PRESIDENT TAFT DOES NOT IN.
TEREST HIMSELF TO SUIT THE
BUCKEYE STATE FOLKS.
DISSATISFACTION WITH PLAN
Taft's independent Policy is Shown
by Filling judicial Vacancies With
Democrats " Proper Republicans
Cannot be Found.

Washington. May 2i.-Scnators and
representatives who are looking for
good government bcrths for constit-
ucnts are not finding it easy to pry
out Of office the men who came in
during the McKinlcr administrations.
The president continues to display
little interest in The subject of pat
ronage.
I'm making changes he is not ask
ing whether man slated to 20
has served one year or twelve years;
he tells congressman all he wants
TO know is that good service Is
being rendered.
When Taft came in the impress
sion prevailed among public men
that there would be wholesale
changes As matter of fact there
have ben comparatively few. Even
some of the new cabinet officers
have been content to accept the ser
vices of the assistants they found
in Office when they took hold. Post.
master General Hitchcock still has
around him the four assistant post
masters general that were in office
when he entered the cabinet.
No doubt, If Hitchcock could have
had his way he would have made
changes, for he has at his heels
large number OF men who feel that
he ought to take care OF them. but
I the president suggested that no
changes he made The working or
ganization I'm the war department
has not undergone any change since
the new secretary of war entered
office and in the interior department
Secretary Ballingcr has accepted the
services OF the assistants he found
there. The same situation exists in
IN, agrcultural department.
Doubtless changes will be made
from time TO time i'm the places out
side the classified service, but If
the present policy is adhered to they
will be made for the good of the
service and not for political reasons
not for the purpose of making II
possible for some senator or repre-
sentative 10 put a favori;c into the
service. Observers here point 20 the
situation as illustrating the progress
that has been made in handling the
question OF patronage.
Uuqcstiouably there is good
deal of dissatisfaction with the Taft
policy of patronage. ont in Ohio

Zoologist, Harrisburg: II have
cherry trees that have punches of
gum. Can you give me remedy
to rid the trees of the troubled"
ANSWER: The gum oozing
FROM the bark of your trees may be
from one of three or four causes.
1t may be
(D Mechanical injury. in which
case the best thing to do is to clean
away the gum and paint the wound
with melted grating wax or bees
wax, or even common house paint,
and let Nature take care of it.
(2) A fungus disease sometimes
called "GUMMosUs," in which case
severe pruning back of trees, culti-
vation, fertilization of soil and wa
tering are about all that can be
done, as the purpose should be to
stimulate growth. This can not be
reached by spraying, as it is be-
meath the bark.
CD Bark Borers or Shot-hole
Borers. These are the larvae of
very minute beetles that make tun-
nels beneath the bark and are also
called "Engraver Beetles" When
they mature they bore through the
bark and leave holes about the size
of those made by gun shot, or
about the size of pins head. This
is why they are called "Shot-hole
Borers." They attack only trees
that are declining. There is no
way of reaching them in the sense
of remedy, but the best thing to
do is to prune back the trees, culti-
vate the soil, and water abundant
ly and frequently with water COLI
tanning teaspoonful of nitrate of
soda i'll each gallon of water. This
is to stimulate growth, and often is
successful.
CD The fourth cause of gum is
larger kind of borer, such as is to
be seen in peach and plum trees
frequently. This can be killed by
inserting a soft wire with a sharp
point, or by cutting out with a
sharp knife, Sitting lengthwise
rather than crosswise in the bark;
or using the best possible remedy
for borers, which consists of a liquid
called carbon bisulfide of carbon,
put into spring bottom oil can and
injected into the holes they occupy.
Close up these holes with mud or
clay, and the pests will be killed at
once and the tree not injured as it
might be by cutting. This remedy
is recommended for all borers.

Woman's Home Companion for August

Susanna and Sue" begins in
the August issue of W0man'S Home
Companion. The scene of the story
is laid in a Shaker village, which
gives an opportunity for novel
plot. The first instalment promises
even greater charm than Mrs.
Wiggin's famous earlier books.
Edward Everett Hale's Reminis-
cences are appearing exclusively in
Woman's Home Companion. Now
that his revered white head ard
kindly smile have gone forever,
these "reminiscences, always charm
ing, have an added interest.
Edward Everett Hale's death is
peculiar loss to the WomaAS
Home Companion, to which he has
contributed so constantly during
the last few years. The August
issue in an appreciation of Doctor
Hale's life and work has some new
anecdotes that are full of the charm
of Doctor Hale's personality.
This issue has none of the power
ty Of many summer magazines.
There are eight stories in it-each
good and e,ch novel.
The mother of to-day has a
problem her grandmother never
knew. The modern girl, after
many years at school, looks with
scorn at the housekeeping which
her mother knows is so important.

out way to make the college girl

lished stories of famous men and
women, which she will tell to Com-

intimate way. The first of the series
deals with the ever-interesting
Empress Josephine at Malmaison-
where she died
The matter OF diet in summer is
one fraught with many difficulties.
In the W0man's Home Comba0i0n
for August DR.. Woods Hutchinson
claims that we are apt to starve
ourselves in summer. He says that
we suffer from the heat because of
bad physical condition and that we
would feel the heat less if we ate
three good meals a day.

Camp Cooking" and Washing
Fineries" are of special interest
right now.
The Childrens Department and
the Fashion Department are both
particularly good. The Embroidery
pages are full of summer ideas,

CAUSE OF GAPES IN CHICKS.

CAUSE OF GAPES IN CHICKS.
Prof. II. A. Surface. the State
Zoologist, is daily in receipt of let
tiers requesting information in re-
gard to insect pests and the diseas-
es of plant life. These letters come
10 his Office in Harrisburg from
every part of the State and are up
on many topics. 1t was not sur
prising, therefore, tnat he received
one in reference to that common
affliction of poultry, known as
gapes. The correspondent asked
for the best relief for chicks suffer
ing with gapes, and wanted to
know how to prevent the trouble.
Prof. Surface replied that "Gapes
in little chickens are caused by the
eating of earth worms. There are
parasites in the earth-v orms which
lind their way into the windpipe Of
the chicken and lodge there, where
they take the form of little red
worms. The best preventive is to
Keep the chickens from the surface
If the ground; or use salt or strong
salt water op the soil, Sc as to kill
he earthworms; or strew strong
ime or something of the kind on
he ground, so that the chicks will
not get hold of the worms to eat
hem.
"After the chicks have been at
acked with gapes, however, you
:an dis)odge the worms by making
very small loop in twisted horse
lair, draw out the tongue of the
hick slightly, insert the horse hair
oop in the windpipe opening,
which will be seen between the
orks at the base of tongue, and,
visiting the hair around, with
lraw it. The worms are likely to
,e found within the loop. or some
f them will have been thus re-
uoved, and the operation can be
epeated.
Another remedy is to dip the
ip of soft feather into kerosene
n insert it in the windpipe open
ng to dislodge and kill the worms.
uch treatment, although severe, is
etter than letting the worms re-
lain undisturbed, to severely an
oy the fowls and even kill them.
Milking turpentine or other sub
tances in the food of the young
oultry has not proven satisfactory
a remedy for gapes."

ANT HILLS IN GRASS PLOTS.
The Superintendent of ceme-
tery in Pottsville wrote to the PENN
sylvania State College in regard to
the trouble that was being expert
enced by some of the lot holders in
that cemetery through ants build
ing hills on the lots and destroying
the grass.
The letter was referred to Prof.
Surface, State Zoologist, Harris
burg, who gave the following in
formation:
"You can get rid of these pests
with certainty, and very easily, by
making holes in the ant hills to a
depth of foot or a foot and one
half, and pouring in liquid known
as carbon bisulfide or bisulfide of
carbon. Use about one. half tea
cupful of this to each hill, making
the holes two or three feet apart, in
accordance with the size of the ant
hill and the porocity of the ground.
For heavy clay soil, they must
be nearer, but for light, sandy
soil, they can be nearly three feet
apart. These holes can be made
with a sharpened stick. A broom
handle, pointed at the end, will an
swer the purpose. After the liq-
uid has been poured in, close the
holes with earth, and also keep the
mound covered with wet blanket
for an hour or two. The carbon
bisul6de will not injure vegetation,
but it will kill the ants"
