SOX AND CUBS TO TRY TRADES
IN NEW YORK NEXT WEEK
BY Mark Shields

American league meetings in New
York the two local clubs are expect
ed to do a bit of shopping that will
add strength to the combinations
and make each a contender in its re-
spective circuit.
Presidents Comiskey and Weegh-
man and Managers Rowland and
Mitchell will be on hand to represent
White Sox and Cubs, and as repre-
sentatiVes of every other major
league club will be in attendance,
business can be done right on the
spot.
1t is no secret that the White Sox
are after a capable first baseman. An
efficient guardian Of the initial stop
would make the South Siders impOr-
tant factors in the JohnsOnian me
mage, and would probably mean a
pennant for this neck of the woods.
Weakness in that one spot last year
caused the loss of the flag. Ness and
Fourier have had thorough trials at
the job and neither has indicated he
is a big league star.
Ness was the better of the two, an
earnest, energetic workman, who
fieIded to the best of his ability and
hit the ball a few hard ticks. Jack,
however, is slow and awkward on de-
tense and allows many balls to slide
through that would be turned into
outs by another man.

of last year to get the benefit of his
excellent batting, but there is no
question of the big fellows ability to
play first base,

CULTIVATION OF AN ORCHARD
Summer Work 10 Necessary II Profit
10 To- Be Mads-Three Methods
Given by Expert.

Summer cultivation Of the orchard
10 necessary II q profit il to be made.
In the opinion Of #. 8. Merrill, assist.
= ant professor Of horticulture in the
Kansas States Agricultural college.
"Three methods may be practiced in
the cultivation Of an orchard" said
Professor Merrill. 1.-THE first Of these
is the sod-mulch system. This is prac-
ticed on bottom land or land high In
fertility. Orchards on fertile land are
likely to produce heavy growth OF
wood, which prevents the formation OF
fruit buds. In order to overcome this
q grass crop should be sowed In the
orchard. The grass crop is moved
when necessary and allowed to re-
main on the ground.
1.-THE second method, often used,
consists of sowing a grass crop in the
orchard and harvesting the hay. This
system is injurious to the trees and re-
duces the size and value Of the fruit.
"Where the topography and slope Of
the land will permit, clean cultivation
is advisable. 1t kills the weeds and
conserves the moisture Orchards cul.
tivated in this manner will produce
larger fruit than under other systems
Of cultivation.
"Clean cultivation will keep down
insect pests by destroying their hiber'
mating places and food supply. The
buffalo tree-hopper Is less injurious
in clean cultivated orchards because It
removes their food supply"

economical one for certain classes Of
travel. This was the opinion expressed
ut the recent meeting Of the New York
State association of County Highway
Superintendent by many of those
present.
Practically all the recent roads built
by these men have two courses Of
broken stone, and frequently 1t is pos
sible to build the roads with u lower
course of cheap local stone, using the
more expensive stone from distance
for the upper course only. This re-
duces the first cost without causing
any reduction in the life and strength
of the road. When they are finished
they are sometimes treated at once
with tar or asphalt, but usually this
treatment is deferred long enough for
travel over the road to reveal any
weak spots, so they can be repaired be-
fore the oiling Is done. 1t Is this de-
velopment of efficient and economical
methods of maintenance with the help
of road oils which has led to the
renaissance of water-bound macadam
in New York. 1t is one Of many recent
indications that where the work of
maintenance Is thoroughly done and
cost records Of it are properly kept
important light Is thrown on the best
types of construction to carry travel
of different classes and intensities.

CAPTURE OF COOLING MOTHS
Old Practice Of Placing BurIap Band
Around Tree Trunk Effective
In Reducing Numbers.

One Of the new-fangled cOntraptions
for the orchard Is trap to catch the
codling moth. Most Of the cOdling
larvae after leaving the apples spin
a silken case or web under the rough
bark on the trunk and there change
to the moth stage. The old practice
Of placing q burlap band around the
trunk to entice the worms has been
effective in reducing their number, but
is rarely used as 1t requires great
deal Of attention. The new trap con.
sists Of strip Of burlap wound around
the trunk in the usual way, but over
this Is tackled a strip OF 12.mesh
screen, six or eight inches wide, which
encircles the tree trunk over the bur-
lap band. The upper and lower edges
of the screen are turned under and
carefully tackled to the bark, which
has been scraped smooth.

Gases Used in Warfare,

A recent scientific report from Eu-
rope treats of the principal gases used
for attack. These include chlorine,
bromine, sulphur dioxide and formal
dehyde. Chlorine and bromine have
proved most effective because of their
great weight. They roll over the
ground like water These gases are
released from compression tanks. The
sulphur diOxide and formaldehyde are
produced by burning the appropriate
chemicals. There are many gases
more deadly than those named, but
in order to be effective for trench
work the poison gas must have suffi-
cient weight to stick to the ground.
The gas mask has practically done
away with the actual effectiveness Of
the gas attacks, but they are said to
have considerable psychological effect
still, many soldiers thinking they are
'gassed" when they are only smelling
the harmless vapors set up inside the
gas masks.

EUGENE WAR AID
Former French Empress Active,
Though 81 Years Old.
Consort of the IlI.Fated Napoleon III
Spending All Her Means and
Strength Caring for Wounded
at English Home.

When German prisoners Of war are
marched to bnrbed-wire inclosure
near Frimley, AlderShot, England, they
pass down an avenue below a beautiful
mansion standing on wooden hill. 1t
often happens that as the Germans file
past the gateway lodge, sad-eyed,
venerable woman IS standing or sitting
there. 1t is doubtful if any of the
prisoners know that she is the surviv-
ing consort of Napoleon III, who deliv-
cred his sword to the king of Prussia
at Sedan, September l, 1870.
Empress Eugene celebrated her
ninety-second birthday recently by
watching the sight of a new and large
detachment of prisoners marching to-
ward their concentration camp. 1t
was dramatic contrast to the events
of many years ago which robbed her
of her seat on the French imperial
throne.
Surely there is not another woman
in the world who has lived through
such experiences as this one, who
forms the link between the riotous
past of the French and the glorious
present of united demOcracieS 1t was
her beauty and popularity which aided
Napoleon III to establish himself as
monarch. It was the interest aroused
by her marriage with Napoleon Ill
which enabled him to bring about the
Crimean war. although that war mark
ed the beginning of his fall.
Engenie's influence over her hus-
band was we'll known and it is possible
that her intelligence went far toward
helping him to realize that Prussian-
ism was the real menace of Europe.
When the North German Bund was
formed in 1866 he knew that here was
his real rival. From the date Of the
formation of this bund Prussia has
gone steadily forward with plans for
world power, and it must be with feel
ings of joy that Empress Eugene sees
today the greatest countries on earth
allied with France against the ola
enemies of Napoleon III.
Throughout England the name of
Empress Eugenie is revered. Wher-
ever charity and kindness were to be
found it was almost certain that her
name would appear in connection
Herewith. Throughout the years that
have elapsed since she went to Eng
land with Napoleon III after the de-
feat at Sedan. she has worked I'M
ceasingly among the poor and the sick.
Her wealth has been at the disposal
of charitable organizations. Her only
son, Prince Louis, who went to Eng
land with her, died on the field OF
battle in Zululand.
Her home on Farnborough Hill has
been transformed into a hospital for
British officers. Since early In 1913
she has been using all of her means
and what strength she has left In car
ing for these men who come to her
from the battlefrids of France.

EVERY GOLFER IS CHAMPION
II He Doesn't Like the Ordinary
Ciassifications He Can Make New
Ones to Suit Himself.

1t long has been mystery to ths
man who doesn't play golf to UNDER
stand what there is about the game to
make otherwise dignified and rational
persons to 90 nutty over It, Should a
nOn.golfer casually confide to his FAM
fly doctor that all is not well, and that
he finds that he can't get away with
three square meals day and light
lunch before retiring quite so happily
as he used to- the medical man prob
ably will tell him to play golf And If
the non-gOlfer asks if the doctor plays
the game, the physician proceeds to
give him 5000 words on how he made
the seventeenth hole in three, and that
he can swing his mashie like Chick
Evans. And 1t Is the same with other
acquaintances; they all prescribe their
fad as means of battling old age.
Another queer thing about the game
is the ready conceit acquired by the
dub, says the Seattle POSt-Intelligen-
lessons and he Is ready to bet money
on himself And he will go to lot of
trouble to round up bunch of other
dubs and take them out to the links
to trim them out of 40 cents. Any
player may be champion In his class.
He may be the best 240.pound, side
whiskered and bald-headed player in
the world. II he doesn't like the ordi-
nary classification he can make new
ones to suit him. There Is no reason
why any man should not be champion
In his class.
Also it is exasperating for man
who must stay In the Office or store
all day to have somebody come in and
clank his golf sticks on the floor and
talk about niblicks and brassies and
the "drive through stroke" whatever
that Is. And just when the conversa-
ton gets around to the point where
one could happily expatiate on the
Joys of backyard garden, motor
boat or a flvver, the bounder usually
rises and leaves hurriedly.

QUESTION OF BETTER ROADS
Poor Policy for Farmer to Refuse to
Listen to Arguments for Improve
ment Of Highways.

1t wouldn't do any Of us any harm
to look thoroughly into the question
of better roads. Don't be narrow
enough to take one side Of the question
and refuse to listen to any facts or
opinions advanced on the other side.
A man told us the other day that he
had been trying to talk to another
man who had an entirely erroneous
opinion in regard to the federal aid
proposition. "He literally wouldn'
listen to me-" he said. His head was
so full of the wrong idea that no SOUND
seemed able to penetrate it." Tc
listen is not necessarily to be con
vinced, and to refuse to listen Is tt
refuse to be broad minded enough tt
hear both sides and form real opin
ion.-Twentieth Century Farmer.

WASH FOR SHOT-HOLE BORER
LIme-suIphur az Used for San Jose
Scale Is Quite Effective-AIso
Use Whitewash.

One gallon Of commercial lime-sul-
phur to eight gallons Of water as used
for the San Jose scale during the
dormant season is quite effective. An
oil spray as recommended for the
scale Is also beneficial. Stiff white
wash with pint Of crude carbolic acid
added to each ten gallons, is also used.
These washes may be applied as
sprays before the buds open, but where
it is necessary to repeat the applica-
tion after the leaves appear they can
be applied to the trunk and main limbs
with brush. The best and cheapest
remedy Is prevention by keeping all
trees vigorous.
In the case Of apple, pear and other
trees which do not eXude gum to any
extent, it Is a question of judgment
whether it will be possible to save
trees attacked by this insect. If the
infestation Is rather severe. 1t usually
indicates that the tree Is beyond hope
of saving. Individual branches on
trees may often show attack by this
insect and should be promptly removed
and burned to prevent further increase
and spread of the borer.

MiLKROOM is A NECESSITY
Particularly Desirable In Warm
Weather and Should Be Screened
and Kept Clean.

A milkroom is a necessity in dairy
Ing, according to w. e. Tomson, In
structor in dairy husbandry in the
Kansas State Agricultural college.
A milkroom is needed at all times,
but is particularly important in warm
weather, pointed out Mr.. Tomson. Milk
must be kept away from flies The
room should be tightly screened and
kept In a sanitary condition.
The milkroom affords good facilities
for keeping the milk cool. This Is es-
sential because when the temperature
of the milk is higher than degrees
undesirable bacteria that cause the
milk to spoil in short time are likely
to develop.

The cheapest eating in the world Is
rice and peanuts, measured by the
calories, which constitute the only real
test. The former costs five cents per

cents. So that II person would eat

what hits our appetite. says the Ohio

to the bushels or pecks. There is

Measuring Your Pace.

How many steps do you take to the
mile? Even If your considered reply
be "1,760," shall take leave to doubt
It, Should you be a British infantry
man your pace will be the longest Of
any infantryman. The Russian pace
is the shortest, being but 271s inches;
the French, Italian and Austrian pace
is 20 inches, the Germans do 80 inches,
while British soldiers stride an extra
half inch. But your own pace, what
of it? 1t depends upon your height.
Take your eyebrow height, halve 1t,
and that represents your pace. You
will find 1t to be somewhere between
30 inches and 32 inches, so that you
will need between 1000 and 2,1OO
PAGES to the mile.-London Chronicle.
