appears at present as though we were

DIRECTIONS FOR SPRAYING.

Suggestions For Getting Best Results
Offered by Wisconsin Authority.
To spray home orchards and get the
best results the following suggestions
are offered by the horticultural depart
ment of the agricultural experiment
station of the University Of Wisconsin,:
Fungous diseases and insects usually
work upon trees at the same time:
therefore use spray of bordeaux mix
ture to which some arsenical poison
has been added. Ten ounces Of Paris
green or three pounds of arsenate Of
lead added to fifty gallons Of bordeaux
mixture will control the codling moth
or apple worm and apple scab.
Nest fruit growers will find it more
advisable to purchase arsenicals in the
prepared form than to mix them ut
home. which involves much labor and
care. Bordeaux mixture. which Is
used for spraying to prevent fungous

FELT SORRY FOR HIS MULE.
But That Was Before the Grizzly Made
His Attack,

His Attack.
In a trip over the Sierra Nevadas q
Californian took with him not only bis
favorite horse, but mule named Billy
Billy was large iron gray mule Of the
pack variety and had more than once
made the trip.
On the second day in the mountains
the owner tethered Billy to tree, al.
lowing him about twenty feet range
where there was good feed, and then
took seat on a fallen tree not fal
away to eat his own lunch. He had
finished his meal and was half doing
when suddenly the mule reared and
snorted loudly. His owner sprang to
his feet and looked about.
Not ten feet of stood huge grizzly
bear, evidently with designs on the
owner Of the mule. That individual
rushed for the nearest tree and made
good time in climbing it. He was safe
for the nonce, but how about Billy ?
how could the tethered mule defend
himself
To his owners surprise Billy dropped
his head after moment and resumed
feeding AZ If oblivious of the grizzly g
proximity. Az for the bear, he stood
still for several minutes, his eyes wan
dering from the man in the tree to
Billy. The mules composed demeanor
evidently puzzled him.
BY and by the grizzly started to make
4 circuit Of the tree to which the mule
was tethered. Billy continued to nib
bic grass, but kept an eye on the enc
my's movements. The bear emitted a
series Of deep growls. then opened his
great mouth and disclosed two rows Of
ugly teeth.
Slowly the great creature advanced
upon the mule. Bully stlll continued
to Craze, his back toward the bear.
Nearer came the grizzly and still near
er. The mule stopped feeding. From
bis perch the Californian watched the
scene with breathless interest. He felt
sorry for his mule.
Finally the bear stopped, rose on bis
hind quarters and prepared to strike.
At that moment To mule, at whose
stupidity bis owner had wondered,
sprang forward. and the griIzly's paws
struck empty air.
Then the man In the tree saw a gray
form double itself into a ball and
bound upward. It was the mules
turn. Out of that ball flew two iron
shod boots. which shot back and forth
with the regularity Of piston rods. with
. thump. thump, thump. against the
body Of the grizzly. which was com.
pletely OF its guard.
He was hit all over-on his head, on
bis shoulder, on his side. on his back
BY those pile driving hind feet. He
fell in one direction. then In another,
seeming utterly incapable Of getting
away. and when Billy stopped kicking
the breath Of life was gone from the
bears body.
The mule had not hair harmed.
apparently. and after resting a bit re-
turned quietly to his feeding.-Chicago

MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS.
DO THEY MEAN ANNEXATION?

Grand Forks Times: The riddle OF
the hour is the Democratic attitude on
reciprocity President Taft's message
and the reintroduction of the ratltica-
ton bill exactly as passed by the house
in February, by grace of Democratic
support, show that its Republican
sponsors stand pat; that nothing has
occurred in the interim to make
changes in the agreement with Canada
desirable The Democrats themselves
do not claim that the situation is any
different. They swallowed reciprocity
without a grimace. and made strong
bid for more-anncxation: Champ
Clark boldly proclaimed the doctrine
OF taking Canada in. bag and baggage,
and his electrified following voted
their approval nightly.
Are they not still unit for annex
alton: And, seeing that they have
not made any avowal of change Of
heart, it is not fair to assume that
they feel unconcerncd today only be-
cause the reciprocity bill does not 60
far enough? Taking Speaker Clark's
declaration Of Democratic policy seri-
ously, we feel persuaded that there is
to be no revision downward of the
opinions they held in the last con-
gress. Rather, the progressive
schedule is to be raised. forward,
Christian Soldiers is the watchword
and the inspiration.
Accordingly, every logical road
leads to the one conclusion that there
is a surprise in store for the people
who are saying that the speakers
failure to mention reciprocity in his
speech means that the entering wedge
of the new tariff is to be given the
go-by The speaker did not espouse
annexation on the spur Of the mo-
ment. as was thought at the time. The
Canadian press is today filled with
excerpts from congressional docu-
ments. which prove that years ago he
said that our tariff negotiations had
all along pointed to annexation.
Therefore, is it not a good guess that
when the Mccall bill is reported out
Of committee it will either propose
going the whole hog or that sub
stitute to that effect will be offered
On the floor? Besides, do not the de-
veloping symptoms of similar eventu'
alities down Mexico way call for a
counter-stroke under Democratic au-
spices on the northern border?
Stranger things have happened than
that the Democratic leadership should
be framing up psychological mo-
ment for a fresh outburst of the mag
netc storm that broke over the capitol
when Champ Clark advocated the ac-
QUESTION of Canada.

run down in the fog by the Italian
steamship Florida. and sank a few
hours after the collision. The New
York Admiralty court held that the
Florida was at fault. There was no
reflection on the seamanship of Capt.
Sealby of the Republic, his ship had
been on her course, and he had taken
all precautions to prevent accident.
Moreover. he had maintained dlscl'
pine in the face of danger, and sue
ceeded in transferring all his passen'
gers to the Florida, where they await
ed the arrival of the Baltic, which had
be summoned by wireless.
Tried to Save His Ship.
Having saved his passengers, Seal
by tried to save his ship. He and his
second officer stayed on board the
Republic when revenue cutters tried
to tow her to port. They left her
only when her bulkheads gave way
and she took the long plunge for bot
tom. A boats crew picked the two
men out of the icy water. Sealby was
saved to make his explanation. The
White Star Line dismissed him, and
that ended his career at sea. He
knew that he could never command
another big vessel. So he stayed
ashore and began the study of admir-
atty law. He is now at the Universe
ty of Michigan.
1t is possible that if the Republic
had carried her passengers to bot
tom. there would have been no explain
alton from Sealby, for there is an un-
written law of the sea that requires
captains to go down with their ships.
if they have been responsible for the
loss of life among passengers. The
commander of La Bourgogne went to
bottom with his ship. Capt. Won Co
essel of the Elbe stood calmly on the
bridge when she sank out of sight;
Griffith of the Mohegan and Luce OF
the Arctic also deliberately sacrificed
their lives in accordance with the un-
written law. Scores of other able men
have done the same thing.
1t does not always follow that cap.
tain's certificate Is suspended indefin-
itely. in some cases he can 60 to sea
again in a year or six months II he
can find a company that will trust him
with ship. One of the chief factors
which prevents steamship company
from giving a captain another CON-
mand after he has lost ship Is the
attitude of the marine insurance COM
panies. At Lloyd's agency in London,
there is detailed record of the car
eer of every British ship captain. The
story of his years at sea Is written
down in black and white for the bene-
fit of the underwriters. The men who
insure ships look askance at shippers
who have caused them losses, hence
it is difficult for an unfortunate skip
per to find decent birth.
Fortunately, however, there are
berths ashore for able nautical men.
Small steamship companies are some
times glad to engage the services of
men who have had nard luck at sea.
They make good port captains and
marine superintendent, for they
know how to handle ships and keep
them we'll equipped; and in many
ports these men are to be found. Each
has a tragedy in his life, but he tries
to forget it.
