tries Of Europe, particularly in Great
Britain, France, and Switzerland. This
Is the Isle of Wight disease. as it Is
commonly called. which Is caused by
parasitic mites which invade the
thOraXes Of bees and feed on their
hosts. This results in interference
with the fight muscles Of the bee,
ultimately causing death. The most
common symptom OF a severe attack
Of Isle Of Wight disease in a bee
colony is the fact that many of the
bees are crawling about on the ground

Late Pruning of Grapes

but 1t will not hurt them. The effect
of late pruning Is to delay the fruit
ing shoots of the coming season a
week or ten days and thus make them
safer from injury by frost.
"Sinee the fruit clusters Of grapes
are borne on the new growth of the
current season rather than on the old
wood, the grape ought to be so pruned
that just enough new shoots will grow
out to provide a reasonable sized crop.
eff o many buds are left there

Mr.. Gardner says. THE vines will be
weakened and the fruit crop will be
Inferior. II the vine Is pruned too
severely, the new growth is mainly

clusters.

Good Farming Helps in
Eradicating Manv Pests

That good farming helps greatly In
fighting insects and diseases is
shown by a comparison Of farms
where the best methods are used and
those where they are not, says the
New York state college Of agriculture
at Ithaca.
Some of the things that are a part
OF good farming the college lists as
rotation of crops. fall blowing, clean
ing up trash on fields and destroy.
ing remnants of crops, grubbing out
.hedgerows, using good seed in we'll
prepared soils, and intelligent use of
proper fertilizers. Good farmers find
that land. as well as persons. kept

Fargo, N. D., Sept. 25.-Scrim-
images were not on the regular bill
last week at Dakotah field, stamping
ground of the Bison's of North Da-

squad that has been working at sig

fundamentals of the game.

The coach has not picked his first
string men as yet but has given
everv player chance to show what
he had in football ability and in
fighting spirit. BY the middle of this
week the squad will be shaping UP
into second apd first teams and the

Commissioner Thompson raised the

advocated both for economy in
lighting, although generally only the
top lights are lighted, and to prevent
the heavy cost of requirements of
side lamps because of breakage.
Many cities, it was said, are adopting
the single globe light as a better
