Advice for the orchardist Which
Should Be Followed as He Begins
the Fighting Of Insect Pests.

The novice in spraying cannot afford
to be SO careless about his sprayings
that he will miss the end for which he
is working. Neither should he try to
get along with the fewest possible num-
Der of sprayings. The best sprayers
have indeed reduced the number to the
minimum, but they" are experienced
men that have learned to make every
spraying count for the most possible.
In many cases 1t has been found that
SO far as the orchard is concerned, four
sprayings in spring give the greatest re-
turns, while spraying every two weeks
from the middle of April to the middle of
August give the greatest proportion of
perfect fruit, says the Farmers Review.
The additional sprayings cost more than
the additional fruit is worth, as q gen.
eral thing.
Taking all things into consideration.
the method that will pay the best con-
sists in spraying the trees as soon as the
blossoms fall and then every two weeks
till four sprayings have been given. The
sprayings must be well done If they are
to be of any value. Slipshod work will
not prove effective in preventing the
ravages Of insect and fungous pests.
Leaving the work to the boys is never
profitable. It requires mature Judgment
and thoroughness to do the work as it
should be done.

ROAD REPAIRING.
How the Road Problem Has Beer
Solved Successfully in One Coun-
ty in Indiana.


There is vast amount Of money spent
each year in maintaining the roads Of
the country. This money is too often
spent with small consideration Of the
important question of how to get the
most for the outlay. The time is sure to
come when there will be wiser plan for
disbursing the millions that are SO free
ly given by the people to improve their
roadways.
In certain county in Indiana the
people were agreeably surprised at the
outcome of an experiment, or rather an
innovation, writes c. M. Ginther, in
Farm and Fireside. 1t had always been
the custom in the township to elect
farmers to the Office of road director, or
supervisor. Notwithstanding there
was an abundance of excellent gravel
close at hand. the roads were in bad con-
dition. So bad had they become that q
number of places were actually impassa-
BILE at q time when such condition
should not in any reason have prevailed.
How the idea started is not known, but
the word was passed around that a
change was desired in the kind of man to
be voted for. Farmers had always held
the Office, but the idea was presented
that it would be fair to consider men,
Der of some other class or profession as
being eligible to the place. Consequent
~, after much planning, physician
with an experience of 30 years practice
was selected as the candidate for the
place. He was elected, and at once as
sumed his new duties. He declared that

ond SALE"
DR.. Caldwell's experience in the woods
taught him long ago the wisdom of con-
sentative forest management. Thirty
years ago when he came into possession
of tract of about 700 acres near Pa
ducah, he sold quantity of the timber
for wagon stock. At that time forestry
in this country was virtually unknown.
DR.. Caldwell, however. was sufficiently
foresighted to allow no trees to be cut
except those which he selected. He went
about in the woods and picked out trees
whose tops and general appearance
showed they had passed their period of
greatest vigor, and trees which inter
fered with promising young growth.
His forest has been culled q number of
times in the past 30 years, but so wisely
has the cutting been done that to-day the
land will average from 10000 to $4,000
board feet per acre. This was an expert
ment in forestry which has amply justi-
fled itself. and shows how shrewd,
far-sighted man may, even without tech
nical advice, secure good returns from
his woodland without impairing its pro-
ductive value and while putting himself
in position to profit by the steady rise
which is taking place in timber values.

Dairy Facts.

s44y 6S&VSSs
Indiana has little over 100 cream
cries.
Minnesota has little over 800 cream
cries.
The importation of Australasian but
ter into England doubled last year
over the former year.
Little profit should be expected from
cows kept in uncomfortable quarters
and fed on unbalanced rations.
The few cows on every farm are the
ones that produce tina vast amount of
butter and milk used by the American
people.
The average cow under the average
conditions is a money loser. She does
"a little better under the best of con-
ditions.
The amount of butter manufactured
in Minnesota last year increased about
5000, 900 pounds over the amount made
the preceding year.
The dairyman should be more exact
ing as to the quality Of the cows he
keeps. He is keeping too many scrubs
at the present time.
Pick out every calf that promises to
make q good dairy cow and raise her.
Such calves are worth more to the dairy
than they are for veal.

WHISKEY GANG
MUST LET UP
Judge StanfieId Gives Out A
Strict Warning.

For the past few days the whiskeJ
element has been very much In evi-
dence In Vinita; in fact it has been
so bad at times that 1t was not safe
for Elady to pass along the street
without being insulted by the curses
and vulgar talk eminating from the
esnouths of the booze gnzzlers; and, in
some instances, from men who are
ordinarily considered gentlemen.
For this reason Judge Stanfield has
been making dilligent search to find
the guilty parties who have been
dealing out this devils fire. and
with the assistance Of Marshals Britt
and Burns succeeded in seizing a
goodly quantity OF the stuff Sunday
morning and rounding up few of
the parties who we're there with the
goods.
The Judge has given out warning
to all parties that the whiskey busi-
ness must come to an end In Vinita,
and that any attempt on the part Of
anyone to use whiskey for electioneer-
ing purposes on or before electiona dy,
will be prosecuted, no matter who
they are.
1t is useless to comment on this
warning. Coming from Judge Stan
field, the lawbreakers know what it
means. and they know that he will do
just what he says. 1t is right that |
it should be done and every law
abiding citizen should give their as
sistance TO see that this accursed stuff |
is kept out of the town and that our
street are not filed with staggering
drunkards and that the good name Of
the town is no longer disgraced by
the bootlegger and thug element.
