a movement toward the same end has
been made. In Wisconsin there is
talk of such a move, but nothing has
developed.
In several foreign countries the Off.
cial government board, or even the
Producers association brand, has
been used to such an extent as to
quiet all doubts as to its value or
feasibility. Holland has it's butter
brand, supervised by the government,
and so reliable that the butter SO
marked sells for more than any of the
similar products without the mark.
Wherever it goes the buyers hardly
take the trouble to weigh it. Quality
and quantity both are guaranteed by
the trademark. 1t is the same with
Danish eggs and bacon, with Holland
cheese, with Irish butter, with New
Zealand butter.
There is no escaping the PROPOSE
ton that agricultural products have
for many years been sold for less
than they are worth because they
have been put on the market In un.
certain and unsatisfactory packages.

be gained under Wisconsin conditions
by cutting out fire blight, though the
extent to which the campaign is carried
must be determined by local condi-
tons. At least the following treat
ment can be recommended with fun
confidence for all sections of WiScOn-
sin:
During the dormant period, in fall,
winter and spring, cut out and de-
stroy the larger cankers which mar
Dor the bacteria over winter, and DC
stroy or similarly clean up so far as
feasible wild crabs, apple seedlings
or neglected apple trees which may
harbor the disease. Inspect young
trees or slightly affected older trees
at frequent intervals throughout the
summer, and cut out the disease as
soon as it appears. If large trees are
very badly affected with twig blight,
it is frequently not feasible to cut
out the blight throughout the season
In such cases, the disease may be lett
to run it's course until fall or winter,
when all the cankers should be re-
moved.
I'm removing cankers the simplest
method is to cut off. the branch we'll
below the last evidence of the dis
ease. If the branch is sufficiently val
liable, the diseased part may be cut
away we'll beyond the last sign OF dis
coloratiOn, and the branch thus saved.
The wound should be trimmed smooth.
Healing is aided If the wounds are
made V-shaped above and below, ana
the bark trimmed around the edges
with a sharp knife held at right angles
to the branch. All wounds made in
cutting out blighted tissues should be
disinfected with bichloride Of mer-
curry, one part by weight in 1000 parts
Of water Ito be had at any drug store
deadly poison). This is readily done
by carrying a bottle Of the solution
and sponge attached by a string
to the clothing of the operator. The
tools should be sponged with the BIZ
chloride frequently. The larger
wounds should be painted with white
lead or some other protective dressing
when they are dry.
"Blighted twigs removed during the
growing season should be cut from six
to twelve inches below the last evil
dence of the disease, as the bacteria
occur we'll beyond the discolored areas.
"In the case of young trees, in Sec
tons where fire blight outbreaks are
especially severe, it is well to avoid
forcing the extensively vigorous
growth, since young succulent tissues
are worst affected.
"Some varieties are, much more sub
iect to fire blight than others. This
should be taken into account in plant
ing new orchards. The Transcendent
Crab and Yellow Transparent are ex-
amples of varieties that blight very
badly. The Mcintosh is much less Sc
verely attacked.
ut is highly desirable for the peo-
pie of a neighbOrhoOd to cooperate in
fighting fire blight, as a few neglected
trees may start a severe outbreak"

JOKING RELATIVES.
Peculiar and Embarrassing Custom of

Peculiar and Embarrassing Custom of
the Crow Indians.
The Grow Indians are divided into
thirteen clans. In former times the
number was probably greater. These
groups are called by nickname-like des-
ignation. such as Whistling Waters,
They Bring Game Without Having
Killed It, Kicked In Their Stomach, and
so forth. Every individual belongs to
his mothers clan, and it is considered
highly improper to marry a person of
ones w clan, since all the marriage
able women Of that group are reckon
ed as belonging to the status Of either
a mother or a sister.
Those individuals whose fathers be-
long to the same clan stand to each
other in a very special relation, which
for want of Il better name may be call
ed the Joking relationships" They are
privileged to play FRANKS and practical
jokes On each other without giving Of
Tense, says the Southern Farmer. More
particularly is it the function of one
Of them to administer Il singing re-
buke when the other has transgressed
some rule Of tribal morality or cti-
quette.
In such a case the Joker" will bide
his time until some public occasion
arises. Then he will boldly come for
ward and twit the culprit with his deed
in the face of the assembled throng
and to his utter discontinue. Against
this punishment there is no redress.
for nothing said by a joking relative
can be resented. The only thing a
man can do is to wait for an offense
on the part Of his %denouncer and then
treat him to a dose Of his own medi-
cine.
