Made Mouse Earn Living,

More than 4 century ago a thrifty
Scot. David Hutton. saw pet mouse
driving the wheel i'm its cage round and
round. Hutton decided to try to har-
mes the wasted power and make IL
do something useful. BY experiment.
ing he found that mouse would run
about .lOA miles day. and a half
penny worth of oatmeal would feed
the little animal for 30 days. during
which he would run 49, miles. He hit
on the idea that. as the mouse turned
the wheel. ii should twist and reel sew
ing cotton, and he set about construct
ing a tiny ihread-mill. Every day the
mou Sc twisted and reeled from 100 to
120 threads, each % inches long.

TREATING SEED POTATOES
District Horticulturalist Gives Sug

District Horticulturalist Gives Sug.
gestiOns to Local Planters
District Horticultural Inspector +.
E. Bailey gives the following formula
for treatment of seed potatoes:
Seed potatoes should be treated by
sleeping in solution of corrosive
sublimate (bichloride of mercuryl A
ounces to 30 gallons of water fo.. one
and half to two hours.
This treatment is effective against
common scab, rhizoctonia and silver
scurf, three of the most common pc
tato diseases in Washington.
Corrosive sublimate solution should
be handled in wooden, glass or vitri-
fed clay vessels only. The solution
corrodes metal.
The solution should be removed af-
ter four or five lots of seed have been
treated. Corrosive sublimate does rot
lose strength by standing.
More effective results will be OBJ
tanned if the potatoes are free from
all soil.
Corrosive sublimate is deadly in
ternal poison but it is not injurious
to the skin and may be handled with
out danger.
Do not eat or feed potatoes treated
with this chemical.
Potatoes should be treated before
cutting.

NOT SUCH A BIG
SUM AFTER ALL

/ The thirty cooperating. Protes-
. tant churches, in their financial
campaign, April % to May 2, are /.
seeking to pledge $336,777,572.
Locks like a big sum, doesn't
:. it?
But it isn't. It's only one-third
. of billion dollars.
If one Protestant church MEM
. Der out of every eleven in the
United States gave 80 cents and
. mills day, the sum would pay
. the whole church budget for
. 1918 and. leave % million dol
lars. If the whole church mem
; bership gave cents and mills
a day. the entire church ex-
; penses for 1918 would he paid
. and balance left of 270 million
dollars.
If every church member con-
tributed Ii cents day, the
entire $336.777,572 would be
raised without asking the aid OF
the non-church members.
