POLITICS is EXPENSIVE.

New York, May SENATOR Hiram
Johnson won his petition for a re-
count in the New Jersey preferential
primary election. but doubt existed
at his Eastern headquarters tonight
whether the senator cared to pay the
price of victory.
Chief Justice Gummere of the New
Jersey Supreme Court, sitting in
Newark, granted the Californian's
application for a recount, but he de-
creed also that Senator Johnson
must put up $4,000 within five days,
and then if the recount makes no
change in the returns, be prepared
to pay another additional $4,000 to-
ward expenses.-Banner.

Mr.. Small came to us about some
of his orchard problems last Satur-
day. One was the blight that is now
found in apples and pears. There is
no spray that will do any good. You
may be able to cut out and burn the
dead limbs. If this is dine, cut back
several inches behind the dead part.
Make a solution of bicloride of MUIR
curry and mop the wound well. The
latter is very poisonous and should
not be left where man or beast will
drink it. He also mentioned the bor-
ers in his peach trees as causing some
little trouble. They should be, remov-
ed in September. However it may be
done in few days in order to reduce
the infestation for the next season.
The borer will make a moth in few
weeks and it will lay eggs on the
trunks of the trees hatched to pro-
duce more borers. A paper may be

A. ]. Amis bought some new mod
ern bee hives this spring. Troy Max
well assisted in transferring some for
him last Tuesday. In order to save
some of the expense he planned to do
without the foundation for the brood
frames. When he saw that one of
the old hives that was being trans
ferred had about enough worker
comb for three good frames and
enough drone comb for one frame he
at once decided to buy worker foun-
dalton. Not only was this large
amount of drone comb found but it
was also seen that the largest amount
of work had been done in making new
drone comb and a large number of
drone brood was being Matched. The
worker foundation will also eliminate
the drones in a hive of bees. Produc-
ers are what we want. We can't af-
ford to keep bees b. the 'luck meth

fewer borers, healthier trees and few

trees and the cost of bringing them
into bearing should cause us to give
them more affection.

tivation of your crop? You may say
that is impossible. There are two
things that can be planned and car
ried out in any season. Cheap Guilt
walton by saving man and horse labor
is one; the other is the use Of labor
saving machines. If you have bought
your cultivator and as many section
harrows as you have power to pull,
you have done a good thing. Labor
is the most valuable thing that we
have. Saving it and using it to the
best advantage should be the first
object in all of our work.

Did you get to section harrow your
cotton? We heard some of the
farmers say that they had been do
ing this last Friday-that live around

this is the cheapest and most eff

whether it makes it possible.

One deep cultivation of corn and
cotton when it is very young is per-
haps, wise if it is not necessary. This
makes the land so that it will be pos
sible to use light shallow cultiva-

We have had our attention called to
feed dealers selling feeds that contain
tankage as being the same or just as
good as tankage. Now this is not
good policy. Regardless of the sup
ply of corn, we can afford to buy
tankage, therefore we should be
careful to buy and sell only the genu-
inc article. TANKAGE HAS AS
MUCH PROTEIN IN ONE POUND
AS SIX POUNDS OF CORN. Corn
fed alone, is not all utilized by the
hog. We can cut the cost of grain by
using some tankage and have bigger
