If you were to sit down and lay
out a welI-def1ned plan of action for
each days work, with the ultimate
goal of success before you, what
would you include in it? You would
have a course of education in the
plan would you not? And then you
would specify that certain hours
should be given to 1t each day. II
your goal was to be a first class busi-
ness man you would try to hit the
bulls eye by taking a thorough
course In business training.
If you are a young lady wishing

Initiative Law is Immune.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Only Con.
gress, and not the Supreme Court of
the United States, may object to the
initiative and referendum method of
Legislation in the states, so the court
itself decided today.
That tribunal held that the question
Of whether state still, maintained a
Republican form of government guar
anteed by the Federal Constitution
after it adopted the initiative and
referendum method was a political
problem for Congress and not ju-
dicial one for the courts.
The decision was based on the
claim of the Pacific States Telephone
and Telegraph Company that tax
upon it, imposed by the initiative and
referendum method in Oregon, was
unconstitutional. The initiative and
referendum provisions in Missouri,
California, Arkansas, Colorado, South
Dakota, Utah, Montana, Oklahoma,
Maine and Arizona hung in the bal
ance. An adverse decision would
have affected proposed legislation of
that character in many other states.
Chief Justice White announced the
decision of the court. None of the
justices dissented. The court also
gave similar decision in reference
to an ordinance in Portland, Oregon,
for the construction of bridge.

SPRAYING APPLE TREES
SIMPLE DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING
THE BORDEAUX MIXTURE.
BY Dr.. J. c. Written, Professor Of
Horticulture, University
Of Missouri.

Apple trees should be sprayed with
the Bordeaux Mixture just before the
buds burst in spring; just before the
flowers open; as soon as the blossoms
are gone; and twice at intervals OF
ten to fourteen days subsequently
This will do away with most OF the
scab and skin blotch and other fun.
gous diseases.
The Bordeaux Mixture is made by
combining four pounds of lime and
four pounds of copper sulphate with
fifty gallons of water. The lime should
be first slaked and mixed with rs gal
Ions of water. The copper sulphate
should be dissolved by suspending it
in sack so that it just touches tub
of water. The four pounds of copper
sulphate should be mixed with 25 gal
Ions of water and then poured into
25 gallons of lime water. This mix
ture should be strained through ex-
strainer, SO that it will not clog the
nozzle, and it will then be ready for
use.
To simplify the work, the copper
sulphate may be dissolved (say one
pound to each gallon of water) and
four gallons Of this solution may be
used for each fifty gallons of the Bor-
deaux Mixture. The lime also may
be slaked in large quantities and the
equivalent of four pounds of dry lime
used in each fifty gallons. The lime
water and copper sulphate solution
should not be put together unutil they
are to be used. It should also be re-
membered that they should not be
mixed too strong, but that half the
water should be added to each before
mixing
For canker worm, codling moth,
and other biting insects, Paris Green
or London Purple are effective.
These or some equivalent arsenical
poison may be added at the rate of
five ounces to each fifty gallons OF
Bordeaux at the time these insects
appear. For borers. the trunks of the
trees may be wrapped with papers,
corn stalks, mosquito netting, or
wooden veneer wrapper. These wrap
pers also keep off rabbits and pro.
tect the trunks from sunscald 1t is
fair to state that some growers have
reported injurious effects from the
use of wooden wrappers, We have
used them for years Oh some of the
trees of the Station orchard, and have
seen them used in many of the largest
orchards of the state, and have OBJ
served no injurious effects from their
use provided they were kept loose on
the trees so that they would not pre-
vent proper growth.

MOVABLE POULTRY HOUSES
H. L. kempster, Professor Of Poultry
Husbandry, University Of Missouri.

One of the chief reasons assigned
for the failure of so many farms de-
voted entirely to poultry raising is
that the space is usually small and
the ground becomes infected after a
few years, to the detriment of the
health of the chickens.
The ideal place for chickens is in
an orchard or a corn field. To be
healthy in summer, chickens should
have plenty of space to forage green
stuff from. In corn field they will
eat large numbers of bugs and worms.
II alfalfa is grown on the place, no
better place can be found than near
a field of it, for chickens are fond Of
green alfalfa. Alfalfa hay chaffed- up
also makes a good feed for winter.
All of the best plans of handling
poultry require that they be housed
so that the young broods, at least,
may be moved about the farm. The
colony houses in use at the Missouri
College of Agriculture are built on
skids and will be arranged so that
they may be set on wheels. to move
to any desired place on the farm.
This will decrease the chances Of dis
ease and make stronger chicks that
will grow into better layers than II
they were confined in small lots.
