to lessen the spread of the blight. In
our experience of very many years
with blighting trees we have found
cultural methods more effective and
less expensive than cutting and burn
ing the blight wood at this stage in
the season. A limb may be nearly
grdled by blight. 1t may still carry
a tuft of live leaves beyond the point
of spur blight infection. Now every
leaf and twig still alive beyond the
point of infection acts as a draft on the
power of circulation. In the course of
two or three weeks nature will force
fresh buds below the points of infec-
ton to push new shoots and will show
where ultimately the branch should
be cut.
This bright windy weather will
check the dissemination and should
blighting conditions cease and should
proper conditions of culture be main
tanned we may fairly expect that we
have already suffered all the harm
likely to be sustained this season. At
ter blighted leaf spurs and twigs dry
they no longer spread blight spores.
Blight may spread from the dark ex-
udation of sap sometimes seen i'll viz
ulent cases. Insects help to spread
blight spores. Under such conditions
in our experience the very busy COM
mercial orchardist may safely leave
the cutting Of the blight until his con-
venience will allow him to devote time
to the work or until winter when labor
is cheaper and better and more intelli-
gent help can be secured for pruning.
At the time of winter pruning all
blight should be removed. In cold
weather with the tree at rest it will
not be necessary to disinfect the prun-
ing shears since the tree at that time
is not in a receptive condition.
In very bad cases of blight on the
young trees with half or two thirds
Of the entire tree affected to cut away
half or two-thirds of the tree at one
time for the purpose of removing all
of the blighted wood would likely lead
20 the growth of many water sprouts
or shoots which would be quite likely
to continue to blight On the whole ir
| the average case we regard it as safer
to defer the major portion of blight
pruning and very much less eXpen'
sive to wait until winter
We find that Delicious, Staymans
Winesap. and Winter Banana, are bu
slightly receptive to blight spores anC
are very slightly troubled. Young
trees of the Jonathan, just ready tc
bear their first crop and full of bloom
suffer the most, Rome Beauty next
Other varities very little.

TOO MUCH sILAGE FATAL.

1t required an autopsy to learn the
cause for the dying of eight mules,
part of drove of ninety. that belong
to Kay county farmer, says the Okla
homa Live Stock News. DR.. J. A. Jim
merson, the veterinarian, returned re-
Gently from the farm where he con-
Quoted the examination. The owner
had fed corn silage for several months
and the mules, to the eye, looked in
find condition, but recently some of
them became afflicted with an un-
known malady. They would get down
and be unable to get up and then only
when prodded and were visibly in
great pain. The only external indi-
cation of any sickness, was the heavy
throbbing of the arteries i'll the throat
which indicated the trouble was in the
heart. Several expert veterinarians
were called and a postmortem ex-
animation made. Vital organs were
found to be one and one half times as
large as normal, including the heart
spleen, liver and kidneys. The exam
nation showed that the stock had beer
overfed on corn silage and alfalfa
having been on this ration severa
months. While it is known that cat
tie have died from silage high in grair
this is the first time it has been fata
to equine animals.

DISTRIBUTION OF PREVENTA-
TIVE VACCINE FOR TYPHOID

The people of Idaho are hereby no
tilted that the State Board of Health
is prepared to furnish free bacterin
for the prevention of typhoid fever.
The efficacy of this method in pre-
venting typhoid fever has now been
proven, and it is hoped that the peo-
pie will avail themselves of the oppor-
tunity of taking this treatment in or
der to lessen the prevalence of typh-
old fever.
Typhoid Fever.
About this time of year typhoid
fever begins to appear in many of
the counties of Idaho. Some people
are beginning to believe that typhoid
fever is catching" Well, you do
not catch" typhoid fever like you do
smallpox; you swallow it. Typhoid
fever is caused by filth which gets
into the mouth from the fingers, or
from something we eat or drink. We
swallow it; the germs multiply and
grow and cause the disease we call
typhoid fever.
To prevent typhoid fever the great
est care must be taken to see that
the we'll or the cistern or the spring,
whichever is used as a source OF
water supply. is protected from every
possible source of pollution, A good
we'll must have sound, tight top
with watertight casing or curbing
A we'll with a leaky top. or with
bucket which it touched with dirty
hands, is likely to give rise 10 dan,
gerous pollution.
Then. too, the outside toilet must
be looked after, TO see that there is
no danger of pollution from it. The
discharges from human beings con
stitute the most dangerous materia
on the farm, or in the town in sum
mer time. 1t should be cared for a!
carefully as if it were a deadly poison
Flies carry typhoid fever germs OF
their feet, and if the toilet is oper
so that chickens or other domestic
lanimals can get at it, they too will
carry this dangerous material on thei
feet about the yard. onto the well top
which, in turn, may be washed int
the well, or be carried on the feet o
people into the kitchen, to there be
come a dangerous source of pollution
for food Or drink.
To avoid typhoid fever:
|. Wash the hands before eatin
anything and do not put the finger
into the mouth.
2. Do not drink water that yo
do not know comes from good wei
cistern or spring. or from a gooC
safe city supply. unless it has bee
/ thoroughly boiled.
8. Do not drink milk unless yo
r know where it comes from and hav
: reason to believe that it is safe an
/ wholesome.
4. Before taking your summer Vi
E cation have your physician immune
= you against typhoid fever by givin
= you the typhoid bacterins.

S ply you with typhoid baeteriu wit

HERALD LOW BIDDER.

Bids were opened this morning by
the committee on printing for publish
ing the proceedings of the May session
Of the county board and printing 300
copies in pamphlet form. Only two
bids were submitted, from the Herald
and the Pilot. The Herald bid 10
cents a folio for publishing the pro-
ceedings and 1 cents folio for print
ing the pamphlets. The Pilot bid
nineteen and four-htths cents for pub
fishing and four and four-tifths cents
for the pamphlets. The Herald be-
ing the lower bidder got the job. The
Herald and the Daily News bid last
Friday on publishing the proceedings
OF the city council. The law precludes
weekly papers from bidding on the
council proceedings. The Herald bid
30 cents folio for publishing the pro-
ceedings and is low bidder, the News
bidding TO cents On publishing Off
cial notices the News bid 45 cents a
folio and the Herald so cents.
Now if the Herald can publish the
proceedings of the special session of the,
county board once year for 10 cents a
folio why should the city pay it 30 cents
folio for publishing the council pro-
ceedings every other week2 And why
TOO, should the city pay the Daily
News 10 cents a. folio for publishing
official notices? 1t is time, high time,
that the council "bust" this combina-
ton and make these daily papers bid
against each other. There is neither
rhyme nor reason in letting them div
Idle the printing and fix their own pri-
ces, The council should not permit
the city treasury to be looted in this
way year after year.
