but when Il man breaks in on my grief
with the fiddle it is going too far"
Mrs. Bowser begged and pleaded. but
he was firm. He was so firm that he
didn't wait for his hat. He passed out
doors and through the gates and rang
the bell of the next house, and it was
the man of the fiddle who answered his
ring"
Il want this riot stopped!' said Mr..
Bowser, with his usual promptness.
"W-what riot?' asked the wondering
neighbor

"Yes, but I am In my own house. I
think you live next door, don't your"
Exactly. and while l am grieving
tonight over the death Of my second
cousin In Nebraska you are saving
away on blamed old fiddle. 1t must
be stopped"
"Oh, II must! Well see about that.
What is your second cousin to me-?
How dare you come here and say I
must do this or that?
"Will you stop this squawking or
not?" demanded Mr.. Bowser.
"No. | won't. and you'd better get
back homeI I want no old kickers tell
ing me what must or must not do"
"SIr. my second cousin out in Ne

"Durn your second cousin out in Ne

Then Mr.. Bowser grabbed both man
and fiddle. From her own doors Mrs.
Bowser saw them cllnch and struggle
and roll down the steps and over the
grass. and the cat looked on and said
to herself that II was the prettiest
scrap that she had seen for year. At
The end OF five minutes Dir. Bowser let

were In tatters. his nose was bleeding,
and his chin had been knocked out Of

at Mrs Bowser for q minute and then
said:

SPRlNkLING WAGONS.
The Modern Ones n Big Improvement
nm the Old style,


or the Old style.
The modern sprinkling wagon is very
different from the old timer The chief
improvement is In the spray head,
which enables the driver to control the
flow OF water much better than the old
style. Thus, whether 1t Is dirt or n
macadam road or a stone paved or as
phalted street. there can be supplied
from the modern street sprinkler just
the amount of water required to lay
the dust In II without waste.
The spray head on each side has Its
own valve rod running to the drivers
seat, with a step there for the foot.
The driver can operate both heads at
once. or he can run only one head. He
can shut off one or open either one ut
pleasure With this sort OF wagon the
expert driver leaves behind him dry
crosswalks with perfectly defined lim-
It's, and when he comes to carriage or
a street car upon which he doesn't
want to throw water he shuts Off the
now on that side and keeps the other
going. Sprinkling wagons are made In
various sizes. ranging from 80 gallons
to 1000 gallons capacity. There are 20
sprinkling wagons sold in this country
nowadays where there were was one
sold only few years ago. This great
increase in their use is due in large
measure to sanitary reasons. to the
great extension OF good roads and to
the common desire for comfort.
Sprinkling wagons are used nova
days commonly In many smaller towns
and villages where they were never
thought OF some years ago. And Amor.
lean sprinkling wagons are now found
all over the world wherever sprinkling
wagons are used.
They are exported to Australia, Gu
ba, Porto Rico, South America, South
Africa and Europe. The modern sprin-
king wagon that the traveller chances
TO see In Paris or Berlin or Hamburg
came very likely from the same factory
as the one he saw here before he left
home going through his own home
street.-New York Sun.

BILE them to feed without accident E14
Some farmers condemn .gluteuf fmealI
cottonseed meal and dried brewersj
grains outright, while others shave fed
them for long intervals with. great suc-
cess. The latter fact indicates that
probably those who have had bad re.
suits fed carelessly, that theparticulaG
lot Of grain was bad or else the cows
to which the material was fed were in
some respects abnormal. In some il3
stances 1t has been reported that gluten
meal, while giving good results conN
bined with certain foods, does notawor#
well with some cows IL fed togethed
with cornmeal III
Some good feeders employ three
pounds or more of cottonseed meal :daH
ly. though it is generally held thatstwq
pounds should be the maximum daily
allowance per COW.
Gluten meal may usually be fed 'nor8

n, branch girded at a and injured at b by
cankers; =. same with dead bark rc<nc<cd; s.
typical canker
limbs with the bark marked by pits
and scars bordered by concentric lines
and cracks-the cankers-and the long
sections of bare wood where the bark
has been destroyed are found in many
localities and on many varieties. The
same germ causes twig blight often
found In orchards shoy. ing little or no
sign of the canker form and alss pro
duces black rot OF the fruit.
1t has been known that fungi very
similar to this one work on other trees
and shrubs. Tests made In 1900 prove
that this same species of fungus occurs
on apple trees, pear trees and hawthorn
trees and on apple, pear and ounce
fruits.
To cause the destructive cAn&ers
which gIrdle the limbs the germs OF the
disease must get through the tough ont
er layer OF the bark into the growing
layer beneath, the cambium. An iu5u-
ry TO the bark OF some sort is necessary
to this entrance, for the fungous threads
cannot penetrate the unbroken barn.
Sun scald as well as mechanical abra-
sions may cause such injuries. The
bark is killed by the sun and frost and
cracks or pcels, when the germ cnds
ready entrance and rapidly extends the
injured area In canker form.
Sun scald or sunburn is n common
trouble In this state. probably more
common than generally supposed. espe-
cially on tender varieties. The kong
areas OF reddish bark on the south and
southwest sides OF limbs and young
trunks are inconspicuous when they
first are scald9d and so escape notice.
but they are all too common and may
become the seat OF serious harm 10 the
trees.
Trees of tender varieties should be
protected from the direct rays Of the
sun by training them to low, thick
heads which shade both trunks and
branches. Additional protection may
be given by coat Of whltewash upon
the trunks. which helps to prevent ab-
sorption OF the suns rays and also ex-
erts n favorable influence upon the
bark itself A good mixture Is:

Lime (unsaked) ........................... w
Tnllow ...........................
Balt ........................
Dilute with water enough to make II
spray easily.
In addition 10 the protection from
sun scald thorough spraying with b.
deaux mixture and care to prevent 0c-
cidental injuries make up the prevent
i've treatment The larger diseased
limbs may be saved from complete loss
by cutting them Off back of the cankor-
ed area and inserting clons OF the same
variety.
Only n few specimens showing ef-
fects OF this trouble have been found In
America, some coming from Nova
Scotia and few from Cortland county
IN this state. The cankers nre unlike
those of the sphgropsis and are caused
by different fungus. Nectria ditissi-
