Farm Notes.

Glover should be young to make
pigs thrive at top notch.
Judge not hen by her beauty,
but by the way she does her duty.
Trap nests eliminate drones with
accuracy from any flock of hens.
Food plays an important part in
the growth and development of the
colt
Many young boars are ruined by
being allowed to run in lots near the
sows.
If you intend sowing clover or
alfalfa this spring get your seed
right away.
Every farmer needs a silo.
Are the cattle well housed and
fed?
Keep the sheep healthy and vigor-
Gus.
Feed for egg production should be
rich in protein.
You cannot get heavy egg laying
without heavy feeding.
To improve the dairy herd, keep
the best, and sell the rest.
The three essentials for a success
tul dairy COW are vigor, capacity for
food and well-deyeloped organs for
milk production.
Goslings will thrive If fed on grass
alone, but viii not make such rapid
growth, of course, as when they are
given a little grain.
Feeding cattle gives not only a
proht on the feed produced on the
iarm, but it supplies the farm with
manure which is greatly desired in
progressive farming.
Calves should not be turned out
to pasture unless they have had a
little green feed before, as 1t is IL
able to cause scours. Give all the
fresh, clean water the calf will
drink.

For Summer Treatment of BIighted
TWigs.

A prominent fruit grower in Penn
sylvania writes to Professor II. A.
Surface, State Zoologist, at Harris
burg, and states, just finished thin
ming my apples, etc, and find a
number of short twigs with bios
SONS that are dead, looking as
though they had been burned. MAY
this not be Twig blight, as described
an the Bulletin of January, 1911:
and to save the trees must they be
taken off and the cut painted? The
reply OF Professor Surface is as fol-
lows and may prove useful to every
grower or apple, pear and ounce
trees, all of which are subject to
Twig blight during the summer:
The short twigs with dead bios
SONS were doubtless killed by a
Diight known as fire blight, twig
Dilght, pear blight, black blight,
black flag, etc. This often starts in
the way you describe and there is
very little else to be done for IL than
10 cut out the blighted parts below
the point of injury Where a short
twig is blighted back to a larger
branch it is best to just take a sharp
knife and cut out the blighted piece
OF tWig and paint over the freshly cut
surface with paint consisting OF as
phaltum or pure raw linseed oil and
white lead or something else that
does not contain turpentine.
1t is not always necessary TO cut
on and paint the blighted parts, as |
nave frequently seen short twigs
blighted back to larger branches
where nothing worse ever came of
1t. In fact something of the kind
is to be seen in almost every an
pie tree, but in pear trees especially
the Bartlett it is liable to become
worse and ii is also very bad in
ounce. The trouble is that as long
as there are any blighted twigs and
plight germs still remaining there is
danger OF infection for all the apple,
pear and ounce trees that you
have"

A New Insect Injuring Apples.

n NeW insect lngurlnS apples.
A prominent member of the
Beaver County Fruit Growers Asso-
citation writes to State Zoologist Sur
face, and sends a box of small ap-
pies that have been gnawed by an
insect. He says: The injury caused
by this pest consists of a large part
of the surface of the fruit eaten, or
a hole from one-eighth to one
fourth inch in size eaten dierctly in
to the fruit as far as the seeds The
caterpillar was light green in color,
with smooth body, and light stripes
extending along it length-wise." The
writer adds that he will have a full
crop of apples this year in his or
Chard, which has been for the past
three years one of the States De
monstration Orchards. He also says,
My success is due entirely to the
suggestions and information given by
your department"
Prof. Surface has found from re-
ports from various parts of the state
that this injury by larve gnawing
in apples is unusually common this
year. He has received it from most
of the counties of Pennsylvania.
Therefore, this reply will be of gen.
eral interest. 1t is as follows:
" The worm which you mention is
probably the rose leaf slug. AT any
rate it can be destroyed by spraying
with an ounce of arsenate of lead
in each gallon of water, or by dust
ing the leaves when damp with dew,
either late in the evening or early in
the morning, with one part of Paris
green mixed with fifty parts of flour.
Unmixed Paris green will not do
this. 1t is too strong and will kill
the leaves. The flour is used both
to dilute the Paris green and make
it stick well on damp leaves. 1t can
be safely used around the yard with
out injury to animals or persons.
You can use powdered or dry arsen-
ate of lead in preference to Paris
green If you wish. The larva or
worm boring into the rose buds can
be killed by the same materials. The
arsenate of lead spray is especially
to be recommended for this.
The small, dark green insect
about the size Of the head of a pin
is no doubt the rose Aphis or plant
lice. 1t clusters mostly around the
tips of the growing shoots and the
buds. The treatment named above
for the chewing insects will not de-
stroy this as it is a sucking inset.
Among the remedies for this are the
following:
Il. Spray or wash with one pound
OF whale oil soap in five or six gal
Ions of water.
"2. Give same treatment using a !
strong tabacco decoction made by
sleeping pound of tobacco in a gal
Ion OF water for two hours.
3. Use eight or ten per cent.
Kerosene emulsion.
a. Use one pound of ground
laundry soap in about three gallons
OF water. Dissolve this in hot water
then let it cool before using it as
wash or spray.
Any one of the above should give
relief
The insect in the rose while in
bloom can be destroyed by the arsen-
ate of lead spray which will not dis |
color leaf or flower. However, as a |
rule | avoid spraying blossoms of
all kinds because of the danger of f.
killing bees and other beneficial in |
sects which visit them and are valu-
able in pollenizing."

quent and the prospect of controll-
ing the blight most assuring. 1t will
be the strong endeavor of the scouts,
field agents and employees of the
Commission to prevent the disease
from becoming general and spreading
westward into other states, but prop
erty owners must assist in the task.

A Few Notes.

Probably more failures in sprav-
ing are due to poor preparation of
spray materials than from anv other
one cause. This is especially true in
the use of arsenate of lead. MANY
people in mixing this, put the thick
paste arsenate directly into the SPRAY
barrel or tank. BY stirring slightly
they obtain a milky solution, and
conclude that the arsenate is all in
suspension. 1t is not so. The ma
|terial thus sprayed on has only
about haf-strength, and no doubt
|that which was sprayed from the
Pnrst was not more than one-fourth

The government charges that the

for the packers to maintain the al.
legged combination in restraint of
trade described in the Indictment
That the test cost was a ficticious
figure obtained by making inadequate

and enabled them to conceal large
percentage of the profits made on

Based on Facts
HANGING TOO GOOD FOR Them
A Mystery of How Honest
Labor Could Be Invovled in
the Conspiracy.

by Special LEASED Wire to New MeXican)
Indianapolis, Ind, Feb. 6.-District
Attorney Miller announced that only
thirty-two of the indictments of the
thirty-three returned today pertained
to the dynamite conspiracy. one true
bill being in another case. The num-
Der and the names of the defendants
were ordered to be held secret pend
ing arrests. 1t is understood warrants
are to be issued Immediately.
Not only members of the Nc
Namara's "dynamiting crew" but also
men who are said to have had knoWl-
edge of what Mcnamara did with the
money at his disposal, are believed to
have been indicted. Former associa-
tes of J. J. Mcnamara, in the office
of the international Association of
Bridge and Structural Workers, re-
ceived the news of the indictments
without surprise.
Both Frank M. Ryan, the president
and Herbert S. Hockin, the secretary
treasurer, said they knew the direc-
Ition of the investigation, because the
Associations records were evidence
before the grand Jury.
But We have maintained right
along" said Hockin, that nobody
in this Office was concerned with
Mcnamara in his dynamiting."
Part of the indictments are known
to be against men who met Ortie E..
'McManigal in Detroit in June 1907,
and induced him, because of his ia
miliarity with explosives, gained
while working in a stone quarry, to
become a regular member Of the Nc
Namara's "dynamiting crew."
Other indictments are believed to be
against men who met McManigal in
Boston, and showed him where to put
the explosives which blew up part
of an opera house there March 81,
| 1909, and who afterwards went with
him to Springfield, Mass, and showed
him where to blow up part of a build
ing and also who escorted him from
New York to Hoboken, n J., and Jer
sey City, where he did jobs in 1905
and 1910; men who met him in Cleve
land, in July 1910, and arranged for All
explosion at Akron, Ohio, and men
who took charge of him when he ar
rived at Peoria, ILL.,, to blow up pla
Ces there.
Another Indictment is said to dea
with a Chicago man who, after Nc
Manigal partly wrecked by dynamite
the iron works plant in South Chicago
in February 1911, handed him an enve
Ilcpe containing $3.50, with the remark
