The crisis Is being reached In the Y. NJ,
more working days in January, and the
clock hands stand at 3l40,o.5. leaving sixty
thousand dollars to be raised before next
Thursdy night. Unless some large sub
scriptions come In Monday or Tuesday, 1t
will be an uphill pull: but tho force of
canvassers are by no means discouraged
The suggestion was made last night
that since It would be necessary to raise
fifteen thousand dollars day for four
days, possibly some one who has rot
yet contributed would undertake one
whole day By authorizing a subscription
OF fifteen thousand. II one or two of this
sort could be secured. the minds OF tho
workers would be greatly relieved as 10
securing the conditional pledges. which
become void II the two hundred thousand
mark is not reached by Thursday night.

paign issued a statement last night ask

after his release was to the beautiful
Shea home in New York. The Southern
people have always felt the sincerest re-
spect and esteem for the talented jurist
and humanitarian, whose large heart and
broad sympathles moved him to inter-

shield to save from further suffering the
President of the Southern Confederacy,
whom he believed to be most unjusty
treated.

1t is never wise to tell a city GUS
toner what a dajryman is feeding his
cows, especially if it includes brewers
grains, ensilage and the like, against
which a prejudice has grown up in some
localities. These, when fed in proper
condition are good and the milk made
from them is as pure as any other milk
and keeps as long. But prejudice be-
comes a fine weapon in the hands of
rival milk-seller. We have known milk
man to take away customers from others
because they used brewers grain while
at the same time he was feeding it
himself but had the sense to keep mum.
The judicious millxman will not be too
garrulous when conversing with those
who may lay bare his methods, although
they may be above reproach. We have
known customers who have always liked
a certain milk to entirely reject it after
they had found that fermenting feeds
had been used. They declared that they
could taste the feed every time they
took a drink of the milk and wanted
no more of it. AS this was all due to
strong imagination is proved by the
fact that they had used and liked the
milk before they found that the fer
menting feeds were employed.

(Prof. L. f. Henderson,


During the growing season of 1905
an experiment was undertaken for the
control of potato scab The results
were published in Bulletin No. So. This
year the subject was taken up again
from a partly different standpoint. 1t
has been thought best to incorporate
into a short press bulletin the results
of the two seasons work.
In 1905 the experiment was of
three fold nature:
Cd To determine whether treated
seed potatoes, planted in ground where
much scab had prevailed the year be-
fore, as well as in land adjacent to
such scabby ground, would give crop
free from scab.
CD Of the three fungicides, cor
rosive sublimate, formalin and sulphur,
which is the best.
CD Whether small potatoes, raised
from large potatoes the previous year,
would reproduce small potatoes or large.
The results in almost every case were
very conclusive. A plat of about two
acres were planted to potatoes, the
ground having been thoroughly plowed.
then disked, then narrowed, and finally
marked out with a pillow for planting.
The seed was treated as follows
1. Corrosive sublimate: An intense
poison and should be handled with
care, guarding against using the YES
sci in which the substance has been
dissolved for any such purpose as mix
ing feed, or even putting anything into
it intended to be used for man or beast,
The poison was poured into warm water
in a wooden tub and stirred vigorously
with a lath until dissolved. Used 10
ounces sublimate to 60 gallons of water.
When thoroughly dissolved, put pota-
toes and sack into the liquid, and left
entirely immersed for two hours. Then
took out, let surplus water run back
into the vessel Put potatoes out to dry
or let dry in the sack, and cut for plant
ing
q Formalin: Harmless to touch and
not injurious to seed potatoes. Put 80
gallons of water in BARREL in which
put full pint of commercial formalin or
formaldehyde. Immersed sack and pota-
toes, and left for one and one-half or
two hours Then took out, drained off
surplus water, and set out to dry. Many
sacks can be treated with the one addi-
ton of the corrosive sub1imate or the
formalin.
g. Sulphur: The tubers were cut to

size, wet just before needed for plant
ing, and rolled in the sulphur.
1 may quote my summary from bull
letin No. SO of the Idaho station
1. Rolling seed potatoes in sulphur,
as has been shown at other stations,
will prevent scab little, if at all.
2. Treated potatoes, planted in soil
scabby from last years crop, will pro-
duce a scabby crop
8. Well treated potatoes taken from
treated sacks and planted in new ground,
will produce comparatively scab-free
tubers, whether the seed were clean or
scabby before treating. AS the new
ground approached the scabby soil of
the previous year, more and more scab
could be observed but in no case
much.
4. Formalin gave in this experiment
just as good result as corrosive subli-
mate. That being the case, I would
advise all to use it, as it is much safer
than the other fungicide.
5. The small seed in this case, how
ever in slightly moister and richer soil,
gave as good, and in a few cases even
better results than the large seed.
1t was my desire in this experiment to
ma out whether ny plduIluS very SCdDDy
potatoes, which had been we'll treated,
in ground several hundred yards away
from that in which my former expert
ments had been conducted I could get
a crop absolutely free from scab. For
malin alone was used; in this case
pint to about Is gallons of water, and
the tubers were immersed in the sacks
and left soaking for fully two hours.
r or hut
some of them were so gnarled by the
scab as hardly to be recognizable. The
ground was plowed, then narrowed, then
cross plowed and again narrowed. The
seed was planted deep while the ground
was then heaped above them, and they
were thus left until the young weeds
started. The harrow was then put upon
the ground, and the whole narrowed
until the surface was perfectly level.
At this time the tubers had started
growth, but were still well covered.
The value of this method was shown
at digging time when hardly a sum
burned potato could be found. Cultiva-
ton was given the patch three times
with the cultivator, and twice with the
hoe, keeping out nearly all weeds.
magnificent yield, both in size and guam
tically free from scab. I say ''practic-
ally" for though thirty rows did not
yield me a single scabby potato, three
rows at one end gave a half sack of
scabby tubers. Why it should have
been at this place and at no other,
am at a loss to understand, for I am
sure that every sack of seed had the
same treatment. These three rows had,
at this end, been more or less disturbed,
and the young tubers uncovered, by the
ground squirrels. Whether a few float
ing spores from the old ground had
blown over and thus inoculated the
young tubers is possible, but too i'm
probable to take into account. AS the
patch of ground planted yielded about
60 sacks of potatoes, large and small,
and the scabby ones filled a sack barely
half full, the ratio was 1 to 120. This
would mean over SO per cent of potatoes
were free from scab, while the seed
from which they were raised had been
unusually scabby.
