100000 BET ON WAR PAID
Wager Was That Hostilities Would
Be Over by October 1, 1915

Amsterdam, Dec. 8. - Whether the
war would end before October, 1915,
was the subject of a $4,000 bet just
liquidated at Amsterdam. The men,
bers of the respective groups con-
cerned were principally stock ex-
change and commercial men and the
bet was entered into last year.
Both parties had insured their
chances of losing on policies for which
ten per cent premium was paid, and
the risk of such policies was again
distributed among various companies.
The winners of the bet had $10S,OOO
to distribute, while the losers had to
pay $4,000. The main loss fell upon
the insurance combination.

FIRsT-cLAss DAIRY STABLES
Quarters for Milking Cows Are Sep
arated Entirely From All Other
Kinds Of Live Stock.

The standard now set for the first
class dairy barns is high. The quar-
ters for the milking cows are separat-
ed entirely from all other stock, even
from the younger dairy stock. The
barn must be narrow, not housing
more than two rows of cows. The
window surface is to be relatively
very large, the walls smooth, floors
not absorbent and easily washed.
Ventilation by a systematic arrange
ment Of ducts, has to be provided.
The new order of construction is
the result of the more general under
standing of the power of sanitation
and cleanliness in the prevention Of
disease. Milk is perhaps the most
widely used uncooked food. Little

erlnarians attribute, in a large meas
ure, the prevalence of tuberculosis.
But, aside from safeguarding the
health of both the owners family and
his cattle, good ventilation is econ
omy.
Perfect assimilation of food is no
more possible in the body Of an ami
NAL without a sufficient supply of air
than is perfect combustion of fuel in
a furnace with the draft closed.
In order that milk COWS or beef ami
mails may respond to an increased ra-
ton of feed, more air must be supplied
for its combustion ss surely as that
q furnace requires more air for a
heavy than a light fire.
In other words-the amount of milk
or beef produced by the animal and
the amount of heat produced in the
furnace depend as much on the air
supply as on the amount of food and
fuel.
II barn is poorly ventilated II is
futile, therefore, to expect the largest
returns in beef or milk for the feed
consumed.

CONTROL THE PEACH BoRERs
Thick, Heavy Coating Of AsphaItum
Serves to Exclude Inseets-Mate-
rial Is Applied Warm.

In a bulletin of the California sta
ton f. L. Morris calls attention to the
use of hard asphaltum, grades &C" and
d." for the control of the peach tree
borer. This material was applied early
in the spring to badly infested trees
from which the borers had been dug.
II was found that a thick, heavy
coating prevented both the issuance
and the entrance of about 95 per cent
to 9S per cent of the insects, the de-
gree Of efficiency depending upon the
thoroughness of the application. AS
phaltum does not penetrate, crack. de-
teriorate or bind the tree, since It
yields to the slightest pressure. Four
years of experimenting have not
shown the least injury.
The material is applied warm with a
brush from five inches below to five

GERMS CAUSE APPLE BLIGHT
Only Known Way of Control of Dis
ease Is to Cut Out Affected
Parts-Job Tedious.

Blight OF pear and apple trees is
caused by a very minute germ which
works inside the bark and out Of
reach of any spray material that may
be applied. It is spread from tree 70
tree by insects and gets into the trees
through the blossoms. Here it is de-
posted by bees and other insects
which visit the blossoms, and as con-
ditions are favorable for the develop
ment of the germs they pass from the
blossoms through the stems of the
flowers into the twig and then through
the rest of the tree.
To control blight by cutting out the
affected parts is a tedious Job, but it is
the only way known at this time for
controlling it. Whoever will discover
a better way than this will be a bene-
factor of humanity and do a wonder
full work for the upbuilding of fruit
growing.
