Germany Forms Forces
Into Three Decisions to
Meet French OfensiUe

London. Eng, April SIT has been
known here for some time that In or
der to meet the coming offensive OF
generals Joffree and Haig with greater
efficiency, the eight German armies in
the west are being reconstructed into
three groups, northern, central, and
southern, the latter. comprising the
German forces in the Argonne. Lor-
raine and Alsace, being placed under
the nominal command OF the crown
prince. The latter is to have a new
chief OF stall, to replace the octOgen-
arian field marshal van Haeseler.
The chief of staff is expected to be
Lieut.. general Won Ludendorff. the Of
ficer who dug out" Hindenburg, his
old regimental chief, a few days before
the battle OF Tannenberg. and has been
associated ever since with the veteran
field marshal as the latter's chief of
staff. He is regarded as the master
mind among German strategists.
whereas Won Falkenhayn is looked
upon here as little more than the
kaiser's military secretary.

Sing a Sone of Sixpence.

The London Globes explanation Of
the rhine "Sing a Song Of Sixpence" is:
THE four and twenty blackbirds rep
resent the four and twenty hours. The
bottom of the pie is the world. The
top crust represents the sky. The open
ing of the pie is the dawn of the day,
when the birds begin to sing, and
surely such a, sight is fit for a king.
The king in his counting house count
ing out his money is the sun. The
money the king is counting represents
the golden sunshine. The queen, who
sits in the parlor, is the moon. The
honey she is eating is the moonlight.
The industrious maid who is working
in the garden before the sun has risen
is the day dawn, and the clothes she
hangs out are clouds. The bird that
so tragically ends the song by nippinR
off her nose is the hour Of sunset"

SPRAYING Peaches.

Wherever the blossom buds Of the
peach have been killed by winter in
jury to such an extent that there are
only enough buds alive for q crop, It IS
suggested by the horticultural depart
ment of the New Jersey agricultural
experiment station that growers give
special attention to the control Of the
plum curculiO. This insect appears mt
about the time the trees begin 10
bloom and feeds on the young leaves.
The curculio does very lrtle or no
damage to the young fruit until the
calyces are shedding, when egg laying
begins. BY spraying the trees just as
the petals have fallen from the bios
SONS many insects are killed before
they deposit the eggs, and the danger
Of later injury is considerably reduced.
A spray consisting of three pounds OF
arsenate Of lead paste or one and three
quarters pounds Of the powder to fifty
gallons Of water applied at the fall of
the petals Is recommended. Where the
set of fruit is very light a second
spraying Of arsenate Of lead, common
ly combined with the self boiled lime
sulphur, should be made just as the
"shucks" or calyces are being shed
from the fruits.

LEGEND OF WILLIAM TELL.
The Story Was Old In Denmark Before
the Swiss Borrowed II.

Do you know who shot the apple on
the head OF the little boy? Why, Will
liam Tell, Of course! Everybody knows
the tyranny of Austria. At least ev-
erybody used TO know. Unfortunately
for pure romance, the historian and
the investigator have been unduly ac-
tive In the past quarter OF century,
and the result has left us few heroes
with enough clothing Of romance 10
cover their skeletons.
We have read Schillers beautiful
and inspiring play. either in our col
lege German course or in translation,
and we cling to William Tell with all
the ardor of youthful enthusiasm. And
along comes the historian and tells US
that 1t is all a myth, that the dates
fixed by the Swiss chronicles on the
subject do not coincide with the dates
of the historic events that were sup
posed TO be taking place in Austria at
the same time and that earlier records
Of Switzerland make no mention of
the archer's master shot.
The selfsame story is told in the
Danish legends, two centuries before
it crops out in the Swiss narrative,
and further investigation shows that 1t
was borrowed by the Danes, the Origi-
nal apple having been shot from the
original child's head by a German
bowman named Eigil, when King Nj
dung sought to test the mans skill and
nerve. In that remote story it is re.
lated that Eigil concealed another ar
row In his bosom with which TO kill
the king if he injured his child. John
Fiske, the American historian, was
largely responsible for robbing US OF
William Tell.-St Louis Globe-Demo-

FERN WEEDS IN PASTURES.
Detrinent' to Grazing of Live Stock
and Should Be Controlled.


Prepared by. United States department OF
agricultural
The presence of the hay scented fern
and the brake fern In pastures In the
eastern United States Is a serious det-
riment to the grazing of live stock.
which is prominent feature I'm farm
ing In that section. The department OF
agriculture recommends the following
means of reducing these pasture vast
ing pests:
Cut the fern with scythe in the
middle of June just as the spores are
beginning to mature and repeat the
cutting about the middle of August,
before the second crop of spores has
a chance to spread. AS soon as the cut
ferns are dry burn them over to lessen
the vitality Of the root stocks.
After the cutting and burning the
land can be seeded with pasture grass
and clover. A better stand will be oh.
tanned if lime or lime and fertilizer are
applied In addition to the seed.
A second method is to spray the fern
growth with salt and water distributed
with hand bucket pump or a KNAPP
sack sprayer. When the field is so To-
Gated that water for spraying is not
easily accessible the cutting is prob
ably easier. With ferns Of an average
degree of thickness, man with
knapsack sprayer ought to cover about
five acres q day. The salt is used at
the rate of one pound to about one and
One-half quarts of water, and $50
pounds of salt ought to be enough TO
spray the average acre infested with
ferns, which seldom cover more than
one-third Of the ground. If five acres
are covered per day, with labor at
S1.50, the total cost of spraying Is
about $105 per acre for each applica
ton, exclusive of the cost Of hauling.
Two sprayings a year, just previous
TO sporting, about the middle Of June
and the middle of August, are neces-
sary. Burn over as soon as they have
dried up. AS the use Of the salt spray
is something of a detriment TO the
growth of young clover, efforts to en-
courage clover to work into the patches
and help choke them down should be
deferred until after the August spray
ing.
After the ferns have been reduced to
a minimum the specific treatments
may be discontinued, at least until they
again become troublesome. 1t is prob
ably not practicable to entirely eradi-
cate ferns. The immediate reduction
! of the number of ferns, however, will
give the grass and clover opportunity
to work in, and this in itself will tend
to hold the ferns in check. Cultivation,
on the other hand, where tried seems
not to be effective, as the ferns work
in again sooner or later even where
the patch is used for potato growing
for n year.
The actual experiments were made
with the hay scented fern, but the re-
suits are believed to be fully as eff
fective in the treatment Of the brake
in the eastern states.

Spring Apple Spraying.

AS result Of the field experiments
In spraying apple orchards the Uni
versity of. Illinois agriculture expert
ment station recommends that the first
summer application be made after the
cluster buds open, as soon as the in
dividual flower buds spread apart, but
before the flower buds themselves
open. Spraying may be continued I'M
til the petals have commenced to sep
arate, but should be discontinued as
soon as the stamens and pistils of the
flowers are exposed. This spray Is
for the apple scab and to kill the vari-
Gus leaf eating insects which appear
early In the season, including bud
moth, tent caterpillar and canker-
worm.

JAPANESE STAGE CUSTOMS.
Actors and the Flower Path From the
Green Room Entrance.

The profession of an actor in Japan
is not considered a high one, says Mr..
NJ. c. Marcus, the author Of a work
on the japanese stage, and on the
average they are not well paid. Still,
there are exceptions. when a play is
staged it runs at least for twenty
three consecutive days. For such a
term first class man would earn
about $1,000. and his annual income
may be estimated at $500. But 1t
must not be forgotten that out Of this
sum he must provide his own cos
tunes, which are very expensive.
