Season on One Golf Ball.

To the ordinary golf enthusiast
whose expenses for lost balls are US
ually the chief items unless he be a
liberal patron of caddies or the club
veranda, the feat of a member of the
New York Newspaper Golf club may
seem miraculous. This man began
playing at Van Cortlandt park as soon
as the grounds were opened last May,
and ha started the season with three
balls. One Of them was Immediately
borrowed" by a friend. The second
was stolen the next day by a prowling
youth, who made off before the owner
could recover his property This left
the golfer with one ball. Although he
never failed to play at least FIVE DAYS
a week since May Is, this man still
has the identical bail with which he
began the season and with which he
has done all his playing so far. AS
a result of careful playing the ball Is

Indeed, too much importance cannot
be attached to the sprayings for fruit
protection against insects and disease.
Often the whole crop IS lost through
injury by Curculio, followed by Brown
Rot. The Curculio winters in the
adult stage, appearing just as the foil
age develops on peaches and plumS.
1t feeds upon the foliage for a little
while, then, the female beetle, laying
her eggs, does the principal injury to
the fruit by making a semi-circular
cut in which its eggs are laid. The
egg matches in short time and the
small larva makes its way into the
center of the fruit and there develops.
The fruit rots and drops, the larva,
escaping into the ground and later de-.
veloping into the adult beetle.
The beetle is controlled by spraying
with Arsenate of Lead at the rate of
pounds to so gallons of water. This
poison is usually combined with the
self-boiled lime sulphur wash, fungi.
eide which will control Brown Rot.
The self-boiled lime sulphur is made
by shaking pounds of lime in sufn-
cient amount of water, and adding 8
pounds of sulphur when the lime be-
gins 10 SLACK. / ne mixture must Dc
kept stirred and the water added as
needed, to keep pasty condition until
the lime is all slaked. The heat gen.
Grated by the shaking lime causes the
sulphur to mix physically with the lime
in very fine state, but should not be
continued long enough to form much
of a sulphide compound as shown by
the mixture taking on yellow or brown
color The mixture IS then strained
into the spray barrel and the arsenate
of lead added.
CAUTION:-The Concentrated Lime
Sulphur Solution, such as is used in
dormant or early spring spraying
should not be used on peach or plum
foliage under any circumstances.
Where Brown Rot has previously ap.
peared, the first application Of the
above mixture should be made Just
after the fruit sets and before the
shucks are off the peaches. A second
application two weeks later is very
necessary and a third treatment a
month before the fruit is ripe is very
desirable. Not only will this treat
ment prevent injury from CurCuliO and
Brown Rot, but also from Peach Scab
and other diseases.

MEXICO LOSING ITS
WEALTH IN REVOLT
Statistics Show Need Of a
Stable Government.

Washington. - Consul Theodore G.
Hamm sends to the department of
commerce from Durango Il striking ar
ray of facts showing the necessity for
ending the Mexican revolution and re-
establishing a stable form OF govern
ment in that republic.
For example, the state of Durango
in 1913 was favored with abundant
and seasOnable rains, inSuring fine
crops of all staple farm products un-
der ordinary conditions, but not more
than twO-thirds of the usual acreage
was planted, and not more than 10
per cent of the crops planted were
gathered by the rightful owners of the
land, the remainder being appropriate
ed for military purposes or harvested
by others than the rightful owners on
account of lawless conditions. OF
Chile peppers. for instance, the export
was only $4,000 as against $4,000 to
$4,000 in normal years.
The cotton yield, says the consul,
was phenomenal in the famous La
guna district of eastern Durango and
southwestern Coahuila. along the Ma
gas river-12O,O00 bales, worth $780,,
600. Half the crop is still in the
warehouses at Torreon. and the other
half was shipped to the United States
at sacrifice instead of being sent, as
ordinarily. to the cotton factories in
southern Mexico The exports to the
United States from Durango In the
last year were $2,254.OOO as against
S9,731 900 in 1912.
The railways to the gulf have not
been In operation in 1914, and all trade
is paralyzed. Torreon in times of
peace is busy interior manufacturing

N. j.
In the city of Mazatlan. state of ST.
naloa. on the Pacific, United States
Consul w. e. Alger reports, the ex-
ports to the United States in 1913 fell
off almost 100000, or 20 per cent
Eggs are now selling there at cents
apiece, milk at 80 cents quart, fuel
at four and FIVE times the usual price
and all other articles in proportion
Two of the three banks have closed,
and all business is suspended. There
was no railroad service in 1913 from
March to Dec. 81, and but for the
numerous arrivals and departures of
American war vessels there would
have been scant mail facilities even
by water.

WHAT TO PAY FOR YOUR FERTI
LlZER
How To Figure the Cash Value OF q
Fertilizer From the Analysis Given.
W. E. HANGER,
Maryland Agricultural Experiment
Station.

When we buy commercial fertilizer
we are buying food for our crops just
as We buy feeds for our livestock. Its
value per ton to us depends largely on
the kind Of materials used in its make
up. Fertilizers are generally spoken
of as Pa or 1875 fertilizers according
10 their analysis, which means in the
ease Of the Pa fertilizer that it con.
tains per cent, Nitrogen, per cent
Phosphoric Acid. and 4 per cent. Pot,
ash 50 when we have the analysis
given, we ought to have good idea OF
what ton Of fertilizer is worth.
A simple and certain rule to follow
10 to multiply the per cent. of nitrogen
by three, which in this case would be
2 times 8 or s. Then add to this fig.
ure the per cent. available of Phos.
phoric Acid and that of Potash, which
would mean with 2-S-4 fertilizer, s
plus plus or IS. By placing the
dollar sign before this last figure,
giving us SIS, you will have the ap'
proximate cash value of 2-S-4 ferti.
'izer If the amount of ammonia is
given instead of the nitrogen multiply
the per cent of ammonia by 2b in
stead of 5.
To the value of the fertilizer we
must add the cost of mixing the ma
tegials which is commonly reckoned at
SIS a ton and this added to $18 will
give $23 or close to what the selling
price Of a 2-8-4 fertilizer ought to be-
We Of course take it for granted that
The fertilizer offered is up to its guar
antee If you have any doubts, yov
should write to the State Chemist al
College Park for the standing of the
fertilizer you think OF buying.

Same Old Discomfort

A recent English traveller in 3alu-
chistan had from holy man in that
country story about Moses which
does not appear In the Scriptures, yet
which has its pertinence to this mat
ter of politicians proposing to do away
with all the evils of the human lot,
says the Century Magazine The pat
riarch was sitting in his house very
sad, and the Lord said to him:
Prophet Moses, why art thou cast
down." "Alas!" said he, 81 see so
many people sorrowful. Some are un-
clothed, and some are hungry. l pray
thee make all happy and contented."
The Lord promised it should be so.
But soon Moses was again discon-
solate, and once more the Lord asked
the cause. Lord" cried the prophet.
the upper story of my house has
fallen down and nobody will come to
mend it; they are all too busy enjoy
ing themselves" But what am l to
do?" Lord, make the people as they
we're before!"

RUNAWAY HOGS ARE "WILD."
Farmers Can Make Them Pork Only
by Shooting.

Ben, Ark.-G. 3. Lewis. a farmer
living near this place. killed two wild
hogs which ran away from his place
in 1910. The hogs were not full growt
when they left and went away to the
range, since when all efforts to get
them had been futile until recently,
when he found them in the forest and
shot them at distance of about 100
yards. He has three more hogs that
are also in the forest
The hogs go in punches in the woods
and are as hard to find and kill as
deer.
They are afraid of men and will run
from them, but have no fear of dogs
and will attack them. The two hogs
killed by Lewis dressed about 200
pounds each.
