Farm Notes.
Potato rot is a term applied to sey:
eral diseases of the potato, as the real
potato rot is sometimes confounded
with what is known as ‘black blight,”
and the ‘scab’ also comes under the
same term, Many experiments have
been made with the object of eradicat-
ing rot, but little progress has been
made, as the disease is propagated by
spores which live through the winter
and cause the disease to appear the
succeeding season. The black blight,
which causes the tops tio die as if
scorched by fire, is not so well known,
and further investigations are being
made in regard to it by scientists at
the experiment stations.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES.
The work of eradication of the dis-
ease should begin this season if the
crop for next year is to be protected.
Most farmers simply recognize “rot”
as the disease, owing to their inability
to distinguish the several dissases ;
but as the remedies for one disease
apply to all, it is safe treat for the rot.
The spores must be destroyed or the
disease cannot be prevented. The spores
are formed in the leaves and decaying
tubers, and may be carried by the
wind to other fields. The rains carry
the spores down into the ground, which
affect the tubers. The early crops are
not easily aftected as the later, owing
to maturing sooner, but the spores re-
n.ain for the next crop. As soon as
signs of disease appear the whole field
should be well sprayed with the well-
known Bordeaux mixture, and it will
be better to begin spraying if disease is
liable, instead of waiting for the first
indications of its appearance. The
Bordeaux mixture is made by dissolv-
ing six pounds of sulphate of copper
(blue vitriol) in four gallons of hot
water. In another vessel slack four
pounds of fresh lime in four gallons of
cold water. When the solutions are
dissolved mix them, and add enough
water to make 22 gallons, which may
be sprayed with a force pump, or any
kind of sprayer which throws a fine
spray. The spraying should, be done
several times during the season.
DISEASE IN THE SEED.
Burn all of the tops (first carefully
raking the field) before digging the tu-
bers. In the fall apply thirty bushels
of air-slacked lime, broadcasted, over
the field, and in the spring apply half
that quantity of lime again. Be care-
ful of the seed. Never use seed grown
in the neighborhood of any farm where
disease has appeared if it can be avoid-
ed. Immerse all seed in the Bordeaux
mixture before cutting into pieces, and
have the knife used for cutting in a
clean condition and disinfected. Dis-
ease is carried to great distances by
the seed being distributed, and the
greatest care should be used to avoid
diseased tubers. 1f the rot appears,
and the crop is destroyed, it is better
to plant some other cropon the land
for several years before attempting
potatoes again.
Potato-diggers are of recent invention
but they are now very efficient, throw-
ing the potatoes to the surface, leaving
none in the rows, and also cleaning
away the tops and weeds. This is a
labor-saving arrangement which can
only be appreciated by comparing it
with the old method of digging out the
potatoes with a hoe. The digger does
the work as rapidly as plowing.
If the labor of destroying weeds is
more than the farmer is willing to be-
stow he should plant a late crop, such
as may demand cultivation or hoeing
and ifthe crop does not more than pay
for the labor there will be a profit in
killing the weeds, as they will be fewer
next year.
A prominent sheep breeder, who
places higher value on lambs than on
wool, states that if wool was the only
product. of sheep it would cost 50 cents
per pound, but as lambs are the med-
ium of profit the wool should cost noth-
ing.
A well-bred lamb should weigh 150
pounds when ten months old; that is,
every lamb io the flock should be ful-
ly up to that weight. Lambs that
have been made to attain such weight
when six months old.
Late cabbages cannot be neglected.
The crop thrives only when kept free
from weeds, and it delights in frequent
cultivation of the soil. Too much
working among the plants cannot be
bestowed on the cabbage crop.
It has been suggested that during
the coming season each experiment
station should take up a special sub-
ject for experimental work on certain
crops, and Pennsylvania is 10 have
tobacco station for that purpose.
Dig the early rose potatoes clear of
the land, fertilize the field and putin a
crop of late cabbages or turnips, but
plow the land well and harrow it down
fine.
The mammoth Russian sunflower is
coming into favor as a crop, the heads
of seeds having been found of great
value as an addition to the ration of
cows.
Ashes will always give good results
on light, sandy soils, and lime has
been found one of the best fertilizers
for such soils.
An acre of clover will produce more
pork than an acre of corn, and the pork
will be of better quality than that pro-
duced from corn.
The average yield of milk per cow
in England for one year is about 2000
quarts, which is an excellent average,
but which should be larger.
When the crop is thrifty and grows
rapidly it will not suffer as severely
from drought and weeds as ove that is
backward and of slow growth.
Half Rates to the World's Fair by the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
In order to afford an opportunity to
the public to visit the World's Fair,
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has decided to run a series ot popular
excursions from Washington and Bal-
timore and other eastern cities to Chi-
cago. The rodnd trip from Washing:
ton and Baltimore will be $17,00, and
proportionate rates, a single fare for
the round trip will prevail from other
stations.
This arrangement applies to all
principal stations on the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad, the Northern
Central Railway between Baltimore
and Elmira, Philadelphia and Erie
Railroad between Williamsport and
Renovo, and principal stations on the
main line and branches between Har-
risburg and Pittsburg.
The parties will be carried on special
trains composed of the newest and best
standard passenger coaches, contain-
ing all modern conveniences.
The special trains will leave Wash-
ingtoa 10.15, Baltimore 11.20 A. M.,
York 1.15 P. M., Harrisburg 3.25 P.
M., Altoona 7.40 P. M., and, stopping
at principal intermediate stations, ar-
rive in Chicago 6.20 the next after-
noon.
26th, others are fixed for August 2d,
12th, and 23d. The return coupons of
these tickets will be good within ten
days, and will be accepted for passage
ouly on trains leaving Chicago at 3.16
P. M. and 11.30 P. M.

Want Historical Wood.
New York, July 19.—The Colum-
bian Liberty Bell committee have sent
forward from Troy, N. Y., all of the
sword, guns, chains and filings that
they have that could be fused into the
Columbian Liberty Bell or availed of
in the clapper, to Messrs. Deere & Co.,
plow manufacturers, Moline, Ills., who
have volunteered to make the Colum-
bian peace plow without cost to the
committee,
The Columbian Liberty Bell com-
mittee now desire historical wood of
great historical interest for the wood
part of the plow. Persons having con-
trol of such wood are requested to send
their contributions to the manufacturers
at Moline, Ill.
——No other Sarsaparilla has the
merit by which Hood’s Sarsaparilla bas
won such a firm hold upon the confidence
of the people.
The Chinese lepers of British
Columbia, isolated on an island in the
Gulf of Georgia, have had no one to at-
tend them, and have been left alone,
with only the oceasional visit of a phy-
sician to relieve them. A young wom-
an of Vancouver. Lizzie Hensel; has
heroically offered to devote herself to
the care of these unfortunates. She was
rescued by the Salvation Army some
time ago from a degraded life, and for
two years has been a devoted trained
nurse in cases of small pox, ete. Her
decision to care for the lepers will mean
the sacrifice of the rest of her life.
The high-shouldered, pump han-
dle shake of the hand, which was an
importation from abroad and never
seemed to g2t easily on our American
manners has gone completely out of
vogue. Itis succeeded by the low
swinging thrust of the arm. Nothing
could be conceived that is more ludicrous
than the attempt of two people to grasp
hands, one of whom has acquired this
new wrinkle and the other still clinging
to the former fashion.

ISSIONARY'S STORY
HOW HE SUFFERED FROM ECZEMA.
DOCTORS FAILED. GREW ‘WORSE.
DEATH ONLY RELIEF EXPECTED:
I have been troubled with chronic Eczema
on my limbs. The itching was very annoyin
and made me unfit for work, I had trie
many remedies and consulted a good physi-
cian, but received no permanent relief. A
friend told me of the Cuticura Remedies. I
then sent for a copy of your book, more thana
Jes ago, and now I wish I had the book and
egun to use the Cuticura Remedies at once.
But the doctor said the remedies, good In
some cases, would be of no use to me, and con-
tinued to prescribe for me for nine months.
I grew worse. Death would have been a relief
and it was the only relief I expected. Just
then oy wife (I thank God for a good one)
found the book you sent in some out-of-the-wa
place and read it through. She discharge
the attending physician and said we would try
the
CUTICURA REMEDIES.
Procured one box of Cuticura, one cake of Cu-
ticura Soep, and a bottle of Cutiucra Resolvent.
I began to use them about the middle of last
August, procuring a new supply when the first
was exhausted. [am now well and attend to
my missionary work. I am Secretary of the
Sullivan County Bible Society (portrait en-
closed). Have been engaged in missionary
work in the county for eighteen years. To
recommend the Cuticura Remedies to suffering
humanity will be a part of my missionary
work in the future.

Pennsylvania Exhibits at the World's
Fair.
Are ahead of them all, chief among them
is the display of pure liquors manufactured in
the state. It is conceded that no rye whiskies
made in the world can equal those made in
Pennsylvania, more especially Silver Age,
Duquesne or Bear Creek. These three brands
head the list of pure Ryes, and sre so well
known that every repntable dealer sells them.
North, East, South and West they lead all
others, because they are pure ; because they
are reliable, and because they are stimulants
that strengthen and invigorate. They are
sold at prices within the reach of all, and are
sold upon their merits for purity and strength.
Silver Age, $1,50 ; Duquesne, $1,25; Bear
Creek, $1.00, full standard quarts. Ask your
dealer for them ; Insist on having them, and
if you cannot be supplied, send to Max Klein,
