DAVE WILENTz
AGAIN MANAGER
Reelected by High School

Dave Wilentz was reelected man
iager of the Perth Amboy high school

Jag of the athletic association. How
ard Rooms was chosen as the assist
ant and will become manager In
1918.
This Is the first time that anyone
has served two terms as manager OF
any branch Of athletics In the high
school. 1T 10 due to the fact that
Dave WAS elected manager while q

always fell to q senior formerly.

While the high school team has
no we'll known stars In their midst
at present,-there is a little hope
that Johnny Eiunt, tne ssinssins
fielder OF the st. Anthony team, will
return before the baseball season
starts. Several admirers of Joe"
Coley are also trying to get 'sJoe"
to return to school. With Coley and
Hunt back again, there is no doubt
that the team would be very success
ful and would consider entering the
East Jersey high school league
This season will find Lies"
Spencer aud Nathan Goidberger out
for pitching honors. Both showed
up well last q and when they
were at their best, they puzzled
some of the best aggregations In the
state. The infeId seems to be the
only weak spot, although Bones"
Browning, Johnny" Clear and
nathan Goldberger are good candi-
dates. Spencer can also fill an in
field position when not on the firing
line. Therkelsohn and Levy are two
who will In all probability grace the
outfield. These boys are speedy and
are 400 sluggers.

Apples Sprayed and unsprayed.

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 Il doubt the
helpfulness of spraying.
Commercial results from seven
widely separated orchards, includ-
ing both commercial and home types
and composed of the varieties OF APP
pies recognized as standard In Kan
sas, carefully sprayed showed an av-
erage gain of four bushels in actual

Not only was the actual and rela-
tive amount OF merchantable fruit
materially increased, but the average
percentage of number Is and humber

was also increased by Is per cent and
&C per cent, respectively.
The average net profit from spray
ing was shown to be $1.62 per tree.
or 1920 per acre when the fruit was
sold as orchard rum" and to BIO al
most doubled when properly graded
and marketed.
All seriously injurious insects and
fungous diseases have been markedly
reduced and most of them have been
made almost negligible.
Prepared limesulphur plus arsenate
OF lead has produced the best results
on apples subject to Bordeaux injury
and nearly free from apple blotch,
while Bordeaux mixture plus varieties

FROZEN DISHES.

There is no dessert which ever takes
the place Of ices and ice creams during
the hot weather; they are not only re
freshing but nourishing. and are so
universally well liked that one cannot
go amiss to serve them on all occa-
sions.
The plain Philadelphia ice cream
may be used as foundation for any
number of delightful combinations. for
example:
Nougat Ice Cream-Add a half cup
full each of chopped filberts, walnuts
and almonds with a teaspoonful each
of almond and vanilla extract One
can buy the plain cream all frozen In
many places so reasonably, and 1t can
be repacked with any additions Of fruit
OF nuts, making the work very light.
The flavor of peach is given by put
ting two cups of strained peach pulp
and a teaspoonful OF lemon Juice to
plain ice cream.
delicious flavor of almonds is Civ
en- TO ice cream in this manner: Blanch
and chop a cup of almonds, carmeliZe
four tablespoonfuls of sugar and add
the almonds. When cold grind to a
powder, add to the cream with a tea
spoonful of almond extract.
The most delicious of creams is
made by adding two cups of squeezed
end strained raspberries to the cream.
The color is enhanced by the addition
of teaspoon of lemon juice.
A pretty and easy way to make
fancy dessert is raspberry bonnie:
Line a melon mold with raspberry ice
and fill with vanilla ice cream or with
pineapple ice or ice cream. Pack in
Ice and salt and let stand four hours.
Serve with whipped cream or garnish
with fresh berries and leaves.
SuItana Roll.-This Is a great favor

Of liquor. Line one pound baking pow

Is plain cream with the chopped nuts
frozen in it,. Sprinkle with candied
fruit that has stood over night in

cream. Pack as usual. Serve with

ECCENTRIC FARM
WORK THAT PAID
En2Iish Gentleman Used Novel
Method OF Kidding Farm
OF Injurious Potato
Beetle.
CBy ]. II. HAYNES.)

On a neighboring farm lived an Eng
fish gentleman who certainly had
some novel methods of working.
His farm consisted OF some clay
lands. In the center of this farm was
a 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 cultiyator and Gov
cred all the young shoots under.
In a week or SO when they made a
second appearance he did the same
thing. using a larger shovel on the
cultivator. This was done the third
time using a single shovel pillow which
left the rows properly hilled up.
The bugs never got a chance at the
potatoes-get disguised 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 afr 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 1t down In copper evap-
orators to a fair syrup, and with this
syrup he used apples for thickening,
to make apple butter, and 1t was OF q
quality hard to beat.
He supplied large quantities Of II
to the nearby markets and at good
prices. The syrup was Of finest quail
fly and much Of 1t was used.

CARING FOR PIGS
DURING SUMMER
Business Should be Conducted an
Careful and business Like
Way for Ultimate
Success.
(By A. ], LEGG.)

Many farmers think that they can
not afford to feed the pigs literally
during the summer season. The pigs
are allowed to shift for themselves
In many instances and OF course do
not make much growth but one may
see a pretty good profit in feeding at
the present high prices Of both feed
and pork.
The hogs will Just about live on
the pasture they can gather from the
field aud what grain Is given them
goes to growth and any one who has
tried It has found that only a mod
crate ration fed to the shoats on pas
ture will make a good growth through
out the season.
Early spring pigs OF any good breed
can be made to average a pound Of
gain day by the time they are eight
or ten months old and a large part Of
this can be made on pasture.
The pig that is fed enough food to
keep it growing rapidly from the
start to finish is usually the most
profitable porker.
In some sections where there Is suf-
ficient waste crop to fatten the hogs
1t may be profitable to allow the
shoats to shift for themselves.
However, usually the hogs that are
allowed to shift for themselves and
get fat on the waste are easy victims
of cholera and swine plague. There
is a section in the western part Of my
country in West Virginia where the
hogs are allowed the free range Of
the forests and that locality is visited
by cholera every year or two.
There are quite as many hogs that
die from cholera there as ever reach
the pork barrel. Hog raising as a
business must be treated In a business
way and II 1t is conducted without
cost there ia little profit.
