Hard Pest to Fight.

The treatment for DOT maggots Is
very difficult, owing to their manner
Of working upon the plants. The
treatment which is recommended Is
not entirely satisfactory at times. The
method Of dealing with this pest,
which has seemed most satisfactory
up to the present time, has been TO
watch the different stages Of the in
sect and when the first maggots APP
pear to be WORKING in the plants it is
the practice TO open a furrow away
from the plants and sprinkle into This
furrcw "A quantity of tobacco dust,
afterwards recovering the furrow.
Another method is TO apply at his
time a carbolic acid emulsion mad in
the proportion of one pint crude car
bOlic acid. one pound soap and one
gallon water. This should be diluted
i'm 80 parts water and applied near
the plants along the row. Either OF
these treatments will in general be
somewhat satisfactory. We are at
present planning to take up the onion
maggot problem during the coming
season and hope we may be able to
get more conclusive results.-H. +.

KILLS TWO GIRLS
At THEIR REQUEST
REMARKABLE TRAGEDY RE-
PORTED FROM GERMANY.
TRIPLE CRIME WAS PLANNED
Music Teacher Tells How He and His
Pupils, Melancholy Over Study
of Wagner, Had Agreed
to Die.

Berlin.-Carl Brunke, a young bank
clerk, has just been sentenced to eight
years penal servitude here for one of
the most extraordinary deeds in the
annals of crime. Without hesitation he
confessed to the police that he had
murdered at their own request two sis
ters, Martha and Alma HAIRS, % and
Il years old respectively.
The self-contessed slayer had for
some time been acting III the capacity
OF teacher of music to the young
women, and expert alienists say that
all three had been reduced to Il state
Of extreme melancholy from excessive
study of Wagner.
There is no doubt hat the two girls
did ask Brunke to kill them. Indeed,
Martha, the elder one, gave him the
money with which to buy the revolver
with which the double murder was
done.
When Brunke was arrested he said
he was ready to confess and with the
utmost calmness said:
when / came back the two girls
were awaiting me in my room, but our
courage then began to fail us. Martha
gave me SIS to buy three hotties OF
champagne, and after bracing up our
courage with the wine we discussed all
the details OF our approaching deaths.

their own request that he slew them.
The a~lienists who examined the pris-
oner decided that although he was suf-
iering from a form OF insanity, 1t was
not sufficiently marked to render him
immune to punishment. The eight
year sentence was imposed under a
section of the criminal code which
provides a minimum of three years
penal servitude from crimes Of such
nature. The courts cannot recall n
case of this kind.

WATERING TREES.
Why the Practice Proves of Value at
Planting-Necessity of Close
Packing of Soil.

An eternal question exists as to
whether water should be used in set.
ting Il a dormant tree. Some men
use water and some men do not.
When the scientific tree planter uses
water he does so merely 20 pack the
dirt tight about the roots of the new
ly set tree. The u~nscientific man that
uses water does so because he
imagines that the roots need moisture
so that they can take in plant food.
This Is Il mistake, as the roots do
not begin to take in food until the
leaves Of the tree develop. The en-
tire motion of sap in u tree comes
from evaporation of moisture from
the leaves. This acts as the great
engine to propel the machinery Of the
tree, if the operation may be so
named. 1t is many weeks from the
time Of planting till the time when
the tree begins to use water. 1t Is
thus easy, says the Farmers Review.
to understand that water Is not of
help to the tree except so far as ii
brings the roots in closed contact with
the earth. This latter Is very impor-
tant. One of The great causes of
failure with trees is the fact that the
dirt II not packed in tightly about
the rC,.s and cavities exist under the
tree.
