Bio Hearted Goldsmith.

Mills, a fellow collegian of Gold
smiths, called one morning to offer
Oliver a breakfast, when he was ad-
jured in answer to his knock and in a
smothered voice to force open the door
and enter. When Mills and others
had at last forced the bolted door
they found Goldsmith so entangled in
the ticking of his bed that he could
not extricata himself without help. He
explained that as the night before had
been piercing cold he had given poor
perishing woman with five children
all his bedclothes. What could he do?
He had nothing else, not penny, to
give her. 1T was cold night, too." he
added, ''for I couldn't at first sleep till

to lie in the ticking. "-"Oliver Gold

Now Is the Time to Spray for Black
Spot Canker

Apples having this disease have been
examined this week at the State Ex-
pertinent Statement and found to be
distributing spores. Spores are also
distributed at this season from the can
kers on the limbs and trunks of diseased
trees. These spores are carried by in
sects, water drops and wind to other
parts Of the same tree and to neigh
boring trees. Many of them will de-
velop new cankers. To prevent this
spread of the disease, affected orchards
should be sprayed as soon as possible
after the apples are picked. The spray
solution used may be either Sulphur
Lime (specific gravity 1.02), or double
strength Bordeaux, as preferred. AS
soon as the leaves fall another spraying
should be given. The spraying should
be supplemented by a systematic de-
struction of all disease-spotted apples.
Much Of the infection of stored apples
is brought about by mixing diseased
apples with the good fruit during the
picking and storing Observations re-
Gently made by experiment station men
at Chehalis indicate that flies may be
instrumental in spreading the disease.
Under number of trees were decaying
wlndfalls, many of which showed the
characteristic Black Spot rot. During
the sunny part of the day flies and other
insects were continually flying to these
these apples and later flying off into
trees. If the windfalls were carefully
gathered and destroyed, this source of
infection would be eliminated.
1t is comparatively easy to distinguish
the Black Spot from the Fruit SPOT.
which is also common in the orchards of
the state. The Black Spot rot has a
small point or opening in the center.
Ii the spot is small this will be sur
rounded by narrow border of. light
brown. If the spot is larger, concen-
trio rings of light brown will surround
the point and the spot will be darker
brown around the edge, which is rather
sharply definep. The spot also seems
flat and shallow as compared with the
Fruit Spot infection. Spots which are
producing spores are usually one-fourth
inch to one-half inch in diameter.

ODD JOBS ABOUT THE FARM
Some Practical Hints as to How Farm
err Can Use Time to
Advantage.
BY wRoE COMPTON,.

Now is the time to plan the seasons
work After next month your brain
will be kept fully occupied working
out your plans.
Does the seeder need repair and do
the plows need sharpening? The
blacksmith has plenty of time now to
do the job, and you will need the time
that will be wasted if you wait until
the teams should be in the field in the
spring.
Few farmers are so foolish as to bet
their money on prize fight. Yet
many seem willing to stake their prof
its on the growth of seed corn whose
outcome is more uncertain. Use the
tester and you are betting on a rea-
sonably sure thing.
The satisfied grunt of an overfat
sow is not the prelude to chorus of
lusty pig squeals. Plenty of exercise
following the cattle and less corn with
more protein foods, such as oats,
shorts, or skim milk, will Keep the SOW
in good condition for narrowing.
Climbing over high sill into the
hog house may be good exercise for
the SOW, but is likely to cause dead
pigs.
Have good, dry, warm quarters
ready for the little pigs when they
arrive. A good healthy start is great
help in the race for greatest profits in
pork production.

On the Best Iowa Farms.

The results achieved on the best
Iowa farms show what can be done
anywhere in Iowa by good farming.
The tendency of the times is to do
intensive work, to get the most out
of every acre, to utilize all resources
and waste nothing. Some remark
able results follow the close applica-
ton of the best principles.
There is to be awarded at the State
Fair, Des Moines, the last week of
August, liberal cash prizes for the
best farm results. The competition
is in two classes-for farms over so
acres and for farms of less size.
1t will repay any farmer to make a
study of these exhibits and results
and find out what the best farmers
have done to make their farms pay.
The individual farm crops exhibits at
the State Fair are an inspiration to
thousands of Iowa farmers and lead
them on to better things.

Wright Brothers, Americans.

1t is matter of pride to all Amer
leans that the greatest of the worlds
are Americans. The Wright
brothers at one time lived in Iowa.
They are today the unchallenged in
tentors of the modern type of aero
plane with flexible wings. This ma
chine was developed in America and
the principles first demonstrated by
the Wright brothers to be correct are
now adopted in France and else
where. The Wrights have shown that
flying is not only possible, but it is
practicable. Within the past wear
they have been quietly perfecting
their machines until today they have
the most successful aeroplanes in the
world. They are coming back to
Iowa in August and at the State Fair
will give daily exhibitions of their
ability to navigate the air. 1t will be
the finest sight Iowa people have
ever been permitted to witness.
