snraxlnn 70 Thin Erult.


Trees sprayed at the time they are
in bloom viii not set as much fruit as
those sprayed either before or after
blooming. The pollen that is struck
with any sprays of common strength
is doomed practically. 1t may put out
a feeble effort toward termination.
When trees are sprayed in blossom
Of course the pollen in good many
flowers escape, for the reason that all
flowers do not open at the same time
and many viii not have opened sufl-
ciently to receive the spray. 1t has
been suggested that this is a good
way to thin the fruit on trees. The
suggestion has been entertained by
scientists, and il it is ever put into
practice it may result in the finding
cf an easy method of thinning. AT
the present time thinning is not gen
orally practiced on account of the i'm.
mense amount Of work required and
because at the end Of the season the
added value of the apples is almost
offset by the cost of thinning. Men
dislike to do work that gives them no
gain. In the case Of peaches, thin
ming pays even when men have to be
employed to do the thinning. There
is one advantage in attempting to thin
by means Of killing the pollen in some
of the blossoms, and that is the ir-
regularity with which the fruit would
set. Hand work does the business in
the most approved fashion leaving
rne fruit at regular intervals. No ex-
periments that we know of have at
tempted to prove the value Of spray
as thinner Of fruit.

Ventilation in the COW stable is a
necessity II the health of the animals

among the generality of COW owners
as to the scientific principles Of ven
tilation. The subject is worthy of
study, especially by the men that are
to construct stables. The men that
have stables should investigate with
the object of putting in perfect sys-

crash in the struggle for the mastery
Of the ball.
The suggestions made by Walter
Camp. the nestor of American football,
are likely to receive the attention that
they should have received years ago
when presented. He aims to remove
the danger OF the mass plays by the
adoption of a rule that ten yards must
be gained in three downs. At present
the rule is FIVE, and it is noticed that
when the opposing lines are nearly
equal that the ball is punted on the
third down rather than to allow the
opposing team to get possession be-
cause the required yardage had not
been gained. With ten yards to gain
the play would still be more open and
from the spectators point of view more
spectacular
A running open game would call for
players Of a different type. Beef and
Drawn would in a measure have to give
way to type more allied to the ath
lete that excells in the lacrosse. Gen.
eral activity would be the feature in
such an open game. Accuracy In
catching the ball and returning it by
means of punt. or by passing 1t in a
running game to a team mate who
would pass it on or punt 1t would be
the test Of a successful player on the
varsity teams. and such a game could
be made replete with brilliant plays
without the attending danger that now
threatens to bar the sport because Of
it's brutality.

MAKE IT TEN YARDS AND THREE
DOWNS.

The football season has ended and
the death list for the year has reached
such total that there IN almost a
national uprising against the brutality
OF the game al played at present.
President Roosevelt has headed a
movement that will no doubt lead to a
great modification of the rules calling
for radical change in the game. II
these are not made 1t Is evident from
the action already taken by some of the
leading colleges Of the country that
football will be barred from the college
games.
1t Is not likely that football will lose
Its place as a national sport. 1t is a
game too dear to the American heart
for that. But the time has come when
there must be radical change in the
rules. This change will come in an at
tempt to break up the mass PLAYS
which. more than anything else are
responsible for the accidents and rough
play that now prevails. In the scrim-
images resulting from the mass PLAYS
