FEW PRACTICAL FARM NOTES
Orchardist Who Has Sprayed His
Trees Can Send Clean Fruit to
Manufacturing Hay Crop.

Don't try to do all the farm work
today and tomorrow. There are more
days coming. Save strength for the
tuss1e that is coming by and by.
The fruit crop is likely to be short
this year and the man who has
sprayed his trees and can send clean
fruit to market will reap his reward.
The man who makes good seed
bed and then puts any old seed into
it that comes along is like the man
who tried to lift himself by the boot
straps.
The farmer who keeps taking fer
tility from the soil without putting
anything back, will soon put his farm
in such condition that it will not raise
even mortgage.
When you can get a fair price for
your wool let it go. 1t does not pay
to hold wool over year on the
chance of getting a better market,
when you consider interest and loss
Of the use of money. This applies to
most other farm crops.
There is such a thing as being too
economical in cutting your hay crop.
l have seen meadows badly injured
by setting the machine so that~it will
cut too low. This is especially true
where we have a long spell Of hot,
dry weather after haying. The grass
roots are seriously injured by too
close moving. Better leave an inch
or two more on the stalk and save
your meadows.

Welsh and Ancient RrItons.

All the histories agree that under
the wars of practical extinction car
ried on by the invading hordes of
northern Europe in Britain, only those
of the ancient inhabitants escaped
destruction who fed to or already
lived in the mountain Businesses Of
Wales. 1t does not appear to have
suggested itself to anyone to doubt
that modern Welsh is essentially the
language of the ancient Britons, or
that the Welsh are the descendants
Of those interesting people, who occu-
pied the British Isles when they were
termed the 'end Of the world ultima
thule" by the old Roman writer's,
and were successfully invaded by
Julius Caesar, B. c. 55. The Welsh
were always recognized as good fight
ing men, as witness Fluellen in
Two famous regiments
in the British army continue the ira
ditions, The Royal Welsh Fusiliers, Z"
who have been in every warlike affair
of consequence in which Britain has
been concerned since 1890, and THE
Welsh Regiment" comprising the old
Forty-frst, the Sixty-ninth and the
Royal GlamOrgan militia.

BENEFIT TO SCHOOL sYsTE.0
Massachusetts,, Ohio and Indiana Lead
ers In Movement to Consolidate
Rural Institutions,

That improved roads would u9neft
our country school system, here
would seem to ae no doubt improved
roads make il possible TO consolidate
or centralize the schools and to estab-
hsh graded schools in the rural dis
tricts. Such schools centrally located
will accommodate all the children
within a radius of from four to Eve
miles. In many communities having
the advantage Of improved roads, com-
modious buildings have been provided,
more competent teachers have been
employed, and modern facilities for
teaching have been supplied at a mini
mum cost For instance, since the
improvement Of the main highways
in Durham county, North Carolina. the
number Of school houses has been
reduced from SIS to 10, Of which II
are graded and have two or more
rooms, and employ two or more teach
ers.
There are at the present time about
1000 consolidated rural schools IN the
United States. It appears that Masse-
chusetts, Ohio and Indiana have made
the greatest progress along these
lines, and it is rather significant to
note that in these states about one
third Of the roads have been improved.
According to statistics Of the agricul-
tural department, there was expended
in 1899, 1921 in Massachusetts for
the conveyance of pupils to consoli-
dated schools, but in 1908 the expendi
ture for this purpose amounted to
S292,213. In Indiana, the expenditure
for this purpose in 1904 amounted to
$4,000, while in 1908, $290,0O0 was
expended. This expenditure fer trans
portation reflects, in a general way,
the extent and progress Of this new
educational movement. 1t must not be
understood that this is an additional
burden, as the expenditure thus made
is saved in other directions-that is,
by the decrease in the number of
schools and economy in their opera

RASH SPREAD RAPIDLY

Granton, Wis.-"My sister had a
very bad, deep, wet, running sore on
the side of her face and it ran up to
her ear. 1t commenced with a small
blotch of pimples which turned into
kind of rash and spread rapidly. 1t
itched and looked red and sore for
some time and slightly swelled. A
thin fluid dripped and ran from the
sores which looked like water. Then
the swelling would go down and it
would keep on spreading. 1t bothered
her during sleep and she would be
restless. 1t was kind Of eczema.
"She treated for some time and it
did not help her. It kept spreading
larger and deeper. Having always
used Cuticura Soap we told her to try
1t so she got some Cuticura Soap and
Ointment and used them. 1t was two
months when it was gone" (Signed)

A DisIoyai Parrot.

The doorkeeper at one of the places
the king and queen of England were
expected to visit had two pet parrots
one rather stupid and the other very
intelligent and laxative Very care
fully he taught the talkative parrot to
say: God save the King!" in honor Of
the royal visitors, and the parrot was
so delighted with the new phrase that
it would say nothing else, repeating it
at breakneck speed every time any
body loked at him. The other parrot,
On the contrary, refused to say a word
maintaining a cold and dignified
silence
When their majesties arrived. and
were passing through the hall where
the parrots were kept, the talkative
parrot suddenly screamed: God save
the king! God save the king! God save
the king!"
To its owners delight their majesties,
smiling broadly, paused to speak to
the bird, and the parrot, apparently
just as delighted, repeated his remark,
enthusiastically God save the king!
God save the king! God save the
king!"
Instantly the other parrot, having
disgustedly turned it's back on the roy
alties, croaked out: SILLY ass! Shut
up"
King George roared with laughter.

HOW TO SPRINKLE LAWNS
1t Is Net Enough to Water the Surface
of the Ground-Should
Be Soaked.

SprInklIng the lawn is an ever-pres-
ent duty during hot, dry summer, and
most summers are both hot and dry.
Almost every one who ever sprinkles
a lawn feels that he knows precisely
how II should be done, but the United
States department of agriculture has
published q bulletin of directions for
scientific sprinkling.
BAD watering, the bulletin says, is
responsible for many poor lawns. Most
persons believe that when they have
molstened the surface of the ground
they have done all that is necessary
This view is erroneous. The bulletin
says that merely to moisten the sur
lace will cause the roots of the grass
to grow near the top, and few hot
days will dry them up and kill the
grass unless the sprinkling is regular
and continuous.
The best way, according to the ex-
perts Of the department of agriculture,
is to sprinkle on one spot from six to
twelve hours; then on another spot
for the same length of time and so on
until the whole lawn is thoroughly
moistened, the sprinlling being so
slight that not a drop of water runs
off and is wasted The water then
sinks down into the soil, the roots go
down after it, and the grass can better
withstand protracted drought.
There are few persons who sprin-
kle their lawns in this way, but the
great majority do not. Undoubtedly
there is much bad sprinkling which
does the lawn more harm than good.
Unless good Judgment is used in the
time and manner of sprinkling It will
be better not to sprinkle at all. Grass
is persistent and not easily killed, but
as between being scalded to death by
improper watering or scorched to
death by drought there is not much
choice, and the scalding is quite as
effectually deadening as is the scorch-
ing-if not more so.

culent roots, has largely solved the
question Of food supply for this ami
NAL by providing it with an abundance
easily accessible both in winter and in
summer. Truly the conditions of the
alfalfa field are such as to render life
easy for the gopher tribe. Not only
does the animal injure alfalfa by
actual consumption of the roots, but
by covering up a considerable portion
sometimes 20 per cent? of the area
badly infested, and by rendering the
crop in fields so infested difficult to
harvest. OF the many methods of
combating these animals, poisoning
has been found at once the quickest
and most efficient. This is done by
putting carbon bisulphid into the bur
row and closing the burrow at once.
The fluid may be poured into the bur
row directly from the bottle Can ounce
Of the nquid) or preferably wad Of
cotton saturated and rolled into the
hole, and the opening closed i'm
mediately.
