spaAYlNe FOR APPLE scAs.
Prof. Emerson, Of Nebraska Experi-
ment Station, Tells of Work Done.

In some spraying tests against APP
pie scab, carried on on the Neprasha
experiment station. the varieties Oh ap'
pies used were Sweet June, Winesap'
Maiden Blush, Jonathan and hals
Genet. Bordeau was the solution
used.
The first two varieties named "e!e
young trees, five and eight years oiu
respectively. The other varieues
were old trees. The Maiden Blush
and Winesap were sprayed only once,
May 23, for the former and May -
for the latter, in both cases a1ter .he
blossoms had fallen, and in case OF the
Winesap. even after the caiyx iooes
had closed The Sweet June, iona.
than and Rails Genet were sprayed
at different times.
The prevalence of scab on the
sprayed and and unsprayed trees was
first determined approximately by
simply examining from 100 to 200
fruits per tree. Later. when the ap-
pies we're picked. all the fruits except
in case of Jonathan were examined
and the amount Of scab on dinerent
trees determined more accurately.
In the records of the tests given
two or three facts stand out with spe-
cial promInence: The unsprayed
fruit was very scabby. running from
about so per cent in case of Jonathan
to so per cent with Winesap. Inc
first spraying. April &c and 81, when
the leaf buds were Just opening, al
forded no protection to the fruit.
Trees sprayed late in April. and not
sprayed afterwards. had fully as
scabby fruit as unsprayed trees. The
third spraying. May 20 and ~. gave
very good results. Winesap tNes
sprayed only once late in May. showed
only about 10 per cent. of scabby fruit.
as against so per cent. for unspra. ed
trees, and Maiden Blush only four
per cent. of scab on sprayed. as
against IS per cent. on unsprayed
trees. The second spraying. May
and 9. while beneficial in practically
all cases. was not quite so effective In
controlling scab as the later spraying.
The best results followed two spray
ings, one early and one late in May.
This is well shown in case of Sweet
June, where an unsprayed tree had
rs per cent. of scab, one sprayed May
9, 40 per cent. one sprayed May 2s.
20 per cent, and another sprayed on
both May 9 and % only four per cent
Some of the apples. notably iona
than, were injured considerably by
the spraying of May 23. The fruit r;as
badly rusted on one side. In the worst
cases the injury took the form OF "ne-
sided development of the fruits
Whether the injury was due to an
overdose of the spray, to improperly
made bordeaux, to the green arsenoid
used with the bordeaux. or to the ex-
IRENE tenderness of the Jonathan
fruits, | am unable to say.

SAILORS POOR RIFLE SHOTS.
Little Opportunities Given for Small
Arm Practice.

That the men of the United States
navy have but little proficiency in
smallarm practice is unfortunately a
fact. The official records of navy
small-arm practice in no way ap-
proach the splendid records of heavy
gun practice. and 1t is plain that the
men have very little knowledge of the
use of the rifle. Lieut.. Harris Laning,
U. S. N. who SO ably captained the
navy rife team last season, in an Of
fetal report of the lack of instruction
in small-arm practice, says:
THE first thing that impressed it.
self on me was the fact that although
the navy has taken high stand in
great-gun practice, its smallarm prac-
tice is lamentably poor. 1t is not to
be expected, nor is 1t desirable to de-
velop smallarm practice to the extent
we do great-gun practice, but every
man in the fighting force should be
given enough training with the rifle
to make him at least effective with a
rifle in case Of an emergency That

that he consented to act the victim

For four months did Lonsdale go
through the shaving process. He once
believed that a shave once a day was
necessity, but under the ski1lful
manipulation of his wife he discov-
cred that he could get along on three
shaves a week.
Only once did Mrs. Lonsdale ask:
Does the razor hurt?" He did not

board ship are not so trained was ap-
parent in the men sent for trial for the
rifle team. Many did not know how
to set the sight either for elevation or
for wind. Some did not know how to
align the sights. and of the new men
scarcely any knew how to properly
clean a rifle.
"One man given an excellent rife
and having the sights correctly set
was able to hit the target but once in
ten shots at 200 yards. Another fired
for three days at 200 yards before he
made "a out of a possible so. And yet
these two men were sent from the U.
S. S. Pennsylvania to try for places
on the team, There were no other
cases as bad as these, but there were
other men sent out nearly as bad. Con-
siderable time at Guantanamo is de-
voted to baseball, boat races, etc. If
the opportunity were given for an
equal amount of team rifle shooting it
would rank with these as sport.
This was demonstrated at the Naval
academy this year, where the volun-
tary candidates for the rifle team out
numbered those for any other sport.

PLANT BUILDING.
Important Part Which Water Plays
in the Process.

A simple way to illustrate how
plant food goes into solution in water
is to drop a lump of sugar into a glass
OF water. The lump Immediately be-
gins to fall to pieces, and in time will
become dissolved and uniformly dis
tributed through the water. AS the
water of the soil comes in contact
with the surfaces of particles of soil
and fertilizing constituents, there is
breaking up of surface molecules,
which, as they become free, are float
ed of through the capillary water. In
this form the molecules of plant food
are transported through the soil. The
root hairs absorb this plant food and
thus a movement of the solution is
started toward the root. Not having
the power to choose their food. the
root hairs must absorb everything
which comes in this solution whether
1t is injurious or not. An illustration
of this is where gas hme has been
used to kill grass and weeds. and the
poisonous cyanide compounds being
absorbed by the roots Of a tree cause
its death.
The thousands of root hairs are
really little pumps sucking the water
out of the soil into the plant where
It performs its functions as 1t passes
to the leaves. In the leaves the ex-
cess is TRANSFERRED into the air. We see
that there are thousands. perhaps mil
lions of tiny streams of water enter
ing the tree through its leaves and
passing out through the leaves. A
few figures published by the Wiscon-
sin experiment station on some ex-
periments made with oats and corn
show what surprisingly large guam
tity of water is required for plant
growth. 1t was found that in raising
oats 522.4 tons OF water were re-
quired for every ton of dry matter.
For one ton of dry matter in flint corn
1888 tons of water were required, and
of dent corn 309.S tons of water.

The diseases OF the rich are still
another disturbing factor in this pal

a number of distressing physical Ills
in this category. The nervous and
mental strain of handling great for

strongest organization. 1t was Jay
Gould who remarked. during the ex-
element of a great financial panic,
that a man controlling a fortune OF
$50 .000.000 had no time either to eat

A VERY RARE CASE.
Where an Investor Got the Best Of

We were talking about copper
stocks and the money that had been

little book and turned and said:
