NOT GLAD TIME FOR WHALES
Resemblance TO Submarine Already
Is Known to Have Meant
Death 70 One.

'Ip the North sea lived a whale"
That was long ago. Olivette in Au-
drains long popular operetta told about
the luckless end of that marine mann
NAL in melodious fashion. That whale
met a torpedo, and, mistaking 1t for
another and undesirable fish of strange
shape, gave it battle with dire results.
Now from the same region we have
authentic information of a whale which
was mistaken, not by another whale.
but by a warship, for a submarine
boat
The body of that whale has been
cast up on the Dutch coast full of
holes made by three-inch shells. Per-
haps a whale resembles a submd rine
more closely than it resembles a tor
pedo. There are architectural differ
ences, to be sure. which would be
noted except in moments of extreme
excitement On and near the North
sea today, however, there is a great
deal of excitement, and this doubtless
perfectly neutral creature has suffered
in consequence of 1t. There is no evil
dence that this whale, like his prede-
cessor, loved to swagger and bully,
or that 1.-The ladies loved him so" Not
being IN comic opera, he, or she. pre-
sumably had no characteristics un-
usual to the whales of sober natural
history. No record of the incident ex-
cept the stranding of the mortal rem
nant exists One who would describe
the encounter must use his magma
ton. Kipling or Bullen might he
moved to splendid utterance by con
temptation of this tragedy, but in a
daily newspaper we. must stick 70
facts, and the ascertained facts in this
| case are Scant.

II must be remembered that the

and that considerable variation will be
experienced. For example. a record oi
764 COWS showed shortest period OF

CEDAR RUST DISEASE
Trouble Is Very Abundant in
Some Eastern Sections.
Orchards in Vicinity of Cedar Thick
cts Usually Suffer More Severely
Than Those Which Are Stu
ated Some Distance Away.

The cedar rust of apples is more or
less widespread in the eastern and
central portions of the United States.
It is reported from New Hampshire TO
North Carolina on the Atlantic sea-
board and westward as far as Iowa
and Nebraska. The disease is not
found except in regions where both
apples and red cedar grow. The red
cedar is very abundant in some parts
of the eastern states, and in those sec
lions there is a great deal more of the
disease than in any other portion. The
principal reason for this lies in the
fact. that. along with the abudance or
cedar trees, the large commercial ap-
pie orchards contain many varieties
which are particularly susceptible TO
the disease. Orchards in the vicinity
of cedar thickets have usually sur
fered more severely than those which
are situated at some distance. The
injury IS more marked If the orchard
is on the leeward side of the cedar
thickets. where the spores of the dis
ease may be continually borne in by
prevailing winds, but all orchards or
susceptible varieties of apples suffer
more or less from the cedar rust. Two
years ago, the financial loss to apple
growers in the state of Virginia alone
was estimated to be upwards of one
half million dollars, and this did rot
take into account the loss due to

PREPARING FOR DEAR EGGS
Hatches From Which Early Pullets
Are Derived That Are Largest
Money Producers for Farmer.

If the farmer wishes to benefit by
the high prices that eggs are GER
tain to bring next fall and winter, he
should begin to get ready for them
say the poultry specialists in the
department. The way to have eggs
late in the year is to hatch pullets
early. 1t is the early matches from
which the early pullets are derived
that are the largest money-makers
for the poultry producer. The early
Matched cockerels can be marketed
in almost any market in America when
they attain a weight of three-fourths
of a pound and a pound to pound
and a half each, which they should
reach at about six to ten weeks of age,
respectively, at a greater profit to the
producer than at any other time or
their lives. The early Matched pull
lets, If properly grown, should begin
to lay in the fall at the time when
eggs are scarce and high in price.
Pul.ets must be well matured be-
fore they will lay many eggs.
Pullets that start to lay in the fall
before cold weather sets in will, as a
rule, lay all winter
1t is the early Matched pullets that
| produce eggs In the fall and early
winter, when prices are high.
February, March and April are the
months to do your Matching In order
TO secure early Matched pullets.
Yearling and two-year'old hens do
not lay many eggs in the fall. as they
are Noting at that time. and the feed
they consume goes not only TO keep
up the energy and life OF the birds, but
also to put on or grow new coat OF
feathers.
In properly matured pullets all sur

We raise the large Toulouse geese
and find them very profitable. They
can be raised almost entirely on
