Big Importance
Of White Pines
Blister Rust Threatens to
Destroy Much Valuable
Timber.

(Prepared BY the United States Department
Bs Es OF Agriculture.)
There are four factors which limit
the growing currants and gooseberries
In the United States. The heat of sum
mer, the lack of moisture, the white
pine blister rust, and the currant mag
got. Currants and gooseberries. both
wild and cultivated, are responsible
for the spread Of white-pine blister
rust, the disease which threatens to
destroy much Of the valuable white
pine timber in the United States. For
this reason the currant and gooseberry
industry must be considered in con-
nection with the preservation Of the
white-pine. timber supply.
New Bulletin on Culture.
In this connection new bulletin
treating on the culture Of currants and
gooseberries and their relation to
white-pine blister rust has been issued
by the United States Department of
Agriculture, as Farmers Bulletin
1893. The regions naturally adapted
to their culture are stipulated and the
regions In which they are prohibited
by law are also named, together with
the best methods to adopt in growing
these fruits wherever possible.
White-pine blister rust on the white
pines of our forests is caused by a
destructive fungus of foreign origin.
1t must first grow. on the leaves Of
currants and gooseberry bushes be-
fore 1t can attack and kill the pines.
The pines In an infected area can be
protected from further damage from
the rust only BY removing all currant
and gooseberry bushes from the area.
Because of the blister rust, the icul-
ture Of currants and gooseberries is
restricted or prohibited in regions
where the eastern and western white
pines, sugar pines, and other i've
needle twhite) pines are important.
Black currants Susceptible.
Cultivated black currants, some
times called the European or English
black curlant, are more susceptible to
white pine lblister rust than any other
type of cuFrant or gooseberry. This
species Is The most active agent con-
cerned in the long-distance spread and
establishment of the disease. The
growing II black currants, in home gar
dens as yell as in nurseries and com
mercial paintings, should be entirely
abandoned throughout the United
States because Of the Importance Of
white pine and the relative small ini.,
portance Of black currants.s
Gardeners and others so situated that
they can grow currants and gooseber-
ries will find Farmers Bulletin 1898
interesting and valuable help in estab-
fishing these fruits in the home gar
den. A copy may be secured, as long
as the supply lasts, from the United

Hens Need Comfortable

Dewberry Crop Can

Any fertile soil with good drainage

the United States Department OF Agri-
culture Although suited to many types
Of soils, it is grown most extensively
on coarse, sandy loans. Its deep
roofing system enables it to obtain
moisture from such soils better than
many other crops.
At present the dewberry is grown
more widely In North Carolina and
New Jersey than in any other states.
but It is adapted to nearly all parts of
the country. 1t is grown commercially
also in Michigan and New York. In
these four states the skill Of the grow
ers in using special methods of train
ing and culture make the crop very
profitable. In North Carolina and
New Jersey special methods involve
training to stakes, in New York and
Michigan to wire trellises
Dewberry plants are usually set dur
ing the winter and early spring in the
South and in early spring in the North.
As the tips Of the canes that root in
the fall continue to develop until very
late more mature plants will be OBJ
tanned In the spring. For this reason
fall planting is not practiced.
The Lucretia is the leading variety
except in the Gulf Coast states. Texas
prefers the Mayes and California raises
large quantities of Gardena. \

Absolutely Essential to
Have Clean Cow Stables

The problem of producing clean milk
in winter is somewhat simplified by
giving the COW stables good coat of
whitewash.
The following formula is recon-
mended by F. G. Button, assistant
dairy husbandman at the New Jersey
College Of Agriculture at New Bruins
wick:
Stake half bushel Of lime in boil
ing water, keeping 1t covered during
the process. Strain this, and add a
peck Of salt dissolved In warm water,
three pounds Of ground rice put In
boiling water and boiled to a thin
paste, one-half pound Of powdered
Spanish whiting and one pound of
clear glue dissolved in warm water,
Stir these well together, and let the
mixture stand for several days. The
wash can be kept In kettle or port
able heater. This mixture Is little
more expensive than the ordinary
whitewash, but 1t is much more du-
rable.
Another help in producing clean
milk is to provide clean straw for the
cows at frequent intervals. This is
absolutely essential for getting clean
milk when the cattle are standing in
the stable most of the time. n

TO CURE EAR INFECTION

TINE principal caHse Of deafness is
! infection of the middle ear. This
small space back of the ear drum Is
usually infected by germs passing up
the little tube from the back OF the
throat. This tiny passage. lied the
Eustachian tube, after Eustachius,
the old Italian anatomist who first
described it, allows the air to pass
from the throat up behind the ear
drum so as to equalize the air pres
sure on both sides of the drum. When
this tube is stopped up, the unequal
pressure makes the ear drum bulge,
and this prevents 1t from vibrating.N
That's why when we have a bad cold
our ears feel stopped rp." That's
also the reason why we blow our
nose or swallow when our ears feel
stopped up, because these acts force
the air up into the middle ear and so
relieve the pressure.
Unfortunately, when the air IS
forced up into the middle ear, mucps
from the throat goes with it, and If
there are any germs in the throat
they are also carried up into the little
cavity, where they grow, form pus,
and If not properly treated may cause
the ear drum to break by too strong
pressure from within. Breaking the
ear drum seriously affects hearing
and long-continued Infection of the
middle ear may entirely destroy 1t.
Infection of the middle ear seldom
occurs alone. 1t is generally one of
the results or complications Of some
other disease.
What are the diseases which are
most likely to cause middle-ear infec-
ton? DIR. David I. Smith of Balti-

infection. Race and sex had no reia-
ton to this disease. but it was twice
as frequent in the winter as in the
summer. 1t most frequently occurred
after pneumonia, dysentery, diphthe-
ria and whooping cough.
AS loss of hearing is serious ham
dicap both to the child's education
and to its future, children's ears
should be carefully watched. espe-
eially following any of the diseases
mentioned and any pain or discharge
from the ears should be given imme-
date attention.

FIGHTING DISEASE IN THE
DARK

EOOT-AND-MOUTH disease has APP
peared among the "Brahman" cattle
Of Texas. This is strange instance
of jumping out Of the frying pan into
the fire, as far as the Texas cattle
men are concerned.
Many years ago, when Texas stock
men were suffering great losses
through their cattle dying of Texas
fever. 1t was proposed to import from
India the zebu or bumped oxen Of
that country, which, for some reason,
are immune to the fever which pre-
vailed in Texas. Many Of these
strange cattle were brought In, and in
some ways the experiment has been
success. although newer and better
methods for the control of Texas fever
by destroying the tick which carries
1t have reduced the disease In domestic
cattle to comparatively small
problem.
But the Brahman cattle, while Ina
mnne to the tick fever, are apparently
very susceptible to a much more dam
gerous disease. the so-called foot-and-
mouth disease.
This disease, also called aphthous
fever or aphthous epizootic. most
commonly aff1icts COWS. but may att
tack horses, dogs, cats and fowls. I'm
fortunately, human beings are also
susceptible.
Numerous epidemics among cows
have occurred in this country since
1870, when 1t was first imported from
England. Handling diseased cows or
drinking milk from an infected COW
will cause the disease in man. On
the second day after the exposure
fever, headache and itching occur
Five days later blisters form on the
hands, the tongue, lips and cheeks.
These bIisters may later form ulcers.
AS rule the disease is mild one
In man, but in children, in severe or
neglected cases, the ulcers may be-
com large and painful Sores
While there is no question that this
disease is caused by some germ, the
exact cause is not known. Strange
to say, the United States Department
Of Agriculture will not even allow its
scientific men in the bureau of animal
industry to attempt to find the cause.
It seems that in Europe some expert
ments were made, with the result that
the infection in some way escaped
and. started new epidemic. Yet no
Intelligent steps can be taken to pre-
vent or cure this disease, either in
animals or men, until the exact cause
is known.
Surely there should be some spot in
this great country so remote that
studies could be safely carried on. and
the cause of this disease, dangerous
to both man and best, discovered and
Nmethod Of prevention devised.

DR.. Fletcher Sees Abuse
by Roadside, Markets

DR. S. w. Fletcher, head of the hor-
ticulture department of the Pennsyl-
vania state college. recently returned
from Atlantic City, N. j., where he adj
dressed the annual meeting of the
American Pathological society in the
national organization Of horticultural
interests and appealed for a reorgani
cation which would increase the effec-
tiveness of the national body. Doctor
Fletcher also read a paper on Penn
sylvania Experience in Local Market
ing Of Fruit" He quoted several ex-
amples of Keystone orclardists who
have been far more successful in mar
keting their product locally than by
methods previously used.
Roadside markets are increasing,
and are useful on main travelled high
why's, especially near large Cities said
Doctor Fletcher, ''but unless something
IFS done to prevent the abuses that are
now creeping in--such as the purchase
Of fruit in tHeN city Wholesale market
and selling 1t as home grown fruit at
the roadside marketN they are likely
to fall into disfavor."
Doctor Fletcher first attended an an.
nual meeting Of the American Pomo
logical society in 1897 at Columbus.
Ohio Since that time he has contins
ued to take an active interest in the
proceedings Of the fruit growers or
ganization.

DOCTORS FEES IN
 WASHINGTON SET
Range From S2 at Office to
 Large Sums

Washington, Oct, S1.--A scale of minimum end maximum fees for almost every i'll that a physician or surgeon is ever called upon to treat, has been fixed by the Medical so- ciety of the District of Columbia.
 Minimum fees range from s2 for minor office consultation or word of advice over the telephone, to $500 for certain major operations. Maxi mum fees for similar service range from $10 to s5,000.
 Charity work is permitted on the part of physicians and surgeons, but they will not otherwise deviatc from the scale, either in reducing the minimum or raising the maximum except for good cause. The im- portance of the case, and the re- sponsibility attached to it, weigh heavily in placing the maximum fees, and likewise. it was pointed out, the scale will allow persons of moderate means to obtain the best medical skill at cost within their reach.
 An example is the fee for d small pox vaccination, where a minimum of S2 is fixed. General visits range from s3 to $25, and the removal of an appendix may cost from S10O to sJ,000.

Peter olescavltch, arraigned before Judge William c. Hungorford In po- lice court this morning for violating his probation, had his probation re- voked and the court ordered sus- pended sentence of GO days imposed three months ago effective, at once. Olescavitch was represented by Judge William r. Mangan. who made a plea to the court for an ex- tension of the probation on which Olescayiteh was released, saying that the man had spent two days in a cell at the police station which was sufficient to bring him to his senses and realize that the court meant business. Judge Hungerford disre- garded the plea and said that he had no sympathy for men who do not observe the terms of their pro- bation.
 Walter Iyorson of Kelsey street, arrested last night on a charge of operating a motor vehicle without a license, pleaded guilty and was fined s25 and costs. Ivorson was arrested by Patrolman James Post. The de- fendant told the court that he was driving his machine, but that the
