Not only was the actual and rela-

materially increased, but the average
percentage Of number Is and number

For the purpose of showing the
farmer and fruit grower how he might
save that part of the apple crop which
is usually sacrificed to insects and
fungi, most excellent experiments
were made during one entire season,
by the Kansas College of Agriculture,
the college men going into the field
and personally carrying on the work
OF spraying. The results of the spray
ing were uniformly good, and the own
ers of the sprayed orchards were well
pleased
The following splendid results of
this work are valuable to farmers and
fruit growers in every other state in
the union as well as Kansas, for
they demonstrate beyond a doubt the
helpfulness of spraying.

TALE OF WINCHESTER BATTLE

August The command | was in was
on its way back from the battle OF
Monocacy Junction, near Frederick,
Md, through Virginia. We crossed
the Shenandoah river near Smokers
Gap, and there got with Mulligan's
brigade and the First New York cav
airy, which was very good company,
writes VIM. c. Eckman of Atlantic
City, N. j., in the National Tribune.
We went around Winchester and
struck the pike at Kernstown on
Saturday.
The command to which l belonged
was a detachment of Coles Rangers,
under Captain Link. He was in the
advance. The First New York cav
airy did picket duty that night. On
Sunday many were cheated out Of
breakfasts. Just at that time that
old familiar call, Boots and saddles" 1"
sounded The rebs had sighted US,
and opened fire on US with three
small guns. We were ordered to
charge. We drove them back, but
we did not get back to our break
fast. That started the fun for the
day. We had a few chargers and
skirmishers with Coles cavalry.
About p m. the enemy came out
of the woods on our left and front,
and it was there that Colonel Multi
gan was killed and left in the hands
of the enemy. He and Captain Link
were leading us and the First New
York cavalry, but the rebs were too
much for US. l did not see any other
command but Mulligan's and Coles
men.
On Wednesday of that week some
of Captain Links men escaped, and
Mrs. Mulligan, under a flag of truce,
went through the lines to Winchester
and brought her husbands body to
Martinsburg. We covered the retreat

ECCENTRIC FARM
WORK THAT PAID
english Gentleman Used Novel
Method of Kidding Farm
Of luxurious Potato :.
Beetle.
(By ]. H. HAYNES.)

10Y d. I1<A
On neighboring farm lived an Eng
lish gentleman who certainly had
some novel methods of working.
His farm consisted of some clay
lands. In the center of this farm was
very rich, black field that had for
merly been a swamp.
The soil was mainly made up Of de-
cayed vegetation, and when drained
was as loose as an ash heap.
In this field he annually grew po-
tatoes and watermelons. When the
Colorado potato bug came around he
headed them off in this way:
He planted the potatoes in drills
and leveled the land smooth When
the potatoes began to come up he ran
along the rows a cultivator and COW
cred all the young shoots under.
In week or so when they made a
second appearance he did the same
thing, using larger shovel on the
cultivator. This was done the third
time using a single shovel plow which
left the rows properly hilled up.
The bugs never got chance at the
potatoes-get disgusted and looked for
other fields to work on.
The covering of the shoots seemed
to help, for when they were left to
the light and air they grew tremen-
dously thrifty.
He raised watermelons and lots Of
them, but not for the usual purpose
they are grown.
He pressed the juice from the mel
ons, boiled it down in copper evap-
orators to a fair syrup, and with this
syrup he used apples for thickening,
to make apple butter, and it was of a
quality hard to beat
He supplied large quantities of it
to the nearby markets and at good
prices. The syrup was of finest quail
ity and much of it was used.

SUBSOILING WITH DYNAMITE

the main objection to the use of dyn-
mite on the farm is the fear Of it,
says the Missouri Valley Farmer. It
is dangerous unless handled right, but
SO is gasoline, a shotgun, or a mule
for that matter. 1t is not exploded
as easily as commonly supposed.
Dropping it on the ground or similar
accidents have no effect on it. The
various manufacturers Of the explo-
sive issue printed instructions on the
use of dynamite in farming based on
tests and experiments.
The illustration shows a piece of
ground before and after being treated
by dynamite.

DAINTlgs FROM THE PAPER BAG.

Because the weather is hot do not
let US neglect the delicacies from the
paper bag. These may be prepared
and put on to the oven rack when the
lower oven is being used for other
things.
Tripe creoIe.-Weigh out pound
of tripe and slice in half inch pieces.
Chop one large onion, slice one green
pepper, add six fresh mushrooms and
two tomatoes, skinned, seeded and
chopped. Add salt and pepper and mix
with the tripe. Add a half cup Of
gravy or broth and put into buttered
bag. Bake forty-five minutes.
Sausage, onions and tomatoes,
cooked twenty minutes in a bag is q
nice luncheon dish.
Calls Brains With Brown Butter
Clean and wash the brain, add salt,
pepper, a tablespoonful of capers and
a few sprigs of parsley. Brown two
tablespoonfuls of butter in a pan and
pour over the mixture. Put into bag
and bake twenty minutes.
Beef Loaf.-Cut six slices Of raw
beef steak very thin, fiatten and sea-
son with salt and pepper. Make a
gtuffing of a small onion, three slices
Of bacon, little parsley and two ta-
blespoonfuls Of ham and beef drippings
all chopped together. Season with
sage or thyme, add few bread crumbs
and roll up and skewer with tooth
picks. Place in a buttered bag, add
two tablespoonful of butter and a
teaspoonful of caramel. Bake thirty
minutes.
Cooking in paper bags which are
made for that purpose appeals to most
women, as the food retains the flavor
and zest which no other method Of
cookery even approaches.
The food once placed in a bag large
enough and with the heat right, no
more looking into the oven is neces-
sary until the time is up. 1t is neces-
sary to get used to the oven in order
tC time the cookery.
Soups are about the only food which
cannot satisfactorily be cooked in a
paper bag. Cabbage is a vegetable
that is not improved by paper bag
cookery.

4 uNcULTlVArED SOIL
1. FULL OF PLANT FOOD

A method of subsoiling that is at
tracing great deal of attention is
dynamite blasting. The claim made
for this practice is that it virtually
changes farm from a 6 or S-inch lay
er Of top soil to a 6-foot layer because
of the food in the lower strata made
available by blowing daylight into
them. The dynamite has three-fold
effect on the soil. 1t not only pull
verizes it, making 1t ideal for root
growth, but it irrigates and drains it
at one and the same operation. The
cost Of 'shooting-up" an acre of
ground, labor and all included, is said
to approximate SIS an acre. So far

HOT WEATHER HINTS.

The secret of keeping cool in hot
weather is not all individuality. Prop
er food, sufficient exercise, sleep and
daily bathing, the avoidance of stimu'
lants and a cheerful mind will insure
one against undue suffering in hot
weather.
Succulent fruits and vegetables, sal
ads and cooling fruit drinks are all 50
refreshing during hot weather. The
body, if given as little foods as possi-
BILE, will have less waste to dispose Of
and there will be greater comfort
Lemonade is one of the best and
most cooling drinks; it thins the blood
and has a tonic effect upon the whole
system.
During the heated term is the time
for the house mother to take a rest
from cooking. Let sandwiches, salads
and fruit with frozen desserts be COM
mon and much labor will be dispensed
with and a corresponding increase in
comfort.
Ginger Punch.-Chop the ginger from
a pint jar of Canton ginger, add a cup
of sugar, a quart of water and boil
twenty minutes; add three-fourths or
cup of orange Juice, a half cup Of
lemon Juice and three tablespoonfuls
of the sirup from the jar. Put into the
punch bowl with quantity of cracked
ice and add pint of apollinaris water
from time to time to give it sparkle.
This amount of punch will serve forty
people.
Musk melons chilled and cut in
halves, the seeds removed and then
filed with ice cream makes delicious
hot weather dessert. Garnish with
roasted almonds or pieces of ginger to
simulate seeds.
Fig Sandwiches.-Chop a few figs
and add water enough to cook smooth.
When a paste is formed add a few
drops of lemon juice and a small
amount of chopped nuts. Spread on
thinly sliced and buttered bread.
When crackers are the only bread at
hand. spread them with cream cheese
and chopped olives well mixed and a
few pecans, also chopped.
Grated maple sugar with chopped
and Drowned walnuts is another good
sandwich filling.

WHITE PIMPLES ON HEAD

Ransom, Ill.-"The trouble started
on our baby when he was only about
two weeks old. Started like little
white pimples, looked like an old scab
Of blood and matter. His whole head
was covered for few months, then it
went to his ear, shoulders, and his
whole body. 1t seemed to come out
thick and sticky on his head, while
on the other parts Of his body 1t was
more like water coming out Of the
skin. He would scratch until the erup-
ton would be all covered with blood
and gradually spread. The least little
stir or rub would cause the sores to
bleed, spread and itch. Never had a
full nights sleep, restless all night.
"The sores we're horrid to look at.
It lasted until he was about two and a
half years old. Then we saw an &C.
zema advertisement in the paper to
use -, but it did no good. Then
we used Cuticura Soap and Cuticura
Ointment. We put the Cuticura Oint-
ment on thick at bed time and put a
tight hood on so he could not scratch
the sores. Then we washed it clean
with Cuticura Soap and warm water
twice day, and he was completely
cured" (Signed) Mrs. E. F. Sulzber-

Lime Sulphur as Spray.

Lime sulphur is being used more
and more by orchardists as summer
spray. 1t is cheaper than the Dor,
deaux mixture, does not clog the noz,
zles like bordeaux, and the liability OF
injury to the fruit from its use is
much less. 1t is the material used
for the control of San Jose scale, blis-
ter mite and leaf curl of peach in
dormant sprays, and when diluted to
summer strength is very effective in
controlling apple scab.
