SIXTY YEARS

Vienna. Lee. 2.-Sixty years an
emperor. Such ID the extremely un-
common record achieved by Emper-
or Francis Joseph, who was called
to the throne Of the dual monarchy
just 50 years ago today. In the
midst Of the storm and the tumult
occasioned by the revolution of 1S4S.
In observance of the anniversary.
the capital was today q mass Of
flags and bunting, and In windows
everywhere were displayed pictures
Of the aged emperor. beloved by all
his subjects and respected by all the
world. Services OF Thanksgiving
were held In all the churches and
the day was observed 40 . general
holiday. During the past summer
elaborate pageants and other spec
tacular features were held in honor
of the emperor's Jubilee. The OBJ
servance of the annual anniversary
today was confined principally to
the presentation OF formal address
es and congratulations in behalf of
the army and various departments
OF the government. the foreign diplO-
mats and numerous societies through
out the empire.
The serious illness through which
Francis Joseph passed last year sap
ped much OF his vitality and depriv-
ed him OF much of that physical
viRor which was regarded as mar
velous in man of his years. Mental
w he is as alert and active as ever.
During. the recent course Of events
in the Balkans which threatened
the peace of Europe. the aged en-
peror held daily conferences with
his ministers of state, and. as ON &c
many occasions in the past. the re-
suits furnished strong evidence OF
his consummate diplomacy and his
keen insight of the situation.

from the tree; and to keep account
of the effect of the windbreaks on
the snow which covers the ground to
leeward in winter. Many other
measurements and tests will be made,
and elaborate data will be collected
by experts who will have charge of
the study.
Many disputed questions will thus
be settled and the data gathered will
be placed at the disposal of the far
mers who desire it. Doubtless rows
of trees between the fields sometimes
do more harm than good, by casting
shade and abstracting water from the
soil. Trees may also increase the
danger from frost, since the move
ment of the air lessons that danger.
The Forest Service will study all
sorts of conditions, including the
relative value of windbreaks, con-
sisting of single row of trees, and
shelterbelts, made up of number
of such rows. A windbreak is usual
ly planted for protection alone, a
shelterbelt for both protection and
the growing of timber.

This insect did great injury to
cherry, plum and pear trees in
parts of Colorado last year. 1t
is one of oW. easiest insects to
destroy and no one who grows
these trees should allow them to
be seriously injured by it.
The slug is of dark brown color,
Shiny in appearance, and does its in
juries by eating off the green sub
stance of the upper surface of the
leaf, causing foliage to turn brown
as if scorched with fire. There are
two broods of this insect each year.
The adult is black, four-winged fly
which begins to deposit its eggs in
the leaves about June LIST. This is
done by inserting sharp ovipositor
just beneath the cuticle of the leaf
where one egg is deposited in place.
Where the egg is deposited a little
brown pimple can be seen upon the
upper surface of the leaf. In about
a week these eggs hatch and the
little slugs crawl out upon the sur
face and begin to feed. In about two
weeks more they become mature.
crawl to the ground, and spin little
silk cocoons, where they remain for
two or three weeks longer, and then
hatch into another brood of black
flies like those that began in the
spring. These also deposit eggs in
precisely the same manner as the
preceding brood. but usually in far
greater numbers, so that the princi-
pal injury is commonly done during
August and early September, when
they often almost completely destroy
the leaves of the trees, and at time
of the year when the trees can least
afford to spare their foliage. 1t is
too late for the trees to put out new
leaves before winter, and without the
service of the leaves at this time of
the year to manufacture the starchy
food material which is to start plant
growth in the spring, the trees of the
state, the spring brood of this insect
is already present in the orchards.
Remedies.
The slugs feed so freely upon the
surface of the leaves that they are
very easily killed by any of the arsen-
arsenite of lime, or Paris green ap-
piled in moderate strength. One
pound of the arssnate of lead to each
twenty-five gallons of water, or one
pound of the Paris green to one hun
dred gallons of water. Will make
preparation of sufficient strength to
promptly destroy this insect.
Sometimes it is necessary to make
an application when cherries or plums
are nearly grown, when it is not
advisable to cover the fruit with an
arsenical poison In this case one
can use white hellebore in water in
the proportion of one ounce to three
The daily sentinel., 1908-06-17
HOW TO KILL THE
SLUG FRUIT PEST

gallons. If the hellebore is used. it
is little better to apply towards
evening. Try to distribute the spray
as evenly and thoroughly as possible
to all the leaves of the tree without
using enough to cause it to run off
to any great extent.
Where only few trees are to be
treated, one may use air slaked lime
or fine road dust, throwing the dust
very freely over the surface of the
leaves. This remedy is not quite so
effectual as the preceding. but can
often be used with entire satisfaction.

OF our " presidents. Washington.
Jefferson, Monroe, William Henry Har-
rison. Lincoln, Garfield and Cleveland
we're conspicuous among the physical
heavyweiGhts of their times. While in
some cases the bodily weight was due
rather to unusual height than to stoutness,
yet in the final analysis the heavy men
of whatever build have been the prime
fayorites OF the people.
1t is safe to say that Of our twenty-five
presidents we may class eleven as OF high
opinions may differ-that these are Wash
ington. John Adams. Jefferson, Monroe,
Jackson, William Henry Harrison, Taylor,
Lincoln. Cleveland. Mckinley and Roose-
Welt, it is found that the average weight
of these men is fraction over 40 pounds.
During Mr.. Cleveland's second administra-
ton he weighed 2S pounds, exactly the
weight OF Mr.. Taft today. Mr.. Roosevelt's
present weight Is 2s pounds.
On the other hand the average weight
Of the present heads Of eleven leading
European governments is but a trifle over
1sO pounds each. which strengthens the
theory that, other things being equal, re-
publics have a peculiar weakness for
physical heavyweights.
The New York World t-abulates the
height and weight of American presidents
as follows:
