Tons of Them to be Manufac :ured in
Washington.
O. w. Stoner, local manager of the
company in North Yakima, Wash, has
ordered potato-pecling machine from
Germany, says the Spokane Spokesman
Review. The capacity of the machine,
which will be operated by steam, is
placed at three tons per day.
The process of preparing fruits and
vegetables for market is secret fOrmu-
la. Extensive works are in operation in
North Yakima and on Puget sound. The
plant in North Yakima is capable of con-
Stunning six tons of raw potatoes daily,
and turns out one ton Of the cvaporated
product in ten hours. The manager esti-
mates that he will consume at least 100
tons of the Yakima burbanks this sea-
son. Several women and girls are en-
plOyed in the works at wages ranging
from Is cents to more than double that
amount per day. They are paid by the
quantity peeled, sliced Or spread on trays,
thus making the wages depend upon the
individual exertions of the wage-earners.
The potatoes are peeled raw, and after
slicing very thin are placed in trays and
cooked by steam. This removes the wa
ter, estimated at about 80 per cent. of
triment in the slices. They then go
through the drying process, which is on
the principle of dry steam heat, the pipes
passing through the evaporation near each
row Of trays. The evaporating appara-
tus in the North Yakima plant contains
over one mile of pipes, carrying the heat
to the trays. A wire screen is kept over
each tray during the drying to prevent
dirt from settling upon the sliced pota-

Growing Pun pkins in Corn.

My experience in growing pumpkins
has been on rich bottom land in eastern
Nebraska. This furnishes different con-
djtions from those found in many other
places. 1t is said that pumpkins are the
only crop that cannot be grown here.
The difficulty in growing them is that the
vines grow so rapidly that the pumpkins
get knocked off in crossing section line
fences. People in the East may believe
this if they choose, but like most other
falsehoods this contains grain Of truth.
The truth there contained is that the
vines do grow very rapidly, and when
planted with corn they grow so rapidly
that they interfere with the second and
prevent third or fourth cultivation OF
the corn. It is, of course, an error tc
plant pumpkins with corn to make the
land do double duty. Whatever the
pumpkins get from the soil the corn does
not get, and the corn crop will be proper
tionately smaller. 1t makes no differ
ence to the corn whether it is pumpkin
or 4 weed that is robbing it of moisture
and nourishment. So much is the result
of my experience in growing pumpkins,
and do not intend to grow them among
corn again unless there is some special
reason for so doing, such as thin stand
of corn where the pumpkins might be
planted late enough not to interfere with
the corn, and where the corn was so thin
that there was room for them.-C. J. Ell

HORSES IN BATTLE.

The Wounded Are Regularly Cared
for by Veterinary Surgeons.
Horses wounded on the battlefield are
duly attended to when no danger to hui
man life is involved The veterinary Of
fcer in charge is expected to follow close
on the fighting line, and together with
number of aids to inspect properly
wounded animals and give instructions
for their removal or slaughter, as the
case may be. The veterinary surgeon is
naturally exposed to considerable danger,
but if his work is not carried out dur
ing the progress Of hostilities in all prob
ability it cannot be accomplished after
ward, for, although the Royal Army
Medical corps is allowed to proceed to the
rescue Of the wounded men under the
Red Cross, the members Of the army vet
Urinary department are not permitted to
attend to the injured horses, because they
are not under the protection of the
Geneva convention, which makes no pro-
vision whatsoever for wounded animals.
At the conclusion Of the battle, If it
has been decisive and one or other of
the combatant armies have been driven
from the: field, party Of veterinary sur
geons, with their assistants, are sent out
to examine every animal that has fallen
and to shoot such as are badly wounded.
Those suffering from only slight injuries
are collected and taken to the veterinary
hospital lines, formed as fixed camps and
established on a similar basis to those Of
the Royal Army Medical corps.-Pear-

TEA OF THE TARTARS.
Beverage as Prepared in Thibet il
Not Particularly Inviting.


Our endurance would be tested to the
breaking point were our only resource the
brick tea Of Thibet, made and favored
after the true Tartar recipe. This tea,
for the convenience of porterage on cam
els, is made up in the form of hard, solid
brick-like Jumps, which are supposed to
consist of the stems and leaves of our
ordinary tea plant. But in the majority
of cases, brick tea is merely the off-scour-
ings Of the tea plantation, together with
dust and adulteration of endless other
plants. There is little of the crisp, curly
tea leaves to be found in the Jumps
When tea is to be made pieces are
Clipped off the bricks and immersed in
boiling water. The result is dark,
strong-favored liquid, with harsh, I'M
pleasant taste. One merit alone it pos
sesses-it is undoubtedly stimulating.
The flavor of the tea is not improved
either to our taste by the addition to it
which the Tartar favors. Instead of
cream and sugar, mutton fat and salt are
usually considered the correct thing to
add, and it can readily be imagined that
the beverage thus produced does not pre-
sent any particular attraction to English
men. The Tartars themselves are as de-
voted to their tea drinking as any old
Welshwoman so it is to be presumed that
here, as everywhere, habit is everything,
even in the matter of the flavor Of tea.

Value of Net Land.

Don't worry because you have wet
piece of land on your farm" says J. s.
Trigg of Iowa. ''The chances are that it
is by all odds the most valuable tract of
land on the. farm. Study how it may be
most economically and advantageously
drained, and then tackle it. The richest
lands in Europe are the reclaimed farms
wrested from the bottom of the North
sea in Holland. The redeemed peat boys
of Minnesota give fields of inexhaustible
fertility. The muskrat boys of Iowa will
grow eighty bushels Of corn to the acre
when drained. The wet lands Of the
Northwest, upon which settler would
have starved to death in an early day,
now ditched and reclaimed, are richer and
more productive than those of the his
tcric delta Of the Nile. Give us boys
before gravel knobs, Wet flats before
limestone ridges, black gumboo before

lands. Where grass will grow stock will
thrive, and stock means money for the

DR.. Gerber's Queer Will Invalid,

DR.. Andrew Gerber, wealthy physi-
clan Of Mount Joy, made peculiar will,
in which he devised to his son Christian
only one-half the income during life of
one of his farms. Almost the entire
residue of his estate, amounting to about
100000, was bequeathed to his great
grandchildren, Of whom none was in ex-
istence at the time of the decedent's
death. DR.. Gerber held strange relig-
ious views and believed that at
the time his youngest great-grand-
% years, he (the deceased) would
return to earth, and he desired
his estate kept intact until that time.
The will was contested and the Supreme
court gave Christian Gerber absolutely
all that part Of the estate bequeathed to

NAMING THE MONTHS.

October, November and December Mis-
nomers for the Last Three Months.
January was named after the Roman
god Janus; the deity with two faces, one
looking into the past and the other gaz-
ing forward to the future. February
comes from the Latin word februo, to
purify. 1t was customary for the Ro-
mans to observe festivals of publication
during that month. March owes it's name
to the old god of war. Among the Sax
ons this month was known as Lenct,
meaning spring; and this is the origin OF
our word Lent. April was named from
the Latin aperio, to open, in significance
Of the opening Of flowers. The Saxons
called the month Eastre, in honor Of their
goddess of spring, from which comes our
word Easter. May was named after the
Roman goddess Maia, and June was so
called in honor of Juno. July was named
in honor of Julius Caesar, and August
gets it's name from Augustus Caesar.
September is from the Latin Septem,
seven, this being the seventh month ac
cording to the old Roman calendar. DC.

the bark Of trees which grow in groves
known as ''quinine quinales," usually
found on the steep and broken mountain
sides, at an elevation of from 5000 tc

for the most part have been produced
from seed, which is gathered in the early
summer months and then planted and
sprouted in hothouses. The plants are
transplanted, and in five or six years at

Feed for Horses.

When cut feed with corn and oats is
fed to working horses it often happens
that the proportion of corn in the meal is
too large, causing the horse to get off his
feed, and possibly giving him collie from
inability to digest it. If the corn meal
produces no other bad effects, it is apt
to make the horse take OH fat rather
than build up the muscles. as it needs to
do for hard work. Some wheat bran
with little wheat middlings put in will
remedy this. The wheat middlings will
countcract the tendency of the bran to
produce scours and both are the natural
compliments Of corn meal, which is
mainly carbona ceous, and is therefore
fattening, rather than strengthening.
The horses especially like this mixture
when the cut feed has been moistened
with hot water. thus partly soaking the
ration before it is fed to them. This hot
water on bran creates an aroma, of
which, mixed with cut hay, horses are
exceedingly fond, and the whole ration
being cooked is more easily digested.
