esteem IN which she was held.
The room in which Mrs. Des Voignes
slept was bower of beautiful flowers,
silent tokens of the love of sorro wing
friends there assembled to bid farewell
to one that they knew had always been
a kind and faithful friend to many. She
was a person to make friends by the
score and to hold that friendship forever
sacred. The solo. "a Perfect Day" was

song at the request OF the broken heart
ed husband, with whom she has travelled
the "Ups and Downs" of life's fitful
journey for the past thirty years, both
meetings it's sorrows and sunshine to-
gether. Now the fond husband is left

TEACHERS EXAMINA-
TIONS IN PAW PAW

Teachers EXAMINATIONS will to be held
at Paw Paw April 27th-2Sth and re.
quirements for obtaining certificate
have been changed in two ways. A law
passed bv the last legislature makes a
term at Normal school or a half year
in college necessary condition for OBJ
tanning certificate; 10 other words a
high school graduate must attend a
summer term at state normal before a
certificate can be obtained.
The other change relates to the grant.
ing of a renewal of a certificate previous
ly granted and it is explained in this
letter which is sent out to members OF
the boards OF examiners by the Super
intendent of Public Instruction.
Lansing 3.24-l9l6.
To County Boards of School Examiners:
To promote professional training and
to encourage more adequate prepara.
tion of teachers the Department of Pub
lie Instruction recommends that candi-
dates for renewal of county certificates
shall file for each renewal four advanced
credits az weeks work in each subject
from State Normal or other approx ed
school. This requires two six weeks
terms or one II weeks term.
1t is farther recommended that for
those whose certificates expire this year,
two credits twelve weeks work in each
subject) be substituted for the above
req equirement.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR SPRAYING
T. A. Farrand, County
Agent, Makes Valuable
Suggestions for Benefit
of the Fruit Growers.

The practice of spraying is, with the
growing OF most kinds OF fruits. the con-
Meeting link between success and fail
ure While different methods are some-
times followed by different fruit growers
the principles which underlie the pract-
ice of spraying are the same. Thorough
ness in application and the proper time
with the proper mixture, rre very i'm
portant points in spraying. Inasmuch
as spraying, especially in the control OF
all fungus diseases, is not cure, but a
method of prevention, to get the best
results, it is very important to "get there
frst'' and then keep the fruit and foliage
covered through the season. At this
season Of the year, in the dormant stage
is the time to control the San Jose scale
on nearly all the different kinds OF fruits
and curl leaf on the peach, both of
which can be done with the same appli-
cation.
l have always used for the scale spray,
to Of limesuphur, that would test 80
baume test. The dry lime sulphur or
soluable lime sulphur is coming In use
more and more and for scale is recon-
mended at 1879 pounds to 30 gallons OF
water, or pound to % gallons OF water
when foliage is out. Where the scale is
not present in the peach orchard, and
the curl leaf alone is being treated, to
20 pounds of lime and sulphur will give
satisfactory results. 10 the orchard that
is badly infested with the scale, very
thorough work is necessary to get it
under control, as it is an insect OF suck
ing type and must be killed by contact.
One can see very readily that every one
must be touched with the spray 10 order
to destroy it, and TO touch ali parts OF
the surface of the bark req uires very
careful work.
/ have followed the practice in orchards
of that kind of spraying from both sides
of the trees, and going both ways in the
orchards. BY doing it very thoroughly
with this method, which is more than
most growers do, l have been able to
get the scale under complete control in
single season in very badly infested
orchards. Two points that are very apt
to be missed in spraying, are the new
growths in the tops Of the trees, and the
points nearest the sprayer. In spraying
for the green aphis, our State Entomo
logist, r. II. Petit does not r. commend
the use of the nicotine solutions in con
nection with the strong llme-sulphul
spray, but recommends it use eithel
alone, or with the weaker solution o.
lime-sulphur, to 40 or 80 when the pink
begins to show in the blossoms, usine
one and one half pints of black leaf tt
40 to 200 gallons. If used alone, 4 pound
soap should be Dissolved aud used to hell
to make it stick.
The aphis has proved to be a seriou
pest in the last few years with the appl'
growers but il taken at the proper sim
there is no reason why the nicotine solu
tions should not control them. Man
growers are using the scale spray rs lat

TREATMENT FOR SCALY LEGS
Kerosene Oil and Lard viii Destroy
Mites-Afflicted Parts viii
Soon Heal over.

Scaly leg In poultry is not a serious
disease, although In some cases it
seems to reduce the vigor of the bird.
1t Injuries the appearance of a flock
and is so easily cured that there is
little gained by allowing the disease
to exist in the flock. 1t is caused by a
mite which burrows under the scales,
and the irritation results in cells which
cause the crusty exudatlons. These
cells force the scales away from the
leg and give the bird rough appear
ance.
Equal parts of kerosene oil and lard
rubbed on the legs will destroy the
mites and the afflicted parts will soon
be healed. OIL of caraway, one part,
and vaseline, five parts, is recon-
mended for a quick cure and Is de-
slrable for use when birds that are to
be sold or exhibited show signs of the
scales. 1t is thea best to assist the
oil by scrubblng off the dirty scales
with a small stiff brush. An old tooth
brush is excellent for this use.

NANCE is ERUPTIVE DISEASE
Horse Is Kept In Constant State of
Irritation, Soon Causing Him
to Lose Flesh. III

Mango is an eruptlve disease COM
mon with horses that is very con-
taglous. 1t is caused by repeated at
tacks Of minute insects which burrow
into the skin and can be seen easily
by means of a magnifying glass. A
horse troubled with mango is kept in
a constant state Of irritation which
soon causes him to reduce in flesh. He
rubs his head and neck against the
stall or manger, small pimples appear,
the hair falls off and the skin is dry
and hard, Treatment for mango con-
sists in separating the affected animal
from the other animals and thoroughly
washing 1t with soap and water every
second or third day. Afterwards dress
the animal with this application: Four
ounces of linseed oil, four ounces Of
oil of tar and three ounces of sulphur.
Mix and rub into affected parts. All
clothing, harness, etc, which have been
used on a horse affected with the
mango should be cleansed good before
they are used again.

Sunshine, fresh air, warmth, and
comfort are the main essentials of a
sanitary dairy barn, asserts j. B.
Fitch, associate professor of dairy
husbandry in the Kansas State Agri-
cultural college,
Many farmers have the idea that
expensive barns and equipment are
necessary for the production of clean
milk. This is not the case" says
Professor Fitch. "There are many
cases where thousands of dollars are
invested for equipment and conditions
are ideal, but lack Of proper methods
and of cleanliness results in low quail
lty milk.
Farmers can install some type of
swinging stanchions, cutters, and a
ventilating and lighting system at a
low cost. Almost any stable can be
modelled into good milking barn.
In building dairy barn, one must
keep in mind the cheapness of con
structiOn and the ease of keeping both
the barn and the cows clean.
Proper construction of stalls and
cutters assists materially In keeping
the cows clean. The stalls should be
so constructed that they can be regu-
lated to the size of the cows. This
can be accomplished by building the

Easy to Figure Out How spreader
VIII Pay for Itself In Compare
lively Short Period.

Here is the way three farmers han.
die manure: One hauls his manure
and dumps 1t in piles to save the
washing Another spreads it on the
wagon, while the third uses manure
spreader. 1t takes Farmer A and B
81 minutes to put on ton load Of
manure. 1t takes Farmer G Is min
utes. In unloading, Farmer A requires
80 minutes; Farmer B, % minutes,
and Farmer G, two minutes. To take
a load of manure to the field and UNI
load requires GA hours for A, 60 for b
and % for G.
Considering labor, teams and tools,
the cost for A is A cents a load, or
$SS for 200 loads; B, 40 cents load,
or $50 for 200 doads, and G, 20 cents
load, or $40 for 200 loads. One can
soon figure up the value of manure
spreader and how quickly this tool
pays Its cost. These figures are ac-
tual facts and they may be verified
by any farmer in his own vicinity.

SALT USED AS A FERTILIZER
Results Of Experiments Noted in Re-
port Received by Department
Of Agriculture.

Fertilizer experiments with beets
and turnips on variety of soils to
determine the extent to which COM
mon salt may be used as a substitute
for potash are noted In a report re-
Gently received by the department Of
agriculture. Common salt was used
at the rate of 425 pounds per acre and
81 per cent potash salt at the rate
Of 175 pounds per acre.
The two salts gave practically the
same results with sugar beets, al
though neither materially increased
the yield. Turnips showed a smaller
potash requirement than sugar beets.
Where common salt was used in a
complete fertilizer mixture, increases
in crop yields were obtained. The
conclusion is reached that 81 per cent
potash salts may often be replaced by
common salt for fodder roots, beets
especially. 1t is also concluded that
increased yields produced by additions
of potash salts are not due solely to
the fact that potassium Is an essential
nutritiye element.

tratton. These young shoots will push
up through two or three feet of heavy
clay soil. The raw plants produce only
leaves the first year, dying down to
the surface IN the winter, and produc-
ing flower stems the second year.
Where Canada thistles get a bad
start they soon possess the ground,
smothering out native grasses, and
covering an area which is avoided by
grazing stock. The only effectual
means of killing out this pest is to
starve out or kill the underground
stems. The starving method is the
most successful. No plant can live
long If the leaf stalks are kept cut off
at the surface and moving or close
cutting three times in June, August,
and September will be a good way to
begin the battle. Sailing and sheep
grazing for two seasons afterward has
been known to finish the work. In
cultivated fields, cut the thistles when
in bloom, close to the ground, then
pillow deeply and sow to millet or Hun
garian. Harrow thoroughly and seed
thickly. Cut the hay in September
and seed to rye. The next May pillow
under the rye and plant to corn or any
hoed crop. The field can be cleaned
up by this method.

to its use because it is cold for the
cows to stand upon. This can be
overcome by placing boards over the
concrete or by using creOsoted blocks
where the cows stand.
Cows should be curried before each
milking. Not only does this result in
cleaner milk, but experiments show
that cows properly currled will pro-
duce more milk. The skin Is kept in
an open condition, which adds to the
animals comfort. Currying also acts
as a stimulant.
The mixers should be Clearly and
should milk with dry hands. Covered
milk pals must be used because they
present less surface into which dirt
particles can fall. After the milk Is
drawn 1t should be cooled at once and
kept at low temperature until de-
livered.
Good dairymen never allow their
cows to stand out in the cold. They
realize that 1t takes an extra amount
of feed to keep the cows warm. 1t is
sometimes stated that close housing
impairs the health of cows. This is
not the case when provision is made
for proper ventilation of the barn.
