Mrs. Marguerite Sauer Of Tompkins-
vile, Staten island, has offered her
house to the government for Red
Cross hospital and herself as nurse.
Mrs. Sauer came to Manhattan the
other day, and at the ferry entrance
at the Battery asked q policeman to
direct her to someone whom she could
offer her services and her property.
She told him that her husband had
volunteered in the navy, and she did
not feel like allowing herself to be out
done by him. Mrs. Sauer was referred
to Col. Jefferson r. Kane of the Amer
lean National Red Cross society and
she Immediately wrote long letter to
him.
The house in which Mr.. and Mrs.
Sauer live and which she has offered
to convert into q hospital. has a 80
foot front and is nearly double that in
depth, and has grounds running back
to the next street. Its rooms are
large, light and airy, and there is a
large cupola on top resembling the up
per part of lighthouse with large win
dows all around, and commanding a
view of New York harbor. Mr.. and
Mrs Sauer are both Germans and have
a twelve-year-old daughter living at
Dresden, SaxOny.

FIGHT ON RUSSIAN THISTLE
Land Worked Early and Thoroughly
Seldom Gives Trouble, Says Spe-
ciaIist of Kansas.

The Russian thistle can be combat
ed as easily as ordinary annual
weeds, in the opinion of G. E. Thomp-
son, specialist in soils and crops in
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
Land worked early and thoroughly
seldom gives trouble when planted to
some cultivated crop. The weed
should never be allowed to 60 to seed.
The thistle is more harmful than the
ordinary weed because 1t is drought re-
sistant and thrives when many other
weeds are dead
If left to stand after q small grain
crop has been harvested, the Russian
thistle decreases the moisture In the
ground and leaves it In poor condition
for seeding fall wheat. This pest does
not ordinarily give trouble In pastures
that are not overgraDed.

for controlling the diseases Of fruit Is
combined with the insecticides ito kill
two or more birds with one stone"
If San Jose scale is present In the
apple orchard a strong contact spray
should be given during the dormant
season. Commercial concentrated lime
sulphur diluted with about eight parts
Of water makes an ideal spray for this
pest and it also helps to destroy other
orchard pests. Spray thoroughly so that
each scale is soaked, otherwise those
escaping will reinfest the tree the next
summer.
For the control Of tree and fruit in
sects during the summer regular sys-
tenn of spraying should be given. For
instance, in the apple orchard a poison
spray including two pounds Of arsenate
of lead paste to so gallons Of water
combined with fungicide such as one
and one-half gallons Of concentrated
lime-sulphur to so gallons Of the in
secticide solution should be applied
when the buds open. This is known as
the cluster-bud spray. Repeat 1t again
within a week after the blossoms fall,
again In about two weeks.
This spraying system in the apple
orchard, If thorough applications are
made, will practically insure clean
crop Of fruit when unsprayed orchards
produce almost no marketable fruit
This applies to the small home orchard
the same as to the large commercial
orchard. We must spray and other
wise combat the insects and diseases
Of the orchard If we are to expect any
returns. The day has passed when an
orchard will take care Of itself and pro-
duce crops of fruit free from WORMS
and disease.

The only reliable way TO detect tu-
berculosis in dairy cows is by use OF
the tuberculin test, according to Dr.
J. Fl. Burt, associate professor OF vet
,erinary medicine In the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
This test" said Doctor Burt, "can
hardly be administered by the average
person. It is well to call in the aid
of a competent veterinarian, or some
other person who has had actual expe-
Tience in diagnosing the disease
"A COW which is affected with tuber-
culosis-especially In the more ad-
yanced stages of the disease-will be
a poor feeder, may cough, and will
have tendency to lose flesh, but
these are not always sure symptoms
of tuberculosis. There may be other
causes contributing to the same con-
dition. If a COW does show these symp-

GOOD ORCHARD CROPS
Most Of Insect Pests Can Be
Controlled by Spraying.
ysIurious Forms Can Be Reached by
Clean Culture, Pruning and April.
cation Of nsecticides-Pian
for Good Crop.

Most Of the orchard insect pests can
be controlled by simply applying good
orchard management. One of the most
pathetic sights about q farm is a neg
lected home orchard which often be-
comes so overgrown with weeds,
sprouts and briers and SO clogged with
brush and other rubbish that 1t may re-
semble second growth timber more
than a real orchard. In such q case
the orchardist's first Job Is to clean up
the orchard which will also eliminate
many of the insect foes of the orchard.
In the orchard, broadly speaking, we
have two groups Of insects; those
which are beneficial, including the
bees, and lady beetles, and those whcn
are more or less injurious. The bene-
fetal forms should be protected while
the Injurious ones should be combat
ed. OF the injurious forms some are
controlled by general orchard manage
ment, including clean culture, pruning
and cultivation, while others can be
reached most effectively by applying
sprays or other insecticides.
Some insects feed by extracting sap
with piercing beak, as the scales and
plant lice, while others chew and swal-
low solid material, as the caterpillars.
and beetles. Consequently two kinds
of insecticides are needed-those
which kill by contact for the sucking
types and stomach poisons for the
chewing types. Leonard Haseman of
the Missouri College Of Agriculture
saws that the poison and contact solu-
lions may be mixed and both applied at
the same time. Likewise a fungicide

also the leisurely rate maintained by

PLANTING SUDAN GRASS CROP
Rows May Be From 20 Inches to 3N
Feet Apart, Depending on Dry
Land Conditions.

Dry-land sudan grass should always
be planted in rows. The rows may be
from 20 inches to 31a feet apart, de-
pending upon dry-land conditions. This
will permit cultivation Of the inter-
vening spaces between rows, and will
produce larger yield than broad
casting, with the use Of less seed.
The crop should always be drilled in.
A grain drill may be used by stopping
up the requisite number of holes in
the drill to produce the distance de-
sired between rows.

facilities for handling such animals.
The carcass is very carefully examined
by the government inspector, and If It

IF the diseased COW is an especially
valuable animal, and 1t Is not deemed

ately, she should be separated from the

ut Is well for the dairyman to test
his herd for tuberculosis and eliminate
all those animals that are diseased
All animals that are purchased should
be tested before they are added to the
