QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
Gold In Nature.

Ques. what appearance has gold
when first found in the earth?-Ans.
Nuggets have the characteristic yell
low color of refined gold Yellowish
metallic flakes or grains are readily
detected in some gold-bearing ores
but in many cases only an experience
ed assayer or miner would be able
to recognize such ore. Gold found
in nature is never pure but is mixed
with silver and in some localities with
iron, copper and other metals as well.
Sometimes 1t occurs in combination
with the element tellurium. Native
gold is often found inclosed in quartz
or quartz sand.

What Community breeding Is.

Community breeding simply mears
that the farmers in certain COM
munity agree to do two things;
First, to breed but one breed OF
cattle, sheep or hogs.
Seconu, they agree to use none but
pure-bred sires, these sires being
owned either individually or col
,ectively.
Everyone is absolutely free TO do as
he pleases just so long as he sticks
to one class of stock and uses pure
bred sire. These ideas can best be
carried out If the farmers are organ
ized in a body and get together at
stated periods.

CnttinC Toll of Smuts.

The estimated national loss due 20
wheat shuts in 19aS crop is 25,500,-
600 bushels.
The estimated national loss due to
oat smuts in the same crop is no.
100000 bushels, and to barley smuts
100000 bushels-a total loss of
141, 500, 900 bushels of grain.
In September 1917, the United
States Department of Agriculture be-
gan a campaign for the prevention
of cereal smuts.
Methods of seed treatment to pre-
vent smut were demonstrated to 49,
090 farmers in AS states, and 21,50O
farmers were personally advised on
their farms regarding smut and smut
prevention.
Twenty-Five per cent more farmers
treated the seed than formerly.
And the campaign has just fairly

The sacking OF The Orchards.

The sacking of the orchards will
begin in many sections of the United
States about the third week in May
not as the Huns did it in the fruit
lands of France, but a protective
sacking. literally, with cheesecloth,
against another ruthless horde, to
wit, the "17-year locust" This pest
will occur OVER 81 States, coming out
perhaps the last week in May. The
injury inflicted by it consists in
splitting the tender branches of trees
for depositing eggs. The greatest
damage is to very young trees. Ex-
pert advice has usually been to de-
fer the planting of young fruit trees
until another season; but the United
States Department of Agriculture, re-
allies that TO defer planting, particu-
uarly where trees have been bought
and the ground prepared, would en-
tail a considerable loss. Therefore
the advice offered is. defer planting
until 1920 ii feasible. Otherwise put
out the trees and protect them with
cheesecloth coverings. Such protec-
tion can be made practically abso-
lutte. The coverings need not be put
ON until the insects have emerged
from the ground, when it can be de-
termined whether or not they are suf
ficiently numerous TO make covering
of the trees necessary. Once put on,
the coverings should be allowed to
remain until the insects are gone.
The protection can be made practic-
ally absolute. The cheese cloth
should be gathered and tied in below
the branches and extend upward to
cover practically all the foliage, be-
ing gathered in and tied at the top in
such manner as to leave small
cluster of leaves free. This method
can be applied, ii necessary, to trees

The first step necessary to destroy
the mites is to get rid OF the hiding
Places so iai as possible. The roosts
should be taken down and all un-
necessary boards and boxes removed.
IN heavily infested houses the mites
are to be found in all parts of the
building. including the roof. Where
they are less numerous the infesta-
tiOns usually are confined to the
roosts and nests and the walls i'm
mediately adjacent. For small coops
hand atomizer will suffice for ap-
plying insecticides as sprays, but for
larger houses a bucket pump, KNAPP
sack sprayer, or barrel pump is desir-
able. A rather coarse spray should
be applied from all angles and thor
oughly driven into the cracks. The
floor also should be treated, as many
mites fall to the floor when the roosts
are being removed.

Origin of Corsets.

CUES. Please tell us something or
the origin of corsets.-Ans. From
Homer's mention of the girdle or ees-
tus worn by Venus ii appears that
corsets we're known TO ancient
Greeks. Bandages similar to eorsets
were worn in Rome in the early ages
Romans used them only for the pur-
nose of support, however, until
slender waists came to be considered
essential to a bautiful figure when
corsets were designed to be used TO
COMPRESS the form. Germans used
corsets in Middle Ages. They were
introduced there within short time
they were introduced in other coun-
tries where they had previously been
unknown.

COUNCIL FACES
BOARD SQUABBLE

In some form or other, the city adj
ministration Squabble, started by the
action of several councilmen who want
the present board of works beheaded
and another substituted, will come up
in council April 7, say representatives
of both sides.
Provided the eight councilmen who
at a secret meeting two weeks ago,
pledged themselves to the carrying our
of the plan as a move to save money
to the city, remain true to their
pledges, the move will go over said
Councilman A. J. Ford, leader of the
insurgents, Wednesday morning.
But there is possibility that the
eight will waver, and in that case,
of course we will be defeated" said
Ford. I'VE have been sounding pub
JIG sentiment, however, and are sure
that 9S per cent of the people want
the move made.
THE present city administration has
spent as much money as the last one,
but the last administration showed re-
suits, and this one shows compare
lively nothing. No business man
would think of paying three men 500
month when they had other jobs
which occupy almost their full time;
yet the city does it,"
Councilman Joseph Waterman, an
other insurgent, expects a hot council
meeting. Hints of a general attack
on the administration, which may de-
velop out of the present situation,
were heard from both men. THE
Zimmerman administration has been
a failure" said Waterman.
AS for Mayor Zimmerman, he says
that of course he does not know what
council will do, but he wants the prop
osition settled one way or the other,
soon. He expects the Monday evening
meeting to go far towards ending the
suuabble

(By Associated Pressy

| WASHINGTON, April 3.-Applica-
ton for a respite preliminary to a
| petition for pardon of Eugene V. Debs
the socialist leader sentenced to ten
years Imprisonment for violation of
the espionage act, has been received
at the white house and will be referred
to Attorney General Palmer. The re-
quest is signed by Frank P. Walsh,
Charles Edward Russell and Alan Ben
son. 1t has not been brought to the
attention of President Wilson, it was
learned today, but the attorney gener-
al has been advised of its receipt.
Should a respite be granted, it would
stay the execution of Debs' ten-year
prison sentence until the expiration
of stipulated time during which con-
sideration would be given to pardon.
If it were not granted Debs would be
remanded to prison Immediately upon
certification by the supreme court of
its findings upholding his conviction,
which probably would be about May /
The court, after upholding the con-
viction of Debs refused an application
for re-hearing. During the pend
ency Of the case before the higher
court, Debs has been at liberty under
bond.
