First, cultivate the ground. Scab
spores are on the leaves ready to burst
and fly away and float upon the wings
of the wind until they find anchorage
on the new foliage and immediately
begin operations. Clean culture will
destroy these living spores; it will
keep up the moisture content so the
trees can nourish heavy crop.
Second. in early spring, when there
is lull in the storms as there usually
is in late February or March, spray
thoroughly with sulphur-lime solution.
We use Rex because we started out
with this three years ago and we want
uniformity in our experiments. Other
makes of lime-sulphur solution are
probably just as good Spray with one
gallon of the lime sulphur and ten of
water. Spray the trees thoroughly,
having first done the necessary prun-
ing. If there are any old leaves on
the ground, give them a dose. too.
Cultivate as soon as you can get on
the ground.
Third, spray again when the clusters
of flower buds are unfolded and before
individual flower buds bloom, with
one in twenty eight. Do not make it
stronger In our first experiments we
used one in fifteen, as Prof. Cordley
first recommended, and we burnt both
foliage and buds. This spraying pro-
tects the young foliage, but more es-
pecially the peduncle of the flowers or
flower stems. These are easily af-
fected with the scab, and when no fruit
will set on them.
Fourth, spray again with one in
twenty eight when the pears are about
the size of a little marble or large
peas. This spraying is further pro-
lection for the developing foliage and
the young fruit. Where the ground
under the trees is well cultivated these
three sprayings will give you clean
fruit; in fact so clean that you will
have to hunt over a Winter Nelis tree
to find a scabby pear, whereas if you
had given only the spring spray and
had decaying foliage on the ground IN
the grass, you would hunt to find a
pear without scab on it.

To make sure work of it we would
spray again when the fruit is the size
of a walnut You will find this spray
still on the foliage in November, the
sulphur still decomposing and the
fumes killing the spores that happen
to lodge.
All this is just as applicable to APP
pies. Roxbury Russets used to scab
so they cracked and turned black and
hard. These three sprayings kept
them free of scab.
We are very much gratified with our
experiments in this matter. Bordeaux
mixture is very effective, and we used
to get the same results with it, but it
is more difficult to apply. 1t is apt to
russell fruit and burn foliage if it is
not properly made. 1t is hard to work
through the nozzle of the hose, forever
clogging, and it must always be thor
oughly agitated If the lime-sulphur
solution continues to be as effective
as we have found it the past two years
for the prevention of scab, we will
never use Bordeaux again.
We notice, too, that the aphis have
no use for it. The apple trees sprayed
as above were not troubled with aphis
though they were very troublesome
generally the past year.
Fifth Is there any spraying to be
done at this season? Yes, if you have
not already done it.
BLACK Spot" also called "Canker,"
known also as anthrancnose, is a fun
gold trouble like scab. 1t works dur
ing winter and commences with the
rains in November. Fortunately we
have specific remedy - double
strength Bordeaux. On two and three
year-old trees we apply it with an old
brush, and you will be surprised at
the great number of trees you can
wash in a day. We make four strokes
for the trunk and then a few sWishes
among the larger branches. This
should be done in November, but if
then neglected, do it Immediately. 1t

Deals in Pig Iron Last Week.
NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-Contracts for
seventy thousand tons of pig were
placed in the eastern territory last
week, little more than half of which
was for steel making iron, including
Is 900 tons of basic at 1875 delivered,
for shipment over the third quarter OF
the year. The sales were made at
prices indicating a decline of about 20
cents ton.
The foundry contracts aggregated
5000 tons, including 10000 tons for
an electrical company for shipment
over the second half of the year
Southern furnaces took addition or
ders in the central west and south
west. Agricultural implement manu-
facturers and malleable founders in
the west placed contracts for $4,000
tons for various deliveries. 1t is es-
timated that contracts placed last week
in all districts aggregated 125,00o
tons
Railroads placed orders for 5000
cars and $4,000 tons of rails, but
bridge orders were light. Contracts
are pending for 10000 cars. Railroad
equipment shops have put out inquiries
for round lots of plain structural mat
erial, but some of those in the east,
anticipating lower prices are holding
off.
Numerous small contracts have
been placed for fabricated structural
steel calling for 10000 tons. Many
contracts are pending for buildings
and bridges in all parts of the country.

CORONER INVESTIGATES
LoGGER's MYSTERIOUS END

CHEHALIS, Jan. 23.-Coroner c. l..
Sticklin returned last night from Doty,
where he went to investigate the death
Of a logger named P. Gustavison, whose
body was found along the logging road
of the Doty Lumber & Single Com
pany yesterday. The last seen of the
man was at Doty Tuesday afternoon,
when he started for camp, apparently
well and in good humor.
His body was found about a mile
and a half from Doty, where he had
apparently fallen headlong into ditch
face first, where he died. There was no
mark of violence, and his money and
watch were undisturbed.
Gustavison had worked at Doty
about three weeks. He was about 10
years old, and on his person were
found Canadian naturalization papers.
The remains will be held to await word
from a friend at San Francisco before

DICK MILITIA LAW
BECOMES EFFECTIVE

cording to the annual report of Col
Erasmus M. Weaver, chief of the Di
vision of Militia Affairs. Satisfactory
conformity with the Dick Militia law
by today. so as to enable all the
states and territories to share in the
amounts appropriated by congress for
the maintenance of the organized mill
tia, was predicted by Col. Weaver.
The law requires that the organization
Of the militia must be the same as that
of the regular army.
The Division of Militia affairs issued
a circular announcing that the secre-
tary of war had taken a definite
stand in regard to the incomplete regi-
ments under the new law which Is to
go into effect today. The circular
says:
1.-The laws of the state must pro-
vide for a twelve company regiment,
and it is expected that the states will
undertake to maintain such an organ
ization. The secretary will, however,
under the authority given him, author
ize, temporarily, an exception to the
standard organization in cases where
the states find it impracticable at
once to complete and maintain all
twelve companies. 1t will be neces-
sary for the states to make clear in
each case that the laws contemplate
a twelve accompany organization, and
that it list he intention of the states to
maintain such an organization, and to
request thes ecretary, under the dis
erection that rests with him., to author
ize, temporarily, the continuance of
the regiment with fewer than twelve
companies. On the receipt of such
letter it will be submitted to the sec
rotary, and his action will be conveyed
formally tot he military authorities of
the states

insufficient clothing greatly reduces
the vitality and renders the individual
all the more susceptible to disease.
Anaemic women, those whose blood
is thin, who lead sedentary lives, or
those whoh aye just recovered from an
illness, are very sensitive to the atmos
pheric changes, and must necessarily
exercise dissertation in avoiding unwise
exposure With them the processes
of life are slow and languid; the circu
lation sluggish, and heat is therefore
less abundantly generated, hence the
need of ample warm clothing.
very important consideration is
the choice of clothing worn next to
the skin While retaining a certain
amount of heat, it must not interfere
with the functions of the skin-that of
throwing off the effete matter and abb
sorbing the necessary ventilation.
Wool and cotton is the combination
most favored. Atwood is too heating
for some people, therefore a percentage
of cotton is advisable. Others prefer
the rather expensive combination of
wool and silk; still others invariably
choose all-silk, but this class is in the
minority.
There are infinite grades and makes

each woman to choose that which pro-
vides her with the most comfort.

physicians constantly warn us of
the necessity of keeping the blood at

it from becoming chilled.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Today is a
critical date in the history of the Ma
tional Guard of the various states and
territories, as the Dick Militia law now
becomes operative and hereafter no
portion of the money appropriated by
congress for the support of the mill
tia can be paid to any organization
which fails to conform to the stand
ards of the regular army. The Dick
law of 1903, originally prescribed
period of five years for bringing about
the considerable changes necessary to
place the guardhmen in uniformity OF
organization and equipment with the
regular soldier. But as that time
limit approached, it was found that
very few of the states had been able
to conform so an extension was grant
ed until Jan. Fl, 1910. Through Its
system Of inspection of militia organi-
department is in possession of consid-
cradle information regarding the con-.
ditions. The detailed results were
made public in the annual report OF
Colonel F.. M Weaver, chief OF the
division of militia affairs. 1t may be
stated that on the whole the war de-
partment expresses great satisfaction
in the prospect, and the apparent sue

feet are not properly protected from

cases of cold feet may be traced to this
difficulty. A stout sole, supplemented
by one of cork or rubber, preventing
the dampness and wet from penetrat-

Some of the most important nerves

Summed up, the question of clothing

How to Keep Warm

The secret of keeping warm in spite
of the lowered temperature may be
summed up in the adoption of a con-
scientious and persistent regime di-
rected along hygienic lines in accord
ance with Natures demands.
1t is the man and woman who ad
just their way of living to the sea-
sons, who enjoy robust health and
are free from disease. Climatic con-
ditions are not governed by human
itys preference for warm or cold wea-
Their; we must take them in their turn
and be prepared to combat the inpur-
ious effects of each.
Every woman must be law unto
herself, but there are fundamental
mental principles which dominate all
systems regarding the preservation OF
the health These include clothing,
food. exercise, bathing and, not the
least the temperature of our homes.
Warm Clothing Imperative. :.

lieve that clothing keeps us warm

bust constitution to admit of this prac-
tice for a single winter, and many wo-
men have gone to an untimely grave
because of it's adoption.
In many cases the disturbed circu-
lation, the loss of bodily heat--the life
giving vitality, is manifest by the
pinched and drawn appearance of the
skin, which has a blush cast, especial
