SAN JOSE SCALE SPREADING
Principal Commercial Apple Orchards
Of Entire Country Menaeed by
Pestlferous Insect.

Washington.-The principal com.
mercial apple orchards of the country
are destined to become infested with
the San Jose scale. according to a bull
letin entitled "Fumigation OF Apples
for the San Jose Scale" just pub
lished by the department Of agricul-
ture. The scale is spreading rapidly
over vast areas each year.
Although there are numerous orch
ards not affected In the western and
eastern states. where the disease is
well-established. there is no doubt, ac-
cording to the bulletin, that these
soon will be visited by the scale. 1t
Is regarded as a certainty that there
will be a spread of 1t west of the Mis-.
sissippi.
The bulletin treats OF the fumiga-
tion OF the trees and fruit and con-
tains a statement that "a little care
lessness in spraying, the use of i'm
proper solutions or unfavorable
weather conditions at the time of
making applications may allow the
survival of the scale In sufficient num-
bers to result. later in the season. in
their settling in considerable num-
bers upon the fruit"

METHOD OF PICKING
APPLES FOR MARKET
When Scarce Il Is Very Important
Consumption In the Winter-By
A.

When apples are scarce Il is very
important to conserve them to best
advantage. So very many families
are without apples during most OF
the winter. Often persons remark to
me that they had quite a lot Of ap-
pies at gathering time, but they
wouldn't keep. Now why is this? We
know 1t is the business OF sound
apple to keep till its cell structure is
broken down by over-ripening. un.
less interfered with by an outside
agent This agent may be a bruise.
q rotten apple or too great warmth
Apples do not rot through pure Gus
sedness. The farmer will drive his
jolt wagon into the orchard and then
pick and pour into II apples OF vari.
Gus varieties and every conceivable
grade of rottenness and soundness.
writes Joe A. Burton in Farmers Re-
view. When the box is full, all the
pickers sit on the apples while they
are driven to the place Of deposit
The pickers are on the apples with
their feet while they scoop up with
both hands half a dozen at time

Specks In Butter.

The white specks In butter are due
to poor ripening Of the cream, says
the Epitomist.
Some of the cream has "wheyed of"
and decomposed and the casein has
gathered in clots and the whey has
separated from the cream. These
clots of curd will not churn out. They
remain in the butter as clots and al.
ways look white. Artificial coloring
has no effect upon them, and winter
or summer they spoil the looks of the
butter Greater care In ripening the
cream is called for. but even in
creameries there are times when
these colorless clots form and the
sure way to do is 10 strain the cream
into the churn. Then the clots do not
get into the churn and are not found
in the butter.

Young Arlstoeratic Engllshmen and

London.-Society is gossiping about
the tremendously high gambling by
members of two of the most exclusive
clubs in the west end, some of whom
are young attaches of the foreign le-
cations. other gilded youths of aristo-
cratic English families.
Following other heavy losses at the
card table. one diplomat lost $4,000
on Tuesday afternoon, an amount
equal to his salary for three years.
Whatever his private fortune he had
to default ON his debts of honor. Con.
sequently he will not be recognized by
the gentlemen who won his money nor
by the others, and his career in diplo-
macy is ruined.
OF course. foreign diplomats are i'm
mune from all legal proceedings. But
not so with English gamesters. One
Of these. an officer in a crack cavalry
corps. has lost 100000 in six weeks.
1t is reported. Certainly he is being
put through bankruptcy now by the
money lenders who had his notes.
Another young English aristocrat
who was hit heavily at the game has
an ornamental position at court. The
fact that he has ruined himself finan.
cially was told to King Edward. who
ordered an angry complaint to be ad-
dressed TO the house committee OF
the club where the gambling went on.

moral consideration we will never
know because commercially we can
not take such risks.
Apples should be picked in medium
sized baskets and not bruised. This
means that they must be placed in
the baskets by hand and neither
dropped nor tossed. They should be
hauled in these same baskets on a
spring wagon to the packing stand
Do not pour them In a box there but
sort them from the basket The fol-
lowing is the procedure with us: A
basket Of apples is placed on the
table directly In front of the sorter.
Around this is grouped four empty
baskets. There are four grades-No.

kets should always occupy the same

WOMEN IN FIELD OF SCIENCE
Margaret Huddleson, a Kansas City
Girl, Gives instructions on
Fruit Raising.

Detroit.-Wandering through the
huge white marble buildings of the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton, one sees many women, in neat
white aprons. some of them mere
girls, bending over microscopes and
test tubes. Their activities seem very
mysterious; but when one inquiries.
one learns that they are engaged in
original research work relating In
one way or another to farming or
gardening. Z,

botanist in The plant bureau, is nole-

she entered that establishment orig
inally in an ordinary clerical ca.
pacity as a stenographer and type
writer That was only a few years
ago, when, mere girl, she came to
Washington from Cincinnati. But she
was the inheritor of scientific aptitude
from family in which there had been
many searchers after exact truth in
botanical and other lines. and she
quickly took up plant study as a pro-
fessional pursuit.
Miss Henkel, though still a young
woman, is the author of a number Of
scientific bulletins already issued by
the plant bureau. One OF these is on
the subject of Weeds" Another Is
on Drug Plants"-this latter subject
being one TO which she has devoted
special attention. Up to the present
time more matter of hers has been
published by the government than
from the pen OF any other woman
Miss Margaret Huddleson is an

INCREASE in
STOCK RAISING
Noteworthy Feature An Industry
Is Improvement OF Breeds
I'm All Kinds OF
Animals.

In the past several years American
cattle breeders have sent some Of their
finest blood to the Argentine Republic,
South America, and that country has
been rapidly improving its native
breeds with this better blood. The
American consul in Buenos Ayres
writes that the country is rapidly in
creasing its cattle and regularly ex-
ports beef TO English markets. In
1895 there were 21,791 sic head of cat
tie there and in 1908 there were 29.-
116,625 head. AS compared with other
countries Argentina ranks third in the
number OF cattle. Russia. with 91.-
100000 head. stands first, and the
United States follows with 69,000.000
head.
A noteworthy feature in the stock
raising industry is the improvement
of breeds OF all classes OF animals. In
the last cattle census 1t was found
that 3.4 per cent. of the entire num-
ber were thoroughbreds, and 51.7 per
cent. were improved crossbreeds. II
was found that many fields that had
heretofore been sown to wheat were
now devoted TO cattle raising on in
tensive principles of the industry. The
value of the cattle Of Argentina Is es-
timated at $928,6S5 1884. Diseases OF
cattle and other live stock have been
combated so successfully that the dis
eases are either stamped out or con-
fined to isolated cases and to small
territorial areas.
Considerable uneasiness has been
occasioned by the strict British in

Body Turns TO Stone.

Portland. Ore.-When the body Of
Paul Limerick. who died ten years
ago. was disinterred at Mount Calvary
cemetery few days ago. preparatory
to removal and re-burial, 1t was found
the remains had become petrified.

the nose and eyes, were perfectly pre-

were as natural as IN life. The pet
rified body had assumed a dark
brown color.
This is the sixth case OF petrifica.

not nearly as well preserved as that
OF Limerick. It required five men to
remove the body.
