NOTES ON POTATO BLIGHT
A Subject Which Is of Deeper Inter. est to the Grower Than the
 Potato-Bug Pest.

The spread of potato blight is of deeper interest to the potato grower than the spread of the potato bug pest, because the blight is more insidious and harder to check.
 Spraying is the most effective meth cd of preventing potato blight, says the Farmers Review. but it must be used before the blight has appeared that the tender fungi may be killed as soon as they reach the surface of the potato foliage
 The blight plant grows up inside the potato plant and is not noticed till 1t begins to produce seed, drawing all of its sustenance from the potato plant. When the black spores appear the mischief is then mostly done. That is why spraying at that time IS large ly ineffective.
 Spray with Bordeaux mixture, which is made by combining four pounds oi copper sulphate. four pounds of fresh lime and 50 gallons of water. The spraying should be done during the first two weeks of July. Get ready now.
 The earliest potatoes are not gen. erally affected by blight The medium and late varieties are the ones that have to be looked out for.
 Some of the eastern potato growers are strying to develop a potato that will be immune to the potato blight, and they claim to have grounds to be- lieve that success is possible. May their efforts be crowned with success

GOOD WORD FOR cooLIE.
British Army Officer Is Impressed with the Faithfulness of
 Chinese Toilers.

Lieut.. Col. Mainfield. of the British
 army, writes My admiration for the Chinese coolie is unbounded; there IS no man in the world who does the same
 patient, laborious work so cheerfully.
 Farther on, when we came to the noun
 talnous watershed country, where only
 pack loads are possible, I became still
 more confirmed in this opinion. Often
 aIter long and weary day with the sur
 veyors, in the course of which we would
 have climbed up from 5 900 to 5000 feet
 and made several such assents and de- scents, having, perhaps, been on the
 move from five in the morning until
 dusk, we would come in. rather inclined to pat ourselves on the back at the thought of what a. hard days work we had successfully accomplished, only to find that the Chinese coolies had made as good time, each man having covered nearly as much ground with load of 100 pounds on his back This done on few DoWls Of rice and bean curd, for wage or less than ninepence (18 cents).
 Then, on their arrival. one might have thought that the coolies would have been glad to rest; but if as was often the case where accommodation was limited l slept in the same house. I found to my annoyance that to retire to bed was far from their thoughts and that my sleep was often disturbed by the noise they made as they sat up gambling long past midnight, and yet they would be again on the road before six in the morning, having risen to make up their loads an1 get their food cooked before five o'clock"

 boys use the natural spathes for toy
 canoes. The real canoes are formed from the trunk of the gommier tree. followed out inside and spread open by means of heated stones and hot water To add greater freeboard 10 the shell plank is fastened to either gunwale and the whole is strengthened by hand hewed ribs and thwarts. These boats are used throughout the islands. not only by the fishermen but as passenger craft as well. and when larger and more stoutly built are even used as lighters in loading and discharging the steamship cargoes
 For speed. seaworthiness and roueb usage these primitive craft have few. if any. equals It is no uncommon sight to see a fleet of these dugouts bobbing about far ont to sea laden 10 the gun wales with huge albicore and dolphin. and under press of canvas far out of proportion to the tiny vessels. As row boats they are very fast. a good native oarsman easily pulling five or six miles an hour in a % foot canoe. while their torpedo boat" bow and stern give them an appearance of even greater speed.

N. K. BOSWELL GETS
OUTLAW JOHN KELLY

OF residence of his man, and, going to
Council Bluffs, there ascertained that
Kelly was still contracting, and that al
that time he was engaged near Red
Oak, On the line of the Burlington an6
Missouri road, which was then being
built in that section.
In looking over the ground, MIR. Bos-
well found that his man was engaged
three miles from Red Oak, but to get
a train it would be necessary to drive
forty miles, to the junction of the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad, through a thinly
inhabited region. Mr.. Boswell, how
ever, arranged his program perfectly
in advanced, ascertainel the time at
which trains passed the junction, and
secured the services of a faithful man,
the sheriff of the county in which Kelly
was at work, and together they drove
out to the point where Kelly was sup
posed to be engaged.
, Mr.. Boswell had never seen Kelly,
but he carried such a complete descrip-
ton of him that he knew he would
recognize him at first glance. Fortu-
nately the officers came upon the fugi-
tive alone. AS they drove along by
the side of a railroad cut, they recog.
nized him standing on the other side
of the cut. After observing the move.

did not step into the vehicle immediate
ly. The order had its desired effect.
Kelly stepped into the buggy, and the
officers drove off, covering the mob
with their pistols until well out OF their
range, leaving them gnashing their
teeth and swearing, but in vain.
A fine prospect the officers had be-
fore them-very fine, indeed! A
wounded man to take care of, and how
badly wounded they did not know;

great deal at first at the pain occasion

finding that his groans occasioned no
apparent compassion in the breast OF

last settled down into grim n sullen
endurance, and the party drove on, no
one saying anything. Boswelrs com

arms in readiness to meet any sudden
attack, and the prisoner continually

which he felt confident would come to

early in the morning, and it was not
late in the day when Red Oak was
