HAVE COMPANY TO PIPE IT.
Detroit Man Has Great Dream and
Seeks to Have Municipalities on
Lake Michigan Join With Him in
Plan Mayors Answer not Ready.

E
Kenosha has eaten lot of Lake Su-
perior whitefish and has liked them
and now a proposition is being made to
furnish the people Of Kenosha with lake
Superior water for general consumption.
Whether it would meet with the same
reception as the whitefsh remains to
be seen. The mayor has received let
ter from Detroit man who is working
out plan to furnish water from
Lake Superior to many cities and he is
IN a quandary as to just how to an
swer it.
With a deal on for the building of a
new intake and filtration plant Kenosha
will hardly be in a position to accept
the suggestion of the Detroit man. 1t
is thought certain that with filtration
and an intake pretty well out into the
lake that the Kenosha water from Lake
Michigan would be just about as good
and possibly lot better than water
brought from Lake Superior.

Kenosha Mayor this morning:
P. M Jacobsen,
Detroit. Michigan.
September 9, 1915.
To His Honor Matthias ;. Scholey,
Mayor of Kenosha, Wisconsin
Dear Sir:
A group of capitalists with whom
/ am associated is figuring on the feast
bility of supplying Lake Superior wa
ter to all cities within a practical dis
lance. If the plan is carried out would
it be in your opinion reasonable to
expect that your city would contract
for its water supplya
p NJ. Jacobsen.
References-Any bank in the city of
Detroit.
Mayor Scholey has not replied to
the letter and he az ] not propose to do
so until he has taken up this PROPOSE
ton with the board of water commits
sioners. Speaking about the PROPOSE
ton an expert said:
81 Lake Superior water is regarded as
the most pure water obtainable from
any of the Great Lakes. Inasmuch as
its lake level is many feet higher than
the lake level of Lake Michigan, it is to
be presumed that the capitalists hope
to be able to supply Kenosha with wa
ter without the cost Of pumping the
water. In 50 doing they would elimi-
nate the big expense experienced in
water supply. Personally, I believe
the proposition to be one well worth
considering.
The aforesaid expert has not confded
as to just what the plan of the Detroit
men is in regard to the distribution of
the water. There is just enough inter
est in this side of the question to send
an answer to the letter in order to find
out just what practical way has been
found to bring water from Lake Su-
perior to Kenosha.

Worry Is 4 Poison.

Worry, like all other depress-
ing emotions, is a poison, writes
DR.. ]. Fl. kellogg in Good
Health. It Is short circuit that
burns cut the mental batteries
and destroys power for useful
activity. 1t is not merely a
habit; it is real disease. 1t is
not merely the surrender of the
will to morbid fancies or imagi-
nary causes OF anxiety; it is an
actual disease, a real physical
state, as real as is indigestion,
rheumatism or any other bodily
disease. In other words, worry
is not mere mind or soul malady,
commonly conceived, but a bod
lily disease.

SOME FLOWER HINTS

Store the tender hydrangeas in the
cellar, and water only often enough to
keep them from drying out during the
winter
Oxalis buttercup is lovely winter
bloomer.
In showering plants, use a force
pump, or garden syringe.
Fancy foliage plants are as lovely
as flower bearing ones, and much cas-
Ter to care for
Give the plants plenty of soil; and
before bringing them in, repot those
that are root-bound.
Spray the foliage of the plants sew
eral times a week to keep free from
dust. Keep the soil only moist.
It is impossible to overwater the
Gala, but water must not be allowed
to sour about the roots.
Brugmansia is a tender greenhouse
shrub, and if started out-of-doors in
the spring, must be potted before
frost. The flowers are beautiful-frst
a pale cream, turning to a pure white.
They are trumpet-shaped and the
shrub is sometimes called Angels
Trumpet"
A spotted Gala is a summer bloom
er, and should be allowed to rest dur
ing the winter. 1t has wonderful vi
tality, and will keep we'll in almost any
place, if not frozen. In central and
southern states it is hardy out of doors.
Moss roses often fail to bloom for
years after being disturbed. The best
time for setting is when dormant in
the fall. Glory of Moss and Henry
Martin are among the best.
Souvenir de Bon is most satisfac-
tory tub plant after it gets too large
for the window. 1t is an easy, quick
grower, with most beautiful leaves,
even if it did not bloom-which it
does.
Bulbs that were potted in October
should be ready for the light in De-
cember When bringing to the light,
a week in a shaded north window, wa
tering moderately every other day, q
few hours sunlight in the morning,
and keeping in cool room, will pre-
pare them for the full light.

APPLES NEED GOOD
DEPTH OF SUBS0IL
Presence of Unbroken Rock With.
in Three Feet of Surface
Causes Failures.

In choosing a site for apple raising
the necessity for good depth of subsoil
cannot be emphasized too strongly.
Shallow soils should be assiduously
avoided for orchard purposes. The
presence of unbroken rock, large
Lodges, or hardpan within three feet of
the surface should be considered pro-
hibitive. A sell depth of at least six
feet should be insisted upon, and an
even greater depth is highly desirable.
Soils with the underlying rock too
near the surface have been responsible
not infrequently for the failure of com
mercial orchards owing to the inca
pacity of the subsoil to store sufficient
moisture to Offset droughty conditions,
or to get rid of excess moisture early
enough in the spring.
The condition of tree growth and
fruit yields makes it evident that soils
for any kind of orchard planting should
be deep, well drained and friable, yet
not so porous as to be droughty. For
the red varieties it is often desirable
that both soil and subsoil should also
be well oxidized as indicated by uni
form brown, yellow or possibly gray
ish-brown colors. Light gray or mot
tied coIors should be avoided.

NICOTINE SPRAY TO
ERADICATE INSECTS
When Properly Applied the SoIu-
ton Is Fatal to Larvae Of
Cucumber Beetle.

A concentrated nicotine solution of
which there are several brands Oh the
market, properly applied, is fatal to
the larvae of the cucumber beetle
which sometimes does large amount
of damage to cucumbers whether in
the cold frame or in the field. One
teaspoonful Of a 40 per cent solution
of nicotine to a gallon of water is
enough.
The gardener should look for the
larvae of the beetle just at the sur
face of the SOIL When he discovers
them he should pour his nicotine so
luton on carefully with narrow half
pint cup, being sure to let it run down
all sides of the stalk.
Fighting the larvae of the cucumber
beetle is better than fighting the adult
beetle itself, as the adults work chiefly
on the leaves and do not get at the
vital parts of the plant.
Extract of tobacco containing 40
per cent nicotine in the form Of nicO-
tine sulphate will destroy plant lice
or aphids on trees and shrubs, if
properly used. This material is on
the market. One-half pint Of this in
SO gallons of water is very effective
if sprayed on the plants in such a
way that every insect is touched with
a small particle of the spray. This
material is even more effective ii
mixed with whale oil soap-one pound
Of whale oil soap to ten gallons of the
diluted nicotine solution
