CORNCOBS MAKE GOOD MULCH
Splendid Protection for Raspberries
and Blackberries-They Will
Keep Down Weeds.

Corncobs make a splendid mulch for
raspberries and blackberries. Spread
through the patch in late fall or win
ter they will keep down weeds the fol-
lowing spring and summer and retain
soil moisture with as evident success
as any other medium, BY replacing
the top layers each season those I'M
derneath soon rot. -. 81
Still another advantage Of such a
mulch is the clean underfooting 1t pro-
vides for pickers. -.

ment Of Agricultural
Whether the slower Is shredded or
not, 1t is of great Importance that it
be well stored and not left long ex-
posed to the weather.
The mistake Is sometimes made of
placing the hay crop in sheds and
barns and leaving the corn slower In
shocks in the field. The reverse Is
better inasmuch as most kinds Of hay
will not depreciate so rapidly in feed
ing value and will keep better in
stacks and ricks than corn slower. I'm
less placed under cover slower should
be fed in the fall and early winter.
If left exposed until February or
March it has little feeding value.
In the principal corn-producing
states the autumns are usually dry,
and corn fodder dries thoroughly in
the shocks and is shredded and stored
in barns or feed sheds with little dam
ger of heating or molding. The fod-
der should not be wet when shredded
and stored, but damp days are prefer
able for doing the hauling ana shred-
ding because the blades are more pill
able and the fodder is therefore ham
died with less waste. But in some
sections, especially in northern states,
where the corn is full of sap when cut,
and where damp fall weather prevails,
much care is necessary In storing corn
fodder or slower to prevent heating
and holding. In such localities it
should be placed under cover in ricks
not more than g or feet In thickness,
or, If shredded, layers Of dry straw
several inches deep should alternate
with layers of the shredded slower.
The depth of the layers of slower can
vary from several inches to foot or
more, according to its dryness when
stored. The dry straw will take up
some Of the moisture from the slower
and prevent heating.

CHOICE VARIETIES OF PEAR

Bartlett Is Leader.
CBy G. B. BRACKETT.)

The pear has long been regarded as
one of the most luscious of the many
kinds of fruit brought under cultiva-
ton. The choice varieties excel most
apples in rich, juicy texture and deli
cacy of favor, and for both dessert
and culinary purposes, either canned
or in the fresh state, the pear is con-
sidered a great acquisition. With a
proper selection of varieties and with
careful handling and storing of the
fruit its season of use may be extend
ed from midsummer to late winter
without resorting to artificial means of
preservation.
Two distinct classes or types of the
pear are now grown in this country !:
Q) the European and (2) the Asiatic,
or Oriental.
The European type is native of
Europe; from it most of our domestic
varieties have sprung. Pears Of this
class are well adapted to the New

Artillery of the British army, who is

hensive idea of the whole great

One of DR.. Bakers most interesting
points in his talk was his explanation
of the various gases and their effects
on the soldiers Chlorine smothers

lachrymatory gas hurts the eyes and
heart depressing gases accelerate the
pulse rate.
The doctor spoke of the good work
done by the Y. NC. A. in. the camps

when the Allies had an effective block

with the very smallest and backed up
in turn by the 1S-pounders, the How

guns produced a curtain of fire that

diseases that have been troubling far

in Kula for several days looking into
the matter Of potato wilt diseases.
He will also study the same problem
in the Haiku and other regions, and
Ircbably will give some attention to
the causes back Of pineapple wilt.
Mr.. Carpenter states that the pota-
to diseases in the islands are prin-
cipally two in number, and both are
common on the mainland. In fact
he says it is probable that most Of
the seed brought here is infected.
Careful seed selection and rotation Of

that accompany any war and declared
the United States should say: This
shall be the last war. We will never
allow another"
What do we want to defend by

fight to maintain our rights of travel
and trade upon the ocean highways.
But we ourselves uphold the war sys-
TEN which makes the seas dangerous
in every war of modern nations. No
nation ought to turn the oceans into
a theater for battle"
The doctor also said that every sub
terfuse and excuse IN favor of war
breaks into shame before the great
words, Love thy neighbor as myself, ,
or Overcome evil with good" and
that If we must have war 1t is because
Christendom is not converted to its

In speaking of the woman's part he
said: Her role is to expect the best,
to seek to develop the best, and to
keep friendly attitude towards every
one. Believe me, the people will be
ready to listen if the women say so.

much will depend upon whether the
Democrats or Republicans organize
and control the house, as to the sue
cess of this program.
"The appropriation bills which failed
to pass at the last session of congress
must be passed. They are the army
appropriation bill, the sundry civil bill,
the general deficiency bill, the military
academy bill and the river and harbor
bill.
IF the International Situation re-
mains practically the same as at pres
~ent. undoubtedly one of the first meas
ures which congress will put through
will be bill giving the president such
powers to protect American vessels
and American lives at sea as were con-
tanned in the armed neutrality bill
which failed at the last session. 1t is
true that the president has determined
that he already has power to arm mer-
chant vessels to protect themselves
against the submarines, but the armed
neutrality bill gives him other and
wider powers"
