When visiting the London Zoo. an
Englishman who had seen service in
India got permission for his children
to ride on one of the elephants. After
the ride he wished to give the beast
a bun and to make him say Please"
using in this connection the phrase
"Salaam kuro" (make a salaam).
The man animal regarded the man
grayely for some time, eagerly cycling
the bun in his hand. At last memory
came to the pachyderm's aid, and up
went his trunk, and he made a most
correct salaam.
The beasts keeper was much as.

meant. The Britisher explained that
1t was point Of good manners for an
elephant to raise his trunk up to his
forehead If anyone was going to feed
him, and that frequently elephants
would ask IN this polite manner for
something when they encountered
anyone who seemed likely to offer
them food.
The keeper assured the visitor that
he had never seen the elephant do this
before, and that he had been In
charge of the beast since its arrival
from India long time since. For II
years this animal had never heard
these words, and had always taken
mis- food without this mark OF good
manners.-The Sunday Magazine.

PLANT DIsEAsE.FREE POTATOES
Farmers Should Guard Against Scab
~. and Brown BOT 80. (.

Farmers Should Guard Against scab
and Brown Rot.
There are in Minnesota a number
of potato diseases which must be
dealt with at this time Of the year,
The reason for this is that the dis
eases are carried in the .'seed'' pota-
toes and in the soil. In order to pro,
.duce a diseasefree crop, it is there
fore necessary that only disease-free
potatoes be used, and that these be
planted on clean soil.
The two best known potato diseases
which must be dealt with in this way
are the common scab' and the Gin
ternal brown rot It is scarcely nee
essary to describe scab, since every
one is familiar with it. The inter.
nal rot, however, is probably not SO
well known. Up to the present time
it does not seem to have done a very
great amount of damage. However, i;
is probably more prevalent than is
generally supposed. Various lots oil
stored potatoes, examined for the in
ternal rot, showed an average OF
about one-fifth of the tubers in vari
GUS stages of decay. 1t has beer
seen in practically all sections of the

spread It is nor difficult to recog-
nize it: it is 4 TRY, brown rot: begin
ming in the stem end of the tubers.
Sometimes secondary soft rots appear
thus fastening the decay of the pota-
to.
Preventive methods are simple. To
prevent scab, the ''seed" potatoes
should be soaked in formaldehyde So
luton Zone pint of formaldehyde in
80 gallons OF water) for two hours.
They should then be planted in soil
which has grown no potatoes for from
three to five years. The brown rot
can not be prevented by the Tornado
hyde treatment. Only clean "seed"
should be planted. II there is brown
rot in the lot of 'seed" potatoes, they
should be sorted, and only those
showing no symptoms of brown or
soft rot should be planted Three
years does not seem to be a long
enough period for eliminating the dis
ease from the soil; so, if brown rot
has been present in a field, potatoes
should not be grown on the same land
for at least four or ave years.-E. c..
