winter, / think in February. The fol-
lowing summer the foliage OF the or
chard was much better than anything
in the country. l had two other or
chards and compared it with them and
noticed that the foliage on the orchard
that had been sprayed was very much
healthier than the others. l noticed
also that there was scarcely any blight

hundred trees, but in the other two or
chards I had considerable blight.

Forage Crops.

Our pastures and meadows should be
conserved in every possible manner,
and one of the best ways of doing this
is to have a number of forage crops
that may be used at time of year when
the grass supply fails. In early spring,
midsummer and late autumn there is
generally a shortage of feed, and these
are the times when of all others the
cattle should not need to wan
der over the pastures and
meadows tramping them down
and lessening their productive pow
err. The shortage of verdure makes
it necessary for the cattle to do an
unusual amount of walking, with con-
sequent hardening of the surface soil.
In the wet times, spring and fall, espe-
cially, the injury is great, as the
tramping breaks up the ground and
drives the grass roots into the mud
where they are destroyed. Forage crops
may be put in from early spring to
early autumn. Among the kinds to be
grown might be suggested fodder corn,
vetches and rape. When crops for for
age are sown in late summer or early
autumn of course only the quick ma
turing varieties should be used.

American Fruits in Europe.

Professor John B. Smith. state en-
tomologist of New Jersey, has just
returned from abroad, where he went
to investigate the restrictions against
American fruits. Professor Smith also
investigated the methods of handling
insects in European countries.
With regard to the fruits Professor
Smith aseertained that it would be
practically impossible for American
fruits to be shipped into France ex-
cept by treaty arrangement. French
officials have an idea that all Amerl-
can fruits are tabooed. If the fruit IS
forced through there is so much red
tape about it that the fruit spoils be-
fore it reaches the hands of the GUS
toner.
Efforts to exclude American fruits
have been abandoned in Holland, the
professor found, but in Belgium very
few American fruits are received. VI
ficials in Germany, he said, seemed to
be fair-minded and disposed to treat
shipments more considerably. He
found that at Hamburg, while there
a consignment of sc, 900 barrels of ap-
pies was received.
Professor Smith believes that Il
American fruit shippers will treai
their customers fairly there will be
no trouble about the SAFE Of American
fruits in foreign countries. Everything
is sold at auction and never by surface
show. One barrel in every ten is
emptied out upon the floor and the sale
is made upon the condition of the frul1
thus displayed. The nan who puts a
lot of poor fruit at the bottom of the
barrels stands a poor show. Professor
Smith was agreeably surprised to find
the American fruit exhibit at Paris
surpassed those of other countries. He
also found that the French commission
merchants were greatly interested in
these fruits, and it is his opinion that
next year there will be a noticeable
increase in the demand for Jersey
fruits.

In 1919 Sion r. Bostwick was born in
Alabama. A few years later his pa

lily with them. Young Sion grew UP on
the Texas frontier and became an ex
pert horseman and rifle shot. When,
in 1885, the Texans ~revolted against the
tyranny of the Mexican dictator, Santa
Ana, young Bostwick became a mem

Rangers, and saw hard fighting. The
next year after the fall of the Alamo,
he took the field again, and 1t was on
this expedition, while serving as a
mounted scout, that he, with two other
soldiers, had the good fortune to cap
ture the Mexican general, who was ar
rayed at the time in the uniform of a
private soldier. Their prisoner was
taken before Gen. Sam Houston, who
spared his life, and persuaded him, a
few weeks later, to sign q treaty of

Sheep News.

Wyoming correspondents report that
grass on the Johnson county range is
so burned out by drought that it is
crisp and brittle under the foot of the
pedestrian. Stockmen expect to be
compelled to feed their sheep and cat
tie through the winter.
To demonstrate that frozen Aus
tralian mutton can be shipped in good
condition to this country, a spring
lamb killed and dressed in New Zea-
land, has been sent to ar importing
firm in New York. 1t reached there
on the steamer Majestic, after trans
portation of IL, 900 miles. 1t is good
and solid despite its long journey Of
seventy days. In view Of the fine quail
ity and the c~neapness and abundance
of lambs in Australia the experiment
is regarded with much interest by
local butchers.
Sheep camps in the Wyoming noun
tains between Battle Lake and Grand
Encampment are threatened with de-
struction from forest fires. The herd
ers have been forced to drive their
Focks high up in the mountains to get
feed, owing to the scarcity of both
feed and water on the plains below,
and it is feared that many of these
herders have been surrounded, with
their focks, by the flames. Nothing
can prevent the progress of the flames
except a heavy rain. 1t is estimated
that the loss thus far, exclusive of the
millions of feet Of fine timber. will be
over $500, 000.

The claim Of Cover that he has the

was not elected. Not merely O. plurali-

majority was not for Cover, and that
is all he car make OF it. The election
may fail altogether by reason of the

OF the ineligibilty of the successful

SHAPE OF THE CORONA.

Professor Hanskys prophecy as to the
shape of the corona. as it would appear
in yesterdays eclipse. was n remarka-
bly, correct forecast. Sometime ago
Professor Hansky, who is a noted
scientist. drew a sketch of what he pre-
dicted the corona would look like. The
shape of the corona of different eclipses
as seen and sketched is different in
every instance. In some eclpses OF the
past the corona was seen to shoot out
much further from the sun than it did
yesterday, and In other eclipses its
volume has been hardly so large. The
eclipse of 1867 showed up corona more
closely resembling the corona seen yes
terday than any other that has been
sketched in the nineteenth century.

NEW PHENOMENON.

A phenomenon never before witness
ed among the phenomena Of an eclipse
or the sun. so far as is known, was
claimed TO have been seen by several
visiting observers. When the sun was
nearing total observation the darkness
was very pronounced in the west. \
great black sheet seemed to reach out
over the horizon in this direction.
Against this darkness. the observers
say they saw n rainbow circle for three
or four minutes before Luna hid the
sun.
