There Is no doubt that petroleum,

without injury to the trees. while the
same oprator's applications on another
lot will kill many of the trees. Nat.

alone until more Is known concerning
1t. 1t is n somewhat general practice
among nurserymen and fruit growers
to use petroleum during the summer,
and there can be no objection to this,
provided a solution not stronger than
20 per cent of kerosene is used with
water. This is n weak solution, and
can not injure the trees and as wash

the young scale and keeping the older

stronger remedies may be applied.

Artistic Dining Rooms.

AS the dining-room is frequently the
living room also, 1t should receive all
possible care. If 1t is fairly large, has
hard wood floor and deep window
or two. 1t may be thing of beauty.
The floor should be polished or waxed.
preferably dark, and strewn with
bright rug or two. The furniture should
match the floor, although a lounge and
chairs upholstered in blue and white
cretonne are desirable for comfort and
cheer. The lounge must be broad and
low, with several durable pillows. This
will be appreciated by the head of the
house. Wall paper in delft blue is most
effective, although the color scheme
may call for different style.

To boil green corn strip off the husks
and remove the fine, silky threads "a
small vegetable brush serves well for
this purpose). Put into freshly boiling
water and cook from ten to twenty
minutes. Cook only until done. for IL
boiled too long the corn hardens and
its flavor is impaired. To greatly i'm

creamery Men Ignore Law.

State Dairy Commissioner B. P. Nor
ton is seriously considering hauling up
one of some three hundred delinquent
creamerymen who have failed to file re-
ports according to law. Mr.. Norton sent
out from his office letters to those cream
erymen who have not yet made the re-
port as required by law beginning:
about the first of May this office sent
you blank for creamery report and
stamped envelope for reply; also later
notice was sent you about May %. We
have had no reply from your creamery,
and SO send you this third notice, and
enclose blank and stamped envelope for
an early reply" The same difficulty
was experienced last year, many of the
reports not being received until late in
the fall, and then only after repeated
notices were sent to certain of the cream
cries. There are now in Iowa 900 cream
cries. About 65 per cent of the total
number have complied with the law by
fling reports; the remainder have either
neglected the matter or else have openly
refused to carry out the instructions of
the dairy commissioner who is acting
under the statute.

pOys on the Farm.

The prosperous farmer looks for
ward to the time when he can retire,
and go to town and live In comfort
in his old age. The successful busi-
ness man lays up money against the
time when he can buy country home
and live in retirement in his latter
years. In these cases the pleasure OF
each lies in the thing his working years
denied him. But the boy almost in
variably wants to 80 to town or stay
in town. Why? The enemy Of the
country is the country school. 1t opens
up a large world to the boy whose
horizon was bounded by corn rows or
the woods pasture. Good roads, rural
mail routes, easy transit, f1ourishing
money market and the spread OF the
simple beauty of the fine arts will
keep boys in the country. It is the
loneliness, the lack of comforts, the
ugliness of weeds and the unkempt,
slovenly condition of farms and farm.
houses that makes a boy hate the
whole thing and long for pavement
and smoth-cut grass and ready
money and companionship. The time
will come when the farmers life will
be what the poets call it now, but It
can come only through those elements
that make city life desirable Also
