LOST ROAD MYSTERY SOLVED
Report Made When Tide Was In and
$40 MIIea Under Sea, ls
Explanation,

The unstable qualities Of highways
in the wild parts of the West were ex-
planned in letter mailed by State En-
gineer John H. Lewis of Oregon to the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton. Mystified federal officials had
asked him to account for the disappear
ing of 800 miles of highway in Lincoln
county and for the addition of 1000
miles in Malheur county, as indicated
in the last report from Oregon.
Mr. Lewis forwarded the query to
the counties concerned. r. r. Miller
of the Lincoln county court explained
that the previous report was made
when the tide was out and there was
800 miles Of good highway along the
beach. Unfortunately when the last
report was made the tide was in.
Malheur county officials explained
that a highway can easily be made by
a wagon train crossing the unmarked
sage brush plain.

codes are becoming humane. cities are
vigorously pushing the betterment OF
vicious conditions in social life, and
labor organizations countenanced by
the state are working earnestly for
the social and economic improvement
of their members.
Intellectual development, freed
from the incubus of dogmatisn, has

Its achievements in science has made
modern civilization progress by leaps

physical and mental phenomena.
Life for the average man has be

generous existence than that endured
by his fathers. We realize now the
futility of the old belief that goodness
and wisdom are innate only In the
privileged classes.

curlosIt,es Of AntItoxlna.

Ono of the latest discoveries In the
Held of antftoxins has been given the
name of anaphylaxis; 1t was made dur
ing experiments in injecting into dog
minute doses of q poison secreted by
sea anemones. The first dose produced
very little effect on the dog; 1t was fol
lowed three weeks later by similar
dose. The experimenter found to his
surprise that the second dose was
fatal; the first dose had rendered the
animal much more, instead of less
sensitive to the poison. 1t was found
later that If an injection into an ami
NAL OF even SO harmless q substance
as white Of egg is followed after three
weeks by second injection, the re
suit is fatal; but II the first injection
is followed by further doses at inter
walls OF week there is no bad result
The cause Of this curious fact is not
known; but since 1t was discovered
medical men have been very careful
not to allow too long an interval tc
elapse between two doses Of any al
luminous compound.-Sir William
Ramsay, In Youths Companion.

VIII Use Old Tin Cana.

Among the recent patents filed In
England is the process for removing
the solder, tin and chemicals from
scrap and galvanized articles and fol
utilizing the base metals. The inven
tor is a South Wales tinplate worker
who has already secured contracts
from several municipalities for treat
ing down refuse such as tin cans, con
tainers and similar metallic waste
products.
Formerly large quantities of old tins
were taken by continental dealers,
practically at the cost of carriage, to
be utilized in manufacturing cheap ar
ticles such as toy soldiers, novelties,
mechanical toys. and a large assert
ment OF nondescript articles usually
found in penny bazaars, etc. The usual
process in manufacturing such goods
only necessitated simple cutting or
stamping and light coating of enamel
or paint.

ARSENATE OF LEAD
KILLS CHERRY SLUG
When Cherries Are Half Grown
Use Either White HeIIebore
or "BIack Leaf 40"

(By c. p. GILLETTE, Agricultural Col
lege. Fort Collins. Colo.)
Whether or not the cherry trees
bear crop, they should be protected
against the loss of foliage from the
attacks Of the pear and cherry tree
slug. When the cherries are very
small, the trees may be sprayed with
arsenate Of lead in the proportion of
one pound of the paste to each 80 gal
Ions of water.
Instead Of using the arsenate of
lead, after the cherries are half grown
or more, use either white hellebore
In the proportion Of one ounce to three
gallons of water, or Black Leaf 40"
in the proportion of one part to 800
parts of water, and make thorough
spraying for the purpose of covering
the upper surfaces of the leaves.
The BLACK Leaf 40" will only kill
the slugs with which 1t comes in con-
tact. while the hellebore will kill all
slugs that eat 1t for several days after
the application is made.
The advantage of using the helle-
bore or "Black Leaf 40" after the fruit
is well grown is that they do not en-
danger the people who eat the cher
ries after they are ripe.
If one has only few small cherry
trees, the slugs may be quite easily
removed by thoroughly busting the
foliage in the heat Of the day with
air-siaked lime or fine road dust.

Where the wound is so large as to

be used. Two-year-old trees are plant
ed about the base of the injured tree
and their tops grated into its trunk
above the girdled space, which has

too large to manipulate readily in the
manner described for scions, V-shaped
vertical grooves extending through
| the cambium are cut just above the
wounded area in the bark of the tree
to be treated. The tops Of the small
trees are shaped to correspond with
these grooves. The two are then ac-
curately fitted together in such man
ner as to bring the cambium of one
into contact with that of the other.
Small nails may be driven through the
tops Of the trees into the trunk, to hold
the parts firmly together. The wounds
incident to joining the tops Of the
small trees to the trunk of the large
one should be well covered with wax,
to prevent drying out. Sometimes cord
is tied around the trunksto aid in hold
ing the tops of the young trees in
proper position.

NOT YET IN DISCARD
HORSE STILL A QUANTITY TO BE
REckoNED WITH.
Figures Show That Development Of
the Automobile Has by No Means
Done Away With Mans Always
Faithful Servant.

The horse still is king. The advent
of autos has pushed him of some of
the city streets as a pleasure horse,
but his family is larger today than it
was rs years ago, when automobiles
were unknown. Statistics compiled by
government bureaus show that IS per
cent of transportation throughout the
United States is done by the horse.
Discussing the situation, Irving Par
menter, secretary Of the New York
State Association Of Horsemen, said:
The reports of the federal department
Of agriculture show 21.000.000 horses
on the farms of the United States at
the present time against 1900, 900 in
1880. The value of the horses on the
farms alone is estimated at more than
$4,000, 100000. All the automobiles in
the United States are rated at 1880
100000.
The Commercial Car Journal ad-
mits that government statistics show
IS per cent of the nations transporta-
ton is done by horses.
while 1t is true that the estimated
number Of horses in this state has
shrunk 5000 in the past year, due
probably to war exports, farm horses
have increased. according to federal
figures, from 591, 008 as shown by the
1910 census, to 100000 In 1909 the
value of 10000 horses on New York
farms was placed at $80.940,0O0. To
day 60S.0 900 animals are valued at $S4,-
s61, 900.
More horses are trucking on New
York's streets today than two years
ago.
Despite the Importance Of the horse
industry those interested in it failed to
organize until the horsemen were the
only class not represented by some
amalgamation. As result their inter-
ests were neglected. Highways were
built unfit for O horse to travel; no
proper provisions regulating stations
In service were made, and breeding
has declined until military and police
authorities have difficulty securing re-
mounts, and fire departments recon-
scarcity and cost of high grade horses.
Nov the horsemen have organized,
representing the farms. the road
drivers. the trucksters, the track
every branch Of the horse industry,
united for mutual protection. and sup
port.
THE New York State Association OF
Horsemen has no dispute with the mo.
florists. We desire to cooperate with
the automobile organizations, for our
aims are one. Unquestionably new
era is upon us.
"As the cities put the slow-moving
vehicles to the curb, SO should the
states trunk roads provide a smooth
center for faster travel. and upon
either flank there should be drives for
horses, Of a surface suitable for their
requirements. The creation of such
drives is one Of our aims. The asso-
citation hopes, also, to revive breeding,
and to see that the rights of the horse
men are supported everywhere"
