POTATO scAB.

FormaIdshyde Solution Best For Treat
Ing the Seed Tubers.
The spore or germ Of potato scab is
carried on the seed, thus injecting the
next crop. The spores will also live
In the soil, and for that reason a field
that has grown scabby potatoes should
not be planted with the same crop for
. few years.
Lime and manure do not cause scab,
as some suppose, but they do produce
conditions in the soil that favor the
development Of scab. 1t is best to
apply lime or limestone after the
potato crop has been harvested Ma.

year before.
w. L. Slate of the Connecticut Ag-
ricultural college suggests that not only
the potatoes should be treated for
scab. but also all bags. boxes. baskets
or pals that are to contain the seed
after treating. by sprinkling them with
formaldehyde' solution.
The formaldehyde solution (formalin
40 per cent? Is the best for treating the
seed potatoes. Make up a solution at
the rate Of one pint Of formalin to
thirty gallons Of water. Soak the un.
cut seed for two hours. It Is best to
treat seed potatoes Just before planting

after soaking.

STRAWBERRY CULTURE.

There are two general cultural meth.
DDS Of handling Strawberries. One Is
to cultivate them clean throughout the
year, and the other Is to mulch them
lightly with straw during the winter
and pillow this under after the fruit has
been picked next spring.
When clean cultivation is used the
cultivation is discontinued during the
harvesting season in order to facilitate
picking. Some growers grow the Der.
ries in hills. while some grow them In
a matted row. It Is difficult to say
which is best, as both have, good sue.
cess. The great advantage Of the straw
mulch Is that 1t gives the berries
something to lie on and keeps them out
Of the dirt and enables one to pick
them when the ground Is fairly wei
and adds organic matter to the sou.
Every year after the picking season
1t Is necessary to cut out a great many

The steamboat Victor, leaving

The boat was obliged to concede
the right-of-way.
The length of the mammal is
various estimated at from 35 to
100 feet, according to the ex-

All, at least, agree that 1t is

WAUKEGAN, ILL.,, July 15.-
The case of Will II. Orpet, Univer-
sity of Wisconsin student, charged
with the murder of Marion Lam
bert, was given to the jury this
afternoon.
Counsel for the defendant said
that Judge Donnelly's instructions
were tantamount to a command
to the jury to acquit.
An audience, mostly women,
from white-haired grandmothers
to half-frightened school girls,
packed Judge Donnelly's court
room.
Orpet seemed more cheerful at
the prospect of the ending OF the
period of suspense.
