Profit In Spraying. .
The Nebraska Experiment Station
has just issued Bulletin No 106 enti
tled, "Does it Pay to Spray Nebraska
Apple Orchards? It is free to residents
of the state. Those desiring it should
address the Agricultural Experiment
Station, Lincoln, Nebraska.
The sprayibg operations from which
the records published in the bulletin
were obtained were conducted in two
orchards iu Washington county. The
purpose of the work was to demon
strate the proper methods of sprayir.g
apples; and to determine whether,
under the conditions existing in Ne
brasku, it pays to spray. The materi
als used were Bordeaux mixture and
Paris green in the first three spray
ings, and arsenate of lead alone in the
last two sprayings.
The cost of spraying in one orchard
was about 29 cents per tree for four
sprayings, and in the other orchard
about 40 cents per tree for five snray
ings. Spraying produced a net gain
per tree above the cost of spraying of
$1 .70 in one orchard, and $2.56 in the
other orchard . It increased the yield
of fruit by 1.7 bushels per tree in one
orohard, and by 2 1 bushels per tree in
the second orchard. The improvement
in quality of fruit was also very notice-
able. In one orchard the sprayed
irees iruuuceu auoui super cent, di
j .. j i i it . ,
No. 1 fruit while the unspravel trees
gave only I per cent of No 1 fruit .
In the otUor orohard about 62 par
nt of the crop on the sprayed Irees
whs first class fruit while only about
22 per cent of the crop on uusprayed
rees was first grace.
Suggestions ar9 given in regard to
methods of preparing and applying
spray mixtures, and various ar
rangements fori convenience in the
work are pointed out. Five spr.mug.H
are recommended, as follows:
First After the cluster buds open,
but before the individual fljwer buds
expand (usually late in April.) !
Second Just after the petals fill
(usually early in May.)
Third Three weeks after the blos
soms fall (usually early in Jane.)
lourtb leu weeks after the blos
soms fall (commonlv late in July.)
1 if th Three weeks later (commouly
about the middle of August.)

STAMPING OUT DISEASE.

The universities ure beginning to
make special provisions for the train
ing of the men who w 111 In the future
devote themselves to stamping out dls

attacked mankind. Thus the George
Washington University in the National
capital numbers among Its faculty (Jen
tlenrco M. Sternberg, who holds the
title of professor of preventive medl
clue. Gen. Sternberg, who was sur
geou general of the United States army
from 1S03 until 1902, learned by practl

yenrs the average duration of life has
been lengthened by about six years.
During the first thirty-five years of the
last century the vital statistics of the
city of Iiondon showed a mortality of
about twenty-nine to l.OOO. At tho
present time the mortality In that city
has been reduced from seventeen to
nineteen n thousand. Kven more noJa
ble results have been obtained In many
partB of the civilized world ns knowl
edge and methods In the prevention of
Infectious diseases have Increased and
Improved and ns hygienic conditions
have Imkii bettered.
Notwithstanding the story told by
such statistics, there Is plenty of work
abend for the experts In the prevention
of disease. The Census Bureau found
that more thnn 3.",000 people died from
typhoid In the United States In 100O.
According to tho census returns there
were 111,000 deaths from tuberculosis
in the same year, and it is probable
that the total number wns at least 14o,
000. Vet, with Increasing numbers of
young men studying preventive medi
cine in schools such as that maintained
by the George Washington University,
with greater public knowledge of sani
tation and with Improved conditions of
living, the triumphs of the pant will be
surpassed by the victories of tho fu
ture. So the doctor who iwer makes
a cure will be one of the rdst useful
members of the community, devoting
his life to reseu reh work
'tnd to serv
and similar

Inconsequential Jlomti,
The world Is so full Of Inconsequen
tial people; young num and women
whe nre honest, hardworking, nnd nm
bltlous. so far ns their ambition ex
tends, but lacking in something on
scarcely knows what to call It not ex
actly manliness or brain power, but
something ns Intangible ns ningnetlsm
or lack of magnetism.
Tlien, America has so many pretty
girls! They nre exquisite of coloring.
graceful of figure, sweet and amiable of
expression, but there the beauty ends.
There Is no sparkle and glow of Intel
llgence In their: lovely eyes.
Money may have been spent lavishly
In educating these girls nnd they may
have iiKsorhed nil the education It wns
Iiossible for them to tnke, but It left
them Just as they were In childhood,
sweet, smiling, and beautiful. Their
highest ambition Is pretty clothes, nd
miration, "a good time," and a fash'
lonnblc wedding. Then a young couple
gather g'snls and chattels nlmut thein
tnd found another Inconsequential
home. They may be so happy that It
seems like cruel caviling to criticise,
but there Is one question one cannot
help asking: "Where will It end?'
One cannot expect much from such con
ditions. It means another generation of hu
man beings with taste and Intelligence
exactly on the plane of the father nnd
mother. Success Magazine.
The Slaking ot Meerschaum.
There nre two places In the world,
Vienna and Ituula, which for one hun
dred and fifty years have been the cen
ters of the meerschaum trade. So
writes Fritz Morris In the Technical
World Magazine. The latter is a small
village In Thuringia, Saxony, near-tin;
famous old town of Eisenach, where
Martin Luther was confined for. his
own safety, by the then elector. Ituhla
s In u valley, through which a small
rivulet runs: In ancient times It be
longed to two dukes, brothers, each of
whom owned one bank of the river.
The meerschaum Industry wns
brought to Uuhla about 174j byne of
the reigning dukes, since when It has
held Its own more or less In commer
cial progress. To-day It Is a wideawake
town with electricity, water power nnd
gas, with facto.lMi for paper-making,
brassworks, rneerwehnuni, nnd, of later
yenrs, brlarwood-maklng. The meer
schaum trade Is a house Industry, Ilka
the making of tops nt Sonneberg, only
a few miles distant. But, besides tka
work nt home, there are several firms
having factories using electric nnd
steam power, one of which employs In
nnd outside of the house between threo
hundred and four hundred hands.
Ilia of the Actor.
What Is the ense of the actor ngalnst
the mnnnger? I should like to tell
about tho sufferings Inflicted upon play
ers seeking engagements the rudeness
nnd brutality, the actual insults that
nre far too common, particularly to wo
men; hut these ore personnl matters
for which there Is no attempt nt Justifi
cation, says Hartley Davis In Every
body's. Kilt her Is my object to set
forth abuses that have the sanction of
custom, and that managers regard ns
necessary business details.
The actor doesn't object to paying n
dramatic agent n commission amount
ing usunlly to half a week's salary,
under ordinary conditions. T.ut be docs
object when a manager who has the
player's address sends for him through
nn ngent nnd this Is n common prac
tice. And it Is not unfamiliar for a
mnnnger to condui"t all the negotiations
himself, settle upon all the nrrunge
meuts nnd then direct all the members
of a company to call nt the olllce of un
ngent nnd sign the contracts. Actors
lielieve that this Is simply a scheme to
share the commissions with the agent,
and the external evidence supjs.rto
their conclusion.

of a friend I tried Dr. Miles' Antl
