Government Publication on Subject
viii Be Found Useful.
The United States department of
agriculture has just published a
Farmers Bulletin. treating of the SUBJ
ject of Farm Bookkeeping" which
will be found very useful by any one
who desires to start a system of &C.
counting. The bulletin discusses the
advantages Of farm bookkeeping and
outlines the principles upon which a
system of farm accounting should be
built up. Forms are given illustrat-
Ing methods for taking a farm inven-
tory, which Ia the basis of all farm
accounting. Other forms are shown
for receipts and expenditures and for
learning the farm profit. Forms Of
labor records are shown, also time
sheets and labor reports. While the
bulletin In itself is not a treatise on
bookkeeping with data and instruc.
tons for keeping a system of farm
accounts, 1t is particularly valuable
in giving suggestions regarding the
details of farm accounting. If care
fully studied it will enable one to
devise a system of accounting that
will be satisfactory and complete
enough for the business of most
farms. The bulletin may be had with
out cost by addressing the Division Of
Publications, United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D..
c.. asking for a copy Of Farmers Bull
letin No. 511.

Keep the Armholes Down.

It is strange that not one person in
a thousand knows how to help a man
on with his coat Or a lady with her
jacket They all make the mistake of
holding the garment too high, especial
~ the last sleeve. They lift it 80 that
a man nearly dislocates his arm reach
ing for it. The more futilely he grabs
and claws and lurches for 1t the higher
they hold it until the wretched victim
would have to get on a pair Of stills to
find the armhole. The proper way?
Why. hold the coat so that the arm
holes are as low down as the mans
waist, taking care to keep the skirt of
the garment off the floor. Of course. If
there is any struggle to find the last
armhole. drop it still lower. Never
raise it. Drop 1t until his hand slips
into it naturally.

. that the air could circulate freely
under It. the potatoes would dry very
rapidly. The potatoes should be
spread out in a layer about six inches
deep. The platform should be located
where the wind has a good chance to
get at 1t. II desired, potatoes can be
treated in this manner some time be-
fore they are to be planted and stored
away again until needed.
An important matter to keep In
mind in connection with treatment
DOr potato seab is that it is what may
be called a germ" disease. Sacks
which have contained scabby pota-
toes have the scab germ on them and
II treated potatoes are put back into
such sacks the germs will get back
on the potatoes again and infect
them. For that reason new sacks,
baskets and shovels should be used
for handling dipped potatoes, or else
they should be treated just Is the
potatoes are in order to kill the germs
on them. The same would be true OF
putting treated potatoes into a bin
which had contained scabby potatoes.
AS the bin cannot be dipped a meth.
cd Of treating it would be to take a
broom and with some double strength
potato dip thoroughly wash it out.
The scab germs remain in the soil
where a scabby crop has been grown
and continue to live there for five or
six years afterward. To get rid Of
scab in the soil a rotation must be
planned so that potatoes will not come
on the same piece of land any more
often than Is necessary. preferably
not until the sixth year on scabby
land. Dipping should not be neglect
ed, however, II it Is necessary to
plant on such land within that time.
Manure, lime and wood ashes are
favorable to scab and may increase
the amount of scab if any germs are
present in the soil or on the seed pota.
toes to start it. Fresh manure is
more likely to cause trouble than rot
ted MANURE. The best way to handle
for potatoes is to put it on
some preceding crop, such as on a
clover meadow which is to be plowed
up in the fall for potatoes. Some
times n causes trouble because
of feeding the scabby potatoes to the
stock and then spreading the manure
on potato land. Cooking the potatoes
destroys the scab germs and prevents
trouble from this source.

ond barrel have soaked two hours the
solution can be drawn of and poured
over the fresh potatoes in the first
barrel, and the same process repeated
from one barrel to the other as long
- there are any potatoes to dip. The
writer has found it very convenient to
have an old alarm clock around while
dipping potatoes. BY setting the alarm
% that it would 60 OIL a few minutes
before the time was up the danger OF
leaving the potatoes in too long and
thereby injuring them was practically
eliminated.
The dipping solution should be
freshened up a little each time a bar
relful of potatoes is dipped by pouring
two or three gallons of fresh dipping
solution over each new barrel of pota-
toes just before pouring in the old so
luton from the other barrel. The ad-
dition of fresh solution is necessary in
order to maintain the strength Of the
dipping solution. The trouble in doing
this is slight If a clean extra barrel is
kept on hand in which a supply OF
thirty gallons of fresh mixture can be
prepared at a time.
The old method of dipping potatoes
Is in sacks. This method is objection.

hyde and make the dipping solution
weaker.
After the potatoes have been dipped
they ought to be cut and planted
within half a day or spread out to dry.
II allowed to stand around in a wet
condition considerable injury may re-
suit.
Where planting is done on a large
scale it would probably be most de.
sirable to plan on dipping the potatoes
far enough ahead so that they can be
dried before cutting. If a special dry
ing platform were prepared for this
purpose with a floor made of lumber
three or four inches wide and with
cracks an inch wide between the
Boards, and this floor were set up
about eighteen inches from the ground
