Four Bud Weevils Injure Fruit
SciOns.

That young fruit scions are receiv-
ing great injury from four different
bud weevils, and that immediate steps
should be taken is the opinion of Prof.
II. F. Wilson, in charge of entomology
work at the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege.
"They sometimes appear in i'm
mense numbers on fruit trees and feed
on the foliage and buds just opening" {"
he says. "On large trees the damage
is slight, but very young trees suffer,
and may lose the proper branches for
forming the head by having the buds
eaten by the weevils. They do con-
siderable damage on young prune
scions, stripping them completely and
causing them to die in short time.
Spraying with arsenate of lead
would undoubtedly kill them, but all
the weevils respond slowly to poisons,
and the breeding grounds would furnish
new supplies before the old disap-
peared. Hence spraying is not prac-
tical remedy.
AS the beetles have no wings under
the wing sheaths, they must crawl in
to the trees. If, therefore, the trees
are shaken in the cool of the day to
dislodge the weevils, and something
sticky is put around the tree, a large
part of the damage will be prevented.
Printers ink or special preparation
made by the "Tanglefoot" manufac-
lures would be good.

Winter Butter Making.

Good butter can be made in winter,
but it takes careful attention to de-
tails from start to finish. Be sure
that utensils used in working the but
ter are thoroughly aired and dried af-
ter using and before being put away.
In the absence of direct sunshine dry
ing is slower, and may not be thor
oughly done unless special attention is
given, says Farm and Home Writer.
Always scald pals, strainers and
separators with as much care as in mid
summer. Because milk does not sour
so quickly is no reason why vigilance
in this direction should be relaxed.
The bitter odor is bound to creep in
unless this is carefully attended to.
We cannot hope to make good but
ter without proper ripening of the
cream, for proper ripening is most i'm
portant. Most farm people keep
cream an entire week, putting all in
one lot. Often the cream is SKINNED
directly into the churn, and this, of
course, has not ripened at all. Cool
the cream thoroughly after separating
and before mixing with the other
cream. Stir thoroughly every time
fresh cream is added. 1t will then
ripen evenly; more butter will be OBJ
tained, and it will come easier and
quicker.
Churning should be done at least
twice week. After separating is
done cream should be kept cool until
within IL hours before churning. 1t
may generally be ripened in winter by
letting it stand in warm room few
hours. The temperature should be
raised to about 65 degrees, or little
over. If churned at more than 65 de-
grees good deal of the curd may be
Incorporated and this will give a
cheesy flavor and the butter will not
keep well.
If all the conditions are right, but
ter should come in about 40 minutes.
If it takes longer, it may be due to
too much cream in the churn, cream
too cold, cream too thin, and it may
be so thick that 1t whips and sticks.

MUNICIPAL PALACE, LIZA

For this extraordinary reason the
gold mines from whence the native
Incas derived their fabulous wealth
remained more or less abandoned for
three centuries, and it is only now
that there is revival of gold min.
ing.
Gold is found in several parts of
Peru. There is alluvial gold gen.
orally on the Amazonian slopes and
throughout eastern Peru the rivers
have all gold bearing gravel beds,
so that hydraulic mining, the most in.
expensive method known. is likely to
assume some magnitude.
The Germans are showing the same
enterprise and aggressive policy in
Peru that they have shown in Brazil
and other parts Of South America.
They are elbowing the British out,
and are absorbing the export trade. In
almost every city throughout Latin
America the retail shops, the COM
mission business, the manufacturing
interests, and all kinds of enterprises
are owned or controlled by Germans.
They have recently gone into Peru.
The United States might have had the
best Of everything, but Americans do
not show any disposition to go out
into other countries. There are, how.
ever, several large American enter.
prises in Peru.
Mines Forgotten.
In the northern part of the repub-
lie 1t is proposed to rebuild and ex.
tend two lines of railway in order to
reach valuable deposits Of coal, cop
per and other minerals, and open
up tracts of land that are suitable
for vineyards, fruits and general ag-
riculture. One of these roads will
be an extension Of short line now
running out of Pascasmayo to the an
cient town of Caxamarca, where
Atahulpa, the Last of the Incas," was
"strangled in the most treacherous
manner by Pizarro, after he had filled
with gold the room of the palace in
which he had been confined" The
mines from which that gold came have
been forgotten, but are believed to
lie somewhere back in the mountains.
and, what is more to the point, there
are known beds Of coal of good quail
ity, almost inexhaustible, it is said.
and much needed in South America.
1t is also proposed to build about
100 miles of road from Ilo to Mo-
quega through rich agricultural
valley, where the soil is especially
adapted for vineyards.
An English corporation holds a con-
cession to build line distance of
200 miles from the port of Chimbote
over the mountains to the town of
Huarez, capital Of one of the northern
provinces, which is the center of a
mineral region with large deposits of
copper. silver and coal. An American
syndicate obtained a concession a
few years ago, and deposited a for.
felt Of 100000 for the extension of a
railway from Payta to the Maranon.
one Of the largest branches of the
Amazon. The proposed line was to-
cross both ranges of the Andes and
open up an agricultural country and
vast rubber forests. 1t was surveyed
and Is yet to be constructed.

AIRSHIPS USED IN BALKANS
Writer Vividly Describes Two Scenes
He Witnessed During the Recent
Conflict There.

AS stood watching one day saw
TWO scenes in this grim drama which
made my pulses beat with great ex-
cltement," says a writer in "The Bal
kan War" book by Philip Gibbs and
Bernard Grant. "a great bird flew
across the sky toward the city and
as 1t flew 1t sang droning song like
the Duzzing OF an enormous bee. 1t
was a monoplane, flown by Bulgari-
an aviator, who had volunteered to
reconnoiter the Turkish defenses. 1t
disappeared swiftly into the smoke
wrack; and for some time listened
intently to a furious fusillade which
seemed to meet this winged spy. At
ter half an hour the aeroplane came
back, flying swiftly away from the
shot and shell which pursued it from
the low lying hills. It's wings were
pierced, 80 that one could see the sky
through them, but it flew steadily
from the chase of death, and l heard
its rhythmic heart beat overhead. It's
escape was certain now. 1t had
mocked at the pursuit of the shells,
the loud beat of its engine above me
was song of triumph. l watched it
disappear again-to safety. So it
seemed, but death has many ways Of
capture, and when I came back to
Mustafa Pasha that day heard that
the unfortunate aviator, after his es-
cape from the guns, had fallen from
great height within sight Of home,
and that the hero's body lay smashed
to pieces in the wreckage of his ma
chine.
Then on another day saw another
drama In the air. While my eyes
watched the smoke clouds from the
siege guns something twinkled and
glittered to the left of the four tall
minarets Of the great mosque Of Adri-
anople. 1t was the smooth silk of an
a1rship which caught the rays of the
sun; this cigar-shaped craft rose
slowly and steadily to a fair height,
though / think 1t was tethered at one
end. 1t rose above peaceful ground
into a great tranquility, which lasted
about ten minutes. Then suddenly
there was terrific clap of thunder
and shell burst to the left of the air
ship. gave great cry. 1t seemed
to me that the frail craft had burst
and disappeared into nothingness.
But a few seconds later, when the
smoke was waited away, l saw the
airship still poised steadily above the
earth, untouched by that death ma
chine. A second shell was flung sky
ward, far to the right, and for an
hour l watched shells rise continually
round that airship. trying to tear it
down from its high observation, but
never striking 1t. do not know the
names of the men who piloted that
ship, but whoever they were, they
may boast Of a courage which kept
them at their post in the sky amid
that storm Of shells"

The Man of the Hour.

You may sing of the man with the
hoe,
OF the hero behind the gun;
Your may carol of valiant knights,
Who have hundreds of battles won;
Your may weep of the martyred
saint,
Or the poet who rules the pen;
But who on earth
Can compute the worth
or the fellow who feeds the hen?

Floor Stains,

When hot fat is spilled on floor,
the first impulse is to pour on hot wa
ter. Do not do this, as 1t keeps the
fat melted and allows it to sink into
the wood. Pour cold water-a lot of it
and the fat will harden before 1t
sinks In. Then 1t can be removed by
scraping up.

Vice-President Marshall was talking
In New York about famous multi

he loves his country so we'll that he'd
