been better for seed than others. Mulch
ing is practicable only when the mulch
material can be obtained very cheaply.
The cost of spreading the mulch Is
greater than the cost of good cultiva-
ton. Any coarse material can be used
for mulch. Old hay or straw, or
even coarse stable litter, can be used if
free from grain and weed seeds. The
mulch should be about four inches
deep, and is best spread just before the
plants appear, the ground having been
first narrowed once or twice after plant
ing. Rather large seed pieces give bet
ter results than small ones where pota-
toes are to be mulched, since they give
the plants the strength required to
force their way up through the straw.
The seed pieces should be planted two
or three inches deep, and the hills can
be as close together as 1Sx1S inches or
12x24 inches

Bacteria in Milk Bottles.

The host Of bacteria that may lurk in
a supposedly clean milk bottle has been
the subject of investigation by the Wis
consin Experiment Station. Bottles
which had been steamed for thirty sec
onds were found to contain relatively
few bacteria, possibly $4,000 to bottle.
However, when the steam was allowed
to condense and the water 50 produced
to remain in the bottle at room tenn
peratures for possibly twenty-four
hours the number OF bacteria multi
piled enormously and varied from
100000 to say 100000.
In series of steamed bottles exposed
to the air for twenty-four hours but
containing no condensed water the num-
her of bacteria averaged 100000 per
bottle. while in a similar series which
had undergone the same treatment in
all respects except they were covered
with a clean linen cloth, averaged about
the same as freshly steamed bottles,
all of which shows the very great i'm
pOrtance of keeping milk bottles, either
empty or full, very carefully covered.

A handful Of sawdust sprinkled with
carbolic acid and thrown in the nest
box will prevent vermin. The sawdust
so treated can be also scattered in the
stalls and on the floors of stables, and
flies and insects of all kinds will be
less troublesome. Crude petroleum will
be found excellent as a liniment for
sores, and will also assist in keeping
vernin away.

Denatured alcohol has not come down
as much in price since the internal rev.
enue tax was removed, the first Of this
year, as had been hopec. There were
many experts, indeed, who did not ex-
pect such reductions as were prophesied
last year. 1t Is now obtainable at re-
tail in cities at from 80 to 60 cents,
instead Of at Is cents. At the latter
figure it would have been available for
use as a fuel in motors in place of gaso-
line, which would. of course, have
caused something like a revolution in
the automobile and vapor launch indus
tries. At present prices no one is en-
gagged in designing the especial type
of engine in which it would be most
effective. 1t is now principally used as
heat-giving fuel in chatting dishes and
other cooking.

struction camp on the Portland & Seattle
railway near Lyle. The dead are:
Hjar EricSen. Christ Peterson and five
Hindus. All were laborerS on the North
Bank road. There is no living witness
to the accident. 1t is presumed that one
of the unfortunates drove mis- pick into
a missed hole of a mine that had been
planted there last summer by another
construction gang. The accident was not
discovered until other men were return
ing to camp Friday evening. These
searched for the bodies, but excepting a
leg of one of the men and the arm of an
other. not a vestige was found. The vic
tins seem to have been directly above
the blast and were probably hurled into
the Columbia river, which is nearby.
