well, and if he so desires he can in the
same mixture fight the apple scab and
other fungous diseases, says Professor
Weed of the New Hampshire station in
a recent bulletin.
The spraying method Of fighting the
cankerworms aims to cover the leaves
with fine particles of poison SO that the
young worms will eat it and be killed.
When an orchard is infested by can
kerworms, it is very desirable to spray
once before the blossoms open. The
insects begin Matching early in the sea-
son. If trees are not sprayed until aft
er the blossoms fall, considerable DAM
age will be done before the worms are
killed. One spraying when the buds
are in the condition represented in the
cut will be of much service. Another
should be given as soon as the bios
SONS fall, and if the cankerworms are
very numerous a third a week or ten
days after the second will be desirable.
The spraying may be done either
with paris green, Scheele's green or
arsenate of lead. Paris green may be
applied in water spray at the rate of
a pound to 200 gallons of water, with
pound or two of fresh Stacked lime
added to each barrel of the mixture to
render all the arsenic insoluble and
thus prevent injury to the foliage.
If arsenate of lead is used, it should
be bought in the form of a paste and
may be used at the rate of three
pounds to fifty gallons of water. This
poison has these advantages over paris
green: First. there is no danger of
burning the leaves. so that it can be
put on in stronger mixture; second, it
remains in suspension in the water bet
ter; third, it adheres to the foliage
more evenly and longer, and, fourth, it
may be seen upon the leaves more
readily. so that the thoroughness of
the spraying may more easily be deter
mined

with warm, soapy water, washing only
a small surface at time and drying it
quickly by rubbing it hard with fan

oil and a half pint of kerosene, wet a
flannel with the oil mixture and rub
the cleaned furniture. Rest half an
hour before taking a fresh piece of
flannel, and then by vigorous rubbing
polish the wood until it shines like

A MEMORY.

We love to recall the old Wisconsin
woods as we knew them forty years
ago; we would once again walk through
the shaded aisles of untouched beech
and maple forests, take in the music of
the woods-the bark of the fox Squir-
rel, the chatter of the black and gray
ones and the cackle of the wild pigeons
as each hunted for and Toasted on the
beech mast; lie quietly on a couch of
red maple leaves by the side of the
woodland creek and see the wood duck
preen his glorious plumage in the sun
light and a deer come timidly down to
the head of the pool to drink; take an
other look at the old coon tree and lis
ten to the faroff bay of the hound on
the trail of a deer and the drumlike
beat of the ruffed grouse in some alder
thicket 1t is only memory now, for
the woods are gone and the deer and
the pigeons and the grouse and the
squirrels all gone. All the music is
hushed. The autumnal color and splen-
dor went with the forest. The spring
is dried up and the woodland creek is
only a legend. 1t is now pork, pota-
toes, tobacco, elections, telephones,
daily papers and all the row of civilized
living.

Feeding a Bull.

r. w. Clark of Auburn, Ala, says a
bull that fattens easily should not be
fed refuse roughage, as seems to be
the common practice, but he should
have food of the best quality i'll
amounts suitable to his condition,
which is determined by his flesh and
activity. His food should be more or
less succulent and fairly heterogeneous.
These two qualities in the food, with
plenty of exercise, will very materially
reduce the number of slow serving, I'M
potent bulls. Mr.. Clark believes the
question to be one wholly of food and
care, which should vary with different
animals.

Fertilizing Tomatoes.

The impression is quite prevalent
that the tomato does not require heavy
manuring. Experiments that have been
conducted at a number of stations
show that the tomato is plant that
quickly and protitably responds to the
use of manures or fertilizers and that
the maturity and yield are very largely
Influenced by the method of manuring
and fertilizing. Experiments conduct
ed by the New Jersey station have
shown nitrate of soda to be one of the
best heterogeneous fertilizers for this
crop.

Notwithstanding that good authori-
ties in the dairy claim that salt in but
ter is a preservative and while it is
true that salt is to some extent an anti
septic, it has no appreciable effect as 4
preservative in the quantity in which
it is used in butter. 1t serves principal
ly as fiavoring material. The amount
of salt, therefore. to be used in sailing
butter depends upon the taste of those
who are to eat it. If that taste can be
ascertained. as it can in the case of
private customers or as regards our
selves, the problem of sailing can be
easily settled. About an ounce to a
pound of butter is the quantity of salt
usually added to butter that is to go
into the general market However.
some butter is sailed in double that
quantity, but such butter is usually for
a special trade A vast deal of butter
that is made on our farms is injured
by poor salt. Nothing but the purest
salt sho1ld be used in dairy products,
and the purity of salt can be readily
ascertained.

Lime supply For Poultry.

One of the best materials that poul-
tryman can use for supplying the req
uisite lime is oyster shell or any other
variety of shells. An experiment in
this direction was made at the New
York experiment station, and the result
was such that the use of oyster shells
during the laying season, where they
can be cheaply obtained. was strongly
recommended. 1t was found there that
one pound of oyster shells contained
sufficient lime for the shells of about
seven dozen eggs.
Shells are not the only source for the
lime necessary for eggshells. Bones
also contain large percentage of lime,
as is seen from the following analysis
of clean. dry bones of oxen and sheep:

Fresh green bones also contain, be-
sides the lime compounds. some pro-
tein or flesh formers which add to their
value as poultry food. The best way
to render the bones available is to have
them broken by means of the bone cut
ter One pound of the green bones is
generally considered sufficient for six
teen hens. Besides the cut bones or
oyster shells the hens must have gen.
erous supply of some kind of grit. very
coarse sand or broken crockery. The
grit serves as teeth for the hens. and
when they are unable to obtain it indi-
gestion and other ailments are sure to
follow.

fined to the south and southwest, where
it is grown to some extent as forage
crop, but generally for green manuring.
In the north its greatest value is its
power to renovate wornout soils. 1t
should be remembered that it is a hot
weather plant, and the seed must not
be planted before corn planting time;
that it 'goes down. with the first au-
tumn frost and that on poor soil better
results may be secured by planting in
rows and cultivating than by broad
casting.

A few years ago Professor William
Roentgen of the University of Amster-
dam became famous the world over by
discovering the y rays. Since that
wonderful discovery the Roentgen ma
chine has been brought to the aid of

has proved of incalculable benefit in
modern scientific surgery. 1t now
Eeems probable that the dairy interests
are to be benefited through the appiica-
lion of Y rays to milk for the purpose
of sterilizfng. 1t is claimed the expert
ment has been tried with success and
that the power of the X rays to kill
bacteria is remarkable. The time may
come when the sterilizing watts now
commonly used in creameries will be
displaced by Roentgen machines, and
every egg packing establishment will
have one or more of these machines to
candle" the eggs. When the kerosene
lamp displaced the candle for testing
eggs, it was considered a vast improve
ment, and when the modern sixteen
candle Edison light was installed it
was considered ii great leap forward,
but il the y rays can be successfully
applied to egg testing it may make

of eggs could be exposed to the ma

To Determine When Cream Is Ripe.
The following is an excellent test for
determining when cream is sufficiently
ripe for churning: Litmus paper turns

that is in the least degree acid and will
show a blue color if the substance is
alkaline. 1t will cost but a trifle and
can be obtained of any druggist. Sim

Temperature For Cream.
Cream should be ripened at temper
ature Of 70 to So degrees f., owing to
the length Of time in ripening and the
amount of acidity when started. The
texture of the butter depends upon the
changes of temperature brought about
during the ripening process. To get
good, firm texture in butter it is neces-
sary that the cream be subjected to d
temperature below so degrees f. for
several hours some time during the
ripening period. Colorado butter makers
differ as to the best time to held cream
at this low temperature. Some hold
that it should be cooled Immediately
after separation to below 80 degrees f.
and held at this temperature. Others
claim that the best plan is to hold the
cream at a temperature favorable for
the growth of Tactic acid gerlns-75 to
