Weird Pipe Dream

Acting Commissioner John Me.
Cabe, in absence Of Commissioner
Slater, Of the pure food department
declared to day that the stories
generally circulating through the
Northwest derogatory to several
standard brands of smoking tobacco
were entirely without foundation,
in so far, at least as the commission
was concerned. The stories which,
under the circumstances, appear to
be llbelous, cite an imaginary anal.
aysis in which one well known
brand was found to have no tobac.
60 at all, the greater part being
common brown paper, and that an
equally popular brand was only 10
per cent tobacco.
1t would be interesting to know
where such report originated"
said Acting Commissioner McCabe,
as We certainly have made no
analysis of the kind. Whether
the big four brands in question are
made out Of tobacco or not, the
story of our having rendered such
a verdict is made out of whole cloth.
Ii, however, American manufact-
ures can successfully transmute
brown paper into tobacco, why

Apple Borers at Work Now

Notice TO those who have set out
fruit trees this spring and other
small trees, the apple tree bOrcr IS
now at work. We have seen them
getting in their work. The beetle
is dusky bug-like insect and may
be found on the south side OF the
apple tree about the time the sun
begins to warm the atmosphere
On approaching the tree care should
he taken to make the least noise as
the insect is always on the alert
and the least interruption causes 1t
TO drop to the ground and hide
away among the clods or trash
about the tree. Even heavy foot
steps about the tree will cause the
insect to drop to the ground and
hide away quickly. Its SHY habits
account for it scarcely ever being
seen. The eggs arc very small ana
when trees are puddled all egg will
never be seen. Writers OH the sub
iect say they are invisible. \
simple whitcwash OF lime is a good
remedy, applying from the ground
tip knec-high. 1t is we'll to scrapc
away the dirt from the trees with
YOUR foot in order to get the wash
low down. 1t may be applied with

from the tropics, are brilliantly colored

ever, live on animal food, some species
being herbivorous. One species Is

1t has been known for thousands Of
years. The Greeks and Romans re-
garded it for Il time as the first Of
fishes, and PlinY tells us how it was
introduced into the Italian sea in the
course of the reign of Claudus. 1t

clients, who told some wonderful sto
ries about its love. its wisdom and Its
rumination. Some having length Of

Housing Poultry.

The chief reason why we so
strongly and persistently advocate
keeping poultry, few hen i'll a
,house-say two or three dozen, is
because the splendid Success at
tanned is generally with the man
who has only a small flock. There
are several reasons why this plan
succeeds best. One is because the
small flock has better attention.
Take farmer, for instance, that
has a flock of two or three dozen
hens. He probably attends to
them we'll and it simply occurs to
US that a half dozen focks OH the
same farm with the same attention
would each be equally as profitable
as the one. Anyhow they would
each be as profitable in proportion
to the attention. Then in looking
over small flock from time to
time the drones are more easily de-
tected and weeded out. In a flock
Of a dozen or two hens, should dis
ease break out, only a few would
be exposed as compared to flock
Of several hundred. The only
thing urged against colonizing
fowls in the small houses is time
required in caring for them. 1t is
claimed that it is impossible to care
for five hundred hens in one house
as readily as it is to care for fifty.
This may or may not be true. We
do not pretend to say, but our
western readers are not so pressed
for time that they can not see after
a few colonies OF chickens. Any
how there is no work about the
farm that will pay better than see
ing after the fowls. And if better
results can be secured from the
plan Of small hocks, we say take
the time, Eggs are almost worth
their weight in gold. There is
nothing the farmer can engage in
that will bring better returns. -
