With the idea that the camels would
be useful in Indian warfare because
they could carry dispatches more
swiftly than horses and that in other
ways they could be made useful in the
deserts. the government imported forty
camels. with twelve Armenian drivers
and their families, in 1856.
But just when the camels were about
to demonstrate their ability to be of
service in the new land the breaking

The greatest danger to young apple
orchards comes from the inroads Of
the borer beetle. The eggs are laid by
the mature Lretle the latter part of
May and early June. and the little
borers which hatch In few days are
soon busy. The point where they enter
the bark Is usually indicated by drop
Of brown colored sap or. in the case Of
the borers that are several months or
year old. by brownish. sawdust- like
excreta. Washes applied at about the
time the young hatch will destroy
many. but the only sure method is to

eeIIvilIe Bull Pout Become Musical
and Annoy Neighbors.
Singing fish have caused all sorts of
excitement in Bellville. o. The fish,
Il variety of bull pout. live in the sub
terranean streams and come to the
surface and sing.
They gather at the surface Of els
terms and quiet pools In the gathering
dusk and chant in chorus what prom
inent poetess of Bellville calls sweet,
sad. haunting melody. which she likens
to the moaning Of night winds through
lonely. brooding pines.
She also believes that the pout in
the subterranean darkness keep track
Of each other by their cries and that
the droning sounds are their callings
to their mates. But plain citizens who
are kept awake are beginning to say
harsh things about the singing fish.

IDLENESS.
HOW TO WASH BLANKETS.

/ You must never rub soap upon
!. wool blankets. and they must
/ never be put into water Of diff
. ferent temperatures.
/ Any Of the many white soaps
. are good for washing wool
! blankets. Cut up two bars Of
! soap and boil them in eight
quarts Of water. When 1t Is all
! dissolved turn four quarts into
a tub half full Of tepid water,
with half cupful ammonia add
ed. Put your blankets in this
! and rinse them up and down and
rub them and squeeze them
. through the hands. Unless there
!. are very bad spots do not rub
- them on the board.
After they have been treated
. in this way until you are sure
. that they are fairly clean put
. them in another tub Of water
!. the same temperature to which
. you have added the three quarts
!. of soapy water and go through
: the same treatment as you did
!. at first. Take them out and
: put them into still another tub
. Of water the same temperature
: and add to this water the re-
. naming quart Of soap. Never
: rinse blankets in clear water.
Put them through the wringer
: and hang them up to dry In a
. rather warm place-in the sun
II possible.
. Pull and straighten them into
: shape.
If they are very fine blankets
quite good way to dry them
is to put them on a curtain
frame and stretch them down;
. otherwise you must be v cry care
full to stretch them and pull
. them straight by hand.
: Never put anything made Of
. wool into very hot water, as 1t
fulls and thickens 1t. If you
. have cotton quilts like mother
. used to make" these can be
. Numbered very easily If you
. have a washing machine (and
: surely every woman who has a
. large family should have one).
; Use the same soapy water made
. a little stronger than was given
: for washing the blankets and
. put them in the machine and
; rinse them in clear cold water.

While there are few New England

While there are few New England
orchardists who favor keeping their
trees in grass. cutting the grass and
using it for mulch. and while in
many ranches in the far west the sys-
TEN Of clean cultivation throughout the
season is followed. there Is much to
commend the system Of giving clean
cultivation up to the middle Of July
and then seeding to some leguminous
cover crop and blowing this under the
following spring. Even in sections
where the rainfall is limited and most
Of It falls from the LIST Of October to
the LIST of April the cover crop idea
is good. In such case. however. the
seeding should be- made just before
the fall rains set in. The growth
made. while not needed as a winter
projection. serves to keep the soil from
wishing and. plov'ed under in the
spring. furnishes humus that most
soils are much in need of.

Where pasturage' is abundant the
feeding of a grain ration to milk cows
does in most cases increase the milk
flow somewhat. but the increase is sell
dom justified in view Of the cost Of
the grain fed. However. it has been
noted in some experiments. conducted
by the animal husbandry department
Of Cornell college. New York. that
cows that were given such grain ra-
ton gave 16 per cent more milk after
the pasture season than cows that had
pasturage only.

After many experiments and investi-
cation into the causes of white diar-
rhea in chickens the poultry depart
ment of the StOrrs Agricultural college
recommends the feeding Of sour milk
or buttermilk to the chicks from the
time they are ten days old. The acidi-
ty Of the milk seems to serve as a
germicide and to keep the bowels in a
healthful condition. Besides this. the
food elements which the milk contains,
being. as they are. largely protein, are
excellent for the growth and vigor Of
the young chicks and also fine ration
for the laying hens. If plain sour
milk Is thus a preventive Of this worst
of poultry plaques 1t should be sup
piled to the chicks and hens whenever
possible.

While soap, whitewash and some
other things may be applied to the
trunks Of fruit trees without injury,
mixtures containing grease or heavy

they check or ward off some fungous
or insect pest with which the trees
were threatened.
