which was witnessed by an expert OF
the German government, was con-
Quoted for the purpose of determining
whether the San Jose scale. found in
pears, apples and peaches in various
parts of the country, could survive the
process of drying fruits. That 1t does
not survive is abundantly proven. The
effort to shut our fruits out of Eu-
ropean markets began with Germany
in February last, when that govern
ment prohibited all plants. fruits, dried
fruits, parts of plants, and even the
boxes and packing in which they were
shipped, on account of the alleged pres
ence of the San Jose scale. Suisse
uuently fruits were relieved from the
embargo. subject TO an inspection by
experts of the government at the port
of entry. 1t was claimed by the Ger
man government that the scale got into
the native fruit trees and infected and
killed them. The scale. when 1t at
lacks trees. will not kill them, but no
case has ever been discovered OF scales
from fruit finding their way to the
trees. This German decree was fol-
lowed by similar ones on the part OF
Austria Hungary and Canada, but drid
fruits were not included. Other Euro
pean governments, Great Britain,
Sweden. Holland and France, took the
matter under advisement. but as yet
have taken no action. Switzerland,
however. late this summer adopted
substantially the original German de-
cree and shut out all of our dried fruits.
Exporters of this product Immediately
appealed to the state department, and
that department acted upon the sug-
gestions of the agricultural depart
ment. Representations were made to
the Swiss government of a character
deemed sufficient to cause revocation
of the decree. but no action having
been taken, the chief entomologist OF
the department conducted the expert
ments referred to. The experiments of
the department of agriculture have
extended over period of several weeks
and have been most minute and careful
in the attainment of results. Large
lots of peaches, pears and apples in
fected with the scale have been tested
by all known methods of commercial
drying, by sun drying, by evaporation,
by the use of sulphur and without,
with the result that each of these proc
esses destroys the life of the scale. In
the experiments made each scale was
carefully watched for several weeks
and after the fruit had been dried each
and every scale on every piece in the
entire lot was examined. In no in
stance had the scale survived the proc
ess of driving.

FRESH DAIRY NOTES.

Timothy hay Is poor milk producer.
Feed the cows at the same hour every
day,
Never use milk while there is fever in
the udder.
The stables in which cows are kept
should be light.
Never feed while milking 1t is bet
ter to feed just after milking.
The COW will not drink as much ice
cold water as she should drink.
Cows ought not be kept in tempera
ture below so OF above 60 degrees.
Winter dairying gives the farmer and
his help employment in dull season.
These feeds have tendency to loosen
the bowels: Alfalfa, sorghum hay, en-
silage, roots, bran and linseed meal
The milch COW must have plenty of
water and the reader knows that we
think it should be warmed in winter.
Succulent foods in winter have as
much value as medicine as they do as
food. They keep the system healthy.
The fall calf can have the advantage
of receiving abundant care, for the
farmer in winter has time to bestow it.

accompanied by typical dairy form
This COW has proved herself to be one
OF the greatest dairy COWS living. and at
the same time She captivates the eye by
her wonderful beauty of form. She
has the general wedge shape of body,
the round barrel, the loose, soft skin
and golden color, the cleau-cut heaC
and waXy horns, and above all, perhaps,
a wonderful development of udder-
not so remarkable in size as in s SPLEEN
did shape, particularly in the forepart
Note the exceeding fulness in the fore
part Of the udder. in distinction to the
Punched appearance so often seen in
that part. Her teats are large and finely
placed, and in general there is the look
of the almost perfect COW about her,
t&ke her where you will.
Perfection of form will not guaraL-
tee excellence at the pail am churr,
but the possession of it goes long
way toward giving confidence that the
pcssessor Of it has the best dairy quail
ties, as well as the possession of dairy
shape On the other hand. have rare
~ seen a COW with an absence of the
outward marks which are accepted as
indicating quality that has proved to
be of any particular merit Others may
have found merit occasionally in COW,
t'at are without dairy form or feature,
but this surely has been exceptional.
In buying dairy cows the wise course
is to consult the ancestry of the ami
mails, meanwhile comparing the COWS,
point by point, with the ideal butter

is not far away from the shape of Sig
nails Lily Flag, which is here delin-
Gated.
One has only to go about, even
through what are called our best dairy
districts, to note the great prevalence
of cows with small, pinched udders,
small, irregularly-placed teats, fat
sides and light headquarters. Some
/ herds seem hardly to be relieved by thu
! presence of even one COW that carries
in her body the signs of excellence at
TIE churn. 1t is small wonder hen that
we find such herds averaging 600 to $50
pounds OF butter year, with some OF
the cows probably not producing more
tnan $50 pounds year-if as much as
that. There are thousands of cows in
every state that are being kept at an
actual loss. the owners not knowing il,
because they never test their cows,
either scientifically with a Babcocl
tester, or practically by setting the
measured milk Of each COW by itself
fcT seven days, or even for one day, and
netting the result in cream and butter
This would show at once the cows that
are "queering" the dairy business. And
when the owner Of herd has thus
weeded out the poor COWS ! am quite
sure he will find that practically all of
these dscredited animals are markedly
de ficient in the accepted dairy form"

GERMS OF DISEASE.
Very often They Are Conveyed from
the Farm Home to the City
in MIX Pals.

Milk pals should be carefully
handled in order to keep disease germs
out of the milk Doubtless this utensil
is often the carrier of disease from one
place to another. 1t is connecting
link between the disease and the
healthy people in the distant city. A
child may be sick with scarlet fever
in the house OF some farmer that sup
plies milk to city milkmen. The fact
of the scarlet fever being in his house
is thought no reason why his milk
should not continue to be used, as the
cows are in the barn, perhaps far from
tie house. But the milk pals are
kept in the house. The germs of dis
ease are very small and very numer-
Gus. Some of them fly like dust in the
air. 1t is very easy for a single germ
out of the millions to get into the room
where the milk pals are kept, and
settle into pail. The mixer takes
the pail and does the milking, and the
milk and germ are sent to the CITY.
In the transit the germ multiplies. for
1t has delightful medium in which
to grow. By the time it has reached
the city customers the milk contains
thousands of germs and these are dis
trlbuted to numerous customers. In
most cases the people that swallow
this germ-infested milk receive no
harm from it, their systems being able
to throw off or destroy the germs. But
among. the customers are found few
whose systems are susceptible of being
made the prey of the disease germs,
and these fall victims
! In case OF any contagious disease
breaking out in the family of man
that supplies milk extraordinary pre-
cautions should be taken. The milk
! pals should never be used till they
have been scalded out with boiling
water. Even this is not sure way of
keeping out the germs, steaming being
required to make them absolutely safe.
AS most people are not i'll reach of an
| apparatus for steaming, the next best
thing is the scalding. Then care should
be taken that the garments worn by
the mixers be not those that have
been exposed TO the germs. Every
thing about the milking should be
washed, including hands and face. We
realize the fact that it would be better
If the farmer, in case of the outbreak
of contagious disease in his family,
would decline to sell his mi * for some
time, but we also know that most
farmers feel too poor to make so great
sacrifice. Unless the sacrifice is to
be made, extraordinary precautions
should be taken.-Farmers' Review.

SHOULD THEY FIGHTY
Not England and the United
States.
hut Children of All Ages and Conditions
Timely Reinforcements in the
Battle for Existence.

Perhaps you have an answer for us
10 this question all ready. And per
haps we may disagree with You
Listen to our side of the story. Is ii
not a terrible warfare which sweeps
from the face of the earth one-third OF
all children under five years of age 4?
Yet this is the history of the great
struggle in which we are all engaged
the battle of life. Some children yield
at the first approach of disease, while
others make grand struggle for exist,
ence. In this sense, then, we are all
agreed that children should be good
fighters They can best fight disease
when they are hearty and strong
We do not mean simply when they srs
fat. Fat i not muscle. They need
strong bones, sound nerves and firm
muscles. The natural food for all in
fants is milk. The fat of this food,
the cream, exists in the milk as minute
globules, resembling in this respect
the minute globules of fat found in
SCOTS Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with
Hypophosphites There is also min
eral matter in milk, and it is in Scotts
Emulsion as well. This preparation
looks like milk, and children soon be-
come fond of it. So many infants and
young children do not appear to derive
much benefit from their food. They
remain extremely thin, weak, do not in
crease in weight or height. They seem
to have some disease which is actually
wasting the body away. Their system
calls for food, and yet the food does
not nourish them. But food they must
have. They also need some remedy
which will alter or change the action
of the organs of the body to healthy
activity. There are remedies which
naturally exist in cod-liver oil that
are capable of making this change
For this reason they are called "alter-
Rtives." The hypophosphites are also
of service, as they strengthen the
nervous system, which is the great
seat of power. The poorly nournishcd
body calls for fatty food, such as the
fat of cod-l. yer oil. These are the
reasons why Scott's Emulsion hs .
proved so alluable to children. 1t Ii
stores healthy action. 1t feeds. II
nourishes It supplies needed material
to the growing body. We cannot state
too strongly the Importance of these
few early years TO future health and
happiness. Children do not seem to

MODEL DAIRY COW.
Torrance, Says Webb DonneII,
Is Very Close.

Those best qualified to judge in such
matters have long taught that there are
certain outward marks by which good
dairy COW can be told. None of these
teachers, so far As know, have claimed
that one can Invariably pick good COW
b! her outward form. There are excep-
tlons to all rules, but it is certain that
a great majority of the best dairy cows
o: the world possess in large measure
the outward signs that, grouped togeth
tr, have given us what is called dairy
form"

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Pruning The grape may be done at
any time now, when the vines are not
frozen.
Long stable manure makes u good
Eulch fer the strawberry bed. but the
objection is that it contains too many
weed seeds.
1t is claimed that liberal dressing of
salt under ounce trees as far out as
the roots extend will help to induce
bearing
Moss-covered trees will be benefited by
whitewashing of lime and wood ashes
in equal parts, wet up to proper con-
sistency with water.
The greatest enemy Of house plants IS
dust. Much of this may be avoided by
covering before commencing to sweep.
Wash the leaves occasionally.
If proper work in pruning is done at
tie time of planting the tree and for
tie next four or five years little time or
labor will be needed afterwards.

SAVING SPLIT TREES.
Unless Very Badly Used Up They Can
BE Mended with the COntrivance
Here Described.

During the heavy windstorms valua-
BILE trees are liable TO be broken down
Or split. Trees of spreading habit
should never be allowed to branch into
two equally balanced sides, as split
ting at some time or other in the life
of the tree is almost sure to occur. In
case of splitting, however, If the tree
is in full vigor, it pays to go to some
trouble to save it. BY using the method
of boiling the two parts together, as
shown in the Illustration. the tree can
