DISCOVER NEW
POTATOE DISEASE
wart Is Enemy of Crop Which
Is Attracting Attention In
Europe and Is Liable to
BE introduced Here.

The wart disease is new enemy of
the potato crop which is attracting
great attention in Europe. and which
is liable 10 be introduced into the
United States at any time. 1t affects
the tubers, forming large rough un-
slightly warts. and. in severe attacks.
completely destroys the crop. Once
the fungus gets into the soil. 1t is i'm
possible to grow crop Of potatoes on
the land for several years.
The fungus which causes this dis
ease was discovered In 1896 in po-
tatoes grown in Hungary. 1t is now
prevalent In many places in England
and there Is great danger that 1t may
spread to Ireland. II IL also found in
Germany and some other European
countries It has been carried to
Newfoundland. but has not yet ap.
peared in the United States.
It is spread by using affected po-
tatoes for seed. and. AZ this country
imports considerable quantities Of 20
tatoes every year. there II danger that
II may be introduced.
The United States department Of
agriculture has recently issued circu.
lar for free distribution. giving . brief
account Of this disease.

In the latter part of winter my skin
commenced cracking open. tried

hospital, but finally got as far as Lam

I earnestly prayed to die. Cracked

feet badly swollen; toe-nails came on;
hnger-nails dead and hard as bone;

In buying your breeding stock BE-
sure and get good strong. healthy
birds. Don't go around among your
neighbors and buy few OF the cheap
est scrub turkeys that you can md,
but be willing to pay . good price and
be satisfied with nothing but good
birds. The secret Of turkey raising is
to get the young turkeys we'll started
Eternal vigilance is the price Of
success. The young turkeys will not
need any feed for "a hours after
Matching. And then don't feed too
much at time. but feed often.
Turkeys enjoy variety in feeds.
Table scraps are good and the term
should include not only portions OF
cooked food. but rinds. grape seeds.
apple cores, etc. While grain should
be the basis for satisfactory ration.
these accessories are very helpful.
The potatoes which are too small for
table use. II boiled and salted little.
are devoured greedily By fowls. They
should be fed twice = week At least.
The more we try to domesticate and
confine them the more susceptible
they become to disease. Even in the
most severe weather. turkeys should
be allowed to roost out doors and for.
age as widely as they please.
There Is only one sort Of weather
from which 1t is advisable to house
the birds. This is the wet. sleety
weather, when snow or ice may cling
and freeze to their plumage. When
such night impends the old turkey
raiser rounds up the flock and gently
drives the whole aggregation into q
large. roomy shed kept ready for the
purpose. The next morning they are
set at liberty bright and early. fed.
and then allowed to roam again. But
II the nights are dry. no matter how
cool the season. they are allowed to
roost In the air. away up in the
branches OF the large trees near the
barn.
Turkeys are very different from
other farm fowls. They are brought
to the most prime condition when al
lowed the most freedom. They should
no more be forced to eat and drink
with chickens and ducks than horses
should be obliged to feed with hogs.
They should be fed at the barn daily.
but be more or less free to forage in
the corn lot. the grain field and the
meadow and wood lands. If not too far
from home.

Inspector H. haywood, OF the

Staten Island for the past week or
more In the interest of the govern
ment, watching the perfecting Of the
La Croix Automatic Signal System
that is being put up on the Amboy

and Dongan Hills, for experimental
purposes.
Last year the government appro-
priated $4,000 for the use Of the
interstate commerce commission to
take UP such matters as these In the
interest of the railroads throughout
the country. Fred LaCroix, the In
ventor of this automatic signal sys-
tenn, Is working hard to get every
thing In readiness for an official test
in a short time. Several OF the en-
| gines have been equipped with the
system and each day Mr.. LaCroiz
and his electricians go over the road
and make unofficial tests. So fai
everything has been satisfactory.
Considerable interest is being
shown by railroad officials from
other roads in this part of the coun'
try who are watching and waiting
for the test that is to be made. i
is expected that many head officials
will be here at the time.
