shot thru the heel and is still lit

Seven farm sheep demonstrations
were held last year in Missouri-fock
owners cooperating with sheep spe-
eialists Of the United States department
of agriculture and the state agricul-
tural college-the results of which.
among other things, showed that 1t
pays well to give sheep proper care.
In two of the demonstrations, where
grade animals were kept, one flock
produced 10S per cent of lambs, which
means that some of the ewes had twin
lambs, while the other flock produced
only SO per cent of lambs, which means
that a large number of the ewes did
not produce any or that the lambs
were too weak at birth to be saved
The wool from the first flock was sold
at 66 cents a pound, while the wool
from the second flock brought GA cents
q pound. The cost of feed of the first
flock amounted to sos for each ami
NAL, while the sheep of the second
flock were fed at cost of S1.34 each.
The total cost, in the first flock
amounted to $3.50 an animal, as COM
pared to $2.57 for the second flock
| But the net profit head-the point
| which is most important to all sheep
| raisers-was $5.74 in the first flock as
| compared to $500 In the second flock.
and the net return on the investment

flock as compared to 1928 per cent in

which would have been impossible If
left to the interested parties to work
out. In other words, the government
men have acted as umpires, and, as
always happens, the game has been
played more fairly and with less fric-
ton.
One of the most important benefits
from the supervision service, accord
ing to officials of the bureau of mar
kets. is the Misunderstanding for
many years-that has been estab-
lished in The minds of producers and
shippers of live stock. They say there
is no question that the tendency
among farmers and stockmen to In
crease their stock growing and feed
ing operations is due in large part to
the knowledge that Uncle Sam Is SUI

fruit and foliage of orchard trees, cur
rant, gooseberry and grape. As the
aphids do not eat the plant tissues,
but drain the sap from them, the va
rous kinds of sprays containing stom-
ach poisons, such as paris green, ar
senate of lead. etc. are ineffective.
To do any good the sprays must come
in contact with the bodies of the in
seets and great thoroughness in spray
ing is therefore necessary.
Nicotine has been found to be one
of the most effective substances for
killing aphids and as It may be APP
piled with entire safety to plants it
is possibly the best suited of all the
substances used in the control of these
insects. The cost of the concentrate
ed article is high. but as 1T may be
greatly diluted, the actual cost of
supplying the spray compares favor
ably with that of other contact sprays.
Washes made of fish oil or laundry
soap are also effective against aphids,
and are especially suitable for use on
a small scale. The fish oil soap of
different brands on the market varies
greatly in water content, so that the
precise quantity of soap to be used
with a given amount of water will
vary also. Manufacturers. however.
are required by the Federal Insecti-
eide Act of 1910 10 state on the label
the amount of active ingredients, in
this case soap, and of inert ingre-
dients. This will enable purchasers to
make up solution which should range
from one pound of soap for five gal
Ions of water to one pound for seven
gallons, depending upon the amount Of
water present in the soap.

The latest arrivals in blouses are not
different from those that came early
in the season, except in inconspicuous
details of making or trimming. There
is no good reason why designers
should run after strange gods as
long as there is an inslstent de-
mand for the styles now in vogue or
until some change in skirts opens the
way for a change in blouses. What
women are most concerned in is
knowledge of the merits of materials
used in blouses and of the most prac-
teal and becoming styles for various
uses.
The most durable and at the same
time dainty blouses for daily wear are
made of fine cotton wolfe. 1t does not
seem possible that so sheer and fine a
fabric could have such powers of re-
sistance to wear and tubing, but the
fact remains that it will outlast any
other. When made up with strong
cluny or fillet, or handkerchief laces.
one may depend upon wolfe blouse
for two years wear, some times more.
Tatting makes as fine a finish as the
most fastidlous taste can ask for
blouses made of wolfe or other cottons.
Batiste Is softer material than
wolfe and gives good service. 1t Is not
expected to last as long, and the
finer lingerie laces, val, cluny and fillet
are used with 1t. 1t is a beautiful
background for hand embroidery 30

preparation of the soil.
A high pressure and thorough work
are essential for success in spraying.
You cannot raise good apples and
plums without pruning and spraying
at the right time.
Strawberry plants produce the heav-
lest Mt the first seasons fruiting and
decline very rapidly after that time.
The branches of the tree should be
thinned, removing the weaker ones,
which will stimulate the growth of the
remaining limbs.
Grapes will grow in any kind OF
soil that Is we'll drained. Sandy soil
is best for the Scuppernong and
grapes OF that class.

ing. All the work done In the orchard
is practically total loss II the trees

Good cultural methods and correct
soil management will do more than
anything else to prevent many OF the
diseases of fruit trees. such as curly
