Hail, Seniors at the threshold.
Commencement Days but two weeks
off now. High School is already prac-
tically closed for considerable num-
Der of young men and women. On the
evening of the goth you will close
your books, step to the front of the
stage and receive your letters of
credit.
Ii is well. You have worked hard
and long and faithfully. So have your
teachers and-so have your parents.
Don't forget your parents and the in
finite sacrifices they have made for
you. There has been effort and stug
gle and heartaches on their part of
which you know little.
You are going out into the world
now; maybe you will enter some bust
ness or maybe you are going to some
Institution of higher learning, but no
matter; remember that you will have
to make good Pretense and vanity
and the assumption of superiority
won't get you anywhere. Above all,
don't be a snob. You must be honest
and straightforward and on the square
| if you win. You simply cannot sue
coed any other way.
You have heard that old platitude
about life being short, haven't you?
Well, don't believe it for it isn't So.
Life is long journey as you will
find later and it isn't such vale of
tears or slough of dependency as you
may suppose. Then atoo, let me tell
you that you won't find the journey
so full of pitfalls and temptations as
you have been told. 1t isn't, and you
will be the author of most of the
troubles you will encounter along the
way. You will find the world we'll
supplied with good, highminded, we'll
wishing people. They will be glad to
help you if you will just give them
half chance. They want to see you
HAPPY and contented and successful
and worth while just as your parents
and your teachers and your neighbors
| do.
/ Of course, life seems pretty rosy to
you now. 1t should be but don't for
get that you are now on the threshold
of greater theatre than you have yet
known. You are in the wings, as it
were, waiting for your cue to step
out upon the stage of life and play
your part.
1t will be all right for your to sit
and look wise on Commencement night
, when able speakers with grand elo-
quent language tell you of destiny and
opportunity and bespeak the greatest
measures of success for you. That's
all right but don't, let it turn your
q head. AS you go home after the tu-
multi and the shouting dies just glance
! into the store windows and you will
see that eggs are still 48 cents pen
dozen.
So, don't be saddened by the thought
$ of what scanty remnant of knowl
. edge there is left for the little pitchers
. that are to come behind. Just keeI

MelOdrama Curse
Removed by mike

A picture that abounds with the
type of humor that amuses young and
old alike, is coming to the Iris Theatre
on Sunday as its next attraction. 1t is
Marshall Neilan's production Of his
own story, mike, and is a Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer picture. 1t is his
third original for the screen, the other
two being "Minnie" and "Dinty".
mike tells simple, rather melo-
dramatic story with all the curse of
the usual melodrama removed by the
sly wit, the subtle humor, and the hi
larious comedy. 1t is said to be Mar
shall Neilan's best picture.
Sally O'Neil, a new discovery" of
Neilan's, makes her first appearance
on the screen in the title role, and ac-
cording to advance reports is proving
a real find. She is typical American
girl of Irish ancestry. William Haines
the popular. young juvenile, plays OPP
posite Sally as Harlan.
Three comedians of long standing
play important roles in Mike.
Charlie Murray, Ford Sterling anG
Ned Sparks assist Neilan in putting
across" one of the most delightfully."-
funny and thrilling pictures of the
season.
Other members of the cast include
Sam De Grasse, Muriel Frances Dan
ma, frankie Darro and Junior Cogh-
Ian.

Not Advisable to Spray
Trees in Full Bloom

1t is never advisable to spray apple
trees when they are in full bloom, on
account of the danger of poisoning the
honey bees. 1t is now well-known
fact that the honey-bee is one of the
best friends the apple grower has
Practically the entire work Of cross
pollination is accomplished by this in
sect, thus enabling the farmer to OBJ
tain a set of fruit. If this spray is
made when the trees are in full bloom
it is also likely to prevent a satisfac-
tory set Of fruit, as 1t may be strong
enough to burn and destroy the sta
mems and pistils (the reproductive or
gans of the f1owers). The force of the
spray may also actually injure these
essential parts of the flowers.
The chief object of this spray Is to
place a small quantity of poison In
each tiny calyx cup for the apple
worm, which generally takes it's first
meal here two or three weeks later
If the fruit grower does good work
this should be accomplished, and the
first meal that the little worm takes
will be it's last one.

Age to Breed Heifer Is
Important to Dairvman

The age to breed the dairy heifer
will depend somewhat upon the de-
velopment Of the particular animal in
question. If the individual is well
grown and has a tendency to lay on
fat, she should be bred at an earlier
age than one not so well grown and
showing less tendency to condition
readily. The well-developed Jersey
should be bred to drop her first calf
when not more than 26 months of
age, better yet "a months If possible.
The heifer of slower growth and less
vigor should be allowed about 4
months longer.
The aim among dairymen is to put
the young heifer on the paying list
early in life without permanently
injuring the individual. If bred too
young the energies Of the heifer are
devoted to the foetus, later milk yield
ing, with the result that the growth
is greatly hindered and often stunted.
The breeding time for young heifers
Is very important and should be con-
sidered if you expect the animal to
DO her best.

NEGLECTED GRAPES
WILL NOT PRODUCE

Annual pruning Of grape vines is es-
sential If profitable crops are to be
produced, says J. H. Clark Of the New
Jersey agricultural experiment sta
ton. Even one year of neglect will
cause the clusters to be small and ir-
regular, while the canes will be weak
and unable to produce a satisfactory
crop the next year. It is advisable to
prune before growth starts.
The single-stem four-arm Kniffen
type of vine has proved to be more
productive and easier to handle than
others, such as the fan and spur re-
newal types. The Kniffen trellis con-
sists Of two wires, one 51a to 6 feet
from the ground, the other 80 inches
below it, supported by posts set Is to
20 feet apart.
The trunk, extending from the
ground to the top wire, is retained as
long rs it is healthy and vigorous.
Four healthy, vigorous canes, prefer
ably from 6 to 9 feet in length should
be selected as near to the trunk as
possible and located so that one may
be trained in each direction on each
wire. These canes should be pruned
so that each will carry from 6 to II
buds, depending on the vigor of the
vine. Vigorous vines may be pruned
to as many as so buds, but weaker
vines should carry less.
A two-bud spar (that is, cane cut
off just beyond the second bud) is usu-
ally left near the base of each cane
to provide renewal cane for the fol
lowing year. These spurs should be
attached to the old trunk, or as near as
possible to it. All canes excepting the
four renewal canes and the four spurs
are removed entirely. 1t is advisable
to leave only as much old wood as is
absolutely necessary to hold up the
producing canes.
The trunk should be firmly tied to
both wires and each cane should be
tied to the wire in at least two places
to prevent its being broken off by the
weight of fruit produced. Binder twine
Is commonly used for tying.

Dairy Cows Need Plenty
of Water to Make Milk

Water in the dairy cows ration can
not be overemphasized, because it rep
resents seven-eighths of the contents
which go in the milk pail. A short
age of water will cut down the milk
supply more quickly than will a short
age of any particular feed.
Tests at experiment stations show
that COW will consume from to
pounds of water to each pound Of dry
matter. If the COW is producing 4 to
5 gallons of milk she will need more
than that quantity of water.
The average animal in the herd will
consume - gallons or 100 pounds Of
water each day. One COW on test at
the Missouri station giving 110 pounds
of milk daily consumed $50 pounds
or 65 gallons of water in a day.
Water is more often the limiting
factor in production during cold snaps.
The two things which affect the guam
tity COW can drink are the tempera-
ture of the water and the number Of
times she drinks. No digestive sys-
tenn, even cows, can take 100 pounds
of ice water at one time and not be
disturbed.

FEED DAIRY COWS
LITERALLY PAYS

Many dairymen are finding that 1t
is more profitable to feed good COWS
literally than to feed larger number
Of COWS poorly or only fairly well. It
is a common observation among dairy
men that good cows will return a
profit on all the feed they will eat If
the ration is we'll balanced
Cow-test association records re-
peatedly show that the greatest re-
turns over feed costs are made by the
COWS which consume the largest
amount Of feed.
Tests made by the dairy department
at the Ohio experiment station show
that good cows fed more literally than
Is the general practice not only
produce more milk and butterfat than
the same cows on the ordinary ration,
but produce a larger amount at a
lower cost per pound.
The average annual butterfat pro-
duction of these COWS fed q ration
ordinarily considered ample was 1886
pounds. On the more generous ration
the average production Of the same
COWS was 568 pounds.
AS the amount of feed used for
maintaining the animals was practi-
cally the same in both cases, the
greater part of the additional feed
in the liberal ration was available for
production
Not all cows will use the extra feed
for milk production; some of limited
productive capacity will not permit
liberal feeding or will turn the extra
feed into bodily fat. In neither Of
these cases is liberal feeding profitable
and with such cows ordinary feeding
will likely prove Improbable.

Powder Obtained From In

Quite Satisfactory.

prepared by the United States Department.
of Agrfculture.)
Kamala, a brownish powder OBJ
tanned from a plant in India and long
used there as a drug, has been found
satisfactory for removing tapeworms
from poultry. This announcement is
made by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture as a result Of ex-
periments carried on by DR.. Maurice
G. Hall and Dr. J. E. Shillinger of the
geological division, bureau of animal
industry.
Cause Disturbances.
Tapeworms cause serious disturb
anceS in chickens, turkeys and other
poultry, the injuries ranging from un-
thriftiness to conditions Stimulating
paralysis, due to deficient diet, some
times resulting in death. Up to the
present time no satisfactory treat
ment had been known. The demand
for remedy has been insistent and
was considered the more urgent in
that the life histories Of so many tape
worms are unknown that satisfactory
preventive measures cannot be rec
commended as yet. Moreover, so far
as life histories are known they in
volve such intermediate hosts as flies,
earthworms, slugs, and similar ami
mails which are themselves very diff
cult to control under farm conditions.
The need for such a drug as kamala
is therefore apparent

chickens and six turkeys, counts be-
ing made. daily of the tapeworms re-
moved, the birds finally being killed
to determine whether any of the para
sites were left. The result indicated
that a dose of one gram to a chicken
removed all the worms in approxi-
mately 10 cases out of 20, a much bet
ter result than has been secured with
any other drug. The dose for tur-
keys seems to be two grams.
Way to Administer.
The Investigators say the best meth
cd of administration appears to be in
dfvidual dosing with pills, but that the
use Of capsules is also satisfactory.
Flock dosing by the administration Of
the drug in feed is much less satisfac-
tory. The dosing of individual birds
is easily accomplished and fasting and
purgatives do not appear to be impor-
tant. At the present time it may not
be possible to obtain kamala at all
drug stores, but it Is thought that
within a short time manufacturers
will have it on the market in con-
venient form. An estimate of the
cost of the kamala itself for treat
ment Of chickens is less than one
cent per bird.

Alfalfa Pasture Likely
Cause Of Stock BlOat

Alfalfa pasture is very likely to
cause bloat. In order to at least les
sen the chance of bloat, do not turn
stock in upon the alfalfa until it is
thoroughly dry in the mornings, and
do not put them into it hungry. If
you have another pasture for them
to Craze on in the mornings, it would
be much better. Or, when accustom-
ing them to it, feed them we'll on some
other dry feed and put them on the
alfalfa but a short time, gradually
lengthening the time which they are
allowed to stay each day.
If the case of bloat in the COW is not
extreme, it may be sufficient to drive
the COW, or let her walk for water.
In some cases the following simple
treatment may be successful: A rope
Of twisted straw is knotted with pine
tar or wagon grease or other unsavory
substance and is placed in the cows
mouth as bit, being secured by tying
behind the horns. The effort of the
animal to dislodge this brings the
mouth and throat into action which
stimulates the secretion of saliva in
swallowing, thus opening the esopha-
gus which permits the exit Of the gas.
