SPRAYING ORCHARDS.

Many Parasites Are Destroyed by the
Use of Good Insecticides,
Spraying experiments that have been
conducted for two years at the Missouri
experiment station indicate that apple
scab can be prevented by the use OF
bordeaux mixture. Four applications
were found more ef1icacious than three.
In orchards SPRAYED in 1894 there was
less scab than in the unsprayed ones.
Bitter rot, while more destructive than
usual, was less prevalent on trees
sprayed with siN-pound solution of
Bordeaux mixture. Attacks of codling
moth were not prevented by the use Of
arsenites, the injury being due. the
author thinks, to a second brood OF
the moth appearing after the use OF
arsenites had been discontinued. Bor-
LeauN mixture was efficient in causing
less loss from plum rot where the trees
were sprayed weekly throughout the
ripening period. At this time ammoni-
acal copper carbonate solution is recon-
lnended, as it does not leave sediment
that Injuries the appearance of the fruit.
Paris green was used with success for
REFRESHING the curculio.
If Paris green is used for destroying
the bag worm on evergreen trees, as
soon as the eggs are Matched, at the
rate of one pound to 300 gallons of wa
ter, the bag worm will be destroyed
without injury to the trees. If the
worms are two-thirds grown. double
the strength of the insecticide will not
kill the worms. Strong solutions OF
arsenites cannot be used ON evergreens
until the wood is ripe and the weather
dry.

THE FARMING WORLD.
VALUABLE TESTS.

They Establish the True Value of
Milk Fat In Cheese Making.
., The relation of milk fat to yield of
cheese and the consequent value of milk
lat as basis in paying for milk for
cheesemaking, is the subject of Bulle-
tin ITO of the New York experimental
station at Geneva, N. Y. The contents
are based upon the results secured by
making analysis of the milk of so herds
OF cows, whose milk was taken to
cheese factory. The work covered an
entire cheese making season of six
months. from May to October. 1t is
shown that in general the cheese yield
is somewhat greater for pound of fat
III poor milk than in rich milk. For ex-
ample, comparing two milks contain
ing respectively three and four per cent.
OF fat, the former makes 2.S5 pounds of
cheese for each pound of milk fat, while
the latter makes 0.25 pound less or 2.60
pounds of cheese for one pound of fat.
It is shown that this difference in favor
CT cheese yield for fat in poor milk is
only an apparent one, because this diff
ference of O.25 pound is made up of
casein and water, which is really not as
valuable as separator skimmilk cheese,
and which has market value not to
exceed two cents per pound. The con-
stituents in 100 pounds of cheese made
from the richer milk are worth more in
the market than are the constituents
from 100 pounds of cheese made from
poorer milk. Milk rich in fat can be
made to yield cheese of the same CON-
position as milk poorer in fat in one of
two ways: (1) by adding skimmilk
to, or (2) removing fat from, the rich
er milk; then the cheese yield for a
pound of fat becomes the same. The
difference in the cheese yield of milk
fat in the case of poor milk over richer
milk is skimmilk difference, and the
extra yield of cheese for fat is the poor
est kind of skimmilk cheese. It is
to weight of milk furnished is exceed
ingly unfair to the producer of richer
milk. 1t is shown that the cheese yield
by itself does not constitute a fair
basis for payment, because it gives poor
milk an undue advantage. A critical
comparison of all methods of paying for
milk, suggested or in use, leads most
emphaticaly to the conclusion that milk
lat affords the fairest practical basis to
use in paying for milk for cheese max
ing. In conclusion it is pointed out
that where the milk fat basis is used.
there is no tendency to adulterate and
defraud, while there is every encour-
agement to produce milk of better
quality.

ChlCORY IN INDIANA.
A Montgomery County Farmer Tells
of His Experience with 1t.

"a 1AAo CAPCEACASc Will
Last spring bought five cents worth
of chicory seed and planted it in my
garden. This fall dug four bushels of
chicory roots. AS I had never seen
any of the stuff before, did not know
what to do with it, but hearing it was
substitute for coffee, concluded to
try an experiment. washed the roots
carefully, slicing them into thin strips,
took them to heading mill and put
them into box used for drying head
ing timber. In three days they were as
dry as powder. I ran them through
little hand bone mill, which took
me about IS minutes, and found | had
over b'1shel of chicory meal. This
meal my wife roasts or browns in thu
stove, the same as green coffee, but
it takes much shorter time.
1t is not a complete substitute for
coffee, but if used with it cannot be de-
tected from the pure article. We use
two-thirds chicory and visitors declare
they cannot tell it from pure coffee
l think it should be largely used, as
coffee is not healthful, if medical author.
i1y is to be believed, but chicory
never was known to have any bad eff
feet unless used in excessive quantity,
when it sometimes results il dysentery.
Again coffee is expensive while chicory
costs but very little. What l raised
from five cents worth of seed will last
| large family five years. Let some Of
our wide-awake farmers in each COM
munity try it and it will not be long
until large coffee bill will be cut of
from almost every family. The only
trouble will be the drying of tho
roots, which must be done thoroughly
yet almost every town has some ap-
raratus by which it can be done. 1t
can be ground in an ordinary coffee
mill-Orange Judd Farmer.

stayed at home On this occasion, and
like wall the invited guests stood at
both sides of the passage leading to the

they put in an appearance. Amid tn:

Queen Wilhelmina looked truly charm

adorned with only few white roses
fastened on the right shoulder. The
only jewels she wore were strings of
diamonds braided through her blonde
hair, the brilliancy of which was, how

face. While hundreds crowded to the
throne to obtain the honor of being pre-
sented to the young queen, she looked
several times over into that small part
of the ballroom where some devotees
of the art attempted to dance. Shortly
after her arrival a ''quadrille of honor
was danced. Queen Wilhelmina arose
and danced this quadriue with the Rus
