100000 STAR BOARDERS.

Investigators working under the d.
rection Of the animal husbandry de-
partment of the Nebraska Agricultural
college have been taking an inventory,
as 1t were, of the dairy cows Of that
state. While not all dairy herds have
been looked into, typical and average
herds have been tested In different sec
tons Of the state. and on the basis of
these tests 1t Is estimated that of tho
100000 dairy cows of the state not few.
er than 100000 do not produce enough
milk during the year to pay for their
keeping. The conditions responsible
for this situation are doubtless the

INJURED FRUIT TREES.

A friend asks what to do with young
fruit trees from which the bark has
been stripped for II distance of five or
six inches above the ground by settling
OF ice that had formed on overflow
water. Such trees are In II bad way,
but may be saved by covering the ex-
posed trunks with smooth layer OF
soft mud or clay as soon as possible
after the injury is discovered Another
method of accomplishing the same re
suit is by winding the trunk from
below and to we'll above the injury
with strips of sheeting dipped in melt
ed grating wax. Both these methods
keep what little there may be left OF
the cambum. or light green life layer,
from drying out and also serve To pro
tect it. Another method in severe
cases Is the process known as bridge
grating In this five or six strips OF
freshly cut bark. including the cam
blum layer and half an inch wide. are
inserted so that the ends Will extend
from the uninJured bark above the
wound to that below. Care should be
taken to see that the cambium layer
of the strips connects with that of the
tree These connections should be
sealed with grating wax as soon ms
made and the strips wrapped gently
and completely so as to prevent dry
ing out. Many apparently hopeless
cases have been saved In this manner.
In the case of valuable and thrifty
trees it Is well worth the effort

LOOK OUT FOR BLIGHT.

1t is none too early to be on the
lookout for holdover cases of pear
blight (Which also affects the apple
tree family. which will begin to ooze
as soon as the sap begins to move.
The importance of cutting out such in
fected limbs as early as possible lies
In the fact that as soon as the bac-
terial ooZe begins to show through the
bark when the days get warmer these
spots draw bees and other insects that
feed on the sweet sap. Naturally the
germs stick to their legs and mandi
bles and from these are transmitted
to other blossoms and tender branch
es that they visit Practically all new
cases OF blight infection are tracea bic
to this course. 1t is imperative, there
fore. that these holdover cases should
be cut out and burned at the earliest
possible moment. In removing Infect
ed parts 1t is important to make the
cutting several inches below the area
affected In order to get all Of the in
fected wood. Not only the cut but
the knife used should be disinfected
with a one one-thousandth solution Of
bichlOride Of mercury polson). This
may be conveniently done by having n
small sponge saturated with the solu-
ton and fastened to the wrist. AS
soon as Infected twigs or branches are
cut they should be burned.

SOME UNPLEASANT TRUTHS.

We hear a good deaf these days about
the evils of the white slave traffic, IN
which women and their virtue are soin
for financial profit The agitation Is
most needed and the ends sought most
desirable: yet. in much that is being
said and written the fountain source
of the fearful business is left largely
untouched. Low wages. aping the
mode of living ana style of dress OF
wealthy women and general dcpravity
are no doubt contributing causes tcnd
ing TO lead girls and young women
into lives of shame. but cause that
is more potent than all these com
bined il the woeful lack of the right
kind Of training in the homes OF the
country in which purity. modesty'
wonlanlness and industry are i'm
pressed on the girl in tho home by
both precept and example from her
earliest years. The bald. brutal truth
about the matter Is that In thousands
of town and country homes In America
parents in actual practice seem to care
less for the welfare and happiness "i
their daughters than they do for the
financial gain to be got from the blood
ed or even scrub livestock. Under such
conditions IT Is easy to understand why
silly and half baked girls are allowed
to cad ut will q nights when they
ought to be ut home 10y the fire or
abed and why so many fall easy prey
to the lechcrous whelps whose utten
lions they unwittinEly or Deliberately
invite. While some of the contrhulins
causes of this hellish traffic in WON
en can be checked by legislative de'r'e'
yet no real advance will ever be- W1dc
until the home conditions referred to
are corrected. Amy measures for re
lief that fail to take these seriously
into account are largely futile in that
they aim to stop the business ut the
spout rather than at the hopper.
