PHTHISIS AS DEADLY AS WAR

The war has served effectually to

to Dr. Livingstone Farrand. AS direc-

his work overseas within a few days.
He returned to the United States for

HOW TO SHIP NEW POTATOES
Prevent Losses by Loading Them Care

Barrel Is Good.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Shifting of the loads in transit, weak
and partly filed packages, and lack of
ventilation are responsible for losses
In many cars Of new potatoes which
are arriving at markets. The loading
Of diseased potatoes Is also responsible
for considerable loss. In some cases
shipments that show scab wilt or late
blight are practically worthless when
they reach the market.
The double-headed barrel appears to
be the best package for new potatoes
that is now In general use. If proper
ly made 1t protects the potatoes as
well as holds them in place. Much
less breakage has been found in cars
where the barrels are loaded on end
than when loaded on their bilge. Strips
should be placed on top Of the lower
layers Of barrels for the upper layers
to rest upon.
Loading barrels on their bilge Is not
safe practice unless headliners
(strips to prevent heads bulging) are
used. 1t is said that the use of head
liners would prevent nine-tenths of the
breakage in all types of loads with

INSECT ENEMY OF CURRANTS
Common Worm Can Be Controlled by
Spraying With Some Poison
Two Other Pests.

The chief insect enemy the currant
has is the common currant worm. This
can be controlled by spraying with
some poison, either paris green at the
rate of five ounces to so gallons of wa
ter, and one pound of lime, or arsenate
Of lead, two pounds to so gallons. This
should be applied when the currants
are beginning to form, and II neces-
sary repeated in two weeks.
There is also a green plant louise
which attacks the currant foliage and
frequently causes considerable dam
age by sucking the sap. The only way
this can be controlled is by the ap-
pllcation of Black Leaf 40, before the
lice cause the leaves to curl. After
the leaves curl, there is very little
that can be done to check this pest.
1t usually disappears about midsum-
mer, as at that time 1t goes to an
other plant.
Occasionally the currant is attacked
by the San Jose scale, or more fire.
quently by the European plant scale.
Either Of these scales can be controll-
ed by the regular application Of
lime-sulphur before the buds start
in the spring. The regular CONNER
cial lime-sulphur testing 81 de-
grees Beaume should be diluted at the
rate Of one gallon to eight ounces Of
water.

shipping organizations.
The following summary is given In
the report:
1. Careful picking and handling of
Strawberries to prevent bruising and
mechanical injuries is of fundamental
importance. Prompt and thorough
cooling is necessary to reduce losses
from decay in transit.
2. The use of salt Immediately after
loading and again at the first reicing.
about twelve hours later, is desirable
In order to hasten the rate of cooling
when cars can be had which are equip
ped with false floors, basket bunkers
and solid insulated bulkheads. About
two and one-half per cent of the ice
capacity of the bunkers at the first ap-
plicatiOn and one per cent at the Sec
ond is advised unless the temperature
of the fruit when loaded is lower than
60 degrees Fahrenheit, in which case
less salt should be used.
3. Loading crates higher than four
layers in the car is to be avoided as
far as possible in cars of standard
length. Extra space in the center Of
the car can be eliminated by bracing
with wedges instead of using long
bracing strips.

barrels. Extra bracing is needed when
barrels are loaded on their bilge.
The sack Is not a suitable container
for tender new potatoes; it offers no
protection from bruising, and when
loaded is hard to ventllate. If sacks
are to be used they should be of no
greater capacity than 100 pounds. The
smaller sack could be handled with
much greater care and would lend it.
self to ventilation better.
Hampers are not suitable packages
for potatoes. They do not have the
necessary strength for the weight Of
their contents and offer little protec-
ton. AS long as hampers are used for
potatoes and other heavy produce there
will be severe loss from breakage. If
used they should be loaded on end and
alternate baskets inverted. Great care
should be taken to make the load tight,
and no slack space should be allowed
in the car. This will lessen the chance
Of shifting.
Crates Of various sorts are being
used, and appear satisfactory where
the strength Of the crate is sufficient
for the weight of it's contents. Weak
crates should not be used under any
circumstances, and crates with wide
openings tend to wilt the potatoes
while in transit. Crates must be load
ed tight and firm, and no slack space
left under any circumstances without
suitable bracing. while stripping Is rec

ESSENTIAL IN GRADING EGGS
Gambling Is Only Method by Which
Producers Can Be Certain of
Quality of Product.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Grading Is becoming more and
more customary in the sale and pur-
chase Of eggs, and a knowledge Of
Gambling is essential to egg grading.
1t is only by Gambling that producers
and shippers Of eggs can be certain
that they are complying with federal,
state and other regulations, because
by this method one can determine the
freshness and quality of eggs. The
process, In simple terms, Is to hold an
egg before a shaded light in a dark
room, and by noting certain character
istics seen through the semitranspar-
ent shell to determine its edible and
marketable qualities.
Farmers with only few eggs to
market may improvise a Gambler by
placing stovepipe over kerosene
lamp, cutting a small hole in the pipe,
level with the light. The eggs Is held
In slanting position at the opening.

Care should be taken that the fingers
or hand do not conceal small blem-
ishes, which otherwise would be dis
closed by the light. The beginner
should study carefully the general for
nation Of an egg, as this detailed
knowledge is necessary for the appli-
cation of the standards Of various
grades and qualities.
The yolk ranges in color from light
yellow to orange, and is occasionally
olive green. The eggs with olive green
yolks are less desirable because Of this
color, but are considered edible. The
yolk is contained in a delicate mem.

light-colored circular area called the

NEED OF ANCIENT PRACTICE
Stored Various Succulent Feeds
for Live Stock.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
History tells of Roman farmers who
carefully chopped fine various green,
succulent feeds and packed them in
pits for use during the winter season.
The practice seems to have been com.
mon and the feed kept well. From
these early times It has been good
practice to store various green crops
in pits or alright containers for feed
ing to stock. The silo is the present
day result, and a farmer who raises
live stock cannot afford to be without
one. The advantages of the silo are
numerous, but some of the more i'm
portant are:
l. Green, succulent feed is available
throughout the year.
2. A silo stores more feed for less
cost than any other farm building.
3. The feed is handy for use.

greater amount of motive power, and
sometimes the gain is considerably
more than this. If the nature of the
work and the machinery for doing II
are such that the best implements will
increase the efficiency of the worker
by only 80 or even 25 per cent, their
use may make possible an increase In
acreage by just that amount, and at
least will enable the farmer to do his
work in less time and allow him to
take advantage of good weather If the
season is unfavorable.
Buy Larger Machinery.
Can all farmers afford to buy extra
horses and larger implements to save
man labor? OF course, those whose
farms require but one or two horses to
do the ordinary work can seldom af
ford to do so. But such can secure
this additional help by combining to
purchase larger machinery, and doub'
ling up their teams to operate 1t; or
one, usually more skilled in operating
machinery, or better able to purchase
1t, may own the larger implements,
and do the work for several neighbor
farmers, besides his own, to the adj
vantage of all concerned. Both these
methods have been tried out in many
localities with mowers, harveSters,
tractors, threshing machines and other
farm machinery.

New Source of Alcohol.

Through seizure of still in a bak-
cry in New Mexico, where a quantity
of alcohol was discovered that had
been distilled from bake-oven fumes,
there is considerable discussion as to
the feasibility of manufacturing alco-
hol as by-product of bread. The
seized still was crudely constructed
affair, the vapor from the bread being
conducted from the oven into worm
which passed through a barrel of wa
ter for cooling. 1t Is believed large
quantities of alcohol can be manu-
featured for war use at small cost at
army bake shops.

Of opaque white material called chala
zae extend from the yolk through the
white toward each end of the egg, and
hold the yolk in position, yet allow 1t
to turn freely.
Between the white and the shell are
two fibrous membranes with an air
space between them. When first laid,
the contents fill the entire egg, but
when the egg cOols the contents shrink
and these membranes separate, form
ing an air space. The size Of this air
space Is important in determining the
freshness Of the egg. AS the egg ages
the air space increases In size. Most
bad eggs have enlarged air spaces.
A fine, thick white Is found In q
fresh egg, and a weak thin white in a
stale egg. AS the egg becomes stale
the amount of thick white decreases.
Several classes Of bad eggs are indi-
Gated by discolored whites.
