The Vermont experiment station has
made observations for some years upon
the time and rate of development of the
potato tuber. 1t is just bringing the in
Vestigations of the present season to a
close and although the full results ar
not yet ohtainablc their general teaching
is plain enough.
The plan in this work has been to plant
about the middle Of May vigorous late POI
tatoes. White Star and Delaware being
the varieties chosen. These are spray ed
carefully to protect them fully against in
5ects and blight. Digging is begun August
first and continued upon adjacent plots at
intervals Of ten days through the remain
deg of tn" selson. In this way the rate of
tubcr development for each To-day period
during August and September is deter
mined.
The results are surprising and of much
practical significance. The results thus
far secured this year averaged with tn Use
of two previous years arr given below
These figures show the approximate dates
of digging and yields to the acre OF mar
kctablc potatoes for the three seasons:

OF course the details of such develop
ment vary greatly with soil and climatic
conditions, but the main features have
been similar in all cases. The most rapid
development has occurred during the last
two weeks of August, when the surpris-
ing average growth of seven bushels a
day is shown. The most important fact.
however. is the continued growth during
september. one half of the total crop has
been produced in all of these experimental
fields after August oath, and nearly one
third of 1t on the average during Septem-
Der. 1t must be borne in mind that al!
these plants were sprayed with bordeaux.
pasis-green mixture and thus kept in Wig
crous growth, Adjoining plots not spray
ed began dying in August and in some
cases were entirely dead early in Septcm-
her, whereas the sprayed plants remained
comparatively vigorous until cut down by
the frost.
The great Importance of protecting the
plants so as to secure their full develop
mcnt Is evident. 1t has amounted for sew
cral years past to an average gain Of
over one-hundred bushels ar acre in the
total yield of marketable potatoes.

Possibilities of Market Business
Fully Demonstrated.
SOME OF THE BEST FARMS
A Brief Talk About Few o. the VeSeta-
bic Growers Who Have Been Sue
csssful-Add Largely to Reeve
nues of Western Montana

Missoula. Aug. 20.-Despite the fact
that this has been cold and backward
season, the possibilities of the market
garden business in western Montana
have never been more fully demon
strated than they have this year. More
men have engaged in the raising of
vegetables and in the supplying local
markets with the fresh PRODUCTS of the
garden that are so much priced. The
Hyde garden, east of Missoula in the
mouth Of He'll Gate canyon, is we'll
worth a visit. Ever since the early
weeks in May this garden has been
shipping large quantities of green
stuff. and is now sending seasonabe
produce to the state markets. The quail
ity of the produce is excellent and the
care that's taken of the gardens makes
them a pleasant place to visit.
Sam Dinsmore has a big garden at
his ranch near Florence, where his
poultry pens are located. He has about
80 acres in vegetables and the garden is
one of the finest in the state. Tom
Winsor is in charge and is making
big success of the venture of this seas
on, the first that 1t has been tried. Mr.
Winsor has sent to the Standard a fine
lot OF vegetables, including everything
from green corn and cucumbers to po-
tatoes and beets. The caulif1owers are
especially fine and those who have seen
the display made by the collection have
admired it.
The market garden business is de-
stined to become an important factor
in the development of western Non
tana. The small farm is gradually
making itself felt in the shipments
from western Montana towns, and this
is the farm that is destined to bring
this end of the state to perfect devel-
opment. There was long time that
this work was left to Cinnamon. but
now there are whites engaged success
fully in the business to an extent that
is making the shipment of this class
Of produce from Missoula and other
western Montana towns a matter of
considerable Importance.
Such gardens as the Hyde, Dinsmore,
Wright and Coleman ranches can show
are attractive in appearance, add mucn
to the revenue of this section and con-
tribute largely to the thorough devel-
opment of the valleys here. The men
who have been for years preaching
upon the text of the small farm are
now pointing to these successful farms
as indicating that their theory is the
correct one.

Dynamite Pills to Kill Snakes,

A novel way of destroying snakes has
been invented by John Ludwig of Min
nequa Springs. The country where he
lives is overrun with blacksnakes and
rattlesnakes. The farmers say that
they have eaten up all the frogs and
toads in the state. There being nothing
to eat the beetles and insects when the
frogs and toads are no more the crops
suffer horribly. But Ludwig's inven-
ton will save the lives of the insect
eaters by Staying the snakes, and all
may yet be well.
Mr.. Ludwig is engaged in the 1ccu-
patton of blasting rock. He never goes
around without few pounds of lyna-
mite or nitro glycerine in his pocket,
so thoroughly familiar is he with high
explosives.
Recently he came across large
blacksnake coiled around his dinner
pail, which it had tried in vain to swal-
low. Ludwig attacked the reptile with
a club, and gave it a terrific blow on
the back Suddenly there was a fright
full explosion that blew the snake and
the dinner pail to pieces, and very near
ly made mincemeat of Ludwig. AS it
was, it knocked him several feet and
wedged his head between the forks of
a tree, and from this he had great trou-
BILE in eXtricaating himself.
When the dynamiter finally got free
he made an elaborate investigation. He
discovered that the snake had Jwal-
lowed half-pound dynamite cartridge.
This fact was the basis of his anti
snake discovery.
After the inspiration came to him
his next move was to discover if snakes
really liked dynamite. He was not long
in finding out that they do. 1t mas a
sweet flavor and is put up in shape
very convenient for snake to swallow.
1t is not of too large calibre. 1t is very
smooth and can easily be eaten.
Since that time, according to the sto-
ries told by Ludwig, he has destroyed
hundreds of snakes by his ingenious
process. He makes little rolls of dyna-

mite weighing an ounce or two apiece,
and leaves them around as bait They
are readily swallowed by the snakes.
Having got thus far with his inven-
ton, Ludwig had to think up some
method to make the dynamite explode.
Finally he hit upon it, He bored holes
into the small cartridges and filed them
with red pepper, carefully covering up
the holes with a soluble material so
that the snake would not taste the
pepper while swallowing the cartridge
and reject the dose. After the plugged
cartridge has reposed some minutes
in the interior of the snake the red
pepper becomes free and begins to get
in it's work upon the snakes internal
economy.
