BOY SCOUT REscUEs BABY

Boy scouts are more and more ac-
quiring the valuable habit of HAP
pening along" when there is worth
while work TO be done.
A negro woman carrying a large
basket of clothes and accompanied
by her two small children was recent
ly walking along in one of the outly-
ing districts of Savannah, Ga, when
she came upon a railroad trestle. 1t
was a dangerous place for children
to cross unasssted, for the tide
water beneath was ten feet deep. She
instructed the little tots to wait for
her at one end Of the trestle until she
crossed with the wash, and then re-
turned for them.
The woman soon gained the other
side. She had put down her basket,
and was turning for her children,
when she saw that they had not wait
ed for her and unescorted were max
ing the hazardous crossing. Sudden
" the small child, two years of age,
stumbled and slipped through the
space between the ties, into the water
below.
Scout William McDCnough of Troop
IA. Savannah, at that moment hap
pened to be out on a hike alone and
had also reached the trestle. The
boy was in uniform and equipped with
pack. Ratchet. utensils, etc, for
camping hike. He heard the woman
scream and saw her point to the sink
ing child. The scout FASTENED to the
side of the trestle, and despite the
encumbrance of his equipment plunged
into the water, clutched the little one
and soon dragged him to the shore.
Here McDonough applied first aid
and within few moments the child
revived
Through no report of the hero Of
this rescue did the facts become
known. Casual bits of information,
pieced together and verified. and also
the affidavit Of the negro woman made
before a scoutmaster, account for this
story Of splendid heroism.

INJURY BY SHOT HOLE BoREP
Pest Is Best Kept Down nv c,..,.
on Badly Infested Branches
and Burning Them.

Ihere are two species of shot hole
oorer working In the United states
one IN the East and the other on the
racine coast. They both. however
are very much alike. They make bolas
IN the branches Of trees and have
the appearance Of shot holes In
peaches and prunes they will often
cause cumming where these holes
are made. The holes are the entrances
10 burrows which the insect makes in
the branches of trees
Shot hole borers practically never
attack healthy trees. They attack q
tree which Is weak, devitalized or dis.
eased In some way and their presence
is always an indication that something
IS wrong with the general health of
the tree. Cutting off the branches
which are badly infested and burning
them Is one Of the ways to keep the
pest down. The cutting back of nu-
merous old branches will sometimes
bring on a new top which Is vigorous
and will not be subject to the attack
or the bOrer.
Wherever this type Of borer is
abundant the grower should study the
vitality Of his trees very carefully and
see If he cannot inject more vigor into
them. Better cultivation, better
drainage, more moisture and more fer
dlizer is the remedy to follow. On
the Pacific coast they sometimes paint
infested trees-those portions which
are infested with the borer-with the
following solution:
Water, three gallons; soft soap or
liquid fish oil soap, one gallon; crude
carbolic acid, one-half pint. Put this
only where the insects are working,
and rewash at intervals Of a week,
three times.

Feeding Fish Meal or

experiments that fish meal is as Yalu'

Purebred Ram Shown to
Be Best Mutton Producer

Breeding and feeding trials with two
lots of ewes at the Missouri expert
ment station have shown that lambs
from a purebred ram grow and fatten
much faster and sell at much higher
prices per pound than lambs from
scrub ram and exactly similar ewes.
The average total gain of the lambs
sired by the better ram was 2.04
pounds more at three months (93.6l
days) of age than the average total
gain of the lambs sired by the inferior
ram at four months (122.5 days. Of
age. The average daily gain of the
better lambs was 26.6 per cent greater
than that of the lot of lambs sired by
the inferior ram.
The feed eaten per 100 pounds gain
by the lot of lambs sired by the in
ferior ram was 50 per cent more than
that eaten by the lambs sired by the
superior ram. The grain eaten per
100 pounds gain was SS.7S pounds for
the former lot and only 52.S1 pounds
for the latter.
At three months of age the lambs
sired by the ram of mutton type were
9.39 pounds heavier and made a total
gain of S.43 pounds greater than the
lambs sired by the inferior ram. The
lambs from the scrub sire required y
Der cent more grain per 100 pounds
gain than did the other lot.
Lambs sired by the good ram sold
for S7.35 per 100 pounds, while those
sired by the inferior ram brought only
$3.50 per 100 pounds.
The lambs from the good sire were /
thicker fieshed, smoother, broader IN .
back and lighter in the pelts than those
from the scrub.

TREATMENT OF CALF SC0URS

To treat case of scours, cut the
bed TO half or even less than that until
be calf has become hungry. A dose
q one to three ounces Of castor oil or

SPRAYING TO CHECK APHlDS
When Buds Begin to Show Green at
Tips Insects Hatch and Feed on
Tender Tissues.

AS the days grow warmer ana the
buds begin to swell and show green
at the tips, the apple aphids begin TO
hatch out and cluster on the ouds'
where they begin feeding on the ten
der green tissues. AT this time the IN
sects are much more susceptible TO
spray applications than a little later
when the apple foliage has advanced
sufficiently TO afford the aphids some
protection, says the entomologist at
the New York agricultural experiment
station at Geneva. Three-fourths OF
pint of nicotine sulphate added to loo
gallons of spray mixture gives very
satisfactory control.

PLAN FOR BRIDGE GRATING
CIon Wood Should Be One Year Old,
Well Matured and Free From All
Winter Injury.

In bridge grating to save girdled
or damaged fruit trees as in all other
grating the cion wood should be one
year old, well matured, and free from
winter injury. There are various
methods of inserting the cions in max
ing the bridge. The essential point,
however, say Ohio experiment station
horticulturists, is that the cambium,
or growing layer, Of cion be in contact
with the cambium of the trees above
and below the girdle.
Grating is best done In the spring
when the bark begins to slip. A salts
factory method In bridge grating is
to remove q rectangle Of bark above
and below the girdle on the tree
down to the cambium and of the same
width as the cion. The ends of the
cion are cut so as to bring the cam
blum of scion and tree in contact,
when the ends are neatly fitted into
the incisions of the tree.
A small wire nail driven through
each end of the cion into the tree will
hold the cion in place.
All the wounds should be waxed
over thoroughly. After the bridging
is completed it is a good plan TO mold
the tree with dry soil above the girdle
to prevent drying and checking.
While bridge grating may save the
tree, it is always better to prevent in
iuries which make it necessary.

SHRINE To HAVE
AMUSEMENT
PARK
MARKHAM Estate" of Fifty
Acres to Be Transformed
in Time for Meet.

Visiting Shriners are to have an
amusement park within the District
of Columbia in which to frolic while
they are in Washington. It is to
be located at Twentieth street and
Bennings Road, is to comprise fifty
acres of land, and is to have an
ideal playground for the children
and camping site for such tourists
as come to the Capital by automo-
bile. This is promised by Arthur j.
Brosseau, president of the Hill Top
Amusement Company. Constructing
work on the park is to begin not
later than the first week in April,
according to Brosseau, and the park
will be ready for the hosts of
Shriners when they reach Washing
ton in June.
1.-THE proposed park is to be To-
Gated on what is known as the
Markham estate" said Brosseau. ''It
comprises about fifty acres of land,
with about 1900 feet frontage on
Bennings road, and is an ideal spot
for a park. It is easily accessible,
within one carfare Of all points in
the city. After improvement, Ben
nings road at this point will be 40
feet wide, and we intend to use
about ten acres of our ground for
an automobile parking place.
Zone of the features of the park
will be an up-to-date, fully equipped
playground for children. The park
will be exclusively for white peo-
ple. We will have a fully equipped
camping ground for tourists who
come to Washington by automobile,
and everything will be free.
Every officer and director of the
company is professional or business
man of Washington. The park will
be controlled by local people"
