LAID TO REST AMID POMP
Impressive Ceremonies That Can
Be Imagined.

Fort Myer is at the entrance Of the
National cemetery at Arlington and
troops of the garrison act as escort at
military funerals. Once seen, the sol
emn ceremony is never quite forgot
ten. | CHANGED to be at the garrison
a few weeks ago when the burial CT
brlgadier general took place with
full military honors. When the fu-
neral cortege entered the military res
ervation, cannon doomed out a sol
emn announcement of the approach.
Distant strains of grand dirge came
family up from the valley below and
mingled with the salute fired by the
battery at stated intervals. Nearer and
nearer it came, until down the broad
avenue under trees brilliant in au-
tumn foliage, the funeral cortege broke
into view. 1t was led by the mounted
band and hundreds of cavalry and ar
tillerymen on finely caparisoned
horses. At the gate of the cemetery
halt was made and the great mill
circle In the background was the
row of cannon from which the salute
had been fired, the smoke still rising
in soft curling clouds. The band played
an impressive military dirge. The gilt
tering tips of 400 sabers pointed sky
ward in the sunlight as the cavalry
stood at attention, man and horse alike
immovable, while the caisson bearing
the fiag-draped casket passed through
the gates Of Arlington, preceded by
platoon from the garrison which was
to fire the last volley. The simple COM
initial service became at once dra-
matte. AT the close three volleys were
fired over the grave; the clear notes
Of bugle sounded Taps" Then fol
lowed moment Of stiffness that was
inexpressively profound, and the sol
emn ceremony was ended.
But there are no somber trappings
Of woe in a military funeral. In their
place is a glitter Of gold lace and bril-
liant uniform; the flash of saber and
sound OF martial music. And the Stars
and Stripes blot out the gloom and
give patriotic splendor to the scene

though it is well understood that good
results are not always certain. and
there Is also liability to injury if
care is not used to have the spray So
lutions of proper strengths and care

With the advent of the ready-pre-
pared limesulphur solutions which
are safely used at diluted strengths
on apples after the blooming period
there has been tendency to use
these ready made lime-sulphur washes
at diluted strength on peaches after
the blooming period also, and MANY
fruit growers have been asking the d.
vision Of entomology of the state de-
partment Of agriculture whether this
can be safely done. Accordingly Mr..
Sherman and Mr.. Clapp have been
making experiments with this material
during the past two seasons in the

ERADICATE THE WHITE GRUBs
growers OF Strawberries Should Be
Careful in Selecting Land-sest
to Avoid Sod Lands,

strawberry growers who are trou-
bled with white grubworms should be
careful in selecting the land upon
which the plants are to be set. Sod
land, according to j. r. Watson, en-
tomologist to the University of Flori-
da experiment station, is apt to be in
tested with the worms. He advises
that the land be given to some crop
not injured by the grubs for two or
three years after the sod Is turned
under. If the grower cannot wait
that long, he might pasture pigs on
the land six months before planting
Pigs root the grubs out and eat them.
If stable or barnyard manure is used
as fertilizer, it might be well to mix
with it from 200 to 400 pounds of eva.
hide to the acre. 1t is possible that
cyanide cannot be obtained About
100 pounds of sulphur or enough to
slightly color the manure might be
added The sulphur can be applied
between the rows
Neither of these substances will kill
the grubs. but they act as repellents
and will probably drive the grubs
away. The best method, however. is
to avoid sod lands.

in small quantities in and upon the
skin of cattle which are repeatedly
dipped In arsenical dips
The discovery of the European OK
MARBLE in certain sections of the North
makes this pest significant to northern
cattle raisers and to those who import
pure-bred or other cattle from these
sections. During the winter and spring
months considerable numbers OF pure
bred live stock are purchased in the
northeastern states and are shipped to
various parts of the country. 1t is
urged that all animals thus transport
ed be examined by the purchasers and
all grubs destroyed during the spring
and summer Animals purchased at
any season of the year may harbor
these pests. In the winter and spring
they will be found beneath the skin on
the back, while at other times Of the
year the grubs are elsewhere in the
body of the host, and it will be neces
savy to watch for the appearance Of
these grubs during the following sea-
son. In those states in which regis
tration of all imported animals is re-
CURED it would be comparatively easy
for the authorities to follow up such
importations and see that any MARBLES
are destroyed.

when diluted even at the rate of one
gallon of the ready-made solution to
nifty gallons of water, there is apt to
be serious injury to the trees If the
treatment be given continuously
though they have used it successfully
on single occasions when not conven.
lent to prepare the standard self boiled
lime-sulphur solution. Trees on which
the diluted ready-made solution has
been used for two seasons now show
serious lack of growth, even though
they made good yields OF fine fruit
both years and the treatment was sue
cessful against both insects and rot
They conclude that the self-boiled lime
sulphur solution should still be relied
upon for spring and summer spraying
of peaches-though the ready-made
solution should be used In winter at
strength of one gallon to eight gallons

PLACE OF DUST IN NATURE
Wrongly Considered : Nuisance, This
World Would Be Bleak Indeed
Without II.

Nothing is SO useless as dust, you
say. The old burial ritual, Dust unto
dust" typiies the total absence Of
cles of earth.
But this dust that you kick and ~
gard as an annoyance is really indis-
pensable as we'll as ornamental. It
beauties nature, since it, swimming
in the air, is responsible for the blue
of the sky. Without it there would be
no beautiful sunsets or sunrises. Des-
erts and mountains would be colorless
without it to break up the light rays
in the atmosphere. Wallace, the natu-
ralist says: "One-half the beauty in
the world would vanish with the alb
sence of dust"
So much for the picturesque quail
ties. Far more important is its char
acteristic of giving us diffused day
light. Without dust the sky would
appear to be completely black and the
stars on all sides of the sun would
be shining brightly.
The tiny particles flying in the air
halt and shatter the solid light rays
of the sub and spread them over a
wide territory. There would be pain
full scorching light in the direct play
of the sun and blackness everywhere
else. In the front yard there would
be glazing sun and inside the house
midnight blackness. Our lives would
be totally different were there no dust.
We should have by necessity grown
into different beings. Plants and ami
mails would be in nothing like their
present form. The instant the sun
sank there would be total blackness.
Twilight and dawn would have never
been known, and the times which sci
ence says are the most restful and
soothing periods of the day would be
left out.

Wandering Bird.

The great albatross deserves to be
called the wandering albatross. A
mounted specimen is preserved in one
OF our museums of bird which, when
captured off the coast of Chile, on De-
cember 20, 1S47, had small vial hung
or string about its neck. This vial
contained piece Of paper, from which
it was learned that the bottle had been
attached to the bird on December IL,
447, by the captain of a whaling ves-
sci when it was about eight hundred
miles off the coast of New Zealand.
The bird, therefore. travelled at least
3.400 miles in eight days.-Frank Chap.

In all the states where the green
bug has made its appearance grain
growers should watch their fields care
fully. If any spots appear where the
grain changes from green to yellow in
color these should be plowed under as
deeply as possible and the ground har-
rowed and rolled. 1t is from spots of
this character that the green bug
spreads over the remainder of the
fields. If straw can be spared for the
purpose, it may be spread over the in.

stroys the pest as effectively as the

easily put into effect on small farms
and in diaries. In the southern states
the herds should be gone over early in
December and about twice later at
monthly intervals. In the northern
states the extraction should be begun
six weeks to two months later. If no
grubs are allowed to drop to the
ground and reach maturity, the num-
Der appearing in cattle in subsequent
years will be materially reduced, and
if extraction is followed up for several
years almost complete eradication will
result. OF course it is important
where possible to get concerted ac-
struction of these pests.
In extensive experiments along this
line in Germany it was determined that
the cost of removing all of the MARBLES
from the backs of cattle during one
season was about three cents per head.
In this case men were employed es-
pecially to do the work 1t is possible
for practically every farmer and dairy
man in this country to accomplish this
work without material expense or loss

1t is suggested that in those COM
munities where cow-testing associa.
tons have been formed the men
charged with this work could in many
cases devote part of their time to edu-
eating the stock raisers as to the
losses caused by OK MARBLES, and to
aiding the members Of the association
in destroying the pests.
Investigations conducted by the de-
partment indicate that eradication
also may be accomplished by the use
of arsenical dips, which are extensive
ly employed at the present time for
destroying cattle ticks. These inves-
legations are being extended, and ex-
detrimental work is in progress which
it is hoped may establish effective and
practicable methods of destroying war.

not upon the welldeveloped grub be-

upon the fact that arsenic is stored up
