Avoiding Potato BOT.

II has for many years been a theory
OF mine that the late blight OF pota-
toes is directly connected with potato
rot. After | had come TO this con-
clusion | learned that the theory had
been already proved by the scientists
One year | dug in the fall two fields
that had been affected by the late
blight. One field was dug while tho
potato vines were still green, and the
potatoes from this field rotted badly
in the cellar. We did not get around
10 digging the second field TIL after
the frost had struck and killed all the
tops In that field and a light crust had
formed one night on the ground. The
potatoes from that field kept well all
through the winter. In both cases We
picked out all the discolored potatoes
produced in each field before storing
them in the cellar. have no doubt
that the frost killed the blight spores
in the latter field Since that time,
when ! have had a potato field af-
fected by blight have let the digging
go as long as possible But a man
must not let them remain In the
ground till the frost hardens the soil
for the winter, else he will lose his
potatoes.-Charlos Comstock. Cass

The cottony Grass Scale.

In some OF the eastern states dur.
Ing the past two years the cottony
grass scale has been troublesome, de-
stroyng much grass. This Is unusual.
as the scale is not a new insect, but
has generally been present in such
small numbers that losses from II
were considered Insignificant The
present increase In its Importance Is
supposed 10 be due to a sudden de.
crease In the number OF It's parasitic
enemies that kept IL In check Just
how far westward IL is working we
have no record. but Il is well TO be
on the lookout for &c.
The mature female scale lays an
immense number az eggs inclosing
them In a small white sack. which is
produced nj the same time Some
times this sack Is half an inch in
length. When they are fully devel.
oped they are easily seen. The remedy
is to burn the dried grass. either in
fall or spring, but II is just as well 20
leave them tin spring II the matter
will not then be overlooked The
burning Of the grass destroys the en-.
tire generation.

paY,s Work on the Earm.

There Is little reason why a
days work on the farm should
not be about the same as in any
other place The farm day has be-
come joke with some people, who
claim TO have been victims OF It when
they were young. on some farms
only n fair days work is done, and
that is as II should be On other farms
the days work is from four o'clock in
the morning In summer tin eight
o'clock at night. That makes sixteen
hours work. Hired men frequently
revolt against that kind OF a day and
they are justified in doing 80. Tho
farmers wife. however. does not have
a chance 10 revolt; she IS too busy.
For her sake, n for no other reason.
the farm day should not be any longer
than Il must be. which Is much short
OF sixteen hours. Where that is the
duration. management OF the work Is
In bad hands.

NEW USES FOR GLASS.
Houses May Be Built and Streets
Paved With the Material.

II Is TO be hoped there Is nothing
more than coincidence in the stimuli
taneous invention OF glass houses by
an Iowan. and OF glass paving bricks
By a Partisan. for II the two inventions
should come in contact the architect
might have 10 begin over again. The
patentee OF the glass house proposes
TO attach brackets 10 the beams OF the
floors OF the steel frame work OF his
structure 10 support two walls OF opal
escent wire glass, the insulating dead
air IN the l2inch space between the
two walls, preventing the loss OF heat
IL winter and rs entrance in summer.
II is claimed that buildings con.
structed In this manner viii be more
free from drafts than under present
conditions. that they can be satisfac-
torlly heated with a quarter less fuel
than buildings OF brick construction,
and that the absence OF windows shuts
out dust. SNAKE odors and insects,
and allows Of any arrangement Of the
floor plan desired. The French In
yentor IN question aims az cheapening
paving bricks utilizing for his inyen-
tion old glass obtained from broken
bottles window panes. etc, as the raw
material The bricks now being test.
ed IN Paris are laid on a foundation
OF concrete. with wooden template
one-dfth OF an inch thick between the
bricks. Up 20 the present the new ma
tCrial does not appear TO wear as well
as stone but Il IS the belief OF the city
officials that the thinness Of the bricks
now laid makes them too fragile. They
suggest making them four inches thick
and laying them on a foundation OF
sand. as stone blocks are laid. since,
on the present bed they have proved
too noisy.

Iran Meats.

Trap nests are those nests in
which the hen lays an egg and
then finds herself in a trap, which
has been sprung by her own weight
when she entered the nest. She must
remain in her prison TIL some one
comes to take her out. The attendant
reads the number on the hens leg
and records the laying OF the egg. The
weakness about this plan is that IL
assumes an attendant present az al.
most all times OF day. The trap nest

where some one IL always nj hand to

One OF the greatest obstacles in
the way OF successful farming IA
the general lack Of farm &C.
count books This science, the
science Of numbers, Is regarded by
the farmer as n side issue, He says
that a crop will bring In just as much
money whether he has kept an ac.
count Of Il or not. This Is true. but
n a man does keep account OF all he
does and Of the profit and loss on
every transaction. he viii soon come
70 know the enterprises that lose
money for him and avoid them. A
farmer should know every day how
much his obligations amount to- as by
so doing he can keep from running up
bills for farm appliances that he can
not pay. II will pay the farmer with
a family to have one OF his children
learn bookkeeping and give that child

NELSON TAKES
THE VICTORY.
Knocks Out Young COrhett in the
Ninth Round Dane Was
Too Much.

SAN FRANCISCO, March bat.
Ting Nelson defeated Young Corbett
here last night in the ninth round in
what was to have been a twenty round
contest.
Battered and beaten for nine rounds,
Corbett. NICE the premier feather
weight Of the world, was in such a
helpless condition that his seconds
threw up the sponge to save him from
an inevitable knockout and spare him
further punishment and humiliation.
Corbett made a game struggle to the
end, but it was evident after a few
rounds that he had shot his bolt and
that the man who only a few months
ago had gained the honors over him in
ten rounds again would prove his SUI
%perlority.
In the final round, as COrbett came
to the center Of the ring, Nelson tented
with his left and as Corbett threw up
his guard the battling Dane landed Il
terrific right handler that sent Corbctt
TO the floor.

Corbett to the floor again. When the
~timekeeper bad counted six Spider
Kelly threw up the sponge, and the
beaten man was lifted and carried to
his corner.
The battle ended mach in the same
manner as did their first meeting. At
that time Nelson gave his maj such a
severe beating that his seconds were
obliged to throw Up the sponge in the
tenth round. 1t was thought at the time
that Corbetts poor condition and his
life On Broadway had undermined his
system and that he would prove this
in a return match with the Dane, who
two years ago was practically an I'M
known.
Last night Corbett entered lie ring
in the best physical condition. He did
his best, but even his great ring gen.
eralship and physical condition were
unable to ave him from the death
dealing blows Of Nelson.
Nelson's victory Over Corbett stamps
him as n Of the greatest feather
