Apple Orchard Killed by Scales
acid phosphate per tree has proved
very profitable.
Many old orchards still contain
standard varieties, but it is advisable
to dispose of worthless seedlings and
plant new trees In their places.
Extra care is needed in working over
an old orchard as the growth in the
trees must be pruned out carefully and
slowly over a period of time so as not
to Injure the trees.
ORDER FRUIT TREES EARLY
Because It Is Shipped Too Late Large
Amount of Nursery Stock
Fails to Grow.
Order your nursery stock early, ad-
vises C. V. Holsinger of the horticul-
tural extension department at Iowa
State college. The amount of nursery
stock, which fails to grow Is startling
more than 50 per cent In many eases,
and ali because it is shipped too late
and not because It is inferior stock, as
is often supposed.
In the fall plants and trees store re-
serve food from which the first growth
in the spring is made before the roots
start When plants grow in storage,
this reserve Is wasted and after plant-
ing the stock dies before the roots get
started. It is therefore essential that
leaves and roots start together. Stored
nursery stock will not start to grow
until late, so it is possible to get It
planted while still in the dormant con.
dition.
~ TO ERADICATE PEAR BUGHT
Disease Shows Itself in Blackening
Leaves and Shriveling Twigs—
Must Be Cut Out.
Pears are often troubled with blight.
This disease shows itself in blacken-
ing leaves and shriveling twigs. The
destroying germ works in the wood,
so cannot be reached by any spray.
Cutting is the only remedy. But
blight is very contagious. So take the
precaution to dissolve an antiseptic
tablet in a quart jar of ,warm water,
and after each and every cut, dip the
pruning shears into the solution er
paint the saw with a dauber wet with
it. Cut well below the infected parts.
Immediately bum all wood and leaves.
Pear blight should be eradicated at
any time of the year it is noticed.
popular. Bread
which is very nice
for sandwiches
and one which
will keep for sev-
eral days is:
Nut Bread.—
take one cupful
of sugar, one egg, three-fourths of a
cupful of chopped or broken, walnuts,
two and one-fourth cupfuls of flour,
three teaspoonfuls of baking powder,
one-half teaspoonful of salt. Mix flour,
baking powder and salt, beat the egg,
add sugar, milk and flour, stir in the
nuts and bake forty-five minutes in a
moderate oven.
Lunch Cake.—Take one-third of a
cup of soft butter, a'dd one and one-
third cupfuls of brown sugar, two
eggs, one-half cupful of milk, three
teaspoonfuls of halving powder, one-
half teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-half
cupful of raisins and one and three-
fourths cupfuls of flour. Put all the
ingredients in a bowl aud beat togeth-
er three minutes; bake forty minutes
in a moderate oven.
Doughnuts. — Crehm three table-
spoonfuls of butter, add three-fourths
of a cup of sugar, the yolks of three
eggs and one white, one cupful of
freshly mashed potato, one-fourth of a
cupful of milk, two and one-half cup-
fuls of flour, three teaspoonfnls of
baking powder, one-half teaspoonful of
salt, and nutmeg to flijvor. Cream the
butter, add the sugar, then the eggs.
Stir the potato and milk. Add the
flojir gradually and use more if neces-
sary. The less flour the better cakes.
Fry in deep fat. These cakes will keep
moist much longer than those prepared
without potato.
Sandwiches are always well liked
and there is such a variety that every-
body may enjoy the kind he likes. The
following are a few of the many:
Minced hard boiled eggs, grated
cheese, seasoned with mustard.
Sardines made to a paste with lemon
juice.
Thin slices of roast veal covered
with chopped pickles.
Equal parts of chicken and cold
cooked ham, finely minced and season-
ed with curry powder.
Prunes chopped with half the quan-
tity of walnut meats, seasoned with
lemon juice and powdered sugar.
Cucumber, grated onion and mayon-
naise.
Cottage cheese, jam or marmalade.
Chopped figs and peanuts seasoned
with lemon juice.
Lettuce with mayonnaise.
Chopped onion and salad dressing
with slices of radish.

SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS.
ORIGIN OF POMACEOUS FRUIT
Pomology Enlarged to Mean Fruit-
Growing in General—Several
Varieties Included.
Apples are described as pomes or
pomaceous fruits. From the botanical
word “pome” we get dur word pomolo-
gy, which is enlarged to mean fruit-
growing in general, but which was first
understood to mean pomaceous fruits
only. Other pomes are pears, quinces,
hawthorns and mountain ash June ber-
ries. Systematic pomology is the class-
ification of pomes or fruits of this
character.
A very good pie may be made us-
ing a combination of prunes and rhu-

GOOD DEMAND FOR BERRIES
They Must Have Proper Attention at
Right Time to Make Them
Highly Profitable.
Judging from the scarcity of straw-
berries and raspberries on the market
the last few years, they should be
good crops for interested growers to
try. However, they must be given at-
tention at the right time and in the
right way to be a success.
SUPPLY CHICKS GREEN FEED
Young Fowls Thrive Much Better With
Daily Allowance—Dandelion
Tea Is Useful.
Chicks will thrive much better with
a daily allowance of green food. Dan-
delions, leaves and roots, are good
for them. A tea made of the dande-
lion roots and used to mix the mash
is a good tonic, and the dandelion
greens chopped fine are useful
prunes, using a
cupful of prunes
to two cupfuls of
rhubarb. If both
are cooked the
combination matf
be put into a
baked shell and
covered with a meringue, otherwise the
mixture is sweetened and covered with
? crust.
A few jars of canned vegetables
put up for the'very little people is a
good investment. The mixture espe-
cially recommended is spinach, car-
rots, a stalk of celery and an onion,
all processed together and sealed. In
the winter this may he served as a
vegetable or put through a sieve and
served as a puree.
Chicken Soup With Vegetables.—-
Peel a quart of small onions and boil
until tender, changing the water three
times. Line a soup tureen with thin
slices of toast, cover with onion, add
one pint of cooked peas and two
quarts of boiling chicken stock. Serv^
Immediately.
Coffee Blanc Mange.—Take two cup-
fuls each of coffee and milk. Add
four tablespoonfuls of cornstarch to
four tablespoonfuls of sugar. Cook
until it thickens, then pour into a wet
''mold to chill. Serve with cream and
sugar; cream may be either plain or
whipped.
Flap Jacks.—Use any good griddle
cake batter and cook rhe cakes the
size of a tea plate. Spread with but-
ter, sprinkle with brown sugar, or, bet-
ter, maple sugar, and, lacking either,
jelly or jam; pile In layers of six;
cut and serve like pie.
Tuna Fish Salad.—Soak one-half en-
velope of .gelatin in one-fourth cup-
ful of cold water, add three-fourths of
a cupful of hot salad dressing or dis-
solve over hot water; add one-haifi-
cupful of chopped celery, one green
pepper, one-half teaspoonful of salt,
one-fourth teaspoonful of paprika*
mix and turn into individual molds
rinsed in cold water. Turn out on
crisp lettuce and garnish with minced
.parsley or a spray of parsley on top.
Sioux Falls.—The cattle industry Is
admittedly in a bad way. For more
than a year the average raiser has
been losing money. The herds are be-
ing diminished. More beef Is sent to
market direct from the grass, corn be-
ing too costly for fattening at the pres-
ent live stock quotations, which mean;
more waste and less meat per head.
More land over which the
roamed is being turned into wheat, aad
this also adds to the depopulation of
America’s herds. But in the butcher
shops of the hamlets and villages, the
smaller cities aud the great centers,
the consumer finds Old Doc High Cost
has as strong a clutch as ever. Out
here in regions where the raw ma-
terial is raised the traveler finds the
price of beefsteak and pork chops over
the counter is as much a problem for
the family budget as it is in the big
cities.
Cattle Question Important
Some gloomy prophets say if the re-
duction- of the herds continues at the
present rate steak may jump to 90
cents or $1 a pound within a year.
They may prove wrong or they may
prove right, but in any event the cat-
tle question Is one of deep concern.
At every stop that has . been made
in six states, the farmers have talked
with emphasis.
Everywhere evidence was presented
that feeders are Quitting operations
In sheer discouragement.
During the last year after buying
cattle from the grass, then feeding
them corn at $1.50 to $1.80 and up-
ward a bushel, they have sent their
stock to market, only to receive for the
finished product far less than It cost
them.
In Nebraska the state authorities say
hundreds of men are sending cattle
to market direct from pasture because
feeders will not buy.
In Kansas one-fourth of the pas-
tures this year are without herds, so
the state live stock association at To-
peka reported a few days ago.
They are marketing them light these
days at 2 or 3 years old. The associa-
tion’s experts say that last year the

Geneva.—A young woman ar-
rested near Geneva while trying
suspiciously to steal across the
frontier into France was found
after shrewd search to have cor-
set “hones” of gold and platinum
covered with cloth, and shoe

Women Best on Guard Duty.
Warsaw.—Women make the best sol-
diers for guard duty at barracks and
food supply depots, according to the
Polish war ministry. An appeal for
women volunteers asserts that women
are especially noted for their trust-
worthiness and honesty.

by thunder, but although the sight was
not attractive there seemed neither
cause for alarm nor need for a prema-
ture descent. Even the growling rumble
of thunder at a great distance, which
came at last, failed to disconcert, and
the airplane soared on with bracing
wires singing and the engine in deep,
full-throated roar.
“Then, without further warning, the
storm broke in full fury. A mighty
crash of thunder, which seemed to
deafen and almost shake the machine
out of the skies, was accompanied by
a wild hurst of hail and rain which
lashed the machine mercilessly and
made it toss from one side to the other
like a cork on the surface of the sea.
In a steaming cloak of rain and mist
it was impossible for the eye to see
the ground.
"Peal after peal of thunder followed
In swift succession between vivid
flashes of furious summer lightning.
The heavens had opened to pour forth
the accumulated passion of centuries.
At nearly 7,000 feet up it would be
suicidal to descend into the unknown
and unseen. Which was safer—air or
land? To the pilot, anxious almost
beyond endurance, came the thought,
common to every flying man, of fire
in the air, and as If to confirm this
horror a flash in a moment illumi-
nated the whole machine as though It
were caught in the probing beam of
a searchlight at night The sky was
rent from vault to horizon by a vivid
streak of electric fire. The Indicating
fingers on the navigation instruments
oscillated wildly.
Like Wounded Bird.
“It seemed the last moment; but It
passed, and still the machine was air-
worthy. The hail still tore fiercely at
the fabric of the planes; the machine
was becoming more and more un-
stable; bpt It still hummed on. Down
below a cloud of vapor made It Im-
possible to see the earth or to sight
a stretch of ground whereon to land.
The thunder broke with unabated' fury
at regular intervals, and at each on-
slaught the machine quivered like a
wounded bird.
“If the pilot continued to fly on it
could only be a matter of moments
before all control of the craft would
be wrenched from his hands. It was
equally hazardous to plunge down into
the sea of mist in total ignorance of
the lie of the land beneath. But to
the latter course only could a shred
of hope cling. The engine therefore
was suddenly shut off and the nose of
the machine dropped.
“By the altimeter, watched feverish-
ly, the descent of a few thousand feet
seemed to take many minutes, lu the
thick of a swirling mist a sudden and
violent contact with the earth was mo-
mentarily expected. But down—down;
traril at what seemed the critical sec-
ond there came a sudden inrush
steady, grateful air from a region ot
smiling content and peacefulness, with
the earth a thousand feet below. There
was no sunshine, but there was also
no storm. It had heen a cyclone oi
the upper regions only.”

FLIES TORMENT DAIRY COWS
Mixture Recommended by Minnesota
Expert to Keep Pests Away
During Summer Season.
By preventing files from tormenting
the cows much greater flow of milk is
secured during the summer months
and the remainder of the lactation
period. The following home-made mix-
ture has given good results at the col-
lege dairy farm. It Is better than sev-
eral other mixtures tried and quite as
efficient as the prepared sprays cost-
ing a dollar per gallon. It Is made as
follows:
1% quarts of any standard coal tar
dip.
quarts fish oil.
3 pint of oil of tar.
1 quart of coal oil.
pint of oil of Eucalyptus.
Mix In ten gallons of lukewarm soft
water in which a bar of laundry soap
has been dissolved.
Spray twice a day, in the morning
after milking and in the afternoon
when cows are brought In for silage or
green feed. When a half barrel cart
with spray nozzle attachment is used
two men can spray a herd of forty
cows in ten minutes. This mixture Is
not perfect and does not keep all the
flies away and, furthermore, it leaves
the coat rather harsh and causes dust
to adhere; however, it is very bene-
ficial and practical and results in more
milk aud greater comfort.—H. H. KI1-

Paris.—Vengeance for rhe assassina-
tion of Essad Pasha, head of the Al-
banian delegation here, is being quiet-
ly awaited by a “blood brother” of the
Balkan leader, according to a circum-
stantial story by a French writer, pub-
lished by the Excelsior.
This man, now rich and Influential
in France, the story goes, was one of
several poor young men who 30 years
agqfmet Essad Pasha, then known as
the “Black Dagger of Abdul Hamid,”
In Constantinople, when he crowded
into a card game and insisted upon
playing with them. Fearing Essad
Pasha, they protested they were too
poot* to play with him, but he insisted.
emphasizing it by placing his revolver
on the table as a threat.
To meet this, the “blood brother”
put down his dagger, poisoned, he said,
Essad Pasha showed his surprise, then
his pleasure.
“Young man,” he exclaimed, “this ig
the first time anyone has dared defy
me. Men like you are rare.”
Essad Pasha took his own dagger,
opened a vein in his wrist and also in
that of the young raaD, each sucked s
few drops of blod from the other and
they became “blood brothers,” accord-
ing to Albanian customs, sworn tc
avenge each other’s deaths.
“I am ready," this, "brother” now li
quoted as saying, “to keep my oath,

courts will make It unnecessary foi

KILL STABLE FLIES QUICKLY
Ten Per Cent Solution of Formalin in
Milk Sprinkled in Gutters
Is Recommended.
A quick and sure method of killing
stable flies is to make a 10% solution
of formalin in milk and sprinkle it on
the cement floors and gutters. Th©
flies are attracted to it and are killed
In 30 minutes. Then the floors are
washed and the stable is clean for the
day. This operation is repeated ench
morning as long as necessary. At the
beginning of the campaign it will take
several mornings to clear out the flies,
but after that It will be necessary to
do it only as often as they become
bothersome. Their breeding place In
the mail lire pile outside the stable
should he done | away with and the
manure drawn out dally to the fields or
nlaced in a fly-tight pit.
