TESTING Quality Of Ale.

At one time Shakespeare father is
said to have served as an ale conner
or tester In the olden days the ale
conner tested only for sugar, and a
musty (and doubtless ale-soakod)
chronlcler tells us that It was the
custom OF these testers to enter a
tavern, call for pot by accident
(sic) spill puddle or bench and
sit In the puddle for half an hour by
the clock" If the conner could rise
with due dignity from his seat, all
was well; but woe to the tapster whose
ale glued the leather breaches of the
tester to the bench-there was sugar
in his ale; which brings us. by the
well-worn route of anecdote. nearer

CULTIVATING TREES
TO KILL INFECTION
There Is No Positive Cure for
Root ROt-LiVeS in Soil and
ii, Hard to Destroy.

Replying to an inquiry as to the cause
Of fruit trees dying, Or. r. II. Forbes,
director of the Arizona agricultural
experiment station, says: $50 far as
1 can tell from your letter 1t looks as
though your fruit trees were affected
with root rot, which attacks the trees
at q distance below the surface OF the
soil and works up to within a few
inches Of the surface, when the trees,
being deprived Of their root system,
suddenly die. This disease is favored
by Over-irrigation and lack of cultiva-
ton, these being conditions which re-
suit in insufficient aeration of the soil.
Inasmuch, therefore, as root rot
thrives with insufficient aeratiOn, the
best preventive measure is to apply
sufficient, but not too much, irrigating
water, and to cultivate thoroughly aft
er every irrigation. These precautions
will contribute materially to the health
of the trees. There is no positive
remedy that can be suggested for dis
eased trees and the infection, since it
lives in the soil, is very difficult to get
rid of. Irrigate with care, therefore,
and cultivate thoroughly in order to
lessen the damage as much as possible.

How to rejuvenate an old orchard

entomology department Of the agricul-

the Kansas State Horticultural society

part:
"The first steps to be taken In re-
juvenating an old orchard depend
upon the time Of the year when the
work is to be started. II in the
winter, pruning will come first, but
If in the spring, spraying. 1t is bet
ter, however, to start with pruning,
as this will greatly simplify the spray

ciples upon which a man may work,
but the solution of the matter Is f.
nally dependent on the growers own
judgment. 1t is well to keep in mind
a general idea as to the kind Of tree
you desire finally to get. The presence
Of a large number of dead, diseased
and broken limbs which must be re-
moved will upset plans to certain
extent, but this can be largely over

Ennui at the Front.

At times, at the front, it gets dread
fully dull. When there is an attack
and, in consequence, plenty of work to
do, it is all right In a field hospital.
But when there are no attacks, when
there are no new patients and all the
old ones become cOnvalescent, when
there is practically no work, it becomes
insuppOrtable. Nothing but the green
hedge on all sides of us, shutting us
into ourselves, into our little, gossip

overhead, with nothing to do but walk
down to the little pond and sail boats.
There is a feet Of boats on our little
pond, all made by our chief surgeon, in
moments Of ennui, and every day he
goes down to the pond, sets his boats

the other, and walks around and sets
them going again. All because of Su-

TO FLY ACROSS ATLANTIC
AVIators Confident That Such 4 Trip
ls an Event Of the Near
Future.

IF the war has accomplished no other
useful end, it has advanced the prog
ress of aviation many years. In the
United States, without the spur Of mill
itary and naval aerOnautics, aviation
was regarded as a profession for cir
Gus performers, whose main duty was
to "lOop the loop" and provide thrills
for the crowd. Now, with aircraft
manufacturers turning out aeroplanes
at the rate of 16 a day, the public is
beginning to realize that it is re-
markable healthy infant industry,
closely rivaling the unprecedented
growth of the automobile industry in
its early stages. One Of the foremost
aerOnautical experts in the country re-
Gently said to the writer:
within one year after the signing
Of peace between the European pow
ers, the first aeroplane will make a
successful fight across the Atlantic
ocean. Very soon aerOplanes will be
carrying out mails to inaccessible
spots. Shortly after this will come the
carrying of passengers on a sched-
ule as regular as that of our Twen-
tieth Century limited, Many of us will
live to see the aerial express with
many planes, multiple engines, and an
enormous carrying capacity, which will
take US to San Francisco or even to
London and Paris as easily as we can
now ride to Kansas City in a railroad
train."-POpular Science Monthly.
