and quietly review the past months.
Perhaps these months brought Us
many trials, but they also brought u
many blessings. II Is the blessings we
hould itemlze and magnify and for

contentedly and say, "Well, last year

'roubles came our way, the blessings

Saving the Bullets.

There are several kinds of airplanes
adapted to different kinds of military
service and their equipment varies ac-
cordlng to whether they are intended
chiefly for scouting, for bomb dropping
or for gun fighting. On most of the
machines of the last-named or battle
plane type, writer in the Scientific
American says, machine gun is so
fitted as to point along the axis of the
machine. The pilot, who Is alone, d.
reefs the nose of his airplane at the
enemy and fires across the propeller.
Two plans were tried for preventing
the propeller from being broken by
the bullets. The first consisted Of
stopping the machine gun whenever
the propeller came within the field of
fire, but experience showed that fire.
quent stopping of the gun with the
propellers making 1,200 revolutions
minute ends in putting the gun out Of
order Designers then placed steel
plates on those parts of the propeller
likely to be struck, and these plates

pcller. 1t is mathematically calculat-
ed that only one bullet in eighteen Is

wage WAR ON
ORCHARD PESTS
Fruit Growers Can Do Most VAL
liable Work During Fall and
Winter Months.
SPRAY AFTER FOLIAGE DROPS
Destruction OF Eggs Of Insects More
Easy Then-Advantages Of Plant
ing Better Seed corn-Save
the Farm Wood Lot.

In order to increase the production
" fruit 1t Is essential that fruit grow
ers wage q continuous fight on orchard
pests. Some of the most valuable con-
troll work can be accomplished during
the fall and winter months. Certain
destructive insects are held In check
only by spraying during the dormant
period of trees, when stronger washes
may he used than when the trees are In
foliage. Many insects spend the win
ter on the tree In the egg, larva, or
pupal stage. and their destruction In
the course of pruning and other or
chard work is practicable ana is of
much importance in keeping them re-
duced Certain fungous and bacterial
diseases, particularly pear blight and
apple canker, are best worked upon at
this time.
Practically all of the orchard scale
insects can be successfully controlled
by spraying the trees after the foliage
has dropped. This work may be done
either in the fall or during the winter
when the temperature is above freez-
ing and in the spring before the buds
come ont. During these periods n
strong solution of limesulphur is used
by great many orchardists in con
trolling San Jose scale and many other
serious scale pests.
Other scale insect pests, such as the
cherry scale. oyster shell scale, etc,
can usually be held In check by the
dormant spray with lime-sulphur wash.
The treatment is also effective against
the pear leaf blister mite, which is uni
versally present on pears, and in many
localities becomes serious apple pest.
Same plant lice that are destructive es-
peclally to young apple trees winter in
the egg stage and are destroyed by this
treatment One thing that must be re-
membered In applying the dormant
spray is that the solution should cover
every part of the tree or 1t will not be
effective.

and summer and the planting of addi-
tional acres.
Sufficient tests have been made IL
various parts of the United States to
prove that by proper selection ant
care of seed corn, the average acre
yield can be easily raised to 80 or even
10 bushels. Varieties that have repeat
edly yielded well in n locality and have
become adapted to local conditions
often yield 10 or 20 bushels more per
acre than unadapted varieties. In the
many field tests which have been con-
Quoted, field-selected seed has yielded
from TO 1S bushels more per acre
than crib-selected seed. The results
are conclusive, for in no test has the
crib-selected seed yielded more than
the field-selected seed receiving proper
care. Farmers bulletin No. 415, "Seed
Corn" gives full information.

SAVE THE FARM WOOD LOT.
Remove Only Undesirable Timber for
Fuel Supply.

The permanent wood lot is an es-
sential part of n well-equlpped farm,
and in many cases It is the source Of
the winter fuel supply. In heavily
wooded states, especially, farmers are
likely to overlook this fact and reck-
lessly cut, misuse, or clear up their
forest areas. No doubt more wood will
be used for fuel this winter than Is
usually the case, but II Is never advis-
able to allow thrifty, immature trees to
he used when 1t is possible to get in
ferlor, mature timber
This is n good season to clean up the
wood lot, improve the timber land, and
gather the winter wood supply at the
same time. All dead trees and large,
dead limbs should be made up into
cordwood first, then the trees that
have dead or dying tops. Remove
those which are too crowded to make
satisfactory growth keeping in mind
always to leave those trees that will
make the best salable timber. Look up
at the crowns of the trees In deciding
which ones to thin out I'm crowded
group. and take out the intermediate
trees which are being encroached upon
by the more dominant ones. Do not
make the mistake of overthinning, but
leave the small trees which have prac-
tically no effect on the main stand Of
the wood lot to develop into timber of
the future. Leave the trees as evenly
spaced as possible. Cut out all vines
from the standing timber and remove
the varieties which have little value In
the wood lot or on the market.

STORE ONLY BEST SEED CORN.
Good Seed Versus More Acres as a
Means Of Increasing Crop.

By planting better seed corn larger
Yields can be secured without any
more labor except In harvesting larger
crops, says the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. This nation has
planted and cultivated over 10000, 900
acres of corn annually during the past
ten years. The average yield per acre
has been less than 81 bushels, and be-
low 30 bushels every year. 1t is very
probable that the demand for corn will
continue to increase and we should
place ourselves I'm n position to meet
the demand In the best and most prac-
ticable manner. As demands for corn
have increased we have planted more
acres. There is an easter and better
way, namely the growing Of more bush
els TO the acre.
BY planting 100000 more acres of
corn, according TO the average acre
yield. we could expect less than 2T0,-
100000 more bushels of corn, whereas
by increasing the acre yield by only
four bushels on the 100,000,000 acres
we now plant, we can expect 100000
900 more bushels. A little more care

Germany's Plans to Destroy
Commerce Have Failed

Christiania, Nov. 3. = The German
plans for destroying the worlds COM
merce have failed, says the Norwegt-
an shipping Magazine, which adds
that there is no great danger of the
disappearance of merchant ships from
the seas by reason of torpedoing for
at least ten years
The article is accompanied by a
chart showing the curve of English
and French losses for four months
March to June. The allies have every
reason to be of good courage when
they look back on these results" says
the writer. "and they may await the
future U-boat war with confidence.
The chart curves show favorable re-
suits for England, and this may be
ascribed partly to the arming OF
merchant ships He believes that the
story of 1915-16 will be repeated;
that the U-boats will be crippled un-
less or until the Central Powers can
find new inventions which will make
them powerful enough to gain the up
per hand again"
Another reason for this favorable
result says the writer, is the fact
that when the U-boat war started in
March. Germany sent out every
U-boat she could muster. good, bad
and Indifferent, and the English de-
fense, which was ready, "reaped

Failure of the submarine war also is
attributed in part to faulty construc-
