Treatment
for
Potato
Scab.
It Is true that as early as 1842 a
German investigator suggested that the
trouble was caused by a parasitic or
ganism, but later it was definitely d<
termined that the fungus, Sorosporimn
scabies, which he had isolated, was not
invariably the canes of the trouble. It
was not until 1890 that Prof. Bolley
definitely determined that potato scab
was caused by a fungus parasite. I'll-
til resistant strains could be bred up
it was necessary Hint some temporary
preventive be applied, says Farm,
Stock and Home, Treatment of wo
bies may be made by the use of for-
malin or corrosive sublimate (blc’nlo-
ride of mercury). Tlie latter ls per-
haps tlie most effective, but it should
be handled with the greatest caution,
as it is a very powerful poison when
taken Internally. The solution is pre
pared by dissolving two ounces of cor
rosive sublimate in two gallons of hot
water. When the poison is well dis
solved. add twelve gallons of water,
making fourteen gallons in all. The
potatoes, which should be reasonably
clean, should be put In a gtinn.v sack
and the whole suspended In the solu
tion for an hour and a half. Then
empty them out on a floor to dry thor
oughly before cutting and planting.

A hog is a hog frequently because he
is given no opportunity to be cleanly
■ind decent. There are farmers who
believe a hog would die if not allowed
to wallow in mud and filth, while oth
ers are of the opinion that the hog
-hould have plenty of clean water. The
hog needs a great deal of water in hot
weather, and if he cannot get it he
will take mud as the next best thing.
A hog rushes to a niudhole to coo)
off. He conies out and the nntd dries
>n his skin. The next mud oath he
lakes adds another layer to that al-
ready dried on. and in a short time
the pores of his skin are completely
dogged wit li mud. Now, a hog cannot
thrive with his pores all clogged up
any better than a num. If a hog has
access to a deep pool of water, as he
should in hot weather, he will keep
lean and thrive much more than if
lie lies around in a niudhole made
lilthy by continued use. ^lost farmers
who supply a bathing place for their
Ilogs make them so shallow that they
ire soon converted Into mudholes. On
air farm we usually keep from thirty
to fifty pigs, and they have a pool of
water fed by a stream, and it is deep
■nough for them to swim in. The
sides are dug down sharply, and were
laid with cobblestones for a distance
of four or five feet from the water's
edge. The pool was always clean; we
never have trouble with mange or lice,
mil when on two occasions cholera
swept through the country our Ilogs
were not affected. The hogs never
used the pool unless tile weather was
extremely hot.

and all the while these might beavoid-

this spring by going out into file een-

Then gee around instead of haw, as
is usually done, plowing back to tlie
place of tieginning. Keep this Up to
the end and you will have no ditch in
the middle, but a field that is nice and
smooth and good to look upon. It may
be a little awkward turning round to

We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a ma
jority of theso precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these
infantile deaths aro occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures
and soothing syrups sold for children’s complaints contain more or less opium, or
morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity
they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria
operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of

Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: “Your Castoria is an Ideal

Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: “Your Castoria holds th®
