terests Of All the People, Lessee
Declares.

Belle Isle casino will be run fo.'
all or the people. rich, poor and mid
die-class; everybody will get the 'bes:
service l can give them"
That Is the policy of William Koncn,
whose lease OF the city's big park res
taurant has just been renewed for a
year, after a hard fight In the common
council. Konen has run the casino
since 1t was first opened and has had
MS troubles In plenty In doing 1t. The

TALLY finished and the result was q
losing season. while the next year
|evened this up.
A reduction In prices has been made
for this season. ~ ~ 'oi 'eT4pi -
Il took the casino with the idea that
IT should be something that all the
city could be proud Of" says Konen.
when a Detroit man wants to show
Belle Isle to friend and then have
something to eat, he has right tn
have his meal In a nice place. And
everyone who knows the conditions in
the old casino and in the new one, will
see that ii Is better now.
Tipping? prefer not to say any
thing about that, Whole nations and
governments have tried to stop tipping
and failed. But I can see to II that a
man gets good service without tipping
the waiter. The waiter who waits
around for tips Is the kind that kills
trade and can't afford to have 'em.
IF there is any complaint to make
about service or overcharge, want

Suggestions for Spraying.

One of the first requisites toward
success in spraying trees is a good
and complete outfit. One of the best
consists of a so gallon can, which
rests on its side in rack to hold
IL in place. a strong force pump with
an uatomatic stirrer. two sections
of half inch hose sixteen feet long.
two ten foot extension rods and two
double vermorel nozzles.
With this outfit. three men. a
team and wagon, 500 twelve year
old trees can be sprayed in one day.
Ii is OF utmost Importance that
the materials used be first class. and
carefully compounded. The most eff
fectual formula is three-fourths OF
pound of paris green. twelve
pounds blue vitrol and twelve pounds
of fresh air Stacked lime, to $50 gal
Ions of water.
In preparing the mixture. put SO
pounds of blue vitrol in burlap
sack and suspend It in a barrel con
tanning SO gallons OF water. the day
before 1t is going to be used, in
order to give it ample time to thor
oughly dissolve.
Slake twleve pounds OF fresh lime
and when ready to use IL strain IL
into another vessel. and slake
twelve pounds more ready to be used
when wanted. Next put three
fourths of n pound of paris green
In one glalon of water and keep it
thoroughly stirred until ready to
use next day.
The following morning when ready
to begin spraying, fill the cask al
most full of water. leaving room for
the ingredients. Then strain the
lime solution into the cask. next
w elve gallons of blue vitrol solu-
ton. and lastly the paris green mix
turc.
Place the ends of the pump hose
so rs to pump the solution back In,
to the cask, and run the pump sew
eral minutes in order to thoroughly
mix the entire solution.
In spraying apply the mixture
with sufficient force to reach every
part OF the tree and foliage giving
fine misty spray until the tree is
well covered, which is Indicated by
slight droppings of the mixture from
me trees. Make It practice to spray
three times each season.
The first spraying is commenced
Just before the blossom buds open

oorer are making preparations to
Degin their destructive work in the
orchard.
In spraying the second time, be-
gin just as soon as the petals of the
blossoms have dropped and make the
ihlrd spraying ten days later.
The second spraying is the most
important of all, as almost every
pest by this time is doing ravenous
work.-Field and Farm.

Land Hunger in Cities.

The American people have always
had land hunger. They have it yet.
And the people of the cities have it
in more acute form than ever be-
fore. Several things have conspired
to develop the back to the land
idea in our city population. the
first is the increased cost of living
in the cities. The most economical
and prudent man who works for wa
ges in a great city today cannot save
much money even If he is well paid.
Thousands who make what wouia
have been considered high wages
ten or twenty years ago have little
more than enough to keep up their
current expenses. Other thousands
are barely existing without the pos
sibility of becoming Independent Of
the uncertainty of employment. and
the certainty of collectors calls.
The panic of 1907, which took en-
p.oyment away from SO many peo-
pie without reducing their living ex-
penses to any great extent. caused
| thousands to think seriously of get
ting into some business in which
the bite to eat and the dud to
wear" will not depend wholly upon
matters beyond their control. such
as panics, rents and prices.
Another cause of the present land
hunger in cities is the reading of
articles and advertisements in the
daily papers Never before were
afioat so many thrilling stories of
success of farming success ACHE
we'd without experience and without
capital. Independence acquired in a
short time, and beside all of this,
is prosperity on a few acres, follow
ing close after the lack of it in the
city.
Not all of this literature is false.
but much bears with it evidence OF
establishment. and some tells OF
achievements that are clearly impos-
sible. OF course the advertisements
calculated to interest the city man
in land turn toward him the bright
side of the picture. 1t is the pur-
u ptSt 70 Interest MN 10 the extent
OF selling land to him. and. whether
such advertising appears in type or
in the form of exhibits and does not
and cannot be expected to show him
any thing but the attractive side of
life on the land.
1t is a good thing for the public
to become deeply interested in farm
ing. To study it and learn more
about it. Anything that makes men
do this will at last result in bet
ter understanding between the city
and the country people of this great
nation. But it is deplorable that in
misrepresentation, such inflated ex-
pectations. and at last so many los
ses and dissapointments. for many
who attempt to gain independence
without sufficient capital, without
knowledge and experience, must be
disappointed even If they do their
level best. 1t would be so in any
business.

price of about s109. per head.
1t is just as well to have a we'll
bred chicken as a well-bred horse or
COW. Any amount of food will not
make a mongrel as profitable as a
pure-bred under the same condi.
tions.
Good stock demands good care
and If they do not receive it. they
are sure to degenerate. The man
who is inclined to abuse his stock
should stick to the scrub or raise
grain exclusively.
In choosing a breed of cattle OF
any other class of live stock due
consideration should be given tc
the question of environment. Wher
one breed would be a failure an
other would perhaps be a success.

Salt MS a Cleanser.

Every housewife should realize the
possibilities Of salt as a cleanser. In
deed, salt and kerosene should be in
the cleansing outfit of every household,
for together they form a combination
which eradicates almost any dirt.
For polishing mirrors nothing can
exceed the merit Of salt. When apply
Ing it the glass must be wet with clear
water, then the salt rubbed on with a
damp newspaper. The final rubbing
may be done with dry newspapers Or
with a channels skin.
A tablespoonful OF coarse salt, q tea
spoonful of ammonia and a pint of hot
water mixed and kept for rinsing de-
canters and earafes will make them as
bright as new.
Silver discolored either by egg or
other use will respond at once to a
vigorous rubbing Of damp salt.
Salt and vinegar combined viii usual
ly restore polish to brass and copper,
and salt is a wonderful ~renovator of
polished wood surfaces that have been
dulled with hot dishes. To brighten
such spots cover the gray portions
with salt, which Is then wet with olive
oil, ali of the latter being poured on
that the salt wifi absorb. This should
stand for twenty-four hours, when 1t
should be removed and the surface
rubbed with a soft cloth. II all gray
ness has not disappeared repeat the
salt and oil bath.
For removing di~scolerations OF fruit
from teeth or hands salt is excellent.

ORNAMENTAL USES roR THE BAsKET
Illustrated is particularly handsome and
may be s~urmounted by a shade of the
same material wove with very open
spaces which show the light through
the silk lining.
A new candle shade effect is pictur-
esque. 1t is the basket type with lin
ing of yellow silk. An incandescent
dropped inside makes it a soft, pretty
light, and it is decorative for a table in
a living room.
Every nation seems at some time or
other to have expressed itself In a bas-
ket Of distinctive pattern. People of
semibarbaric history seem to excel In
the art.
Indian baskets made Of the sweet
grass In a variety of shapes and sizes
are much sought and difficult to get In
certain forms. There are those Of the
tiniest dimensions, just the size to hold
a thimble and in the shape of an acorn,
and again this same basket is big
enough to hold a piece of pick up fan
cy work.
Possibly the most unique of the bas-
kets shown are those Of Malay make.
They are very intricate in design, too
much SO to show the detail l n a draw
ing.
All OF them are a deep cream or tan.
The largest size is called a rhomhong.
This is a sort of carryall with square
like a telescope. The women
pack all their belongings about with
them in this case
Mexican baskets with their brilliant
yellows, reds and green's are very gay
and extremely durable.
The grass is twisted very tightly and
closely, and the f1ber is too tough to
break easily. 1t Is really the most or
namentai and taking of all the baskets
one finds now and makes the most at
tractive of receptacles for sweets or
gifts of any kind.
