Mrs. Burgan the Leading Spirit,


On May IA the temperance people

men and women and boys and girls,
will be of gigantic proportions, and
Mrs. I. r. Burgan, a former resident

the movement, in fact she is chairman
of the committee. While resident oil

1t matters little whether Bob Dunn

One George L. Refs of Duluth,
vice president of the Minnesota Steel
company, an auxiliary of the United
States Steel corporation, has written
a letter to Lieut.. Col. Graham D.
Fitch, United States engineer in
charge Of the Duluth harbor, that has
stirred up a hornets nest at the head
of the lakes. Mr.. Refs gives it as his
opinion that the Improvement of the
channel of the St. Louis river IN the
vicinity of the proposed new steel
plant is unnecessary at present and
intimates that it will be several years
before the plant is completed.
Probably Mr.. Refs knows what he is
talking about, and if he does the Du-
luth people have good reason for
feeling sore and disappointed, for
they confidently believed the steel
plant would be pushed to an early
completion. Then, again, Mr.. Refs

Stephen ID, Birch,

A few years ago when the Gates
brothers, Fred Mcclellan and others
from Princeton were out in Alaska
and discovered the Bonanza copper
mine, Stephen D. Birch, bright and
nervy New York civil engineer was
with them and shared their hardships.
It was through Mr.. Birch that the
sale of the Bonanza mine to New
York syndicate was consummated in
1901. JUST at present Mr.. Birch is
figuring quite prominently in the
Ballinger investigation by con-
gressional committee of which Senator
Nelson of this state is chairman. Mr..
Birch is the active representative of
the Guggenheim interests in Alaska
and is in the millionaire class. The
foundation of his prosperity was the
Bonanza copper mine discovered by
the Mcclellan party. That copper
property is worth many millions of
dollars, but it requires millions to de-
velop it and get the ore to the sea
board

ALUM WATER A GOOD HEALER
Useful in Cases Where It Is Desired
to Toushen or Quickly Harden
the Skin.

Whether your foot or your tongue
is tender there are few remedies equal
to weak alum water. Alum hardens
the cuticle quickly. and so makes an
excellent foot bath, especially for
summer, when the feet are inclined to
burning and are sensitive.
When using 1t for sore tongue.
make weak solution and do not
swallow It. 1t can be used in strong.
er proportions on the outside OF lips
for fever blisters.
Strong alum water is said quickly
to allay the burning Of frost-bitten
feet, and is employed effectively for
nervous twitching, which Is aggra-
waited by hot weather.
DO not use alum water for dys-
pepsia, as is sometimes advocated.
1t is injurious when used internally.

and Hodgkiss reached similar results
with his tests on eggs In various spe-
cies of aphids In New York.
Tests were made with kerosene
emulsion in different dilutiUns late in
June to determine the proper strength
to use. The emulsion standard was
prepared after the formula printed on
the spray calendar and is as follows:
Kerosene Emulsion.-Twc gallons
kerosene, one-haf pound common soap,
one gallon water. Dissolve the soap
in hot water, add the kerosene, and
churn together until white creamy
mass is formed which thickens on cool.
ing.
Into the diluted emulsion were
dipped typical infested branches. Four
teen trees scattered throughout the or
chard were included in this test and
both trees and their dipped branches
were marked.
The dilute emulsion killed the aphids
quickly when brought into direct con.
tact with them. This could be done
by dipping the branches. but would not
be accomplished SO successfully By
spraying on account of the curled
leaves.

has given place to the self-dump silky
steel hayrake. This machine can be
operated by ten-year-old boy, who
can do more and better work than
could man using the old method.
The haytedder enables the farmer to
cure his hay quickly and greatly i'm
proves the quality of the hay. BY
means of the hay loader timothy. clo-
yer or alfalfa can be taken direct from
the swath and loaded on the wagon.
With the modern sweep rake the hay
can be taken direct from the swath or
cock and put into the stack with the
hay stacker. The derrick hay fork is
also used quite extensively. especially
when the hay is to be put away in the

hatch about the middle Of April just as
the green leaves begin to show at the
end of the buds. On April 18th In an
orchard at Meriden. the aphids were
Matched and the buds had opened just
enough to show the green tissue.
Many newly-hatched aphids could be
seen on the opening buds, though many
eggs were still unmatched.
These aphids were abundant through
blossoming time and were thick on
the young fruit. During the latter

seems not to have been well estab-

The green apple aphis was described
briefly and figured in the report of this
station in 1903. 1t attacks the ter
minal shoots and tender leaves, caus-
Ing the leaves to curl. 1t affects the
tree chiefly by restricting the growth

upon old trees. All stages are bright
