Feeding nnd Block Test.

The experiment station at the Iowa
State college has just issued from the
animal husbandry department a very
interesting bulletin (No. 81 giving the
comparative results of feeding steers
Of beef and dairy type respectively
over period Of twelve months. This
experiment was carried on with four
steers of each type, two of each of the
following breeds being utilized: An
gus and Hereford, representing the
beef, and Jersey and Holstein the dairy
type.
Full tables of the feeds given are
supplied, together with the relative
gains of the steers individually and in
groups. Figures are given of the
slaughter test, with some brief and
valuable hints on the carcasses from
the butchers point of view by John
Gosling of Kansas City, who superin-
tended the cutting.
This bulletin may be obtained by ap-
plying to G. f. Curtiss, director Of the
experiment station, Ames, Ia.

The Necessary Number of Spray1ngs.
Arsenate of Lead.
BY Messrs. GREEN and TIOUSER, thio
experiment station.
Active, mature larvae of the codling
moth may be found in Ohio orchards
from June 80 to Oct. 13, which fact sig
nifies that the fruit is more or less sub
ject to attack during the greater part
of the growing season.
An average of results from un-
sprayed plots in three widely separated
orchards shows that had no spraying
been done In these orchards during the
past season 43 per cent of the picked
apple crop would have i@own injury
from codling moth at harvest. In addi-
tion to this a considerable quantity Of
fruit fell during the summer, a large
percentage of which was undoubtedly
wormy. The results from sprayed plots
averaged only 8 per cent wormy fruit.
In other words, 81 per cent of the fruit
from sprayed plots was free from in
jury at this time, whereas of that from
unsprayed plots only 81 per cent could
be so classed.
The figures from each of the three
orchards indicate that a large number
of sprayings are unnecessary to con-
troll this insect. In some cases the
very early spraying and in others the
very late apparently did not accom-
plish much. AS early spraying with
bordeaux is necessary to control the
scab and as the poison may be applied
in it at a very small additional ex-
pense, it is best to continue the estab-
lished practice of spraying as soon as
the petals have fallen, using both the
bordeaux and poison. After two or
three sprayings of the combined mix
ture have been given the bordeaux
should be discontinued. After this time
at least one and possibly two applica-
tions of the arsenate of lead should
be made at intervals of two weeks.
Arsenate of lead is superior in killing
power to arsenite of soda, which fact
is probably due to its sticking quail
ties.

If all ministers would entertain such
eccentric notions, as the Rev. Charles
q. Guthrie, pastor of the Park Place
Strswbridge NJ E. Church, Balti-
more, such a thing as wedding
rehearsals in a church would be pro-
hibited. This we'll known divine says:
81 will not rehearse with the parties
in any case. ."he said, "because I am
convinced that weddings with great
display and elaborate preparation work
more harm than good. OF course. if
church wedding is planned, I take
part to the extent of watching the
parties concerned, and observing how
and when they enter, but as for read
ing any part o. the service I could not
in conscience do it. I believe that
when any clergyman takes part in
rehearsal to any extent of reading the
service the man and the woman are at
the end of it just as much married as
though the license had been issued
and the contract solemnized in the
regular form. The matter of license
is merely civil check placed on the
ceremony by the State for its benefit
and protection. The divorce evil, as
it is called, in this country, has made
US laughing stock before the world.
I believe it will be found that an i'm
portant contributing cause of this lies
in the fading out of the religious idea
of marriage. One regrets to be obliged
to confess it, but church weddings are
becoming more and more occasions for
, dramatic effect, hilarity and dress dis
play, under which the religious signi-
ticauce of the ceremony is largely
smothered."

The oat Crop.

The oat crop is one that requires a
great deal Of moisture throughout the
season, and the best crop is assured by
moisture. The reason the old plan Of
seeding oats In corn stubble fails so
frequently Is because the ground is
stirred shallow and wet early in spring
time and when a few weeks Of dry
weather come it bakes as hard as the
road and remains In this condition un-
til harvest. 1t is not good plan to be
In too big hurry about sowing oats.
When the ground has dried out so 1t is
In good condition to break then start
the plow.-Ohio Farmer.

The action of the Board of Directors
of the Smyrna Public School In hav-
ing the cap and gown adopted at the
Commencement Exercises of the Public
Schools has been favorably commented
upon during the present week. The
people now see that the Board acted
wisely in the matter. The new ruling
was not done for fad nor to have the
High School graduates put on ''college
airs" There was motive back of it
that was of more serious moment and
that was to put all on an equality in
the matter of graduating dress.
Heretofore the Board has been per
picked over the matter of getting the
parents and graduates satisfied
Parents who were not able to procure
handsome gowns for their children
would take them out of school a few
months before graduation even at the
expense of high honors because they
could not cope with those in more for
tunate circumstances. The Board con-
tended that with the cap and gown all,
whether rich or poor, would be on a
equal footing in the matter of gradual
ing dress aud the events of the present
week have proven their point most
effectively. Parents who now see the
motive of the Board are warm in their
praise of the cap and gown.

For months there have been persist
ent rumors referring to probable
changes in two afternoon newspapers
of Wilmington, says the Every Even
Ing, which in short time may be
merged into new publication, under
a name not held by either. These
rumors were supplemented Saturday
by the report that the Daily Republi-
can, the oldest Republican newspaper
in the city, the Office of which is To-
Gated at the southeast corner of Third
and King Streets, had been sold to the
DUPONT interests, consisting mainly of
Col. Henry A. DUPONT and T. Cole
man DUPONT and Horace G. Knowles.
The report also had it that the inter
ests of the two concerns would be con-
solidated and a new paper would ap-
pear on the streets about July 1st as a
result.
The purchase of the Daily Republi-
can, if the report proves to be true, is
regarded as an event significant in
connection with the further rumors
about the merger of the two news
papers. It is understood that the du-
Pont political combination is anxious
for strong and effective newspaper to
advance its political interests, and it is
reasonable assumption that the mer-
ger of the two papers spoken of would
\ result in paper much more potent for
political influence than two Republi-
can afternoon newspapers, existing ai
business competitors possibly could be-

Governor Higgins, New York, is Of
the opinion that other life insurance
companies are no better off than the
Equitable, and it would not be q good
policy to act until the facts are known.
He says: Honesty and fair deal are
the things much needed in insurance
management. naturalization may i'm
prove conditions in the Equitable, but
it cannot correct them altogether. I
think that the Investments of life in
surance companies should be standar-
iEed. Whether we shall make them
conform to the savings banks stand
ard must be determined by the Legis-
lature. That there will be protection
for the public, and in the fullest meas
ure, there is no doubt" Now it ia
claimed the name of man who has
been dead 12 months has been carried
on the Equitable pay rolls at a yearly

for it said, that there are also the

condition has been received by Super

Wilmington Councilman Cannot Investigate
the Election of their Successors.
Judges in the Superior Court late
yester a. afternoon ruled that the
present Wilmington City Council has
no right to pass upon the qualifications
Of the members of the incoming body
and the contest of George A. Willis for
the seat of Howard D. Ross, Republi-
can, was dropped. City Solicitor Har-
man was instructed by Council to
bring mandamus proceedings to COM
pei the Department of Elections,
which Is Republican, to produce the
poll books for the Second district of
the First ward. The bailiff of Council
also was directed to arrest witnesses
who failed to appear before Council
last night. W. s. Cloud, a Democratic
inspector, was arrested and his at
torney. Andrew @. Gray, brought
habeas corpus proceedings for his
release. This brought the question
before the Court. Willis would have
had hard work to secure his witnesses,
as the most important of them are said
to have been spirited away by Repub-
lican bosses, who fearing that the
vote buying, voting men from bogus
residences and voting repeaters on the
names of criminals who are at the
workhouse would be exposed.

THE HORN FLY.
Spraying With Kerosene Emulsion
In a Convenient Building.

Spraying With Kerosene Emulsion
In a Convenient Building.
Kerosene emulsion will be found one
of the most effectual remedies not only
for horn fly, but for other parasites at
lacking live stock, such as lice, fleas,
etc, and it is most effectual for rid
ding henneries and piggeries of the
troublesome pests so common in many
sections. The Virginia experiment sta
ton in a bulletin OH the horn fly de-
scribes building suitable for spraying
operations. 1t is recommended that it
be constructed in a sheltered place,
convenient to supply of clean water,
and the doors so constructed as to en-
able one to control drafts during high
winds, as such interfere with the
spray At the sides of the building
doors of suitable size should be ar
ranged, so that after the spraying Op-
erations are completed for the day
these may be thrown open, thereby al
lowing free access of sun and wind to
the building for the purpose of drying
up the moisture which has been caused
by spraying.
Results of Spraying.
The first attempts at spraying will In
many cases prove discouraging on ac-
count of the resistance cattle frequent
ly make to passing through a spray.
This will soon be overcome by patient
perseverance and more quickly If only
one or two nOzzles are allowed to oper-
ate at first. Experiments at the Vir-
ginia station have been most crafty
ing, daily spraying for two weeks hav-
ing reduced hordes of horn flies to a
point of insigniicance. The solution
kills them during the animals passage
through the spray, which requires
about five minutes. Fifteen gallons Of
diluted solution, representing three
eighths of a pound of yellow soap and
one and half gallons of kerosene oil,
is sufficient to treat q hundred cattle
when accustomed to the operation.
