A POTATO INCUBATOR.
Montana Mans Scheme for Raising SO
600 Bushels Per Acre


600 Bushels Per Acre.
A resident OF Great Falls, Mont. has
either made one of the greatest discov-
cries of the age in agriculture or he is
one of the greatest fakirs of the time,
and at present those whom he has taken
into his confidence are willing to give
him the benefit of the doubt. w. d.
Darst, cook, declares he has perfected
process by which an indefinite quantity
Of potatoes may be forced to grow ON
any tract of ground at cost not to
exceed 81 a ton. He asserts he can
easily raise 10000 bushels of potatoes to
the acre every sixty days and that he is
satisfied that much greater yield can
be secured
Darst has been a resident of Montana
for about six years, coming to the State
from Chicago as a chef. He recently
gave up his position and has been devot-
ing his whole time to gardening and to
perfectiLg his potato raising process, it
being his design to raise potatoes entirely
under ground, without permitting any
sprout or vine to appear above the sur
face. He claims he has done this and
that he can cause potatoes to grow
wholly under ground, one layer of pota-
toes on top of another.
He says he has caused potatoes to
grow in this way with layers to a depth
of fifteen feet, in which depth there
would be enough layers to produce 3d.
900 bushels of potatoes to the acre, and
he declares there is no reason why they
should not be planted to a much greater
depth. with corresponding increase in
the yield an acre. Darst declare the
secret lies in the composition of prep
aration that takes the place of soil. 1t
is upon this mixture that he claims to
have secured a patent.

BIG SPREAD OF FEVER.
Alarming Increase of the Yellow
ScourCe in LOuisiana.

At New Orleans sixty new cases of
yellow fever and four new deaths were
reported Wednesday, bringing the respec-
tive totals up to 653 and 124. The large
number of new cases and subfoci is sur
prising. but no attempt is being made to
account for it. OF the new subfoci three
are uptown, and the balance downtown.
Two dead men~were found in a shanty in
the woods, and it was found that they
had died of yellow fever. They were
Italians, who had died from lack of at
tention.
The most alarming feature is the rapid
spread of the epidemic outside of New
Orleans in districts not previously infect
ed. There have been twenty-five new
cases reported in outside parishes during
the last twenty-four hours. Nineteen of
these are in the town of Patterson, and
are mostly Italians. The three other cases
reported are in st. Charles parish, one of
them being q negro.
In spite Of the great increase of the
scourge both in New Orleans and in the
outside parishes. the State board of
health has decided to demand that Gov.
Blanchard call out the militia to protect
travel through the parishes which have
imposed drastic quarantine against New
Orleans. The present chaotic condition
threatens not only to ruin the business
of the city. but is a constant annoyance
| to travellers.
A proclamation has been issued by the
board prohibiting any town, parish or
village from refusing admission to per-
son from a non-infected locality holding
a health certificate not more than twenty
| four hours old or to person from an
infected locality who has spent SIX days
| in a detention camp, and has been dis
charged with a marine hospital certifi-
| cate.
Interference with the passage of steam
boats or trains is forbidden unless they
violate legal quarantine regulations. Nc
mail. freight or express matter shall, I'M
der the proclamation, be refused from In
fected territories, provided it is carried
| in cars which have been fumigated by
the marine hospital service.
| All persons who disregard these regu
