In a noted picture exhibited not so
long ago the artist, well-known for his
ability to hold up the mirror to ma
ture," nevertheless made a curious er-
rOr which he would not have commit
ted had he taken the trouble to ac-
quaint himself with certain habits Of
the beast he portrayed in that picture.
A tiger is shown shaking his thirst
at stream. The artist does not show
much more than the head of the beast
and it is life-sized but he has made
the blunder of burying the mouth of
the creature far below the surface of
the water, making it drink as one may
see a horse any day drinking at u
trough and not tapping up the liquid
like cat, as, of course, tiger would.
1t is curious that an artist who could
paint well enough to command for his
picture place on the walls of an i'm
portant exhibition could make such
fundamental mistake.

SWEATING FRUIT IS
VIOLATION OF LAW
Food and Drugs Act Prevents In
terstate Shipment Of Immature
Oranges and Grapefruit.

From the United States Department Of
Agriculture)
Growers and shippers of oranges
and grapefruit are making inquiries
OF the United States department of
agriculture in reference to what ac-
ton will be taken by the department
during the coming season toward pre-
venting the shipment into interstate
commerce Of Immature citrus fruits
which have been artifcially colOred
by sweating. The officials In charge
of the enforcement Of the food and
drugs act state they will be guided
In their action by the position of the
department previously announced, to
the effect that the shipment In inter-
state commerce of immature oranges
and grapefruit, which are sweated Ell
ther before shipment or en- route, is a
violation of the food and drugs act
when the sweating cOnceals inferior
ity by making unripe fruit appear to
be ripe. The sweating process turns
the green color of the unripe fruit to
yellow, and fruit so treated has the
appearance of being ripe. However,
extensive investigations by the depart
ment have shown that the sweating
process does not ripen the immature
fruit.
One of the tests to determine wheth-
er or not an orange is mature is the
so-called "eight-tO-One test" This test
is based on the ratio of the soluble
solids to the acid contained in the
juice of the orange. The soluble sol
ids increase as the oranges ripen,
while the acid decreases. The or
anges are considered immature until
the juice contains soluble solids equal
to, or in excess of, eight parts to each
part of acid contained in the juice.
The amount of soluble solids in or
ange juice is about equivalent to the
amount of sugar it contains. The ra-
ito of the sugar to the acid in the
juice determines the sweetness of the
orange. In the case of grapefruit,
maturity is indicated by ratio of sew
en- parts of soluble solids in the juice
to one part of acid. The United States
department of agriculture will send to
any grower or shipper, upon request,
specific directions for making the
eight-tO-One test.
The position Of the United States
department of agriculture in reference
to the sweating Of immature citrus
fruit is stated in Food Inspection De-
cisiOn 1873, and in Service and Regu-
latOry Announcements of the Bureau of
Chemistry numbered II and Is, which
will be furnished upon application to
the department.

Aneients Labeled Food Products.

Labels were found among specimens
of ancient Hebrew writing in the city
of Samaria. They were employed as
seals on wine and oil jars. They set
forth the year in which the wine was
deposited in the cellars and they state
the vineyard whence the wine came.
The wine was deposited in what was
practically government storehOuse.
On the oil Jars the label reads, "a Jar
of Pure OIL" with the name of the dis
trict producing it. These records, some
seventy-five in number, pertain to the
period of King Ahab, who lived about
5000 years ago. The names appearing
il the inscriptions indicate that not
only the king himself, but many other
men, stored their wines and oils in
their warehouse.

IMPORTANCE OF ORCHARD WINDBREAKS

(By L. Army, New York Experiment
Station.)
The important point is to place the
tree in such place that it will have
the advantage of high altitude, which
means good air drainage, but at the
same time that it will not be exposed
to high winds, which means quick
evaporation. The best means of ac-
cOmplishing this is to provide the Or
ehard with windbreak.
Windbreaks should contain both
care and judgment, since they often
become hindrance instead of help
in places where they are wrongly
planted. The one great drawback to
them is the fact that unless watched

WELL CALLED EARTH STARS
Poetic Designation Of the Aster on
Which No One Seems to Be
Able 10 Improve.

No one, II seems, has ever called an
aEter anything but an aster. Soec-
tacled scientist and tOusled peasant for
once use the same language. An aster
is an aster.
Away back when botanies were not
thought Of someone admired the pur-
pie and white delights Of autumn and
called them stars. Aster is the Greek
word for star. No one ever improved
on this designation. They are the
earth stars of autumn. They are the
years last floral fulfillment. They are
the completion of the cycle; solid, sub
stantial, self-reliant, yet wonderfully
beautiful. Only the freakish witch
hazel waits to bloom after the asters.
So common are the earth stars that
they fail to command adequate at
tentiOn. Every wild roadside is alive
with them. Every pasture displays
them, every woodland, every brook
vale. At home in the most enhancing
dell Of the remote ravine lands and
equally at home where the tin cans
tester and rust in shameful heaps they
mark the years last effort to beautify
the world.
OF asters there is an abOunding va
riety. Commonly they are classed as
purple or white; but this is absurdly
superficial. Purple is no proper classi-
ticatiOn of the many shades of tinged
blue which the frost-nipped fields and
woods display. And even the less at
tractive white kinds are of many Vari-
eties.
1t is well to go stargazing in autumn
and to gaze downward for earth stars.
All the stars are not in the vaulted
armament. We are, ourselves, earth
creatures and the earth stars are more
comprehensive than the stars of the
SKY with their sense-dulling distances
and magnitude. But their message is
the same, the message of life and won

Object Of Windbreak.
Windbreaks should be planted with
evergreen and deciduous trees. The
object is not to stop the wind, since
that would be almost as harmful as
having too much, but it is simply to
check it SO that the force will be bro
ken by the time it reaches the trees.

PROTECT ALL YOUNG
TREES FROM RABBITS
.Tarred Building Paper Tied
Around Trees win Afford AbsO-
lutte Protection.

1t is time to think about protecting
the young trees from rabbits. In the
editors boyhOOd days we attempted
to do this by applying various prepara-
tons to the tree trunk, but we do not
recall any that were effective. Last
winter we saw a young orchard in
which tarred building paper, costing
60 to 75 cents per $50 feet, had been
tied around the trees, affording absO-
lutte protection. Cut In strips, wrap
about the tree, and tie with tarred
twine. The tar is repellant not only
to rabbits, but to mice and insects,
and the trunks of trees protected in
this way will not be injured. This
may be left on during the season if
so desired. The paper may remain
around the trunk for two or three
years without injury.-Kansas Farm

ADDITION OF ACID
PHOSPHATE FAVORED
Interesting Test Made With Barn.
yard. Manure by the Ohio Ex-
pertinent Station.

The value of barnyard manure va
ries according to the way it is treated,
according to the Ohio experiment sta
ton. In one test just announced in
Bulletin No. 296, manure that was un-
treated was worth $3.50 per ton and
when treated with acid phosphate at
the rate of 40 pounds to the ton and
kept under cover was worth $3.50. The
experiment station explains that ma
nure is not well-balanced fertilizer for
the older farm lands and that the ad-
ditiOn of acid phosphate should be
made to obtain the highest results
from the manure.
