successful. While a considerable de-
gree Of skill In spraying has now been
reached by a large proportion Of fruit
growers, there Is still room for a good
deal Of improvement. OF all orchard
work, spraying Is most likely to be
sighted or even neglected, and there
is need that fruit growers have a more
intimate knowledge OF spraying mate
rails, spraying machinery, and especial
ly the why's and wherefors Of spray
ing.
The term spraying" unfortunately,
has come to have a general meaning,
and 1t is apparent that some fruit
growers do not yet understand that the
kind of spray and the manner Of appli-
cation depend upon the character Of in
sect or insects to be controlled. The
up-to-date orchardist will know just
what each spray application Is intend
ed to do and will realize the import
ance Of spraying at the proper time
and in the proper way. A better I'M
Outstanding on the part of fruit grow
ers of the life and habits Of the insect
pests Of their crops and of the nature
of insecticides will add much TO the
efficiency of their work in fighting
them.
There are several important insect
pests, however, from which spraying
does not give protection, and the con-
troll Of these must not be overlooked
by the orchardist. or these the most
serious are the several species OF
borers, which are best destroyed by
systematic 'worming," once or twice
each year. The great desirability OF
keeping insects reduced by up-to- date
orchard practice, as fertilization,
thorough cultivation, and attention to
pruning and other operations cannot
be emphasized too strongly, and IS
well appreciated by our most progress
sive and successful growers.
A knowledge Of the character Of the
mouth parts of insects is Of importance
to the fruit grower, for it determines
the general character of sprays to be
used. Broadly speaking, all insects Sc
G) BY actually biting out and swal-
lowing portions Of the food material, or
(2) by sucking out the juices from the
interior portions Of the host. While
there are exceptions to this general
statement, these are unimportant in
the present connection.
Biting and sucking types OF mouth
parts are on two quite distinct plans.
In the former there are two horny,
opposable jaws. working sideways, and
certain accessory appendages, with
which particles OF the leaf, bud, fruit
or other food substances are cut out
and passed on as more or less solid
particles to the food canal for diges-
ton. This type is found In several or
ders of insects, as in caterpillars, or
the larvae Of moths and butterflies,
adult beetles and their grubs, grass
hoppers, cricksts, sawfiies, bees, etc.
All biting insects are subject to de-
struction with arsenicals or other stom-
ach poisons. Some chewing insects. as
borers and certain root-infesting in
sects, do not feed in situations where
poisons may be applied, and for these
different treatment Is necessary.

More HabitabIe.
time and FUEL ARE SAVED
Device Is Warm Weather Comfort In
Any HousehoId-Food May Be
Left Cooking Without Any
Worry as to the Results.

The fireless cooker Is a warm wealth
in conjunction with kerosene stove.
1t means not only economy in fuel but
IL makes the kitchen more habit
able place when the warm days come.
Fireless cookers are now being made
and used in hundreds of homes In
town and country. What is more pleas
ing to the housekeeper than to put
her dinner in the fireless cooker before
she goes to town or market and to find
it ready for serving when she returns?
Advantages Of Cooker.
The fireless cooker offers several
advantages. The first is economy Of
time, as the hOusekeeper may leave
the food cooking without worrying
about the result while she Is engaged
I'm other household duties or while she
Is away from home. Some foods are
improved by long cooking at relatively
low temperature. The texture and
flavor Of tougher cuts Of meats, old,
tough fowl and ham are improved by
slow cooking. Cereals and dried le-
gumes and dried fruits are more pala-
table and wholesome when cooked for
a long time. Soups and stews are
delicious when cooked in the cooker.
Baking, however, cannot be done very
conveniently and satisfactorily in the
ordinary homemade fireless cooker.
Economy of Fuel.
In some sections of the country
economy of fuel must be an important
consideration. The food for the cooker
may be started on n wood or coal
range when the morning meal is being
prepared. The food to be cooked Is
first heated to boiling point on the
stove in the cooking vessel and then
this vessel, covered with tight lid,
is quickly placed in the cooker where
the cooking continues. The cooker is
so constructed that the heat does not
escape. For long cooking it Is neces-
sary to place in the cooker under the
cooking vessel hot radiator A soap
stone is the best radiator and can be
purchased at most hardware stores at
30 cents. A stove lid, brick, or disk
made of concrete, heated and placed In
the cooker, may serve as the radiator.

Watch Pics for Ailments.

Don't let ailments get "A start in the
war filters. For the first week at
least after narrowing look the pigs
over carefully before each feeding. If
any indications Of scours appear the
sow's feed should be reduced imme-

heavy feed of rich slop given when
scours begin to show possibly may
kill the entire litter. A little extra
care for the first few days is very NEG
essary to prevent losses.

WAS SAND-LOT PITCHER
Frank Baker Began Professional Ca
reer in Home Town.
BY JACK VEIOCK.

New York. July 2.-J. Franklin
Baker, home run monarch and now
star hird-baseman with Miller Hug
gins rejuvenated Yankees, played his
first ball game as a professional in
his home town of Ridgeley, Nd, in the
spring of 1907.
Previous to that time Baker had
played amateur baseball and like
most youngsters he started out to be
a pitcher. He had the strength and
speed, and he lsbored to perfect him
self as a moundsrnan, but never with
much success. '''
He says that there were dozens of
kids on the lots of his home town
who played better baseball than he
did in those early days of his career,
and among the star players in those
days was none other than Charles
Lincoln Herzog, who has been a fast
friend of Bakers for many years.
It was Herzog who finally induced
Baker to join the semi-professional
team at Ridgeley and at the time
Frank was still trying to become pro-
ficient in the art of fooling the batters.
After he had been with the Ridgeley
club for a short time. Herzog per-
suaded him that he wasn't cut out for
a pitcher, but because he could hit
the ball harder and farther than any
body else on the team he was en-
couraged to try for an infield or out
field position.
Finally, Baker showed a preference
for third base. because it afforded the
greatest opportunity for action, and
he has been a third basenlan ever
since.

fore Washburn has been handicapped

But this year the war has changed

KANSAS STILL SHORT
State Has Subscribed IS Millions War
Savings Stamps

Fifty-five of the counties in Kansas
reporting on the war savings stamps
su descriptions to P. w. GoebeI, state d.
rector. report that $1S,S54,000 of war
savings stamps have been subscribed.
On this basis Director Goebel estimates
that Kansas to date has pledged IS
to 80 per cent of her quota of s37,000,-
600 worth of w. S. stamps.
In some counties everyone was busy
with the harvest and could not give
the time to the work. but in each of
these the workers are confident that
the quotas will be subscribed as soon
as the wheat crop is saved for the al
lies. When these counties report Di-
rector Goebel is certain that the fig
ures will put Kansas over the top in
the w. S. S. campaign.
OF the counties so far reporting
eleven have oversubscribed their
quotas. They are Marshall, Pratt,
Brown. Lynn. Pottawatomie, Chero-
kee. Nemaha, Cloud, Jackson. Ander-
son and Cowley.
Cowley county was the first to go
over the top and oversubscribed her
quota three days before the drive on
June %.
Twelve counties have reported their
full quotas subscribed. They are De-
catur. Washington, Cheyenne, Nc
Pherson. Anderson. Chase, Waba I'M

regard to athletics in the absence of
Bears, and it is thought that by the
time Bearg gets back to Topeka that
Harno will have long list of stars to

So far the list of possible Washburn
players for the coming season num-
among these are the names of D.
