the Capital mine near Georgetown.
The quartz was found on the hanging
wall of the lode and is two feet in
width, the quartz being heavily i'm

by George H. Utter on the famous
Carlisle mine at Steeplerock, which
he sold some time ago to wealthy New

Mining at Kingston is gradually
coming to the front. The United
Mines Company is working a force of
men on the Franklin group sampling
the large bodies of low grade ore;
and it is reported that the company
contemplates building a wagon road
from Kingston to Lake Valley.
An article recently published says,
according to the United States Geolog-
ical Survey, the mines of the Virginia
claims at Kingston camp have pro-
duced about $7,0OO,0OO of marketable
ore. The article gives the production
of few of the mines of that camp
as follows: Lady Franklin, $2,OOO,OOO;
Superior, $1,50O,0OO; Comstock, $780,
900; Black Colt, $5OO,OOO; Caledonia,
$30,000; Bullion, $500,0O0; Kangaroo,

PREPARATION OF BORDEAUX MIXTURE.

some instances 90 per cent unstable
on account of rusting. Where the
rainfall is slight bordeaux mixture
does little or no harm to the fruit.
In all cases arsenate of lead has
been added as an inSecticide to the
various so-called fungicidal sprays at
the rate of one pound OF dry powder to
so gallons of water. This has proved
efficient in the control of chewing in
sects. But one of the unexpected re-
suits obtained was the value possessed
by this chemical as fungjcide.
AS q result of this discovery the
system of spraying became somewhat
modified. A strong fungicide combined
with a small amount of arsenate Of
lead was applied where the buds were
showing pink. For all other applica-
tions the latter chemical was entirely
depended upon for the control of bath
scale and insects. Two pounds of pow
der were used with SO gallons of wa
ter in this case. After this treatment
the crop was very free from scab.
Self-bOiled lime-sulphur was used.
1t proved to be too weak to control
the apple scab, but it may be applied
to the peach and plum without injury
to the tenderest foliage.
Copper-lime-sulphur proved effective
in spraying apple trees for rust. In
some cases the margins of the leaves
showed darker green than the nor
NAL leaves, but in no instance was
there any evidence of burning.
A suspension Of flowers Of sulphur
in water at the rate of ten pounds to
SO gallons was used for apple rust on
certain trees. It proved fairly effec-
tive, reducing the percentage of scabby
apples from II to 3. There seems
nothing gained by using the sulphur in
suspension. The dry powder applied
with busting machine has decided
advantage both in effectiveness as a
fungicide and in facility Of applica-
ton.

EXPERIMENT A BIT
FOR THE NEXT CROP
1t Is Sort of Adventure to Try
Out Something for Yourself
on Small Scale.

(By BREEZE BOYACK, Colorado Agri-
cultural College, Fort Collins, Colo)
Why not plan for bit of an expert
ment for yourself, next crop season
AS you go about the business Of cult
waiting and harvesting this years
crops, you often wonder what some
other crop might do; make mental
note Of it, and try out that crop on a
small scale next year. Why not2 It's
bit of an adventure.
Do not wait for someone to do your
experimenting for you. The success
full business man is the one who is
first i'm the field.
Of course, If your community has
settled upon a variety sts community
enterprise, as is done with peas, pOta-
toes, apples, alfalfa, ETC., it is not wise
to depart from it.
Always try just little of anything
new-a quarter acre, half acre, or
even an acre. Give it just average
ground-it is better right alongside
the standard crop. Don't baby it..
Make n prove it's worth, if it has any.
The pleasure of trying out for ones
self the value of a crop is the best
return. Do not make your whole farm
an experiment farm or you will sure
" fail. But a little experiment now
and then is relished by successful
men.

NOT PERPLEXING TO
GRAFT FRUIT TREES
Necessary Operation in Many In
stances Where Apples and
Pears Are Grown.

Grating fruit trees is an easy thing
to do where necessary. And it is neces-
sary in nyinStances whenever apples
and pears are grown and the best va
rietieS are desired. In numerous in
stances I have grated both apple and
pear trees from real small to large
ones and greatly improved the quality
of the fruit, says a writer in an ex-
change. In most cases it is the seed
lings that are improved for fruit bear
ing by grating. Some of our best
standard apples and pears, indeed
lings, but ordinarily seedlings are not
to be depended upon for fine large
fruit. An entirely new top is at once
begun by grating Seeding some
three years Of age. The entire upper
portion is sawed off from two to three
feet above the ground or at the point
where the stock is just large enough
to receive two scions.
I always insert two Of the scions at
each place where a graft is made. I
allow both to grow. through the first
season so as to have a perfect and
solid union. The spring following the
one in which the CRAFTS are made 7
cut off one even with the small tree.
I then form the head of the tree from
the one that is left. If both are left
to develop, there is too great an en-
largement Of the trunk at the point of
the union and besides, both being al
lowed to grow, makes a forked tree
and sometimes one or the other will
split off.
I have grown many new tops to
fruit trees. Often they had grown
large enough to begin bearing fruit
when I found they were Of inferior
quality. Some care must be taken in
doing such thing to keep from in
juring the main body Of such trees.
The way graft such trees, and form
new heads for fruit bearing, and no
injury is done, is as follows:
The old top is examined and some
half a dozen limbs are selected of the
right size for inserting a pair Of
sciOns. If they all take or start
healthy growth, the following spring
l cut off the weakest one at each
union, and at the same time I cut
away about one-half Of the remaining
small bushy limbs. Then after the
CRAFTS are well started for forming an
entirely new crown, cut away the
remainder of the old top. Sometimes
do not complete the cutting away Of
all of the old crown until the third
spring. 1t depends upon the size Of
the tree at the time of inserting the
CRAFTS.

Duchess Apples With onions.-A
most appetizing dish is this: cut in
small pieces, after peeling, a half dOz-
en- green duchess apples; cut three
onions in slices and put into an Omelet
pan with little fat from salt pork 4;
cook until the onions are a light yell
low, then add the apples and sufficient
water to cook them without burning.
AS the apples are quite tart, q little
sugar improves the dish as to flavor
and looks, as it browns better with
the sugar. Season with salt and
serve hot as an accompaniment to
pork chops.
French Custard.-Beat three eggs
until light; add one pint of whipped
cream, swetened and favored to taste.
Serve in tall glasses with grated nut
meg over the top or garnished with

Fermentation GIVEN
AS CAUSE OF BLOAT
Solution of FormaIin Should Be
Given in Acute Cases, Says
Kentucky Station.

Red clover blossoms contain about
S.6 per cent sugar; alfalfa blossoms,
28 per cent, and white clover bios
SONS, "a per cent. After being eaten
by the stock this sugar undergoes rapid
fermentation, and is converted into
carbon diOxide, which causes bloating.
According to the Kentucky expert
ment station, one quart of 1 II per cent
solution of formalin should be given
in cases of acute bloating. A wooden
block should then be placed in the
animals mouth, and it should be given
gentle exercise If it can be got to
its feet. One-half ounce of fOrmalin
In one quart of water is the proper
solution with which to drench an ami
NAL. Formalin is the trade name for
40 per cent solution of formalde-
hyde gas in water, and can be obtained
at any drug store.

Valuable experiments in apple spray
ing extending over the last six years
have recently been concluded at the
HighmoOr orchards, Maine.
The orchards at Highmoor original
ly consisted Of 500 trees which were
planted about 80 years ago. During
the period of existence it had been in
the hands of several owners and up to
six years ago had received very indif-
ferent treatment. For "A years appar-
entity the trees had been neither
sprayed nor pruned. The apples had
been picked, and the grass which COW
cred the ground cut, but nothing else
was done.
By the fall of 1909 the number of
trees had been increased to over 1000
most Of which were Of the Ben Davis
variety. Baldwins came next fol-
lowed by limited number of other
varieties.
The experimental spraying work was
carried on in what was known as the
Ben Davis orchard No. 2 The trees
were well headed but owing to lack of
pruning were but tangled mat of
limbs. The trunks were about seven
inches in diameter.
The primary object of the expert
ments centered around the efficient
and economical control of apple scab,
with a minimum amount of injury to
the fruit and foliage. This involved
the nature of the spray used, as well
as the time, number and manner Of the
applications.
Certain sprays, including bordeaux
mixture, proved very efficient in con-
trolling scab. il applied at the proper
time. This avails but little if, as some
times has been the case, the action Of
the spray results in the removal Of
from half to two-thirds of the foliage
from the tree. Also bordeaux mixture,
when used ON the Ben Davis, although
it has given excellent scab control, has
rendered large part of the fruit, in

pointed for he chose the girl with the
bowl so clean that there were no scrap
ings, as that indicated to him care
full, frugal wife, for which he was
looking.
Where vegetables are to be served
alone, select the best looking ones,
leaving the less slightly ones for soups,
seasonings and stews.
A tablespoonful of peas or tomatoes
should be saved and added to the roast
beef gravy on the morrow or to the
vegetable salad. A single fresh to-
mato may be quartered and served as
Il garnish.
A half cupful of peas may be added
to tOmOrrOw's Omelet and thus make
tasty dish rather than a plain ONE
let.
Water In which rice is cooked add
ed to milk makes fine cream soup for
dinner.
One cupful of mashed potatoes will
make several croquettes, or patties, or
fish balls.
The green tops of the celery are just
as good for f1avoring the stew or soup
as the more tender portions.
Mullins left from breakfast may be
pulled apart and toasted. Pieces Of
cake served with simple custard and
sliced banana, is a dainty dessert
and one easy to prepare.
