Bitter Rot of Apples.

The Missouri State Fruit Expert
ment Station is conducting experiments
ia several orchards in South Missouri,
for the purpose Of preventing the dis
ease known as Bitter Rot of Apples by
the use of Bordeaux mixture. The
trees have been carefully sprayed
throughout the season, and the value
of this mixture for the purpose will be
thoroughly tested again.
Last year this Station carried on
spraying experiments for the preven-
ton of this disease. and the results
show that Bitter Rot can be largely
prevented By later sprayings with Bor-
deaux mixture, and it is recommended
now that the growers spray their trees
for this disease.
Owing TO the extreme droukh tha.
has prevailed over practically all OF
South Missouri this season there has
been but little danger from the dis
ease mp 70 the present time, however.

in few orchards. As soon ss the
rains come it Is probable that the dis.
ease will spread. should the weather
be hot, and if this mixture is kept on
the apples and trees from now until
gathering time, much loss may be pre-
vented. It is probable that fully fifty
per cent of the apple crop last year
was lost owing 10 this disease. Il is
important that our fruit growers be on
the lookout for It, and check II should
it appear.
In several of the experiments that
are being carried on by the Expert
ment Stations, the apples on the spray
ed plots were rusted considerably by
the Bordeaux mixture. owing to the
repeated sprayings without any rains
intervening. In the Station spraying
experiments last year, the last appli-
cation was given to the trees the I'd OF
August. This year some of the plots
will be sprayed later, probably up to
September 10th.
Bordeaux mixture consists OF fresh
lime and copper sulphate, in the pro-
portion Of FIVE pounds of fresh lime
and five pounds of copper sulphate to
fifty gallons of water. Care must be
taken in preparing the mixture and
it. especially at this season
of the year. The Station viii be glad
to furnish complete directions for
making this mixture to all who may
desire them. JOHN I. STINsoN,
Director.

A FIGHT In THE FOREST.
sraphic Description of n Fierce Bat
tie Between Two Bull Caribou
for Cows Favor.

Once more the caribou confronted
his slit-eared rival. says Macmillan
Foster, in Atlantic. The others
strength and resources had grown,
700. His horns matched. almost, in
their bigness the bulls broad spread,
and he was big, too, in bulk and limb.
0onh! Unhi he grunted. Els COW, ly-
sng hidden in a thicket, revealed her
self, walking with q slow, stretching
stride out into the open barren The
bulls crests hung low before their
swollen necks and names bristhng with
eager rage. The cow coaxed urgently,
as if gleeful of the coming encounter
for her sake. She piled back and forth
along the prospective battle-ground,
watching, waiting; then the cham
oions swung together with q crash
The night clattered with the sound.
The bulls antlers changed Like meeting
metal. Their palms gritted as they
strove and struggled. grunting, gasp
ing, fire in their eyes. Unh-unh! They
locked their horns anew, their shaggy
heads shaking, and the froth flying
with the strokes The moon arose.
staring down upon their baresark
frenzy, while they drove their hoofs
into the soggy soil, and each time they
shocked together the solemn reaches
of the wilderness changed with the tu-
multi. Standing al distance. the cow
whimpered and whined and roile5
across the open ground with moaning
intonation At the call, the two fought
with further maddened energy, and
at last, inch by inch, the slit-eared RI
val began to give way. His head was
matted with blood and froth. his eye
was dim and evil. At the first sign of
conquest the coming victor piled him
self anew to conquer He lunged back
suddenly, and again sweeping for
ward, his hooks straining for the inn
pulse, launched himself upon his foe.
Clang-eIang! Their antlers struck to-
gether, wrestling. The Slit-eared bull
fell back. He tried to turn and hy,
but the victor numerically pressed
him down. They wrestled then anew,
their antlers graphing Like arms,
when, with a sudden, swift onslaught,
the slit-eared bull was hurled back
ward, yanquished and half dead With
his last remaining strength he fed TO
cover, the victor's prongs thudding
on his ribs and thighs, while
the cow, calling low and clearly, bade
the victor return to her charms. Thus.
In the rising dawn, old scores were
wiped out, and the memory of dis
graced defeat lived down.

MINERAL WAX I'M AUSTRIA.
Resinous Substance from the Earth
That Resembles the Product
OF Bees.

Ozocerite. or mineral wax. is resin
ous. substance In many respects re-
sembling beeswax- 1t is found in Aus
.ria-Hungary, Russia, Roumania.
Egypt, Algeria. Canada and Mexico,
usually in connection with rock salt
and coal; but. so far, it has not been
discovered anywhere in sufficient
quantities to pay for the mining ex-
sept In the province of Boryslaw, in
the Austrian province of Galicia, and
TO limited extent at Tchelekan. an
island on the west coast of the Cas-
plan sea, writes Consul Frank W. Hoss-
field, of Trieste, according to the De-
troit Free Press.
The existence of mineral wax in the
petroleum district of Boryslaw was
known about a century ago, but for
more than so years it was turned 10 no
account. In 1854, one R. Doms, mer-
chant of Lemberg, opened mine with
view TO utilizing ozocerite for illumi-
hating purposes. He also invented q
lamp adapted to the employment of
his combustible and had it patented.
The successful working of his mine
attracted the attention of large num-
Der of spectators, who proceeded to
buy from the poor peasants small tracts
Of land known TO contain deposits of
coveted material, and TO sink shafts
upon their holdings. until in 1865 there
were around Boryslaw, on an area of
only 63 square miles, no less than II 900
ozocerite pits, varying in depth from
25 to ITO feet. Want of working sur
face and bad mana cement in time COM
PEELED by far the larger number Of
mine owners TO discontinue operations,
and those who have not been weeded
3ut under the operation of the mex
orable law of the survival of the ittest
now seem TO do a moderately lucrative
business.
Mining operations are commenced
oy sinking a shaft and connecting it
by galleries with the beds. or nests"
containing the wax. Sometimes it
happens, when nest is being opened,
that the enormous pressure of the
gases shut up in the same causes the
soft mass of wax to be forced out with
great yehemence. Such occurrences
greatly imperil the lives of the miners,
who are compelled TO fee to some
higher part OF the shaft for safety.
An official investigation made in 1898
showed that during the previous year
the ozocerite beds of GaIicia covered
an area of 1,142, ,s9s square yards, and
that there were ~ different mining
concerns, employing SAB operatives.
The output in that year was 7,06s, ,92o
pounds.

the 95th year of his age. Uncle Dick.
as everybody called him, was born in
Fiuvauna county, Virginia. an Janu.
ary 29tb, 1928. From his birth TO his
manhood the writer cannot give de-
tails, but he was raised as most other
boys of that proud old state, by re-
spected and wealthy parents. He was
one of twelve children, two boys and
ten sisters. Uncle Dick was the
youngest of his fathers family, and a
great fayorite in the family. by both
white and black. He descended from
sturdy and highly honored pioneer
family of Virginia They came from
England in the colonial days of our
country, and were known as long
lived and vigorous people.
He was united in marriage TO Ma
tilda F. Clarkson in 1S4S. She was a
sister of our late Judge, j. G. Clark
son. To them we're born children,
5 of them are yet living to mourn the
loss of a father, his wife having died
ten years ago, and he was laid by her
side in the Annapolis cemetery on the
18th inst. His remains were brought
down by his only son, j. G. Omohun-
dro, Mrs. Clara E. Craine and Mrs. En-
ma G. Savage, and several relatives
and friends from St. Louis, Bismarck
and other places.
At the breaking out of the civil war
when State Rights was in danger,
when Virginia had seeded and called
upon her noble sons to come TO the
front, E. u. Omohundro was found in
that noble and dauntless command
with Robert E. Lee and other distin-
guished Confederates. In 1861 he
volunteered in Pendleton's artillery,
Juhal Early's corps, and defended
For four long. wearisome
years stood by his cannon called

it was fred until the close of the war.
Heart-broken he made his way home
TO his wife and little children, and
when he reached home new conditions
awaited him. The ravages of war
had made him poor man, his slaves
were gone, other property had been
taken from him, and his health was
shattered, but he struggled as best he
could to raise his family. But the war
and the way it terminated. pressed so
heavy upon him. that he never was
the same man. He often said that he
would never surrender until God in his
wisdom called him, and this he has
done. DAVID CLARKsOS.

Dear Frieasds-This il our sixth day

The driving in the streets is appar-
emily reckless. Automobiles go whiz-
ziug and carriages in long strings
where six can go abreast rush along
so that it Is sometimes hard to catch
moment for crossing when one is afoot.
In some streets there are little raised
places where oue may take refuge and
stand while he looks for another chance
to get on. All omnibuses and many
street cars are double decked, and are
usually full, not crowded. for no more
are admitted than there are seats for.
The bus fare is 15 centines (3cts.) on
top and 80 centimes inside. II it is
not hot the top is best because you can
see so much better. We can get along
fast on the underground road, but
there are many steps to go down and
up, and nothing can be seen enroute.
On some accounts it Is pleasant sailing
on the Seine, but here. too, there are
many steps to go down and up. Every
public building has many broad steps
