FRUIT TREE BORERS.
Valuable suggestions Condemned
from a Bulletin of the Oklahoma
Experiment Station.

Many orchards suffered heavy and
unnecessary loss during the last sum
mer from the attacks of borers. Most
farmers do not notice that there is
anything wrong with the trees until
the leaves turn yellow and begin to
fall in midsummer. After this stage
has been reached there is little hope
for the tree, and it dies before frost
A glance at the tree will be sufficient
to see that the bark on the trunk 10
dead and black In irregular spots and
lines. Just beneath the dead bark 10
the borer's burrow filed with worm
dust. If large spot Of bark is killed,
the bark and wood begin to rot, and
are soon filed with . mushroom
growth which develops the fruitina
portion on the outside Of the trunk and
resembles that which is seen on rot.
ten logs. The rot may hasten the
death of the tree, but tree that ID
sound and free from blemish is very
seldom if ever attacked by this rot
The best thing to do is to keep the tree
free from borers and other injuries
The land should be kept free from
grass and weeds and well cultiva ted
Good, clean cultivation is worth more
than all the washes and dressings thai
can be applied to prevent borers. A
good wash. however, is often worth
many times what it costs to apply ant
will do much toward preventing th'
attacks of borers and other insects
A one-pound can of concentrated ly'
dissolved in two or three gallons o
water makes very good tree wash
Another good wash can be made o
one-half pint pine tar, one-half pin
carbolic acid, and two gallons sof
soap. These washes can easily be ap
piled with an old whitewash brush or
swab made of old rags tied on the en-,
of stick. The wash should be al
piled two or three times to the trunl
and large limbs during the spring an
early summer.

VENTILATED DAIRY BARN.

tie in poorly ventilated stables has
been cattle diseases, and no doubt is
one of the causes of tuberculosis,
which has destroyed many herds in
this state. Much of the poor milk
which goes to the creameries is caused
by the conditions in the stable.
The best material with which to build
stable is pine lumber. I would not
build stone stable. They are often
damp. I would use matched lumber
for the walls of the stable, putting it
make a dead-air space. l would build
the stable only nine feet high, and so
keep the warm air down where the
cows are; 500 cubic feet of space is
sufficient for each animal if the stable
is we'll ventilated.
You can build a cement floor as
cheap as you can build plank floor,
and it is much more durable. You
can have plank for the cattle to lie
on If you wish. For the foundation
of the cement floor nothing is better
than cobbles, or small stones, grout-
ed. For the top layer use Portland
cement and sand in proportions of
two to one. Be sure the sand is clean
and sharp. Make the top layer about
two inches thick, and do not make it
too smooth.
The King system of ventilation is
now acknowledged to be the best, and
is explained by the cut.
The outlake fues are &c c" with an
opening at I'd" provided with door
or some means of opening and clos
ing. The flues have their opening
about 1s inches from the floor, pro-
vided with a damper, one on each
side, passing up through the ceiling
and out at the highest point of the
barn. They can be built of wood or
galvanized iron. Wood is preferable
ON account of being nonconductos
Of heat.
They must be tight and thoroughly
insulated in order to maintain . tenn
perature of the air high enough to
prevent condensation. One fue. one
foot by two feet inside measure, will
be necessary for every 10 to 10 cows
The intake due 'E f." as shown with
an opening st a. with the outlet
a. "B," need not b over six or sever
inches in diameter, and is also pro
vided with dampers. No definite rule
can be given for the number, a. mucl
win depend upoa openings near thu
doors of the barns. /.
For the best results the stabl'
should be ceiled with matched lumbel
as closely as living room. and thel
provide all fresh air through thes'
intake Aues. Usually, under thes'
conditions, two of these small intake
should be provided for each larg

Using skim MIX Pront.bly.

Skim milk properly fed is good
feed for cows, calves, pigs and chick
ems. Which will pay the best price
for it depends always upon whole
lot of things. What might pay one
man the best would not another.
Skim milk is good protein food,
having a nutritive ratio of about one
to two. Fed to good pigs with wheat
middlings and corn meal will make
them grow. 1t will also make a
calf grow. If one man had good pigs
and poor scrub-bred calves he would
get more value in feeding to pigs.
With good calves and scrubby pigs
the reverse would be true. A COW on
good pasture would show poor re-
turns for the milk, on poor pasture
she would show good returns. Thus
you have it. Take your choice and
go ahead.-National Stockman.

sensible Methoa of D.iryin.,

At a recent farmers institute at
Knapp, Wis, one of the points
brought out was that the most profit
able method of dairying in Wisconsin
is for farmers to procure small sep
arators, separate their cream by
tread-mill power at home, preserve
the cream from day to day in re-
frigerators, and deliver 1t to the
factory once or twice week. A
factory for this work can be con-
structed very cheaply without any
separating machinery, and the farm
er not only saves the expense Of de-
hvering the milk daily, but has the
warm skim MIX 70 reed.

Snake, Eggs and a Jug.

A party of Jacksonville mechanics
were at work on the Matanzas river
some months ago raising a sunken
dredge boat. They lived on board OF
the big lighter on which they worked
in a small house on the deck. One
noon their bill Of fare was somewhat
strengthened by some wild turkey eggs
which had been found by some Of the
party Wills hunting on shore, At
ter the hungry engineers had destroyed
a heavy dinner they left their dining
room and returned to work. The
doors and windows were all open, and
the cook did not clear off the table
for some time.
In this interval large water moe
casin of near six feet crawled on board
the lighter and wriggled into the din
ing-room through the open door. In
his prospecting tour he climbed the
table leg, and here, with snakes
fondness for eggs, he went in for feast.
One of the turkey eggs lay alone by
plate, and the rest were in dish on
the other side of the table. In the
centre stood a large water Jug, and
right here the willy serpent slipped up.
After swallowing the lonesome egg, he
started for the main supper, and IN
his artless manner crawled through
the handle of the jug. It was rather
tight fit, and he had to stop about half
way through on account of the egg,
which enlarged him somewhat. So,
stretching forward, he bolted another
egg, and thereby fastened himself.
On each side of the jug handle was
an egg on his inside, and he could
move neither backward nor forward,
practically riyeted in position. He
was soon found in this peculiar posi-
ton by the cook, who speedily killed
him.
The reporter was shown the skin of
the snake with crease still in the
middle from the tremendous pressure,
and he was also permitted to gaze on
the jug whose handle proved so fatal.

Mr.. Rouss's Substitute Sees.

This is story that comes from New
York.
John F. Martin, penniless and blind,
on whose eyes those who hoped they
could cure Charles Broadway Rouss
and win 81 100000 first experimental,
says he can see.
According to Martin, Mr.. Rouss
heard yesterday that his sight was
being restored, and last night sent his
coachman to the little room at No 1872
Elizabeth street, occupied by Martin,
to inquire if the reports were true.
Martin has been blind for fourteen
years. Charles Broadway Rouss has
walked in darkness fewer years than
that.
1t was that offer that brought Mar
tin and Mr.. Rouss together. Thous-
ands rushed with suggestions and OF
fers of healing. He hired John Mar
tin, the drug clerk, to take his medi-
cine for him.
April 6, 1898, Martin began 10 take
the medicine for Mr.. Rouss. He sub
mitted himself to every sort OF tor
ture. His eyes were taken out and
scraped. They were rubbed with fiery
liquids. Nicola Tesla subjected him
to 100000 volts of electricity. The
only result was that the blind man lay
unconscious for an hour. lie gave it
up. Now comes after all those years
Miss Churchhill, quiet little fakir
with an easy graft, and announces that
she has cured Martin by laying on
hands, being possessed, she AYERS, of
superior man power that comes from
above.

Wants His Money Back.

Justice of the Peace Imboden Stall
maker, of Harmon, W. Va, has de-
cided novel and interesting suit.
Robert L. Raines, Democrat polltl-
ciar, who last fall was the nominee OF
his party for member Of the Legisla-
ture, sued Mrs. Arthur Galley for
S27.O2, making her husband code
fendant. Raines was deeply enam-
ored of Miss Ella Sarter, and for two
wears spent as much of his time in her
company as she would permit.
He declared that she engaged herself
to marry him and on the strength of the
engagement he spent sundry sums OF
money, aggregating $2702, which he
would not otherwise have spent. a
few weeks ago Miss Sarter surprised
Raines by marrying Arthur Galley,
school teacher who had been Raines 5
rival in a mild way. Upon Raines
hearing it he at once demanded repay
ment for what he had already spent
and threatened suit. Galley and his
wife laughed at him, 20 Raines
brought the action that was tried
today. Raines presented an itemized
statement.
Among the items were ice cream,
oysters, church contributions, a Fourth
of July dinner, small jewelry and
money loaned. Hon. ]. B. Scott rep
resented the plaintiff, and Hon. S. Il.
McLane the defendant. The girls at
torney brought out the fact that Raines
charged up the icecream and other
things eaten by himself as well as
that served his sweetheart. Justice
Stalnaker decided that he had no jur-
isdiction in a breach-of-promise suit
which, he said, this had proved to be
and referred Raines to the circuit court
