I MARKETING POTATO CROPS. In Uno with the classic case of the ' oyster shippers , cited by Pl'esldent ! . . J' ' ' Hadley of Yale University In his book ) . on RaUroad Transportation , Is the ca.se of the Aroo s tool , pota.to growers brought by President Tuttle of the ! Boston and Maine RaUroad beto1'o the I Senate Committee on Interstate Com- , merce. Nothing could better show bow a railroad works for the Interest of tbe localities which It serves. A main dependence of the farmers of the Aroostook region Is the potato crop , aggregating annually eight to ten m11110n bushell' , which find a mal" " , ket largely In Boston and the adjacen . " thickly settled regions of New Eng- , land. The competition of cheap water transportation from Maine to all points I . along the New England coast leops l - ' raUroad freight rates on these potatoes - toes always at a very low level. ' Potatoes are also a considerable out- 'I t put of the truck farms of Miohlgan , their normal market being obtained in ' I , and through Detroit and Chicago and : J other communities of that region. n ' . Not many years ago favoring lun I ' ' , , ' " and rains brought a tremendous , .Ield I , ; of potatoes from the Michigan fields. " At normal raten and prices there 1 , ; would have been a glut of the custom. I' ' , ar , . markets and 'the potatoes would ; ' , . ' : _ have rotted on the farms. To help : f , , , , , i , ' the potato growers the railroads from " , , ' , ' " . ' Michigan made unprecedentedly low _ _ _ . { : , rates on potatoes to every reachable ; . - market , oven carrying them In large ; Quantities to a place so remote as Dos- ton. The Aroostook growers haa to I reduce the vrlce on their potatoes and 'I ' even then could not dispose of them I . unless the Boston and Maine Rnllroad : reduced Its already low rate , which Ito I . . . . -o\\ . , of' did. By means of these low rates , 1J.i { / ; , making posBlble 'low prices , the potato "r. i.A1 . crops of both Michigan and Maine , " ; { ! : : were finally , marltcted. Everybody , : - ' ; .i " eats potatoes , and that year every- : I : ; body had all the votatoes he wanted. , , "I While the Michigan raUroads made 1 " I J ' : ; ' : . ' rates that would have been ruinous to ! , - \ fM. ' the raUroads , had they been applied I ; , to the movement of all potatoes at a11 I . - times , to all places , they helped their : , ' patrons to find marltets then , The Doston and Maine Railroad suUered : !

The officers also arranged a program for the two days at the meeting. The Tecumseh city library board I has received a proposition from the agent of Andrew Carnegie whereby he , for Mr. Carnegie , proposes to do- nat.e the sum of $7,500 to that city for the erection of a library buUdlng. This provides that the city wll take action to provldo a fund of $ GOO per year to maintain the library. Steps w111 be taken at once to secure the new buUdlng. Corn on uplands , says a West Point dispatch , shows a marked Improvement - provement by reason of the favorable weather of the last few days , but in the bottom lands very little IJrogress has been mado.

The remains of George Dungan , the ) 'oung traveUng salesman from Lincoln - coln who was Itilled near there under- neath his automobile , were brought to II.

The disinfection of clothing Is a mi\tter which every uno should un- derstand. Ortlrnnry boiling w111 destroy - stroy nl1 sorts of dangerous germs. The boiling should bo continued halt o.n hour. Clothing which cannot be boiled Sllould bo burned or disinfected by sUlphur or formalin. Rooms must be dlslnectel by the lust'Dluned means and by thorough scrubbing with strong , hot soapsuds. Open doors and windows as widely as posslblo GO nB to allow the admission - sion of the largest possible amount of light and Ufe freest circulation of air. Remove the old paper from the walls , nnd burn It. Wash the bare walls with strong soapsuds , nnd then apply whitewash to the coiling. Cleanse the woodworle with 0. lIolution of fresh chlorldo of limo , one pound to the gal1on , Remove the carpet , from the floor , the bedding from the bcd , and every pther fabrIc from the room , and thoroughly - oughly disinfect them before replac- Ing. Ordinary scrubbing , whitewashing and vontllatlon are tlROfll1 and necessary - sary , but are not sufficient. Dillin- fectlon Is required. One of the most convenient one ! errootho means of dls , Infection ts fumigation by the burning of common sulphur. The following is the best method of doing this : Into 0. tub or a largo dishpan pour water to the depth of an inch. Place In the vesllel two bricks laid flatwlse and near together. Set upon the brloks an old Iron kottle. Put Into the kettle a proper quantity of flour of sulvhur mixed with an equal quantity - tity of pounded chnrcoal. The nmount req lred Is four pounds for each ono thousand cubic feet of nlr. Mix with the sulphur and charcoal n few pieces of newsp per. Betoro the sulphur Is JJghted , 0.11 clothing and other articles In the room should bo so disposed of as to al10w the fumes of UtO sUlphur t ( ) come In contact with them to the tuu t extent. The emcl of the fumigation Is allo very greatly increased - creased by saturating the walls , and ovorythlng the room contains , with stoam. This may bo very readily done by boiling water vigorously upon Il. steve In the room tor an hour or two previous to lighting the sulphur. Dry sulphur fumes w1l1 deBtroy growing germs , but not the dried spores which may be col1ected upon waHs and in cracks and corners. When all IB In I readlnoss , light the sulphur , nnd leave I the room as soon as It Is evident that It Is going to burn well. If the door of the room communicates with other rooms , the crncle around the door must be tightly closed by pasting thlok paper over It. The room must bo lept closed tor twonty.four hours , at the end of which time It should bo opened , and left to nlr tor nnothor twenty.four hours , when It mal 'be considered thoroughly disinfected.

Food for the Sick. 'I'hero is no branch of the cUlinary art which roqulres 11101'0 skill than thnt of proparlng footl for the slclt and feoblo. The purpOBe of food nt all times Is to supilly material for 1' & pairing the was to Wl11ch Is constnnt. ly going on In the vital econom ) ' ; and hence it ought ahva"s to be chosen with reference to Its nutritive valuo. . Dut during I1Inells and convalescence , when the waste Is often much great.- or nnd UlO vltnl JJOwers less active , It is of the utmost Impo1'tanco that the food should bo ot such character ns w11l supply the , proper nutrlUon.

Food for the slcle should bo palatnble , nutrl. tlous and easily nashnllated. To discriminate - criminate as to what food will supply these requlslt.es , one must posseSB some lmowledge of dietetics and phys. lology , M wall as of the nature of the 111ness with which the patient Is sut- . ferlng ; nnd such a Imowlodge ought to be part of the education of every woman , no matter to what clnss of society - ciety aho belongs. Hot buttered tonat , tea , rich j01l101 nnd other dainties so commonly served to the slcl" are usuaHy the VfJry worst nrtlcles of diet which they could partl1lto.
