Don't make fun Of the plug. He may

fellow who in the end will bring homo
the coin. says Kansas City writer.
The plug horse that pulls tho lisser
all day In the fleid puts more money
In the bank for the honest farmer
than the race horse that goes out ana
turns half In 0:b0 nat and then loafs
for two weeks waiting for another
race to be matched. The old plug
goes out in sunshine and storm ana
pulls in q few dollars every week. but
the race horse waits for the day when
the track Il good and then generally
loses more than he wins. The steady
old plug keeps the woh from the door.
while the race horse causes the mort
gage to bc foreclosed.
Just % with the man. Pin your
faith to the plug who keeps eternally
at it: the fellow who gets up every
morning and does 30 much and 10
ready to do 1t again next day. He
lays up more shining dollars in the
bank than the swift sport who lies
around all summer waiting for luck
to come along and turn q stream Of
silver into his pocket One cackling
Plymouth Rock hen is worth q dozen
screaming eagles when 1t comes to
paying on the mortgage. The plug
is the fellow who steadies the ship
and acts as ballast when the boat be-.

who lives contentedly and long and

says, "He leaves his family in com.

The best wa}3t to clean drinking

the fountain about q quarter full of

Shake the vessel briskly SO that the
shot will scrape along the bottom and

because It is often more fertile, but
brown rot of the subers is apt to be
worse on such soils
Soil which has produced a scabby
crop OF potatoes should be avoided,
because the scab spores live over In
the soil and will cause more or less
scab on the tubers Tor Eve or six
years afterward.
Potatoes grow well on any slope,
but a northern slope Is most desir.
able, because on It the crop will suf-
fer less during hot dry weather.
Good drainage is important Pota-
toes will stand less excess of moisture
than other common farm crops, and
artificial drainage should be provided
wherever natural drainage is at all
deficient. Potatoes rot more in low,
wet land tnan in we'll drained upland
In years when rot occurs. The same
is true OF heavy soils compared with

(By b. f. KAUPP, Pathologist COLORADO

The symptoms usually noted are
as follows: The bird begins TO NOPE
remains on the roost with feathers
ruffied, head down and wings more
or less droopy; the bird presents
bali appearance. The bird is
weak, and diarrhea is present The
discharge is OF a greenish.yelow col.
or The bird usually lives from
three days to a week.
We have studied this disease and
conducted experiments with it in
chickens, turkeys and ducks.
When the abdominal cavity is
opened. the liver will be noted TO be
much larger than normal, and darker
The spleen may be enlarged. The in
testines are congested and may ap-
pear inflamed.
As to treatment: The henhouse
and yards should be cleaned thor,
oughly. The house and, so far as
possible, the yard, should be sprayed
once a day with a five per cent sou-
ton of carbolic acid, zenoleum or ere
olin. Birds should be watered from
drinking fountains. These should be
cleaned and disinfected once a day,
using disinfecting solution same
strength as for house and yards. The
feed should be given In trougus
which are so constructed as not 10
allow stepping into them. These
should be cleaned and disinfcciai
once or twice a day. AS the germs
escape from the sick birds from The
discharge, the birds, as soon as d..
ticed to be ailing, should be de-
stroyed and burned, or at least sep
arated so as TO prevent further disiI'

trouble with most of them is that they
leave pieces without eyes.
A rapid method of cutting seed po-
tatoes by hand is to stick a sharp
knife firmly into board and cut the
tubers by pushing them against the
knife. This enables the use of both
hands on the tubers. When using the
knife in the hand for cutting seed po-
tatoes, the best method of cutting is
to begin at the stem end of the tuber
and cut pieces off diagonally, turning
the tuber on its axis as necessary
with the cutting of each piece as the

Among the first of the passengers

old son, whose large eyes shone with
excitement from beneath the rolls of
