Our Potato Failure.


Two weeks ago we gave a report
of the estimated shortage of the po-
tatO crop. Here is a definite account
of the conditions in one potato grow
ing section, as it appeared in the Ohio
Farmer:
We are not alone. There are others
and plenty of them this year. There
is the most complete failure of pota-
toes this year that we ever saw. The
early ones mostly rOtted in the ground
before they were up, and what escaped
the rot at that time, rotted when they
were grown to full size. Last fall we
selected a good place for early pOta-
toes. fall plOwed the ground, disked
and fertiIiZed at the rate of 600 Id. per
acre i'm the spring. selected twelve
bushels of the choicest potatoes for
seed, cut to one eye and planted two
pieces i'm a hill SO inches apart both
ways. We have always. before, plant
ed i'm drills. but we thought they could
be cultivated better if planted both
ways
Six weeks later, after the first plant
ing was drowned out, we planted six
bushels more. but they too were ruined
by the rain. 1t made no difference
how high or well drained the land was
this year. the cold and wet got their
work i'm on the pOta toes i'm good shape
Out of our eighteen bushels of plant
ing we did not get bushe1 and will
have to buy our seed for another
spring
We planted our late potatoes June
%. and for a week at that time the
land was in excellent condition. The
potatoes got well sprouted before any
more rains came. and they came up i'm
somewhat stunted condition. and it
seemed hard to tell for while which
would beat out in the race-the pOta-
toes or weeds but the ground dried
off and the weather became warm and
by my having them planted in rows
both ways, our cultivatOr with wide
shOvels soon settled the fate of the
weeds
The potatoes grew very rapidly and
soon covered the ground, and there
was a mass of white blossoms all over
the patch. This patch was the envy of
the whole neighbOrhOOd. But blight
struck them. as it did all other patch
eS. and in two weeks they were en-
tirely dead: and while we should have
had 200 bushels per acre we are now
digging at the rate of 40 bushels per
acre, over half of which are too small
for table. We have very frequently
been troubled with the blight on our
early potatoes, but it is the first time
we have been troubled with orr late
ones.
Potatoes are selling at 30 cents
bushel from our local stores the high
est in my recollection at this time of
year.

Early last spring Mr. .Kustsr, an en-
ergstic young farmer from Kansas,
brought his young family into the
Valley in search of health for his de
voted wife, who was very low from
the serious effects of an attack of tu-
b~erculosis. He soon saw, as every one
must see, that the Valley had a great
future. Delighted with Roswell and
it's citizens, charmed by the beautiful
farms and orchards, and encouraged
by the young wife and mother who
drank inspiration from the floods of
sunlight and from the gentle breezes
she enjoyed here, he soon decided to
cast his lot with us. And in keeping
with good judgment, soon decided TO
make an investment in orchard prop
erty.
Through Carlton Bros, Mr.. Kuster
purchased the McIntire 2O-acre orch
ara, WHICH Is the uueSt SHdl OTCudIu
in the Valley. He was delighted with
his new home, delighted with the
Valley its people. But he soon
saw that the mother of his little chill
dren must yield to the fatal effects
of the dreaded disease, and today
four little children, s~ad-hearted, play
around the door of a motherless home
Mr.. Kuster is a thousand miles from
his old home. He wishes to return
there. tha his children may have the
care and kindness of their grandma
Their. In order to do this he will sell
his splendid property at a bargain.
The fruit from this orchard last year
sold for more han forty per cent of
the orchards value. Three fruit crops
will more than pay for the property.
1t will be sold cheap, and is a SPLEEN
did bargain at the price asked. MI.
Kuster will take in exchange unin-
numbered city property to the value
of twenty-five hundred dollars.

A Warning to Mothers.


Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the no weather
of the summer months to guard again
st bowel troubles. AS a rule 1t is on
ly necessary to give the child a dose
of castor oil to correct any disorder
of the bowels. Do not use any substi-
tute but use the old fashioned castor
oil, and see tina it is fresh, as rancid
oil ~nauseates and has a tendency to
grippe. II it ices not check the bowels
give Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy and then a dose
of castor oil, and the disease may be
checked in it's incipiency and all Ian
ger avoided. The castor oil and this
remedy should be procured at once
and kept ready for instant s as soon
as the first indication of any bowel
trouble appears. This is the most sue
cessful treatment known and may be
relied upon with implicit confidence
even in cases OF cholera infantum.

A Booi,s Impor,ance in Russia.

People here are so accustomed 10
regard Russia as an illiterate land that
they will probably be surprised to learn
that a popular book at a low price has
been known to reach sale Of 2,OOO,OOO
copies within a few months Of its ap-
pearance. Such is the avidity with
which the Slav reader seizes upon
what appeals to him.
In no other country. moreover. have
writer's been called upon to suffer for
their literary opinions as in Russia.
The story Of many Of them is a verb
table maftyrdom. NOvikof, the first
modern writer, whom the Metropolitan
of Moscow termed 1.-The best Christian
lie ever knew" was immured for fif-
teen years in the Schlusselberg, and
came out n broken man. Labzin was
imprisoned and eXiled. Radischef in
exile ended his own life by suicide.
Ryleef was hanged. with five other
lesser writer's, by Nicholas |. Push
kin would have died in exile but for
being killed in a duel, and Lermontof
was also killed when in exile, at the
age of seven-and-twenty. Odoevskly
was condemned to 1000 strokes with
the bastinado and twenty-five years
service in penal regiment, and SINH
lar fate was reserved for Shevchenko.
The list could be extended to cover q
page or two.-London Telegraph.

EOX OR BARREL PACKAGE.

The question whether the box or the
barrel makes the best package for ap-
pies and pears came again to free
discussion ut the meeting OF the West
era New York Horticultural Society
and the New York State Fruit Grow
crs' Association. 1t was generally
conceded that for ordinary fruit the
barrel is as yet the almost indispensa-
Bile and only package, while for choice
or fancy apples or pears the box is Of
ten found very profitable. Mr.. VII.
lard stated that even so inconspicuous
a fruit as the Winter Nelis pear. con-
sisting of course of we'll grown specl-
mems. all carefully wrapped in paper,
has netted him. in boxes, at the rate
of S11.50 pei bushel in the English
market. He also shipped Wealthy ap-
Piles to England in boxes and got good
returns. The Winter Nelis was
praised both by Mr.. Willard and Mr..
William c. Barry, rs a fine winter
pear, especially for family use. 1t is
easily grown. Nobody would be lio-
BILE to steal it from the tree, but 1t de-
velops fine qualities when it natures
after being shipped. 1t is then of fine
texture. melting and delicious.-Okla-

FLATIRONS.

The fiatirons must always be per-
iectly clean, and it is best to scour them
each time they are used; by doing it
thus frequently they are kept clean
with very little work, while If neglect
ed they are constantly doing poor work
soiling the clean clothes. and a long
securing when ehey are cleaned. After
they are washed and secured each
week, place on the stove tc dry thor
oughly and then slip each one into a
little bag made with drawstrings for
the purpose, or, at least, slip each one
into an empty paper bag TO keep clean
from dust till they are used again. A
rag dipped in kerosene and salt is e1-
cellent for smoothing the bottom OF
an iron; or sprinkle some salt between
layers of waxed paper like that used
for lining cracker boxes, which should
be saved for the purpose.

FLOWERS FOR THE HOUSE.

Flowers may be moved in full bloom
from the garden to the yard or house.
For instance, take an ordinary pine
box, say two feet by three, six or
eight inches deep. Fill with nice, rich
soil, thoroughly dampened. Take up
the plants with as much dirt adher-
ing as possible, and set in the box,
firming the dirt around the roots. Eli
the box full of plants in full flower,
and of different kinds. When done,
sprinkle thoroughly, just like they
had been in a hard rain. Let drain,
clean off, and move into the house,
or wherever you may wish them, and
they will not wilt, but will keep on
blooming-a veritable portable flower
bed. Keep well watered. Be sure that
the soil is well packed in the box. Ii
mu!ched with excelsior or clean chaff,
all the better.

REAL MAPLE SUGAR.

The Department. of Agriculture's
Bureau Of Forestry Is trying to revive
and extend the production Of maple
sugar AS persons of middle age can
remember. maple sugar was formerly
obtained from the sap Of maple trees.
Now it is usually compounded Of glu-
cose, brown cane sugar, extract OF
hickory bark and other substances Ca
pable of more or less plausible disguise.
The Bureau of Forestry considers 1t a
moderate statement TO say that seven
eights Of all the maple sugar and syrup
on the market are counterfeit. 1t
thinks that the production of the genu-
inc article can be made profitable
throughout the Northern States ana
down as far as the mountains of East
ern Tennessee and Western North Car
olina. It's investigations show that a
farmer can easily clear SO per acre,
and usually more. from sugar grove
OH land that would be useless for any
other purpose. At the same time this
industry would help to preserve forest
conditions. The bureau believes that
the producers can push pure goods in
TO the market at little higher price
than is now paid for adulterated arti'
cles by forming associations, adopting
registered trademarks carrying abso
lutte guarantees of quality and. If nee
essary. selling direct to the consum
ers instead Of to the middlemen who
are responsible for the present condi
tionS.-Colier'S Weekly.

HOLLYHOCKS.

Everybody knows that hardy per-
cnnial' is plant that dies down to
the ground every winter like Il peony
and comes up again in the spring for
an indefinite number Of years. and
most people know that there is be-
wildering assortment Of them, ranging
in height from two inches to three or
four feet. 1t is Q surprising fact that
there are barely dozen first-class per-
ennials that normally grow as high as
q man and are suitable for the back Of
a border Of hardy shrubs. The best Of
these are single hollyhocks. They
have by far the greatest range Of color
of any tall. hardy herbs and are hard
ier and more permanent than double
hollyhockS. They are biennial and
bloom the second year, and SOW them
selves year after year all over the gar
den. -
