ter of fact, little root pruning by
plowing stimulates root growth and
keeps the roots down where they be-
long Some of our heavy soils really
must be plowed and the fall of the
year is an excellent season in which to
do the work. The plow should run
deep enough to break up the hard under

tivation during the growing season.
GA light float or harrow should fol
low the plow to put the surface in good

tendency to dry out. A good smooth

the moisture. 1t is not an uncommon
practice to give one surface cultivation

SCARLET fever
CASES IN ASPEN

Aspen, Colo, Nov. 13.-Two weeks
ago there were only two cases of scar
let fever in this city. Today there are
l6, and 10 houses are under quaran-
tine. This condition of affairs has been
the cause of much alarm, and parents
are being called upon to cooperate with
the health department to stamp out the
disease.
Acting Mayor j. b. Sitter has caused
to be published the laws of the state
regarding scarlet fever houses. The
instructions are of value to any com
munity where scarlet fever is preva-
lent. They follow:
Ono one shall go in or out of the
house after quarantine is established.
Goats, dogs and domestic animals
must be kept out and away from the
house a reasonable distance, as in barn
or shed some distance from the house.
can clothing that is put on the line
to dry must first be washed in an anti
septic solution, which can be obtained
by asking you attending physician.
"Nurses attending scarlet fever pa
tients must not leave the house till they
they are discharged from the ease and
then, before leaving, shall be fumi-
gated according to the rules of the
board of health, which can be obtained
from the city physician or the attend
ing physician. and must have said ply
sician' s permit before leaving.
"It will be the duty of the quaran-
tine marshal to arrest anyone who vi
olates these laws so that they may be
dealt with according to the law, fined
or imprisoned, or both, as the ease may
warrant.

PREPARING ORCHARDS
FOR THE WINTER

The following interesting article up
on the subject of preparing the orch
ard for the winter is from the pen of
o. B. Whipple, field horticulturist of
the Colorado Agricultural college:
''The general practice of discontin-
uing the watering of the orchard in
midsummer for the purpose of allowing
the trees to mature wood growth and
color the fruit, generally calls for
late irrigation. This may be applied
any time after the middle of October,
if the trees have ripened the young
wood growth; otherwise the watering
had best be delayed until the first of
November. In the bearing orchard,
this water is applied after the last
fruit is picked. In our dry climate
care must be exercised to see that the
orchard goes into winter with plenty
of moisture in the soil. Evaporating
through the twigs continues even
through the dormant period, and unless
tiiS ioolo hiNt hSScSo W hioiS
ure the tops of the trees may freeze
dry during severe winters.
"The amount of water to be used for
this irrigation depends much upon the
character of the soil. No doubt many
orchards on heavy soils will not re
quire the fall watering. Still, some of
the heavy soils are deceiving and an
examination will show very dry sub
soil. good fall watering is one of
the most satisfactory means of wet
ting up such soil. Evaporation from
the surface is slow, and during the
winter the water slowly sinks to the
dry subsoil. The soil should be ex-
amined and supplied with enough mois-
ture to make it cling together when
pressed in the hand and still crumble
when broken up.
GAS soon as most of the leaves have
or cultivated TO catch these leaves. The
leaves will help to improve the soil, if
plowed under before the late winds
sweep them into the fence corners.
Some growers still question the wisdom
of blowing the orchard, but many grow
ers who have tried it pronounce it not
only success, but n necessary step
in the cultivation of the orchard. While
many growers fear that the destruction
Of roots in plowing will injure the tree,
this is not necessarily true. As mat

Election Figures Compiled In

BARS ARE ABOLISHED

Washington, Nov. l3.-Actual statis-
tics show that 33,6O0,OoO of the eighty.
odd million inhabitants of the United
Statse now live in communities in
which the law does not permit the sale
of alcoholic beverages. In other words,
considerably more than one third of all
the inhabitants of the country cannot
buy liquor in their neighborhoods at
licensed bars, and in the great major
ity of these dry communities, should
any of the inhabitants defy the law
and spend their money to quench their
thirst they would run the imminent
risk of penalties, and subject to con-
dign punishment the person from whom
they bought the liquor.
The liquor question cut figure in
nearly every state campaign Of last
Tuesday. Prohibitionists are now pre-
pairing to force upon both parties in
next years campaign recognition of a
growing popular sentiment in their
platforms. For this purpose the exec

The publishers of the Youth 8 Com
panion will, as always at this season,
present to every subscriber whose sub
scription ($l.75) is paid for 1908,
beautiful calendar for the new year.
Four paintings by artists of distinc'

of the calendar by a process of color
printing which has been recently
brought to remarkable excellence. The
first of the panels is an inspiring sea
scene, full of the beauty of the wide
ocean and sky, and the joyous rush of
the homeward- bound ship. The second
is fine cattle piece. The third pic
lures an old mill at tZaandam-typically

depicts "Girl with Roses > charm.

This Tremendous Sum Will Be
Turned Out at the Mint
in Philadelphia
IN next Three MONTHS

Philadelphia, Nov. 13.-The United
States mint yesterday delivered ST.
OOO,O 900 in gold double eagles to the
subtreasury in this city. 1t is stated
that within the next three months the
mint here will coin 1928 100000 in dou
BILE eagles.
This enormous amount of gold will
be distributed among the subtreasuries
in various parts of the country, and
will be employed to relieve the money
stringency. The local mint is well
equipped to contribute its share of the
shower of gold that has begun to fall
upon every part of the United States.
Many of its employees are working over
time, however, it being a nightly occur
renee for coin counters, weighers, ad-
justers and others to work as late as
work being four o clock.
New machinery has recently been in.
stalled in the mint and its efficiency
was demonstrated in the operation of
the "split collar device for putting
stars on the edge of the newly designed
eagles. There are fortysix stars on
tile edge of each piece because of the
approaching advent of the new state
of Oklahoma to the union.
The machinerl at the mint is capable
of grinding out 1000 of these pieces
in an hour. There is now at the mint
enough bullion for the manufacture of
$2OO00,0O0 in double eagles, but more
bullion from various sources is being di-
verted to the big institution.
AS soon as $l50,000 in half dollar
pieces and Il similar amount in dollars
are sent out from the mint within a
day or two, the attention of the work
ing force there will be devoted to the
requirements for gold.
