Produce Maximum Crops
of High-Quality Fruit

High returns in commercial fruit
growing can be had only by making
it possible for every tree in the Or
chard to produce maximum crops of
high-quality fruit. This means, along
with other care, that the tree must
be properly nourished. The fertility
of some of our orchard soils is such
that artificial fertilizers are not re-
quired until the trees have borne sew
eral crops; others require fertilizing
from the very beginning. The or
chardist should be sure TO supply his
trees with the necessary plant food
before they show appreciate signs of
needing it. 1t is easier to keep up the
fertility of the orchard than to build
up the soil after it has become impov-
erished. With the feeling that our
soils are inexhauStible we are often
prone to put off fertilizing until tn
trees show signs of stress by produc-
ing inferior fruit.

Deadly Enemies of All
Young Poultry on Farm

The hawk usually carries off the
young chicks. If they attack larger
ones they leave the bodies, and it will
be found death was due to a wound in
the back of the neck, the skull torn
open, and the feathers (if the car
cass has been devoured so that the
skull evidence is not available) are
widely scattered around but not
trailed.
Should the chicken be found lying
dead on its side, with its neck
stretched out and a small wound in
the throat, it is the work of a weasel
that has sucked it's life blood.
The rat, as rule, does its deadly
work at night, and the carcass is often
found very badly mauled. The en-
trails are generally drawn out but not
eaten, and the carcass is bitten and
gnawed in many places.

Value of Fodder

Well-cured fodder corn, when put in
the sflo late in the fall or any time
during the winter months, will make
nearly as good silage as when it is
put in at the usual time. When en-
sling dry corn arrange to add one ton
of water to each ton of cut corn and
tramp it down as usual. Feeding tests
at Iowa State college have shown
that an acre of corn when fed to dairy
cows had twice the feeding value as
when fed as fodder.

Alfalfa Seed Crops

Both the first and second cuttings
of alfalfa have been known to pro-
duce good seed crops. The highest
yields of seed are usually secured
from the first crop; however, weather
conditions usually influence seed pro,
ductiOn 10 quite an extent, and con-
sequently it is not possible to state
which crop will produce the greater
amount of seed. Clear, bright wealth
er. with slight deficiency of mois-
ture. seems TO be the best for seed
production.

Blue Grass Varieties

One kind of blue grass is called
Kentucky blue grass and another kind
is called Canadian blue grass. 1t is
generally considered that the Ken.
lucky is the more desirable. Blue
grass seed is not very viable and ii
takes a heavy seeding when sod is
wanted quickly. and the seed is also
expensive. The best way to get a
field of blue grass pasture is to seed
it down to timothy and alsike clover
and let the blue grass come in.

especially when a few drops of plain
Castoria will right a baby's stomach
and end almost any little i'll. Fretful-

until everything is serene.
That's the beauty of Castoria; its
gentle influence seems just what is
needed. 1t does all that castor oil
might accomplish, without shock to
the system. Without the evil taste.
It's delicious! Being purely vegeta-

Just one warning: it is genuine
Fletcher's Castoria that physicians
recommend. Other preparations may
be just as free from all doubtful drugs,
but no child Of this writer's is going

care and feeding of babies that comes
with Fletcher's Castoria is worth its

ALARM HALTS THIEF
AT BLAIR MANSION
Cut Wire Brings Police to Historic
Home as Intruder
Flees.

A burglar alarm. sounding when a
wire was cut, foiled an attempt short
ly before noon today to rob the his
toric Blair mansion at 1861 Pennsyl-
vania avenue, built by Frances Pres
ton Blair, and now owned by his de-
scendent, Gist Blair. who is away for
the Summer.
Within 3 minutes after the alarm
had sounded, in the offices Of the
Mutual District Messenger Co., police
reserves from the third precinct
reached the house, headed by Capt. I.
Sheetz, who was nearby when the door
was tempered with. Detectives Ed
Kelly and Wilson made a careful eX-
animation of the furnishings OF the
mansion, but could find nothing miss
ing.
A rear door had been opened, neces'
stating the cutting Of the burglar
alarm wire, which sounded the alarm
and frightened the intruder away.
Several hundred persons were attract
ed to the scene. The Blair house is
one of the historic mansions of the
city. It has housed many distin
guished personages. and there it was
that Robert T.. Lee was offered the
command Of the Union armies before
he cast his lot with the South.

MOVE FOR STRIKE
|. CONFERENCE FAILS
Governor Holds Mine Farley
Plan Turned Down
by Operators.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, August S.-Gov
Donahey today conceded his attempt
to bring about a conference between
miners and operators Of the central
competitive soft coal field to negotiate
on a wage scale had failed and said
that at present he has no further
plans for attempting to settle the coal
strike.
Gov. Donahey, after asking the sup
port of the Governors of Illinois, Ind
lana, and Pennsylvania, had asked
miners and operators organizations to
meet in conference at Toledo August
Is, to resume discussion of the wage
scale where it was terminated at the
Miami, Fla, conference.
The miners generally were in favor
of the plan, but the operators did not
agree to the conference, declaring the
central competitive field has been
broken up as far as a unified wage is
concerned, and asserting they believed
it better for the operators and miners
in the various districts to attempt to
get together.
Quiet prevailed in Ohio coal fields
over the week end following reports
to the governors Office that ESQ men
had been deputized by sheriffs in the
seven counties in which there have
been recent disturbances.
The governor Saturday was mott.
fled by Rice Miller. head of the Illinois
Operators Association, that Illinois
operators had rejected his proposal.
S. Fl. Robbins, president Of the Ohio
Operators Association. in a statement
Friday also pointed out difficulties
in the way of such a meeting.

EXTENDED MERGER.
Brief Filed With |. c. c. for
Consolidation With Erie and
Pere Marquette.

Another step in the long drawn-out
fight to merge the Chesapeake & Ohio
with other railroads was taken today
when a brief, drafted for presentation
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, was made public by attorneys for
the c. & o. A proposal to merge the
Erie and Pere Marquette into the
c. & o. is made in the brief, which is
expected to be followed by similar
statement Of position from representa-
tives of Il group of minority stockhold-
ers of the G.. & O., who opposed the
merger. Preparation Of the document
constitutes one more approach to a
final conclusion of the lengthy con-
troversy which has waged over the
first large scale attempt to consolidate
Eastern trunk line railroads.
Scheme as Outlined.
Under the scheme now pending be-
fore the commission, the Chesa peake
& Ohio proposed to buy outright con-
troll or stock amounting to control OF
the Erie and Pere Marquette systems,
at prices agreed upon nearly year
ago. The brief stressed the argument
that o. P. Van Sweringen of Cleveland,
the chief promoter Of the plan, and his
associates have sought no personal
profits from the transaction.
AS owners of huge blocks of stock
of the Erie railroad, they have Of
fered to sell the securities to the
Chesapeake & Ohio at a price of $34
per share for common stock, "a great
bargain" the brief said, and to sub
NIT to a commission fixing of that
price at even a lower figure, if it is
found justified.
Profit Is Anticipated.
The Chesapeake & Ohio Co., 1t was
further declared, stood to make a
purchasing these stocks, considering
the recent market advances and to
make even more by the efficiency and
economy which, as a larger railroad
unit, could be attained by the con-
solidation. The prices contemplated
for the Erie stock. it was argued, were
more than reasonable, the brief hold
ing that the lowest possible valuation
of Erie common, on the basis Of earn
ings, was III excess of $40 per share,
and that on the basis of the book
value of Erie assets, it reached much
higher sums.
G. & o. "Hemmed About"
The brief also argued that the
Chesapeake & Ohio. if not permitted
to expand by taking in the Pere Mar
quette and Erie, will be hemmed
about by it's competitors, its business
narrowed, and it's future limited
In hearings on the proposal before
the commission, the brief declared,
the officers of the railroads concerned
had clearly demonstrated that the
merger projected would work to public
interest by lettering and making more
economical present transportation ia
cilities. while their opponents, the mi
nority stockholders. had been Critical
rather than constructive in ATTACKING
the proposal.
