Saranac Lake. n. Y, Sept. 20.-The
Saranac Lake Stevenson memorial com
mittee, organized for the purpose Of

the winter OF 1ss7-S, has just made
public its progress.
1t Is announced by the committee
that Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor,
who is best known for his work in the
Cathedral of st. John the Divine and
the massive Lincoln bust In the cap

sign a tablet TO the man who In An

dacks penned a mans creed IN "A
Christmas Sermon" Ito be honest. to
be kind, to carr a little and to spend a
little less, to make upon the whole a
family happier for his presence"
The history OF this memorial move
ment is rather interesting. Than Sar.

Stevenson ever lived in his romantic
life that has II greater right or duty to

"Our country is at peace with the
world. IL we could continue In this
state we would have nc need for an
army or for reserves, but history
teaches us that war may come unex-
pectedly. A crisis arrives, events tend
toward war and then war Is upon us In
a twinkling. 1t is that we may be pre-
pared for such a crisis and may
meet it with the smallest loss OF life
and property that adequate preparation
Is necessary.

could force the United States into war,

is not true.

LATE BLIGHT ON POTATOES.
The Disease Can Be Controlled With
Bordeaux Mixture.


Bordeaux Mixture.
Some cases Of late blight of potatoes
In fields Of the central and southern
portions of wisconsin have just been
reported to the plant pathology depart
ment of the Wisconsin College of Agri-
culture. This disease car be prevented
by spraying the potato vines with bor-
deaux mixture. Potato growers will
do well to watch the spread Of the
blight closely and spray their fields be-
fore the disease appears In them. Es-
pecial w~atchfulness is necessary so
long as the weather continues damp,
with foggy nights, as these conditions
are favorable to the rapid growth Of
the blight.
Potato growers will remember" says
J.. G.. Milward, in charge of Wiscon-
sins potato seed certification work,
''that 1t was the late blight which caus-
ed serious losses to the potato crop In
the state last year and resulted in low
prices. The disease not only destroys
the vines in the field, but also causes
tuber rot both on the field at harvest
time and during storage.
1.-THE bordeaux mixture to be efec-
tive against this disease must be ap-
piled with a pressure spray pump that
will put the liquid OF under from sew
~enty-five TO a hundred pounds of pres
sure, Where a single nozzle spraying
outfit is Used 1t is usually necessary to
apply the mixture to the vines twice,
spraying them from opposite direc-
tons. Applications Of the bordeaux
should be made at intervals Of about
ten days. Usually about four applica-
lions are necessary during the season.
Growers are cautioned that unless thor
ough work is done In spraying beneh-
cial results cannot be expected.
Bordeaux mixture made by the fol-
lowing formula will be found satisfac-
tory in controlling the late blight:
Eight pounds of copper sulphate
(blue stone), ten pounds Of lime and a
hundred gallons of water"

SOIL Improvement.

In an experiment where no rarm ma
nure was used the average yearly re-
turn from the land itself was 1913 per
acre, while 81 was the return from a
ton of limestone and $2.65 from 500
pounds of phosphate.
In order to reduce the labor involved
the limestone and phosphate are ac-
tually applied In larger amounts at
less frequent intervals, but thus far
the rates of application have been one
ton of limestone and 500 pounds OF
phosphate per acre for each year, al
though, after the soil Is sufficiently
enriched, one-half or one-third these
amounts will provide for maintenance.
The principles Of permanent improve
ment for most soil types are already
well established. They include the use
Of ground limestone for correcting soil
activity and for enrichment In calcium;
by proper use of legume crops, the APP
plication of phosphorus to II st soils
and the liberation of potash from the
inexhaustible supply already contained
in all normal soils. On some soils dolo-
mitic limestone should be used In order
to provide both magnesium and cal
cium, and on certain abnormal soils,
such as swamp muck and residual
sand, potassium must also be applied.
The location and character of the va
rious soil types are established by the
surveys and analyses, and the soil ex-
pertinent fields help to determine the
best order Of application Of the mate
rails needed.-Dr. C. G. Hopkins, ILL.,

girth and deep, long bodies, well arched
backs and stand up well on the feet.
Bears are kept In pastures away from
the sows. They have a range Of clover
and timothy pasture. We feed them
such food as Is raised on the farm
ground oats and wheat-with tankage
and a little oilmeal added. We do not
feed much corn. This makes them
strong and vigorous. At breeding time
q record Of every SOW bred Is kept SO
as to tell when she will farrow.
After narrowing we feed the same
kind of feed as the sow has been used
to getting, but not SO much or as rich
q feed at first. As soon as the pigs
get old enough to eat we make a place
for them where they car eat by them
selves, giving them some milk at first
to get them started, adding a little
shorts as they get older.
Some farmers are deceiving them
selves when they think that hogs are
fitted by nature to subsist entirely on
waste products. They do their best on
q clean, well balanced ration. There
are, however. some kinds Of waste
products-such as apple and potato
Feelings, table scraps, etc.-that a be
utilized to good advantage. Corn stands
at the head Of hog rations because the
cheapest and best feed available. Feeds
rich In protein should be fed with 1t,
for corn contains an excess of carbo-
hydrate. Skimmilk and grass, espe-
cially the clovers, are excellent sources
of protein. The young growing pig
needs proportionately more heterogeneous
food than the mature hog. When hogs
reach the fattening stage corn can be
fed almost exclusively. Clean waste
scraps Of fruit and vegetables may be
fed with the foregoing feeds, but 1t
should be borne In mind that the d.
gestive apparatus OF no animal Is Mt
ted to assimilate soapsuds and other
chemicals OF a like nature, which are
thought by the poorly In
to be excellent hog feed.

legs of the chicken, is usually n
tracted at this season of the year while
the chicks are roosting with their feet
In the filth Of a hover which Is not
properly cared for. 1t Is easier to
clean the hovers often than to cure the
birds after they have contracted the
disease. Should the birds contract the
disease We have found the following
the most effective remedy: Equal parts

rubbed on the legs. This Will cure the

DIAMETER OF THE sILo.

The diameter Of a silo should
be determined by the amount OF
silage to be fed. According to
the North Dakota station, IL less
than one and one-fifth inches OF
ensilage are removed daily, mold
ing is likely to start. The warm
er the weather the greater the
depth of ensilage that should be
removed. In winter twelve dairy
cows fed forty pounds a day VIII
use up the right amount from a
fourteen foot silo, while In sum-
mer 1t would require eighteen
cows to use up the amount of en-
silage that should be removed
daily; for the twelve foot silo,
nine cows In winter and thirteen
in summer: for the sixteen foot
silo, seventeen cows in winter
and twenty-five In summer. Let
the amount of ensilage fed daily
determine the diameter of the
silo and let the height determine
the capacity.
