FACES TREASON CHARGE
Harry u. Wilson, Recently Clerk dp
Consulate, Accused Of Aiding Brit
on to Escape.


Washington, July 2S.-Harry L.
Wilson, of Portland, Ore, recently a
clerk in the American consulate at
Berlin and now under arrest here,
faces charges state department off,
cials consider extremely serious.
Wilson ostensibly was detained for
attempting to leave Germany without
a passport. The real complaint
against him, however, according to
information forwarded to Washing
ton, is that he aided a British soldier
to obtain passport, asserting that
he knew the applicant to be an Amer
lean citizen.
Unlike diplomatic representatives,
consular agents are extended no i'm
munities or exemption from prosecu-
ton for offenses committed in an
other country. If Wilson's offense
should be proved as charged it would
constitute treason.

MAKING SPRAYING LESS DIFFFT.
CULT.
Suggestions for Preparing Bordeaux
Mixture That Will Remove Un.
pleasant Features.

Clemson College, July 27.-At this
season Of the year, every up-to-date
farmer and gardner has occasion to
use Bordeaux mixture every few
days. The making and using of Bor-
deaux is a pleasure If gone about in
the right way, but if not done as it
should be it is about as dirty and dis
agreeable a task as one can imagine.
The first necessity is that Of keep
ing stock solutions on hand. II a man
has to take the trouble to dissolve
blue stone and hunt up good stone
lime and slack it every time he wants
to spray few plants. the garden and
orchard are certain to go unsprayed.
On the other hand, If he dissolves as
much blue stone and slakes as much
lime as he wants to use during the
season and keeps them as stock solu-
tions, he will find that it takes only q
few minutes to make up any amount
OF spray mixture that he wants.
When lime is slaked and kept COW
cred with water. it remains good in
definitely for making Bordeaux. Slake
the lime and make it up to a known
volume per pound of quick lime used
and store in glass or earthen vessels.
The botany division Of Clemson Col
lege slakes one or two pounds to the
gallon and puts it in fruit jars or
large mouthed bottles. Dissolve blue
stone and store in the same way and
then when you want Bordeaux mix
ture, all you have to do Is to dilute the
stock solutions to the proper strength
and pour together. Make up enough
stock solution to last through a sea-
son.
A great many people object to
spraying because they dislike to get
the spray mixture on their hands.
This is disagreeable. but If you will
remember that both Bordeaux and
lime sulphur are alkaline mixtures
and will wash your hands thoroughly
In vinegar or some other weak acid
when you have finished spraying. no
stains or burns will result.

MAIN ADVANTAGES
OF "HOGGING" CORN
Practice to Be Profitable Must
Be Rightly Managed-TrialS
at Missouri Station.
(By L. A. WEAVER. Missouri Expert
ment StationO

(By L. A. WEAVER. Missouri Expert,
ment Statlon.)
1t will pay to hog down corn. This
has been shown by the Missouri agri
cultural experiment station and has
been done profitably by a large mum
ber Of feeders.
The main advantages are: ~ The
hogs make rapid and more economical
gains; (2) 1t saves the labor of har.
vesting; (S) the manure is returned
to the land without loss and without
labor; (4) the place of feeding is
more sanitary than the ordinary feed
lot; (5) the grain is harvested with.
out waste.
Eleven trials with hogging down
corn at the Missouri agricultural ex.
pertinent station have shown that
there is no better way of finishing
hogs than by allowing them to do
their own harvesting. To be profit
able, however, the practice must be
rightly managed. The hogs should be
given access at one time to what they
will clean up in ten days or two weeks,
This insures fresh forage and they
will clean it up we'll as they go. A
cheap, efficient. temporary fence is
made with woven wire.
Get the hogs on a full feed of new
corn before turning them into the
field by cutting a few stalks at first
and increasing gradually. The corn is
in good condition to turn into when
the dent has Just formed in the
kernel.
For best results the hogs doing their
own harvesting should receive somI
feed in addition to the corn. This
supplement may be supplied with
crops like rape, soy beans, ETC., which
should have been grown in the corn
field that is to be harvested. II no
such crops have been planted a small
amount of some feed like tankage
| should be fed.

developed under similar environment
until they have become accustomed
to that kind Of treatment more than
the refined and more delicately organ
lied breeds of dairy cattle.
On the other hand the man who
has rich and luxuriant pastures and
keeps his herd UP to very near their
full capacity at all times of the year,
and who is producing milk for the
general market, faces different propo.
sition, and will find that the Holstein
breed, or grades of that breed, the
best adapted for his dairy needs.
It is useless for me to continue to
present evidence In favor of keeping
better cows. But one thing worthy
to note is the fact that the man who
has built up a profitable herd is at
all times alert to secure better COWS
to increase his income.
On the other hand the man with
the Improbable herd has but little
ambition to inform himself in regard
to his business or improve the quality
of his COWS.
He does not believe in dairy litera-
ture, or that other COWS might do bet
ter on his farm than his own. This
class of man is doing more to dis.
courage the dairy business than any
other.
One of the most severe losses con-
nected with the dairy business is the
loss which comes from discarding un-
profitable COWS. The man who de-
pends upon buying COWS to take the
place Of those that he finds unprofit-
able is up against one of the knot
tiest and most perplexing problems
connected with the management Of
the dairy-that of going out and buy
ing good cows to take the place of the
ones sold from his herd.
In the production of milk for the
city trade, have found that the pur-
chase Of COWS is attended by risk and
disappointment even by men who are
qualified to make selections.
Cows are sold for some reason and
have found to my sorrow that among
these are lack Of constitution and
vigor; lack of capacity as feeders;
bad habits, such as holding up their
milk; defective udders; hard milking.

(By w. MlATON kELLHD
There is no denying the fact that
too many dairymen are carrying their
business at a loss and occasional in
stances of a marked success in the
business appear to indicate that dairy
ing can be put on paying basis.
There are many things that COM
mend dairying to the farmer, among
which may be named certainty of
getting good prices for the products
Of the farm and the elimination of the
speculative element which surrounds
growing and marketing other prod
ucts.
To conduct dairy farm at a profit,
we must feed good cows. They should
be good individuals and selected from
the breed which is best adapted to
the particular branch of dairying that
Is being made our specially and to
the conditions of our farms.
No one breed or type is adapted to
all conditions, else there would be
little need for so much diversity of
size, conformation and quality of prod
uct.
For the economical production Of
butter and cream (or of very rich
milk that is suitable for fancy trade)
1t is best to keep Jerseys or Guern-
seys, that is, providing, of course, that
we will give them the care and treat
ment they are accustomed on their
native land.
Jersey and Guernsey cows produce
less milk solids, other than fat stkis
enabling them to turn larger proper
tions of their food and energy into the
production Of the desired product
than cows of breeds which yield a
larger quantity Of milk deficient in
butterfat.
On certain farms where the pas
ture is scant or where the land is
rough and rolling, and where sum-
mer dairying is practiced, that COW
which is capable of doing the best
work under such conditions would be
the best adapted to the economy of
the dairy.
For such a farm the man would
best select the Ayrshire, Or high
grades of that breed. They have been

USE PATIENCE WITH CALVES
Young Animals Must Be Handled Care
fully-can Be Taught to Drink
Milk Very Easily.

Handle the newborn calf as you
would a baby.
First of all, keep 1t warm, and be
sure it gets its first milk warm from
its mother.
Keep it clean and keep the mother
free from excitement.
If you separate the calf from its
mother on the third day, give it the
milk warm from its mother.
With little kindness and patience,
young calves can be taught to drink
very easily.
Never jam a calrs head up to its
eyes in milk-it is cruel.
Let the calf suck the finger; care
fully release the finger, and the Job is
done.
