REMAIN ALWAYS THE SAME
Overwhelming Proof That Finger
Prints Undergo No Change Dur
ing Lifetime of Individual.

The finger print is scientific method
of identification. A movement is afoot
in Michigan for a statewide registra-
ton system under which every one
would be finger-pfinted. It is also
planned by the government to establish
a central bureau Of Identification with
a national registration. 1t is deduced
that prints are more permanent than
the body itself, as Psychologists tell us
that the tissues of the entire body
change once in-about seven years, but
whorls, curves and lines of the
papilla always are renewed in con-
formity with the lines of childhood.
After an attack Of scarlet fever the
cuticle peeled off of child's fingers
AS an experiment prints were made.
They were found to be just the same
as those made before the sickness. A
man CHANGED to burn his fingers. They
were badly blistered. After the blisters
broke and the outer layer of the skin
came off he made finger-prints each
day until the fingers were completely
healed. The ridges grew gradually
until they made the same sharp prints
that they had made before the acct
dent.

LlME-sULPHUR FOR SPRAYING
Comparatively Easy Matter to Make
SoIution--No Expensive Equip

prepared By the United States Department
of Agricultural
The making of lime-sulphur solution
for spraying fruit trees is comparative
" simple, and any fruit grower who is
equipped with the proper apparatus
can readily prepare lime-sulphur con-
centrate for his own use. No elaborate
or expensive equipment is necessary.
A first-class concentrate can be pro-
duced in an ordinary iron. kettle sus-
pended over a wood fire. Anew Farm

ter part suggestions are given on the
building of several types of cookers of
different sizes, ranging from very
simple 25-gallon kettle to steam plants
in which 800 gallons of the concentrate
can be prepared in one cooking.
Lime-sulphur solution is probably
used more extensively than any other
compound, since it is both an insecti-
eide and fungicide. 1t is used during
both the dormant and the growing sea-
sons. Lime-sulphur is comparatively
cheap, and can be combined with many
other compounds, such as arsenate of
lead and nicotine for the simultaneous
control of chewing and sucking insects
and certain fungus diseases. Its chief
disadvantage is that it is disagreeable
to use, owing to its causticity. The
lime-sulphur described in. this bulletin
should not be confused with the So
called self+boiled lime-sulphur, which
is a mechanical mixture of lime and
sulphur, whereas lime-sulphur concen-
trate is a chemical combination

TERM FOR POLITICAL CUNNING
Italian Genius Gave Name to What
Might Be Called Inscriptions
Craftsmanship.

"Machiavellian" is a term for po-
litical cunning, duplicity or bad faith,
because Niccolo Machiavelli, an Ital-
ian statesman and historian, held as
one of his principles that any means,
however lawless or INSCRIPTIONS,
might be justifiably employed by a
ruler in order to maintain a strong
central government. He produced
among other works treatise on gov
eminent called 'The Prince" the prin-
cipIes Of which have gained for him a
notoriety as wide as the civilized
world.
Briefly. Machiavelli's political doc
trines maintained justification of the
means by the end. The ruler or prince
was TO retain and augment his power
and IT, do so he might be an adept at
misleading his opponents and getting
rid of them. The interests of the state,
represented by the ruler, were held to
be above all laws or virtues, and, the
despOtism of the prince was to be
maintained by cunning and unre-
strained by morality.

CONTROL CHERRY LEAF SPOT
Disease Lives Over Winter in Dead
Leaves on Ground-Turn Un-
der All Possible.

Clean cultivation is valuable fac
tor in controlling cherry leaf spot.
Since the disease lives over winter in
the old dead leaves on the ground.
methods that tend to destroy these
leaves before the winter spores" are
discharged are to be recommended.
Studies have shown that the first dis
charge of spores takes place about the
time that the blossom buds begin to
break. While it is not practical to
practice sanitation with such thorough
ness as to make spraying unnecessary,
it is possible greatly to strengthen the
spray schedule by turning under as
many of these old dead leaves as is
feasible, prior>to the first discharge Of
spores.

PLAN TO PRUNE FRUIT TREES
Severe Cutting May Delay Fruitins,
Says ithaca Expert-Let Young
Trees Atone.

In discussing the pruning of fruit
trees, DR.. w. H. Chandler, of Ithaca.
said that severe pruning may dwarf
the tree and delay fruiting. His ex.
perience indicated that much pruning
should be delayed until the tree is
large enough to bear crop. In tests
the young unpruned trees, especially
peaches. gave much larger yields than
pruned trees. He thought, there was
no, advantage in shaping young cherry
trees, and he would let Burbank plums
go without pruning until ten years old
He would never cut trees when young,
except for good reasons.
