So little was known about the Irish
rugby team this year that most critics
expected England to win at Dublin. The
visitors, however, failed TO show the

Wales, and though perhaps the defeat

form of England proved disappointing.
During the match Lloyd. one of the
Irish halves, is said TO have put his

again on the spot and went on play

it apparent that Wales will have no

BEST WAX
 FOR GRATING
Recipe Given for Making Mixture That Is Essential in All Orchards - Convenient
 Sizes Made.

Resin four parts (ounces or pounds); beeswax. two pounds; tai low, one part; melted, slowly, in an iron vessel, putting in the rosin five or ten minutes before the beeswax; and all completely mixed together by much stirring.
 In 20 minutes or so 1t will be thor oughly mixed. and a convenient DOT ton is to be poured into bucket of cold water. In a minute or less 1t will be cool enough to take up with the hands (which must have been greased with tallow) and pulled like taffy. When 1t becomes light yellow in color it is done and can be made into sticks or balls and put into an other vessel of cold water to harden.
 Other portions can be treated in the same way until all is used up. These balls, or sticks, of convenient size can be laid away until required for use.

DON'T MIsTREAT BRooDY HEN
Many People Overlook Fact That It Is Nature of Bird and Not Her
 Desire to Be Contrary.
Rv WAITER B. LUETZ)

Many people resent the attempt of Biddy to set. Seemingly overlooking the fact that it is the nature of the bird and not her wilful desire to do something her owner does not want done. A hen cannot help becoming broody any more than man can help being hungry without eating.
 It is useless cruelty to douse a broody hen in cold water or place her in a coop with a floor made of slats through which she is constantly falling, or to confine her in a close. dark coop. None of these things are necessary. Of course,i if 1t is not de sfrable to have the hen set at a cer- tain time she must be carried over the period when nature drives her to 1t, but as a good sitter is always valu- able to the breeder she should be treated with kindness.
 A good way to discourage a broody hen is to place her with others in a not too roomy coop with a slated front where she can see the other chickens scratching and running about She should be fed sparingly because at this time her appetite is greatly reduced. If she Is fed once a day it will be sufficient but her feed should increase to keep pace with her appetite.
 Of course no two hens are exactly alike, nor can specific treatment be accorded to each individual. This be- ing the case, 1t would be good sense to treat all alike and with uniform kindness, keeping in mind always her valuable qualities and her good con- dition when she is wanted to rear g family.

Up to the Farmer.

When a farmer breeds indifferent cattle, horses or sheep he receives less for his labor and feed than he should receive, adds less to the wealth of his state than the up-to-date farm CT, and is at disadvantage when he undertakes to secure for himself and family the things which help to make life worth living. says writer in an exchange. I do not mean to say that the individual farmer owes more to the community or to the state than the laborer. the lawyer, the doctor, the educator, the preacher or the business man; but we do expect more from them as a whole, because there are more of them than all these others combined

SPRAYING PREVENTS DISEASE
 AND DESTROYS INSECTS
Established Intelligent of Spray Always
 Pays-FornuIa
 Safe

Two classes of enemies attack fruit trees and plants, viz: insects and fun gous diseases. The application of sub stances, usually liquid. to the tree or plant for the purpose of preventing or destroying these constitutes spray ing.
 We spray to destroy insects and to prevent fungous diseases. Spraying Is no longer an experiment. It Is an established fact that intelligent and persistent spraying always pays. The effects of spraying are cumulative. The effects of spraying last year and this year may result in an increased yield next year. An instructive bulle- tin issued by the Wisconsin Horti- cultural society, has the following to say regarding spraying: The insects affecting fruit may be divided for con- venience into two classes, which are distinguished by their mode of feed ing, viz: eating or chewing insects and sucking insects.
 Eating insects consume the affected tissues, commonly the leaves, and thereby hinder the functions of the plant. The common example is the potato "bug" or beetle. Insects of this class are destroyed by poisoning their food. Sucking insects do not consume the external tissues of the plant, but feed only on the sap. In order to accomplish this the insect thrusts its proboscis through the ex- .ternal coverings and sucks the juices in the same way as a mosquito sucks blood. As these insects do not con- sume the tissue of the leaf or branch, poisons are of no avail. We must therefore attack the insects. This is done by covering them with some sub stance which will penetrate their bodies, or with substance which closes their breathing pores. To repeat:
 (1)- Biting or chewing insects are destroyed by placing poison on the parts on which the insects feed.
 (2) Sucking insects are destroyed only by attacking the insects and for this class poisons are of no avail.
 Apple scab, brown rot of plums and peaches. potato rot, blight, rust and other destructive plant diseases are commonly ascribed to weather con- ditions. Indirectly this is often true. but neither rain nor drought nor any other atmospheric condition is ever directly the cause of plant diseases.
 Rainy weather does not directly cause plum rot, but provides condi- tions favorable to the development of the fungus, and probably unfavorable conditions for the development of the plum and its ability to resist the in- vasion of the disease.
 Fungi (plant diseases) are propa- gated by spores. minute bodies which

Ereak LabeIs for Women.

Extremists in fashionable whims are trying to introduce here the fad of wearing the name on the gown not hidden in the lining, but in plain sight. The frankness, however. is to be concealed in a way, for the name will be readable only to those who know where to look. If a woman's name is Lucy she may wear a jewel ed L at her throat, U at the yoke line, a little lower and Y at the belt. Those who have adopted the idea take advantage of the initial jewelry that is on sale in the modish shops A woman can buy letters of many different kinds, each, however, a form of jewelry, and decorate her self with her full name. One society leader whose name Is Rose has an R on her brooch, an o on the pendant. an s on the bracelet and an B on ring. Others spell their names on their hats, but in letters so small and so far apart that they are not evident to casual glance.

AIR BATHS ARE THE LATEST
Positively Recommended as Magic Preventive for Avoiding Winter
 Colds and Other He.

Air baths are the latest prescrip- ton for the seeker after health. These are positively recommended as a magic preventive for avoiding winter colds. At first they may seem too diff ficult of accomplishment, but If one will only try one will see how aston ishing the results are.
 And the beauty of this magic air bath Is that 1t Is simplicity itself There is no cumbersome apparatus, no tiresome visits of the masseur, no pounding and punching of an inoffen- siVe body. One merely has to lie still and allow gentle breezes to blow upon the body.
 If it is begun in time 1t will enable one to defy the winter cough and cold, bronchitis and neuralgia. One need only expose the skin, so the en- thusiasts say, to the air for 15 to 20 minutes, half-hour or an hour, night and morning, to annihilate the horrid cold germs which are everywhere, ready to seize upon any one who gets chill, and so lays herself open to at- tack.
 Hence the danger of draughts and wet feet. Our usual habits give the skin no opportunity of hardening it. self It is treated like a hothouse plant We cover 1t every moment.
 If one would indulge in the bene- flent air bath one must spend 20 min utes before retiring without ones clothing. These measures alone con stitute an effective air bath, and will lessen the sensibility of the skin and liability to cold in few days time.
 A more elaborate way for taking the air bath is recommended by a noted physician. Select the sunniest room ih the house. If the window is overlooked by neighboring houses place a low screen before 1t. Then undress, wrap yourself in sheet and blanket and lie on the floor in the sunshine.
 After a time, as one grows warm, unwrap the blanket, then the sheet and remain lying in the sun so long as it feels comfortable. But at the first feeling of discomfort or the slightest twinge of headache stop the sun bath. Then rub yourself down with a towel, or in the case of healthy person finish with cold wa ter bath.
 If any one wishes it a very thin robe may be worn, and the feet may always be protected by slippers.

From the swIss Census.

The census of Switzerland, which was taken on December l last, fur nishes interesting information on many subjects. Thus on the question of the languages which are spoken in the republic, German heads the list with 2,599,1 persons speaking it; French comes next with 796,220: Italian, with 301, ,S2S, and Romanche, with S9, ,912. All four languages are official" and may be employed by deputies in the Swiss parliament. On the western frontier French is gradually busting German, while Italian is gaining over German in parts of the Canton of Valais, espe- cially at Brieg.
 There are 565, ,025 strangers in the land, of whom at least 23,000, as far as can be judged, live in hotels the great CT part of the year. In the census of 1900 the number of strangers was 1884, 424 Lausanne boasts the largest sin gle family, numbering 22 including the parents. In the village of Walchwil, Canton of zug, with population of 1,044, 508 villagers possess the name of Hurlimann, and as many of their Christian names are the same, comic opera situations frequently happen Five women and two men have been requested to reconsider" their ages.

Making Bordeaux Mixture.

Bordeaux mixture. In fact, in all orchard spraying operations 1t has come to be a common practice to add either Paris green or arsenate of lead to Bordeaux at every application. By this means biting insects and fungi are controlled at a single operation No other fact. is more important than this in spraying.
 Arsenate of lead is a poison for biting insects and is less liable to in. jure foliage than Paris green. It re mains longer in suspension. It ad. heres better to foliage. It may be used for any purpose for which Paris green is employed in liquid sprays. The formula is: Arsenate of lead, 3 to pounds; water, 50 gallons.

He owns to little more than six feet four inches and his bearing is stiffiy military. He wears a spade beard. like that of the late King Leopold of Belgium The courts beard and hair are gray, for he is a man in his sixties.
