INCREASING WORTH OF cows
NOT over one-ThIrd Of Dairy Animals
In Ohio Produce 800 Pounds Of
Butter Fat Yearly.

An estimate made by the Ohio sta
ton indicates that not over one-third
of the cows In that state will produce
900 pounds or more of butter fat In
one year IL reasonably fed. No dairy
man should be satisfied until the poor
est COW In his herd is capable Of pro-
ducing at least three hupdred pounds
of butter fat per annum. The estimate
is further made that II all cows in the
state were developed to this point the
value of the increased production OF
butter fat would amount to approx
mately s17,000,o00 annually, an amount
equal to the value Of all butter now
made In the state. What is true for
Ohio 10 equally true for he rest OF
the country.

them diligently unto thy children, and
shalt talk Of them when thou sittest

Train up child in the way he should

great tradition of the chosen people

Brown Rot Of Peach.

spring. The rule is to avoid low lands
for peaches late frosts are severest
there. Orchards planted on sunny
southern slopes come into bloom early.
Avoid such locations when possible.
A high situation, where the cool air
will flow off down to lower levels, and
a northern or western aspect is gen.
orally the best for a peach orchard.
There are several diseases of peach
If not promptly controlled, but as
proper spraying will accomplish this.
there is really no reason why peach
orchard should show loss On account
of diseases.
The brown rot Is a most destructive
disease Of the peach. 1t thrives best
in warm, moist weather and under
favorable conditions may affect the
flowers. The disease may also affect
the twigs and is often referred to as
''twig blight" Mummy peaches" are
caused by this disease. These should
always be removed. Bordeaux or
self-boiled lime sulphur combined
with arsenate Of lead controls the dis
ease. Spray just after the blossoms
fall with arsenate of lead. Two weeks
later spray with bordeaux and arsen-
ate of lead Apply bordeaux every ten
days or two weeks until fruit begins
to color.
Crown gall forms knotty gals on
the lower part Of the trunk and roots
of peach .rees and is very easy to de-
tect. Trees affected with this disease
should never be planted.
Leaf curl is disease which is very
wide spread, being found practically
everywhere the peach is grown. It
appears as soon as the buds begin to
open and shows a characteristic curl
ing Of the leaves and deeper green
color. The twigs are also affected and
become swollen and have a lighter
color. Self-boiled lime-sulphur wash
is said to be especially valuable for
this disease.
Rosette Is contagious disease for
which no positive remedy has yet
been found. The cause of the disease
is unknown and the best remedy is to
dig up and destroy the tree.

serious disease of the peach. It ap-

gave him a million and showed him

on Percy planned to make Lottie a
star. She promised him she'd marry

hired a staff Of authors to study her
at close range and write something to

a scenic shop. hired press agents,

PRACTISE OF THINNING FRUIT
Of Great Value When Crop on Tree
10 Too Largo for Normal Matur-
Ity-lncreases Quality.

When crop on tree is too largo
for normal maturity, thinning is OF
value, and should always be given.
Under such conditions II increases the
size of the fruits; avoids breakage of
the tree; reduces drain on both
tree and soil by avoiding unnecessary
seed production; and probably in
creases quality by affording opportuni-
ty for normal development.
1t also doubtless tends to increase
the crop of succeeding years, though
this has not yet been actually proved
experimentally. When needed, thin
ming should be done as soon as DOS
sible after the June crop Is largely
over. In some localities, later thin
nings are also made as the demand
arises. giving special attention to the
removal of defective fruits, so that
the crop at picking time is practically
all nrst grade. = Pennsylvania Sta

are exact descriptions of what would
take place In case a slight earthquake
had released and ignited some Of the
reservoirs Of gas and oil which we
know have been imprisoned in that
region.
1t Is only In recent years that we
have come to know much about such
reservoirs. At the present time they
are frequently penetrated in the Rus.
sian oil field at Baku on the Caspian
sea. Occasionally there a reservoir
is struck in drilling which spouts
forth 100000 barrels OF OIL day. Some
times three such wells have taken fire
and been burning at once. the ignit-
ed material rising In column hun

spray being carried to points several
miles distant. the sulphurous particles
falling down upon ships and houses

of well in Mexico that spouted out
100000 barrels day. 1t is almost in

distinguished scientists, told me
that he had seen the pressure gauge

HosoitaIs for the Sick.

The contention that hospitals for
the care of the sick and infirm are the
product Of Christianity Is probably
correct. Although in ancient times
there may have been places for the
reception of strangers and travellers, 1t
is quite doubtful II there was any
thing of the nature of charitable In
situations for the reception and regu-
lar care of the sick. The Bethesda
of Scripture was probably no moro
than a collection of sheds built round
the ports of alleged miraculous pools.
Among the Greeks and Romans there

ut Is a belief in the Bible, the fruit
of deep meditation, which has served
me as the guide of my moral and lit
erary fe."-Goethe.
The law of Sinai has not been re-
pealed nor the Sermon on the Mount
superseded Who is audacious enough
to add to the Ten Commandments or
who dares to remove single Thou
shalt not?" Every vital virtue is
here implied and every cardinal sin is
here condemned. With all our prog
ress in education and morals, men
cannot improve upon these command
ments. Men may continue to break
them, but we may question any mans
right to amend them. 1t Is remark
able that this code Of morals has
stood the test of over 5000 years.
There are those today who under q
mistaken sense Of freedom seek to ig-
more and often endeavor to have 9TH
ers ignore them, but the very ss.abil-
ity of government and home, as well
as the rights of all individuals, are
bound up in their observance. Mans
attitude toward God and his relations
to men are set forth here with amaz-
ing wisdom and with unsurpassed au-
thority.
Thou shalt not bear false witness"
Thou shalt not steal"
Thou shalt not murder"
Thou shalt not commit adultery"
Thou shalt not covet."
How these strike at the very heat
of modern sins. To omit even one
from the category Is to bring ruin
down upon home and heart; and ye
today In much of our literature, In
popular plays, and in the utterances
Of would-be prophets OF the new day,
we hear and see 80 much at vari-
ance with these fundamental! laws.
Never has there been a greater need
In this country for men and women
to bark back to these utterances thun-
dered from Sinai and craven on tables
Of stone. The light regard for hui
man life, the disregard for rights OF
property. the preaching of easy virtue,
the lessening of the sanctity Of the
marriage bond, and the feverish greed
of covetous men, all proclaim that the
redemption of society, the publication
of the home, tho sanctity Of property
and person, must be obtained through
the observance of the ethics of the,
Ten Commandments and their wider
application as expressed In the Ser
mon on the Mount. In the light OF
these great commandments which con-
stitute the worlds greatest authority
in the realm of morals, all attempts
to condone and extenuate the sins
here condemned should be met with a
storm of protest by those who love
the nation and the home.
