MILK IN WINTER.

Why do your cows give less milk in
winter than they do in summer? Just
because nature does not supply them
with grasses and green food. But we
have come to the assistance of Dame
Nature with B. A. Thomas Stock Rem
edy which contains the very ingre-
dents that the green feed supplies in
season, only, of course, in q more
highly concentrated form. We guar
antee that this remedy will make your
cows give more milk, and better milk
with the same feed.-W. r. Baker &
Son.

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 a trap to catch the
codling moth. Most Of the cooling
larvae after leaving the apples spin
q silken case or web under the rough
bark on the trunk and there change
to the moth stage. The old practice
Of placing a burlap band around the
trunk to entice the worms has been
effective in reducing their number, but
II rarely used as it requires a great
deal Of attention. The new trap con-
sists Of strip Of burlap wound around
the trunk in the usual way, but over
this u 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.

CULTIVATION OF AN ORCHARD
Summer Work Is Necessary II Profit
10 to Be Made-Three Methods
Given by Expert.

Summer cultivation Of the orchard
is necessary If a profit is TO be made,
In the opinion of F. s. 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 a heavy growth Of
wood, which prevents the formation Of
fruit buds. In order to overcome this
a 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 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 1t
removes their food supply"

Beautiful Patriotism.

Mr.. Henri Balu, the Actuary for
the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety for Europe, and who resides
in Paris, has written his friend, Mr..
Rosenfeld, of New York, the fol-
lowing beautiful and patriotic let
ter, acquainting him with the death
of his second son who fell i'm action
while defending his country. The
sentiment expressed shows the
comfort afforded in the loss of our
loved ones who give their lives i'm
the noble cause. Following is the
letter:
PARIS, oath May, 1917
Dear Mr.. Rosenfeld:
Barely few months have elapsed
since you had the kindness to ex-
press to me the warm expression
of your personal sympathy on the
occasion of the death of my eldest
son who fell at Verdun on the 9th
of April, 1916.
1t is a second death, equally glo-
rious, which | now have to an
nounce to you, which has deprived
me of my younger son who was
killed near Rheims on the 26th
April last at the same age of 20
years.
In the month of January when l
spoke with you about him he was
then still in the rear of the fighting
line, hut we felt that the hour Of
danger was near. 1t came to him
at the time of the great attack Of
the 18th April, and on the same
day, at 6 o'clock in the morning,
he met his death by the sudden fire
of machine guns.
My son was happy in his pstri-
otto faith to participate in the great
battle but, like his brother, he fell
after only few hours fighting. He
nevertheless had the happiness be-
fore dying to pass over the German
position which his regiment had
taken, and now he lies in his last
sleep on the reconquered ground.
May the loss of my two sons,
yourg and devoted victims of the
war, with the merits and heroism
of many of their comrades similar
ly fallen, advance the hour of
glorious and durable peace which
will terminate such sacrifices and
prevent the mourning of other
families.

In the raid carried out by the Ger

Americans northwest of TOul the
enemy intended to penetrate to the

formation obtained from a prisoner.
This is corroborated by material
found on dead Germans. The enemy

Washington, April 13.-America's
reply to the recent statement of the

Pointing out that the Netherlands
government itself does not question
the legality of the act, Mr.. Lansing
devotes himself to a demonstration
that 1t was an act of necessity re-
sulting from Germany's menacing at
titude which prevented Holland from
fulfilling her engagements, and that
instead of an injustice the step results
in real benefit to the Dutch ship own
ers and people.

Guns Let Go at Close
Range.

London, April 13-"You could have
shot them down with your eyes shut"
said wounded machine gunner in de-
scribing how the Germans attacked on
the western front, according to the
correspondent there of the Daily Mail.
"We fired straight into them, and they
went down in heaps. yet we could not
stop them. 1t was one down and an
other come on"
The correspondent quotes other re-
marks from wounded soldiers, which
are indicative of the uncOnquerable
spirit of the British defenders and
which bear further testimony to the
terrible toll the Germans are paying
for every foot they advance. The cor
respondent says wounded soldiers
agreed that the Germans outnumbered
the defenders at least two to one.
AYE, we're never far away" a
wounded Highlander replied to the re-
mark of the correspondent that the
Highlanders seemed to get into all the
battles.
Foes Are Slaughtered.
He proceeded to tell how his regi-
ment was ON a canal bank when the
Germans tried to cross:
''They advanced on both TANKS, COM
ing up on either side in the attempt to
get across. We were told to hold our
fire, and waited until they were we'll in
view. Then, when there were hundreds
before us, we let fly. Man, it was
murderous"
A Yorkshire man, who was standing
near by, broke in:
'That may be, but that was no bet
ter than when we saw them along the
side of a hedge. They didn't expect us
to be so near. We pumped bullets into
them with Lewis guns until our bodies
ached"
