CoIored HaiIstones.

Red hail is not unknown, even in
Great Britain, for In May Of 1885 there
was quite heavy fall Of it at Castle
wellan, in County Down. Red and
white fell together, and the red hue
was not merely on the surface of the
pellets, but went through and through.
When one was squeezed between the
fingers it stained them.
At Minsk, in Russia, an even stran-
ger hail shower had fallen five years
before. Some of the pellets were ring
shaped, and, while some were distinct
ly reddish, others were a bright blue.
Some scientists declare that the color
ing is due to various mineral salts

Making the Little
Farm Pay
BY c. c. BOWSfIELD

Asparagus is one Of the greatest OF
the money making crops and should
have a place on almost every farm
This is a hardy product that does not
require quick marketing and therefore
it can be raised at any distance from a
town. With the keenest demand for
asparagus that has ever been known,
farmers who are studying up variety
of profitable crops should give this
vegetable considerable attention.
The day has come when thinking
farmers will have large gardens, and
they will specialize on fruits and vege-
tables that are suitable for canning, as
well as for marketing while fresh
Any intelligent family can make
money from a good garden. One Of
the main things Is to cultivate prod
ucts that are hardy and will give a
little leeway in marketing. for people
at distance from town may find 1t
impossible to go every day. With good
shipping facilities and an active family
of young people to assist In the mar
keting there may be broader pro-
gram Of vegetable growing.
Large yields of asparagus can be
made on almost any type Of soil, but
when grown for early market light,
sandy, well drained loan is preferred.
The land should be reasonably free Of
roots, stones or any trash that will in
terfere with the growth of the stalks.
Plow deeply, and thoroughly prepare
the land preparatory to setting the
plants. Asparagus is a perennial crop,

FOR POTATO scAB.
Tubers Should Be Sprayed With For
maldehyde or Corrosive Sublmate.


madehyde or Corrosive Subimate.
Prepared by New York station.l
Farmers who grow potatoes will find
that treating the seed tubers with for
maldehyde or with corrosive sublimate
is helpful in securing clean. smooth
potatoes. According to the State Col
lege of Agriculture at Cornell. scab is
responsible to large extent for rough
looking and often unmarketable tu-
bers, and this disease is common
throughout New York state. Seed treat
ment, they say, will destroy the scab
organism on the tubers, and when
such treated tubers are planted on I'M
lined land that has not grown po-
tatoes for three or four years clean
crop can be expected.
When formaldehyde Is used the un-
cut tubers should be soaked for two
hours I'm solution made by diluting
pint of standard strength Tornado
hyde in thirty gallons of water. The
college authorities find that barrel is
the handiest container for treating tu-
bers. An inch hole should be bored at
the side near the bottom and q plug
fitted to it that can be pulled out by
hand. The barrel should be set up on
a platform high enough so that the
solution may be drawn off into a pail.
Further directions, as given by the
college, are as follows: Fill the bar
rel with uncut tubers and then cover
them with the solution. When they
have been in two hours drain off the
solution through the hole near the bot
tom, dumping the potatoes on the
ground and filling the barrel again.
The formaldehyde solution can be
used again and again, renewing only
to replace that which is taken up by
the seed potatoes. If the treatment Is
made when cutting is going forward
no time is wasted in looking after
changes Of treatment In larger oper-
atoms one can expeditiouSly treat
large number Of potatoes by having
eight or ten barrels. Treatment can
be made at any time previous to cut
ting
In using corrosive sublimate soak
tubers one and one-half hours in So
luton made by dissolving four ounces
of the powdered sublimate in thirty
gallons of water. In the latter case
use only wooden vessels as corrosive
sublimate loses strength when in con-
tact with metal. To two or three
quarts of hot water in a wooden pail
add four ounces of corrosive sublimate
and stir until dissolved. Then add this
to cold water in barrel to make thirty
gallons. This substance is very poison
ous 1t should be kept from children
and the treated tubers kept from stock.
Do not use the same solution more
than three times without renewing.
Formaldehyde is not as effective as
corrosive sublimate in controlling some
other diseases. but is just as effective
for scab, is much cheaper this year, is
not nearly as poisonous, can be used in
metal or wooden vessels and can be
used over and over again. These ad-
vantages probably outweigh its disad-
vantages. Plant disease experts at the
college Of agriculture say that farmers
will obtain satisfactory results with
either.

its poisonous properties and therefore

Washington, March 27.--A revised
bill for a permanent nonpartisan tariff
commission, on the lines suggested by
President Wilson, which, it is said, has
received his full approval, was intro
duced in the house by Representative
Rainey of Illinois, ranking Democrat
member of the ways and means COM

the approval of the administration and
will be the administration measure on
this subject" Rainey said. 1T will be
supported by all the Democratic men,
bers of the ways and means committee
and it is hoped it will receive the sup
port of the Republican members of
that committee. The bill is as nearly
nonpartisan as it is possible to make
it."
The bill would provide for the ap-
pointment of six commissioners at
$4,000 per year each, not more than
three of whom can belong to the same
political party. The first appointments
are to be made for two, four, six, eight,

PLANS OF

FOR WEEK

Washington, March 27. Foreign
relations of the United States as af-
fected by the difficult Mexican situa-
tton and the latest destruction Of a
bell1gerent ship bearing American
citizens are again disturbing the minds
or leaders in congress. What appears
to have been the torpedoing Of the
channel steamer Sussex, coming soon
after the presidents victory in con-
gress over the armed ship issue, is
regarded by champions Of. the pro-
posal that Americans should be warn
ed not to travel on belligerent ships, as
likely to provoke a revival Of discus
sion in congress-.
Administration leaders, however,
insisted that the president should be
left with free hand to deal with the
case after full investigation and q
determination Of the facts. Every ef-
fort will be made to prevent agitation
in congress.
Senate republicans, who conferred
Saturday regarding Mexican affairs,
will confer again today, with a view to
action toward enlargement Of Am
erican military forces on the border.
The republicans have been deluged
with kilograms from border citizens,
who fear they are in danger of at
that the military forces left behind
when the punitive expedition entered
Mexico are inadequate. The republi-
cans are seeking further information
as to actual conditions and hope to
outline definite plan of action to-
day. 1t is proposed either to appoint
a special committee to draft a resolu-
tion or to draft the resolution in con-
ference f time permits.
