While an Inconsistencies Of sin may
not be proof OF absolute freedom from
its in-belng, yet It is blessed evidence
of some gracious fact, when one who
has long and oft been conscious Of up
risings, disturbances, inward friction
and division in the realm OF the tenn
pers, the affections, the desires OF the
will, IL no longer conscious OF such
facts, even under circumstances OF
dreadful occasion and temptation, but
IL. on the other hand, conscious OF a
deep, all pervading peace, purity, pa
thence and forgiving, tender spirit.
We say the inconsistencies Of sin and
the consciousness Of something very
different from sin and from ourselves
in times OF trial and at all times GER
tainly evidences, at least. the expul-
sive power Of new affection.

The Grain weevn.

A bulletin sent out from the Indiana
experiment. station says: Numerous
Inquiries have recently come to the
insect which Is described as doing
great damage to the wheat in gran
aries. With one exception no speci-
mems have accompanied the letters,
but from the descriptions given 1t is
very evident that the insect is one of
the grain weeyils which commonly in
fest wheat stored in bins.
One Of the most common of these
little beetles is Calandria granaria, a
small, dark reddish snout beetle, which
deposits its eggs upon the grain. These
eggs soon hatch into small, footless
larvae, that eat out the substance OF
the kernels, and become full-grown In
a few weeks. They then change to
pupae and soon after again transform
to adult beetles. There are several
broods each season, so they may be
found at almost any time during the
summer and autumn. While there are
several species of these grain wee wills,
the same remedy will do for all As
these insects penetrate all through the
entire bulk OF grain, 1t is necessary
to apply some substance that is equally
penetrating In its nature. This Is
found in carbon blsulphide, which may
be had at any drug store. The vapor
OF this substance is very poisonous
and will destroy all insect life with
which It comes in contact. This ma
terial Is also very explosive when
brought in contact with FIRE. Keeping
these two points in mind Il may be
handled with perfect safety In APP
plying the material II is well to keep
in mind the fact that It is very vola-
tile and quickly passes into vapor,
which diffuses itself throughout the en-
tire mass OF grain, and as the yapor is
heavier than air II will have a ten
dency to settle. But In order 10 in

We fear our readers may become
tired OF seeing this heading In the va
rious farm papers. but we assure them
there is reason for frequent mention
Of this pest. We know that some men
that have orchard stock to sell are
trying to belittle the danger, but the
danger exists In spite OF their efforts
to lull the country into fancled secur-
ity. The state entomologist OF Califor-
mia says that without doubt the San
Jose scale Is the greatest pest that has
ever menaced the orchards OF this
country. In California 1t has become
so prevalent that 1t Is no longer consid-
cred possible to eradicate 1t. The only
thing left to do is to fight 1t in every Or
chard and try to grow fruit in spite
OF II. Spraying has only the effect Of
keeping down the generations of young
ones when they make their appearance
on the orchard trees in large numbers.
But In the forests where the scale has
be effective can be done This should
stimulate the horticulturists east Of the
Rocky mountains to do what they can
to prevent the spread OF the scale,
knowing as we do that once the pest
is among our wild trees it will be i'm
possible of extinction. Every state
should take energetic measures to pro-
tect its borders. We raise troops and
spend millions to keep out foreign In
vaders when they come in the form Of
men. Why not spend money as freely
when II is necessary to repel an insect

Some Up-to-Date Hints About Gull
tivation Of the SOIL and Yields
Observation-Disclosures yitIouiturs and
Horticulture


OECuNrua III ItEu Ehtths
In an address before the Wisconsin
State Horticultural Society. Geo. J.
Kellogg said in part:
In recommending the best plan most
likely to succeed on low situations and
poor orchard soil, would go back TO
the foundation and plant four seeds Of
the most hardy apple or crab known,
such as Duchess and Hibernal or Vir-
ginia crab, plant these in a well pre-
pared spot where the future orchard
tree is to stand, protect by a bit Of
fence board on the southwest side, and
80 staked and cultivated that a good
growth may be secured; the first fall
remove all but two OF the most vigor-
GUS seedlings, bank up for winter and
II the size is sufficient to carry clon,
the following spring graft two inches
below the crown with Duchess, Hiber-
nal. Charlamoff and Virginia crab for
those kinds less hardy. II the seedlings
are too small at one year then contin-
ne the growth another season and graft
at two years.
The advantage OF grating the seed
ling without transplanting is to get the
benefit OF the whole root and in no
other way can the full benefit be OBJ
tanned; grating two inches below
ground will Insure the roofing OF the
scion; using Virginia crab as a stock
upon which at two to three feet to
graft, or bud in the limbs, varieties
which are less hardy. Such varieties as
Duchess, Hibernal Glass Green and
few others may be grated at the
ground. The gratis should be shaded
by a bit Of board till large enough to
be protected by the lath shield. Graft
two seedlings, then remove one later
on.
Second plan. Set two root gratis of
short roots and long scions where the
future orchard tree is to stand; protect
the same as before; take up the weak
est II both gratis grow; always prune
the growing tree when the bud can be
removed with the thumb; have one CEN
trail trunk and side branches at right
angles six to twelve inches apart;
stimulate the tree to early growth but
do not cultivate after July, or cause
more than a moderate growth OF wood
each year. After trees come to bearing
do not let them overbear. or starve to
death; a tree should be fed in proper
tlon to its fruitage. Most old orchards
are starved to death. The best fertll-
izer for fruit Is hard wood ashes sowed
broadcast at the rate of 100 bushels per
acre annually. would recommend for
hard places only Duchess, Hlbernal,
Glass Green. Charlamoff, Mcmahon,
Wealthy, Repka Malenka, Longheld

all but the first four top worked on Wiz

Varieties of wheat.

The Pennsylvania station has been
testing wheats for more than ten years
or those that were tested for eight
years It says:
For the varieties tested eight years
the average yield of the first five is as
follows: Reliable. 1910; Fulcaster,
32.10; ontario Wonder, Bib; Wyan-
dotte Red. 1906, and Dletz Longberry
Red, 1904. For those tested four years,
the yield OF the first three Is as fol-
lows: Royal Australian, 32.47; Jones'
Square Head, 1927 and The Pool. 31.25.
1t will be noted that the order of yield
for 1897 varies considerably from that
of all the years in which the varieties
were tested, proving that the results
obtained from single years trial, is
not an accurate test Of tho value of a
variety but that II should be continued
through at least two or three years In
order that the test be of any material
value

sure perfect results It is best to intro
duce the material well oosSn toward
the middle of the mass OF grain by
means Of a gaspipe with a screen over
the lower end, which will prevent the
wheat filling the pipe, and through
which the poison may be poured. The
pipe is then withdrawn. One pound
Of the bisulphide is sufficient for fifty
bushels Of grain. One application will
be sufficient unless the grain is to be
kept over winter, when a second appli-
cation may be necessary. The ma
terial does no harm to the grain in
any way, as the poisonous fumes all
pass away as soon as brought in con-
tact with the air outslde.-James

Stock on Western Ranges.

William Penn Anderson Of the rail-
way bureau of live stock statistics.
Union Stock Yards, Chicago, has lust
completed a canvass of the range cat
tie of the country for the Associated
Press. He says along from southern
Texas to northern Montana the grass
on the ranges, with the exception OF
a few droughty spots in the fall, was
excellent. An abundant hay crop was
harvested. and a greater number OF
cattle in proportion will be sustained
throughout the coming winter than
ever before. He also says there is
a wonderful increase in the calf crop,
as shown by the records OF roundup"
foremen on the open ranges. The
movement OF cattle and sheep to feed
lots and other eastern markets dur
ing October is almost without parallel.
There is a veritable stockcar famine
In the Rockies and intermountain
states. There are thousands OF cat
tie being held in close herd awaiting
shipment.

In draining and irrlgating, the farmers

what 1t says and whenever II endorses
an article, be II machinery, proprietary
medicine, or a man individually, we
want our readers to believe that what
we say we have good reason to under

there have been endorsements OF the
Swanson Rheumatic Cure Company, OF
1877 Dearborn street, Chicago, by this

at extra pains to investigate, and once
again we add emphasis to our former
endorsement of that company. There
may be isolated cases here and there
which, probably through neglect In fol-
lowing directions. or from exposure or
some unexplainable reason, the won
derful Five Drops remedy does not do
