eases. The apple worm or codling
moth Injuries the fruit, and others
feed on the foliage of the various
plants, thus preventing the plant from
properly carrying on its work.
In the growing of many crops, the
growers skill is more exercised in the
combating Of these enemies than in
the cultivation of the crop. To aid
the farmer and fruit grower in this
work, the Iowa Experiment Station
has just issued a Spray Calendar
which tells just what to use for these
troubles, how 10 prepare it and when
to apply. These directions are sim
pie yet effective, and any grower can
follow them with profit. We under
stand that his spray calandar may be
obtained free, upon application, and
we would advise those of our readers
who are interested, to write the Di-
rector, c. F. Curtiss, Ames, Iowa, for
a copy.

ment and the general staff have al
ways been counting ON the effect of
the victories upon European Russia.
The question OF beating Kuropatl1in's
army and getting him out Of the way
is a secondary consideration The
great purpose OF Japan has been not
to win victories so much as to inn
press upon the Russian government
the absolute futility of Russia main
tanning in the far east such an en-
pire as would menace the national
existence of Japan. With each sue
cessive blow Japan knows that Rus
sia's danger at home increases. The
Toxic government has aimed to
gradually force the Russian armies
out of Manchuria, and several facts,
perhaps not sufficiently emphasized,
will indicate that winning battles in
the field is only a part OF, the task
of the sons of Japan. Among the
ablest "brains" of Oyama's army are
Generals Nisshi. and Hasegawa. Gen.
eral Nisshi is now at Dalny; he is
military and civil commander of that
part of Manchuria which the Japan
csc have conquered and his head
quarters hereafter will be at Port
Arthur. General Hasegawa, CONAN
der of the famous imperial guard, is
military and civil governor of Corea,
subject, of course, to the fiction of
authority of the Corean emperor.
What the Japanese armies have
marched over Japan has made her
own, and the presence of these two
Of her ablest executive and vigorous
brainy men in the occupied terri
tory back of the fighting armies is
sufficiently indicative of the fact that
the Japanese government realizes to
the full the Importance of the fac
tors in the problem before it.

CAUSE oE EXPLOSION.

Editor Herald:-In regard to the
explosion at the Zeiglsr mines in Hi.

Leader states that the catastrophe
was caused by the explosion Of car.
bonic acid. This is gross error, as
carbonic acid will not explode. Car.
bonic acid gas is poison. AS the pur.
est of gases, it suffocates but does not
explode. It is carbonated hydrogen
gas that explodes when air is present
