Potaro Starch.
A certain quantity OF potato starch
is used In this country for sizing in
cotton mills, for which purpose it is
preferred to corn starch, says the de-
partment OF agriculture. There has
been in the country produced an aver
age OF 20.0OO.000 pounds Of potato
starch annually and large annual inn
portations from Germany have been
made in addition. In 1910 there we're
imported 10,6OO.2O0 pounds OF starch
and 4,424,200 pounds OF potato dex-
trim.
The manufacture of starch from po-
tatoes in the United States il at pres
ent confined to the utilization Of culls
and of potatoes unfit for storage or
shipment because Of partial infection
with tuber rot. The margin Of profit
ID not large, in spite of a protective
tariff of one cent per pound. The fac
tories are able TO run only six weeks
/ in the year, and the interest and other
overhead charges are therefore high.
1t seems possible TO make some eco
nomic improvements in this system by
introducing new factory methods, and
the quantity of potatoes used could
be increased, especially in districts
remote from the markets, where a
more rigid sorting should be prae-
ticed before shipment and all inferior
potatoes kept at home. This would
not only tend to reduce freight
charges, but would give the consumer
in distant market a grade of pota,
toes which would waste much less il
preparation for the table and fol
which relatively higher price could
be paid than for the present unsorted
shipments. There is possibility also
that method may be worked out fol
drying, culled and surplus potatoes or
the farm and the dried product latel
used for starch making. The tota
quantity required would, nevertheless
not make large impression on sur
plus potato crop.

Here's one Of Walter Kelly's dog
stories. Walter doesn't vouch for it,

it's probably all right. says the Cleve-

II seems that Kelly left town on a
business trip some time ago, and left
his blue-ribbon dogs in the care Of a
man who was supposed to know all
about dogs. In about a week this man
wrote that one OF the dogs had devel-
oped symptoms that indicated mango,
and asked for instructions. Kelly
wired back as follows:
isolate dog at once. Take no
chances of mango spreading"
Sufficient instructions, and within
the ten-word limit When the owner
got back home he asked the guardian

DRAINAGE OF POULTRY YARD
important Subject to Be Considered
in Locating Yard and House
Southern Slope Is Best.
Rr E. S. MILLERl

lRT +. d MlLls6ENl
The drainage is a very important
subject to be considered, in locating
the house and yard for the poultry.
The ground should be well drained by
sloping to the south.
A yard on a southern slope dries
OF quickly after rain, and it gets the
full benefit of all the sunshine, conse-
quently it is nearly always dry.
The direct rays of the sun are great
purifiers and destroyers Of disease
germs. and this helps greatly in keep
ing disease out of the flock. When
hens are compelled to run about in
muddy yard and so keep their feet
wet and muddy, their feathers become
wet too. and in cool weather they be

der such conditions.
Dampness is also direct cause Of
roup and all its kindred ailments. as
well as rheumatism.
In warm weather a wet yard soor
becomes filthy. and is good place fol-

germs.
If your poultry yard is already bull
in such a place, it viii pay you Il

Counting death in awful form, Henry

half mile south of Berryville, just be

ground to pieces by a north bound
train running at a high Fate of spead.
Trainmen who were connected with the
killing Of the man assert that his
death was deliberate suicide.

left Kenosha at 1922 and at the time
the man was struck the train was run

remained unmoved. He turned his
face toward the onrushing train and
stood directly in the middle Of the
tracks. The engineer and fireman in
describing the killing of the man de-
clared that he appeared to have smile
on his face just before the engine
struck him and literally ground him to
pieces Seeing the peril of the man
the engineer attempted to stop the
train, but it was too late and tue train
swept down upon him with terrific
speed. The train was stopped and the
remains picked up and taken to the
