Is becoming wide spread in the t nited States Tills is the silver scurf, which attacks and de slruys the outer skin and causes ctls coloration and loss of moisture Silver scurf in Its early stages of in faction under moist conditions causes blackish olive patches on the surface of live potato Later the potato is eov ered with depressed patches of greater or less extent, and as the disease pro greases tiie infected areas increase In diameter and the fungus penetrates deeper into the tubes As a result it is not uncommon to find the yghole sur face of a potato discolored, shrunken and shrlvelpd Experiments have been made with the use of formalin solution, similar in strength to that used for scab. One test showed that this treatment -OX per cent formalin solution either kill ed or materially Inhibited the growth of the fungus, while another test eon ducted by the officials of the depart ment of agriculture did not produce so satisfactory results Experiments are now in progress to determine further ihe value of forma lln as a means of controlling this dis ease • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • a W H A T ’S W H A T IN ORCHARD.

The events connected with the Exo dus easily lend themselves to poetic treatment.. Their spiritual teaching is frequently referred to In the Scriptures. \Thou hroughtest a vine out of Egypt; thmt didst drive out the nations and pbintedst it\ (Ps. lxxx, 81. \When Israel was a child, then I loved hint and called my son out of Egypt\ (Hos. xl, D. \As In the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt will I show unto him marvelous things” (Mie. vit, lot. The events of the wilderness njurney are rehearsed in Ps. Ixxviii in order that those who read the fer vent recital \might set their hope in God and not forget the works of <;nd, but keep his commandments\ t'verseTi. Ps. ev is a summons to sing \Hallelu jah.\ \Praise ye Jehovah,\ in commem oration of the wonderful works of God on behalf of the people of Israel. Our study of this psalm must be supple mented by the account- of the plagues given in Ex. vii. 8 , to xl, 1ft. * * • The writer is tracing the course of events from the days of a lira bam and points out hew the corenant was confirmed during successive generations. \Israel also came into Egypt.\ This reference is to the Journey of Jacob from Canaan in response to the invitation of his son, Joseph, the governor of Egypt fGen. xlvi and xlviii. \The land of Ham.*’ This was the ancestor of Mrzraitn. the Hebrew name for Kgyitt. literally it means ‘The two Mizrs\ and refers to upper Egypt, with its capital at The- iies. and' to lower Egypt, in the delta regie®, whose capital was Memphis, twelve mites sooth of Cairo. Compare Gea x, 6. “He increased Ms people greatly.\ The subject is Jehovah, through whose blessing the descend ants i t Jacob prospered iu the tend of fbrtr adoption (Ex. 1 «i, “Stronger than their e a r n D ie fart f la t they were increestog ia each mnsbees alarmed Ptarnei, so that tee took fesl stem to yrcrect f t *He Cursed tilely \ They adopted crafty schemes, hut in the end they failed Ps ev, ifi-ffti.

The dark ness was perhaps caused by the hot electrical wind called the Harnsln, which blows for two or three days at a time, it is felt like a hot blast, charged as it is with sand and fine dust, so that the air is darkened. “They rebelled not against his word.\ By this time Moses was held in awe by the Egyptians, and Jehovah his God was viewed with reverence iEx. xi, 2. 3). “Waters into blood.\ This was the first plague which defiled the sa cred river, causing considerable dis comfort during the seven days that it lasted. * * * \Frogs in abundance.” * • • ‘-idvers sorts of files and lice.” * * * \Hail for rain.” In an agricul tural country like Egypt, where fiax, wheat and spelt were cultivated, a hail storm can do untold damage if it comes in January or February, when the crops have about ripened. This was Just about the time of the sev enth calamity. “Flaming fire.\ Light ning and thunder came with the hall storm. * * • “The locusts came.\ The country had hardly survived the deso lation caused by (he hall before a doad of locusts was drive* b y the east wind.

While the conductor w as climbing hark on to a ear Lusher fired the shot. A hrakeman came up behind him and held him till other ein ployeps of the road gathered round, took him in charge and at the next town turned him over to the police. Another cowboy, Rhattuck, a pal of Lustier, was on a rear car of the same train. He testified that he and Lusher were traveling together; that they were accustomed to travel on freight trains; that on such occasions they usually separated in order to attract, less attention, and that if one were put off a train the other fired a shot from his revolver as a signal of the fact to the other, who then left the (rain. Lusher, backed by this testimony, claimed that instead of shooting with inteut to injure the conductor he was merely giving the usual signal to Shat- ttu k. who was on one of the rear cars. There was no one in court, including the prisoner's counsel, who did not consider this plea very farfetched. The case looked bad for Lnsber, for If convicted of trying to kii! the conduc tor he could not hope for a less sen tence than five years at hard labor in the penitentiary. When the jury was about to retire the prisoner said to the judge; \Tour honor, does any one y ere think that I've been goto’ around with two revotrers at my hips for ten years for nothin’. D’ye suppose I couldn't hit the man’s body if I wanted to? AH 1 ask irs for the court to be adjourned outside and I'll show what tomfoolery this yere trial is.\ There was something so convincing in this argument that the Judge ad journed the court, and judge, attor neys, Jury end spectators, fighting ci gars, went out Into the courthouse yard to find out why the cowboy missed the conductor. The prisoner’s pal, Shattock, consent ed (ft be shot st.

Lush er then tied a stone to the thrpnd and: from the same distance as he had, • •racked tiie nut cut the thread at th» middle. By this time it begun to look as if, had Lusher been vindictive toward the* conductor, hp rouUi pave cut off an par, darkened nu eye or put a bail through the center of his heart with out half trying .some one suggested as much, lint I,usher declared that if lie was to lip ( indicated he wanted the vindication to lie satisfactory and pro ceeded w i t h the exhibition. Borrpw- ing a hunting watch from a juryman, he opened the case, which was highly poiishpd and would serve for a re flector. Pointing to a break in the bark of a tree about two inches in di ameter, lie walked twenty puces from it and, still keeping his back towurd it, caught the target's reflection iu the watch ease, fired over his shoulder and put n bullet in the improvised mark. At this the spectators cried, \Acquit him!\ The judge ordered the jury back into the courtroom, and as they were proceeding thither the prisoner cut a hole in each of their hats with out scratching a head. \You quit that,\ cried the foreman angrily, “or you'll get ten years!\ When court was resumed and the jury had been charged the foreman spoke a few words to tiie jury in a low tone, then arose and said; \Y'onr honor, the jury finds that the defendant is not guilty of attempting to kill the plaintiff. Furthermore, if he had intended to kill the plaintiff he could have shot off his fingers and toes separately, chipping off pieces of him till there was nothing left but his heart to keep on beating. Further more, it wouldn't tie safe to convict him unless he's unarmed and no weapr on within ten miles, for he could kill every mother's son of us before we could get him under.\ \The prisoner is discharged,\ said the judge, following the verdict with remarkable activity, and, stewing down from the bench, be .took the pre caution to grasp the cowboy's hand fervently .that he might make peace with Mm before be had a Chance to - shoot Every man in the courtroom insured Ms own safety Ity following the judge’s example, l i s t of all came the conductor, who told tbe acquitted that whenever tee and bis f riend .. wtefhed. lo ride on Ms train to step ’ rigtet into the caboose Raff If tee would aerify him a sam p f«na tench would be provided..
