MOUNT OF OLIVES CHURCH.

Recent excavations at the summit OF the
Mount of Olives have resulted in the dis
covery Of the remains Of a Christian
church dating from about A. d. $50, Ihe
site is thought to be the spot nNed DE
the oldest traditions as the place where
Christ taught his disciples how TO pray.
The floor OF the nave is not yet un-
covered. but that of the transepts Is fuliy
exposed. The floor is Of mosaic and is
neTfectIv preserved. In the chancel there
are two separate floors of different de-
signs one 30 inches higl than the
other. The lower level is tho. ght TO be a
floor Of St Ielena's church. while the
uppcr is believed to be a restoration by
the Crusaders. A haptismai pool was

Then, leaving hit hat and cane on the
table, he strolled leisurely toward the
telephone booths in the fover of the hotel,
turned as II to enter one and then slipped
quietly into the street. There. hailing a
passing cab, he went to his lodgings,
where. getting his belongings together he
paid his bill. re-entered the cab and was
soon 'on board of train which was
bound Paris-ward. The next morning he
crossed the Channel and the first ship that
crossed the Atlantic took him with it.
Usually. however the card game story
ends with quite another conclusion. and the
poor dupe who falls into the trap that his
smooth chance companions lay for him Is
fleeced of all that he has and is left with
rhis purse empty and his cup OF experience
fun
Several of the New York steamship
companies have made IT rule not to take
college men as cattle tenders. They argue
that the men as a rule are not strong
enough to undertake the heavy work re-
Quired and that frequently they get SICK
and have t. he cared for instead of caring
for the interests of the company. They
had rather pay men TO DO the work who
are more able to stand the sea voyage,
with the result that fewer men are leaving
this port for Europe via cattle ships than
has heretofore been the case. In Boston.
Philadelphia and Baltimore cattlemen still
hire college labor because they find II
cheap. but it is likely that those who con-
template a cattle ship trip to Europe next
year will hesitate a bit after hearing OF
some of the experiences through which
their friends have passed.

TO live reasonably near the distributing
lines of some electrid light company which

rate. There are thousands OF country
homes which can well afford electricity for
lighting. cooking and to do the heavy
work about the premises, but are. un-
fortunately, located miles and miles away
from the nearest electric supply lines.
Not until very recently was il possible
for such places TO secure tiny individual
electric plant which would provide con-
slant source Of electricity for small cost
and little attention. Now 1t is quite pos
sible for any one to purchase for a few
hundred dollars an entire private electrical
plant which viii supply all the current one
could possibly use on country place or a
large farm. This plant consists Of com
pact gasoene engine direct connected on
the same shaft with a powerful electric
generator All that is necessary is TO start
up the engine and it will run entirely With
out attention. without noise, constantly
supplying an abundance OF current.
In the beginning these generating sets
were all of large size. but the demand for
small plants has resulted IN a machine Of
one kiowatt capacity, which, freely trans

This set comprises a single-cylinder. YER

MISTAKES IN
HOG FEEDING
Kansas Station Enunerates Six.
teen Errors That Are Quite
Commonly Made In
Swine.

(By J. L. STANTON. Kansas station.)
1t is :, mistake for one inexperi.
enced to undertake the feeding of
hogs unless he expects to make a
study of it and improve upon his mis-.
takes.
1t is mistake for the city farmer
living in town to trust his hogs to
the average hired man. He is not
likely to make success of 1t.
1t is a mistake to try to raise hogs
on an exclusive diet. You ask what
kind of feed to give them? What kind
Of feed can be produced on your farm
in your locality? Give them plenty OF
that in variety. These feeds should
be given in such relation to each
other as to meet the varied needs of
the swine system.
1t is mistake to forget that the
hog is grazing animal.
1t is mistake If the hog is not
fed in a clean place free from dust
and mud. -
1t is a mistake to overfeed or un-
derfeed.

spray to gallons were sprayed on
each tree, which would make about
the same amount of poison as in the
mist spray.
Arsenate of lead has proven su.
perior to Paris green in all the tests
It costs more, but the extra saving oil
fruit will make up the difference in
cost. Both Paris green and arsenate
of lead, when thoroughly applied, will
produce high per cent. of clean
fruit.
Results of careful tests show that
over 80 per cent. of worm-free fruit
is possible on the picked apples by
spraying with arsenate of lead. and
over 9S1a per cent, counting all the
apples that drop during the summer
The mist sprays with Paris green, {
ounces to so gallons, produced as high
as 96A per cent of clean fruit on the
picked apples, and 95 per cent. count
ing the dropped apples.
In using either poison the utmost
care should be taken to- have the
exact amount desired. Either poison
should be thoroughly mixed in little
water before putting in the spray
barrel or tank A good brand OF ar
senate of lead should be used, and
there are many good brands.

(By j. E. BUCK, virginia.)


With the possible exception of the
San Jose scale the codling moth is the
most destructive insect with which
our orchardists have to contend.
These worm pests, which leave the
apples In late summer and fall. hide
and spin cocoons under bark scales
In rubbish about trees, in decayed
places on the tree. and about apple
bins and storage houses. In these
cocoons they pass the winter.
In the spring. as the days begin to
get warm, the worm changes to a
"pupa" inside the cocoon and soon
the pupa changes to moth. which
splits the case and crawls out.
1t seems quite generally true that
the temperature conditions governing
the blooming of apple trees also oc-
casion the appearance of the moths
In the spring. This habit of the moth
furnishes the very best opportunity
Of combating 1t. After the petals fall
from the bloom, for a period of a
week or ten days. the calyx cavity
remains more or less open. and the
young apples more or less upright.
AS 10 per cent. or more of these
first worms enter the young apples at
the calyx, or blossom end" this fur
nishes an excellent opportunity for
filling the calyx cups with poisonous
spray, so that when the young worms
endeavor to eat their way into the
apple they are killed by the poison.
This first application of spray
should be made inside of week after
the petals fall from the bloom
Everything should be gotten in
readiness for this first spraying, for II
is certainly the most important of all
the sprayings. 1t being possible to kill
over 95 per cent. of the worms by one
