pictured.
OF IL samples of we'll water, sent
from as many Norman county farms
for analysis by the chemists at Uni
versity Farm, II were found to con-
tain excessive quantities Of EPSON
salts, the probable effects Of which,
says DR.. R. A. Gortner, chief of the
division of agricultural biochemistry,
is to eliminate calcium and phosphor-
us in the animal system. AS calcium
and phosphorus appear in milk and
are necessary for its production,
these minerals must, under the con:
ditions described, be taken from the
bones of the animals. In conse-
quence they decline in vigor, and
their milk flow soon falls off. Young
animals feed on the home grown

ing from abnormal appetite, but
whether it is a complete remedy is
not yet known, says DR.. Gortner. The

this season sleeves have refused to
take any part In the cast-off garments
designed for afternoon wear, declares
q fashion writer in the Detroit News.
Heretofore they have starred as fea-
ture In most of the modish gowns and
true as the old adage that "a man Is
known by the company he keeps" so
the up-to-dateness Of gown was
gagged by the sleeve it attached. Then,
having been the one distinguishing
note, with every within for the unusual
humored to nth degree, sleeves sud-
denly repudiated old associates and
retired from the frock entirely.
So the modern afternoon gown bill
lows, clings or trails, as the case may
be, but altogether innocent of any
thing that could be construed as a
sleeve, and accepts the abbreviatlon
quite as a matter Of course.
No gown that has been deserted by
a pair Of sleeves Is going to display
any chagrin over the matter, and there
really isn't any reason to take it much
to heart, for the long, graceful shout
der lines that supplant the erstwhile
sleeve have a charm all their own.
Add to this the comfort of sleeveless
gown on q torrid afternoon and Fash
ion can snap her fingers in the face of
the sleeve and care not jot for its
retirement.
So the fact Is established that for
afternoon wear, gowns are without
sleeves. Looking back on the models
of the past year discovers hint Of
what has come about in the shorter
and shorter lengths, the open shoulder
seam and other innovations that have
paved the way for complete disappear
ance Of what was once considered
very essential part Of the afternoon
frock. But while the sleeve has been
eliminated, skirts have been elongated,
30 there Is no economy of material to
be discovered in the new modes that
confront femininity.
Lovely and Graceful.
Boldly stated, gown for afternoon
devoid of sleeves sounds rather shock
Ing. But no matter how 1t sounds tt
talk about 1t, to observe 1t Is to lose
every scruple the vocal proclamation
has conjured Sleeveless gowns are
lovely and graceful, and ingratiating,
appearing as casual, as perfectly cor
rect, as anything in the way Of a frock
could possibly be.
Every kind Of soft, clinging fabric
is used In the fashioning Of these
gowns. Voiles in innumerable subtle
tints, combined with delicate laces, are
the very essence of summer at her
happiest. Often yoke Of embroid-
cred. material edged with frills of
f1lmy lace, follows the round neck line
and drops just wee bit over the
upper arm at the shoulder. Not so
that it can be classed as a sleeve. OH.
mol To call 1t a sleeve would be a
fatal mistake and quite beyond the
scope Of the most healthy Imagination.

UNTAINTED POTATOES
MINI. GROWERS AIM
Seed Potato Producers of State Seek
to Eliminate Diseases.

ocSo TotdtO TTOouCCTS OF SIdtS ScCH
to Eliminate Diseases.
The growers of seed potatoes in
northern Minnesota-and their mum
Der is increasing-are striving to pro.
duce stock which can 60 to the south
ern markets with a perfectly clean
bill of health.
This fact was clearly shown during
the recent potato tour by specialists
from the University Department Of
Agriculture, and representatives Of
the State Department of Agriculture,
of buyers and shippers of potatoes, Of
implement and supply houses, and Of
farm journals.
The tourists visited nine counties,
Red Lake, Pennington, Kittson, Ro-
seau, Lake Of the Woods, Koochiching,
where they found a stable interest in
potato growing both for table and seed
stock. The acreage was not so large
as year ago, owing to the low prices
received for last seasons crop, but
the interest in the crop was undated.
Indeed, in Koochiching county there
was an increase in acreage, and in
Kittson county, which in 1912 grew
only COS acres of potatoes and this
year is growing 10000, the falling of
ID not very great.
Among the tourists were R. C. Rose
and ]. G. Leach, plant disease special
lists, and G. E. Nickel, an insect pest
specialist, and F. A. Krantz, whose
speciality is the growing of the potato,
all from the University Department Of
Agriculture, and A. G. Tolaas, himself
an expert in potato growing and po-
tato diseases, in charge of the states
potato seed certiication work.
At every farm visited, these men
were surrounded by potato growers
who had come to study problems Of
potato culture and of disease and in.
sect control. Their chief interest lay,
however, in the production of disease
free stock to be used as seed. Their
determination to control disease was
seen, again, in the increasing number
Of high pressure sprayers in use as
the only means yet devised Of thor
oughly spraying potato vines for the
elimination of diseases and insects.
The farmers interest in their work
for disease control was encouraged by
the presence among the tourists of H.
M. Kilgore, handler of large quanti-
ties of seed potatoes in far-off Florida,
who said that there ought to be in
Florida a good market for Minnesota
seed potatoes, grown under the in
spection Of the seed certification de-
partment. Florida growers have hith-
erto bought their seed supplies mostly
in Maine.
Minnesota growers last year market
ed $4,000 bushels Of certified seed
potatoes, and most of them were sold
at enough premium over prices paid
for table stock to net the growers a
satisfactory profit.

ings have usually resulted in poor
stands and low yield. On this point
Otto I. Bergh, superintendent Of the
station, says:
Repeatedly the late September and
October paintings of winter wheat
came through the winter with such
poor stands that they were plowed un-
der in the spring, while plots planted
between August Is and September I
came through with nearly perfect
stands and high yields, outyielding
spring wheat and usually being of a
higher grade"
Minnesota No. 2 rye, also known as
Swedish rye, is the first choice Of Mr..
Bergh for planting in northern local..
ties. While Rosen rye has given equal
ly as large yields as the Swedish, it
is by no means as hardy. AS rye
easily cross fertilizes, farmer should
limit himself to only one variety in
order to maintain its purity. Among
the winter wheats Mr.. Bergh recon-
mends Minturki 1907 as probably the
hardest. It produces wheat OF fine
