RIGHT THINNING AIDS TREES
Helps to Produce Marketable Fruit
and Secures Best Selling and Most
Profitable Crops.

Proper thinning helps trees to pro-
duce marketable fruit each season :;
tends to avoid danger of alternating
crops. Secures best selling and most
profitable crops.
Care should be used by pickers not
to break off the fruit buds for the fol-
lowing year. Never allow the orchard
boxes filled with the fruit to stand in
the sun.
Where possible, pick fruit during
the coolest part Of the day.
Picking at proper time is just as
important as any other part of the
work.
Fruit picked too early is usually IN
fit for food.
Fruit picked too late is usually too
ripe for shipment.
Apples picked after heavy frost do
not hold up well.
Rain on fruit that is maturing in
jures the keeping quality.
Care should be exercised in picking
the different kinds of fruit so the mar
ketable qualities will not be injured.
Proper packing is just as important
as proper sorting. for a good neat
pack helps sell the fruit.

Why She ls Hated.

Governor Whitman said at ban
quet I'm Albany:
Germany has the whole world
against her because she has attempted
to change the eternal verities. The
eternal verities-that you mustn't sink
a hospital ship, that you mustn't muir
der babies, that you mustn't betray
your trusting friends, and so forth and
so on-all these things Germany has
tried to change. But she has tried in
vain.
Germany reminds me of the chap
who used to hold out a dollar or two
from his envelope every pay day.
His wife suspected him, and to make
suspicion sure. she got a ready reckon
er to check him up by.
'"The next pay day, after consulting
the ready reckOner, she said:
".Are you sure that's all, GeorgeT
"George turned red.
"'Of course it's ALL he said, con-
fusedly, with cough.
"'Well, George, / got a ready reck-
oner here, and, according to it, should

"Let's see your ready reckoner,
said George.
HE examined the book, then he
tossed 1t contemptuously aside.

penSe, as well as eliminate waste.
Eggs are fairly reasonable and with
rice still within reach we shall be able
to keep up the body balance if enough
thought is given to the preparation OF
the food given to the children. Adults
need food only to supply waste and
give heat and energy, while the grow
ing youth need building material which
is supplied in green vegetables. milk,
cream. butter and eggs, of which they
must not be deprived.
Summer squash, spinach. chard,
green corn are all vegetables that when
well seasoned with some form of fat
will make good meal.
Vegetable soups using a few bones
to give flavor to the stock and small
piece of soup meat, with the addition
Of vegetables should make two or three
good meals. Two toasted slices of
bread well buttered placed in the bot
tom of the soup plate and the soup

flying luncheon for child or anyone
not doing hard labor. The soup meat
after all the extractives have been re-
moved Is still nutritious meat and with
little judicious seasoning makes a
good meat loaf or chopped with cold
potatoes or bits of vegetables left from
the soup good hash results.
The first day serve the soup with
vegetables and small cubes of the
meat, the next time the meat may be
in the form of loaf. and If any is left
the hash will be its last appearance.
Cook a cupful of rice until tender,
adding a teaspOonful Of salt. Melt
three tablespOonfuls of butter and add
one teaspoonful of curry powder. Stir
this lightly into the rice. Pack in but

curry little chopped green pepper
cooked in butter adds a most appetiz-

SPRAY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE
First Summer Application for Apples
Should Be Made Just Before
the Tree Blossoms.

If apple trees have San Jose scale,

while the trees are dormant with a

rate of one to eight gallons of water.
The first summer spray for apples
should be applied just before the trees

lime-sulphur at the rate Of one to forty
gallons of water, and to this mixture

SCIENTIST MAKES PATRIOTIC OFFER

President Richard COckburn Mac
Laurin offered to the government the
services of the Massachusetts Institute
of Technology the moment it was an
nounced that President Wilson had
terminated relations with Germany.
This meant the services of the entire
instructing staff and of all the labora-
tories, and they are offered with that
highest efficiency Of service which can
be given only by an unbroken corps Of
trained men in laboratories Of the
highest standard with whose every de-
tail they are thoroughly familiar. This
is preparedness of the most important
kind, for war Is quite as much strug-
gle of skilled engineers as it Is of
soldiers.
President MacLaurin was born in
Edinburgh, educated at Cambridge uni
versty, England; became a trustee and
a dean of the University of New Zea-
land, and in New York, head Of the
department of mathematics and then.
