clean with a wet sponge in order to
remove the cryptogamic germs. Any
sprouts should be carefully cut off
with pruning shears, so as not to
bruise the potato. The potatoes
should be half-buried in the vege-
table mold, in rows about four inches
apart. They should be examined oc-
casionally to cut off any sprouts that
may develop. Artificial light should
be used in entering the dark place,
for the least ray of daylight causes
the radicles to grow.
In two or three weeks each potato
will be covered with small white
points, which change, few days lat
er, into rapid growing potatoes.
When these are of reasonable size
they should be removed. This leaves
the old potato, from which in a few
weeks a second crop may be gathered
and there may even be a third since
the budding continues until the old
potato is exhausted, and nothing left
but the skin.

GROWING POTATOES
IN THE nlRE

Purely by accident a new way of
raising new" potatoes of unusual
delicacy of texture and flavor has
been discovered. According to the
Technical World, an English farmer
had left a pile of potatoes in a dark
shed. He found that instead of being
decayed, as he expected, they were
surrounded each by small potatoes,
perfectly white.
He began experimenting with more
old potatoes, which he placed on some
boards in dark place. Small pota-
toes about the size of an English wal
nut surrounded them. The best of
them were selected and cooked, and
were found to be of flavor superior to
new potatoes" cultivated in the Or
binary way. Specimens exhibited in
the London Horticultural Exposition
attracted much attention.
Large, perfect potatoes, without
the slightest particle of mold, should
be selected for this method of prop
agation. Potatoes grown the previous
year are the best. Good crops can
be obtained in a cellar, a cave, or
even room from which the rays of
light can be carefully excluded, for
light causes the potatoes to send
forth sprouts instead of the buds of
small potatoes.
Some dry vegetable mold sifted
very fine should be spread uniformly
three or four inches deep over some
boards. The potatoes must be wiped

Chestnut Blight.

The December number of Forest
Leaves contains an illustrated arti-
Gle on chestnut blight, showing the
spread of the disease in Eastern
Pennsylvania and the cuts exhibiting
its appearance. The article says the
only practical way of destroying the
spores, and thereby checking fur
ther spread of the blight, is to feel
the infected trees and destroy the
bark and brush. Evary particle of
the diseased bark must be destroy
ed. 1t will be seen that where there
is much infection this method would
be practically impractical. The dis
eased trees could be cut down and
the limbs and bark to an extent
burned but all the spores could not
be gathered up. If there is much
infection there seems to be but one
way and that is rather than allow
the trees to die and deteriorate, and
thus lose their value to the owner,
they should be turned into CONNER
cial products as soon as possible.
II is admitted that chestnut lum-
Der east of the present advance line
is doomed unless chestnut owners
learn at once to recognize the blight
and remove all cases according to
recommendation given. Inasmuch
as some owners would not in all
probability 90 to the expense of Grad
icating ii in their trees there would
be plenty left to infect the timber of
those who did. The disease is so
general in the eastern part of the
state that its determination appears
TO be impossible.

Enlisted For Peace.

"The world scout, too. is permanent
~ enlisted for peace. not by having
peace preached to him, for that could
not interest him moment. But as he
is allowed to see the PLAIN, simple
truth about human beings, so he is al
lowed to see the plain truth about war
As he learns that society tries to de
ceive him about the difference be
tween foreigners and folks, so he finds
that society puts up shocking decep.
tion on him about war.
THE world scout Is allowed to see
modern warfare as It really IS. Not Il
fight against foreigners and enemies,
because there are no foreigners, and
those we call foreigners are not enc
mics, but quite the opposite. Not an
adventure in chivalry, because there IS
no more real adventure or glory Of
chlvalry In modern war than there is
in going out into the back yard and
shooting the COW.
"Then, being turned or from follow
ing a false ideal of chivalry, the scout
learns indirectly how to get at the
true. Scouts are started out In twos
and threes to find something good
that needs doing and TO do it. Perhaps
1t is some old woman that needs to be
piloted over a crowded crossing; per
haps a cat or dog TO be rescued from
,ruelty.

The VOGUE OF The
SET IN SLEEVE.
New Models In Waists Show This
Modification Of Styles.

The Dry Goods Economist says In re-
gard to advance styles in waists:
Sleeves of lingerie waists are mostly
three-quarter or elbow length, the full
length finish being seen in the tailored
models. Chiffon waists are also made
with three-quarter or shorter measure
ment. The semi-tailored styles work
ed out In taffeta and messaline show
both long and short sleeves.
The set-in sleeve has been adopted
by practically all large manufacturers.
A few dressy models show sleeve
cap cut In one with the bodice, below
which a draped or gathered sleeve is
arranged, the cuff finish holding the
fullness in below the elbow. This
gives the long shoulder line and also
allows the use Of new ideas In the
sleeve construction.
1t is safe to say. however, that the
set in sleeve is the leader for the new
season. although novel effects are used
to give variety to the lines.
Some OF the new chiffon or fancy
waists show the use of narrow plait-
mgs on both sides OF & wide cuff. while
other fancy cuffs are made of small
pu1ings or lace. In fact, there are
many odd designs seen in the cuffs of
the new waists. and this finish, tOgeth-
er with puffs. drapings and other nov
el arrangements in the sleeve, gives a
new appearance to the models cut on
ines which are otherwise slightly
changed.

A Graceful Desiqn,

The combination of silk and chenille
threads with beads, in both dress trim
mings and fancy work, have led to
some striking results.
For instance, a large couch pillow
was embellished with a mass of en-
broidered pepper branches in graceful
design. The leaves were done in silks
of various shades of green, and the
pepper berries were made by using
scarlet beads Of just about the size Of
the natural berry. The effect was ex-
cellent.

ton which he discovered on the other

abroad. World scouts are entirely diff
ferent from boy scouts. with whom
every one Is more or less familiar. MIR
Mock u the first to bring to this coun
try a complete account of their def
mite, active and practical plan.
OF course the main object of this
new movement Is to bring about the
end OF war. 1t Is an effort to plant in
the young what might be called peace
instinct with a view to developing in
the race instructive hatred for war. |,
is believed that II small boys are ed
ucated in this way they will carr"
into manhood lasting prejudice
against war. 1t 10 a wonderful new
idea. a fash OF genius that finds i'm
mediate response in the boys soul Of
honor. A remarkable and interesting
man In the leader of this movement
Sir Francis Vane. He has got the
youngsters warming up to his idea by
tens upon tens of thousands In FIVE
different European countries.
The suggestion is made by Mr.. Mock
that the movement ought to grow rap
idly in the United States. He nomi-
mates former President Theodore
Roosevelt as leader for the boys of
our country, just as Sir Francis Vane

Like every one else, had looked

little fellow took a risk that grown
ups would not take. 1t was one of the

ing part of scouts job. noticed.
too, that the small hero called himself
a world scout That sounded better.
began to think that either l had
overlooked something or that there
were two kinds of scouts, and pres
entity found out that there are indeed
two kinds Of scouts, differing precisely
on those issues which had Influenced
my own interest.
There are the boy scouts-we have
thousands Of them In the United
StateS-and the world scouts. The
points of difference are these: The boy
scout is trained to believe in two arti.
fetal. false, old fashioned and utterly
exploded ideas-ideas that the world
has no use for. First, he is taught 70
believe In the existence of a large
class Of beings called foreigners; sec
ond. that it is normal, right and, above
all, very glorious and interesting to op.
pose these beings occasionally in the
institution called warfare. The world
scout, on the other hand, Is in these
respects not trained at all. He is sim
ply allowed and encouraged to keep
the natural, true, clear vision of hu.
man beings that he was born with.
He is permitted to grow up in the plain
natural truth that there are no for.
eigners and that warfare modern
warfare-is neither glorious nor inter
esting. but, on the contrary, very sor.
dil and stupid.
"The world scout is allowed to go on
looking at people as they really ar"
and to take them as be finds them,
which is the right way TO take them;
not as he thinks they must be or ought
TO be. \ boy will keep that point Of
view easily If he is permitted. because
it is natural to him. This explains

scouts
