what All Fruit Growers Should
Know

Fred w. Mally, professor of entomology
of the A. & M. College, in Farm and
Ranch OF Aug. y, gives fruit growers and
gardeners some advice which they must
heed if they would succeed. He says:
MY experience among farmers. fruit
and vegetable growers, during the past
two months. has thoroughly convinced me
that We have failed to impress the aver
age man sufficiently with a few OF the
fundamental principles of spraying. The
average person fails TO include the matter
of spraying, spraying apparatus ana mate
rails in his general estimates for the sea-
sons operations. The result is that Meth
er materials nor apparatus are at hand
when the time for warfare comes. and the
injurious insect can attack and often de-
stroy a crop before the producer is able
20 prepare and equip himself for the fight.
Another result IS that II any spraying is
done at all 10 is done 30 late that the
best results cannot be obtained, ana The
next thing you hear Is that spraying ig
a failure, or at least only a partial cue

DISPOsING OF THE DEAD.
4 New and Better Method Than Gem
cteries and CrematOries.
From the New York Journal.


BY the use of twenty gallons of liquid
air. which will cost cents gallon, a
human body Weighing $50 pounds Will be
reduced to six pounds of mineral matter
and phosphate of lime in thirty minutes
owing to the absence of fire the retort
may be opened few minutes after the
termination Of the combustion and the
ashes at once collected for inurnment.
This discovery made by D. Stephen H
Emmens, win be practically demonstrated
within two months, when a syndicate of
capitalists promise to have the plant in
operation.
The new crematory will be a part of the
Nyack Rural Cemetery, located a mile
and a half west of the pretty village of
Nyack.
Experiments have been going on for sew
eral months. and DR. Emmens feels con-
ndent now that he has solved the problem
OF disposing of the dead by a process that
via eventually supersede all other forms
The process, he says, is very simple
over the retort in which the body will be
placed is a metal sphere which win con-
tain the chemicals. over that is an urn
in which the liquid air will be poured.
Valve sand pipes connect the urn
through the metal sphere to the retort
the dccomposing action of the chemicals
employed and the influence of an cleo
trio arc maintained inside the furnace
the whole of the combustibe elements of
the corpse become charged with water
vapor, carbolc acid and nitrogen, which
escapes through n small flue in the form
Of -irodorous, inert gas.
After much less than thirty minutes
what remains of the body in the furnace
VIII consist of about six pounds of ashes
containing mineral matter and phosphate
of lime
The name given 10 the new process Is
auto-incineration, because it acts without
the aid of any eXtraneous fires.
BY the auto-incineration process, 1t is
claimed, combustion takes place the sec
ond the liquid air is poured into the urn
and percolates through the metal sphere
There will be no distillation and no reek-
ing vapors.
And owing to the absence of external
fire ii is possible TO conduct the cremation
in such chambers as will be arranged at
Nyack which will contain furniture, dra-
perry and other home-like details, which
will not add a single sorrowful suggestion
to the most fastidious mourner.
The Rev. stephen Merritt will act as
the president of the new syndicate, and
the crematory will be erected under the
personal supervision of DR.. Stephen H.
Emmens, OF the American Liquid Air
Company

"ONE-HORSE SHAY" IN COURT.
Mcntana's supreme Court INDUCED
in FacetiOus Quotation of the Poem

Mcntana's Supreme Court INDUCED
In FacetiOus Quotation of the Poem.
From the New York Mail and Express.
The literary world viii be surprised to
learn that Oliver Wendell Holmes famous
poem, "Thc Wonderful One-Hoss Shay"
has not only been cited as an authority by
the attorney for the plaintiffs in a suit
which recently came before the Supreme
Court of Montana, but mas also been quot
ed with approval by that august body in
It's written opinion. Probably no other
humorous poem has enjoyed greater pop
ularity than this one. 1t is part of the
earliest recohections of our school days
and It's lines never fail to excite the admit
ration and amusement OF our mature
years. It's JOv!al author might well have
hoped that this child of his wit and genius
would be given Il place among the Amerl-
can classics, but even his lively magma
ton could hardly have pictured it as be-
ing woven INTO the literature of the law
Undoubtedly ii is the first poem TO enjoy
this distinction, for never before in the
entire history OF Jurisprudence, so far as
we can learn. has a court of final resort
thrown Off the somber dignity and cold
reserve which proverb.aly surround such
tribunals and INDUCED in righteousness
and quoted poetry to the discontinue of
the plaintiffs attorney and the reversal
OF The lower court.
The case did not arise over a vehicle as
might be supposed, but involved the priv
iege of one mine-Owner to condemn the
right of way for fiume over the property
of another The Montana statute pro-
vides that the plaintiff must allege in his
petition that he has endeavored in good
faith to purchase this right of way from
the defendant, and that the defendant has
refused to accept any reasonable sum
therefor The plaintiffs in this case fail
ed to state that they had done anything
more than TO make the most indefinite kind
OF an Offer TO the defendant. The lower
court held the plaintiffs allegation to be
81 !hcient compliance with the statute,
ANA on the trial found in the plaintff's
favor But The Supreme Court, after an
exhaustive and learned discussion Of the
law Of condemnation, reversed the lower
courts judgment on account Of the insult
loioncy Of the Plaintiffs petition, and con-

Cultivation of Corn for Conservation
of Moisture.

A test of the relative values of deep and
shallow cultivation of corn on the Ne
braska agricultural experiment station
farm demonstrated beyond doubt the SUI
periority of the latter method. Four acres
of land were divided mo tracts of one acre
each, and each tract was cultivated by a
different cu.tivaIor, the same one being
used on each, throughout the summer The
same numter Of CIVILIZATIONS were given in
each case.
The culuvators used were the Moline
corn plough (BrigadisD to represent the
deep style of cultivation, and the Moline
Spring Tooth cultivator and the Superior
culiivator to represent the shallow cu,ti-
vators. In the fail the corn was picked
from each acre and weighed. The yield
was as follows:
Method of cultivation Yield per Acre.
Deep cultivation ..................59 bushels
swallow cultivation FUNDAMENTALLY bushels
shallow cultivation ..............6 SO bushels
Shallow cultivation ..............6 80 bushels
The land receiving shallow cultivation
was stirred to depth of three inches,
that receiving deep cultivation 10 a depth
of six nohes
Shallow cultivation for corn possesses
two advantages over the other method. In
the tirst place by stirring the sol 10 a
depth of only three inches The air does not
penetrate so deeply, and it does not dry
out to such a depth. A study of the roots
of the corn plant show that many of them
would naturally grow within three or four
inches of the surface, but when the upper
layer of soil is dry they cannot obtain
any nourishment from this portion of the
ground
Another injury to the corn crop from
deep cultivation is the tearing out of The
corn roots by the cultivator shoveis. BY
pruning these roots the ability of the
plant 10 secure nourishment is greatly him
dered, and the crop Injured thereby.
1t Is very important that the culuya ions
should be sufficiently frequent to prevent
a hard crust from remaining en- the ground
for any length of time

Preparing Cow Manure for Use on

where the cattle were fed last winter, and

day or so. Then with light hoes it should
be worked over and pulverzed. After it

taking care to wet the humps thoroughly.

S. J. W, Rocky Ford Ca: Il have

soon as the weather becomes very warm.
This breaking out commences sometimes
by the skin breaking like a fever blister.
The water oozing out of it seems to itch
the animal and he gnaws the place until
1t becomes quite a large sore and ap-
pears as if 1t has proud flesh in it. It
comes mostly on the legs and shakes
when the mule walks which indicates that
it Is skin trouble and not from the bone.
One sore has come on the body, starting
as pimple and this he gnawed until it
became a huge sore. These sores con-
tinue until cold weather, when they ap-

cause and give a remedy?"
There are various causes for skin dis
orders in animals. Sometimes il is in

most skin diseases. Parasites disorders
OF the kidneys or liver also produce mani
