How About Seed Potatoes
PAIL STORElf
The Clothier
69
Potato planting tiruo will soon be
here. Seed potatoes should have been
selected at harvest time and stored In
crates during tho tvlnter. It sounds
expensive to select and caro for your
seed potatoes, but it is more expensive
to plant diseased seed. If you did not
select your Feed lust full now is the
time to do so
Go over tho potatoes in your cellar
and select for seed only tho smooth,
firm, sound tubers of goodshapo. Dis
card all potatoes that show any foim
of rot as these should never be plant
ed. Tho botanist of tho Experiment
Station of the Mtato College of Agri
oultuient Lincoln is engaged in n
study of these potato rots and will be
glad to correspond with potato growers.

Washington, I). C, Feb. 2d, In past
years horses have died by tho. thous
ands In Texts, Iowa, Kansas and Ne
braska from a disease, affecting tho
nervous system, popularly known as
bjlml staggers or torao poisoning.
Tho Department of Agriculture has re
ceived urgent requests for help against
tills disease from id different states,
and as a result it is now publishing a
hullollu containing doflulte lustilict-
Ions for combating this disease.
The states that appealed to tho Do
partmentof Agriculture for assistance
Include tho following: Colorado,
Georgia, Kentucky, Ltiulhiun.i, Mary-
laud, Mif-bourl, Nebraska, Now Jersey,
Noi III Carolina, Oregon, South Caro
lina, South Dakota, Vliginln, W Vir
ginia.
This shows tho universality of tho
disease. Kansas aud Nebraska boie
tlwi brunt of the allllctlou during the
past year but other states have also
suffered seriously Kansas has had
more than hor slitue. Severe out
breaks extended over almost the eu
tire State in 181)1 mid since that date
have recurred with equal severity on
two occasions In various portions of
tho Stute
Tho bulletin takes notice of tho fact
tnat additional deaths have undoubt
edly been due to tho uto of fake
"cures" sold by unscrupulous persona
It Is reported that in Nebraska "black
leg vacciuo" was used on at least 1000
unaffected horses, nearly 1000 of which
ure Raid to have died an a direct result.
Iuvestigutors have practically es
tablished that this horse discaso can
be controlled effectively only by a total
change of feed a'nd forage. It is quite
obvious that there is u direct connect
ion between the green forage, exposed
pasturage aud newly cut hay or fodder
which tho horses cat, and this Cerebro
spinal Meningitis, as tho disease is
known to scientists. In fact, eating of
sucli forage when contaminated is un
doubtedly the most Important cause.
Over 05 per cent of cases of this disease
in Kansas and Nebraska during the
outbreak of 1012 wero maintained un
der suoh conditions.
Great caro must betaken that horses
do not obtain tho dangerous forage un
known to their owners. The owner of
one farm informed tho Department's
investigator that his deud horses had
eaten nothing but old Lay and grain.
"But what about tho closely-cropped
grass in tills pasture;'', icinarked
the Investigator, noticing tho adjac
ent field.
"Oh!" answered tho farmer innocent
ly, "I always turn tho work-horses In
to pasture over night."
Mnuy horses have died from blind
staggers caused by eating' moldy baled
hay. As soon ns the hay was eliminat
ed the dlseaso coated. Other horses
in the vicinity not fed upon this hay
fulled to contract this disease Lator
some of tho moldy bales were opened
and exposed to tho sun for threo or
four weeks. After this tho hay was
fed to horses without producing any
ill effect, forage poisoning, therefore.

that is, it is duo to certain chemical

Tho vision is impaired, which results
in the staggering gait that uives tho
