DEAR ARGUS:
 am finishing ny third weel in the Land of Flowers. !" Las December l spent week in this state, but that was just over the Georgia line. On this trip have penetrated into the orange belt, and have looked with my owr eyes upon the luscious fruit as i grows upon the trees. Tester day I walked among the trees and when 10 ore was looking threw stick, knocked an orane and ate it, and it was the sweet est orange 1 have eaten upon this this trip.

Oranges are raised as far ui as Palatka. but tie danger iron cold weather ia that section is SC great that not many are willing to take the risk.

PLANS FOR JUDGING AT
SPOKANE APPLE SHOW

Spokane, Wash, Oct. 2. - Rem H.
Rice, secretary-manage of the Nation
al Apple Show, Inc, announces that
the single judge system will be carried
out in making awards at the second
exposition here, Nov. Is to 20, when
prizes and premiums of total value
of $4,000 will be distributed in 20
classes, free and open to the world,
ranging from full carload to single
plate. The chief prize is $1,000 in
gold in the sweepstakes for carloads
of commercial winter apples, which
carries with it the championship of
the world and the title of quality apple
king of America.
1t is also officially announced that
in awarding prizes On all commercial
exhibits, unless otherwise provided,
the judges will be governed by the
rules and scoring points adopted by
the American Pathological Society. No
protest will be allowed
Prof. H. E. Van Deman, of Ferriday,
La, secured as chief judge, advocates
recognizing the commercial points of
fruit, and in this he considers that
the chief points should have the same
relative values, as follows: Quality 20,
color 20, condition 20, pack 20, uni
formity 10, size 10, total 100.
The society's rules, giving quality
ratings, were adopted in 1908, and
there has been no revision, despite the
fact that improvement has been made
in certain apples, also that new varie-
ties have come into vogue. While it
is more than likely that the society
will revise the quality rating at it's
next meeting, at present the only guide
the judges have is as follows:
The San Juan islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1898-1914, 1909-10-08

prof. Van Deman will have a meet
ing with the associate judges before
they begin their work. said Mr. Rice,
land he will propose the foregoing
scorecard on commercial exhibits.
With reference to values of varieties,
in which the rules and scoring points
of the American Pathological Society
also apply, it may be stated that
number of varieties, which have been
brought to a high state of perfection,
are scored low, but this probably will
be overcome by liberal construction
Of the regulations by the judges"

The great trouble in the bush Is
the servant question. Hard as IL Is
to get servants in Australian cities, IL
is far more difficult to find them IN
the bush. Bush girls themselves stay
and work at home, where there IS al
ways much to do. High wages are
paid. But thousands of bush homes
are run without any other domestic
servants than the cook and the lady
help. The latter is an institution. she
Is treated exactly like one OF the fam

Flowers m Food.

An interesting development Of the
use of flowers for food Is recorded in
the daily papers, says the London
Globe. The use of candied petals of
the violet as sweetmeat has long
been known, but the practice is now
arising of preserving flowers whole.
You may now buy bunch, say Of VIC

a number of flowers are habitually
eaten. Gloves, capers, caulifowers and
artichokes are all flowers, or parts of
flowers, before the blossoms have ex.
banded.

MIX and Milking.

Many people believe that milk Is
ready-made and stored in the udder of
the COW simply awaiting the mixer.
This impression is corrected by the
statement of the well-known scientist,
John Burroughs, who says: Most
persons think that giving down or
holding up the milk by the COW is
voluntary act. In fact, they fancy
that the udder is a vessel filled with
milk, and that the cow releases or
withholds it just as she chooses. But
the udder is a mandatory; It IS
filled with blood from which the milk
is manufactured while you milk. This
process is controlled by the cows
nervous system; when she is excited
or in any way disturbed, as by
stranger, or by taking away her calf,
or any other cause, the process Is ar
rested and the milk will not flow. The
nervous energy goes elsewhere. The
whole process is as involuntary as Is
digestion In man and is disturbed or
arrested in about the same way.-In-

Dynamite for Tree Planting.

Dynam1to Tor Tree PIanffn8.
Holes for tree planting, according
to the Engineering Record. have been
excavated by the Long Island Rail-
way by blasting with dynamite. A
hole about two feet deep was first dug
with a posthole augur at an angle of
about 35 degrees with the surface and
loaded with half stick of 40 per cent
dynamite. This shot makes a hole
about two feet deep and three feet in
diameter, leaving the earth in the
bottom pulverized suitably for plant
ing. It Is stated that two men can
thus excavate ESQ holes per ten-hour
day at a cost of about IN cents per
hole.

The Lost Cud.
II WISH" said an experienced veteri-
nary, that l had all the cloth which
has been wasted In manufacturing
cuds to replace those lost" This Is
one of the dregs of superstition which
still clings in some places. The cud
Is returned to the mouth after enter
Ing the first stomach, and its loss Is
generally an indication of indigestion.
This Is most prevalent in winter,
when cows are heavily grained. Should
1t appear in summer when they are on
pasture, but receiving some grain, it
Is we'll to remove the latter ration for
few days. After day or two give
l pound Of Epson salts and ounces
ground ginger root mixed in two
quarts Of warm water After she re-
sumes her cud feed for time on
green grass and good hay, gradually
working back to the grain ration.

San Jose Scale.

The San Jose scale is the insect
that should be sought out and fought
at all seasons Of the year. It Is a
soft-bodied insect protected by waxy
covering which can be penetrated only
by very corrosive chemicals. Owing
to injury to foliage, these chemicals
must be used in winter or when the
trees are dormant.
