A PROLIFIC
SOURCE OF FOREST FIRES.

Exhaustive inquiry has estab-
lished the fact that lightning ranks
next to railroads as a source of for
est fires. Forest officers say that
the increasing care with fire on the
part of the railroads and the public
generally tends to make lightning
the largest single contributing cause
This statement represents a
change of view from that held less
than a decade ago in this country,
when forest journals gravely argued
whether lightning caused forest
fires, though it was known that
trees were the objects most often
struck. Trees are said to be often
est struck simply because they are
so numerous, and extending upward
they shorten the distance between
the ground and the clouds; further,
their branches in the air and roots
well into the earth invite electrical
discharges.
While certain trees are said to in
vite lightning, and others to be i'm
mune from stroke, it seems to be a
fact that any kind of tree will be
struck, and the most numerous tree

peatedly demonstrated that a single
early application of either lime and
sulphur solution, or Bordeaux mixture
will satisfactorily control this disease.
Important Factors.
% Time of application:
In general it is desirable to spray
before the buds start, or swell in the
spring. Spray before the rain periods,
not after.
(2) Be careful to cover every twig
on the tree.
CD Materials and strengths (either
one is equally effective):
Copper sulphate, 2 pounds; water
to make so gallons. Or
Lime sulphur, 2 gallons; water to
make 40 gallons.
Conclusions.
Since the San Jose Scale is in this
district, it would be good precau-
tionary measure to go over all the
peach trees this spring and give them
a good thorough application of spray
mixtures as recommended.

The Barn

cred that some of his cows were not
paying their board and sold them to
the butcher.
Natures memorable law that like
produces like works all the time. The
heifer calf from a good milking fam
lily on both sides is valuable cow in
the future.
He who undertakes to run a large
dairy without financial means to prop
erly care for his stock is making Il
serious mistake. In such a case it
is better policy to sell half the herd
and care for the remainder as they
should be cared for There will be
more profit in the business.
AS long as your wife does all the
milking it is dangerous to boast about
what good dairyman you are.
A pound of grain consumed by a
good cow will produce more profit
than when fed to a steer for beef
This is fattening 1t is fact.
The dairy farmer who wishes to
confine his work to pure bred stock
should select one breed and stick to
it. Make a study of that breed.
Regularity and good care has ever
greater influence upon a COW thar
the kind of feed she consumes provid
ing she obtains a sufficient supply.
The farmer engaged in diversified
farming has the least to worry about
crops failing, especially if he is en-
gagged quite extensively in the dairy
business.
Every old COW able to chew her cue
will soon be giving milk by the pal
full.

Peach Leaf Curl

Next to the apple, the peach is the
fruit of the greatest commercial i'm
portance in the state of Michigan.
Leaf curl is now a more or less
common disease in nearly all peach
growing regions of the world. The
effect of the disease upon the fruit
crop and upon the vitality of the tree
appears to depend not only upon the
extent and severity of the attack, but

other varieties. The early Crawford

MEDIATION! FOR WHAT?

Now they are trying Mediation
anything and everything to rescue
from the fire the foreign investors
chestnuts and impose on the rebel
lious Mexican peasant a good strong
government which shall take care of
him.
That is precisely what he does not
want. He wants to be in position
where he can take care of himself,
and for that he wants possession of
the land.
Consider who those new interven-
ers are. The Argentine minister, de-
scribed as "a diplomat of wide ex-
rerience; an international lawyer"
The Brazilian ambassador, a trained
diplomat" The Chilean envoy, "for
some years Chilean minister at Mex
leo City" Frock-coated, uniform-be-
spangled idlers, who have as much in
common with the toiling peasant as
the lamb has with the famished wolf.
Not by any such hocus-pocus can
this fundamental question of the right
to a free and equal seat at natures
Overlooking banquet-table be settled.
AS for good government! We have
had our bellyful of it in these United
States. It's name is Roosevelt-the
hardest taskmaster the disinherited
could have. Woodrow Wilson is his
logical successor.-Wm G. owen in

The National Honor
