an extension rod with an eighth bend,
so you can get all around the tree
without moving. Two large or several
small MOBILES should be used on the
end of the rod to throw a dense, fine
spray. Have at least 80 feet of hose
and if two leads, one 25 feet and the
other 40 feet, so you can get the noz-
zle where you want to put the spray.
The Misty, Jr., nozzle will throw
more spray than two old-style Yer
morels, and will not clog. An ordinary
gas pipe gives as good results as a
bamboo extension rod and is much
cheaper. Aluminium is too brittle. Cut
it in threefoot sections and use two
for six-foot and three for a nine
foot rod
The attachment is preferable to the
U, for the latter throws the spray
from the nozzles to nearly horizon
tai. Use not over two nozzles for
spraying a dormant tree, but four or
five for a tree in foliage. A conf
cal tin strainer with brass wire SO
meshes to the inch supported over one
fourth-inch mesh wire is best and
quickest for straining.

FOR FIGHTING THE CURCULIO
stroying This Destructive Little
Orchard Pest.

The quickest and most economical
method of fighting the curculio, where
there are only few thees, is to place
a sheet under each tree early in the
morning, as soon as the insects ap-
pear, and jar the trunk; when they
fall gather and burn, says the Bal
timore American. This should be
done twice a week for two or three
weeks, when most, if not all Of them,
can be caught before the fruit is in
jured. The plum, the damson, and
the apricot are the fruits most in
jured. Slugs that attack the pear
and other trees may be killed by dust
ing the leaves, when damp, with fresh
airslaked lime. Apple trees should
be sprayed early in the spring
when buds commence to form; after
the blossoms fall, when fruit is one
third grown and when half grown. The
Bordeaux and paris green solution is
the best remedy. These solutions may
be had already prepared at the agri-
cultural stores.

Propaaatinq Grape Vines.

The best way to increase grape
vines for home vineyard is to make
simple cuttings in the fall after the
leaves have dropped. This may be
done when the parent vine is pruned
for the winter, the pruning of we'll
developed wood being cut in lengths
SO as to include two buds, one at
the base of the cutting, the other just
below the top. The cuttings are then
to be bundled with their butts togeth-
er and buried erect below the reach
of frost, in well drained, sandy or
loamy soil. When spring opens they
are to be set in drills six or eight
inches apart in the drill and culti-
waited like such crops as beets and
peas. The vines may be trained to
stakes or trellises, but this is not
necessary, as they are to be removed
in the fall or the following spring
and set in the vineyard.

Treatment for Sweeney.

My father was an Illinois farmer.
On two occasions / saw him effec-
tually cure sweeney, says writer in
Wallace's Farmer. In the barnyard
he built a fire of chips, in which he
placed an old ak. Then he would thor
oughly battle the lame shoulder of the
horse in lard or meat drippings and
when the ak was almost red-hot he
would hold it very close to the Shout
der and thoroughly heat the lard into
the flesh. The horse had to be held
firmly by some one, for at first he
would shy about considerably; but aft
er he learned that the treatment was
for his benefit he would take to it very
kindly. During treatment he was
given the freedom of the barnyard,
and when again worked no loose or
slouchy collar was allowed on him.
Two or three weeks (every day. treat
ment effected cure.

All Deny Wagner's Story.

j. II. Puelicher, cashier of the Mar
shall & Ilsley bank Milwaukee, testi-
fled at the trial of Frank T. Wagner,
on charge of perjury, that neither
on February 20 nor any other time
did he hand to NJ. J. Regain and AS
semblymen Ramsey and Farrell any
package containing money. He fur
ther said that he had had no connec-
ton with Senator Stephenson's ex-
Denses since the primary campaign.
Mr.. Puelicher said that when he
came home on the night of February
10 from Madison, where he testified
before the senatorial Investigating
committee, he went to bed and stayed
there all Saturday, the day on which
Wagner located his Plankinton house
story, being i'll and unable to go to
the bank. Mr.. Puelicher said that he
did not know and had never met AS
semblyman Farrell and Towne, or Mr..
Regain.
Miss Gertrude Puelicher, daughter
of Mr.. Puelicher, corroborated the
statements of her father. She said
he left for the east March 4 and that
she knew positively that he was at
home on the two previous Saturdays.
II. S. Greene, manager of the Plank
linton house, gave testimony as to the
location of the rooms 152, 153 and
154, where Wagner said before the
committee, he saw over a transom
how Mr.. Puelicher and Mr.. Regain
paid money over to Messrs. Ramsey
and Farrell. Mr. Greene said there
was no transom over the door be-
tween rooms 152 and 153 and the key
hole being out of alignment it was i'm
possible to see through it.
Matt ]. Regain of Milwaukee reit-
Grated his testimony given at the pre-
liminary examination, the substance
of it being that he never was in the
Plankinton house at the time alleged
by Wagner, nor with the men named
nor did he ever handle any money as
alleged He said that to the best of
his knowledge he was in Palmyra on

Dane County Crops Still Safe.

The crops of Dane county are safe.
but were in danger because Of lack
of rain. Letters from different Sec
tons indicated that the crop suffering
the most is tobacco. The stronger
plants were stunted in growth and be-
gan to blossom, while the smaller
ones in some places were dying for
want of moisture. Corn was an av-
erage crop, except on low grounds,
where it may be above the average.
Senator Donald of Mt. Vernon be-

crops escaped serious damage.

included floral automobile parades,
military band concerts, balloon
tournament, naval battle in the bay,
historical and Industrial pageants,
athletic exhibitions and many other
attractive features.
Gov. James o. Davidson was busy
