The effectiveness of sprays and

Midsummer pruning heals quickly

Peach trees make good stock for

If you have a poor Seeding pear or

A large orchard poorly planted and
poorly tendad will not produce as good
results as fewer trees well cultivated.
Better ship fruit little green than

Crime to Kiss.

In Russia it is crime for lovers
to kiss in public, and not very long
ago two young men and two young
women were arrested in Odessa for
having been guilty of this offense.
They had all been dining together in
restaurant, and kissed on parting.
They were condemned to short terms
of Imprisonment, and the sentences
were confirmed on appeal. The gen
eral fine in Russia for kiss in the
open street is Is shillings, but in a
tramcar it may cost anything up to
25 shillings.

EnIaroe State Forest Reserve.

A tract of 10000 acres has been &C
Quired by the state for forestry pur-
poses in the counties of Oneida and
Villas in the region of Arbor Vitae and
Silver lakes. The land lies compactly
and was obtained at $3.50 per acre.
It was purchased from the Log, Land
and Lumber company of which Ed
ward Bradley of Milwaukee is pres
ident and b. f. Wilson Of Wausau
secretary. The valuable timber was
cut off it about twenty years ago. It
is considered desirable acquisition.
The state is closing deal with the
H. w. Wright Lumber company Of
Merrill for tract of 10000 acres IN
Villas county. During the year the
state also obtained from the general
government some $50 islands in in
land lakes in the northern part OF the
state. Most of these were rather
small
The state now has about 10000
acres in forest reserves and about 80
900 to 10000 acres for sale for agri-
cultural purposes outside of the re-
serves. This land will be sold at
from SO to $25 per acre.
There are no forest fires in the
northern part Of the state now" said
State Forester e. NJ Griffith, but
should this hot weather continue we
may expect danger. The heavy rains
earlier in the summer in that region
kept the woods comparatively safe,
but the woods dry out quickly in this

STORAGE HOUSE FOR APPLES
Partially Underground and No
Refrigeration Needed.

Where apples are produced on a
large scale it generally pays the
rover to have storage houses Of his
own, for then he is able to hold his
fruit and put it on the market when
ever he pleases. The accompanying
illustration shows the exterior Of a
good structure for such purpose. De-
pending on size and locality where
erected, it will cost from $1,000 to
$4,000. Dimensions about 35 by 40
feet, though it may be built larger or
smaller as desired 1t is two-story--
that is, it has a lower and upper floor,
the former being partly underground.
No ice or artificial refrigeration Of any
kind whatever is used; rather the
temperature is controlled by means of
the windows and the ventilator on top.

A young man who had never testi
fed before was called before the court
as witness in certain case. He
was somewhat clustered over the at
tention that was being paid him, and
mumbled his words SO that the young
woman stenographer could not hear
them distinctly He was told to speak
plainly and to turn toward the stenog
rapher.
Speak to the stenographer," said
the prosecutor.
At that the young man arose and
with deep bow to the lady said
How do you do?"-Satire.

Treats Grain Diseases.

FedtS Grain Diseases.
The college Of agriculture of the
University of Wisconsin in it's exhibit
this year attempts to educate the
farmers concerning diseases that at
lack crops and stock, and how to over
come such diseases.
In the agronomy department the
college shows the different expert
ments attempted by the college dur
ing the year.
The all important department for
the visiting farmers, however, is the
display of plant pathology. In this
exhibit are shown the six different
diseases of barley and the smut Of
oats, together with practical demon
stration of the formalin seed and the
hot water treatment of the seeds,
whereby dangers of disease are elimi-
mated.
Great stress is laid on the leaf
stripe blight, which is becoming more
prevalent throughout the country.
This dread disease in the crops can
be controlled, it is explained, by mere
ly sprinkling the seed with the forma-
lin solution, or the hot water solu-
ton. until it Is moist Then the seed
is covered with canvas for two hours
and spread out to dry. 1t is then
ready to SOW. By this simple treat
ment of the seed, 1t is shown, the
yield of the land is greatly increased.

Insecticide for Summer.

Arsenate of lead is the leading in.
secticide for summer use. The for
mula is as follows: Eight pounds of
arsenate of lead; fifty gallons water,
or Bordeaux mixture. Arsenate of
lead is in the form of thick white
paste, which dissolves readily in wa

long time and does not burn the
leaves. For cooling moth (apple
forms) and plum curculio, also for
canker worm, tent caterpillar and all

Peic Hunters Are Busy in Wisconsin.
The surveys of the Wisconsin Arch
Biological society are being pushed in
various sections of the state with ex-
cellent results. In addition to those
regularly engaged in this work, many
students and persons interested in
the regions entered are assisting the
society's field parties.
In northwest Wisconsin especially
the survey has done much to create a
popular interest in the preservation
Of the state Indian monuments and
sites. At Rice Lake and Chetek the
work of the relic hunters has been of
an especially destructive character in
the past. Many remarkably fine
mounds of great educational and
scenic value have been wrecked and
mutilated At Chetek dozens of
mounds have been needlessly ruined

Apple STORAGE House.

Inside the house is boarded with
matched lumber on the studs and
closely sealed on top of this, in add.
ton to which the ceiling is heavily
painted. The outside is covered, first,
with sheathing Of inch lumber, fol.
lowed by a layer Of building paper
and the whole then covered with nov
city siding. This, of course, seems
like putting great deal of material
into the walls, but it is the only way
to make them impregnable to heat and
cold, thus insuring the safe keeping
Of the fruit stored within.

CORN COB ROT.

The corn cob rot is a fungous dis
ease which Is spreading very rapidly
over several states and has gained a
strong hold in several sections Of West
Virginia The disease works on the
cob, causing it to fall apart into sew
eral divisions when little pressure Is
exerted on the ear. AS all fungous
diseases 1t is easily and rapidly
spread, and great precautions should
be taken to avert it. The spores OF
this fungous disease survive in the
soil over winter, and corn planted in
the same field another year may be
affected by the disease. 1t may be car
ried to other fields by planting corn
which came from a section where the
disease was prevalent. would ad-
wise farmers of this state to avoid
planting corn on fields where the dis
ease was present last year. and also
not to send away for seed corn which
by chance might have come from q
field where the disease existed.
1t is absolutely necessary that strict
precautions be taken to check the
spread of this disease. which is. con-
sidered to be serious menace to the
corn crop. !. S. COOK. JR.,

University.
