HOW TO APPLY PAINT.

Greatest care should be taken when
painting buildings or implements
which are exposed to the weather, to
have the paint applied properly. No
excellence of material can make up
for carelessness of application, any
more than care in applying it can
make poor paint wear we'll
The surface to be painted should be
dry and scraped and sandpapered
hard and smooth. Pure white lead
should be mixed with pure 1inseed oil,
fresh for the job, and should be well

HOW TO TREAT
POTATO SCAB

Potato scab is a well-known and
widespread disease which does an
immense amount of damage to the po-
tato crop annually. Injury and conse-
ouent losses due to scab remain very
large, in spite Of the fact that the
cause and efficient methods OF con-
trolling the disease have been known
for many years. The minute parasitic
organism which causes the disease
was discovered and described by Ro-
land Thaxter of the Connecticut state
station in 1890, and several other sta
tions have contributed to the working
out of efficient methods of treatment
of the disease. The roughened, scab-
by, pitted surface of potato tubers due
10 scab is well-known practically
everywhere that potatoes are grown,
and the use of untreated seed and the
too common practice of reserving I'M
salable, scabby tubers for planting has
resulted in an increase rather than in
n decrease OF the disease in many To-
calities.
In a bulletin of the Maine station
w. ]. Morse summarizes the more i'm
portant practical facts regarding the
disease as follows:
Crop infection on old land may come
from the soil, from the seed, or from
both. On new land the source is large
" from undisinfected seed. Soil con
ditions, the application of lime. ashes
chip dirt, etc, may favor the develop
ment of scab, but are incapable @
causing it.
Alkaline soils, the use of stable ma
.nure, lime, ashes and certain chemi
calls of alkaline nature favor the fun
gus. Acid soils and certain othe
chemicals are unfavorable to it.
Beets and the roots of a few othe
vegetables are attacked by the di:
ease, but the fungus may persist /
infected soil for several years withou
the presence of known host plants.
Badly infested soils should be d.
voted to such crops as grains, grasse
and clovers for as long time as po
sible. Fertilizers favorable to sea
should be avoided and "souring" tn
soil by green manuring is recon
mended.
On clean soils only healthy, dist
fected seed tubers should be used. NJ

legs he cannot travel, and so derises
no benefit from his good parts. Some
horses may be seen whose knees are
not straight, others when looked at
from the front show that thei5 feet
are not in line with their legs. Such
animals are more likely to slip or
strike one leg with the opposite foot,
thus making themselves lame and un-
able to do any work.
There are a great many Interesting
things about a horse whicA cannot be
told here, but which you may learn at
home or from some neighbor wha
keeps good horses. We will, however,
say something about horses feet. In
side a horses hoof there are same
very sensitive parts resembling the
attachment of the fnger-nail and the
finger. When anything gets wrong
with the foot, these parts cause a
great deal of pain and, even though
the horse Is otherwise perfect, the
pain in his feet makes him too lame
to travel. Horses with large, wide

The same day Thomas Taggart and
Crawford Fairbanks, the hackers of
Marshall sent out posters fighting
Watson and county local option. AT
tho same time orders went out that
the fight for the democratic legisla-

must be upheld by the saloon keeps.

makes it still an issue.
And moreover one of the worst fea.

the putting of saloon men into places

County local option is still the issue

Marshall. on the other hand, has
been wavering and evasive. Even if

better governor than the weak kneed

Marshall stands for the lawless in

Watson stands firmly for observ-
