poison in the inner or lower cup. I'm
doubtedly great many cooling worms
take their first meal in this inner cup,
and in the matter of practical spray
ing our attention must be centered on
them. Quite obviously the lower cup
cannot be filed with poison without
coating the outer cavity, and the whole
woolly exterior of the apple, and the
leaves as well. On the other hand,
a mist spray that readily covers the
outside Of the blossom cannot pene-
trate beneath the stamens, nor can
a coarse spray thrown straight up
from the ground. In about week
the green sepals fold over and inclose
the calyx cavities, and then it is i'm
possible to give a complete coating to
the inner cup, Notwithstanding that
at the same time the stamen bars are
shriveling.
There is considerable variation in
the blossomipg period of the different
varieties, of apples. There is also
some variation between the falling of
the petals and the unfolding of the
sepals The central flower of each
cluster is generally more advanced,
and is most apt to set fruit. AS these
flowers close first the spraying should
normally be timed for them. However,
it sometimes happens, that the most
advanced blossoms may be destroyed
by a late frost, and the entire crop
come from belated lateral blossoms.
Obviously in such a case the time for
the calyx spraying would be abnoT-
mally late.
Since the time for calyx spraying
is limited to a week, or but few days
more, it is necessary to have the spray
outfit ready and waiting on time 1t
is this spraying that determines the
number of pumps required for the or

HAS LUTHER'S WEDDING RING
Precious Relic, Authentic, That Is in
the Possession of New York
Woman.

The wedding ring of Martin Lu-
theirs bride is one of the treasured
possessions of Mrs. Hildegard Pinkert,
wife Of Macmillan Pinkert, who has
charge of the German branch Of st.
Bartholomew church, 209 East For
ty-second street, and is also superin-
tendent of the Seamen's institute, in
South street, says a New York dis
patch to the Detroit Free Press.
It bears the inscription, ID. Martina
Lutheros-Catherine V. Bora, Den ID.
Juni, 1926"
Doctor Luther met Catherine Won
Bora at the home Of the duke Of Sax
ony after the convent Of which she
had been a member had been lis
solved. They were married soon aft
erward by Doctor Bugenhagen, Lu-
theirs closest friend.
The ring is quite large and fits the
thumb of an ordinary hand. 1t is set
with a brilliant ruby. It had been
Luthers personal ring, given to him
when he was ordained.
For 400 years the ring remained in
possession of the Anhalt-Bernburg
family of Leipsic, Of whose family Lu-
theirs bride was a member and from
whom Mrs. Pinkert is descended. For
100 years it was in possession Of that
branch of the family of which the wife
of Rev. \. c. Walters Of st. Luke's
church, Leipsic, was a member. A
few years ago she gave the ring to
Baroness Won Georgi, her niece
There has been a tradition that the
ring should never be worn except by
the eldest daughter of the direct de-
scendant; also that it should be worn
only on the hand of the daughter who
became the wife Of a clergyman. Bar
oness Won Georgi, although the eldest
daughter, gave this ring to her sister,
Mrs. Pinkert, last summer when Doc
tor and Mrs. Pinkert visited the old
home of Waldenburg, near Leipsic.
Doctor Pinkert, desiring to be as
sured of its genuineness, consulted
Carl Jensen of the Leipsic institute
of art, and he gave it as his opinion
that it was genuine.
This ring was referred to by H. Noel
Humphreys, an authority, in an article
in the Observer in February, 1852, in
which an Illustration of it appeared.
He described it as the betrothal ring,
but the Pinkerts have always under
stood that it was used at Luther's
marriage. He says:
The betrothment ring of Luther,
which belonged to a family at Leipsic
as late as 1917, and is doubtless still
preserved with greatest care as a ma
tional relic of great interest, is COM
posed of an intricate device of gold
work, set with a ruby, the emblem of
exalted love. The gold device repre-
sents all the symbols of the passion.
! In the center is the crucif1ed Savior,
on one side the spear with which the
side was pierced and the rod of reeds
of the flagelIation. On the other is
| leaf of hyssop."

NEED OF SOIL INCUBATION
Different Kinds of Bacteria Required
for Each Plant With Exception of
Alfalfa and Glover.

Leguminous crops such as clovers,
peas, beans, alfalfa and the like, may
fail to do well sometimes, even when
the soil is in good condition and good
seed is used. These plants take their
nitrogen from the air, and they can
not do this unless there is in the soil
a certain kind of bacteria which
changes the air nitrogen to a form the
plant can use.
The bacteria develops on the roots
of the plants, if present, and the pres
ence or absence of them may be
known by examining the plants. Pull
up a few plants and if the right kind
of bacteria are in the soil there will
be nodules-smalI wartlike lumps-on
the roots. A different kind Of bacteria
is required for each plant, with the
exception of alfalfa and sweet clover,
which have similar requirements in
this line.
The bacteria, if needed, may be
supplied in either of two ways. One
way is to drag or drill 1Ilto the soil
about 200 pounds to the acre of soil
from a field where the hind of crop
to be planted has been grown sue
cessfulIy. The other way is to treat
the bacteria wanted.
The United States department of
agriculture will supple any farmer
with enough of this Culture, free, to
treat two bushels of seed.

Liuhts for RattIefields.

The secretary of war has directed
the engineer corps of the United
States army to. make an exha stive
study of searchlights, flares, star
bombs and such other lights as the
are now using in war. Ac-
cOrding to the Army and Navy Jour
nal, searchlights are for obvious Tea-
sons kept dark until the field artil-
leTy has ceased firing and the enemy
is charging. To illuminate a field
over which the enemy is to advance,
star bombs and flares are also used.
Flares, which are merely modified fire.
works, are like the familiar red, white
to illuminate streets and
parks. Sappers go out in front of the
trenches with flares, which are then
connected with the headquarters of
the officers in command of the first
line, who by setting them off at in
tervals throughout the night, can keep
the battle front continually lighted
Star bombs are also adaptations of
modern fireworks. They are shot
from msrtars into the sky, where for
twenty minutes they will give off an
intense light over a wide circle of the
country. Before one
bomb dies out another is shot into the
air. A kind of star bomb, shot into
the sky like an ordinary rocket, is
used by both armies for signaling at
night. 1t is with such lights as these
that our engineer corps is now con-
Quoting experiments at the barracks
in Washi4 gton.

PROPER FEED FOR DRY COWS
Animals Digestive Organs Should Be
Given Rest by Giving Materials
to Build Up Calf.
Ry W. F. puRDnEN


AS soon as COW stops giving milk
feeding should begin at once for the
following year There are three spe-
cifc purposes for which she should be
fed during her brief vacation.
First, if she is a good, hard-working
COW, her last years work has been
wearing on her and her digestive ap-
paratus should have a rest as far as
practicable. To accomplish this pur-
pose feeds Of cooling and light, bulky
nature, as pasture grass, in summer
and silage in winter should be sup
piled.
Secondly, in feeding the dry COW it
is essential to build up the future calf.
heterogeneous or protein feed must be
given for this purpose. About all the
alfalfa or clover hay that the cow will
eat, combined with little bran, is ex-
cellent.
The third purpose in feeding is to
store up in the cows body fat to be
drawn upon later, as we'll as stamina
for her coming work To make fat
nothing is better than corn, with a
small amount of other grains. And
there is nothing better for imparting
stamina to an animal than oats.

Currant and gooseberry bushes must
be sprayed the moment the worms ap-
pear. which is as soon as the leaves
are well formed. If you delay apply

bushes will be stripped in a few days
and then you will be helpless. Pow

the foliage is wet with good results.

GOOD SEEDED FOR ALFALFA
Early Flowing and Working With
Disk and Harrow.

A mellow, well-compacted soil
makes a good seeded for alfalfa. The
capillary attraction of the subsoil and
the top soil must be well restored; the
land must be firm with only a little
loose dirt on top, not much more than
is needed to cover the seed.
This condition can be obtained by
early blowing and 3, great deal Of
work with the disk and harrow.
II the soil is adapted to alfalfa and
is properly prepared, you can be as
certain of getting a stand Of alfalfa
as any other crop.
