London for four weeks for the purpose
of obtaining Lord Haldane's accept
ance of the associations invitation.
The obstacles standing in the way
were thought by most of the persons
concerned i~nsuperable. Apart from
the lord high chancellor's position as
the head of the English legal system,
which practically chains him to Lon
don, it is one of the first requirements
of the Office that he shall not let the
great seal of England get out of his
possession. Consequently the tradi-
tons of centuries had created the I'M
written law that the chancellor should
not leave the country during his ten
ure of Office. During medieval times
the custom grew up of appointing a
lord keeper of the seal during the
chancellor's absence from the country,
but the modern practice on the rare
occasions of the c~hancellor's absence
has been to obtain the kings consent
to the appointment of lords commits
sioners, who would temporarily per-
form the formal duties of the Office.
Although backed by the good wishes
of the state department at Washing
ton and assisted by Irwin L~aughlin,
the American charge d'affaires, KEEL
logg found British officials very dubi-
Gus about the project.

Csced In His Feed.

A Maine farmer who had been losing
a large amour o. grain and feed from
the depredations of rats and mice rea-
soned that a cage which would keep
them from getting cut would also
keep them from getting In. So he Sc
lected a large room In his barn and
covered all sides, floor and ceiling with
quarter inch mesL alyani1ed wire
screen. The one door and the two win
dows were covered also. Into this
room he then put his sacks of grain
and feed. The room proved to be abso-
lutely rat proof. Corncribs and gran
aries may be similarly covered with
coarse screen.-Farm aud Fireside.

READ HERE HOW TO SPRAY
YOUR ORCHARD EFFECTIVELY
When and How to Use lime-Su'pnur'
Arsenic, Etc, on Fruit Pests, eo'n
Insect and FUNGUS.

Just after the cluster cups open ana
inst before the flower buds unfold Is
the time TO make the first sprays says
Albert Dickens. professor OF horticul-
tire at the Kansas Agricultural col
lege.
The second spraying, which usually
is intended for the codling moth, cur
culio. scab and blotch fungi. should De
applied ut the dropping of the dos
SONS and before the calyx b close.
The third spraying. intended for cod
ling moth, curculio, scab. blotch, black
and bitter rot, should be given about
three weeks after the blossoms fall.
When bitter rot is not suspected TINS
should consist of arsenate OF ieau
alone. The time to spray peaches n
pIums is Just before the buds SVEN
and then just after the shucks taii.
You must be on the lookout for brown
rot. scab and %curculio.
The material used in spraying Is
composed of two substances. One Is
intended TO destroy the insects and the
other to control fungi. The first Is
arsenic in the form of arsenate of lead.
This is a stomach poison and must be
placed on substances which the in
sects eat.
The other substance is copper sui
phate. or blue vitriol. 1t Is used with
milk of lime to form bordeaux mix
ture. Lime-sulphur solutions are also
very effective in killing disease spores.
If the weather is dry it is best to use
bordeaux solution, as it is the most
effective, but if the weather Is wet
lime-sulphur should be used. For
spraying peaches and plums the solu-
ton should be about half the strength
that is used for apples.
These solutions are applied under
pressure In the form of a fine mist,
which will reach all parts of the tree.
There are three sources of power for
this spraying-man power. gasoline en-
CINE and compressed air. The first Is
the cheapest and most practicable II
fewer than 800 trees are to be spray
ed. But when there are from o to
1000 trees to be treated n gasoline en-
CINE should be used. IL more than
1000 trees compressed air is the best.

One may deliberate profoundly be-
tween different courses possible in a

sense would indicate and yet go
wrong. Judgment is like logic, which

of this to my cost.
Before going down from the dressing

ring.
Two courses suggested themselves
to me-oIie to take the ring downstairs
and give it to the host, telling him
where / had found it. But it occurred
to me that If the person who had lost
it should return for it and catch me in
the act of picking it up he might ac-
cuse me of stealing it. I'm a practical
chap and don't believe in doing people
unasked favors. Such kindnesses are
liable to verify Aesop's fable of the
man who warmed a frozen serpent in
his bosom and was bitten for his pains.
The other plan was to let the ring lie
where it was, an act that l grant was
not as kindly as the other, but safer.

Il think" said one. that you ran no
especial risk in either case, but any
possible distressing consequences to

me that it was he who had left the

parted with for a small fortune. He
had missed the ring within u few min
utes after he had left it, having taken
1t off his finger 10 wash his hands, and
hurried back TO get ii. Williams didn't
mention Stewards having met me at
the foot of the stairs, but | was sure
Stewart had mentioned the fact to
him. He said something more appal-
llng-viz, that Stewart hurried back to
the bathroom and the ring was gone,
and a maid in the ladies' dressing
room told him that had just left the
bathroom and there had been no guest
on that floor at the time except me.
Here was a pretty how-de-do. Jack
smoothed the matter over as softly as
possible. saying that he thought under
the circumstances he should tell me
what had happened. but of course no

pecting me, and all that, but | knew
well enough that / stood accused of
stealing the ring. ! told Jack that

lay. He didn't say anything, but

thought that instead Of having shown
good judgment In leaving the ring

fool or a knave. You see. it's so much

BALKAN WAR ATROCITIES

A special correspondent Of the Lon
don Times who had been trying to get
at the truth about the butcheries COM
mitted in the Balkan war reported: II
estimate the atrocities at a maximum
Of 10000 Moslems and $4,000 Chris
tians In the whole Of European Tur-
key. The Moslems were mostly killed
by irregulars or in the peasant jacque-
RE, which followed the defeat of the
Turkish troops. Massacres took place
at Sores, where 800 were killed. and in
the Strumnitza region between Gu
muldjina and Keshan. where 1t is be-
neved over 1900 were killed and many
women were outraged. The Christians
suffered most in the Drama-Nevrokop
area, where over 500 Bulgarians were
killed on Nov. 4 without distinction of
age or sex; at the village of Plevna,
where 49, were burned; in the bar
racks near Demir-H issar many more
were slain; in the Djuma-i-Bala-Novro-
kop region, in the country between Gu
muldjina and Keshan, where a num-
Der Of villages, variously estimated at
from ten to fourteen, were burned and
from 20 to so per cent of the inhabi-
tants were killed, and in Epirus, where
statistics of the loss of life are lacking"
According to information from well in
formed sources slaughter of noncom-
batants in the vilayet of Kossovo was
confined to the districts between Us
kub and Kumanovo (by retreating
Turkish troops and between the Lab
river and Gilane.

A n effort will be made in congress
"a TO have the government sup
~ ply residences in Washington
" for members Of the cabinet.
Representative Stephen B. Ayres of
the Eighteenth New York district Is
forwarding the project. He has pre-
pared a bill carrying sufficient money
to enable the government TO purchase
homes for cabinet members.
The argument that has been used IN
the campaign to purchase residences
for our ambassadors and ministers In
foreign capitals, to the effect that only
very rich men can afford to accept
place in the service, will be used In
connection with the effort to supply
official homes in Washington for MEM
bers of the presidents official family.
ct have been working on a plan to
have the government appropriate $780,
900 to be used in the purchase of
homes for cabinet members" said Rep
resentative Ayres. This government
is big enough and rich enough to pro-
vide homes for cabinet officers"
Mr.. Ayres says that his idea already
has met with much encouragement.
His contention is that If such an in
ducement as he proposes is held out to
poor men who cannot afford TO accept
positions in the cabinet Of a president
on account Of expenses attached to the
