may be done either by raking and burn
ing them or by plowing them under in
the spring before the spores are shed.
The planting of varieties which are
naturally less subject to the scab is
also to be considered as a preventive
measure. Spraying for the prevention
and treatment of this disease has PROV
ed OF unquestiOned value and a paying
investment to the apple grower. The
nrSt application made before the buds
open may be copper sulphate solution,
which is cheaper and easier to prepare
and use than bordeaux mixture. By
many growers this application is con-
sldered the most important one for fun
gous diseases and should not be neg
lected. After the leaves appear it will
be necessary to use bordeaux mixture,
the first application of this spray to be
used just before blossoming. This is;
the most important treatment of the
season. The second after the blossoms
fall and two or three other applications
at intervals of ten days to two weeks
will prove beneficial, especially If the
season is a wet one. The final spray

APPLE sCAB FUNGUS ON LEAVES.

cially if the weather at this time is un-
usually cool and moist This causes
the young fruit to shrivel and drop off,
often greatly reducing the crop of ma
ture fruit
The most characteristic effects Of
this fungOus parasite, however, are
found on the fruit itself Here the
spots at first appear much like those
on the leaves, but as the fruit devel-
ops the fungus works under the cuti-
Gle, or outer layer of the skin, causing
it to scale off. These spots on mature
apples have dark brown or blacklsh
color, with a narrow border of Il light
gray color The spots are usually most
numerous around the blossom end of
the fruit. On badly affected fruit the
spots run together, sometimes cover
ing One-third of the surface. Deep
cracks often occur i'll such cases, which
allow the apple to dry out.
Apple scab is without doubt the worst
disease affecting this fruit. This is
due not alone to its destruction of the
foliage and young apples or to the TN
slightly spots which it causes on the
mature fruit. In addition to all this.
it opens a way for the entrance of nu-
merOus rot producing fungi into the
tissues of the mature apple. Thus dur
ing the seasons of 1902 and 1903, which
We're characterized in this state by an
unusual rainfall, great quantities of
apples were lost soon after packing
and in storage and even during ship
ment through the agency of these soft
rOts following apple scab. In some
cases apples affected with scab began
rOtting while still attached to the trees.
the loss amounting to four-fifths of the
entire crop.
The fungus of apple scab thrives dur
ing moist, cool weather, especially dur
ing the early part of summer. Fruit
grown on closely crowded trees where
air and light are shut out appears to
be more severely affected than where
the opposite conditions prevail. There
rore location securing good ventila-
ton, proper spacing of trees and sys-
tematic pruning are to be considered as
preventive measures in the case Of
this disease. 1t has been found that
the fungus passes the winter on the
fallen leaves, appearing as minute black
bodies buried in the leaf tissues. From
these are given off, in the following
spring, the first crop of spores which
attack the lower leaves, the disease
later spreading to all parts of the tree.

American woman wished to be pre-

quired into her social standing at home
objected. They represented to her that
the king could scarcely receive the

POSITION DURING SLEEP.
Slightly Raise the Head and Lie on
the Right Side.

The main object of sleep is that every
organ of the body should have perfect
rest. The brain, the lungs and the
heart have been, not inappropriately,
called the tripod of life" as upon
them hangs the prosperity Of the whole
frame; hence we slightly raise the
head to check the flow of blood to the
brain and more or less quickly find out
the position Of greatest ease for lungs
and heart
This will be found by sleeping for
the greater part of the time on the
right side, for nearly two-thirds of the
heart is on the left of the medal line.
and the apex points closely to the
smaller left lung; hence the fullest and
freest play possible should be given to
the left side.
A quiet pulse, diminished respira-
ton and refreshing rest are all COM
bined when open windows, moderate
warmth and unchafng heart work to-

The conclusion is easily reached that Judge Carroll D. Wood will carry that county by a good ma. jority. Of course there are hun dreds of voters in the outlying dis trict who have had no opportunity to join thls club, who will vote for Judge Wood. Governor Davis has issued circular dcnouncing the members of this club. The club has also issued circular which emphatically denies, and reasonably disproves every one of the governors asperslons. The club also gives some reasons why Jen should not be reelected. The first one is as follows: "He is run hing for third term.
