the potatoes.
If these germs are fed to stock they un-
doubtedly grow in the manure, and the
use of such manure may often be the
cause of infection. Also, they may be
spread in the soil by natural drainage,
and land receiving the drainage from in
tested fields may become infested with
the disease without ever having potatoes
on them. Scabby seed potatoes when
planted on new or old land will gener-
ally produce scabby crop, but the
amount Of the disease will generally be
much more on the old land than on
the new. Perfectly clean seed potatoes
planted on land which is free from the
scab fungus will always, and In any sea-
son, produce crop Of smooth, clean
potatoes, no matter what may be the
character of the soil; but apparently
clean seed potatoes may have the germs
Of the scab fungus on their surface.
This Is often the case where they have
been sorted out from lot that Is some
what infected with scab. In this latter
case the tubers should, at least, be thor
oughly washed in running water to re-
move any germs that may be present,
or, what is better yet, be treated with
corrosive sublimate (mercuric bichloride)
as recommended below. Land infected
by the germs will produce a more or less
scabby crop, no matter how clean and
smooth the seed used. Scabby potatoes
should be dug as soon as mature, since
the scab fungus continues to grow on the
potatoes as long as they are In the
ground. Scabby potatoes may safely be
used for seed, providing they are first
treated with corrosive sublimate as fol-
lows: Procure from a druggist two
ounces of corrosive sUblimate (mercuric
bichlOrlde); put this into two gallons OF
hot water in wooden or earthenWare
vessel and allow 1t to stand until dis
solved. Place thirteen gallons of water
in clean barrel, pour in the solution Of
corrosive sublimate and allow It to stand
two or three hours, with frequent stir
rings in order to have the solution uni
form. Select potatoes as nearly free from
scab as can be obtained; put the seed
potatoes into bags, either before or after

Walnut Timber.

Eastern Kansas is noted for its fine
walnut timber and large quantities Of
black walnut logs have been shipped
east and even to England. 1t always
brings a good price, from $50 to $3.50
per thousand feet, and is used for MAXI
ing fine furniture and finishing purposes.
1t is an easy and thrifty tree to grow,
especially on moist or seepy land. The
uts should be planted where the trees
re to grow, as it is not an easy thing
20 transplant 1t and make 1t live. Every
farmer should plant somewhere on his
farm a grove Of black walnuts, and
although he may not live to derive a
direct profit from 1t yet it will be a
permanent and valuable Improvement
and someone will eventually rise up and
call him blessed. When once well
started it grows quite rapidly and in six
or eight years from the seed will begin
% bear nuts, which generally sell readily
for fifty cents a bushel, and about the
only work in harvesting is to pick them
up from the ground in the fall. The
white walnut, or butternut, has better
and more valuable nut, but the timber Is
not 80 good or valuable as the black
walnut.

be a loose sod with enough earth to
germinaIte the grain sown, or, II close,
thick sod is had this will suffice for
green feed, without the use OF the grain.
Two weeks feeding in each of the yards
will allow for the proper growth Of grass
or grain In the one not used, and will
give the fowls the necessary amount OF
green food throughout the summer. The
space between A. and yards, G. c., Is the
general run. The corners, B. b., may be
kept spaded and the fowls will obtain
the necessary exercise in scratching 1t
over. Outside the yard, next these cor
ners, B. b., shrubs, plants or even corn
may be planted to cast shade In the yard.

Preserving Eggs.

Recent experiments with twenty meth
DDS Of preserving eggs brought out some
valuable information. In each test the
eggs were examined eight months after
the preserving was done. OF the eggs
preserved in a solution of salicylic acid
and glycerine, eighty per cent were
found bad when tested. And this method
Of preservation was sold to the unsus-
pecting public several years ago In the
form Of recipe at dollar each, and
1t was calculated from the quantity Of
mail received by the seller that he reaped
q golden harvest from the scheme. Eggs
treated with a solution Of alum were so
per cent. bad, and those put In a solu-
tion of salicylic acid alone were also fifty
per cent. bad when tested. Eggs treated

around them should be kept moist and

straw stack or haystack which is well
rotted makes excellent mulchlng. In
Kansas curraIts should be planted In a
moist shady place where they will be
protected from the hot south winds, and
partially protected from the hot summer
sun. Along the north side Of a stone
wall Is one Of the best places for them.
AS they always command a high price in
the market and are desirable and

be given to their cultivation than they

Currant Raising.

During the past few years growers of
currants have noticed that the clusters
are not more than half filled and that
part OF the fruit drops off during the
summer, Notwithstanding the fact that
the branches have blossomed full. It Is
now thought that deep cultivation is at
the bottom of this trouble. The plan
Of culture would thus seem to be thor
9ugh cultivation and cleaning out the
weeds in the fall, after fruiting, but no
cultivation in the spring even in mod
crate degree. The best success with cur
rants Is in a deep, damp soil moderately
rich and well prepared. Pruning should
be done in the early spring before the
buds start, by cutting OFF about half Of
the previous seasons growth, the fruit
blossoms coming out of the two and
three years growth. These cuttings
should be stuck in the ground in moist,
shady place where the ground is clean
and mellow and they will readily grow
and make young plants for transplanting

Vaseline were all good, as were those

Many packers Of eggs throughout the
country use the vasellne vHrnish, which
is very satisfactory although It takes
considerable time to apply the varnlsh.
This Is drawback to It's being genar-

have the disagreeable odor and taste of
eggs preserved in lime water, the method
most praCticed. The vasellne method Is
to be recommended for home use, though
whatever method is used the eggs must
be perfectly fresh and clean when the
preserving is done.
