How to Prevent Potato scab.

Recent investigat ton has shown that
potato scab Is a fungous disease and
that the fungus may exist Ia the soil
or on the seed. Soils containing large
quantities of manure are particularly
likely to produce seabby tubers; hence
only commercial fertilizers should be
used for potato crop, says the st.
Louis Post Dispatch. Seed potatoes
that appear to be free from scab may
he laden with spores Of the scab fun
gus. Both scab and spores are de-
stroyed by soaking seed two hours In =
solution Of eight ounces of formalin In
fifteen gallons Of water shortly before
planting. Where large amount Of
seed is to be trea ted large vat hold
Ing several bushels liz best for this pur-
pose. Another convenient method Is to
Use barrel with one head knocked
out. Place the potatoes in 4 bag and
lower into the formalin solution by
means OF rope and pulley secured
above the barrel When soaked long
enough, pull up and allow potatoes to
drain. preventing waste OF solution.
Do not place treated ed with I'M
treated or in crates where untreated
potatoes have been. as contamination
will likely result

Several years after planting an or
chard it is not unlikely that the farm
er, unless he has taken proper precau
tions, will be unable to distinguish one
variety from another. except, of course
where there is wide difference in the
habits of growth and color Of bark Of
the trees. And it is well that the fruit
grower should know the name of every
tree in his orchard, says the Farm
Journal Several methods are employ
ed for this purpose. Many orchardists
use labels, but they fade out and il at
tached by strings are often lost, while
wire fastenings work into the wood
A convenient plan is to make out a
rough map of the orchard with good
paper and ink, showing the location of
all varieties. with age, date Of plant
Ing, name OF nursery and other useful
notes. II such map is kept with the
same care as other valuable papers, it
will prove q great help.

answer to a charge of perjury preferred
w the British authorities in connection
with his testimony.
Caldwell was arrested upon request
of the British authorities when he ar
rived here from Europe one week ago
last Saturday and announcement was
made at that time that efforts would
be made to have him taken back to
London to answer to the charges pre-
ferred against him. Only the fact that
he apparently was desperately Ill when
he was arraigned before United

responsible for his release on COM

at $4,000 Sureties were furnished and
Caldwell was taken to the home of mis-
daughter. 1t Is said that his health has
improved steadily since that time.
The re-opening of the bruce grave
was undertaken as a final effort Of the
British government to prove their
charge that Caldwelrs testimony was
"wilful and corrupt" perjury
Efforts to reach Caldwell at his home
on Staten Island today were unavailing.
His daughter said he was 50 i'll that
his physician would permit no one To
see him. She was informed that the
grave of T. c. bruce was found 10 CON-
tain the bones of a human being but
she declined to ask her father anything
about the case.

counsel had no opportunity for con-
ference with him and until he could do
