Snow For Poultry.

The possibility of lessening the labor
Of caring for poultry by supplying
snow instead of water has been stud
led at the Connecticut Storrs expert
ment station by G. X. Graham. When
pullets and hens were fed wheat screen
ings and beef scrap from hoppers in
colony houses on low ground frozen
during most Of the experimental period
and covered with snow during part Of
the time the old hens did not furnish
as many eggs or appear to be in as
good condition as the younger birds.
The old hens were apparently affect
ed by the snow, the egg production be-
ing smaller on the days when snow
was on the ground and also consider
ably less when the ground was frozen
that is, on the cold days when water
was not accessible. These conditions
do not seem to have affected the young
er birds, and they show an increase i'll
eggs Immediately after each snow
storm, gradually dropping back as the
snow disappears.
In the case of other lots kept under
much the same conditions in houses on
higher and drier ground the cold
weather did not affect the egg produc-
ton materially, "but there was no
ticeable increase in the amount OF
grain eaten during the cold weeks
when comparison is made with the
very mild ones. This, however, may
have been caused by the birds fOrag-
ing more during the milder periods.
These birds did not appear to mind
the cold, and there was not the slight
est sign Of frosted combs among them,
nor were there any colds"

The AlbemarIe Pippin.

The apple which has made Virginia
famous at home and abroad is the Vel
low Newtown, otherwise known as the
Albemarle Pippin.
Whether pomologists accept the name
Albemarle Pippin or persist in calling
this apple the Yellow Newtown makes
little difference, for it will always be
known by Virginians and in the trade
by the name of Albemafle Pippin. The
high state of perfection attained by
this apple fully merits this distinction
and the almost fabulous prices often
received for it. 1t is not usual for our
growers to sell their fruit for $40 per
barrel, and sometimes it brings as
much as $12, SIS and even $50 per
barrel, about two to three times as
much as the average red apple.-Pro7
fessor J. S. Phillips.

WOUND WATCH WRONG WAY.
The Story of Left-Hended Woman
and Her Timepiece.

Women don't deserve to own
Watches" recently remarked a jewel
er "They don't know how to take
care of them. A woman bought a
watch from my firm recently and l
gave her strict instructions to wind
it every "a hours and always at the
same hour as nearly as possible. Two
days later she came back with it and
said it had stopped. Well, found it
had run down. / told her, but she
insisted she had wound it. Two OF
three days later she came back with
the same complaint, and again tried
to impress her with the necessity fol
winding it. Again she insisted she
had done so and went away miffed
The third time she came l asked he1
to show me how she had wound it
Then l made peculiar discovery. The
woman was left-handed, and in at
tempting to wind the watch she had
been winding it the wrong way. I've
had peculiar experiences with Gus
toners, but that beats ALL"

cURL LEAE.
Spraying For Control of This Disease
of the Peach.

Spraying For Control of This Disease
of the Peach.
A very important complication must
be considered in spraying for blight
control This is the occurrence of an
other peach disease, the curl leaf. The
effects of this trouble are too well
known in California to need descrip-
ton The control of the disease is
very successfully accomplished by
spraying in February or March, just
before the buds unfold. but time
which is too late for blight prevention.
Treatments Given.
In the experience of 1905 the one fall
spraying controlled both diseases-a
most satisfactory condition. In the
spring of 1907, however, a very viru-
lent attack of curl leaf occurred, es-
pecially in the lower Sacramento val
ley, while the blight fungus proved
somewhat less active than in the pre-
ViouS season.
The result of this attack is plainly
shown by the results of Spraying-viZ,
that the November or December appli-
cation did not entirely hold the curl
leaf in check, although as successful
as before with the blight. Conse-
quently some orchards sprayed prop
erly and successfully for blight were
badly injured by curl leaf, while 9th
ers sprayed later were protected from
curl leaf.
All that had been expected of the
blight treatment held good when it's
effects were differentiated from those
of the other disease, but the necessity
of two sprayings rather than one for
the positive control of both diseases
has become evident.
Prune if possible before spraying,
but do not delay the work on account
of pruning.
1t is recommended by the California
experiment station to spray again for
the prevention of curl leaf about Feb.
10, or just before the buds open, with
bordeaux, 100000, or lime, salt and
sulphur.

POSTAL
CARD BARRED

The Spokane postoffice is send
ing Objectionable picture postal
cards to the dead letter Office by
the hundreds. The last consign-
ment contained 400 of these cards
that either directly violate the laws
against sending vulgar or obscene
matter through the postoffice or
come so close to the danger line
by their suggestiveness that the
department feels justified in deny
ing transmission. At the dead let
ter Office they are burned.
1t is impossible to learn the adj
dresses of senders usually, other
wise prosecution would follow. The
rule has been generally adopted by
the department and thousands OF
the pictures go from the postoffices
to the furnace in the dead letter Of

has become as much of rage in
this country, apparently, as in Eu'
rope, where it originated.

MISERY'S CASH

CENTRALIA, Jan. 27-Amil Stef-
ner, who was found dead in his
house Sunday morning, appears to
have no relatives in this country to
claim his property. Steiner lived
as miser, though it appears from
papers found In the house that he
had considerable money and prop
erty. He was known to have sold
farm about two years ago for
$4,000, and another piece Of land
November for $500 He withdrew
his money from the bank during
the recent financial trouble but no
trace can be found of it. 1t is
supposed he had it buried some
where, for when he had to pay a
bill lately he excused himself and
was gone some time, and some of
the money he handed to his credi-
tors was covered with soil.

The theory is now advanced that

are jubilant and money will pour

however, is east of Nome.
