Cost of Spraying.

In a paper read before the Colorado
State Horticultural society by w. S.
Haswell he gave the cost and results
of spraying in 1906. When 1-2 to 2-3
of the petals had fallen and bees had
stopped working he made his first
spraying, using double, course Yer
morel nozzle, turned SO as to force the
spray into the calyx. He drenched
every tree thoroughly, intending to
cover every blossom and every leaf.
The second spraying was applied 10
days later using finer nozzle. Thirty
days later the third spraying was COM
menced, using a fine nozzle, with care
to cover each apple with fine mist.
He considers the first spraying the
most important. If the first brood of
codling moth is mostly poisoned but
few should appear in August. He
used 400 pounds of arsenate of lead, at
a cost for material Of $53, on 100
trees; 9S percent of his apples were
free from worms.

Proportion of the Sexes.

The United States Animal Indus
try Bureau people have been collect
ing information regarding the rela-
tive proportions OF the two sexes OF
pigs at birth. Reports were received
from 50 breeders located in rs states.
Eight breeds were represented: Berk-
shire, Chester White, Duroc Jersey,
Hampshire, Large Yorkshire, Ohio
Improved Chester, Poland China, and
Tamworth. The number of sows
whose litters were reported was 1477.
The number of boar pigs was $3.50;
sows, 6625; total 1925. The average
per SOW was: Bears, 4.51! sows, 4.4S;
total, 500: In 49 cases second litters
during the year were reported for the
same sows wsich somewhat raises
the average per sow. The sexes may
be regarded as equal in number at
birth. The proportion was 1905 boars
to 1000 sows.

Protection Against Borers.

1t is admitted that the only treat
ment for apple and peach borers con-
sists of some protective measure. The
adult female insect must be kept away
from the trunk of the trees at or near
the grou.,d. Scores Of remedies have
been suggested; many are injurious,
useless, unsightly or expensive. The
apple specialist suggests a preventive
that has the merit of cheapness both
in cost of material and application. 1t
is worthy of trial: Mix cement with
milk and apply with stiff brush. Mix
only small quantity at time, as 1t
may set Apply in a somewhat thin
condition and make a second applica-
tion." Remove the earth from around
the trunk few inches below the sur
face and apply the mixture, say six
inches below the surface and a foot
above. Of course any borers in the
trunk should be first dug out or punch
ed with wire before the mixture is ap-
plied.-Country Gentleman.

Grading Up Fowls.

The grading up of our common
stock of fowls is matter that should
receive more consideration than 1t
usually gets. Even in instances where
attempts have been made to accomplish
this object failure has often resulted
by reason of wrong ideas entertained
by the breeder. If your are to grade
up your flock you must use pure bred
males of one breed only. Little or
no progress can be made by using
pure bred males of more than one
breed in the same flock. Mixing OF
breeds means rapid degeneration. A
scrub is a typical mixed bred animal
whether it be bird or beast. Grade
up your flock If you will, but choose
the breed you prefer, and use males OF
that breed only.-Farmers Home Jour-
nal.

Undrawn Cold Storage Poultry.

The department of Agriculture at
Washington, d. c., has noted the re-
suits of a Chicago cold storage inves-
tigation on the effects of storing un-
drawn chickens.
Bacteria normally inha5iting the
intestinal tract" 1t is stated, ARE not
destroyed by cold storage, neither are
the eggs of the blowfy. These bac-
terra and maggots develop during the
rise of temperature that takes place
after removal from cold storage be-
fore they are killed by heat. The
bacteria pass through the walls of the
intestines into the peritoneal cavity
and liver, while the poisons formed
by the bacteria are yet more penetra-
ting and pass deeper into the muscles
These products Of bacteria, called pto-
maines, are poisonous. They are not
destroyed by heat. In large amounts
this ptomaine poison results in death.
For 1t there is no known antidote."

Subdue the Brush.

We have got to subdue the brush
or the brushes and trees will subdue
us.
They march on us so still and silent
ly that we hardly notice them at all
until they get such a hold that 1t is
next to impossible to get rid of them.
Many farmers in moving their
fields leave few brushes under the
walls and fences, as they do not want
to get them mixed in the hay, and so
they leave few more every year, and
we often see large smooth meadows
with rim of brush rod wide clear
around the field.
/ have always found the best way to
get rid of the brush and weeds was to
cut them every year when we NOW

the wall, and when dry burn them up
clean, and in doing this you are not
only getting rid of the brush, but
lots of woodchucks and rabbits, and 1t

that we feel more than paid for all
our trouble.-J. A. Saunders in the

FlRE-kILlED TIMBER.
Value Of Wood That Has Been
Through Flames.


The traveller who has wondered
why some use is not made of the
timber that has been fire-killed all
over the country will be interested to
learn that the United States Forest
Service at the University of Washing
ton, Seattle, has discovered a means
of utilizing this timber, which in the
past mas largely gone to waste.
in testing fire-f1killed timber-that
is, timber which had its bark de-
stroyed by fire not severe enough to
entirely consume the tree, and which
left 1t standing-it was found to be
thoroughly sound, and to all intents
and purposes, thoroughly seasoned
lumber. If such lumber is cut within
the first year after 1t is injured it can
be used for any purpose for which the
original wood is satisfactory, but II
allowed to stand the timber checked
so badly that it cannot be worked up
to advantage.

legations undertaken that good rail.

that in some instances was killed so

The Lincoln Centennial.

The centennial of the birth OF
Abraham Lincoln is less than year
and a half away. The date is Feb
ruary IL, 1909. The Grand Army of
the Republic, at it's recent national
encampment, recognized the approach
of this interesting anniversary by the
appointment of a committee to pre-
pare plans for a suitable celebration.
With the work If that committee all
Americans must be in sympathy The
men who fought while Lincoln was in
the White House has given the cue
for an action that might well be
countrywide. Kentucky, where the
great commoner was born, and 1lli-
nois, from which State he was chosen
to the Presidency, should perhaps
take the lead, but there is no reason
why any State or city or community,
North, South, East or West, should
not promptly fall into line. The an
niversary celebration in the true Lin
coin spirit, might be the occasion of

Consolation.

Flowing In a Ships Hold.

A common, everyday farm plow was
used in unloading the cargo of the
Ammon at San Francisco. The entire
hold was filled with 1900 tons of nitre,
which had frozen into one solid mass
and very hard. Explosives could not
be used, and picks and shovels were
too slow. AS a joke bystander sug-
gested they better use a plow.
The captain, however, decided to try
the plan, and bought a good-sized
plow, and by means of block and
tackle and steam winch pulled it
back and forth the length of the hold.
The plow loosened the nitre as fast
as big gang could shovel 1t into the
steel buckets. This is probably the
only instance on record where a ships
cargo was discharged in this way

EASY FOOD
Ready For Instant Use Without Cook-
ing.

Almost everyone likes a cereal food
of some kind at breakfast and supper,
but the ordinary way of cooking
cereals results in a pasty mass that is
hard to digest, and If not properly
digested, the raw mass goes down
into the intestinal tract where gas is
generated and trouble follows.
Everyone knows that good food
properly digested keeps the body
well, while poor food, or even food of
good quality that is poorly prepared
and not dlgested, is sure to bring on
some kind of disease.
The easiest food to digest in this
line is Grape-Nuts, made from wheat
and barley, and cooked thoroughly at
the factory, some IL to 16 hours be-
ing consumed in the different pro-
cesses Of preparation. The food,
therefore, is ready for instant SER
vice and the starch has been changed
to form of Sugar, so that It is pre-
digested and ready for almost imme-
diate absorption.
A Chicago young lady writes that
she suffered for years from indiges-
tion and dyspepsia from the use OF
food that was not suitable to her
powers OF digestion. She says:
Il began using Grape-Nuts, and l
confess to having had prejudice at
first, and was repeatedly urged before
] finally decided to try the food, but l
have not known what indigestion Is
since using 1t, and have never been
stronger or in better health. / have
