sulphur are used to control the scab,
while the arsenate of lead is used to
poison the codling moth and curculio.
A third and even fourth application
will be a great help to control out
breaks of scab, sooty blotch, black rot,
cedar rust, apple blotch, etc. By all
means one should spray about the mid
die of July for the second brood of the
codling moth which appears about this
time or a little later
Bitter rot is very troublesome in
the western end of the state. Where
it is causing damage it may be neces-
sary to start spraying about the first
of July and continue until the middle
of August Bordeaux mixture is more
effective in controlling this trouble
than lime-sulphur. The arsenate of
lead may be added to the bordeaux
when spraying for the codling moth
and thereby save time.
Green aphis has caused considerable
loss during the past two seasons and
will very likely appear again. Exam
inc the trees from time to time, and
if the leaves begin to roll, look on the
under side for the aphis. If they are
present, spray the trees with BLACK
Leaf 40" using three-quarters of pint
to 100 gallons of water. To this mix
ture add three pounds of dissolved
soap in order to make the material
spread more rapidly. y

BEAUTY OF CLIMBING PLANTS
BY {. VAN BENTHUYSEN.

The permanent climbing plants and
3the ANNALS have decided place on
the home grounds. They fill a place
that trees, shrubs and flowers cannot.
They not only screen unsightly OBJ
Iects, but serve as q shade, a protec-
tiOn, and when trained carefully over
0ntbuiidings, stone walls and pOrches
they help to make picture of the
home surroundings.
Three of the best clinging vines are
the Boston ivy, English ivy and the
trumpet vine. They are best on
brick or stone walls as they are apt to
cause decay if allowed TO climb over
shingles and woodwork
Japanese honeysuckle is of quick
growth and great beauty. It's delicate

able qualities. Any of the honeysuckle

The new holder Of the worlds seven
day record for butter production bears
the ponderous name of Ormsby Jane
is 1509S6. By producing in seven con-
secutive days 7214 pounds Of milk
containing 1885 pounds of butterfat,
this wonderful purebred Holstein-
FTiesian COW surpasses the best pre-
vious record held by another Holstein,
K. P. Pontiac Lass that set the seven
day mark in 1912, at $3.50 pounds OF
milk and 35.343 pounds of butterfat.
The new queen is owned by Pine
Grove farm, Elma Center, n. Y. She
was bern November "a, 1910, and her
official test, just closed, was made I'M
der the supervision of the New York
State Agricultural college, three super
visors being employed.
That the official figures may be read.
fly understood by the reader, it is well
to explain that 7214 pounds of milk
is equivalent to over 326 quarts of
milk Therefore the seven-day yield
of this remarkable COW averages more
than 46 quarts each day, and further
more 1886 pounds of butterfat, when
churned, will make over "A pounds of
commercial butter. At 35 cents per
pound, the seven-day butter yield of
this very profitable cow would be
worth over $3.50.
While Ormsby Jane Segis Aaggie' S
breeding is not remarkable in ultra
fashionable lines, she traces to some
splendid individuals of the great
"blackand-white' breed. AS an indi-
vidual SIC is nearly all white, having
but four small black spots, one on
the body, one on the tail and one on
either ear.
She weighs 1900 pounds, has a
straight back line and is well shaped
enough to please the most exacting
critic as to fulfilling the requirements
Of the ideal Holstein type. Naturally
she is great feeder, consuming large
quantities with apparent relish. Her
ration consisted of bran, ground oats

meal, salt, powdered charcoal beets,
ensilage and alfalfa.
Three years ago when K. P. Pontiac
Lass established her record it was be-
ieved by breeders that the record
would never be equaled, but as time
went on and 40-peunf COWS became
more numerous, it became evident that
there was much chance for progress.
Since the sensational performance of
this new butter queen, breeders are
equally as certain that at no distant
day the Holstein-F'riesian breed will
produce a 50-pound COW.
The rules observed in the official
tests of dairy COWS are: A large,
roomy stall, light blanketing, thorough
grooming, COWS exercised each day,
water always before them, fed four
times each day, MIXED four times, and
the animal allowed plenty of time to
rest by SO arranging the work that
nothing interferes with the quietness
of the stables.

sash
Unless the window is more than usu-
ally tight. there win be a cold draft
which is always injurious to plants,
especially when applied to the roots.
Sunshine in midwinter is always
welcome to plant life, yet this should
be given i'll moderation. If the plants
are crowded up against the pane. test

come too heated.
Plant starvation is common occur
renee in the winter, especially on the
farm City growers, accustomed to
buying not only plant food but even
soil. are appreciative of the need of
sEeplenishing.
But We who have always been &C.
eacustomeo to getting the soil from our
Gown land, sometimes fail to appreciate
how quickly the small pot of earth is
exhausted of its nutrient qualities
There are prepared plant foods more
agreeable to use indoors than fertil-
izers from the barnyard, but none more
efficient.
As it is inconvenient to get this in
zero weather, some prefer to fill sack
with fertilizer from the stable and
keep this in crock or pail, covering
with water frequently for immediate
use.

Some think they have better success
growing geraniums in tin cans, quart
size, than with the regular pots; and
their plants certainly justify the claims.

The plant syringe is most useful,
as it sends spray with much force,
easily routing the red spider and at
the same time removing dust. The
kind with bent necks are decidedly
preferable, as they touch both the up

equal facility.
Avoid crowding the plants. In the

to seeing them crowded together al

thoroughly.
Use as careful discrimination in

Daily Gain of Over Two Pounds
Made in Test at Nebraska
College of Agriculture.

A daily gain Of 2.02 pounds was
made by IA spring pigs in a six weeks
test with a self-feeder at the Nebraska
College of Agriculture this winter. The
cost per 100 pounds gain was $4.04.
In making the gains the pigs ate 645
bushels of shelled corn and 900 pounds

The corn was charged at 60 cents a
bushel and the tankage at $3.50 per
hundredweight. Computing the gains
on the pigs at six cents pound, a
price of SO cents bushel was received

"TwiIioht Sleep" Has Competitor

Twilight Sleep" it is declared, will
be superseded by the use Of nitrous
oxidoxogen gas to make childbirth
painless. The latter gas, the new use
of which was discovered by DR.. Carl
Henry Davis, in Rush Medical college,
is practically harmless, while twilight
sleep" is regarded by American doc
tors as being extremely dangerous to
the patient.
Nitrous gas, according to Doctor Da-
Wis, deadens all pain, but allows free
dom of thought and action. A patient
under its influence can follow instruc-
structions, and it need be inhaled only
in small quantities and at infrequent
intervals to be successful.

Thayer it should be said is of the business of Phoenix who has always taken deep interest in mining. He interested in this industry a time when very little attention being given it by valley business He has displayed his interest by the investment of many thousands of dollars by his encoura cement pros pectors and of every enterprise bearing any laton the mining industry
 We live in rather better times now. We have learned that mining is the big industry of the state that the mines and always will be the chief of Arizonas wealth We have rich valleys and the greatest in the country; the Salt River valley agricultural empire in itself famed all the country the Yuma valley and the Upper Gia, beside many smaller Rich and great they are, their fullest development depends upon the development of the mining industry.
 This county and the country contiguous or adja- to River valley $ n mineral but it has never been properly developed. Within the radius prescribed by Mr. Thayer several mines were opened years ago but generally they we're improperly worked even for that time. The character of the the lack of transportation facilities, together with the slipshod wasteful methods then employed, combined to produce failure.
 But conditions are now improved. We have other facilities for the treatment of ores have bet transportation facilities including lower freight reduction works. The truck has brought regions where these mines lie, shipping points Phoenix business men have come com ing a recognition of the importance of the mining industry.
 We believe there will be hot competition for that sl,000 of MT Thayers.
