SWAP CHILDREN IN DENMARK
Curious System Of Exchanging Little
Folk During Summer Months--
Scheme Works Well.

In Denmark there is curious sys-
tenn Of exchanging children during the
summer. The country. people send
their little ones to the city people, and
the latter send theirs to the country.
The state delivers free tickets, and
the schools send the children accord
ing to the applications from families.
The children travel alone, each one
wearing ticket of Identification
pinned on the jacket or bodice. Should
any of them go astray they are lodged
at the first station whilst inquiries are
made The young travellers are met at
their destination by the peasants and
their wives.
Treated with affectionate care by
these good hearted people, the children
often enjoy privileges they have never
known at home. There is no severe
discipline nor irksome restraint. They
return home full of tales about their
adventures, and their mothers are de-
lighted to find them looking rosy
checked, fat and healthy. The peas
ant women feed them we'll and often
make them fresh clothing.
The latter send their children into
the towns and volunteer guides show
them the monuments and sights. Last
year the principal restaurant keepers
at Copenhagen gave them a series Of
feats and organized little dancing par
ties for their amusement. Both cate
gories Of children benefit by this mode
Of exchange. which, 1t may be noted.

MUSIC READING MADE EASY
Children Find II an Attractive Task

M. Pierre Cells, Paris inventor,
makes the device which we illustrate
here. It Ia based on the principle of
using an electric contact plate under
the music paper. By pricking each
note with sharp metal point, we
make contact for an electric device
carrying hammer, SO that the ham
mer strikes string or preferably
metal piece to give out the sound.
Thus each note or line or space gives
out its corresponding sound, and it Is
an easy matter to read simple piece
of music in this way.

The Oyster Shell Scale.

The Division of Entomology of the
State Agricultural Experiment station
at Pullman, Washington, gives the
following timely information concern
ing this destructive pest:
The oyster shell bark louise is quite
a common pest throughout Western
Washington and also occurs in many
of the orchards in Eastern Washing
ton, especially in those of higher alti-
tude. The oyster shell seems to pre-
fer an elevation above 1000 feet or
else where considerable moisture is
present, while the San Jose scale
seeks the localities below 1000 feet
and where there is little moisture in
the air. The oyster she'll differs
from the San Jose scale in it's method
of reproduction. There is but one
generation of the oyster shell each
year. In the fall, under each of the
scales, you will find produced about
one hundred eggs or less. These re-
main over winter and about the early
part of June will hatch out. The
young scales then crawl over the tree
and locate on some suitable place of
the bark, where they remain the rest
of their lives. With the San Jose scale
as many as four hundred young are
born to each mother and there are at
least ten generations in the year. 1t
is this difference in reproductive abil-
ity that makes the San Jose scale such
a dreaded pest.
The usual treatment for the oyster
she'll bark louise is to spray with the
sulphur-lime wash any time during the
winter. This Ewash acts through the
shell and will kill some of the eggs
beneath. Sometimes, however, espe-
cially if the wash is scantily applied, it
has proved quite insufficient in check
ing the pest. 1t would seem as if the
old fashioned sulphur-lime, contain
ing great excess of lime, would
work better than the clear sprays now
in use. The excess of lime has the
effect of raising the scale on drying
and that exposes the eggs to the ac-
tion of the wash and also to the action
of the weather. If the eggs are not
killed and the young appear in early
summer, tobacco wash has given the
best satisfaction. Blackleaf, used
to z, or Blackleaf-40, used l to 70, is
dependable spray. Any tobacco
spray has its effect greatly increased
by the addition of soap, and of the
soaps those known as cresol or lysol
seem best.
If there are no other pests than the
oyster she'll, red spider and aphis pres
ent, the tobacco treatment in early
summer will be preferable to the win
ter spray of sulphur-lime.

Efadicating Bronze Grass
From Alfalfa Fields.

To eradicate bronze grass from al
falfa fields it is necessary to tear up
the sod by early cultivation, and then
cut the crop before the grass goes to
seed, is the substance of the advice
given in response to inquiries, by Pro-
fessor H. D. Scudder, agronomist, of
the Oregon Agricultural college. The
professor explains the reasons for this
statement as follows:
"Brome grasses are very active
spreaders through their roofing sys
TENS as well as through their seed.
So to get rid of it, two things are i'm
perative.
"First, the field should be thorough
ly cultivated as early in the spring be-.
fore the alfalfa buds, with a machine
similar to the John Deere alfalfa cul-
tivator, until not bit of sod remains
untorn. This will not injure the alfals
ia at all, provided it is a year or two
old, but will improve it, although the
field will look as though freshly
plowed. This treatment will tear out
nearly all the grass, and should be
followed by peg-tooth harrow to
level the ground and shake the soil
from the grass sod, so that the roots
will die. Should any grass appear af-
ter the first cutting the field should
be cultivated as at first. This will de-
lay the second cutting, but will not
lose you the crop.
Second, none of the grass which
does come through should be allowed
to go to seed. Cut the crop before
the seed ripens. This can be done
and still give you fair quality of
hay, or this early cutting can be put
into the silo or fed green to cows or
pastured off with pigs and sheep"
