Use Soap and Water to
Clean Lacuuered Brass

Lacquered brass should never be
cleaned with metal polish or paste
Of any kind. Rub it up with leather,
or if the brass is much soiled wash it
with soap and warm water, dry with a
soft cloth, and polish with leather.
Never use soda in the water as it re-
moves the lacquer, but the brass may
be washed with sponge wrung out In
vinegar and water.
Should the lacquer wear off and
leave brown patches. the only thing to
do is to relacquer it. Should the article
be solid brass this Is an easy matter.
First boil the brass in hot soda water,
dry in sawdust, then polish with any
good metal polish.

Black Raspberry
Hurt by Disease
Growers in Many Sections
Suffer Heavy Losses
From New Ailment.

Prepared by the United States Department
Of Agricultural
Growers of black raspberries In va
rious parts of the United States, par
ticuIarly In Ohio and New York, have
been suffering discouraging losses In
many instances from mysterious
disease, which, for convenience Is
called eastern blue-stem. During the
last few years, the United States De-
partment of Agriculture has been
studying the disease in certain local.
titles and now sums up what Is known
about it In Department Circular 227,
Eastern Blue-Stem of the Black Rasp-
berry, by r. B. Wilcox.
Profits curtailed.
The disease, which Is marked by a
peculiar curling of the young leaves
and blue stripes on the canes. gradu-
ally reduces the productivity of the
plantations and kills the affected
plants in two or three years. In
solle sections where raspberries have
been grown extensively for years
profits are curtailed to such an ex-
tent that farmers are not encouraged
to stay in the business and the center
of production is gradually shifting as
disease follows the new paintings.
Where Investigations have been made
the infection of fields has ranged from
0 to IS per cent, and total loss In
the northeastern part of the country
is thought to be very large. Some
slightly infected patches have been
found in Michigan and Wisconsin.
The general effect of blue-stem Is a
gradual stunning Of the plant, with a
reduction Of the yield and dwarfing
of the berries. When affected tips
are planted they make little growth,
and the following spring they start
feebly or not at all. Often the grower
nay suspect that the trouble Is win
ter-kiIling. No recoyeries have ever
been noted. If the affected parts are
cut off the disease will soon show up
in another part. Plants started by
roofing the tips of diseased plants
will always have the disease. No
bacteria or fungi have yet been found
that might be said to be the cause.
but certain features of the malady,
such as the nothing and deformity
of the leaves and the stunning and
final death of the plants, indicate that
1t may be Of the mosaic type.
Diseased Tips Planted.
Blue-stem becomes established by
the planting Of diseased tips, but at
the time of digging it is impossible
to recognize those that carry the in
lection, and the symptoms do not APP
pear early enough in the spring SO
that the diseased tips can be found
before they have made growth Of
several inches. Thus far no very
resistant variety has been found. and
no spray is known to be effective.
The only practical method to get
ahead of blue-stem is to get stock
from a nursery known to be free of
1t and set as far as practicable from
diseased plantations. Young fields
must be carefully watched and plants
showing blue-stem symptoms removed
and replaced by healthy tips.
Growers interested in thorough
discussion Of the disease may get a
copy of the circular by writing the

Fireplace Fittings
Should Be Artistic

Long years ago the entire life of the
home was built about the fireplace. For
the humble it provided warmth and
was their only means of cooking; for
the jewellers in more palatiaI resi-
dences it was the center of both do
nestle and social life. So the fireplace
Of today has its significance in the
home, and should have fittings as ar
tistic as any other corner of the house.
There is wide choice in andirons,
screens, CRATES and fire irons, for they
may be had in varied finishes-plain
black. bright, rubbed or antique brass,
brass and black, antique gray or old
English finish, and this variety assures
the harmony of fireplace fittings with
the other furnishments of the room.

Thorough Study Must Be
Given Modern Beekeepine

The keeping Of bees Is an ancient
branch Of agriculture, yet modern bee
keeping is new thing. Many persons
still enormously think that bees work
for nothing and board themselves, and
that to keep bees he simply gets some
bees and allows them to roam where
they will. The present-day beekeep-
er controls the development Of the
colony population SO as to have full
force of gathering bees at the right
time, and then prevents division of
this force by swarming. By these and
other methods he greatly increases the
amount of honey gathered. The mod
ern skilled beekeeper finds bees far
more productive than did his predeces-
sors because Of his ability to change
conditions and adapt them to the nat
ural habits Of the bees.

Find Morgan Horse
Versatile on Farms
Records Furnish Evidence
of Its Usefulness.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture)
Some interesting information has
just been made public by the United
States Department of Agriculture re-
garding the registered Morgan horse
Gladstone that won second place in
the 1922 mounted service endurance
ride. Gladstone's record corrects the
impression that it takes years to de-
velop good saddle horse.
This horse was foaled April Is,
1913; sired by General Gates, a ia.
nous Morgan horse, and out of Min.
nehaha, mare purchased by the gov
eminent In the state Of Washington,
He was broken to single and double
harness when four years old and
shipped in 1917 to the government ex
pertinent farm at Beltsville, Nd.
where he was driven 20 to 80 miles
a day for several years with another
gelding. He was the first horse Sc
lected from the experiment farm to
go to the stables Of the secretary Of
agriculture in Washington, D. c., to
replace horses that had grown foot
sore from use on the city pavements
In June, 1922, Gladstone was re.
turned to the United States Morgan
Horse farm at Middleburg, VT, to be
prepared for the mounted service en-.
durance ride. Here he was used dur
ing haying, raking hay in the fields,
and at the close of the haying sea-
son was given his first continuous
training under the saddle. The ride
took place in October, and the little
horse carried his rider and equipment,
weighing 225 pounds, the 300 miles to
a highly creditable finish. In the
final rating Gladstone was but three
points behind the winning horse,
Twenty one horses started the race
and but nine finished. Gladstone
was second and finished In ex-
cellent condition.
Within week Gladstone was back
at work at the United States Morgan
Horse farm, where he is now being
used every day in double harness.
Gladstone is half-brother Of
Castor, the Morgan that made such
creditable showings In the endurance
contests of 1919, 1920 and 1921.
The records made by these horses
In harness and under saddle, on the
road and at farm work, and as sue
cessful contestants in one of the
hardest rides ever staged for saddle
horses, furnish additional evidence of
the versatility and all-round useful
ness Of the Morgan horse.

Many Use Gay Ribbon
to Remake Old Frocks

Ben Hur Is said to have been fond
of ribbons and to have appreciated
their beauty. He had them streaming
from his chariot; his white horses
wore them in their names and tails.
Male scoffers of today wear ribbon
watch fobs, ribbon edging on their eve
ming suits, ribbon hat bands and bows
and ribbon sautoirs for their glasses,
sometimes their pencils or fountain
pens. Not to mention the little bow of
ribbon inside every mans hat. And

And Mary was tired of that one good
dress. She had little money, an eye

she knew she couldn't have.
Every night when she had tucked
herself into bed she lay and wished for
a new dress and then, being sensible
Mary, she tried to decide how to make
the old one new. At last she was re-
warded for her efforts, for on her way
home from work she saw beautiful rib

windows. Ribbons tied into the most
bewitching bows! "Ill make it over

Sometimes Difficult to
Get Start of Alfalfa

On land which is very rich in humus
It is sometimes difficult to get alfalfa
started because Of the looseness of the
soil. On such soil the alfalfa seed
which is deep enough in the ground
to have moisture enough to grow, may
be so deep that it does not grow; and
If the seed is shallow enough to grow
1t may not be deep enough to have
moisture long enough. Hence on such
ground the seed should be covered
shallow and the surface soil be well
compacted by rolling after the seeding
Is done.

Control Melon Aphid
With Nicotine Sulphate

The melon aphid is also known as
cucumber aphid. 1t attacks the I'M
der side Of the leaves, causing curling.
Late melons, cantaloupes and cucum-
bers are especially liable to attack.
Nicotine sulphate at the rate of one
half pint to two and one-half pounds
of soap in 80 gallons Of water applied
when the aphids ave first seen Is the
remedy. Use spray nozzle with an
angle so the under side Of the leaves
may be sprayed.

Effective Background
for Use Of Gay Ribbon

Ribbons, being as symbolic Of spring
and summer as flowers and fruit, are
being combined gracefully on the
spring and summer hat. The ever
popular, wide-brimmed hats of lat
ticed straw are an effective back
ground for the use Of ribbons. Red
ribbon may be wound in and out of
the interstices, eliminating in bunch
