Method Of Treating Large Quantities
With 4 Minimum Of Labor.
The value Of treating potatoes for
scab is well known, but most methods
are tedious and impracticable when
large quantities Of seed are to be treat
ed, writes T. N. Mccall in the Country
Gentleman. Growers cannot afford to
take the time to dip potatoes in sacks
for forty or more acres or even to han
die the dipping solution more than
once, SO they seldom treat more than is
needed for the seed plot.
The writer. to do away with the te-
diousness of treating in sacks or bar
rels, has devised a simple method by
which m man can treat and cut
enough potatoes in a day to keep a
n row planter busy. An old $50 gal

Ion tank Is equipped with a shoveling
board across one end. Ten bushels of
seed are poured in and immersed in
seventy-flve gallons Of formalin-one
pound Of formaldehyde to thirty gal
Ions Of water. After two hours these
are shoveled out on a draining hopper
and another ten bushels are immersed.
The draining board is set at an angle
so as to slope down to the potato cut
ter. With the seed supply handy and
the tanks and cutter conveniently ar
ranged one nan can cut ten bushels
in two hours and can thus treat and
cut enough stock to keep one planter
busy.
Many growers prefer to u the seed
In the field at the time Of planting. In
such a case the tank may be hauled
directly to- the field and filed with the
solution, n charge being enough to
last a day. Care must always be ex-
ercised to prevent refnfection Of seed
after 1t is. treated.
Cost Of treating does not exceed Is
cents for fifty bushels Of seed-lcss
than 20 cents an acre. The cost may
be less IL all the treating materials are
convenient.

The SineWs OF War.
II was touch and go between the
two little kingdoms for a time. Their
troops had faced each other In the
open field. Blood had been shed.
Generals had looked other generals
In the eye at no great distance. At
the lines Of contact the imperial
rulers of the two countries had been
within earshot oue OF the other.
Yet they parted now. Why? The
trumpets sounded the recall, ever as
the leaders were awaiting the sum.

one ruler had been eager for the as.
sault, yet did not advance his troops.
Why? The other. vacillating as ever

the battle front itself. whether or
not his courage had been more than
temporary. He now retired. Why?
The answer to oil these questions
lay in the hands of the young Amer.

OF the divided Gretzhotfen coin still
pleaded for reunion. One lay in the
grasp OF another. Had either king.
