Crane Berry Worm,

During the last two or three years
the grape berry worm has been an I'M
usually serious pest in Ohio, says a
bulletin of that State, and along the
shore of Lake Erie has caused the loss
of about one-third of the grape crop
The eggs are minute translucent bodies
found Oh the skins of the grapes in
the summer. and the point of entrance
of the larvae into the grape is sur
rounded by a patch of REDEEMED skin
In order that the most effective rem
edies should be directed against the
first brood. operations should begin
during the fall, consisting of clean
cultivation. the destruction of all trash
about the vineyard, and thorough plow-
ing. The authors are somewhat in
doubt whether fall or spring blowing
is best, but it is found that as good re-
suits can be obtained by blowing as by
burning The most important measure
of all is believed to be spraying with
arsenate of lead or paris green. The
arsenate of lead should be used at the
rate of three pounds to fifty gallons
of Bordeaux mixture. 1t is recon-
mended that the first application be
made in early June, the second as soon
as the grapes are through blooming,
and the third early in July. The cost
of spraying an acre of grapes ranges
from 1915 to s..

Valuable Weeds.

1t is not q matter Of common knowl-
edge. says the Technical World Mag
azinc. that some of the weeds "infest-
ing" the land will produce the crude
drugs which to-day, in large part. are
obtained by importation from abroad
Alice Henkel, an assistant of the gov
ernment's plant industry bureau, says
that the roots. leaves and flowers of
several of the weed species regarded
as plaques in the United States are
gathered, prepared ana cured in Eu-
rope. and not only for useful commodi-
ties there, but supply to considera-
bic extent the demands of foreign
lands. There are weeds in this coun-
try against which determination laws
have been passed which hold in their
leaves. stems or roots medicinal prOp-
critics which have a value in the work
of preserving the health of the nation.

The Early Garden.

After all danger of frost is over,
which is usually about the time the
apple trees are in blossom, tomato
plants may be put out, as they are ten
der and will not endure the frost if
sooner tranSplanted. Peas for later
crop, Lima beans, string beans, squash,
eggplants and late cabbage, as we'll as
sweet corn and melons, may then be
planted. The garden crops that do not
need much room on which to grow may
be planted in rows Of sufficient dis
lance apart to permit of using a wheel
hoe or hand hoe (about IS inches), but
corn, tomatoes, elephants and Lima
beans require from one yard to four
feet between the rows. To have a
large garden on q farm is to extend
to permit of working with a horse hoe,
but the suburban garden work must be
done with hand hoe or a wheel hoe.
There is more pleasure in working a
garden than may be supposed, and it
will promote the health of any one
who engages in such occupation. AS
there are many details in gardening,
and several varieties of each of the diff
ferent vegetables, the beginner should
procure books on gardening. which can
be had of any scotsman, and also per-
nit the seedsmen to select for him the
varieties most suitable for his location,
as an inexperienced person can easily
make mistakes in his selections. The
seed catalogues describe methods of
planting, but some varieties of yegeta-
bles are better for stock feeding than
for the table. while some are early in
maturing and others are late.

Practical Corn Harvester.

This machine used at the L. S. Ag-
ricultural Experiment Stations consists
OF two driving wheels, between which
IS mounted the frame for the driving
mechanism and platform. 1t is drawn
by one horse, which walks between the
two rows that are cut at the same time.
H'he dividers pick up the lodged corn,
except such as lies in the row of corn
away from the machine, and guide it to
the cutting apparatus which consists OF
two stationary side blades above which
is a movable sickle, which cuts the
corn and deposits it horizontally on
platform which is elevated about six
inches from the cutting apparatus. On
the inner side is a guide chain, which
assists in directing the stalks Of corn
to the knife and the platform. The
rear part of the machine is provided
with small wheel, above which is a
fitting lever, by means Of which the di-
ViderS in front can be raised or low
cred to gather up the lodged corn until
it comes in contact with the endless
chain, which carries it backward until
ii is cut and deposited on the platform.
When there is enough to start a
shock the horse is stopped and the two
men who follow the machine gather the
around the shock pole and tie it. They
then start the horse again, and when
returning across the field the horse is

AN INCH OF NEWSPAPER.
Put Under the Heel of a Cadet it Altered
His Whole Future.

1t may be asked what man who from
his size belonged in 3 company at West
Point was doing in the eighth division
among the tall men of d company
writes Gen Morris Schaff in the Allan
tic.

and the various other companies had to
room in what was known as the angle
which threw me with John Asbury West
of Georgia of ID company.
West and myself became very close
friends, and that we might continue to
room together, just before the battalion
was formed i'll 1860 at the close of the
encampment for division into companies,
he suggested that l stuff some paper III
my shoes TO lift me up into the flank

Thereupon we inlaid good share of a
newspaper in each shoe, lowered my

heels, and to my hearts delight, the re-
suit was, in counting off the battalion, |

Horse Breeding in Wisconsin.


The present condition Of the horse
breeding industry in Wisconsin is dis
cussed in a bulletin by the station as
well as the effects and defects of the
Wisconsin stallion law. The State law
is quoted, with recommendations for
new legislation. A directory is includ-
ed of owners of licensed stations, and
list of American and foreign stud
books, as we'll as samples Of the score
cards used in the department Of horse
breeding at the Wisconsin College of
Agriculture.
The State breeding-stock law, in the
authors opinion, should be revised and
should demand, among other things, the
annual or biennial renewal of a license
fee, and the adoption of a list OF dis
eases to be considered hereditary,
tranSmissible, or communicable" and
which would subject a stallion to re-
lection as unsOund. Specific authority
should be given for the department Of
horse breeding to refuse license to stall
lions known to be unsound and to re-
woke licenses granted to stations since
found to be unsound. There should
also be authority to revoke the license
of scrub stations of unknown breed.
ing and to refuse licenses to such
horses III the future. The law should
provide for State veterinary inspectors
to inspect public-service stations and
require State veterinary inspection of
all stations already granted licenses on
the affidavit of the owner.

WHY TAN SHOES WEAR WELL.
Dressing Used for Them Does not Con
tain Acid-Blacking Does

1t seems pretty certain that for some
reason or other tan leather keeps softer
than black leather. One explanation of
this may be that i'll the greater number
of cases the blackening used for polish
ing black boots has strongly acid prop
critics. whereas the pastes used for pol
ishing brown boots are never acid and
consist of varnish made of oils and
wakes.
In many of the formulas given for
making backing very large proportion
of oil of vitrol, or strong sulphuric acid.
is directed to be used The chief ingre-
dents of boot backing, according to the
London Lancet, appear % be ivory black,
treacle and oil of yirtriol Sometimes hy-
drOclloric acid is used.
The object of the acid apparently is to
dissolve out the mineral matter Chiefly
phosphate of lime of the ivory black and
so to reduce it to very fine spOngy
state. The result is that the backing is
very acid, if not with sulphuric acid, Ger
tainly with phosphoric acid. AS a mat
ter of fact we have found sufficient free

examined to char paper when dried upon

Why Roumanian Jews Are Freckled.

that he Tor she) is usually fair. with red

over basin of soup IN which foated a
boiled cock One of the party expressed
the feelings of the rest by declaring that
they might as well ask him to believe
that the boiled cock could rise out of
the soup and fly. On the instant the
cock did SO, growing loudly and Tapping
its wings so as TO spatter the faces of
all present with soup. The Jews have
been freckled ever since.

The Origin of Forks.

The enormous rufus so much in favor
in later Tudor times are responsible
for the introduction Of forks in Eng
land The difficulty of reaching ones
mouth when so adorned must have i'm
pressed itself very forcbIy on every
one and so the invention of some
means of prolonging the reach became
an imperative necessity, and thus, as
demand usually creates supply, forks
came into existence.
