SAVE THE SHADE TREES.

In the past several weeks oak
groves, elms and apple orchards have
been infested with what l suppose to
be known as the measuring worm.
Four weeks ago they were three
eighths of an inch long, the size of a
cambria needle, green, hanging from
the trees by a spiders thread. They
are now from one-half to an inch long
and exist by the thousands, destroying
LEAKAGE. This is their second year. Is
there any known remedy?-J. F. N,
Fond du Lac county.
The looping worms" affecting the
trees seems, from your description, to
be the fall canker worm" It's injuries
have been very pronounced and COM
mon in several parts Of the state this
year.
All such caterpillars, whether smooth
or woolly, or any other chewing or bit
ing insects feeding on foliage, can usu-
ally be readily controlled by spraying
the affected plants with arsenate or
lead; about three or four pounds in
so gallons of water, or with paris
green, one pound to fifty gallons of wa
ter. 1t is advisable to add lime, by
shaking one pound of fresh lime, to
the paris green and water, to prevent
burning of the foliage.-James G. San

en- by ]. l.. Sammis of the college Of
agriculture:
IF the cheese is to be packed in
small lots when made, the labor in
cheese-making will be greatly in
creased Instead of one 30-pound hoop,
there will be 80 one-pound hoops to
make. This will require large ex-
penditure for new equipment. Then
the shrinkage of cheese in one-pound
packages will be great during curing,
and lower quality may result due to
the cheese drying out All these things
would add to the cost of cheese; and
too, there would be greater waste
due to the increased surface of rind.
THE advantages in having cheese
put up in small packages are very
much the same as with butter packed
in one-pound cartons. Convenience
in handling, greater cleanliness, and

SPAIN WANTS OUR COAL.
Turns Here For Her Supply as Result
of British EMBARGO.

OF British Embargo.
Washington. - The British embargo
on coal is giving the coal operators OF
Spain and other countries concern as
to the source of future supply. In a
report received at the department Of
commerce Consul Dawson, at Valen-
cha, Spain, says that. while the coal
deposits in northern Spain will this
year be called on for larger shipments.
the low value Of the product is such
that an outside supply must be had.
Railroads and manufactures rely on
the imported coal, and of late there
have been large importatfons Of
American gas coal for railroad use
with good results.
The quantity required for heating
purposes among the people is COM
paratively limited, as the climate is not
severe and much charcoal is used. Gas
heating is, however, becoming more
general, and therefore outside coal is
necessary. Before the war England had
this trade entirely to herself, but now
American coal is being imported in
considerable quantities. Whatever
gains American coal may make in the
Spanish market will in all probability
be only temporary, as England takes
nearly all the output of many indus
tries in Spain.
