Last fall one Of our Colorado potato
growers saved separately for seed the
potatoes from every hill that had no,
less than twelve good sized. smooth.
choice tubers. with no rough or smsll
ones In the hill In thirty acre field
he found barely enough seed OF this
kind to plant small patch. Nos, Of
the potatoes grown on this patch proved
true to the seed. the hills having large
number Of choice potatoes and no poor
ones. Some hills did not breed true.
but contained some poor spuds. Such
hills were rejected for seed. The pota.
toes from the choice hills in this patch
were used to plant part Of a thirty acre
field. The other part Of the field WAS
planted with the best shaped ones that
could be selected fiom bin Of choice
snowflakes. When the crop was har
vested this fall II was found that on the
land where the seed was used from
choice hills there was only one sack OF
Gull potatoes for each two hundred sacks
Of marketable spuds. Where the good
potatoes were used from the bin for
seed there was one sack Of culls for ev.
cry twenty sacks Of marketable pota'
toes. The seed selected from the bin
were in themselves good potatots but
many came from inferior hills. This is

Exports of Pure Bred Stock

American stockmen are now reaping
a reward in an entirely unexpected way
for their efferts to build up the quality
Of their live stock. Up to recently the
United States has never been looked to
by breeders in other lands for any thing
except horses in the driving and harnefs
racing classes. in which latter fields it
has for many years been pre- eminent.
For the best in cattle and draft horses
the newer countries Of the world have
always looked to Europe. the United
States among the rest. So persistsntly
has this country followed the practice
Of importing the best in this line from
Europe that its horses and cattle have
been bred up to high standard. and ss
a result. now that the war interferes
with European expectations, the people
in other countries have turned to the
United States and find here just what
they want
No country in the world is batter a.

From the War Fronts

Warsaw, Dec. 27.-It has taken the
most strenuous efforts of German
medical forces to overcome the cpl.
denies of typhoid, smallpox, rabies
and other diseases that they found
prevalent in Poland when they arriv-
ed. They had to contend, not only
with shortage Of medicaments, but
also with the distruSt of the people
and 4 distinct opposition to vaccina-
ton that was overcome only with diff
iiculty.
Poland was Immediately divided up
into forty-nine sections, in thirty-hve
OF which it was possible to install
German physicians, and additional
doctors are being brought in as fast
as possible. The first duty was to
establish sanitary conditions. With
but few exceptions the cities and
towns had never heard of drainage
system. The streets were disease
breeders, and the public convenience
stations were dangerous in the high.

sease. Seven thousand of Lodz's TO-.
600 wells have been examined and
purified, and the balance will be fit
for use within few weeks.
Much to the astonishment Of the
Polish population and not without op-
position, the official notification of di.
sease was required, especially in the
prisons, the hospitals and other pub
lie institutions where the Germans
found cholera, typhoid and typhus
rife. The opposition to these meas
ures was such that it was necessary
to lay down severe penalties for fail
ure to comply with the new regula
tions.
Even the schools were discovered
to be disease breeders, through the
medium of teachers who were sick
Great as the shortage Of instructors
was, and is, many had to be forbid
den attendance on their schools in
order to check epidemics. A thor.

schools and houses throughout the
length and breadth of Poland was i'm

nation Of between 100000 and 100000
persons. The epidemic is broken now
but the vaccination of all the popula-
ton is impossible because of lack
of personnel and of vaccine.
Typhus to smaller extent existed
principally in Lodz, where strict Ger
man methods were introduced. Chol.
era was prevalent along the right
bank of the Vistula, practically all Of
which has been stamped out by this
time. TO prevent the disease from
travelling into Germany, via the wat.

shot, and the hospitals have been sup
piled with the very latest and most Ell
fective hydrophobia preventatives and
curatives.
Since the German medical forces
not only must handle disease but also
prevent it where possible, the strict
est possible watch is kept on all food
stuffs. A bureau has been establish
ed which maintains veterinary sur
geons, examines slaughter houses,
and prosecutes purveyors Of impure
foods.
In order that existing needs might
be supplied, the expectation ban in
Germany on certain medicaments was
lifted, and Poland today is in posi-:
ton to receive all that it needs in
the pharmaceutical line. Pharma;
csts in Poland are required to list all
their supplies, and speculation in
such supplies has been reduced to a
minimum by heavy penalties.

number Of judges has at no time beer
entirely sufficient to handle all cases
and it has been necessary to alter
the existing law in some particulars
The right Of appeal to higher court
has been restricted somewhat in Or
der to prevent congestion, and a
master in clancery system has
been evolved to tighten the work OF
higher justices. ~.
The WARSAW Trade Tribunal was
created as sort of supreme court for
civil matters and placed in charge OF
two judges, who rule on all importan,
cases and appeals for the entire king
dom. AS assistance, the services o.
Il number of expert civilians were en-
listed, who ,lear evidence just as
masters do, and then report to the
justices.
With few exceptions the Napoleonic
laws, especially those governing civil
matters, commerce, marriage, par
entage, inheritance and so forth, have
been retained, and the imported Ger
man judges rule accordingly The
principal exception concerns debt
procedures, watch constituted one OF
the most difficult of the legal prob
lens which the Germans found them
selves confronted with.
'NapOleOnic, and hence Russian,
law, provides that in case of deb;
action, a notary with two witnesses
must go to the debtor, take ais state
ment and rule agains him when the
evidence warrants and payment is ge-
fused.
The exigencies of the war; how
ever, long before the arrival of the
Germans, had altered the system
Tie notary no longer went person
ally to the debtor, and sen, but one
witness, merely because witnesses
were scarce, and the notaries were
too busy to be able to spare the time.
The Germans, therefore, were con
fronted with the alternative of con-
doning this breach of law, and be
coming party to it, or of changing
the law. The latter course was
adopted, and the German system ap-
piled in debt matters was introduced.
Up to the time of the arrival OF
the Germans a moratorium had ex-
listed. The conquerors decided very

Warsaw, Dec. ALPHABETICALLY every
Russian judge in Poland fled when
Warsaw was evacuated by the Rus
slams and occupied by the Germans.
The invaders therefore were con.
fronted with a peculiar situation in
their efforts to re.establish order, and
the way the problem has been solved
has been largely through the import.
alton of German judges, and the ap.
pointment Of German lawyers VINO
had been wounded in battle to judi:
cial positions. Almost every Polish
Judge or lawyer who remained in the
country declined to fiji the vacant po.
sitions for fear of punishment by t:Ic
Russians if. the latter should return.
For centuries past Poland has had
two kinds: Of judges, lay and prores-
sional. The lay courts handled small
and unimportant matters, were scat.
tered'$a over the kingdom and their
base rulings were mainly oil common
sense rather than technicalities of
the law. The professional judge,

decided upon since existing Polish
