The Country Editor

The duties of the country edi-
tor are numerous and varied.
People who som etimes complain
that their little home weekl-
does not contain as much news
as the more pretentious dailies
published in the cities overlook
the fact that dozens and in many
cases, scores of men contribute
to the production Of the larger
papers, while all the work on a
weekly is sometimes done by a
single individual. Just how num-
erous and varied are the tasks Of
the latter is disclosed by para
graph in the latest issue of the
Glenwood (Mo) Journal. In ex-
planning that he had changed the
size and form Of his paper so as
to save time in makeup. printing.
and handling, the editor Of the
Journal says:
For one person TO gather the
news. set the type, makeup the
forms, print the paper, distribute
the type. do the jod work, cole ct
the bills, pay the debts, listen to
kickers, sweep the office, kick the
cat carry in coal, build the fires,
and do a thousand and one things
in the course Of a week is no little
matter matter. hence we have
changed the paper to a size we
can issue to better advantage.
In the face of this explanation
anyone objecting to the change
should be bored for the simples
and then taken out and shot at
sunrise. Wetzel Democrat.

RenOunceS State That HOnOred
Him to Avoid Taxes

Wheeling, w. Va, Mar. 81. -
Quite a sensation was caused in
this city last evening when it was
learned that ex-United States Sen
ator Nathan B. Scott had re-
nounced his citizenship in the
state of West Virginia. He was
considered one of the big factors
in state politics and his with
drawal from this state will no
doubt be a great blow to the
G. o. P. machine.
William Hankey, assessor of the
county, last evening verified the
report, stating that he had re-
ceived a letter from the ex-sena-
tor from Washington, D. c.,
stating that he did not send him
a blank for a personal property
record, as he had renounced his
citizenship in this state.

Treat Seed Potatoes

Prof. A. l.. Dacy of the state
college of agriculture says that
farmers who have bought seed
potatoes this spring Should take
the precaution to treat same to
prevent the introduction into
their land of Potato Scab or Black
Leg, two diseases often carried
on the potatoes.
The former is a parasitic
growth which attacks the tubers
only, producing a characteristic
roughening of the surface which
so Injuries the appearance of the
tubers as to greatly reduce their
market value. 1t easily detected
on badly affected tubers, but ap-
parently smooth, healthy ones
may carry the germs of the dis
ease, and unless one knows that
his seed comes from fields that
are free free from the disease
the safest plan is to disinfect the
same just before planting. The
usual method is to soak the un-
cut tubers for two hours in a
solution made by adding one pint
of formaldehyde to thirty gallons
of water. This material is mex
pensive and may be bought of
any druggist. The amount given
should be enough to disenfect
twenty bushels of seed. After
soaking spread the tubers out,
allow them to dry. and then cut
and plant. 1t in no way Injuries
the termination Of the potato.
The latter disease, Black Leg,
which is controlled by the same
treatment as the Scab, is Of bac-
terial origin. 1t causes the seed
TO rot early, In some cases before
the sprout is through the ground,
thus causing an irregular stand.
1t spreads over the base of the
stem, stops the growth of the
plant and soon causes its death.
In addition to the above pre-
caution, one should be careful
i n cutting his seed to reject all
tubers which show any blacken-
ing of the inside flesh, as this
may be an indication of the dis
ease.

Stop Ravages of II Year LOcusts

Prof. w. E. Rumsey, of the
college of agriculture of the state
university, has issued the fol-
lowing letter to the farmers of
West Virginia. The letter is the
result of recent newspaper ar
ticlc to the effect that the seven
teen year locust is due again in
the state this year. Rumsey
says.
Spraying to check damage by
this Insect is out of the question
for large orchards. but nay be
feasible in treating a small num-
Der of trees. The best material
for this purpose il kerosene e.
mulsion and it is necessary to
spray repeatedly to kill the in
sects as they appear. AS already
stated, it is young trees that suf-
fer most from the sting Of the
cicada. If one has but a few
small shade or fruit trees which
he wishes to protect from this
insect he can do it quite readily
by covering the trees with mos
quito bar or cheese cloth during
the time the eicada is present.
1t is not advisable TO prune
young orchards in the winter or
spring before the appearance OF
a cicado brood. Leaving all the
previous seasons growth on the
tree will allow a greater distri-
button of the work Of the female
and thus the probability of seri-
Gus injury from the punctures
will be minimized. The injured
wood should be pruned out as
soon as possible after the cicadas
have gone. The mutilated por-
tons of the tree that are not cut
out should be protected with
grating wax or hard soap to
prevent other insects or fungous
disease from attacking the tree
at these stung places and so ag-
grevating The wounds and pre-
venting rapid healing. To in
duce quick recovery from cicada
wounds an orchard should have
special care to stimulate vigorous
growth after having been visit
ed by this insect.

Pensions for Widows and Children

Washington, April Pen
sions for the widows and minor
children of officers and men who
served in the Spanish war, the
Philippine instruction and the
Boxer uprising in China would
be authorized by a bill that pass
ed the House late today by a vote
of 276 to 81.
The bill would grant $12
monthly to the widow of an
honorably discharged soldier or
sailor and 81 monthly for each
child under 16 years of age. The
pensions, however, are to be linn
tied to widows without means of
support other than their dali y la
Dor and an actual net income not
exceeding $3.50 a year.

Mercury and Musts.

The influence Of mercury on afcO-
holic fermentation has just been stud
led by NJ. T. Nottin. says the Chemical
News. The presence OF mercury I'm
liquid I'm a state of fermentation pro
duces two distinct phenomena. The
mercury feebly attacked by the natural
acid must produce toxic salts. which.
according to their dose, keep back or
hinder entirely the development OF the
yeast Then again the mercury as "a
metal increases the production OF the
yeast. because It continually removes
from the must IT'S carbonic acid by
phenomenon OF a purely physical order
and thus allows the yeast to breathe
and vegetate more easily Platinum
ana porous substances produce the
same effect
