CONCERTS THROUGH THE AIR
Enjoyable Musical Program That
Emanates From Doctors Radio
Experimental Laboratory.

War bulletins and important world
happenings, now and then interspersed
In q nightly musical program from the
air, emanate from the radio expert
mental laboratory Of DR.. Lee DeFor-
est at Highbridge, N. Y. Among the
musical numbers on the nightly pro-
gram are operate selections, popular
dance music, sentimental songs, Ha-
waiian medleys, and stirring band and
orchestra monograph offerings.
In point of clearness it is said that
the xylophone and the accordion are
among the best instruments for wire
less transmission, although the brass
band and the human voice, especially
If soprano, Ofttimes are equally clear
to all the listening amateur stations.
To transmit the human voice by wire
less telephone the speaker or opera
tor talks into an ordinary microphone.
In the case of the musical selection,
on the other hand, the micrOphone Is
placed inside the cabinet of a phono-
graph, where it can get the full vol
ume of sound.-Scientific American.

MistIetoe Was Ancient Panacea.

Numerous curious and ridiculous SUI
perstitiOns as to methods of prevent
ing disease were believed in years ago,
and are not altogether extinct even
today, it is said.
Much ancient faith clustered about
the mandrake root, which was carved
in the form of a doll, dressed in fine
clothes, and kept in box or coffin con-
cealed in some corner of the house.
Each month it was washed in wine
and water and freshly CARRIED.
Another universal cure was to carry
a piece of mistletoe which had been
cut from q tree by golden sickle and
caught in a white vessel as il fell.
Metal scraped from a church bell or q
piece of the rope was supposed TO have
q similar protective influence against
disease, as also cloth stained in the
blood Of a murderer, or the rope with
which he was hanged.

FEEDING SILAGE TO POULTRY
Splendid Results Obtained in Wiscon-
sin--Average Run Is Recon-
mended by Expert.

The secretary Of the Wisconsin
Poultry association advises that silage
made from corn is being fed to poultry
In that state with splendid results.
We have seen the busy little hen drop
ping into the pit silo, and We have
failed TO see one that had learned
that trick that did not have a splendid
red comb. That red comb, of course,
meant eggs.
Mr.. Halpin, the secretary, says that
the only trouble with feeding silage is
that too many select for the poultry
the silage that has the most corn in
it. He recommends giving them the
average run rather than that with too
much grain in it, because the latter
makes them too fat. There is no ques-
ton but that silage is going to be used
more largely in feeding poultry.-Da-
kota Farmer.

SPRAY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE
Should Be Omitted From Orchards
Free From Pest-Grower Should
Inspect Trees Carefully.

(By T. ]. TALBERT. Missouri College Of
Agriculture)
Many fruit growers in Missouri have
been applying q dormant spray every
winter In orchards which are not in
tested with San Jose scale. The dor
mant spray should be omitted In or
chards free from San Jose scale. This
spray, If properly made. does the or
chard no injury, but the benefits TO be
derived from it do not justify the ex-
pense of making the spray unless the
trees are infested with San Jose
scale.
Every fruit grower should inspect
his trees carefully this winter to see if
San Jose scale is present. If the scale
is found and the trees are badly in
tested, they should be sprayed thor
oughly this winter and again next
spring, just before growth starts.
Where the trees are not badly infest-
ed, only one spraying is necessary, and
the best time for the application is in
the spring.
Commercial lime sulphur or scale
eide may be used for the control of
San Jose scale. The lime sulphur has
the preference for use because it is
the cheapest and it is a fungicide as
we'll as an insecticide. 1t should be
used at strength of 1 TO while
the scalecide or oil preparation should
be used at a strength of about / TO u.
If you do not know San Jose scale,
and suspect its presence in your or
chard, send twigs or bark from the af-
fected trees TO the Missouri College
of Agriculture, Columbia, No., for
Identification.

HIS TREASURE WAS A ROCK
kentuckian Tainted When PIow
Struck Hard Object.

For generations tradition has de-
creed that the Indians in the aborig-
inal days of Kentucky buried pot of
gold on the farm of John Williams in
Casey county. A few days ago Mr..
Williams decided TO institute system
attic search for the treasure, the Davis
vile (Ky.) Messenger states. His pow
erful team of mules he hitched to a
strong pillow and in the locality where
the gold is supposed to be hidden he
began digging deep into the earth. II
always has been claimed that the pot
is of gigantic proportions. After con-
siderable deep blowing had been done
and numerous excavations made, Mr..
Williams mules came TO a sudden
standstill when the pillow struck an OBJ
iect that could not be moved.
So, certain that he had found the
traditional pot, he was overjoyed and
tainted. Passers-by hurried 10 his as
sistance and he was survived, and told
those present what he was seeking.
An excavation was made and it was
proved the pillow had struck a huge
rock. However, the search is being
continued.
There are q number of farms in
Boyle county upon which it is alleged
large quantities of silver and gold are
buried. In most cases it is said TO
have been hidden by misers or fright
ened people during war times. Not
few early residents lost their lives
by keeping their money in their homes
and attempting to hold it against the
intrusion of robbers That was one
reason treasures were buried.
Some years ago some parties near
Paint Lick, in, Garrard county, in
wrecking an old house found several
thousand dollars which had been hid
den during war times. The man who
had hidden the money died without
| telling the secret.

The most satisfactory treatment is
prevention of cOntagiOn, combined with
extraction Of the worms from the in

be removed to quarters apart from the
well ones. All coops and runs where
infected birds have been should be
thoroughly disinfected. The coOps

there are many earthwOrms and slugs
in the ground which has been Occu-
pied by chicks with gapes, get rid of
the worms with one of the patented
worm exterminators sold by nearly
all seedsmen. Always burn all chicks
which die of the gapes, and whenever
you find gapeworms, or extract them
from sick chicks, be sure to burn the
worms. Disinfect all droppings
Earthworms do not cause gapes, but
may be contaminated with the eggs OF
embryonic gapeworms and so become
a source of infection in ground where
the disease has existed.
A small piece of copperas placed
in the drinking water is said TO pre-
vent contagion. Tincture of asafetida
n teaspoonful in a quart of water, is
used for the same purpose. and is said
to have q curative action. Three
drachms of salicylate of soda in q
quart of drinking water is also
recommended as preventive.
