A W. Hobbs of 1901 East Main

The first evidence that usually
comes to the orchardist indicating the
presence of the shot-hole borer in his
trees is the dying back Of limbs; or
the weakening or death of whole trees.
AS the tree is examined, it Is found
that the bark is peppered with tiny,
round holes, each one not more than
the twentieth of an inch in diameter.
1t is from this characteristic sign that
the pest gets its name.
Sometimes the numerous tiny holes
are seen in the bark of apparently
healthy trees, and in such cases there
may be little drops of gum at each
hole. This is especially true where
peach, plum or cherry are attacked,
because of the propensity of these
trees to bleed when injured. But If,
as is often the case, the tree is weak
ened or dying when examined, there
will be no gum and each hole will be
clean cut.
Each of the little round holes rep
resents the point at which an adult
beetle cut it's way out from the sap
wood, where it has been going through
part of it's life cycle as a small grub.
BY removing a piece of the peppered
bark the characteristic burrows of the
grubs will be revealed. 1t will be
found then that there is a short main

lection, until an improved type is
produced.
Coaxing a calf to drink is easier
than pushing its head intc a pail and
holding II there. When we wet the
fingers and coax its head into the pail,
il will soon drink of its own accord.
More milk to the acre and MT more
milk to the COW should be the aim OF
the successful dairy farmer.

and running more or less in the same
direction as the grain of the wood.
From each side Of this a number Of
small channels lead off at right angles,
gradually charging and diverging, and
finally wandering about, to end sud
denly in round cell.
The beetles begin cutting their way
out fairly early in the spring and soon
afterward the females are at work
making the brood chambers and lay
ing eggs. In the South there may be
four generations in the course OF the
summer; in the North, probably only
three. The last generation remains
within the burrows until the following
spring
This makes clear the principal
means for fighting these pests-to
watch sharply for evidences of their
work, and at once cut out and burn
the limbs or branches attacked. If
an entire tree is infested and dying, it
should at once come out and be
burned. Too much emphasis cannot
be placed on the burning of such trees
and limbs. If limb or branch is cut
down and Is left lying on the ground,
the damage may readily be increased.
Burn every part of tree infested with
the shot-hole borer and keep the
orchard clear of rubbish.

MUCH ADVANTAGE In
FEEDING OF ROOTS
They Push Ewes Easily and Nat
uralIy to Strong and Healthy
Flow of Milk.

The use of roots is productive Of
great good to the eve flock. They are
succulent and start a natural milk
flow, whereas grain naturally goes
more TO producing flesh and fat.
There is no danger of the ewes con-
Stunning too many roots. They push
her easily and naturally to a strong
flow of milk that has very healthy
properties.
Ewes highly fed on grain often give
milk that is injurious to their lambs.
or this there is no danger when roots
are substituted in large part for the
grain.
The shepherd who can readily grow
roots has distinct advantage over
the one who relies upon dry nay and
grain for wintering his eve flock. Most

seen at our fall shows, come from

BY this it should not be understood
that care is not necessary in the me-
chanical operation of pruning. 1t is
important that large limbs be removed
with great care and the wounds paint
ed to prevent the entrance of fungi
which will induce decay.
Avoid all crotches that will have a
tendency to split down or break when
the trees become loaded with heavy
fruits, or sleet and ice. If bad
crotches cannot be avoided they
should be strengthened with iron bolts
to prevent them from breaking and
running the tree.

WILL TRY TO LOWER PRICES.
Popular Habits and Cost of Living
to be Discussed.

A Congress has been called for
October &c, 81, and %, at Chicago, to
formulate program for reducing the
cost Of living. There is undoubtedly
much that can be done to lower pri-
ces through a more economical dis
tribution of food products. But liv-
ing costs are so affected by popular
habits and whims that no economic
program can wholly meet the situa-
ton.
A friend from another town was
giving little illustration of this as
he saw it on his vacation. Having talk
en- cottage at a summer resort, and
as summer resort prices are commonly
high, he thought his living costs
would be more than at home. But
they proved to be lower. Meats in
particular did not seem to cost much
more than half as much as at home.
In his home town the meat and
grocery business is carried on by Il
large number Of small stores. They
rarely advertise their goods, and are
content to run along in a small way
having to get good prices to pay ex-
penses.
At the summer resort the grocery
and meat business was mostly done
by large ablishment. The summer
people came to the store, paid cash,
and carried away all but very heavy
bad debts to charge up to paying GUS
toners. No wonder it could and did
sell cheap.
The American town concentrates
its places of business in a congested
district, where a heavy rental must
: be paid. 1t all comes out of the con-
sumner. If people were only willing
to walk little more, a store could
locate a little out of the center and
Geduce its rental charge. AS mat
ter of fact, this is frequently done
by advertising freely to draw the
people to the store, but some mer-
chants do not realize how easily that
can be accomplished.
The Cost of Living Congress, there
fore, confronts not merely awkward
and primitive systems of distribution,
but certain popular habits and indo-
lences that are a big factor in this
problem.

Cost of Keeping "a Horse.

The cost of keeping a horse for a
year on a farm is much more than
many persons usually suppose. In an
estimate of such cost it was found
that horse weighing 1900 pounds
and kept at moderately hard work
costs $75 year for board. Foods, of
course are usually higher in some
places than others, where it would
not cost so much. Taking one horse
with another, as kept on our farms,
and allowing for the period of idle
ness in the winter season, the cost to
keep would not be more probably
than $50 Larger horses would, how
ever, cost relatively more than those
of lighter weight.

world with silver spoon in your
mouth. Don't worry because you do
not have a rich father. Don't grieve
over the thought that poverty is your
worst handicap. The most success
ful captains Of industry in this
country came into the world as poor
as you are, some of them much
poorer, but they had plenty of cap
ital of the best kind. If you havn't
it, it is probably your own fault.
Better than money and inheritance,
settled income or bank account,
for the young man who wishes to
succeed in business, is his health.
That is the foundation of all things

happiness is concerned. If, togeth-
err with health you have character,

you have the things that constitute
the most valuable capital with which

COST IOWA PRIMARIES.
Average County Spends From $4,000
to $500 on Each Campaign.

A. ]. Small, state law librarian,
has compiled statistics showing the
cost of the election and primaries
in the counties of the state for the
years 1910, 1912 and 1914. Not all
of the counties reported but complete
statistics of all of the counties ex-
cept Warren are shown in the report.
The information is being published
in the official red book gotten out by
the secretary of states office.
The average county spends from
$4,000 to $4,000, on the primary and
the election. The counties which in
clude cities of considerable popula-
ton of course spend the most. Polk
county in 1914 spent over $13, 900 on
its election and primary, being the
largest amount spent by any county
in the state. OF this amount $4,000
was spent on the primary and $1,000
on the election. Scott county spent
the next largest sum, the election
costing $5,343,S5 and the primary
$3,403.43, making total of S.
.747.2S. Pottawattamie county spent
$6,341.74, of which $3,76O was for
the election and $2,5S0.S6 for the
primary. Woodbury. county spent
S,666.51, ranking just trifie below
Scott on the amount expended in
1914 Dubuque county spent, $6,582-
81, Blackhawk $5,632.22 and Mar
shall $5,371.39.
Hancock county spent only $1,255-
80 on the election and primaries in
l1914, being the smallest amount
reported by any county. Worth ceun-
ty spent $1,000; Emmett, $1,69O;
Audubon, $1,777.46; Dickinson, S2,-
900. A number of counties spent
around $4,000.
This is the first time such com
! pilation has been made and it affords
some interesting figures for compari-
son. Some of the reports show that
1.-THE primaries cost more than the
election. Next year there will be two
primaries, the preferential presiden-
tial primaries on the second Monday
in April and the June primaries. Then
the election in November will be the
general election which requires more
printing and supplies and is therefore
more costly than the average cleo
ton.
