Number Of Cotton Mills in
North Carolina Stopped by
BuZZard.

Yorkville special in Wednes-
days News and Courier: He
was just an ordinary, every day
turkey-buzzard, and although it
cost him his lie he stopped num-
erous North Carolina cotton
mills and other manufacturing
plants for an hour or two last
Friday and caused the Southern
Power Company considerable
trouble and expense; but there is
no reason 20 conclude that his
action was due to malice or ma.
llclous mischief 1t was either
late Thursday afternoon or early
Friday morning that he was
sailing along in the neighbor,
hood of Nanrie's mountain, about
midway between the power COM
pany's main distributing station
on the Catawba river and the
town of Glover, when he aspied
one of the metal towers of the
power line and concluded to tarrv
for awhile and alighted on it..
Shortly afterwards he spread his
wings until each came in contact
with the two main power lin. S
on that tower, short circuit was
formed; but he knew it not as
$4,000 volts had passed through
his body and burned it 10 a crisp
and at the same instant burned
the wires in two, allowing Mr..
Buzzard to drop to the ground
and causing cotton mills at Gas
tonia, Dallas, Lincolnton, Mai
den, Cherryville and other points
In North Carolina to stop short.
They remained idle for possibly
two hours and at the end OF that
time the power was transferred
TO duplicate lines, carried by the
same towers and the mills re-
snmed operation. The dsmaged
line was out of commission for
about twelve hours owing to the
difficulty the linemen experienced
IN locating the trouble.

Sheep In the Middle West.

The poorest class of sheep ON the
market today is the i'll cared for lot
raised in the agricultural states. These
breeders, as a rule, use good rams, but
they fall far short of giving the flock
proper attention. The whole bunch is
put on pasture in the spring and al
lowed to remain there until winter
while with few hours work a patch
Of rape could have been planted or the
fence repaired so they could have had
a change of pasture. Sheep need a lit
tie attention, the same as any other
stock or business. When they are well
cared for they cap the climax for prof
its.
Farmers of the middle west should
breed more registered sheep of the
mutton breeds. The rangemen come
east for their rams, and we should be
producing fifty head where one is
raised now.-H. A. Chandler in Breed
er's Gazette, Chicago.

APPLE WITH SAN JOSE SCALE.

the trees are In foliage. 1t is dis
tinctly winter spray and should be
used even in winter only upon decidu-
Gus trees
The San Jose scale is very largely re-
crusade against the old neglected, moss
covered orchards. Every one is prun-
ing and spraying. Why? To destroy
the San Jose scale. Yet find that
very small percentage of our farmers
know what this dreaded thing is which
they are so earnestly endeavoring to
destroy If any other spray than the
lime, sulphur and salt were being
used, reaction against all spraying
would certainly follow the poor results
of so much misdirected energy. BY
using the lime, sulphur and salt spray
beneficial results are almost certain to
follow, whether the scale be present or
not. Nevertheless every one who grows
trees or shrubs should learn to know
this destructive little pest and be pre-
pared to combat 1t. since 1t may at any
time appear upon the ornamentals OF
the city lot as well as the trees of the
old home orchard.
If badly infested, the fruit, particu-
Iarly pears and apples. become much
pitted distorted in shape, cracked and
unmarketable. It should be noted.
however, that reddish discolorations
upon yellow fruits are not always caus-
ed by San Jose scale. Upon yellow
apples and particularly upon peaches
very similar spots are produced by
attacks of certain minute fungi; hence
such spots should not in themselves
be taken as proof of infestation by the
scale. This can be determined def
nately only by careful examination
and the actual detection of the scale.
The presence of such blotches may
well arouse suspicion of the presence
of San Jose scale and should challenge
careful examination alike by grow
ers, buyers and inspectors; SO also
should the presence of dead and shriv-
eled leaves upon the trees In midwin-
ter invite examination. for. although
their presence Is not proof of the pres
ence of the scale, 1t is evidence that
the vitality of the tree has been seri-
ously impaired by some cause, and In
regions where San Jose scale is preva-
lent that cause in a vast majority of
instances is the scale.

GRANGE AND THE PRESS.
An Ohio Idea That Might Well Be
Adopted In Other States.
Especial Correspondence

Especial Correspondence
About two months ago the publishers
of the Graphic-News of Kenton, o., de-
cided that the grange organizations of
the county ought to be represented. and
well represented, in the local newspa-
per. Suiting the action to the idea, the
publishers set apart two pages to be
used each week by the grange organiza-
ton in telling of the dofngs of the farm
ers in the promotion of knowledge and
culture and, if they chose, in preaching
the principles of the grange. The pub
fishers suggested that each subordinate
grange in the county should appoint
grange correspondent to represent his
respective organization In the double
page grange department. The Pomona
grange of the county and the fourteen
subordinate oranges accepted the prop
osition. The result has been that the
double page in the Graphic News has
been bulged every week with timely
and exceptionally well prepared grange
news. Each subordinate grange has
It's regular column or two, and each
takes pride in being well represented
every week. To heighten the interest
of the grangers in this work the pub
fishers offer three handsome prizes to
the three oranges that should during a
period of eight weeks provide the most,
best and newsiest matter for the
grange department The liveliest in
terest was shown In the contest The
result is that the grange. heretofore sell
dom thought of and little known in the
county, has received so great an adj
vertisement that it has grown and is
now one of the most powerful. If not
the most powerful organization in the
county.
An enthusiastic grange spirit has
been developed. and the people Of the
city of Kenton have taken greater
interest in the affairs of the farm. All
of this tended to prepare for most
hospitable reception there for the Ohio
state grange, which met at Kenton
during the second week in December.
Now the proprietors of the papers
have proposed to the grangers that
lney ieaVe the Prov TOT uay ana take
possession of the editorial rooms Of
the paper for one issue to give the
public an idea as to s'how the farmer
would edit a whole newspaper The
Pomona grange of the county accepted
this proposition, elected a corps of
farmer reporters and farmer editor
in chief and announced its readiness to
take charge of the sanctum sanctorum
for one edition. OHIOAN.

AS far as we know, this COW has
made clean sweep of all records from
the one day to the year.
Whenever COW makes such phe-

ately presents itself, Were her female
ancestors capable cows2
Take Johanna Rue H., the dam of
her sire, and we find her very capa-
bic COW, with yearly record of 1920
pounds of milk, containing 662 pounds
of fat. She has a deep body, showing
strong and well developed digestive
tract; well developed udder, high arch
ing flank and the rise In the pelvic
arch.
The dam of her dam, Colantha, was
an imported cow and splendid dairy
type.
The dam Of Colantha Tvs johann
ma, Colantha ~, is another remarka-
bic COW and with yearly record as a
four-year-old of 1851 pounds of milk,
containing SIT pounds of fat. She has
the deep body and high arching flank
but not as pronounced as Johanna Rue

These cows do not represent the at
tenuated dairy form, but carry a little
more flesh than the extreme dairy
type. They are classed by the Hol-
stein people as of the milk and beef
form" This term is bit misleading,
as it does not mean that they perform
two functions, but rather they carry
a little more flesh than the extreme
dairy type Hoard's Dairyman.

There is great need of breed of
sheep suitable to the range conditions
of the west, the requirements being for
sheep that will yield profitable clip

and stand focking in large numbers,

1t is believed possible to combine these
characteristics in one breed, and with
this idea in mind an experiment was
begun in the fall of 1906 in co-opera-
ton with the Wyoming experiment sta
ton. Eighty-nine ewes and four rams
have been purchased for foundation

WINTER SPRAYING.
II Not Only Destroys San Jose Scale,
but Many Other Pests.

but Many Other Pests.
BY A. B. CORDLEY, Oregon experiment
station
One application of lime, sulphur and
salt each winter will do more for the
neglected orchard than can be done in
any other way by the same expendi-
ture of cash and energy. 1t not only
destroys San Jose scale, but it also de-
stroys the branch form of woolly aphis,
the eggs of the green aphis, the pear
leaf blister mite, the alternating
larvae Of the prune twig miner, prob
ably the alternating larvae of the bud
moth, together with most other insects
which may chance to be wintering
upon the trees. 1t is also a good fun
gicide. If applied in early winter. it is
nearly or quite equal to bordeaux for
the second application for apple tree
anthracnose. Applied to peach trees
just before the buds open in spring it
is preventive of peach leaf curl, and
applied to apple trees under similar
conditions it is a satisfactory substi-
tute for the application of bordeaux,
which is usually recommended for that
time.
With all its good qualities, however,
the lime, sulphur and salt spray is not
cure all. 1t does not, so far as
known, reduce the number of worrny
apples in an orchard, nor can it be

it should be well constructed in order
