TCoiaea as Pharmacists. The first graduated woman pharmacist In the world received her diploma from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. This institute has also graduated the largest number of women who have actively engaged in the work. It Is the oldest of the American colleges of pharmacy, having been opened In 1821. Thirty women have been enwho rolled as certified practitioners bavo received degrees. These students have been recruited from ail over the world one of those in the present class Is from Russia and tbelr ages have ranged from 18 to 25. The secretaries of sevoral of the associations of pharmacy, notably those of Kansas, Nebraska and Louisiana, have been, women graduates of the profession, and the vice president of the American association is Mrs. Mary 0. Miner. In Kansas City a woman has been the assistant for thirteen years in one ot the largest drug stores. She Is Miss Toni Sanntrock, and in her place became perfectly familiar with all branches of the business before taking her course at the pharmacy college. Another young woman, although competent to mix drugs and put up prescriptions, will not do so until she haa received her diploma, which will shortly be riven her.

The question of treatment for potato bugs Is always a live one. Spraying with Paris green Is without doubt the beat method for large fields, as it not only kills the bugs hut protects the vines to a great extent. Some potato growers, however, prefer to pick off all the bugs by hand. While this takes a great deal of time, yet It is entirely feasible. Where children can be birod do the work a field may be soon cleared of the bugs. In the selection of seed for the next that year great eare should be taken Indiall of the seed be free from any cations of the rot. This end can In attained if the potatoes are selected from parts of the field where no blight appears on the leaves. The disease is carried over from year to year In the seed, and if this be carefully selected It would appear possible to eradicate some of the potato diseases entirely. The depth of eye In the potato is sometimes of great moment, but it has Its objections as well as Its advantages. The varieties that have deep eyes art more suitable for dry land than thos' that have eyes on the surface. The and deep cavities retain the moisture, The a of help. considerable Is this often r deep eyes are also said to Indicate at contend that bustness, while others the same time they also indicate coarseness.

We give these preliminaries for the reason that we believe It is well to know tbs underlying principles In the matter in order to go to work and carry them out In a practical way. First, we would look over an old bed and see If It was worth saving. If It is foul with June grass, sorrel etc., or if the white grub has got It, it had best be plowed up at once, for It will cost more to care for It then the crop Is worth. But If a bed Is worth saving, our w ay of treating it Is this: With a plow we turn a furrow about four laches deep, away from the row, forming a back furrow In the alley and leaving about a foot of row; the furrows are turned right onto the mulch. If the weather ie dry we follow the plow with the cultivator; if not, we prefer leaving it for a day or so, It will cultivate much better if a little dry. We cultivate several times In a row as deep as possible, In order to stir and mix tbe mulch Into the soil (fine manure may be spread on and treated the same way). After care is to keep the bed well cultivated and the runnera off. Late In winter we mulch between the rows ..(never on the plants) with horse manure direct from the etable; we have used cow manure, but it Isnt as satisfactory. Th old vines over the row make covering enough for the plants. Our object In plowing la to strengthen and narrow up the row, break up and fine the soil making a reservoir for the plants to After redraw from another year. peatedly trying different plane, we have come to the conclusion that this Is the most scientific and practical plan t q pursue. ed effect the size of the potato stalk or top has on the size of the potato tuber We generally think that a vigorous top should produce a vigorous and large tuber for the reason that there is more machinery, if we may call it that, for the elaboration of material for the formation of the tuber. All of the material that forms .. the tuber has to be elaborated from the top. If the tubers themselves are no larger, then Is the,, aggregate of the tubers of a large plant greater In bulk than from a small plant? What is tb observation of the readers of The Farmers Review In the matter? It would he a valuable fact to elucidate, as the large tops are objectionable unless they can give some good reason for their existence. Of course we know it is sometimes said that a field of potatoes has all run to tops, and we have seen such apparent cases, but we do not know that this bears at all on the situation. - -- varl--tif- Knlfe-plalte- well-rotte- ed It would he Interesting to know what Treating ll Strawberry Iteds This Is one of the most. If not the conmost, important question that fronts the strawberry grower at this time of the year, writes 0. A. Hammer in Michigan Fruit Grower. The plants have just thrown nearly their last spark of strength Into a large crop of is fruit, and their vitality must he and to are we If ebb.

Experimenters and ty of material required two yards for close students of nature are agreed vp on the following: The life work cf the species Is to propagate Itself; flint, by eed (fruit), and then by division of the Ilant (runners). Of course, a plant Till make runners before fruiting, and .vlll fruit after making runners to limited amount; and, if the conditions were favorable, the difference might s :,e nearly Imperceptible; and, too, have as differ In this respect, they TJite a diversity of habits. But, genconerally speaking, this ru'.e mny be aod depended fundamental sidered as we upon.' So In handling ths old bed Is it mind that must keep the fact in natural for the plant to make runners, or dlride Itself into many plants, all with badly developed, If any, fruit buds.

The following question and answer la from Progressive Farmer of North Carolina: I wish to ask for some Information about the culture and the use of German millet. I have tried to grow It for several years, but have never been successful. Also please state if It is good forage to feed to working stock. It seems to be the opinion of several of our farmers that It has a tendency to have a weakening effect on the kidneys. J. D. W., Rutland, Ga. Answer. German millet should not be sown until the. weather Is settled warm. To do well It must be oh rich land, or be highly manured. It calls d for a complete fertilizer, such as or manure, highly barnyard phosphate with a good percentage of potash. The land should be well prepared and brought into a fine tilth by repeated plowlngs and borrowings. Sow about three pecks ol seed per acre, harrow In lightly then roll the land to firm the soil ai&it the seed. It should be cut just as the heads appear and before the seed forms. The seed develops very rapidly after heads appear, and the cutting should not be delayed. Ripe millet Is considered unhealthy. It la a very rich, nutritious forage; should not be fed too freely at first, and should not form as exclusive diet at any time. an. Bol'iv Crop for Call I a. This month we will begin to cut thi of corn for the cattle t( soiling-cro- p out the pastures. When we beglz help to cut It it la a good Idea to open i shallow furrow between the rows anc drill In another row of corn, writei Fred Grundy In Farm and Fireside. Ai the first crop is removed the eeconc will take Its place, and If the soil Is rich will make lots of good feed befort frost comes. Some sow turnips between the rows, but a second plantlni of corn will yield two or three timet as much feed and of a better quality One good farmer whs lives In a dalrj section of this state always plant! sweet corn, a medium early variety, foi a second crop. He says that it makes a better quality of feed than dent corn, Is sweeter, more nutritious and comes nearer to maturing before frost It i wonderful what an immense quantity of feed can be produced on half an acre of rich land If one keeps It fully occupied the season through. I have seen men who have farmed for thirty or forty years fairly amazed at the quanproduced on half an tity of well-fethoroughly tilled and acre of fully cropped land. feed-stu- ff d, Manure for Compact Soil. If the roll Is too stiff and compact, the manure used upon it should not be thoroughly rotted, as It Is needed for the mechanical effect In making the soil more open as well as the chemical effect. The toughnesB of the straw in the manure, worked by cultivation Into the soil, will have a tendency to loosen it. If the soil Is very porous and needs compressing rather than opening, only well rotted manure, which in mixing with the soil will make it more compact, should be usrd. In the loose soil that has not a clay subsoil much of the valuable part of the manure may be carried below the reach of the plant roots If not so thoroughly rotted is to be somblncd with the soil quickly and he ready to be taken up as plant food. Texas Stock Journal Meaning of Corn. When you are away from home It Is well to know what corn means. In this country Indian maize Is corn. In Scotland oats are corn. In Egypt wheat or rlca 1b corn. It thus seems that corn means any of the food grains and by custom Is applied to the grain most familiar to the people of any country. Ex. |
