Treatment of Seed Potatoes
to Prevent Scab

The subject of the treatment of
seed potatoes to prevent scab was
brought to the attention Of the Divis
ion of Economic Zoology of the De-
partment of Agriculture of Pennsyl-
vania by Mr.. R. } Belt of Wells
vile, York Co., Pa, Treasurer of
the Wells Whip Company. Mr. Belt
treated his potatoes of bichloride of
mercury, having dissolved 2 ounces
of corrosive sublimate in l6 gallons
of water. Three times this quantity
of the mixture was used on 40 bush
els of potatoes.
State ZOologist a. A, Surface re-
piled that he prefers formalin to cor
rosive sublimate for potato scah
treatment. This is because the for
mslin, or formsldehyde, dissolves
Immediately in water, il being a
liquid itself when in the commercial
form, and 1t does not corrode any ma
tsrial by coming in contact with and
drying upon it as the corrosive sub
Innate might do. After having killed
the disease germs it evaporates and
is gone, so that no evil aftereffects
can come from it. 1t is quickly and
easily prepared, and its action upon
ones hand will not be anywhere
near as serious as the corrosive sub
Innate solution.
To prepare the mixture put thirty
gallons Of water into a barrel, to
which add one pint of the formalin
solution. This about equals one-hall
ounce to q gallon. This may appear
weak, but it is strong enough to de-
stroy the scab germs. Put the potH-
toes in bags and the bags into bar
rels, and pour enough of the fore.
going solution of formalin and water
into the barrel to cover the bags and
let stand for an hour. After that
take the potatoes out of the bags and
let them drain Other potatoes can
be put in the bags and immersed for
the treatment. The liquid can DO
used again and again as long as any
remains. IL should be kept covered
to prevent escape Of the fumes or
evaporation, and it would be well to
strengthen 1t occasionally by adding
little more of the solution. The
potatoes can be treated either before
or after cutting, but if they are not
20 be planted soon, dipping before
cutting is best They can be dried
in crates or in barrels, or spread on
the barn floor, after the same has
been swept completely and scrubbed
with a solution of the formalin or
bichloride, whichever is being used.

The BOyles Sentenced

James Boyle, who was convicted
at Mercer, Pa, for kidnapping WI
lie Whitla of Sharon, has been SEN
tenced to imprisonment for life, and
his wife who was also convicted for
ths same crime was sentenced to
twenty five years In prison and q Ane
Of $4,000. They had a fairly good
time for a few weeks out In Ohio
after they got the boy, and now they
will have ample leisure to repenS.
The sentence though severe is not
harsh considering the offense and
may deter other evil minded persons
who contemplate such schemes Of
& ting money.

NOTES FROM
SANDYSTON

There is no doubt that a prompt
eGort will be made to strengthen
the commodities clause of the rail.
road rate law. On Thursday of this
week a bill was introduced by Rep
resentativs Irving P. Wanger of
Pennsylvania, 10 correct those de-
feots In the law made clear by the
recent decision of the Supreme court.
Mr. Wanger il the ranking membot
Of the Interstate Commerce Commit
tee of the House, and lie prominently
mentioned ss the successor of Repre-
sentative Hepburn as chairman of
the committee. He aided material
~ in framing the rate law. His bill
provides specifically that railroads
shall be prohibited from owning
stock or securities or interest in any
other business enterprise and from
transporting any commodities, the
property of such company, which
are not intended for their own use.
Mr.. Wanger has little hope OF action
on his resolution at the present ses-
sion. but it is believed that Presi-
dent Taft's next message to Congress
will be so direct on this point that
his bill. or similar one, will be
taken mp Immediately.
The sixteen battleships of the At.
lantic feet wilFleave the navy yards
on June 18th radically changed In
outward appearance and will be in a
condition for action which has not
heretofore prevailed in time of peace
and when there was no prospect of
war. These important changes are
mainly the result IF experience
gained during tine circumnavigatiDg
cruise Of the feet, which Secretary
Meyer says cost the government 81,
500, 900 above what would have been
the cost of maintenance and opera
tion had the ships renamed in home
waters. Naval strategists look upon
this extra expense as a premium paid
for the benefit of increased naval eff
ficienoy and as representing an in.
vestment most useful in improving
tue hitting power of the naval arm.
The most conspicuous change
which the civilial observer will rec
ognize is in the color of the vessels.
The hull, small boats, and indeed, all
of the exposed portions will be of q
shade described as dull gray, with.
out the lustIe to reflect the sun or
otherwise add TO the conspicuousness
of the ship. 1t is the color decided
upon by the experts as least likely to
attract attention and as possessing
the greatest degree of invisibility.
In carrying ont this idea all of the
brass fittings, even to the door knobs
have been removed and the bow or
naments and gilt letters of the ships
names have been abandoned.

Do Not Spray Blossoms

The owners OF fruit trees who In.
tend spraying their trees to prevent
diseases and kill the codling moth
larya, are advised by Prof Surface
of the Division of EeOaomie zaslaggl
of tho Pennsylvania Department. Of
Agriculture not to spray the bios
SONS, bat to wait until after the psf
ais have dropped, or more than three
fourths are down. Injury will b
caused to the blossoms IL they are
sprayed when open, but the spraying
should not be delayed after the bios
SONS have fallen. To secure the
best results the spray must be Hp-
piled within six days after the bios
SONS fall, and a second spraying
should he done ten days or two
weeks after the first application -
prove effectual.
The proper spraying material is
the Bordeaux Mixture to which IN
Arsenlcal poison such as Paris green
or arsenGte of lead is added. There
are two spraying strengths for thiC
liquid according to the hardness Of
the tree or plant to be sprayed.
Spray the apple, pear, ounce ard
potato with the strong fotnula which
calls for lbs blusstons and 4 lba Of
quick lime in so gallons OF water,
with one or two lbs of arsenate Of
lead added to this. If Paris green lie
used, instead Of ths arsenate OF lead.
one third ID should be used to each
SO gallons.
The weak formula calls for about
one hall of the above quantities OF
bluestone, lime and Rrsenate of lead
ia so gallons of water. This - used
on peach and plum trees on account
of their tender bark, aud on similar
dslicate plants. Peach and plum
trees do not need to be sprayed i'm.
mediately after blossOmiug, bat
these and the grapes should b
sprayed for wormy fruit, making
The application after the fruit reaches
the sizs of buckshot.

Object to Strong Medicines.

Many people object to taking the
strong medicines usually prescribed
by physicians for rheumatism. There
is no need of internal treatment in
any case of muscular or chronic rheu-
matism, and more than nine cut of

one or the other of these varieties.
When there is no fever and little (if
