POTATO SCAB HAS
STRONG VITALITY
Germs of Disease Are Able to
Pass Through Digestive Or
ganS of Animals.

1t is almost generally known that
the application of fresh stable manure
to the soil Immediately before planting
often tends to increase the amount of
scab on the resulting potato crop. This
theory brought up the question in the
mind of an investigator whether it is
safe to feed uncooked potatoes or po-
tato refuse to animals in stalls with
out taking precautions to prevent un.
eaten portions from becoming mixed
with the litter. Experiments were car
ried on for two seasons with a horse
and a COW fed infected potatoes, and
the results indicate that the germs OF
potato scab are able to pass through
the digestive tract of both species and
go into the manure pile without being
destroyed. This was much more read
lily the case with the horse than with
the COW. The manure of horses fed
on raw potatoes is very likely to carry
the germs of the disease. On the other
hand, that from COWS fed a moderate
quantity of potatoes is probably not
serious source of contamination.

FRANZ JoSEF'S KIND HEART
Little Incident That May Explain Why
Ruler Of Austria ls Loved by
His Subjects.

Sense Of humor Is another strong
trait OF Emperor Franz Josef One day,
unannounced, Franz Josef visited the
military academy at Wiener.Neustadt,
entered a classroom and, saying TO the
officer hearing a recitation: Don't let
me disturb YOU" took a seat On the
bench behind him he put his generals
hat, crowned with It's bush OF long
straight feathers. A boy eyed the
green plumes, then slyly stretched his
hand out and plucked one Emboldened
by success, he took four, and would
have taken the rest had he not
touched his emperors arm In the
process.
What are you doing that for?"
asked Franz Josef. viewing the de
pleted bunch.
For a souvenir" the boy suffered.
But why so many?"
My comrades would each want one,
too" was the frank response.
Well, | suppose there is no way out
of II but to give you the whole lot"
said the emperor by this time laugh
ing heartily as he tore loose the bush.
Turning to the teacher whose frown
Of horror had been lost on the small
boy, his majesty remarked, But, cap
tain, you must kindly lend me your
cay TO 90 home in."-Pictorial Review

katherlnels Point Of View.

Little Katherine is a believer in the
outdoor life, and she does not contine
her fresh-air activities to her own
backyard. Her mother recently had
load Of sand placed in the rear of the
yard, thinking Katherine would devote
her time to playing in the sand. She
did play there part of the time, and
part Of the time she was out of the
yard.
Katherine" said her mother, exas-
perated because her daughter was not
staying in the yard, don't you know l
had that man bring this sand here to
keep you in the yard?"
Mamma" replied Katherine, tell
him to come and take 1t away"

CHANGED MIND ABOUT MULE
Lleutenant's Ideas as to Kindness and
Flrmness Vanished Soon After the
Animal Got Busy.

There is a lieutenant in an Ohio
regiment who believed that mules
were much maligned, and that If well
treated a mule would behave accord
ingly. In his own company was
mule with a bad reputation, and the
lieutenant undertook to tame him.
81 will show you how this mule
should be treated" said the officer.
So he had the mule brought in front
Of his tent, saddled him without re-
sietance or protest, and patted him
kindly on the neck.
He needs kind but firm treatment"
said the lieutenant.
Then he mounted the mule, which
walked six steps, danced three steps,
executed an original hop, step and
jump with each leg, and then projected
the lieutenant into the air and into a
thorny bush.
Catch the brute and kill him."
said the lieutenant, as the hospital
corps assisted him to his tent, The
men caught the mule, but did not kill
him. He was just as good as any other
mule.

ROOT CROPS GOOD
FOR A DAIRY cow
If Turnips Are Fed Directly After
Milking No Unpleasant Fla
Vor Results.

No matter what some people tell
YOU. turnips and other roots make
fpe milk-producing feed. Turnips,
saws one writer, will not affect flavor
of milk if fed at the right time.
If turnips are fed in large quant-
Ties and two or three hours before
milking, they are liable to give the
milk an unpleasant taste, but If fed
directly after milking. no flavor
whatever is noticed.
A peck of turn:ps to each animal
ner day is sufficient In most cases.
A little salt scattered over the tur-
nips. which should be chopped in
quarters or smaller, add to their
palatability.
Roots make a very valuable addi-
ton to the winter ration, because
thew add to the variety of the feed,
and no animal on the farm apprecia-
ates variety more than the dairy COW.
In Wisconsin, Iowa and other western
dairy states the root crop is becoming
a very important part Of the crop OF
the farm.

To have deepened life for ones own
self, to have pierced beneath trivial
ties and superfuities to the heart of
living, is reward enough for any man.
But to have shown in the simplest life
of faithful doing what the earth may
mean to the poorest child of the eter-
nal is to have gained the victor's
wreath. We may not treat as failure
OF calamity any life that has been
spent in such a way as, by its achieve
ment or it's ending to have caught the
Imagination of even one or two and

permitted, the resultant fruit harvest
will not only be enhanced in value,
but the period of the plantation's use
fulness as a means of revenue will be
greatly prolonged thereby.
The same may be said of the tree
fruits, when left to their own will Of
reproduction, there is a tendency to
blossom and to set more fruit than the
tree is able to mature. The result is
a lot of ill-shaped badly colored and
undesirable fruit.
In making a practical application Of
this principle we confine the plants to
rows six feet apart and with canes
two feet apart in the row. Then, dur
ing the spring and summer, at about
the time the new growth Of the plants
are two feet tall, the terminal bud is
broken out. This causes a heavy
growth of laterals, and when these
reach length of ten or twelve inches
the tips of these are taken off.

fruit plants, such as the strawberry

are formed on an elongation Of certain

and blackberries propagate in a some

new canes that spring up have their
origin at certain points along the roots
of the plant.

STATE GRABS ALL MONEY

Mesa county thought it had about
$500 additional to be spent on the
county roads, as the county's share
of the receipts from the new automo-
bile tax. But the county had another
think" coming.
The new law provides that half Of
the license fees collected from auto
mobiles and motorcycles shall be ex-
pended by the county on its OVID
roads, the other half to 20 into the
state highway fund. Acting under
that law. County Clerk Charles S
Jones sent Secretary OF State Pierce
a check for 1915 and a receipt from
County Treasurer Benton Cannon,
showing the payment into the treas
Ury of a like amount
Secretary Pierce returned the check
and receipts and notified the clerk
that the state wanted all of the money
and would do its own dividing of the
fund, stating that the attorney gener-
al had so ruled Accordingly the
entire amount was sent to Denver.
and also another draft for the addi-
tional receipts, which now total about
$1,000.
In some of the counties the officials
are refusing to give their share of
the money to the secretary of state.
claiming that 1t may never be re-
turned, or at the best 1t will be held in

be badly needed in the county. Just
what disposition the state intends to
make of the fund is not known, and a
