Rumors of Defective Engineer Work.
President Todd stated that only two
complaints had been received at the Off

Old Town branch, the complaint was
found to be well grounded and the en-
gineer was taken off, and that in the
other case it had been found that the
accident was the result of a conspiracy
against the engineer, who was in no
way at fault.
President Todd said that the published

Potato Diseases.

I have recently returned from trip
through certain parts of Idaho, and
have found in various parts two po-
tato diseases that should receive at
tention at this time. These are the
Fusarium dry rot and potato scab. In
view of the fact that both Of these
diseases may spread rapidly, and in
time may become very serious trou-
bles, 1t is necessary for potato grow
ers to practice certain methods of
culture that will hold the diseases in
check.
Both of these diseases will cause
great financial loss If no efforts are
made to eradicate them Both are
caused by parasitic fungous organ
isms living at the expense OF the po-
tato tuber. They are plant beings as
much as the potato, but they cannot
make their own food They have nu-
merous minute reproductive bodies
that cannot be seen without a mi
croscope. These bodies, called spores,
may live three or four years in the

tanned the great percentage of water,
there appears to be very good reason
for the criticism noted above in so far
as it applies to Strawberries. It is
not SO apparent that the same cri-
ticism is justly applicable in rasp-
berries; for, as indicated by the re-
suits of analysis, the sugar content of
the irrigated black and the irrigated
white berries was practically identi-
cal with that of the non-irrigated and
appreciably greater in the case of red
ones. A more decided difference in
acid content is apparent, the irrigated

red ones. A more decided difference
in acid content is apparent, the irri-
gated and appreciably greater in the
case of the rcd ones. A more decided
difference in acid content is apparent,
the irrigated berries as a rule contain
the smaller amount. ]. S. JONES,

quently given to an apparently wide
spread belief that irrigated berries in
comparison with non-irrigated ones
are flat in taste and perhaps less re-
sistent to the several agencies which
accomplish decay. A large number of
analyses of irrigated and non-irrigat-
ed fruits have been made recently at
the Idaho station with results for
strawberries and raspberries as indi-

Cows Milk for Infants.

1t has been shown by chemists that
milk from different families of ami
mails differ much in composition; that
milk from animals of the same fami-
ly vary much less; and that milk from
animals of the same strain or breed
ing vary least.
AS milk is produced for the nourish-
ment of the young it is reasonable to
suppose that the milk of any animal
Is the best food for it's young, and
with but few exceptions, this has been
found to be true. The milk of some
Jersey cows proves to be too rich
for their calves. Probably such a
condition exists only where the ma
tural composition of the milk has
been changed by selection and breed
ing.
The average composition of human
milk and also that of animals belong
ing to different families of milk-giv-
ing mammals is given in the following

Doctors recognize the fact that
cows milk, especially that from Jer-
seys, is not suitable for young infants,
and a comparison between Jersey
milk and human milk as to compost
ton, indicates the reason. 1t is too
rich in all food compounds excepting
milk sugar. Holstein milk comes
much nearer being of the right COM
position. Diluting it with about one
half it's volume of water and adding a
little sugar gives about the right
composition
Experience has shown that young
animals fed on milk that is too weak
are stunted and those fed on milk that
is too strong are subject to indiges-
ton. So it is quite important that
milk for infants and young animals
have the right composition.

found that the milk of all animals

Beautifying the Home Grounds.

Attractive grounds add more than
any other feature toward identifying
the home, be it in the country or in
the city. No farm or city home can
afford to be without a few trees and
shrubs around the house. 1t seems
strange indeed with all our natural
advantages that ornamental planting
is not more observed by those who
wish to make life in the country worth
while. Money expended in this direc-
ton is well invested not only from
the fact of it's creating pleasant sur
roundfngs, but because the beautify-
ing of place enhances it's value and
renders 1t salable often at handsome
profit. Then again on the other hand,
money cannot buy the satisfaction
that one derives from watching the
growth and development of ornamen-
tai vegetation.

they are not the only cases of the
