Changing the Location OF Crops.

The best remedy for diseases Is to
change the location OF crops that are
planted every year If possible. Old To-
cations become more unsuitable each
season, and some diseases will soon
be eradicated If a change OF crop Is
made frequently. This is also effica
cious in some cases when the soil
is infested with grubs. Not having
their natural food they are not under
favorable conditions. The rot Of the
sweet potato remains in the soil for
several years after the crop Is re-
moved, but unless carried TO a new
field IL will in time pass away. One
OF the causes Of disease Is lack Of care
in selecting seed 1t is very impor-
tant matter. as single infested po-
tato may cause the loss of an entire
crop But few who purchase certain
seeds know where they are grown,
hence every farmer who purchases
seed should insist upon knowing all
about them. and exact n guaranty
against impurty and disease. No re.
liable scotsman who grows bis seeds
will object to satisfying the customers,
as their regulations are at stake. 1t
must not be overlooked that the plow,
harrow or cultivator that was used
over a field on which a diseased crop
was grown last year should be thor.
oughly disinfected before using this
spring. Dipping them in Bordeaux
mixture, then thoroughly scrubbing.
and then dipping again, will greatly
serve in preventing the spread of dis
ease by the Observation-Disclosures

Though It looks very simple, yet Il
Is an elaborate arrangement in three
thicknesses; the figures in the highest
relief are of a rather heavy, canvas
like weave, showing corded designs;
then comes thin silk batiste, and un-
der this the net And upon these three
fabrics all sorts of variations are
played. Sometimes the heaviest
figures are held together by the soft
net, and in other places both net and
the sheer batiste foundation fabric are
cut away.

Deadly dangers lurk In the ground
left bare by the departing snow. All
Winter long there have been accumu-
lating deadly disease germs.
These have been protected and
kept alive by the covering OF snow
and now. with the first warm days,
these death-bringing microbes are
awakened by the rays OF tho sun. and
as the ground dries they are carried TO
all corners OF the community In the
dust that Is blown everywhere by the
Spring winds.
The human body at this time Is par
ticularly susceptible TO these germs
especially the germs OF fevers. The
system has been depleted by the fore
going Winter. Tho blood Is sluggish
and filled with impurities. The nerves
have not recovered from the tension
they have been under for the past
months. The stomach, the bowels. the
kidneys. the liver are all at their
worst
II is, therefore. not strange that
these germs OF disease find fertile
ground in which TO thrive, flourish and
develop into deadly Ills.
Spring is the time OF year when one
thould fear an attack OF fever, espe-
clally when the system Is depleted one
thould dread any severe illness. The
vitality is at low ebb. There Is less
power OF resistance 10 throw of d.
Bease, and II Is on this account that
fatalities are so much greater during
the Spring months than at any other
time OF the year.

such dangers. and that Is TO fortify

Professor Wiley, chemist Of the Agri-
cultural Department. has been making
experiments I'm raising suntOwcrs with
n view to the general introduction Of
the industry In this country. In Rus
sa this plant is cultivated as n staple
crop. There are thousands Of tons of
the seed raised i'm the Ohio valley and
elsewhere every year, but II Is be
lieved that the acreage can be In
creased many fold. to advantage. In
Russia the sunhower seeds are an artl-
Gle of diet, being eaten either raw or
roasted. The oil Is also used literally
in cooking, being practically equal to
olive oil II Is also useful 70 dressing
wool and for soap and candle making,
etc. The seed makes an excellent food
for Noultry and stock, the oil imparting
peculiar sickness TO them. Any soil
that will grow corn is suitable for sun
flowers. The average crop Is about 800
TO 1000 pounds to the acre, worth from
81 to S275 n hundred weight. when
mills are built to extract the oil the
value OF the crop will be increased.
