THE MILK QUESTION.

Raising arguments that have no real
bearing on the fundamental principle
and the root of the question will not
help the milk situation. The distribu-
tiers naturally would like to obtain
milk at the lowest possible price and
sell it at the highest. They would use
the argument that It Is the patriotic
duty of farmers to produce milk at a
loss If necessary. so it may be sup
piled to children. inval!ds and others
in the cities who need II and may
suffer ana die without Il.
When the distributors are willing

loss the farmers at that time may
be willing to produce it at loss

Plants in pots that are resting
should be kept on the dry side; that is
keeping the soil dry, giving only suf-
ficient moisture to prevent the soil
becoming absolutely dry.
Soon the days will begin to lengthen,
the sun will become warmer. The
plants seem to anticipate the season
somewhat by pushing out their buds.
When growth begins more water will
be required and the plants should be
placed where they will receive as much
sunlight as possible.

ANEMONE AND RANUNCULUS

There are, I am confident, thousands
of tubers of anemone and ranunculus
sold every year that simply rot in
the soil, or from which weak plants
start and soon droop and die. Anem-
ones, particularly. require very care
full handling to bring them into sue
Cessful bloom.
An article on the subject is desired
from any one who grows anemones
successfully in the window garden.
An article on ranunculus ia also de-
sired. The article should state the
time Of year when the tuoers are
potted: in what kind OF soil; where
the pots are kept and Mt what tenn
perature Mt the different stages OF
development: amount of moisture
supplied and full particulars. including

The potato now so generally Culti-
waited in Europe appeared at the end
Of the sixteenth century, as a curiosity
in botanic gardens. Gerardc Gin 1880
informs us that he received roots of Il
from Virginia. otherwise called NOrem-
bega, which grew and prospered in his
garden as in their own native country.
He calls 1t Potato of America or Nir-
GINA to distinguish it from the Span
ish potato OConvolvulus Batatas).
which was then much better known.
and called exclusively potatoes, po-
tatus or potades. from the Spanish
name Batata.
Though 1t be pretty clear that the
potato came to us from Virginia. yet
it does not follow that it Is originally
indigenous of that country; but is
moro probable that 1t Is a native of
Peru, whence the Spaniards might
have It Immediately.
"Cieca, Gomara and Acosta inform
us that in the neighborhood of Quito
there is a plant with tuberous roots
called papas Of which the inhabitants
make a sort of bread, and they also
eat them both boiled and roasted in
the embers. They are supposed To be

ginians call Openanck or Openawk.
probably the Indian names.)
THE potato which was so common
in Italy in and before the sixteenth
century was doubtless the Spanish or
Convolvulus Batatas; for 1t is said To
have been eaten as commonly with
mutton as turnips or parsnips. and
even to have been used for feeding
hogs. II this had been our common
potato how, as Clusius remarks. could
the knowledge OF this root have been
so late in coming to us; and how could
they have been ignorant of II at
Padua till he sent 1t to them from
Frankfort?
"Clusius himself owed his first &C.
quaintance with the potato to Philip
de Sivry, Lord Of Walhain, &c, in
Flanders. who sent him two roots. with
the fruit. to Vienna In the beginning
of the year 1888. and the year follow

Dec. 1899 informs us that the potato
was then scarcely to be found n the
French markets. which was so great q
relief to the people of England; but
there was store of Jerusalem arti-
chokes; which root seems to have been
almost as commonly cultivated in Eng.
land at the end of the sixteenth and
beginning of the seventeenth century
as the Virginia potato has been in the
eighteenth.

Vienna, April 21.-Control Of Vienna
has been taken over by the soldiers
council. Quiet prevails, but cOmmun-
izing of the property of those unable
to resist has begun. 1t is possible there
will be no change in the name Of the
government, but 1t will be BOlshevist
In purpose. The situation is much the
same as 1t was at Budapest few
hours after the radicals had taken con-

taken over by the vOlkswehr. The par
Lament building has been occupied by
two battaliOns Of soldiers after repre-
sentatives Of the soldiers council had
placed 5000 men ut the governments

the police would be dispersed.
The soldiers are commanded by Col

Colonel Cunningham, in the name Of
the allies, has issued proclamation
declaring that II there 10 further dis
turbance the food supply will be cut
off. For that reason serious trouble 10
unlikely.
Two demonstrations were started
during the week, the outgrOwth Of sev-
eral communist meetings which were
lightly attended by Austrians. One Of
these meetings took place at the war
office, when the Austrian republican
flag of red and white was pulled down
by small crowd and a red flag run
up In Its place.
1t IL significant that the outbreak
happened at the time of the visit of
Joseph Pogany, reputed to be the rul-
ing chief OF the Hungarian communist
government, and other Hungarian Of
ficials, who are said to realize that 1t
will be impossible for their plan to
succeed without the Austrian aid.
POgany, In an interview which was
printed locally, declared that the
Americans favored the BOlshsviki. He
pointed out that Americans already
had furnished food to Budapest. but
did not state that the food was sold
by the Americans to the KarOlyi gov
ernmsnt, or that, In view Of having ~
