FIXING RED SPIDERS AND LICE.

The red spider is a small mite which
feeds chiefly on the under side of the
leaves Of several cultivated plants and
shrubs. In number of sections in the
west it proves a serious pest to cur
rants, gooseberries, raspberries and
dewberries. When the berry patch be-
comes infested it is best to clear out
all litter and old canes and spray the
remaining vines between now and the
time the buds start with ten to one
lime-sulphur solution. If the spiders
should appear after vegetation starts
a thorough spraying should be made
with a tobacco solution, special care
being used that the under side of the
may be made by boiling up tobacco
leaves at the rate of a pound to four
gallons of water or by diluting COM
mercial "black leaf tobacco extract
at the rate of one part to siXty-five
parts of water. The treatment above
indicated is also good in combating the
various kinds of plant lice which do
much damage to apple foliage Where
the limesulphur is used strong, as in
dicated, it should be applied just be
fore the buds open, when the early
broods of the aphis are Matching. The
tobacco solution does not injure the
foliage and may be used at any time
during the growing season.

TEST THE DAIRY COW.

Running a dairy without testing the
individuals composing it to learn how
much and how rich milk they give IL
on par with running a bunch of boys
and girls through school regardless of
their ability and giving each one di-
ploma mt graduating time. Yes, it's
worse than this, for the poorest stu
dent in the class will get some benefit
from the instruction received and
studying done, but the farmer who
keeps on milking COWS that don't pay
for their keep is dead loser He is
ahead simply from the standpoint of
having had the company of that partic-
ular COW. She has been a source Of

THE PRICE OF BEEF.

1t would seem that the variation in
the price of beef cattle from 81 per
hundredweight just before election to
$40 mt the present time cannot be
laid to Providence or the law of supply
and demand on any rational basis, for
there are no more fat cattle in the
country than there were three months
ago, In fact, there are probably fewer.
The phenomenon of the lower price
can only be explained on the basis of
purposeful manipulation of the mar
kets by the packing interests, and it is
this factor, which lies entirely outside
OF the control of the beef producer, that
makes the feeding of cattle at any time
30 much of a speculation.

new SUBMARINE
ANAVY WONDER

BERLIN, Germany-Some details
are now forthcoming of the newest
type of German submarine. 1t is to
be boat of 500 tons and the chief
characteristic of its armament is Il
I.5 centimetre, quickfiring gun, which
Is fitted to rise and sink on much the
same principles as the standard type
of coast battery gun. In these two
particulars, size and quickfiring gun
armament, it is admitted that the de-
signers have followed the latest de-
Telopment of submarine design in the
British fleet
The demonstrating carries two
of these guns, one fore, the other aft,
and the total weight of each gun is
given as $50 kilograms-or, roughly,
two-thirds of q ton. 1t can be brought
up from the hull of the vessel and
the first shot fired can be fired within
twenty seconds. Each gun requires
three men to work it. As for defense
against airships and aeroplanes, the
angle through which the gun may be
turned-a full right angle-allows it
to be brought into play directly over
Lead almost as easily as against sea
craft on the sea level.
Other features of the new boat are
its armor and its 900horsepower Die
sci motor. As usual with Krupp ar
NOR. no thickness is specified. 1t is
known only that the deck, the con
ming tower and all the hull that is
visible during oversee cruising are to
be strongly protected. The Diesel
mo Il
a speed of II and II knots respect
lively for submarine and sea level
cruising.
The first vessel of this type is U21,
which has been turned out by the
Imperial yards at Danzig. Five ships
of similar design, but of considerably
lighter tonnage tG10 tons instead OF
500 tons}, are being built by the
krupp Germania works at Kiel for
The Austrian government.
