As for Ihe captain of thjB Toothpick, he merely chuckled at the chagrin of his enemy, who had blown away $70,01(0 in torpedoes without scoring a point. The timber-carrier came wallowing into port, somewhat more unsteadily than usual, it is true, but with her oargo intact. The only comment of the skipper when he had presented his colorless oflicial reiiort concerning the incident was: "Thundering lucky ihey didn't plump one into the engine-room amidships! Then we should have been knocked out!" Some people actually break down from overwork, but that is one malady that never develops into an ejiidcmic BO that it is necessary to quarantine •gainst it. aged, and there are great opportuni- ties for economy in the home con- sumption of poultry raised on the farm. The advice, so fretjuently given, to keep a really useful garden on every farm, should be followed in these days, and the proper stocking of the farm cellar with the best of potatoes, vegetables and roots should be well, attended to. An account of the saving made by these practices, should bo kept, and credit gi.-en to the farm. The opportunity to .-ave money by means of the use of fuel produced on the farm, is rapidly disappearing in the older districts, yet many chances in this direction are let slip with a resulting loss in two directions. Too often are unrerounorative crchards allowed to encumber good land breed- ing disease that is carried to more promising fruit plantations, when by a little labor the tree could be turned into fuel that would take the place of the coal which is being purchased at 11 high price. This woi1< would na- turally be done during the Winter, when other farm operations are not i pressing. i The matter of saving of house rent: is one that should give the farmer i great cause of thankfulrvess in these' limes of high values of urban real H.itale, as he would ijuickly realize if j forced to maintain himself and family , on double his pre^ at cash income j weri' he removed to the city. It was found, by means of a sur- vey of 1,000 families representing widely separated sections in 11 states,! coiulucled by the United States .Agri- i cultural Department that the average ; annual value of meats consumed per . family (other than poultry) was .'i:i07,2u; of poultry pro.lucts, $65.40, ! and of dairy products, $98.3(5. The iiuantity of dairy products consumed per family was eiiual to 2,040 quarts of milk. The total value of food consumed was found to vary directly with the j per family amount of meat used. .\s the relative value of meat consumed increases, the total value of food con- I sumed per family increases. I Families living on their own farms | reported higher consumption of food ! and a larger percentage of fooil de- I rived ilirectly from the farm than of ' those living on rented farms. The average iiuantity of fruit canned an- nually per family .was found to be 1*22 (juarts, of vegetables 32 quarts. In spite of all these umiuestionable sav- ings, the credit for them is too often denied the farm; and it must be ad- mitted that these savings in the cost of living can be increased by a deter- mined effort. Origin of I'otato DiHeascs. From the consumers' side, the quea- tion of marketing potatoes is of ihe greatest importance, especially so in years when the prices for this com- modity are advancing daily. The of- ficers of the Fxperimenlal Farms re- cently had an opportunity of inspect- ing (|uaiitities of potatoes in the con- sumers' own cellars. The potatoes had been purchased in the ordinary way from small dealers. The condi- tion of the potatoes Was most uiisatis- faftory. In three cases the amount of rot came up to 75 per cent, of the total quantity in storage. This rot was the common Late Hlight rot, and was certainly present when the pota- toes were dug, and before shipping,.
