COMMENDS LINDBERGH.

st. Peter Herald, Dem: In the First
congressional district of our own
state a representative who has made
himself obnoxious to his constituents
has had his political life prolonged
four years by his organization of post
masters, and there are few districts in
the country not dominated by
machines of this kind. Congressman
Lindbergh IS to be commended for his
independence. 1t will do no harm to
relieve postmasters of their sense of
gratitude to their congressman, and to
awaken in. them a better realization
of their responsibility to the people
they serve. -E

When court was resumed and the
jury had been charged the foreman
spoke few words to the jury In low
tone, then arose and said:
"Your honor, the jury finds that the
defendant is not guilty Of attempting
to kill the plaintiff. Furthermore, IL
he had intended to kill the plaintiff he
could have shot of his fingers and toes
separately, chipping of pieces Of him
till there was nothing left but bis
heart to keep on beating. Further
more, it wouldn't be safe to convict
him unless he's unarmed and no weap-
on within ten miles, for he could kill

could get him under"

the judge. following the verdict with
remarkable activity, and, stepping
down from the bench, he took the pre-
caution to grasp the cowboys hand
fervently that he might make peace
with him before he had a chance to
shoot. Every man in the courtroom
insured his own safety by following
the judges example. Last OF oil came

man that whenever he and his friend

notify him a sumptuous lunch would
be provided Then Lusher walked out

therefrom crawl to the calyx and enter
there; secondly, that Immediately af-
ter the petals fall there are two cavi-
ties at the calyx end, the stamen
bars" roofing the lower of the two
cavities.
The young larva enters the apple BY
eating through the floor of the lower
cavity. Balls idea was to get the poi
son lodged In sufficient quantity in
the lower cavity, where 1t would do
some good. To accomplish this he
sprayed from above, while the apples
were still erect, as shown in the illus
tration. But for few days after the
petals fall these stamen bars" are so
tightly pressed together as to make it
very difficult for the liquid to pene-
trate to the lower cavity. By waiting
week or ten days, even though the
calyx lobes are closing at that time
these bars have shrunk, enabling a
careful workman to place big dose
OF poison in the lower chamber, where
1t is needed. The nozzle should be
held above the apples, and made to
give, not mist, but a forcible and
substantial spray, directly down upon
the fruit. Later than this, however,
spraying with these principles in view
would be of little avail because the
calyx lobes are almost completely
closed. Balls work shows that enough
poison is retained from two early
sprayings to kill an average of 80 per
cent. OF the worms of the first brood
and "A per cent. of the second brood.
To accomplish good results the spray
must be forceful one used abundant

GARDEN WORKING NOTES.

The woman who finds garden work
too exhaustive may transform it into
a healthful exercise by giving 1t her
time in the early morning or twilight
hours.
A small box of convenient height
makes comfortable seat and may be
readily moved from place to place. 1t
saves tired knees.
The five-cent cotton gloves used by
many make cheap and effective pro-
lection for the hands, more comforta-
Bile and more quickly adjusted than
those which fit.
The hoe is better tool in dry
weather than the hose. Cabbage, on
ions, tomatoes and oucumbers can
scarcely have the soil too rich. A rich.
light loan, with sunny slope, is an
ideal spot for melons. Beans will grow
on poorer soil and still thrive.
If the plants are all growing nicely
do not wait for them to halt for lack
OF food, but dig hole between the
hills and put in some poultry-house
fertilizer.

These ears were allowed to ripen. and

Advantages Of the Separator.

One Of the greatest advantages of
the hand separator is the reduction of
hauling and handling the dairy prod
uct when a creamery is patronizsd.
In the busy summer season. when the
time of men and teams IL valuable.
much time is wasted in hauling milk
to the creamery and waiting turns to
get the skinned milk to bring back
home. In many cases this loss is
almost as much as the product is
worth.
