CLEVELAND, Ohio, March IG.-The
Episcopal church, which tried Rev.
Howard Mac Queary on the charge of
heresy, today voted him guilty by a vote
of three 10 two. On the question of
pun shment, Revs. Gallagher and Smith
voted to let him go scot free. Mr.. AYES
thought he should be suspended, while
Morgan and Putnam voted for expulsion.
The verdict means Mac Queary will leave
the church. The opinion of the court is
not yet made public. Mac QuearS Is
rector OF the Episcopal church at Canton.
Ohio. The cause of his arraignment for
heresy was a book he wrote, in which he
denied the immaculate conception and
physical resurrection OF Christ. He held,
in brief. that Gods spirit entered Christ
and made him a perfect man, and that
when he arose from the dead il was a
spiritual and not a physical resurrection.

WASHINGTON, MaIsh l6.-NO further
action will be taken by the federal author
tiles at Washington until after the receipt
of Governor Nichols reply to Secretary
Blaine's telegram. Secretary Blaine has
received a number of kilograms from
Italian organizations in different parts of
the country protesting against what they
term "an outrage, and demanding that
all Italian citizens be properly protected.
The matter Is almost the sole topic of
conversation 10 diplomatic circles. and, so
far as can be ascertained, the general opin
ion is that the state of Louisiana and not
the United States must be held respon-
sible. The demand for idemnity would.
of course, come from the Italian govern
meut through its minister resident, and be
transmitted by the secretary of state TO
the governor of Louisiana, and it repu
dated by that state it would be submitted
to congress for such action as might be
deemed advisable.

Fortunately there are several species
of parasites that help to keep this in
sect in check. In young orchards the
larval cases are easily picked off dur
ing winter. They may then be burned
or, what is probably better, carried to
q considerable distance from their food
plants, and left on the ground, thus al
lowing the parasites to develop and es-
cape. The leaf-crumpler larvae are also
liable to destruction by spraying with
paris green or London purple. and may
easily be held in check in this way. In
orchards regularly sprayed for the cod
lin moth this, as well as other leaf eat
ing apple pests, will rarely prove
troublesome. Not only should all the
larval cases possible be picked off dur
ing winter, but spraying should be
commenced early also. The larvae are
more easily and protitably destroyed
while young and tender, and before
they have done much damage to the
leaves and flower buds. One great rea-
son why fruit growers often fail to

spraying until the harm is done

what.like molasses, having thickened in

which consists in covering the honey
about to be subjected to heat, with
half an inch of cold water The crust
and the whole of the acid portion, if
any, on top of the granulated honey,
should be removed previous to placing
the cold water on. After melting
there appears about the same quantity
OF water on top rs when placed on at
first. When the honey has been allowed
to cool down to q lukewarm condition,
the water covering should be poured
off. Honey that was originally clear,
and has become thick and cloudy by
being melted without the covering of
water, will not alter. if melted again

HOW TO FILE A SAW.

Anyone with Good Eyes and Steady
Hand Can DO 1t.
As farmers frequently have occasion
to use saws, and as saws will become
dull from use, and since anyone with
good eyes and steady hands can learn
to sharpen one, few directions may
be useful. The first thing required is
saw clamp. This mag be obtained
from the hardware dealer, but home
made one may be substituted If
vice is at hand. it may be made to hold
the clamp, which consists of two, one
inch thick, soft wood pieces, about the
length of the saw blade and three
inches wide. The upper edge of each
piece is given long bevel on one side
SO that the wood will not be in the way
of the hands. Lay the pieces together,
beveled side out. Fasten loosely by
screw. This is simply for convenience
in handling. Place the saw between
the jaws of the clamp SO that the teeth
are just clear of the wood and fasten it
firmly to the vice. Take three-cornered
file provided with handle Ia corn cob
will dol in right hand. Grasp the point
with the thumb and first two fingers of
the left ard stand in front of the saw
where the light falls clearly upon it.
You will notice that each alternate
tooth is set in opposite direction from
plane OF the surface of the saw, and
that the edges of the teeth are beveled
in like manner. If the saw is dull
these bevels are probably rounding i'm
stead of fat and the points of the teeth
worn off. Stand SO that the hands.
holding the file, will move back and
forth in the direction of the bowels OF
Iha teeth Flo the teeth leach alter
nate one) until the bevel is straight
and the edges and points are sharp. be-
ing careful to push the file straight
ahead without letting it rock up and
down, and doing all the work when the
file is going from you. Always lift it
clear of the teeth when drawing it
back. When all the teeth set one way
are sharpened, turn the saw around
and file the others. - Orange Judd

FEEDING FOR MILK.
Effect Of Various Feeds on MIX an I'm
ter Production.

Effect Of Various Feeds ON Milk an tut.
ter Production.
The experiment station at Geneva.
n. Y, has been trying the effects of
various feeds upon milk and butter
production. The bulletin says:
while wheat bran has been good
milk producer, yet when fed without
other grain it has been found inferior
to corn meal, but in combination with
other grain foods it has given better
results than when fed alone. The but
ter was inferior to that produced on
corn meal, being much lighter coiored,
not SO good grain and containing a less
per cent. of olein.
'Of all foods thus far experimental
with, linseed meal proved itself the
greatest butter producer. The milk
yield invariably fell off when we sub
stituted linseed meal for corn meal,
bnt the fats increased. thus producing
a larger yield of butter In one ex-
pertinent there was fed hay. corn meal
and wheat bran with the following re-
suits: Milk per day. 20 lbs. ozs.: milk
for l lib. butter. 2l.3 lbs; butter per
day. 15.4 ozs.: per cent. of water in
butter, 1919. In the second period
linseed meal was substituted for the
corn meal, otherwise the ration was
the same as in period one: Milk per
day, 20 lbs. or: milk per lib. butter,
1872 lbs; butter per day, 1s.5 ozs. !; per
cent. of water in butter, 1905. A slight
falling off in milk, but 5. ] lbs. less milk
required for a pound Of butter.
From experiments made the follow
ing conclusions are drawn: That the
chemical composition of foods does not
always show their relative feeding
value as butter producers. That some
grain foods increase the yield of milk
without increasing the fat in the milk.
That some foods diminish the milk
yield but increase the butter fats. That
linseed meal produces less milk than
corn meal, but more butter. That the
butter produced under linseed meal
feed contains an excess of olien. there
fore is soft and oily. That the best
butter was produced when a combina-
tion Of several Of these foods was fed
together
