west to Colorado. Messrs. Smith and
Swingle of the bureau of plant indus
try at Washington have lately report
ed the following conclusions in regard
to it, after investigation Of the disease
as it occurs in different parts of the
country:
The bundle blackening and dry end
rot of the tuber are two stages of the
same disease. This begins in the field
in the underground stems and roots.
A fungus is always present in the
darkened vascular bundles of the tu-
bers in sparing amount and cultures
therefrOm have shown this to be a
"fusarium"
The above ground SYMPTOMS are slow
change Of color. dwarting. more or less
rolling or curling Of the leaves and
finally a wilt of the foliage and the
falling down Of the stems
The first symptoms in the tuber are
nearly always at the stem end in the
form Of Drowned or blackened vascular
bundles. During this stage Of the dis
ease the tubers are sound externally.
The dark stain In the vessels may final
II extend to the eye end of the tuber
The fungus attacks the plant from
the soil and winters over in the earth.
In land frequently planted to potatoes
it can probably maintain itself indefi-
nitely.
A copious use of fertilizers. such as
lime, phosphates. nitrates and potash
salts. did not enable the plants to over
come the disease
The disease continues in stored pota-
toes, and if they are kept in warm
rooms the loss during the winter is
likely to be large.
Diseased tubers should be stored in
COOL dry rooms and used early in the
season. They should not be fed raw to
stock.
Infected land should be planted to
other crops for a series of years. Ten
tatively at least it would be best to ex-
clude also tomatoes, eggplants and pep
pers from such land.
The greatest care should be taken to
avoid the infection of healthy land by
the planting Of diseased tubers. All
tubers designed for seed should be cut
at the stem end and carefully inspected
before planting.
Diseased tubers should not be thrown
on the manure pile.

Interesting Documents That Are on

AAN Ah oOAAEEHGA hOu8Gs
In tie hear, of London. facing on one
side tie famous thoroughfare known
as the Strand and on the other looking
on the Thames, will be found Somerset
House. once Il private palace, but now
devoted TO various departments of the
inland revenue of Great Britain.
Perhaps ihe most interesting govern
hieut department il Somerset House is
that devoted 10 the filing of wills, and.
as might be supposed, the collection is
immense. varied and extraordinary.
ranging from the will of Shakespeare
himself containing practically the only
known autograph of the world renown-
ed pOet) right down to mere curiosities
in wills, such as those carved on the
lid OF desk or contained within secret
cabinets or escritOires.
Here for % cents one may inspect
the will of any British person. There
are wills leaving immense sums to
cats and dogs; wills written in human
blood. But the most interesting one
has quite a romantic history.
1t is the will of British Official who
died in Cairo of the plague. Before
u death lie took care to prepare his
vii upon par ,ment procured from the
skin of a f~cslly killed goat, but as he
handled this skin himself it was
thought later on that the will might
have the power of transmitting the
dreadful plague from which its writer
died. Accordingly. after having been
passed from hand to hand with some
what disastrous results in the way of
plague and death. the will was put into
bottle of spirits. Arrived at Somer-
set House. the will was read to the next

chives of the department - Kansas

OLD TIME COOKERY.
Curious Recipes That Were In Use
In the Fifteenth Century.

Curious Recipes That Were In Use
In the Fifteenth Century.
An old volume, the Noble Boke Of
CoOkry, for a Prynce Houssolde or eny
other Estately HoussOlde,' written
about the year 146T, contains many
rare and curious recipes in use in those
days not only for ordinary dishes, but
those to be eaten on fast and fish days.
1t is curious in reading this cookery
book to lind that there are the same
birds. beasts and fishes. the same
courses and sometimes the same names
to dishes as in a modern one, but, al
though the names are often the same,
the ingredients and the preparation
are very different. For instance, their
blanche mango" was composed of
lamprey or other fish, and their Gus
tards contained fresh pork minced
small.
Here is one recipe from the book
To make mon amy take and boil cows
cream and when it is boiled set it aside
and let it cool. Then take COW cUrds
and press out the whey; then bruise
them in a mortar and cast them in the
pot to the cream and boil together.
Put thereto sugar. honey and may but
ter, color it up with saffron and in the
setting down put in yOlks of eggs we'll
beaten and do away the strain and let
the pOtage be standing; then arrange
it in dishes and plant therein flowers
of violets and serve it,"
Some of the recipes in this quaint old
book were intended specially for a
''lordes" table. For instance, a pike
was to be served whole to "a lorde, -
but cut in pieces for the "commonalte. -
Cabbages were to be thickened with
grated bread for ordinary people, but
served with yOlks of eggs for "lorde.
The dishes at this time used at table
were either gold or silver for great Oc,
casions and wooden trenchers and plat.
ters for ordinary use. 1t was not till
the time of Queen Elizabeth that
plates Of metal and earthenware began
to be generally used instead Of wood.

FLOWERS IN MEXICO.
So Plentiful That They Are Used For
Great Public Decorations.

30 flentliul Ihat Ihey Are Used For
Great Public Decorations.
AS a people the Mexicans are very
fond of flowers, and every village, town
and city has its place where flowers
are sold. and many of the larger places
have extensive flower markets. Often
the Gowe.s b:ou5Lt to tAe market are
wild specimens foGnd in tie woods and
the fields. but all are beautiful. In
many of the smaller towns and villages
the public parks and the sidewalks of
the streets are used as places for the
sale of flowers. Everywhere they may
be bought at surprisingly low prices
So plentiful are flowers they are used
for great public decorations. Some
times whole parks and the fronts Of
buildings for many streets are covered
with floral decorations on a feast day.
The Mexican love OF flowers has been
inherited from a long line of flower
loving ancestors. More than a thou
sand years ago the chief feature Of
worship among the Toltecs was the
great floral Offering which was made to
the fair god once a year and which
lasted for a whole Mexican week. Dur
ing this festival one of the features
was a great floral procession. which
traversed the principal streets Of the
city to the sound of musical instru-
ments. Every one in the procession
carried flowers to lay upon the altar Of
the god or to place upon the steps or
walls of his temple. In this procession
were princes, mobiles. priests and COM
moners. This floral festival was an
expression of the love Of nature for
which tie Toltecs were noted. Until
they came into contact with the Az
tees later on in history they were pure
ly nature worshipers. and flowers and
fruits formed the chief part Of their
offerings. So the Mexican comes by
his love of flowers honestly.

FIRST TEST OF INVENTION Ell

An Interested group of railroad men gath

coupler invented by Yardmaster Adolph
Morits OF the Western, General Manager
Wickersham. Superintendent Cox and Chief
Clerk Bennett being associated with him In It,

busy having the different points covered with
patents. All the patents have been secured.
the test has been. made and the device was
pronounced an unqualified success An iron
duplicate OF the coupler was made by one
OF the local machine shops and It was USED
in the test yesterday. II was not put on a
car. but It set up on vice where its
working could be distinctly seen

expected that the order will be filled within
ten days. The first coupler in actual service
will be on one of the Western trains between
Montgomery and Atlanta. and other roads In
this section will probably adopt them in tho
near future.
Mr.. Cox was seen in his office yesterday az
ternoon and talked of the coupler and the
test
''I have just returned from the shops where
trial test of our new NORTH coupler has
been made for the observation Of some expert
car men," he said. They pronounce 1t
perfect success, and superior to anything that
they have seen in the coupler line, II being
simple and compact; its construction and
aperture within the head affording the requi,
site strength. making 1t one of the most sub
stantial the market, and automatic in every
particular, coming within and more than
meeting all requirements of the Interstate
Commerce law and Master Car Builders rules.
The automatic features OF this coupler at
ford the trninmen the ability to operate il
without the necessity of going between cars,
either standing or In motion, to couple or UNI
couple. 1t also has some features not
quired by any rule. whereby the knuckle Is
held In locked coupled position while

of the most common coupler failures by loss
of the lower portion OF knuckie pin by break
age or otherwise. which throws an excessive
and twisting strain upon the upper pivot Jaw,

which character embraces about 60 per cent
Of all coupler failures.
The structure OF this coupler is such, and
II is so compact that its commercial value

matter OF course, will make It very desirable
