that Payton was going to drop one Of
these missiles upon us with the aid Of
the kite, another military device which
at that time had come into use as an
auxiliary in such cases.
If the top OF the rocks had been as
exposed as he naturally concluded it
to be his cunning would have had its
reward and we should have been
blown to bits; or. at the very least,

MILK FEVER CAN BE CURED
Treatment Consists in Filling Each
Quarter of Affected Cows Udder
With Sterile Air.

In spite OF all precautions, if the
COW is an exceptionally heavy mixer,
she may suffer from an attack of milk
fever. This is a disease that attacks
only the best COWS. Formerly, it was
thought best to keep COW in poor
condition and half-starved, so that
when she freshened the milk flow was
so light that there was no danger OF
this disease. However, milk fever no
longer has any terrors for the dairy
man, as there is now very simple
and sure cure for it. The treatment
consists in merely filling each quarter
of the udder with sterile air. In an
emergency the air is often injected bJ
means of a bicycle pump, but this
while Just as effective, is quite apt to
produce a serious infection of the ud'
der, owing to the presence of germs
in the unfiltered air. Special devices
that filter the air through tube con-
tanning absorbant cotton, are now pos
sessed by all veterinarians.
Before giving the air treatment, the
hands, the udder, the teats and the
tube that is to be inserted in the teats,
should be carefully washed in warm
water containing a disinfectant. If the
COW is down, clean towel should be
placed on The floor beneath the udder.
Each quarter should then be thorough
Iy inflated with air, and at the same
time rubbed and massaged to secure
a diffusion of the air to all parts of
the udder. This treatment usually
brings relief in few hours and has
proven effective in ninety-eight out
of every hundred cases.

Apple Affected With Arkansas Blotch.
the skin becomes discolored, and def
mite, sunken, dark spots appear. These
spots are of various sizes and many Of
them may run together, so that event
ually much of the surface of the fruit
may become affected. While the fun.
gus at first does not extend very deep
into the tissue of the apple, decay fol-
lows rapidly after the fruit is ma
tured. The blotch, in the early stages,
causes more of a Disagreement than
does the apple scab.
While the disease has only been
recognized since 1897, it has become
very important in some sections. 1t
is said that in the Ozark Mountains
it is not unusual for 75go of the crop
to be ruined, and in one county alone
it was estimated that the blotch
caused the loss of $950,000.
Fortunately it has been found that
this disease yields to treatment and
the spray recommended for apple
scab, both as to the remedies and the
seasons for spraying, will hold this
disease in check. w. PADDOCK,

MAKE GROUNDS
ATTRACTIVE
Plant Trees and Flowers on a
Carefully Arranged Lawn
INCREASES CIVIC PRIDE
BEAUTY AND VALUE ADDED TO
HOME AND FARM, ALSO GREAT
EDUCATIONAL FACTOR.

In beautifying a home with a gar
den, trees and other plants, there is
not only a greater beauty and value
added to the home and the farm, but
the whole region is beautified. Then,
too, there is the educational factor,
in the way of love for the beautiful,
the knowledge of flowers, etc. 1t also
gives greater love for home and in
creases civic pride.
The manner of beautifying, or lay
ing out gardens. and home grounds,
differs, of course, with the exposure,
the size of the grounds, arrangements
of buildings, and soil conditions and
many other things. Very pleasing ef-
fects can be COTTON in many sections
of the country by planting castor
beans against the porches or houses,
with caladfums, cannas, coleus CIR ger
aniums in front of them, but the best
results are had by planting such
shrubs as lilacs, mock orange, high
bush cranberries, altheas, spireas,
ninebark and vanhouttei against the
house or porch corners, with lower
growing shrubs, such as weigelia,
Japan ounce, California privet, snow
berries, Indian currant, thunbergia,
barberrieS, etc, in front of the high
growing ones, forming a bank of foil
age rising from the lawn up against
the house. These shrubbery effects
are permanent in character and are
almost as interesting when the twigs
are covered with snow as when in
bloom.
Backyard gardens may be made
either ornamental or useful, or both,
by raising vegetables in part of it in
such a way as to harmonic with the
rest of the garden. We have two gen
eral types of ornamental gardens. The
purely naturalstic and the geometric,
or formal and artificial. In the for
NAL gardens such plants as cannas,
stocks, balsams, castor beans, caladi-
ums, salvias, four o'clocks, alyssUms,
etc, may be used with low growing
plants, as borders around individual
masses of the higher growing ones.
These can be arranged in squares, cir
cles, stars and other geometric fig
ures, with heavy grass lawns between
the beds and hedges of evergreens, or
privet, thunbergias, barberries bor-
dering the lawns and walks.
The natural garden requires the
least attention, as almost all plants
used are perennials. The cost the

NEW APPLE DISEASE
.INVADES OHIO
Arkansas BIOtChAffeCtin Trees
in Southern Part of State.
CAN Be CURED BY SPRAYING
SAME TREATMENT RECOMMEND.
ED FOR ScAB WILL SERVE
TO HOLD THIS FUNGUS
IN CHECK.

The owners of small orchards who
have not yet learned the intricacies
of spraying, say there is no longer any
money in growing fruit. One of the
reasons apple production in the State
of Ohio has suffered a decline is be-
cause of the prevalence of number
of different kinds of plant diseases
and insect enemies. Fortunately fruit
growers have risen to the occasion and
are becoming experts in the control of
these troubles. The up-to-date or
chardist will therefore not be alarmed
to hear that another important and
comparatively new apple disease has
invaded our State in the form of what
has commonly been known as the Ar
kansas Blotch. Apple growers in the
southern part of the State have long
been familiar with the small brown
patches or dead tissue which occur
upon apple leaves. 1t seems probable
that the fungus which is responsible
for this trouble may also attack the
twigs and fruit. If not the same fun
gus, it is at least one very closely al
lied, which produces the fruit rot in
question. Apple trees in southern
Ohio, that were well loaded with fruit
last season, had scarcely an apple on
the tree that was free from this
blotch.
At first the spots seem to affect the
surface only where an irregular
shaped, dark-colored blotch is pro-
duced, but later the tissue beueath
