TREATMENT OF POTATO SEED
Solution Of Commercial Formalin and
Water viii Destroy Disease
Spores Of Tubers.

Potato diseases such as fusarium,
stem rot and scab. lVe over winter on
the seed and in the soil. Planting in
fected seed in diseased soil simply per
petuates the disease. The way to pre-
vent scab is to disinfect seed potatoes
and plant them in clean soil upon
which the crop has not been grown
so- several years preceding. Thorough
treatment with a solution of one pint
commercial formalin 10 ~ gallons wa
ter will destroy disease spores. Cor
rosive sublimate also can be used,
Dissolve four ounces in five gallons hot
water and after 1t cools add 20 gallons
water. Soak the tubers for one ana
half hours in this solution. when they
may be cut and planted.

addition to gaining opportunity to kill

to curb the dogs power of doing harm

dogs. the foot-and-mouth disease is
probably Of the greatest interest at
this time. In this case the dog acts rs
a mechanical carrier OF infection. The
dog which runs across an infected

his feet the virus of this most conta

ICE DURING SUMMER MONTHS
Commodity Which Every Farmer Can
Have by Little Attention to
Storage In Winter.

Ice is a commodity which almost
every farmer can have during the
summer months IL little attention is
given to the proper methods Of stor-
age during severe cold weather.
A common type Of ice house, and
one that seems to give good satisfac-
ton. is a pit dug in the ground or on
the side Of a slope. covered with a
board roof to keep out the snow and
rain and serve as a shade. Straw is
used between the walls of the pit and
the ice. One instance has been OBJ
served where baled straw was used
with good results.
In the construction of any ice house,
whether pit or above ground. the
walls should be properly insulated SO
that they will not admit heat from the
outside. Ventilation should be pro.
vided for the space above the ice by
an opening at each end near the peak
of the roof.

PROFITS FROM A DAIRY HERD
Cow, to Be Most Productive Must
Have Care and Consideration Due
to Animal Mother.
(By H. M. corTRELL.)

milk to develop the life Of her baby.
the calf. The dairy COW, to be made
most productive, must have the care
and consideration due to every ami
NAL mother. She must have milk pro-
ducing feed and feed that will develop
fully her unborn calf while she is milk
ing. She must have bodily comfort
shelter. water. salt. shade in hot
weather. and pure air all the time.
She must be petted. When a man
takes her calf away from the COW and
milks her. he becomes for the time to
her a secondhand calf. The COW loves
her calf and 10 happy when she Is CIV
ing milk to 1t. The more the dairy
man can pet his cows. make them
comfortable and make them like him
as they do their calves. the more milk
they will give and the richer will be
the milk. This sounds like "gush" but

lowed will bring profits.

THROW OFF MUCH MOISTURE
Remarkable Amount Of Water Elk.
hailed From Skin Of FuII-Grown
Man In Twenty-Four Hours.

The skin of q full-grown man ex-
hales in "a hours. in ordinary circum
stances, from one and half to two
pounds of water in insensible perspi
ration. When, In hot weather, or In
undergoing violent exertion, the per
spiration becomes sensible, and instead
of exhaling in gentle moisture Is
thrown off in large drops Of water. a
much greater weight is disposed Of In
this way.
The action Of this exhalation takes
place. through glands. II does not seem
50 strange that the human body can
throw of nearly two pints OF water
daily. so gradually and SO gently that
1t is not felt as moisture. when we re-
member how many glands there are
and how very small each atom of
moisture must be. On the back. the
thighs and legs there are about 500
perspiratory glands to the square
inch of skin: on the breast. the fore
head. neck. forearm and back Of the
hand and foot. about 1000 to the
square inch. and on the sole of the
foot and ON the palm Of the hand.
2,700.
1t il estimated that the number of
perspiratory glands over the whole
body is not less than 100000, and as
each tubular coil in the glands when
unraveled Ia about one-nfteenth of an
inch in length the entire extent of
tubing used to throw on perspira-
tion is not less than $4,000 inches. or
nearly two and one-half miles.

clover and timothy. The rye is seeded
in the standing corn and the clover

the following spring. The rye is hogged
of and, as the clover natures, part of
it is used for hog pasture and part for
hay. The clover-timothy sod is Their

plan all the rye grown is left where
it is produced and all the cornstalks
cut up and worked into the soil. Fur
thermore, all the manure made by the
hogs in gathering the rye and corn is
left in the field
