ana diseases win hands down.
Last year MT r. A. Jay Of the Ohio
experiment station took charge OF q
neighborhood spraying club in Greene
county and did things which ought to
interest every orchard owner.
TWO mon and q power sprayer were
hired by q club to spray eight small
orchards owned by the members.
Three applications were given each
orchard. The first was lime-sulphur,
one gallon of the solution to gall
Ions OF water just before the buds
opened; the second spray was one gall
lon OF lime sulphur with fifty gallons
OF water and three pounds OF arsenatc
OF lead paste Just after the blossoms
fell; the third was ten days after the
second. using the same materials.
In these three sprayings 427 gallons
OF undiluted lime-sulphur solution and
14s pounds Of arsenate Of lead were
used on 500 apple trees. The average
total cost was ~ cents q tree. This
would be covered by about one bushel
additional production OF good apples.
The power sprayer and two men
could have taken care Of from 1000 to
1900 trees in orchards OF from 50 to
100 trees each.
One member Of this spraying club,
Mr. Ferguson, sold his crop in Dayton,
O.. for from IS cents to 81 bushel
when apples brought 65 cents. Some
single trees he sold unpicked for SIS
each.
Another member. Mr.. Barrett, sold
most Of his apples for 81 a>bushel.
Mr.. Sharp, another member, sold an
early summer variety which had never
borne before, for 81 bushel.
Still another sold his Grimes Goldens
from about a half dozen trees for SIS.
Three of his Rome Beauty trees got
only the first spray and brought to
maturity only about two bushels Of in
ferior apples each. The trees sprayed
three times averaged ten to twelve
bushels.
These spray-club members were 50
well pleased that they are continuing
the club work this season.

sora shouldara7

Loose collars make more sore shoul-
ders than tight ones. Use rather LONG
names, and squeeze the collar snug
against the sides Of the neck. Lift the
collar up once in a while and let the
breeze cool the shoulders on, just as
you lift your hat to let the wind blow
on your brow. Unharness at noon. and
wash the shoulders with cold water at
night. Get along without q sweat pad.
Don't let the name get under the col
lar and see that it isn't wadded under
the pad at the top Of the collar.

THE BROWN THRAsHER.
rClintOn Herald.1

The thrush and catbird are great
singers and may be knocking all right,
but we fail to detect the knocking bird
part OF 1t. They sit up In q bush or in
a tree and. pour out a jargon OF songs
or cries, but we have to strain our Inn
agination II we detect any imitation OF
another birds call or note. Once in q
great while one OF them gets of q rip
pie that sounds something like robin
and once In q while you might catch
q purple martins screech in that
thrusfi's song, but it Is very poor
imitation II 1t Is intended for that.
Just listen to the next one you hear,

JUST A PLAIN CROOK.

Much sentiment IL being wasted by
newspaper editorial writers upon q
certain Homer Newman, a college
graduate who sandbaSged q San Fran
csico citizen and robbed him. allegedly
to procure money to buy food. The cul-
prit in admitting the act said that he
could not find honest employment and
took this unlawful method Of saving
himself from starvation. Il Was hungry
and became brute Of many thou
sand years ago." glibly explained the
prisoner and the remark was taken up
ton Of much mushy sentiment in all

parts OF the country. The trouble with
Newman is that he Is Just . plain
crook. Had he not been a plain crook
he would not have taken q chance OF
killing man to get a square meal.
There IL no necessity for man be-
coming q lawbreaker to get something
to eat in this country. A plain state
ment Of his desperate plight at any
police station would procure him suffi-
cient food. Justifying any unlawful act
with cave dweller defense will not
find much sympathy in these days.
There are too many Homer Newmans.

Stallion. to Id Scarce.

Who knows how many pure bred
draft stations there are in service in
the United States? The figures are
not available but they are not very i'm
portant. The important thing Is that
there are about 100000 mares, and
the supply Of pure-b bred studs from
abroad is cut of.
What does this amount to? It
amounts to good deal. A certain
number of new stations come OF age
every spring to take the place Of those
which drop out of the breeding ranks.
We have been importing about 5000
pure-bred horses year. or these
probably from 1000 to 5000 have been
stations
Our homegrown supply has been
about 5000 young stations each year.
That is, we have been adding to the
stations in service more every year by
importation than by our own breeding.
This foreign supply IL cut OF perman-
emily 1t seems.
Can the breeders 30 use their pure
bred stock as to meet the occasion
Undoubtedly they can do much.
Every pure-bred mare should be
bred.
The old stations should be carefully
used over longer breeding season.
We must not go back to scrubs: and
as for the pure-breds, II we are to have
them we must breed them.
Probably we shall get out Of this d.
lemma strains OF American pure bred
horses better adapted to our conditions
than tho imported ones have been.

A BOUQUET FOR COSSON.
THo plar Pop,,hlfcon


The thing for dry republicans to do
would seem to be that they should
concentrate on Attorney General Co.'S
son. He has the wider reputation as
a dry and would be platform Of HIM
self. His reputation as law enforcer
is greater than that OF perhaps any
other state official in the nation. The
red light law framed by him and
adopted by the last two legislatures
has been copied by sixteen states. His
work for law enforcement. including
the prohibitory law, establishes his
character in this particular respect
above that of any other citizen Of the
state. His record in all other respects
is also that OF Conscientious earnest,
dependable friend Of the people Of the
state and their best interests as af
fected by the state government. Sena-
tor Allen is also good man In every
way. He falls short Of Cosson only in
that he is not so well known, and he
lacks the reputation Of possessing Cos
sons ability ard willingness to stand
squarely up to the demands which will
be made upon the governor under the
new law and conditions. The editor Of
this paper is a dry; he appreciates
the necessity of having but one can
didate before the primary; and he
suggests the advisability Of eliminat-
ing all candidates but Cosson for the
reasons here given. The necessity for
having but one dry candidate at the
primary must appeal to all drys. even
to all dry candidates. 1t is UP to the
drys TO determine, in advance of the
primary which gentleman shall be the
one.

FOUL AIR IN RAILROAD CARS.

been investigating the matter has
come to the conclusion that the loss
Of life in train wrecks and accidents
of various kinds is q negligible guam
tity compared with the loss Of life that
results from poor ventilation Of cars
To be poisoned by foul air, the kind
that Is present in so many railroad
coaches Is a worse death than to be
pinned under break beam, and be
burned to a slow death We had not
thought that the lack Of pure air In
cars was SO extensive an evil, but one
breath in some coaches has been
enough to sicken many woman and
even some men. To think Of admit
ting to your lungs some OF the air that
Is accumulated for public consump-
ton on trains is disgusting. But how
are such evils to be remedied? Even
when the coaches are equipped with
ventilators they have to be manipulate
ed by trainmen who are apt to be
negligent and who are often ignorant
OF their duties. Tho Amor american lean travel
ing public always has few members
on board who insist on closed cars
because they imagine they are sub
1ect to cold draughts. These squeam-
ish and cold blooded ones are apt to
make whole coach loads miserable
in order that they may feel comfort
able themselves. There are actually
human beings who dread fresh air az
much as others dread poisons and
rattle snakes. Between these con-
tending forces the train man, 1t must
be confessed, also often has his hands
full Of troubles.
