That was beginning. Every few
months this was repeated. Much in

How did young Gilbert do It?
don't know. I've talked to him
many times, and talking Is the worst
thing he does. He answers questions
directly and decisivcly. II you ask
him n question OF six words. more
than likely you'll get an answer Of
six words, and six questions will
draw six answers. and nothing more
except timld smile and silence as
he directs his attention TO some paper

type of dairy COW.
Her grain ration during this test
consisted of bran, ground oats, dis
tilIers' grains, hominy, oil meal, GU
fen and cottonseed with salt and a
limited amount of mineral compounds
She also received liberal amounts OF
alfalfa hay and, during the latter part
of her test, corn ensilage and beets.
The uniformity Of May Walker Oh
lie Homestead's production during her
entire yearly test period is an out,
standing feature of her record. In no
one calendar month did she produce
less than 80 pounds of butter fat or
1000 pounds of milk, nor did she pro-
duce over 5000 pounds of milk in any
month. She carried calf almost six
months of her test period.
The Holstein.Friesian Association
of America recently authorized bud

With a production of 1883
pounds of butter fat during the past
year, May Walker Ollie Homestead
a Holstein, is Americas new cham
pion butter producing cow over all
breeds and ages. She is owned by the
Minnesota Holstein Company OF
Austin Minnesota.
During the year, the new champion

ing a butter fat test of 1856 pounds.
Stacked up on the consumers back
porch this record production would
mean 1923 pound packages of butter
or 1880 quart bottles of milk. The
average production of all dairy COWS
in the United States is 1000 pounds
of milk and 100 pounds of butter rat
according to the q. S. Department OF
Agriculture.
The new champion is a seven year

SCALE IS DEATH TO PEACHES
Under Favorable Conditions Pest viii
Kill All Trees in an Orchard IN
One Season.

One of the most serious enemies OF
the peach tree is the San Jose scale.
This insect and the root-knot organism
are Jointly responsible for the short
life of peach trees. The scale alone
will kill a tree in a short time. Under
favorable conditions the scale will XIII

season.
Trees badly infested with grayisn
scruffy bark. The active scales WIN
ter in the small black stage; that Is,
the covering over the scale is black.
These can be seen with the naked eye,
but the scales themselves are too small
TO be noticed without the aid of lens.
During summer the insect attacks the
twigs. fruits and branches. On tender
shoots it makes its presence known
by a reddening of the tissue. Th1s
must not be confused with natural
cOlors
According to Professor j. r. Wat
son. entomologist of the Florida ex-
periment station, the most efficient
method of fighting the pest is to spray

parts of water. Spray the trees
thoroughly with this. but only When
they are dormant leafless and not

to burn foliage. December is the best
month to do the spraying, but if the
trees have not started budding in Jan

The grower should prepare to spray
every year because enough scales to

which this strong spray can be applied
is short and the grower should not let
1t pass:
Some spraying can be done in the
summer but a much weaker solution
must be used. Mix the solution one

First Known Use of ink.

The bureau of standards says that
the earliest use of liquid which can be
described as ink is found in the rem
nants of ancient Egyptian civiliza-
lions, and the date was probably about
$500 B. C. Chinese or Indian ink Is
known to have been in existence about
this time. These inks were black and
their base was carbon Probably gum,
oil or varnish was mixed with it.

When rooms are cleaned tables are

suit is a loose leg. If YOU have table

is to tip the table up. note where the

RAISE MORE FRUIT AT HOME
Fall and Winter Is Good Time to Plan
an Orchard for Succession
of Crops.

Is your home orchard furnishing a
succession of fruit with a surplus for
canning? If not, plan now to estab-
lish during the fall and winter an or
chard of this kind. A home orchard
Of one acre of carefully selected fruit
and varieties is usually sufficient to
furnish a generous supply of fruit
throughout the season and canning
surplus for the winter.
BY planting in fall and winter, more
time is had for the thorough prepara-
ton of the soil, time is saved, the trees
will become well established before
the growing season, and the conserved
moisture will lessen the percentage of
dead trees, say the horticulturists.
Cheap trees usually prove to be very
dear; therefore, deal directly with
some reliable nursery rather than
through the tree agent, and insist on
having varieties for your section.

PROTECT YOUNG FRUIT TREES
Little Attention in Putting on Pre-
tectors in Autumn Keeps
Away Rodent Pests.

Young fruit trees are too valuable
to leave unprotected during the win
ter. A little thoughtful attention to
putting on tree protectors in the fall
is good Insurance against winter
losses from mice and rabbits. The
value of one good tree will more than
