Mohammedans at Prayer.

What is probably the strangest
prayer meeting in the world is that
held twice a year on the plain outside
the city of Biskra, in Algeria. 1t is
attended by hundreds of devout Mo
hammedans, and it is wonderful
sight to see these white-robed figures
bowling and chanting in unison and
occasionally prostrating themselves on
the ground. Before the prostration
they remove their shoes and touch the
ground with their foreheads, bowling
in the direction Of Mecca, their holy
city.
After the set liturgical prayers have
been finished, the worshipers gather in
circle round an old Imam Cor lead
err, who breaches to them. The SER
mon is not long, in Difference to one
of the Prophets pithiest sayings: 1.-THE
length of a mans prayers and the
shortness of his sermons are signs OF
his common sense"

BUSTING IS MOST EFFECTIVE
Saves Much Time and Permits Much
Greater Rapidly of Operation
Also Is Cheaper.

Is busting more effective than
spraying in controlling fruit diseases
and pests? This is a much mooted
point among orchardists everywhere.
but, according to figures presented by
II. II. Whetzel Of Cornell university.
busting appears to have slight edge
over the liquid method.
Not only is busting a little cheaper
but it also saves much time and per-
mits much greater rapidity Of ofera-
ton. The results obtained from the
use of dust appear to at least equal
those following the use of spray, and
IN many cases to excel them.
One of the most promising busting
mixtures was finely ground dehydrated
copper-sulphate mixed with hydrated
lime. Another successful mixture was
eight pounds dehydrated copper sui
phate. four pounds arsenare of lime
and IS pounds hydrated lime.
In figuring cost of materials. there
is very little difference between dust
ing and spraying, but when the time
saved in busting is figured, the latter
method muss no counted as much
cheaper.

ALL FRUIT GROWERS FRIENDS
Birds That Should Be Protected Are
Listed by the American For
estry Association.

The American Forestry association
has published the fact that a cliff
swallow will eat 1000 flies, mosqul-
toes, wheat midgets, or beetles In a
day. The crops of four chicka lees
showed 1,02S eggs of the cankerworm.
Take notice, Mr.. Fruit Grower. A
quail killed in Texas cotton field
had eaten 127 boil weevils, and prai-
rie chicken had over 800 of them in
It's crop. The bob white has been
known to eat 1876 different kinds of
insects. II has been estimated that
this bird will consume an average of
10000 Insects and 6,OO0,O0c weed seeds
In year. House martins, swallows
and swlfts eat rose beetles, may bee
ties. cucumber beetles and house dies.
The quail eats Texas fever-carrying
ticks; the killdeer and ether shore
birds feed ON the larvae Of disease
carrying mosquitoes; a night-hnwk's
evening meal consists of 500 adult
mosquitoes.
