f. T, Bushnell, chief clerk in the Bu-
reau Of the First Assistant Postmaster
General. who was injured In an auto
mobile accident at Wycks. Mont, yes
terday, has telegTaphed Acting Post
master General Grandheld. that he
would not be able TO continue the Jour
ney TO Butte, where he was scheduled
TO make an address at q convention OF
Montana pOstmasters. but would return
to Helena and take the train for home.
Dispatches from Helena last night
stated that the automobile in which

souri,; T. K. Cheadle, prospective Re-
publican candidate for governor; Post
master Malcolm ellis. OF Butte. and
c. +. King OF Helena, were riding,
overturned while descending a mountain
as the result of the failure OF the brakes
to work.
The fact that Mr.. Bushnell is able 10
travel leads his friends to believe that
he has not been seriously injured. He
is reported in the dispatches as having
suffered a fracture OF the ankle. He was
taken to the hospital at Boulder for
treatment, together with Postmaster
Ross. who sustained a broken leg, and
Mr. Cheadle, who was injured Internal

Use Of Down Apples.

Owing TO the shortage OF the
apple crop this year it is not
necessary TO sound a very loud
warning against wasting the fall
len apples. The price is so high
for all kinds OF apples that every
one will be saved In years when
the apple crop is abundant IT is
appalling to see how much fruit
is allowed to 60 TO waste on the
average farm. The local market
is overstocked. and as soon as
the merchant stops buying, the
farmer concludes that there is no
market. so he allows the fruit to
rot where it falls. There are
many ways in which the down
fruit can be turned into money.
One OF these is by making the
apples into cider. or cider vinegar.
In every small town th.re are
hundreds of families who prefer
home made cider vinegar to the
acid vinegar purchased at the
store, and are willing to pay a
little more for il. The writer
knows of several apple growers
who make considerable money
every year by manufacturing the
down apples into vinegar and
selling it from house to house in
the towns.
Another way to turn the down
product into money is to manu-
facture apple butter. One wo-
man living near an Iowa town of
less than 5000 sold over $40
worth of apple butter last year.
She and her two daughters picked
the down apples as fast as they
dropped, removed the spoiled
parts, made them into apple
butter. and canned this into quart
jars. During the winter her sons
sold the jars from house to house
in the town, receiving on an aver.
age 80 cents per quart for the
butter. After the cost of the jar
was deducted it left about 80 cents
per quart for labor, and we do
not doubt that it could be canned
and shipped to the cities and
sold for even more than the
price mentioned above.-Colorado

Fall Spraying for Aphis Important.

OC SdiuCd Oy liz itii'll'-didtC , ~ d
ing of all apple, or pear trees, IN
tested with either the Green or
the Woolly aphis.
The reasons why spraying at
this time will probably result in
more good than at any other sea-
son of the year. especially in the
control of the Green aphis, are
apparent when we understand the
life histories of the species under
discussion.
For several weeks during the
summer months winged genera
tions OF the Green aphis put in
their appearance. and it is at this
time that the pests are spread
from tree to tree and from or
chard to orchard. AT the present
time no winged Green aphis can
be found, neither will they again
appear this season. There can
be fourd, however. wingless
males and females, the latter of
which will soon begin depositing
eggs on the twigs, which will
hatch next spring into wingless
females which in the character
istic way of the family Aphididae,
will in a few days after Matching
begin giving birth to living
young.
The fact that there are no
winged lice at this season of the
year makes it possible to rid an
orchard OF the pest with little
chance of reinfestation this fall,
thus allowing the trees to recover
somewhat their normal condition.
and also insuring against attack
the coming spring until winged
lice begin to come from un-
sprayed orchards. or from trees
where some were unavoidably
missed in the operation of spray
ing.
The winged forms of this spe-
cies of aphis were first seen the
past season, on the 10Th OF May.
so about the middle OF the month
a rapid increase in their numbers
may be expected due to the es-
tablishing of new colonies OF the
winged females. From this time
until the 10Th of August many
winged forms are seen.
Orchards infested with the
Woo.y aphis should be sprayed
Immediately. as the first winged
generation of this species OF
plant louse begin to appear about
Sept. lst.. and If not killed by
spraying their migration will re-
suit in the rapid increase of the
pest.
Orchardists who have used the
decoction of tobacco sold under
the name of BLACK Leat." will
no doubt. agree with me that
there is no better remedy at the
present time. This substance
should be diluted by using one
part of the BLACK Leaf" to 30
parts of water.
The success of the spraying will
depend upon the thoroughness of
the application of the material. l
believe it is safe to say that more
failures are due to careless spray
ing than to all other causes.
Spraying is a rather expensive
operation and for that reason
many do not use enough of the
material to get satisfactory re-
suits. lis we'll to bear in mind,
however. that one thorough
spraying will not cost any more

MENINGITIS SERUM.
First Application of New Treat
ment in Louisville.

For the first time since its rather
recent discovery, the anti-serum
for meningitis has been used on a
patient in Louisville. 1t is being
given its first trial upon Miss Lii
liam Zulauf, who has been suffer-
ing intense agonies with meningi-
tbs. Wednesday night the needle
was put in the spinal cord and a
quantity of fluid drawn, and after
ward replaced with the same
amount of anti-serum. 1t was
necessary to put the patient under
the influence of an anaesthetic be-
fore the serum was injected.
Miss Zulauf was taken i'll and
spinal meningitis developed. Her
spine is rigid and her head is
twisted back between her shout
ders.'
