were made coming chiefly from ex :
tended workings of we'll known dis
tricts.
In North America some new placer
fields were opened in Alaska. but did
not add largely to the production of
the year. although they may do so
during 1915 The most reasonable ex-
pectations of increased gold produce
ton are based upon the possibilities In
South America and perhaps, to less
er extent, on probable discoveries in
the Congo and elsewhere in Central
Africa.
1t Is not possible to give, at this
early date, any estimate approaching
correctness Of the silver production of
the world. That of the United States
showed decrease of nearly per cent
the first loss reported in several years
In Mexico there was again a decrease
owing to the disturbed condition of
the country and the interruption of
mining operations. In Canada, also,
there was a decrease, owing chiefly to
the low price of silver that prevailed
during a considerable part Of the year,
which induced the Cobalt producers to
curtail their operations. Upon the
whole we should assume the case OF
the United States as typical and esti-
mate reduction Of from to 10 per
cent In the silver output of the world.
Table 3 gives the gold and silver
production of the United States for
two years, the figures for 1915 being
the preliminary statements made
jointly by the United States mint and
the geological survey. These figures
are based upon smelter production and
upon the returns Of the minis and as
say offices, and in past years have
proved to be very nearly correct al
though rather conservative in their
nature. the corrected figures being
little larger. According to

The gold production of the world in
1915. according to the preliminary es-
Inmates presented In Table /, showed
an increase for the first time in three
years. These estimates are largely
based upon official returns covering IL
months, and in the instances where
these are lacking, they are founded on
the closest official figures obtainable
backed by information from engineers
familiar with the conditions in the
several countries. They are conserv-
atively made, and 1t Is believed that
the final corrected figures will show
some increase over those here given.
That the gold mining industry should
make so excellent showing In 1915

slider that the European war has not

1914, which was chiefly due to extend
ed dredging operations, while the out :
put of Porto Rico was trifling. 1t
should be noted that the dredging
work in the Philippines is largely I'M
der the direction of Australian and
New Zealand capitalists and engineers,
fact which Is accounted for by the
proximity of Australia to the islands,
and the large degree of ignorance as
to their resources which still prevails
at home
The total silver production of the
United States in 1915 was 67,4S5,6OO
fine ounces, a decrease of 44969, 500
ounces from 1914. AS is we'll known
the silver output of the United States
is made chiefly in connection with 9TH
er metals, largely "copper" lead and
gold, comparatively little being pro-
duced from mines whose chief value is
in silver. The greatest losses in silver
were in Idaho and Nevada, the other
large silver producing states very
nearly holding their own. The four
leading silver producers, in the order
of their Importance were Nevada,
Montana, Utah and Idaho. A second
group, some way behind the first,
comprised Colorado, Arizona, Califor-
MIA and New Mexico. No other state
than the eight mentioned produced
over 100000 ounces of silver during
the year 1915.

OF TIE WORLD FOR 20 YEARS

The gain in 1915 was due chiefly to
the two leading producers. the Trans
vaal and the United States, the former
showing an increase over 1914 Of $15,-
221.574, while the United States had a
larger production by s4,S59, 500. In the
Transvaal the increase is explained
by the closer working and the extern
sion OF operations, while in the Unit
ed States the gain was well distribut-
ed over the various states and resulted
chiefly from improvements in metal
lurgy and in methods Of operation.
The four leaders among the gold
producing countries retained their re-
spective rank and WERE as for num-
Der Of years past, the Transvaal. the
United States. Australasia and Rus
STA. The Transvaal produced about
40 per cent OF the worlds total and
the United States about 81 per cent,
little over per cent coming from
Australasia, so that these four coun-
tries furnished about three quarters
of the worlds supply. The output of
Australasia was somewhat less than

Successfully Surgery of Mice Girdled
Trees

On the farm of j. w. Manson in
Somerset county, Maine, has probably
been done the most successful bridge
grating in a young orchard that has
been accomplished. Aobut two years
ago, Mr.. Manson on going into his or
chard, found that his young trees had
been girdled by mice beyond what
seemed recovery. He gave the trees
up as complete loss. After about
a week, Charles Smith an orchardist
who had had experience at the Maine
Experiment Station at Monmouth,
vent to the orchard and said he be-
lieved that the orchard could be saw
ed. He Immediately proceeded to
bridge graft all of the trees.
These trees had been so completely
girdled that from five to six inches
from the ground up the trunk of the
tree, there was no bark whatever and
the wood of the trees in many cases
had been gnawed into. He took some
live branches from other trees for
scions and in the natural method of
grating put one end into the foot of
the tree near the main root and the
other end to the top of the girdled
part. He did this on either side of the
tree and left them to work their
course. 1t has now been two years
and only about three of the trees died
after the process and in every case
where they lived the trees this year
are bearing apples, they being Of the
Baldwin variety.

experience and observation had not
proven 1t to be correct.
Furthermore, spraying has not
been valuable alone for the control of
insects and diseases, but has promoted
growth in the thing sprayed. This
may have been due largely because
freed from pest attack, the tree or
plant was given its full power to per-
form the purpose of its existence.
II then spraying is of such econo-
mical value, and so vitality important,
it is essential that it be done accord
ing to methods which science and
practice has demonstrated to be COR
rect. In the directions given here
with our aim has been TO do this, and
at the same time to present the SIM
plicity of the operation. In spraying,
however, like other thinks with which
we have to do, conditions and environ
ments are ruling factors. Every man
must count upon his own ability to
meet adverse conditions and an unfav-
orable environment, and out Of them
win success.
To economic in spraying and to
make success more sure there are a
few things necessary and helpful be-
fore the actual work of spraying be-
gins. The first is cleanliness. Clean
up the orchards, and fields that har-
Dor insects and carry over fungus
disease spores from one season to an
other. Cut out dead, decaying or sur
plus wood, cart it away and burn it.
Clean up your spray pumps and &C
cessories. Have them in thorough
working order; no implement on the
farmneeds the care or attention which
should be given a spray pump. Clean
ing with common machine oil will keep
it in good condition on the outside,
and pumping some clean water
through it every night with one or
two quarts Of machine oil added, when
spraying for the day is over, will
clean the pump, hose and nozzle and
oil them outside.
Have your spray material ready be-
fore time for spraying arrives. If
you don't do this. you will not be ready
when you want to spray, and the loss
Of day oftimes means the loss Of a
crop.
A good spraying power is from 100
pounds to 200 pounds pressure, on
hand pumps from 75 to 100 pounds. If

A Winter Diet

Winter fare offers a wide range of
choice in foods. There is the nour-
ishing game, the savory goose and
duck, and the delicate turkey-all
within reach of people Of moderate
means. Pork, too, so rich and ap-
petizing, is prime dish, and sucking
pig is a Wand fit for king.
Thick soups are very seasonable
just now, and are much in favor with
yc-ng and old alike. For those whose
dutics or pleasures keep them out of
doors good deal Of the time, bowl
Of soup for luncheon is very sustain
ing.
In addition to soups, cereals-such
as oatmealfi hominy, and cornstarch-
make a valuable addition to breakfast
or supper fare, especially for people
who have not much vitality. A bowl
of hot porridge helps one to resist
the cold. 1t Is almost as practical a
defence against it as a suit Of warm
clothing.
Vegetables are good heat-producing
foods. Dried peas and beans are es-
pecially valuable, which accounts for
the fact that they are supplied to
soldiers and sailors. Haricot beans
can be made into tasty dish either
with butter or pork. Boston baked
beans are deservedly popular, and
prepared either in our great CONNER
cial kitchens or at home, they make a
delicious addition to the bill Of fare.

Benefit Of Roads to Non Auditing
Property Owners

Inc bodybuilding specialists of the
Y. >. Department of Agriculture in
Bulletin No. 1876, entitled "Highway
Bonds have the following to say
about the benefit Of a well-construct-
ed highway TO property owners whose
property is not directly on the road
TO be improved:
I'm planning the highway system
on the main market roads il will be
found necessary to omit many roads
the Improvement of which is greatly
desired by abutting landowners. The
fact that such property holders must
pay tax for the bond issue is only
an apparent injustice, for if the high
way system is well planned the entire
county will feel the benefits of the inn
provement. AS a rule, main market
roads reach the majority of producing
areas, and when they are improved
all land values tend to increase.
The fact that cities and larger
towns are frequently taxed for bond
issues to build highways outside of
their own limits is sometimes made a
point of debate in bond elections. II
Is argued that because large part of
the county wealth is within the cor
porate limit of such cities and towns
highway bond money should also be
used to construct their streets, 1t is
even urged that the expenditure
should be made proportionate to the
assessed valuation within the city IL
mits. If the proceeds of highway bond
issues were distributed in this way,
their purpose in many cases would be
defeated. The primary object Of the
county highway bond issue is to build
county market roads and not to i'm
prove city streets, although a high
percentage of Nthe assessed valuation
may be city property. 1t is now known
that the expenditure of city taxes on
country roads is sound principle and

During the coming few weeks the
Banner will give In this department,
= complete directory Of spraying. We
wish frat, however, to give little
general discussion Of the Importance
OF spraying. The Banner Is indebted
TO the Fruit Belt for these articles,
as they were compiled by 1t.
Spraying has long since passed the
period of doubtful expediency. The
destruction wrought by insects and
diseases Of trees, fruits and plants
amounts to $500, 900 annually
In the United States. From the sue
cess which has resulted from spray
ing. IL is now universally regarded as
as safe, sure and profitable practice,
as necessary in farm economy as
selection Of seed, cultivating fertiliz-
ing and harvesting the crops.
Those who question the value OF
spraying are ignorant OF the needs
for 1t or are Indifferent as regards
the welfare of their crops. That in
sects and diseases which now seem to
attack almost everything which
grows out of the soil are so numerous
and are so widely distributed is not
so much a matter of concern as IT is
how best to combat them. To per-
form the work of spraying at the
right time, the right kind of material
and at cost that will justify the
work being done in the NOSE thorough
and efficient manner are the problems
Of today.
Wonderful progress has been made
already, but the most learned and
experienced along spraying lines
would scarcely dare assert that the
problem was fully solved. Each year
finds new difficulties and greater need
for spraying.
Fruit trees and vegetable crops are
not all there is to be sprayed. Grain
crops, hayfelds, shade trees, orna.
mentals, shrubbery, flowers and lawns
all have their particular insect pests
and fungus diseases which either de-
stroy them or mar their beauty and
lessen their value, and the man who
wants to have a model farm and home
grounds must spray practically every
acre Of land lie possesses, no matter
what sort Of crop he is growing. Such
a contention would not be tenable il
