things away he comes rushing in,
wants to know where put that
letter or that clipping and then he
just gets furious because re-

for his bank book. He swore he
had lain it on the Victrola. He
turned the house upside down and
read me an awful lecture on wives
who touch the property of their
lords and masters. And he couldn't
find that bank book any place. |
id not remember seeing it at all
but he was sure he had left it on
the Victrola. tried to help him
find it and we both spent every
odd minute for two days looking
for the thing, Then ! suggested
that he might have left it at the
bank to be balanced. He laughed
at the idea but l insisted that he

TREATING SEED POTATOES.

The treating of seed potatoes for
the control OF certain diseases IS be-
coming a more common practice as
the growers learn the benefits that
may be derived from seed treatment.
Many potato growers think that the
only damage which scab does Is 70

The greater loss, however, is the ef-
feet on the yield. Black Scurf Is tax
ing a heavy toll from many Michigan
potato fields. as a result Of the poor

some parts OF the state black leg IS
also doing a considerable amount Of
damage. An OF these troubles can be
controlled, or at least greatly roduc-
ed IN extent, by seed treatment

known to be present in any consider
able quantity, corrosive sublimate
will be more effective in controlling
these troubles than formaldehyde.
Dissolve 4 ozs. OF crystals OF corros-
i've sublimate in small quantity OF
hot water, then add enough more
water to make 80 gallons. Formerly
most authorities recommended using
this solution for three patches and
then discarding and making up new
solution. Some authorities are rec
ommending this same practice at the
present time; others advise reinforc-
mig the solution by adding / ounce
OF the corrosive sublimate after IL
has dissolved after each treatment
Water should be added when neces-
sary to keep the quantity up to 30
gallons. The length of time which
potatoes should be treated in the
corrosive sublimate is generally rec
commended as thirty minutes.
There has not as yet been suffi-
cient experimental work done to de-
termine absolutely how many times
the material may be reinforced as
here indicated without it's becoming
too strong TO he safe. From the pres
ent knowledge along this line il would
be advisable not 10 reinforce the ma
terial more than one-half dozen
times. Corrosive sublimate is a dead
ly poison and should be kept away
from children and livestock It
should also be used in wooden or
earthen vessels only. 1t will corrode
and destroy tin and galvanized iron
containers If allowed to stand in them

Mix Oats and Peas for sIIaee.

The following report has been re-
ceiyed from the upper peninsula ex-
pertinent station farm at Chatham. 1t
is valuable information for us in
Iron county, who have silos TO fiji.
Peas and oats are also fine for hay.
Oats mixed with Canadian field
peas in the proportion OF one bushel
to one and one-half bushel Of oats
per acre have been raised success
fully on the station farm for the past
two seasons. They were seeded with
a grain drill, the same as most farm
ers seed oats or other small seeds
alone. Oats, when seeded in this
manner, serve as a support to keep
the pea vines OFF the ground, thereby
improving the quality OF peas for
roughage.
The oat and pea crop for silage in
1917 yielded 651k tons from Gal acres,
or 1928 tons of silage per acre and
6.14 tons per acre in 1918, or an av-
erage OF S.2l tons per acre for the
two years. The crop was harvested
when the oats were beginning to turn
and considerable amount OF water
was added to the silage material at
the time 1t was run through the en-
silage cutter into the silo Too much
emphasis cannot be laid on the ne
cessity of using plenty of water
Ensiage made from this crop, as
above described, is Of good quality,
had kept In fine condition, is entirely
eaten by cattle, helps keep down the
cost of rations, helps to MI the milk
pail, and keeps the stock in prime
condition.
Under our northern conditions it
has given the best results for silage |
purposes so far as yield and quality |
are concerned
The cap for 1913 was not so good !
As that in 1917 as it was grown on |
ow wet land which was very foul I
with quack grass. The yield was
,uiy 6.14 tons per acre and the full
'ilage made from it was not OF as
,cnd quality as the year previous.
