Early blight is a potato disease
which causes more or less damage TO
the crop every year. The trouble Is
most marked in unusually dry sea-
sons and is caused by fungus which
grows and spreads rapidly. The spores
of this fungus when seen through a
microscope have the appearance of
clubs They enter the vines and the
first thing one notices is that the
leaves are turning yellow. The disease
is likely to come during the first or
second week in July. 1t may be easily
prevented by spraying with Bordeaux
mixture before the disease gets hold
on the crop. After it has start it is
of no use to spray, because the spores
are already inside the vines
In order to kill the potato beetle at
at the same time, one-fourth OF a
pound of Paris green may be added to

Feeding Whole Grain.

Bulletin No. 242 of the Michigan Ex-
data upon the subject of feeding whole
grain to cows, heifers and calves.
When whole grain was fed to cows, 20
per cent was unmasticated; when fed
to heifers, 10 per cent; when fed to
calves, per cent. Chemical analysis
showed no change in composition of
the unmasticated parts, so 1t is a safe
assumption that. the animal derives
no benefit from grain that passes
through the digestive tract unaltered.

CHAPTER Xxx,

From the balcony we sighted a schoon-
or lying between the beach and the Shift
Ing Shoal. A long-boat was in the water,
and men were hurriedly manning it.
Below us on the beach stood Duponnceau.

dozen of his enemies, who were between
him and the cottage. l would have leap

the matter was too far gone for that.
Duy2nceau fred quickly, steadily, then
wheeled and ran for the dunes. Bullets
chased him, ploughed into the sand be-
hind him, whizzed past him, but by some
miracle failed to hit him. He reached
the nearest sand-wall, and was hidden
from us. A moment later and we saw
him appear, his pistols reloaded, and
watched him stand again at bay and
shoot. Then again he fled for the next
dune up the beach, and the pursuers, tenn
porarily stayed, were after him again.
1t was to be running fight, stand and
deliver, then hide, until the long-boat
should ground upon Ne beach and the
fugitive spring into 1t. l looked to the
boat and prayed that 1t might come quick
ly, but the distance was long, and the sea
RULED and choppy.
Again Duponceau appeared, and again
the enemy were held at bay, and dropped
and ducked and lodged as his bullets few
among them.
A moments stand, and he was hidden
in the next dune, loading, making ready
for another dash. 1t was breathless,
speechless work. Rodney and l gripped
our glasses, shut our teeth, watched and
hoped and prayed. Again the enemy were
on, after him, gaining fast, and again he
shot out from the dunes. and, . lone fg-

Rodney thought. THE poor French
-workingmen, the widows and orphans,
who had saved and saved, gave him ev-
'erything they had, because he knew how
to make money multiply as no one else
did. He drew them pictures of the great
factories and stores and hotels he would
build for them with their money, and told
them how by adding their int~'te mites
together they might produce something gi-
gantic. How about them left without a
sou"
1T was their own lookout" l tried to
argue.
Well" said Rodney, ''the right and
wrong of this sort of thing lie deep, but
1t may be that a man has no right to
use his own Imagination to see for other
people that he can build air-castles only
for himself"
Perhaps" l agreed "but, as you say,
If he had sucreeded, he would have been
a hero"
That's all the difference. However, he
didn't, and so he's an outcast" Rodney
laughed. "And to think that I've been
doing my best to defend the worst scape-
grace the market has known in years."

We sat silent for some time, each intent
on his own thoughts.
Ought we to tell him that we know?"
Rodney said finally.
Il was wondering. Perhaps we should,
but l don't believe we can. When you
face him and look into those clear black
eyes and hear that voice doubt if therell

from the beach. We turned and made

Picking Hops.

There are two drawbacks to hop
picking One is so-called hop poison
ing, which is simply sort of prickly
heat or rash, sometimes produced by
contact of face and arms with the
nettle-like fuzz on the stalks of the
hop vine. 1t does not affect all pick
ers. The other is the dark staining of
the hands resulting from the resin Of
the blossom. 1t may be removed with
the crushed green leaves Of the hop.

spraying can be done quite cheaply.
The cost of four sprayings is estimated
at S1.S5 per acre. This includes the
cost of labor also. In Vermont a trial
was conducted by one hundred farm
ers to test the value of this spray The
period covered five years, and the re-
suit was the increase Of 70 per cent
in yield. The high value of Bordeaux
mixture as a preventive of early blight
has been proved many times, and
should not be overlooked by anyone
who expects to raise good crop of
potatoes.

President Sternberg's Address.
Gen. Sternberg in his report reviewed
the work Of the association for the past
year and made a plea for financial sup
port from the citizens of Washington TO
aid the association in it's labors. He also
reviewed what he termed the direct or
indirect cause of tuberculosis and length
of time 1t takes the disease in some IN
stances to develop.
Evidently the first requisite in the
prevention of an infectious disease. ne
said, rs precise knowledge with refer
which it is communicated from the SICK
to susceptible persons. This 'knoWiedee
we have. We know the germ. we know
where it is found, we know how to de-
stroy it and we know that there can be
no tuberculosis in the absence of the
germ.
This being the case, our first duty is
apparent-viZ., to disseminate this knoWl-
edge so that every man, woman and child
in the District of Columbia may know
where the danger lies and how it is to
be avoided.
TT is evident, therefore. that cam
paign for the prevention of the disease
must include an effort to secure the cure
of all durable cases and the segregation
of advanced cases in sanatoriums and
hospitals, where home conditions are
such as to endanger other members OF
the family.
There can be no doubt that every case
of tuberculosis comes. either directly or
indirectly, from a preceding one or hu-
man or bovine tuberculosis. The evidence
indicates that infection usually occurs
from intimate association with a some
what advanced case of the disease. al

infection occurs before the symptoms OF

New Steamer Named Three Rivers.

The new steamer in process of con-
struction at Baltimore for the Mary
land, Delaware and Virginia Railway
Company is to be named the Three
Rivers, after the Potomac, Patuxent and
Rappahannock rivers on which her own
ers operate steamer lines. The hull of the
new craft. il is stated, will be launched
Saturday next at the works of the Mary
land Steel Company at Sparrows Point,
near Baltimore. and she viii be ready
for service early in the spring of the
coming year. The Three Rivers is to be
one of the handsomest of the fleet OF
steamers running out of Baltimore and,
it Is said, she will perform her first
service on the route between this city,
the lower river landings and Baltimore.
Unlike most of the new steamers built in
recent years. she is to be side-wheel
vessel OF light draft, to allow her to run
into the shoal creeks along the lower
river.
