1t Sounded Plausible,

THAT horse dealer down to Cross
town is a queer lot" remarked old
Jared Billings as he summed himself
on a horse block and watched his
neighbor mend picket fence.

or he'll cheat the very eyes out of
you. I'll just tell you what he did to me
last week.

him-iust had to have it that very
day to go to town on that court bust

didn't know me, and he'd lost lot

Here is the Ideal House.

Ilecturing in Philadelphia, DR.. Rob-
ert Ellis Thompson described the city
home of the future. He said it would
contain no stoves. Cooking will be
done by power, the building will be
heated from a central plant. elevators
will run from cellar to garnet, and
breakfast, lunch and dinner will be
supplied from cooperative centres.
The era of scientific cooking on the co
operative plan has been inaugurated
in Bergen. Norway, where for nearly
a generation cooking has been ban
ished from the home, and all receive
their meals from cooperative centres.
Not only will the house of the future
be cleaned by power, but the dust will
be removed by a pneumatic exhaust
system. Streets will be cleaned in
Ike manner, and the dust and dirt will
be carried away into the country, so
that country people may yet visit the
cities for breath of fresh air.

scabby crop no matter how clean and
smooth the seed used.
Scabby potatoes may be safely used
for seed provided they are first treated
in such a way as to destroy the germs
of the scab that adhere to them. There
are many methods of doing this, but
the most practical now used are as fol-
lows:
Procure from a druggist two ounces
of powdered corrosive sublimate
(mercuric bichloride), put this into
two gallons of hot water in a wooden
or earthenware vessel and allow it to
stand until dissolved. Place thirteen
gallons of water in a clean barrel,
pour in the solution of corrosive sub
Innate and allow it to stand two or
three hours, with frequent STRINGS,
in order to have the solution uniform.
Select potatoes as nearly free from
scab as can be obtained; put the seed
potatoes into bags, either before or
after cutting them, and then dip them
into the corrosive sublimate solution
and allow them to stay in it for an hour
and a half. If seed potatoes are
treated in this way and then planted
on land free from scab the resultant
crop will seldom be seriously injured
by scab. The expense of this treat
ment, including labor, should not ex-
coed one dollar per acre, as the ma
terial may be used repeatedly. But
the treated potatoes should never be
fed to animals, as corrosive subli-
mate is deadly poison. ;.
Another preventive of sea b is forma-
lin. This material should be mixed
with water at the rate of eight ounces
(one-half pint) of commercial forma-
lin to fifteen gallons of water. The
potatoes should be soaked two hours
in it. If this method is used the seed
should be planted within two or three
days after treatment. This material
gives equally as good results as cor
rosive sublimate. 1t is slightly more
expensive but the expense is light in
any case. It has, however, great ad-
vantages over the latter in that it is
not so dangerous, and being liquid
is easily diluted for use and may be
placed in any kind of a receptacle.
This material does not in any way in
lure the tubers or make them danger
ously poisonous. One pound of form
alin, costing not more than fifty cents,
will make thirty gallons of the disin-
fecting solution, and is enough to
treat fifty bushels of potatoes. If the
solution stands a long time it will
probably lose strength.

Milk in Tea.

The use of plenty of milk with tea
is wise precaution and must be re-
garded as a sound physiological pro-
ceeding, since the proteids OF milk
destroy astringency and probably
prevent the otherwise injurious action
of tannin on the mucous membrane of
the stomach. In the intestinal Juice
the proteids are separated and the
tannin probably combines with the
sodium salts The immoderate drink
ing OF tea is an unquestionable evil,
but the regular use of golden grain
belt beer will improve your health.
Order case and serve it regularly
with your meals. Order of your near

Reward of Honesty.

On Tuesday Miss Nellie Briggs
found upon sidewalk in Princeton a
pocketbook containing about 50 in
cash, gold ring and two tax receipts
bearing the name of Malcolm McDou-
gal. The little girl turned the purse
over to Judge Chadbourne and later
in the day Mr.. McDougal, who lives
in Milo, appeared at the Office of the
judge and claimed the same. He
stated that the money in the pocket
book did not belong to him, but in the
kindness Of his heart he deposited
with the judge 10 cents in United
States nickels to reward the little girl
for her honesty. -

Sixtieth Wedding Anniversary. ~
The following is from the Oneonta
IN. W Star and was received with
a request that we reproduce it,: II.
The experience of celebrating the
slxtieth wedding anniversary is one
that falls to but few couples and
rarely occurs within the county. Such
was the pleasure of Mr.. and Mrs.
Freeman Irish, the parents of Mrs. O.
g. Tarbox, last evening and, in rec
ognition of the event, tea was given
in their honor by their daughter at
the family home on Ford avenue.
Covers were laid for twelve and a
bountiful supper was served. Mr..
and Mrs. Irish are not long residents
OF Oneonta but they have made friends
OF all who have met them and the
congratulations of all residents will
be extended to them. They were mar
ried at Lewiston, Maine, Oct. 10, 1916.
After the supper Rev. C. S. Pendle-
ton, in behalf of the assembled guests,
in we'll chosen words, presented Mr..
and Mrs. Irish with handsome gold
headed silk umbrella. The worthy
couple were the recipients of numerous
congratulatory letters and messages
expressing best wishes, also of flowers
and other gifts from friends at dis
lance. That they may live to cele-
brate other anniversaries of their we'd
ding day as happily as this is the
wish of all. 4zy :a

Potato Scab.

Potato scab is caused by fungous
plant working on the surface of the
potato, says an authority. The
germs of it are very abundant and
live for many years in the soil and
also over winter on the potatoes. If
these germs are fed to stock they I'M
doubtedly grow in the manure, and
the use of such manure may often be
the cause of Infection. Also they
may be spread in the soil by natural
drainage, and land receiving the
drainage from infected fields may be-
come infected with the disease with
out ever having had potatoes on it..
Scabby seed potatoes when planted on
new or old potato land will generally
produce a scabby crop, but the
amount of the disease will generally
be much more on the old land than
on the new. ....f..
Perfectly clean seed potatoes planted
on land which is free from the scab
fungus will always and in any season
produce crop of smooth, clean pota-
toes, no matter what may be the char.
acter of the soil: but apparently clean
seed potatoes may have the germs oil
the scab fungus on their surface. This
is often the case where they have been
sorted out from lot that is somewhat
infected with scab. In this latter case
the tubers should at least be thor.
oughly washed in running water tc
remove any germs that may be pres.
ent, or, what is better yet, be treated
with corrosive sublimate (mercurie

GET READY FOR SCHOOL.

The vacation period is drawing to
close. Soon the boys and girls will
be looking up their books and set
ting ready for long term of school.
A number of families will come in
from the outside or send their children
here for the better advantages Offer
ed In some instances it may not be
convenient for such scholars to be
here at the opening, but great eff
| fort should be made to that end, owing
to the trouble avoided and the al-
vantages gained thereby. Touching
this point the editor of the Helena
Record, in recent issue, says:
when the school bell sounds the
opening hour on the first day every
boy and girl should be in attendance.
1t often happens that, for various rea
sons, parents are not prepared to send
their children to school on the open
ing day of the term; frequently the
pupil is not enrolled for a period of
three weeks or a month. Such prac-
tice is to be roundly condemned. The
pupil who does not make the start on
even terms with his mates must suf-
fer the consequences. 1t is seldom
that he can "catch up; even a week
of lost time is a handicap difficult to
overcome.
lone of the results of the failure
on the part of the parents to send their
children to the class room at the
start is that they are placed in grades
lower than those in which they right
fully ought to be placed and would
have been placed had they been on
time The effect of this is humilia-
ton for the child and annoyance for
the teacher Parents should see to it
that their children are not called up
on to pay the penalty of their own
negligence or carelessness. There are
few, very few. instances when there
is excuse for the failure of the pupil
to be on hand when the years roll

When Taxes Must be Paid.

Helena, Aug. 2S.-Attorney General
Albert ]. Galen today rendered an
opinion which will be Of great interest
to taxpayers and county treasurers
throughout the state, relative to the
time when taxes for. 1905 become de.
linquent, and also as to which fiscal
year taxes collected on December
should be credited. The opinion was
rendered in response to a letter from
County Treasurer G.. F. Robbins, OF
Custer county. who was the first to
notice that November 80, the last
day permitted under the law for the
collection of taxes, is legal holiday
The attorney general in his opinion
quotes section IL Of the Political code
which stipulates that any secular ac'
appointed by law or contract to be
performed on a particular day, such
act may be performed upon the mex
business day following with the same
effect as though done upon the da!
prescribed.
Therefore, taxes will not become de
linquent until 6 o'clock p. m. Decem
Der /, 1905, and consequently should
be credited in the receipts of the ifs
