met in this day. Half a century hasrolled by since such heroes went forthto battle, and in that period one byone the soldiers of the '40'a have beenmustered Into the army that is in theunknown. Only three of these grayand grissled warriors are known Inthis part of the United States. Theyam Captain Shepherd of Butte, andFifer P. P. MoDaniels and J. R. Camp-bell of Anaconda.

ANACONDA CLUB.One Ho red san Tean kames as the list

of Charter Members.A meeting of the members of the pro-

posed Anaconda club was held lastevening at the Montana. The commit-tee on membership reported that 110names had been secured. There aremany more who had not been seen andare likely to jdian.

Mr. Gehr a an submitted plaos and aproposition in behalf of the MontanaButchering company, offering the clubcommodious quarters on the secondfloor of their new block. which theywould rent, with water and heat, for$125 per month.

James Shields said he had a proposi-tion to make, but had not had time toperpare his plans, and as there are oth-ers contemplating building, it wasthought best to adjourn for anotherweek and postpone definite action. Theclub will therefore meet again nextThursday night at the Montana, anda full attendance will be called for, asthe permanent quarters will be se-lected at that time. The meeting lastnight was well attended, and thereseems no doubt that the undertakingwill be a success.

peritmeters and potato growhesuenessiat prevented the scab by -merstin the seed potatoes oi eld aidone-hal hours in a corrosive saintlesolution, using two ounces of the~pound to 15 allons of water. Thelutmon is most readily made by sutdissolvin the powdered corrosive psb-lmate in a few gallons of hot -tprand then ading enough cold wartlomake the required 15 galloa.s

Since the solution corrodes ma is,only wooden vessels should be Ied.A barrel makes a very good receptees,and the potatoes may be easily hea-led by putting them in coarse sacksfor the immersionk. It not fairly o*onthe potatoes should be washed bsrtedipping; after they have been takenfrom the solution and dried they maybe cut and planted as usual. The ear-rosive sublimate is very poisonous andmust, therefore, be handled with greatcare.

At the station last season scabbyseed potatoes treated In the mannerindicated above produced a crop en-tirely free from the disease. Boll, whenonce infected with scab, will retain theliving germs for a number of yeats,and it is believed that It may becomeinfected from natural drainage andmanure, as well as by a scabby potatocrop. For such grounds the treatmentwill not be as effective.

It is %ways desirable to plant cleanseed ow1oil that is free from the dis-ease, but smooth potatoes, apparentlyfree from scab, may have the germson their surface if they have been Incontact with diseased potatoes. If -tatoes are known to be scabby th yshould be dug as soon as mature, si ethe scab continues to grow as long asthey are In the ground.
