Grain to Dairy Cattle

The amount Of grain that should be
given to dairy cattle each day depends
upon the production and breed, says
an authority at the North Carolina
State college. For Jersey animals pro-
ducing less than ten pounds of milk, no
grain should be given, but for every
pound over ten, the animal should
have six-tenths Of a pound of grain.
Guernsey cattle should receive frac-
ton over half pound for each pound
Of milk produced above twelve. The
Holstein COW gets four-tenths Of a
pound of grain for each pound of milk
produced above sixteen and the Ayr
shire should get little less than one
half pound of grain for each pound of
milk over fourteen. This grain ration
presppposes the feeding of all the good
legume hay the animal will eat. Where
the hay is of poor quality more grain
will be consumed.

Bees Must Have Care to
Survive Winter Weather

Because many beekeepers failed to
properly prepare their bees for winter
last year, New York state loses about
five million pounds of honey this sea-
son, says Prof. George Rea Of the col
lege of agriculture. Half Of the bees
lied during the cold season of 1888.
Furthermore, he points out, honey
bees are worth about fifty times as
much for cross-pollination of fruit
bloom and the bloom of certain crops
as they are in the value of the honey
crop. Shortage of bees accounts for
the shortage Of fruit in some orchards.
when the outside temperature falls
to about fifty degrees Fahrenheit"
Professor Rea says, enough insula-
ton must be placed outside of the bee
hive to keep it warm inside. Fifty
seven degrees inside the hive is de-
sirable. After hard freezing it is too
late for best results.
Before packing bees for winter,
weak queens should be replaced and
any diseased colonies destroyed. Plenty
of honey should be left for winter.
When the final surplus is removed,
slngle-story colonies should have combs
two-thirds to three-fourths full of
honey.

Ants Guido Man in Many
Demonstrations of Skill

With we'll trained soldiers, skillful
builders, successful farmers, and able
rulers many of the ant nations chal-
lenge some Of mans most outstand-
ing accomplishments, says Pathfind-
er Magazine. These wonderfully or
ganized tribes perform wonders which
are hard to understand. They pursue
methods remarkably similar to those
of man. Their formations in war show
a perfection which is not only similar
to but rivals that Of the worlds best
armies. Working tirelessly some Of
them, instead of hunting all Of their
food, actually produce part Of it them
selves. Certain varieties of mush-

them and are grown in underground
beds receiving careful cultivation and
watering.
Most striking of all Is their building.
Some of the tower-like structures ants
erect would far outstrip those of man
if they were considered in view of the
comparative sizes Of the builders.
Some of the buildings reach a height
of 20 feet and Withstand severe storms

tribes are aided by slaves captured in

Annual Spraying
Checks Leaf Curl
Peach Trees Need Attention
During Late Fall or in
Winter Months.

BY H. w. Anderson. Chief in Pomological
Pathology. University of Illinois.-WNU
Service
Fruit growers who hope to harvest
at least a normal crop Of 5000 car
loads Of peaches next summer will play
safe by spraying their trees for leaf
curl disease this season.
The disease is fairly easy to control
by the use of standard fungicides Ell
Their in fall or late winter months. Fail
applications are usually the most prac-
teal since in a wet spring the heavy
spray rigs are hard to get through the
orchard.
Dormant sprays for leaf curl are
usually prepared so that any scale In
sects present may also be killed with
the one application. For this purpose
strong solution of lime-sulphur has
been the standard in past years. tits
prepared by mixing 12h gallons of
liquid lime-sulphur in 100 gallons Of
water, or If the grower Is certain that
scale is not present, the leaf curl can
be controlled by using half the amount
Of lime-sulphur, or 6A gallons in 100
gallons of water.
When applying the spray, it is essen
tial to hit every twig, as any branch
missed, may develop the disease next
spring. Fortunately, the leaf curl fun
gus rarely spreads to new growth in
the spring months after it appears, and
consequently missed branches alone
suffer.
Last year the peach trees Of the
state were seriously injured by an cpl
demic of leaf curl. Growers then ex-
pected a renewal of the disease in the
spring Of 1884, but weather conditions,
combined with more careful spraying,
reduced the infection to such an ex-
tent that practically no damage was
done.
Outbreaks of peach leaf curl cannot
be predicted with certainty and since
the only effective remedy is dormant
spraying, the best plan is to make ap-
plications every winter regardless of
the disease prospects. The absence of
leaf curl in one or even four or five
years in succession is no guarantee
that the disease will not become seri-
GUS in following years.

Here comes Rod"
Rodney Gerard leaned against a
small tree and regarded Prudence
with smiling aloofness.
"We have with us today-Prue of
Prosperity farm. What do you think
of our logging enterprise, partner?"
She gripped the stump with both
gloved hands. A small cold tremor of
fear quivered through her. He hadn't
moved, yet she felt as if irresistibly
she were being drawn into his arms.
Why, why did it have to be he who
set her heart humping, whose eyes
seemed to stop her breath? How could
he in few weeks have so possessed
her? Magic? Black art? Almost she
began to believe in them. Why
couldn't it have been Jim Armstrong,
who had had neither time nor money
to finance circus riders?
She kept her eyes on her brother as
hands deep in the pockets Of his heavy
sweater he walked away. She said
unevenly:
David is unbelievably better, isn't
hep
Better! He's pretty nearly okay.

Gerard jumped to his feet at the
warning call. Prue's eyes followed
his. The men had taken to the cover
of big trees. All except one. Why
why didn't the stupid creature
Eli! O'Shea! Look out!'
Gerard yelled the warning as he
dashed toward the red-headed giant.
Prudence clutched her hands over her
heart. Would he be in time? Didn't
Rodney realize his own danger when
he hurled himself at the man? The
tree was down! So were the two
men. Crushed? The crew dropped
their axes and rushed forward.
She shut her eyes for an instant.
When she opened them, Gerard was
on his feet with his hand on O'Shea's
shoulder.
SORRY to treat you rough, Shance.
You had to take the chance Of being
knocked out by the tree or by me-"
The dazed man blinked small red
eyes at the PROSTATE forest monster

care to meet Rodney Gerard, and she
couldn't face Jim A mstrong. OF
course, he didn't know of her absurd
statement that she was engaged to
him, but until she felt less ashamed
of herself she would keep out of his
way. She must have been dazed with
cold and excitement that day to have
fabricated such story.
She shook off the past, filled her
lungs with the sparkling air and her
eyes with the present. They glowed
with laughter as she watched the men

baggy corduroy trousers. They were
bare Of arm and throat. They had
lost the unemployed SLOUGH, were
clear-eyed and hard of muscle. They
seemed happy and clean.
She blinked away sudden tears Of
gratitude as her brother appeared be-
tween the snowy trees. 1t seemed in
credible that the erect, vigorous man
in army breeches, high boots, and
heavy sweater was the same person
whom she and Gerard had tenderly as
sisted from the black roadster not so
many weeks ago.

The men from the mission were

she watched them. Gerard, Arm

their first day at hard labor; two had
deserted to Galloway.
Galloway! The repetition Of the
name brought Prue's doubts of the
mans acceptance of the present situa-
ton crowding back into her mind.
Had he given up the fight? She
couldn't believe 1t. He was too re-
sourceful, too relentless. If only she
could think of the devastating things
to say when she faced him that were
thronging on the tip of her tongue
now.
"Warm enough, Prue?"

from an imaginary verbal battle with
Galloway.

the Americans feel, on the other
hand, that the legal golf ball in use
in this country gets up so much
faster than the British ball and is so

No American golfer can find any,

they haven't been able to prove it
