Reminder Of Times When Gentlemen
Met on "FieId Of Honor"
~-A


The years which separate us Amer
leans from dueling are fewer than
most of us realize. The late Prof.
Shaler's Autobiography, in the Allan
tic, has this amusing Renaissance:
1.-THE first occasion was when a
silly cousin of mine with too much
wine in him challenged a well-known
duelist, James Jackson, who as gen
eral fell at Perryville. Fortunately, 1
knew Jackson we'll as a boy of 18 may
know q man of twice his years. I
made my plea to him to give my kins-
man an easy way out. At first he was
obdurate, saying that he would have
MS llfe-he had, indeed, reason to be
vexed-but in the end he told his Sec
ond to fix it up with me. My good,
may say indeed affectionate, rela-
tons with Jackson had begun a year
before In like absurd business in a

trying to have cleaned up. With a

Poison Cure for Potato Scab,

Don't plant potatoes on land on
which scabby crops have, been raised
previously. If seed to be used is
scabby it should be treated as follows:
Dissolve two ounces of corrosive subli-
mate in fifteen gallons Of water, and
before cutting put the potatoes in it
for an hour and a half. Remove, cut,
and plant, or spread out to dry. Cor
rosive sublimate is deadly internal
poison and should not be left where
animals or poultry can drink it, nor
should any of the treated potatoes be
eaten by animals or human beings.
Use wooden vessels, not metal. The
solution may be used as long as it
lasts. Keep treated potatoes out of
and away from bags, baskets or other
receptacles in which scabby potatoes
have been. Formaldehyde, less dan
gerous chemical than corrosive subli-
mate, and therefore little more sat-
isfactory, may be used instead. Mix
one pound Zone pint) of commercial
formaldehyde Gao per cent? with thirty
gallons of water in which potatoes
should be Immersed for two hours.
Placing potatoes to be treated in a
gunny sack and then immersing them
in the solution will be found a very
convenient way of handling them.

Domestic Science,

Domestic science according to
Miss Shepperd, chief of the Domestic
Science division, at the State Expert
ment Station, is that part of a girls
education which specially prepares
her for home maker and renders
her constant dispenser of good
cheer. The object Of the science is
to promote universal good health and
Danish drudgery from the house, to
do which the girls must be led to
constantly apply the facts given in
educational lines to special home
needs, whereby home duties can be
raised from irksome tasks to pleasant
occupations and interesting expert
ments. Domestic science shows the
evil effects which result from improp-
er habits of life in the matter Of
food and drink, and shows the ideal
home conditions. It shows the pro-
cesses of breadmaking, the spelling Of
food, the possible prevention of dis
ease, etc., and impresses the fact that
the place to apply the principles
learned at the University Farm is in
the home.

Potatoes VS. Corn.

In some localities in Minnesota
hardly adapted to corn raising expert
ments show that the potato crop is
well adapted to many large areas, as
money maker, and can be used in
place Of corn as a cleaning crop in
rotation. The production of seed po-
tatoes in the state is becoming an es-
tablished industry, and many other
communities can profitably take up
the work. The potato crop offers one
OF the best propositions for a COM
munity Of interests, whereby the
neighboring farmers can individually
raise a small acreage of a single var
iety and market them as of one man
in large quantities, whereby they will
bring better price than the same
number Of bushels of several varieties
marketed individually. Community
of interest is adopted by the great in
industrial concerns and prosperity
comes to them. Why shall not the
farmers cooperate and do business as
q single man?

her far away amid the throng of
dancers.
AS I caught up the cloak under my
arm something cracked under my fin
gers, and hurrying to dark corner
of the veranda I found the pocket and
drew forth an envelope. My con-
science, confess, was agreeably quies-
cent. You may, if you wish, pronounce
my conduct at several points of this
narrative wholly indefensible; but I
was engaged in a sincere effort to
straighten out the Holbrook tangle,
and Helen had openly challenged me.
II could carry this deception through
successfully I believed that within a
few hours I might bring Henry Hol-
brook to terms. AS for Gillespie, he
was far safer with Rosalind than with
Helen. I thrust the envelope into my
breast pocket and settled myself by
| the veranda rail, where I could look
out upon the lake, and at the same
time keep an eye on the ballroom.
Somewhere beneath heard the
rumble and bang of a bowling-alley
! above the music. Then my eyes, roam
ing the lake, fell upon the casino pier
below. Some one was coming toward
me-a girl wrapped in a long cloak
who had apparently just landed from
boat. She moved swiftly toward the
casino. I saw her and lost her again
as she passed in and out Of the light
OF the pier lamps. A dozen times the
shadows caught her away; a dozen
times the pier lights flashed upon her;
and at last l was aware that it was

surprise she walked up the steps be-
side me. AS we passed the ballroom
door the music climbed to it's climax

Come, let us go to the farther end

When we had reached quiet cor.

DUST FROM THE SOIL.

Every Minnesota farmer is entitled
to have his name placed on the Ex-
tension Division mailing list and to re-
ceive regularly the Farmers Library.
No one should be negligent about re-
questing that the Library be sent. He
should provide means for preserving
the Library for future reference, for
it will be full Of useful hints and sug-
gestions which will prove valuable at
any season of the year.
Water.-Don't put the we'll to
near the privies and barns. Water is
the great source Of typhoid fever,
is easily contaminated with disease
germs through the soil, and should
never be used for domestic purposes
nor for stock when taken from a
we'll located near barns, privies, etc.,
nor where drainage from them can
pollute the water.
The Average Farm in Minnesota is
yielding only about four per cent prof
It on investment. This suggests the
need of better method Of handling
business on the farm and a better
farm management.

Corn W OATS.


The average yield of corn in Mime
sofa, for ten years, has been approx
mately 30 bushels per acre. The aver
age yield of oats in the state, for the
same ten years, has been approximate
~ 81 bushels per acre. Comparing
these two crops by bushels OF yield is
not true comparison from feeders
standpoint. Thirty-two bushels Of oats
weigh, in round numbers, 1000 pounds.
Thirty bushels of shelled corn weigh,
In round numbers, 1900 pounds.
Comparing these feeds with bran
at $4,000 per ton, the acre yield Of
oats, 1000 pounds is. worth $3.50;
while the acre yield. Of corn, 1000
pounds, is worth $17.36. The cost Of
production Of these two crops in Min
nesota IL, including rent. $1o.44 per
acre, for corn husked from standing
stalk, and 1886 per acre for oats, thus
leaving 4 profit of $0.64 from the oat
crop and 1892 from the corn crop.
The above facts make It evident that
greater acreage Of corn Is warranted
IN Minnesota. Results Of the past few
years have shown that Minnesota is
In the corn belt, and that by the use
OF varieties adapted to this location,
yields OF corn above the average of the
best corn states may be expected. This
Is, OF course, based on the superstition
that good seed is put upon a well pre-.
pared soil and given good care. The
rSason the average yield per acre for
the state is less than 30 bushels is be-
cause too many are satisfied to pro.
duce less than an average yield. Let
us have more bushels per acre and
more acres.
