Culture of Currants.

For varieties the President Wilder
is probably the best liked as 1t clings
to the bushes the longest. The Cher
ry, Fay's Prolific and Perfection are
also very good varieties. The soil for
currants should be very well prepared
and enriched. Practice deep plowing
before planting the currants and then
put them SKA feet. Practice shallow
cultivation and mulch If need be. Put
in a cover crop the first of July such
as buckwheat. This can be cultivated
into the soil in the spring, thus keep
ing up the amount of humus In the
soil. AS one and two year old wood
produces the best crops, care should
be taken to see that no wood is over
two years old. Prune out old wood as
soon as berries are picked out.

placed by thick scabs. Where the
scabs first form, the wool seems to be
more firmly attached to the skin than
before infection, and stands out In
tufts, giving the fleece an uneven
appearance. In time, however, being
deprived of nutrition, the wool loosehs
and drops from the skin; the sheep
loses flesh and presents. on the whole,
a very uncanny appearance; and
eventually, If untreated. dies. Proper
treatment will, however, destroy the
scab mite and renew the growth Of
the wool.
Dipping in reliable dip is the
proper treatment for sheep afflicted
with the scab.
The federal government has done
a great work in reducing the number
of scabby sheep in this country, but In
spite of It's efforts there are plenty OF
them in the United States today, a
condition of affairs not to be won

tic task of stamping out such COM

(By EDWIN s. dOODo

Historically, sheep scab is one OF
the Oldest diseases of sheep, but its
cause was not discovered until about
the middle of the nineteenth century
(l836). when the agent producing the
disease was found to be a very small
mite. This mite is light gray in color
and the female is one-fortieth and the
male one-sixtieth of an inch in length.
In general appearance the mite re-
sembles tiny spider. 1t has four
pairs of legs. the last being very
small, and the third pair having long
thread-like appendages which are
longer in the female than in the male.
The mite crawls very slowly, showing
that Its power of locomotion is weak.
A female will lay from ten to twenty
eggs during her lifetime. These eggs
are so small that they cannot be dis
tinguished with the naked eye. The
period of incubation Is from four to
ten days. depending mainly upon TEN.
perature. Gerlach, a noted authority.
estimates the descendants of a single
female to be 100000 females and
100000 males at the end of 80 DAYS.
He estimates the average number Of
eggs from a single female to be 15,
ten Of which hatch females and five
males. and allows Is days for each
generation.
The first symptom that attracts
ones attention to the affected animal
is its rubbing certain parts of its back,
sides or tail against some object, or
biting at these parts, as the bites of

TO MAKE GOOD CAKE
SOME RULES THAT SIMPLY MUST
BE OBSERVED.
Proper Temperature of Oven One OF
the Most Important PoInts-Dif-
ferent CONNECTIONS Require
Varying Degrees of Heat.

First attention should be given to
the oven, making sure that the fire is
not too hot, and will remain even un.
til the baking is done. Unless you
have control of your fire do not at.
tempt to bake cake.
Loaf cake requires less heat than
thin cakes. II the oven is too hot at
first or is suddenly cooled while the
cake is baking the cake will be heavy.
Loaf cake should bake as long again
as thin cake. Divide the time Of bak.
ing into quarters. The first quarter
should show rising, with the edges
higher than the center; the second a
continued even rising, with a slight
brown tint; the third deeper brown,
and the last shrinking and settling.
If your cake rises and cracks in the
center you are using too much -four
when 1t browns before rising, the oven
is too hot.
How to Put Butter Cake Mixture
Together-Cream the butter with
hand or large spoon, add sugar and
cream again until very light. When
the proportion of butter is small II

sugar. Beat the yolks until light vel.

again. Add flavoring and then lit.

milk again, and SO on until the milk
and -four are all used, and beat Wig.
orously until your mixture is smooth.
Add lastly the beaten whites. Fruit
should be added last, and fruit cake
mixtures should be a little sitter with
-four
Sponge Cake Mixtures-Beat the
yolks until they are light yellow and
creamy and slowly beat in the sugar.
Add fiavoring and liquid and beat
again. Beat the whites until stiff and
fold 1t without beating. Add -four
lastly with as little stirring as pos.
sible, as 1t makes the cake tough. AL.
ways follow these directions and cake

.sTessie" Alderman Quits Baseball I'm
til Summer Months.

Del Alderman threw a bunch of
dark blue matter into the Kaw camp
last night by packing up his doll rags
and beating it back to his wife and
baby and his tombstone business.
Tessie has been down hearted for
several days, but nobody expected him
to go to pieces.
"I'n tell you," he said yesterday,
"Fve got $6,500 tied up in that busi-
ness up there. That amount is out
standing. If 1 had that in, L wouldn't
care about new business.
''I left my wife to take care of
things for me, but her letters are not
encouraging-and then there's my s.
months-old boy. 1 want to see him.
I've no business leaving my home"
That's the line of argument Tessie
was using to induce himself to jump
the Topeka ball club. 1t was the same
which made him long term hold-out.
It was the same which made him an
nounce his retirement last fall and
caused the Sioux City club to sell him.
1t is very probable that Alderman
will come back in June and bring his
wife and baby with him.
81 will not care about the summer
losses there if just get this money in.
Then 1 can play ball with a clear con-
science
Manager Moore was notified by AL
derman of his intention to quit and
the two talked it over. There was only
the best of feeling when Tessie left.
