overheard on one occasion my father
say to my mother: There's nothing
more to be got out of him. He'll have
to go" Both he and my mother look

which seemed to indicate that he re-

I noticed, too. that when we were to-

and then at me, seeming to notice
something peculiar about us. l did
not suspect then what I have known

I gave evidence by my appearance Of
coming from respectable stock.
Soon after l heard my father say
there's nothing more to be got out

Japanese Fruit Trees.

Among the many ways of. their own
that the Japanese have for doing
things is their system of pruning and
training fruit trees. The system is
called "tana" and consists in training
the branches overhead on trelliswork
made of bamboo or wire supported on
wooden posts about five and a half feet
high. This offers advantages in gath
ering the fruit and not only serves to
protect the trees against wind and
storm, but is said to increase produc-
ton. Only very light pruning is done,
and that usually in the winter time.
This system is generally adopted for
pears and vines, less often for apples
and plums.

at M. A. c., beginning July 10 and
lasting five days. President ]. L.
Snyder Of the college has sent invita-
lions to pastors all over the state.
The conference will be strictly non
the country minister that he can ma
terially increase his income by going
into poultry raising or dairying, or
some other line, on small scale.
Being trained for intellectual work he
can study various subjects that have
to do with the everyday life of the
farmer, with more thoroughness and
exactness than the average farmer,
until he is SO well informed that he
can advise them, in the same sense
that a college professor who has spe-
cialiZed on some particular subject
can instruct those who have more
practical knowledge Of the same sub
ject. In this way be can be useful
member of farmers clubs, and be a
leader at their meetings, and become
a useful force in the life Of his COM
munity.
One country minister who has more
than made good in this way will at
tend the conference here and talk on
such subjects as Modern Methods in
the Country Church." Difficulties In
Country Life Advancement and How
to Overcome Them" THE Problem Of
Leadership in the Country" 1.-THE Pos
sibilities of Country Community"
and Country Church Finance" He Is
Rev. M. B. McNutt, who is pastor
Of Du Page church, in the Plainfield
district, Illinois. Du Page church
Is IN an open country six miles from
railroad or town, and at the time
Mr.. McNutt took charge was not a
very promising field. Since that time
he has erected a $4,000 church edifice
which serves not only as a church.
but as a social center for the entire
community.
Another country minister who has
also made good and is coming to the

Times" and THE Rural Pastor and

MIehIaan Guard Wages War on Files.

Michigan Guard Wages War on Files.
Lansing.-The Michigan National
Guard, through its sanitary depart
house fly during the annual encamp-
ment in Detroit, at the state range
out Gratiot avenue. The militia is
acting In line with a campaign In
which Detroit health authorities are
interested, and which has been in
augurated by the American Civic asso-
citation, working under DR.. Leland o.
Howard, chief of the United States
bureau of entomology. The house fly
is termed by DR.. Howard as a carrier
of typhoid, consumption and summer
complaint germs.
"A single Misunderstanding house
fly may carry from $50 to 100000
bacteria" says DR.. Howard. These
germs may be, often are, the germs
of typhoid fever, in part. The fly not
only bears away on its legs tiny parti-
Giles from typhoid patients dis
charges-on which 1t gladly feeds,
whenever possible-but it also carries
virulent typhoid bacilli in its digestive
organs.
These germs 1t takes to the food of
other persons, leaving them in quanti-
ties. On every tiny spot of food that
has been touched by fly which has
fed on typhoid discharges, colony Of
bacteria begins to grow with huge
rapidity.
"One single footprint of house fly
was found to have left 100000 fungus
spores. The average number of bac-
terra per fly found by Esten and Ma
son In experiments with Ala flies
which had fed at COW stables, garbage
barrels, pig pens, etc., was 1,250,000.
I'm 1898 Surgeon General DR.. Geo.
M. Sternberg Of the United States
army warned the army gathering for
the Spanish-American war that flies
would carry typhoid in crowded
camps. His warnings were somewhat
neglected. One-fifth of the soldiers
developed typhoid. While water was
partly to blame, the doctors deter
mined that the fly was the chief agent
for this terrible spread Of disease.
"As for the wholesome country,
doctors have shown that practically
all Of the terribly prevalent typhoid
Is borne, not so much by bad water,
but by flies. Flies thus gather germs;
they leave them in milk or butter, for
transportation to crowded cities. They
gather thickly about diaries, markets,
etc. Typhoid germs will live in milk
20 days, while in butter the germs will
live for lao days.

For Exhibition at State Fair.

At meeting of the manufac-
lures committee of the board Of
commerce at Detroit, the principal
subject was a discussion on the advis-
ability of holding an Industrial exhi-
bition in connection with the state
fair, which is to be held this year Sep
TENDER 1927. The committee strongly
favored the idea and during the meet
Ing passed the following resolution:
Resolved, That the manufactures
committee of the Detroit Board OF
Commerce hereby heartily indorses
the proposed industrial exhibit to be
given this year in connection with the
Michigan state fair, and urges upon
Detroit manufacturers the desirability
of supporting such exhibit to the end
that a permanent manufactures build
ing be erected on the state fair
grounds, whereby Detroit manufac-
tured product may be shown annually
to the people of Michigan and sur
rounding cities"
Not only did the committee indorse
the project, but they also agreed to
aid the State Fair association In Sc
curing exhibitors for the show this
fall. Letters will be written by the
committee of forty or fifty Detroit
manufacturers, giving them first OPP
portunity to secure space at the ex-
hibition, which Is rapidly filling up.
The board Of commerce committee
fully appreciates the advertising
value of such an exhibit and is very
anxious to make deep impression on
the state fair management so as to
make it possible to have a building
erected for industrial exhibits annual
ly. This will undoubtedly be done II
the exhibit this fall is a success along
Industrial lines.
