The Connecticut Agricultural col.
lege is preparing to hold it's sixth
summer session this year for teach
ers who wish to teach agriculture in
rural, and for parents, as we'll, who
wish to teach their children in coun-

which might we'll be followed by every

The Illinois experiment station has
successfully raised 4S calves by feed
ing each of them $50 pounds of whole
milk and 400 pounds of skimmilk. The
milk was fed at the rate of ten pounds
per day per calf for SO days, and then
lessened one pound day until no
more was fed. They were given no
substitute but simply the grains raised
on the farm together with good
grade of legume hay.
The North Dakota experiment sta
ton has put up small still for manu-
featuring alcohol. A stove or heater
is also in use. Experiments will be
made in manufacturing alcohol from
frosted wheat, screenings and other
cheap farm products. We shall know
in time what it costs to make the
alcohol and how it compares in fuel
power with wood and coal. This is a
great question for the great north
west. There is no available fuel.
Hard coal must be shipped from the
east and sold at high prices, while
there is an immense demand for gaso-
line for power engines. Here is a
great work for the western expert
ment stations.
Tent caterpillars are readily con.
trolled by arsenate of lead and no at.
tention need be paid to them if the
regular codling moth spraying sched-
ule is followed out. When this in.
scot is to be treated separately use
one and one-half pounds of arsenate
of lead to SO gallons and spray light
ly. Apricot, cherry and other trees
may be successfully treated for tent
caterpillars by the use of this spray.
The old-fashioned way was to burn
them out with a wad of paper on the
end of a pole but Missourian has
fallen upon the shotgun argument
much as our western cowboys used
to shoot up town. The process is
very simple. Just use the usual
amount of powder for an ordinary
charge but do not put anything Oh

Washington Gas continued to crumble
in price, selling down from 50 70 79. with
the closing bid at Is rs While the price
Of Gas is slowly sagging off, there con-
tinues the greatest interest in the stu
alton. It is explained by interested brok-
ers that the temporary lun in the ad-
vance Of prices is due TO a large block
of the stock which is on the board for
sale. and that depressing the price is a
temporary make-shift to get this stock
as low as possible. When that Is out Of

depended upon TO go higher; and, accord

men who have engineered the present
boom In Gas.

hearing in the case of the Georgetown
