WIRELESS SWEET POTATOES.
Value of II New Plant Established
Beyond Question by Various Exper-
nlcntS il. This Country.

Some farmers Of S~angan1On county
Illinois, during the last season have
grown sweet potatoes without vines
and rs this variety has never been
grown in the north to any exten:
there has been p great deal Of specu-
latlOn owe the ~"diScOyery'' Of this
new plant.
Nlneless sweet potatoes, so called,
are not very we'll known, though they
have been grown in some parts Of the
south for many years. Doubtless the
Illinois farmers got some of the seed
OF this variety from the south with
out knowing what IL was.
hhe place of origin of this variety
is somewhat in dispute and the prob
ability is that it was independently
originated by at least two men. One
report seems to give satisfactory evil
dence that it was found in 1884 on
the plantation Of George Harvey, near
Colum u Miss. in a field of the old
fashioned yam sweet potatoes. BY
1893 this variety had been written up
for most Of the leading agricultural
papers by G. c. L. Dill, of pittsburgh.
Miss, according to his own statement.
Another report of the origin of a
Vlne,ess sweet potato which seems
authentic was given in the Atlanta
Weekly Constitution for December
&c. 1888. In an article in that Issue
by A. 6. Paddleford, Of Edwards.
Miss, he states that his father, T. D.
Paddleford, found the strain in 1865
IN a field of the "old-fashioned long
vine YAM h particular hill from
which the variety was propagated had
very short and ''heavily set vines"
with the leaves set close together on
the stems, was Exceedingly productive
and had potatoes large in size and
splendid for table use" The potatoes
were found to be set close around the
stem or root, forming a cluster. The
vines measured two to three feet long
when fully grown and covered the

Gle goes on to state that during the
succeeding year this new strain out

sheen men construct their watts as
narrow as sixteen inches at the top
and six inches at the bottom when
the vat is four feet deep. The size or
shec~ kept on a farm must Oh course,
be taken into consideration.
The dipping vat used at the Ken
t,,ckv experiment station is located
in the driveway of the hoghouse and
can be used for the dipping OF sheep
and young pigs. 1t is built entlrely
of concrete, the walls of which are
six inches in width, with h excep-
ton Of the partition between the vat
and dry chamber, which has a thick
ness Of nine inches. The end OF the
vat into which the hogs and sheep
are plunged is perpendicular, while
the opposite end is provided with an
incline which is quite deeply ease
so that the animal can walk out.
The door around the end of the vat
graded that all drippings return to
the vat. There are sewer connec-
tons with this outfit, the valve Of
which is located in the dry chamber.
The dry chamber allows the
to carefully contro. the dipping,
break up thick scabs with a brush,
and, if necessary help the sheep up
the incline, and also go to the lie
of o sheep quickly if it shows signs
of strangling. This vat is quite in
expressive.
A chute like this can be built with
little trouble. The incline to the
vat should be made Of smooth lum-
Der and CREASED when hogs or sheep
are dipped. In dipping animals the
second time they usually remember
the first experience and endeavor to
jump the length of the vat unless the
swing door is attached to the end of
the chute. AS an extra blind to
either sheep or hogs a board can be
fixed on a pivot and hori-
zintally from the. ton Of the chute
toward the vat. The sheep imagines
it a level surface on which to walk,
only to find. as one or two steps are
taken, that the end towards the vat
tips down, plunging hi n quickly into
the vat.

ing to Try.

Those who suffer from catarrh

of this suffering. You can get rid OF
it by a simple, safe, inexpensive,
home treatment discovered by DR..
Blosser, who, for Owe thirty-hVe
years, has been treating catarrh sue
cessfully.
His treatment is unlike any other.
1t is not a pray, douche, salve, cream,
or inhaler, out is a more direct n
thorough treatment than any OF these.
It cleans out the head, nose, throat
and lungs so that you can again
breathe freely and sleep without
that stopped-up feeling that all ca
tarrh sufferers have. 1t heals the dis
eased mucous membranes and arrests
the foul discharge, SO that you will not
be constantly blowing your nose and
splitting, and at the same time it does
not poison the system, and ruin the
stomach, as internal medicines do.
If you want to test this treatment
without cost, send your address to DIR.

DIPPING FOR SHEEP SCAB.
The Advantages Are Great and livery
Sheep Raising Farmer Should Make
Provision for Dipping HIS Flock.
BY EDWIN S. GOOD.

Scabby sheep should be dipped at
the first opportunity, for if kept until
Shearlng tine most of the wool may be
lost and the vitality of the animal
greatly reduced. All sheep badly af-
tiicted with the disease should, be-
fore beins dipped. have the thick
scabs sOftened by pouring some of
the dip on them and rubbing them
with a smooth stick, care being taken,
however not to draw blood, for upon
coaSulation it is likely to protect the
mite from the dip. They should
then be allowed to stand for at least
half an hour before being put into
the bath. Each sheep should be i'm
nersed in the dip for two minutes by
the watch, the head being tucked at
least once just before the animal
energies from the vat. Within ten
to fourteen days the dipping should
be repeated in order to kill all mites
Matched since the first dipping, as the
eggs are more resistant to the dips
than are the mites.
Sheep may be dipped in the winter
in many localities, but warm, dry
days must be selected for the purpose
and the dipping discontinued in the
middle of the afternoon. If the sheep,
after being dipped. are allowed to
stand for a few hours on the sunny
side Of a barn hey will not chill as
quickly as if turned inside a building

Dipping watts can be made of wood.
metal or concrete. A farmer owning
as many as twenty-five sheep should
have a good dipping vat. For a
smaller number than this the barrel
used to scald the pigs will do if the
farmer feels tina he cannot afford

galvanized vat ten feet long and four
rect deep, made purposely for dip
ping, can be purchased for about S12.
There are smaller sizes than this hat

Three or four farmers a club to-
gether and pur purchase one Of the
galvanized tanks and haul it to their
respective farms as it is wanted. A
dipping vat for sheep should be mar
row enough to prevent the sheep
turning around in it, and deep enough
to swim large sheep. The length of
the vat should depend upon the num-
Der OF sheep a man keeps on his
place. as the longer the vat the
greater the number of sheep which
can be dipped in a day. Their is con.
siderable variation as to the width Of
watts found on different farms, and as
A usual thing they are wider than
necessary. Then, too, the narrower
the vat the less the dip required to
fill it. A vat twenty inches wide at
the top and eight inches wide at the
bottom is a fair average as regards
width, although some very practical<

which a be indorsed. There are two
other strains which have not proved
as productive, and many of the par
tial failures reported are attributed to
these having been used instead Of the
one good strain.
The foliage of these two inferior
strains is uuch less dense and the
stems of the leaves are not nearly SO
long nor SO heavy as those Of the
strain Endorsed. IN one of these two
strains not recommended there is q
wide range Of variability in vines, tops
and tubers. One has loige of small
size and less dense on the vine than
the other, the vines measuring from
four to eight feet. The tubers of one
are just like those of the parent Va
riety, While those OF the other are
reddish yellow and resemble very
much the pumpkin type. The strain
recommended is the only true vine

to four feet long, with heavy, dense
