To groom the horse well after hard

A horse that is hidebound will be
benefited If given a little oilmeal Din

doses OF not more than a tablespoonful

nearly a pint with the other food three
times per day.
In feeding aged steers quality and

calves provided the purchase price IS

The busy bacteria gets busy in the
milk almost at the moment It is drawn
from the cow.

No man IS in a better position to
build up his soil than a dairyman IL he
uses wisely the forces at his command.
The calf that is expected to develop
into strong and profitable COW should
be given all the chance possible during

THE PEACH TREE B0RER.

One of the Most Destructive Enemies
Of the Orchard
Among the numerous insect pests
that attack fruit trees the peach tree
borer is one of the most destructive
AT this time Of the year this denizen
Of the orchard is in the larval stage
and will be found at work under the
bark at or below the surface of the
ground. The eggs are deposited by the
adult in spring and early summer on
the trunk of the trees. In time the
eggs are Matched, and the larvae begin
their work of destruction. None of the
trees are immune from the ravages of
this insect, because this pest has been
widely disseminated, there being no
section entirely free from its attack
The only effective remedy that is
recommended is to dig them out. This
work should be done in early winter
or some time before growth begins in
spring. Secure competent labor, ex-
ercising care not to injure the bark
any more than necessary. Remove the
soil from around the trunk and with
a sharp knife or rasp scrape off the
gummy emulation and cut out all In
Jured tissue. destroying the larvae as
they are found
Trees that are badly infected should
be gone over several times, once in
early winter and again in spring. Aft
er the spring 'wormlng" mound the
earth about the trunks. This is much
cheaper and is to be recommended In
preference to the wrapping OF the trees
with paper or painting with some coal
tar preparation.-C. ]. Hayden, Mlssis-

Message From Bishop Peterkin.

In Parkersburg last week B. Nj.
Amber read message from Bishop
G. W. Peterkin to the Episcopal Council
The reading OF the message caused
great emotion. The message follows:
Il give cordial greeting to the
3Sth annual council assembling in Park
ersburg, but very much regret that |
can take no part in the socials functions
or religious exercises.
" have made no visitations for more
than twelve months and here is nothing
of that kind to report. have only
been able to learn how under the
direction of the Bishop Coadjutor and
largely through his personal exertions.
the work of the Diocese has gone on
uninterruptedly and successfully.
Thank God for the hand at the helm in
our hour of need.
Il have availed my self of the kind
and thoughtful request of the Stand
ing Committee to consider myself re-
lieved from all work for a years time.
The result has been that after fully
diagnosing the case under skillful ply
sicians here and elsewhere, have with
great regret, reached the conclusion
that / have reached the limit of the
work the good Lord has assigned me,
and | have therefore placed the resig
nation of my jurisdiction in the hands
of the Presiding Bishop. He informs
me that except under special pressure
it will take until April 1916 to consum-
mate my purpose. This will allow
ample time to arrange and adjust all
Diocesan matters. In the meantime,
the Coadjutor can administer the
Diocese.
lone matter however must be at
tended to at once. / desire to surren-
dered eight hundred dollars or my sal
airy in favor of the Bishop Coadjutor.
he does the work, He has the respon-
sibility and three hundred dollars a.
month is little enough compensation,
especially as his travelling expenses,
from five to seven hundred dollars per
annum, have to come out of it. With
twelve hundred dollars Q year and the
Episcopal residence the Bishop is very
handsomely provided for. 1t is with
devout gratitude to God that l turn
over the Diocese to the efficient and
acceptable hands of the Bishop Coad-
jutor.
'These statements thus frank ly made
contain many suggestions which | have
not the courage to pursue, nor have
the strength to follow up the senti-
ments involved. AS look back upon
thirty seven years of imperfect service
| can but prey the good Lord to accept
it all.
Il thank the Diocese for these thir-
ty-seven years of uninterrupted and
loyal consideration. affection and con-
slant appreciation.
May the good Lord bless you every
one.
Your grateful Bishop,
GEORGE W. PETERKIN.

THE FARM ORCHARD.

The time has come when good
fruit does not Just grow" with
out any effort on the part of the
owner of the trees. Neglect
means inferior fruit or none at
all. and ultimately no trees on
which to grow it. AS dangers
have multiplied means of over
coming them have increased.
Spraying is ne longer a Job that
calls for the employment OF a
college professor. Anybody can
buy sprays ready made, can OPP
crate the machines to apply
them, and can afford both sprays
and machines if he has any
trees. No farmer with a small
orchard could be blamed very
much for failing to spray his
trees when he had to make his
own material and apply it with
inadequate machines. But that
time is past. sprays and ma
chimes are reliable and cheap,
and the day OF universal spray
ing is approaching. Some day
all states will require it by law
as a few Of them do now.-Na-
tional Stockman and Farmer.

Congress will be asked this fall to investigate labor conditions on the government railroad, according to cur rent rumors on the streets of Alaskan towns.
 It is alleged that mostly aliens are being employed. Seattle unions have adopted resolutions concerning this report.
 In fact, different people have inti- mated that they intend to call the at- tention of congress to what they term discrimination. If there is any fire in ? all of the smoke that is being raised concerning events to the westward. where Uncle Sam is beginning his first big railway project it may become a very important part of congressional sessions next session.
 All of which will remind Alaskans of that old saying that the Alaska ques- ton is loaded" and administrations may come and administrations may go, but Alaska" continues to be the big question mark of each session.
 In reporting a meeting of the Seat tie Central Labor Council the Times of that city says:
 An important item was the adop- ton of the report of the legislative committee on the resolution received from the Metal Trades Council last week denouncing and protesting against violation of the federal eight hour law by the Alaska railroad com mission and condemning the employ ment of cheap alien labor by govern ment contractors in navy yards and on public works. Concurrence in the resolution substantially as received from the metal trades organization was recommended by the committee.
