Crop Expert Issues Warnings in WhicA
He Tells Farmers How to Avoid
Having Scabby Potatoes

How to successfully plant and care
for crop of potatoes is set out al
length by Professor Geller, crop expert
for the South Shore. Explaining the
methods to be pursued he said in part:
There is great danger in obtaining
poor crops of potatoes on account of =
few simple principles which involve
handling potato crop. While we re-
alize that most of our farmers know
how to raise potatoes as they have been
flrming, for number of years in the
old country, we feel sure that at many
times they are puzzled after putting
conscientious hard work to meet with
failure when the harvest time comes.
We are sure that most of our farmers
have noticed some wrinklng and some
dry spots on the potato. These spots
are due to certain disease which affect
the potato "scab."
"Scabby potatoes are not wanted ON
the market and naturally mean det-
riment to those farmers who have raised
potatoes in large acreage, and of course
a burdensome and great loss in dis
posing of them. This disease called
'scab" could be done away with if the
farmers will treat their potatoes in the
following manner:
Take the potato rs it is, wash Il
clean of all dirt, then put it il burlap
bag, bushel at time and dip it in the
following solution: Take one pint of
formaldehyde and mix this with 25 gaL
Ions of water, After you have this
mixed thoroughly with stick, dip the
potato which you have placed in bag
in this solution and hold it there for Is
to 20 minutes. While the potatoes am
suspended in this solution keep on stir
ring the water with stick and from
time to time raise up the bag and dipf
again. This treatment will prevent the
next crop from becoming scabby.
How TO PREPARE SEED.
There are many ways for planting
potatoes but the one fonnd best for our
purposes is to cut the potataes long
wise in four pieces. Cut first ints
halves, then each half again in two
Be sure and have on each piece two to
three eyes, in no case less than two
In cutting the potatoes into halves ank
quarters with the knife and in wanting
4 4
potato eye, incline your knife in such
way so that you do not cut the eye. So
when we say to cut the potatoes in four
parts we do not mean exactly four parts
but cut it as nearly as you can to four
parts longitudinaily and be sure that
you have not less than two, eyes on each
piece, if you have three so much the,
b ,tter.

PLAYING CARDS UNCHANGED.

Quite apart from their use in vari-
Gus games, playing cards are an in
teresting study from historic and
pictorial points Of view. There are
four suits, representing four classes
of people as they were divided at the
time the pack of cards we now use
was devised by the French. The
"spades' stood for pikemen or SOL
diers, the ''clubs" for clover, typify-
ing farmers, the diamonds" for
building titles, representing artisans,
and the ''hearts" for choirmen or &C.
clesiastics. The ''kings" and
queens at that time were more or
less correct likenesses of certain
royal and noble personages. Even in
our modern packs it is said that one
of the ''queens" is a conventionalized
portrait of Elizabeth of York, who
was engaged to the Dauphin Of
France. The "knaves'' were then the
kings testers, and even these cards
may be portraits. All the court cards,
in fact, retain their sixteenth cen.
fury characteristics. Cards are
amongst the few things that have not
changed with the centuries.

SOME STORIES Of NAPOLEON
illustrating the Difference Between
His Regime and That Of the
French Kings.

One evening at Fontainbleau the
French comedian had just played the
Marriage lie Figaro in the presence
of the emperor. When the curtain
had fallen Marechal Lannes ex-
claimed:
"When / think that formerly I
almost had myself trampled on and
smothered to see that comedy! Well !!
today l see nothing amusing in it. !"
CHATS BECAUSE" replied Napo-
icon, cat that time you were in the
pit and now you are in the first
boxes"

The emperor has often been seen
dctaching his own cross Of the Lee
gion of Honor to place it himself on
the breast of hero. Louis XIV.
would first have asked if the brave
man was a noble; Napoleon asked if
the noble was brave. A sergeant
who in battle had performed prodi-
gies of valor, was brought before
Louis XIV. 81 grant You pension
Of 1900 livres," said the king.
''Sire, l should prefer the cross of
Saint Louis"

Napoleon would have embraced
the sergeant, Louis XIV. turned his
back on him. It is the decided dis
tinction which separates the two
epochs.

The emperor's presence in the
army produced a great effect. Every
one had the blinidest confidence in
him; it was known by experience
that his plans would bring victory !;
so that, when he arrived our forces
were morally doubled. But this per-
petuity Of combats tired the old sol
diers, the old officers and the old

hesitate to say so, which prevented no
one from doing his duty when the oc-

LINCOLN.

1t is good for use to study the
lives of great men at any time. 1t
tends to kindle the fires of patriot
ism in any soul and makes us hold
new conceptions of what it means
to be an American. 1t is the stand
ard of Lincoln citizenship, state
craft and politics that makes each
rearing birthday of that great
man a peculiarly fitting time for
orators ali over the land to speak
70 The people upon governmental
questions, imbued as they no
doubt are with the firm belief that
their measures are both wise and
rlgiit and that they will have
more earnest ring if uttered upon
the birthday of, and in connection
with eulogy of that great man.
That is why next Monday night
the moulders of public opinion
the leaders in politics all over the
country, will draw examples from
his noble life and attempt to apply
them to present needs; that is why
the people listen to them upon
such occasions little more care
fully than usual; that is why even
a humble editor in a remote part
OF the land should not let the event
go by unnoticed.
We admire Lincoln because of
his wonderful rise from obscurity
TO greatness. We love to honor
his memory because Our fathers
loved him and because he loved
justice. We study his life because
we want to know more about that
brand of energy and virtue that
could raise man from humble
back-woodsman to the greatest of
presidents. His life is intensely
inspiring to the great mass of peo-
pie because it demonstrated, as
has the life of many other Ameri-
cans. that here is a government,
that this is land where greatness
is measured by the deeds of the
Individual and not the station in
which he may be born. The more
We know OF Lincoln the more we
love our country and the higher
will be our standard of citizenship.
