Manure and Potatoes.

Farmers are familiar with the vari-
GUS methods of planting potatoes, for
they are grown not only in every sec
ton of this country, but over nearly
the whole civilized world. They are
one of the best of all crops, yielding
largely, and also being among the
standard articles of food SO familiar
are farmers with the growing of pota-
toes that they have been content to
put them into the ground with a single
manuring and good cultivation, trust
ing to chance of favorable season
and proficiency of the manure for a
bountiful harvest. But the potato, like
everything else, has its choice OF foods.
There is a time in It's cultivation when
even manure will not make a good
crop CT potatoes, but that is owing TO
the quality and condition of the
manure. An application of fresh
manure may injure the tubers 1t
must be well and thoroughly rotted. In
fine condition and carefully applied.

Isaac Stephenson of Marinette upon

ted States Senator from Wisconsin.
The final selection was marked by SEN
sational episodes The vote had been
taken and still lacked several Of the
requisite fifty-two, when Assemblyman
Goldsworthy. who had been comforting
with Lieut.. Gov Conner, came into the
room and asked if it was too late to
cast a vote Goldsworthy Wednesday
pladged his vote TO Hatten. The clerk
was instructed to call his name and he
announced his choice to be Stephenson,
his announcement being greeted with
applause by the Stephenson men. Other
votes then swung to Stephenson and

edge.

Bacteria in MIX Bottles.

The host of bacteria that may Turk 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 so 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 a series of steamed bottles exposed
to the air for twenty-four hours but
containing no condensed water the num-
Der of bacteria averaged 100000 per
bottle, while in similar series which
had undergone the same treatment in
all respects except they were covered
with clean linen cloth, averaged about
the same as freshly steamed bottles,
all Of which shows the very great inn
portance of keeping milk bottles, either
empty or full, very carefully covered.

Every farmer should prepare some
kerosene emulsion now and keep 1t ON
hand all the time You will need Il
as spring comes on. This emulsion Ii
made as follows: Kerosene, two gal
Ions; common or whale oil soap, one
quarter of pound; water, one gallon
Heat the solution of soap and add it
boiling to the kerosene then churn the
mixture for ten minutes.
Be sure to have the water boiling hot
when you add it to the kerosene, ana
churn it thoroughly; otherwise you
will have trouble in making 1t good
emulsion, which, when made right,
should have creamy appearance.
To use this stock emulsion, dilute
1t with 20 gallons Of water and apply
1t with spray pump. If you are deal
Ing with hogs and no spray pump Is at
hand, put the animals in narrow
chute and apply it with a common
sprinkling can.
Kerosene emulsion is one OF the most
useful remedies against insects, espe-
cially those that suck the sap from the
plants or blood from animals which
they attack and which therefore cannot
be combated by the use of stomach pol
sons like Paris green
On the other hand, different plants
vary In their ability to withstand the
oil, so that care must be used to make
the emulsion strong enough to be fatal
to the insects without hurting the
plants. The chief insect pests for
which it is used are the various species
of plant lice or aphids and the scale In
sects
