Qui.et Louvaln.
1 had a look at the now much-talked-of
Louvaln, quite a pretty old place,
with its magnificent hotel de vllle
crowded In by the Impresslvo church
In tho center of tho town, and its in
numerable other old gray churches
with long sloping roofs the place a
perfect nest of nuns and friars. The
streets were lined with tho high walls
' and closed windows of convent after
convent, and huge clusters of monas
teries' were on the hills about the town
many very newly built and modern
and the town was seething with
black-robed priests and brown bare
footed monks and coped nuns. This
was .the great Roman Catholic center,
where some of the monastic ordors
have their chief establishments. Tho
library of tho university, so ruUilessly
destroyed, contained a priceless col
lection' .of church documents. "A

"Sammy" April, the small boy who
supplies President Wilson with news
papers, called on Secretary Tumulty
and aBked him what he thought of
Mr. Wilson's messago to congress.
Mr. Tumulty immediately launched
Into a laudatory discussion of the sub
ject. When ho had talked a few min
utes, he paused and asked: "But why
do you ask, Sammy?"
"I have to wrl'to a composition on
it in school tomorrow," replied tho
boy, "and I thought. 1 ,would come to
headquarters for the Information."
Something In This Name.
In Now York a teacher found that
a little negro girl was named Fertiliz
er Johnson.
"Are you sure that Fertilizer is your
right name?" she asked.
"Yes, ma'am," replied the little girl.
"Well, tell your mother to como
here," said tho teacher.
Tho mother came the next day.
"Yes; Fertilizer is right," she said.
"You see, I named her after her father
and mother both. Hor father's name is
Ferdinand and my namo is Liza, so wo
called her Fertilizer."

If the tops of your trees arc nipped
by excessive cold tills winter do not
chop down the trees at first sight.
Walt until the leaves start, prune off
all dead wood and cultivate the ground
thoroughly. This will put new life in
to your trees.
Some people seem to think that in
order to spray their orchards they
must have a big two-horse outfit and
pay out a lot of money to start. Noth
ing of the kind! An orchard of 100
trees can quickly be sprayed by a bar
rel sprayer set on a stone sled, drawn
by a single horse.
Scraping out the dead wood and fill
ing the cavity with cement will be tho
means of saving valuable apple trees
that otherwise would be destroyed by
rot.
We cannot paint peaches a nice lus

Plow the peach orchard In tho

grasses until August, then sow rye or
PROTECT THE FRUIT
TREES FROM INJURY
Stovepipe, Slit Lengthwise,
Keep Away Injurious Little
Rabbits and Mice.
Rabbits do many hundred dollars' of
damage to orchardlsts, nurserymen
and gardeners every year. In view of
the damage they do it would seem bet
ter to offera bounty for their destruc
tion than to Impose a fine for so doing.
In winter where they are very numer
ous they kill many young trees every
year. Older trees of eight inches in
diameter and upwards are seldom dis
turbed unless the rabbits aro closely
pressed for food.
A good way to protect young fruit
trees from injury by these pests is to
procure sections of stovepipe, silt them
lengthwise and pass them around the
body of tho tree. Secure tho plpo to Us
natural shape by means of a strong
string tied about it, and press the low
er end an inch or two into the soli.
This method is very effective, but
might lie found slightly expensive to
the large orchardlst who has several
hundred trees to protect. To tho farm
er with only a dozen or two trees to
give protection It is a cheap and con
venient method of keeping tho rabbit
away.
Remember that mice do almost as
much damage per year as rabbits and
if the Blit in the pipe be close fitted
after it is put around tho tree, and tho
plpo pressed well into tho soil, it will
be just as Impossible for mice to get to
the tree as rabbits. Keep the orchard
free of hollow logs, tree tops, tall
weeds or grass, rail or tile piles or any
other places where rabbits aro apt to
frequent, and get every ono on the
table you can.
REMOVAL OF OLD STUMPS IS MADE EASY

moving stumps from "cut-over" lands has been, in tlio past, tho chief draw
back to tho rapid dewlopineui of tiie r,ouiitr Improved machlm-iy wheu-by

crimson clover to plow under next
spring.
Elevated sites are desirable for
peach orchards, some of tho oldest
peach trees aro on the tops of hills.
Tho application of too much fresh
barnyard manuro stimulates an un
healthy growth of wood and leads to
tho winter killing of many of the
peach-buds.
A few mulberry trees set out around
tho fruit orchard will divert the at
tention of tho birds and afford a wind
break for the fruit trees.
Poultry and plum growing make a
nice combination for the small farmer
who wishes to make use of his poultry
yards.
The human eye Is the great fruit
buyer and wo must put our fruit up in
neat, attractive packages if we care to
obtain tho best prices on the market.
The honest fruit grower who puts
up good fruit and gives honest sized
packages does not need to look up
trade. It will como to him.
ERADICATING PESTS
DURING THE WINTER
Little Extra Work During Cold
Weather Season Will Save
Trees From Codling Moth.
During fall and winter, when the
trees are bare, is a good time to rid all
trees of the cocoons or nests of nu
merous insects. They are thon easily
discernible and may be removed from
tho branches or trunks o" trees with
little trouble. A little extra work dur
ing the winter will savo many trees
from destruction by tho codling moth.
It Is the larvae or young of this insect
that aro responsible for our wormy ap
ples. Even tho work of removing
tho cocoons will not sulllce, but it
will help. Tho spring treatment is to
spray with an arsenical poison, paris
green or arsenato of lead, Immediately
after the petals fall, using three
pounds of arsenato of lead to 50 gal
lons of bordeaux mixture or of water.
If paris green is used it should be at
tho rato of from six to eight ounces to
each no gallons of spray. This spray
ing should bo repeated in about ten
days. Where tho second brood of
codling moth causes damage, a fur
ther spraying should be given, in lati
tudes about parallel with northern In
diana In the latter part of July, and
in latitudes liko southern Indiana
about two weeks eailier. Tho first
codling moth spraying given-just after
tho petals fall, should be as thorough
as it can possibly bo made. Try to
get some of the poison In tho open
calyx throat of eery blossom on tho
tree.
Timely Work.
Now is a good tlmo to clear out
fence corners and burn tho trash nnd
brush found there.

How Uncle Sam Sets Drinking Water Standard
NOW that Uncle Sam, through the United States public health service, hat
set a standard of purity for all drinking water furnished on common car
tiers entering into interstate traffic, many Inquiries have begun to pour Into
Surgeon General Ituport Blue's olllco
about the manner nnd method used
by the government's chemists and
physicians in setting this new water
btandard.
Just how this standard Is reached
was described in nontechnical nnd
understandable English by nn olilcer
of the public health service, as
follows:
About fifteen drops of water are
taken from the Samplo in tho labora
tory, and this small quantity of water.
is spread upon the burfucu of a thin film of agar, a sort of gelatin, poured
into a fiat glass dish, after tho dish and all Instruments used, including the
ugnr, have been thoroughly sterilized to kill such germs as aro ordinarily
present. This dish of gelatin, or culture media, as it is termed, containing
the wntfcr, is placed in an Incubator and kept at a temperature of 98.0 degree?
Fahrenheit for 21 hours.
After this period has elapsed, the plate Is taken out and very small spots
nro noticed dotted over its surface. Each one of these spots represents n
colony of germs which has developed; each colony from a separate germ con
tnlued in tho original sample of water. The colonies aro counted by means
of a disk ruled into squares, which fits under the thin glass dish. If the
number of colonies found In the amount of water planted on tho ngar (in
drops) exceeds ono hundred, tho water Is to be rejected as unsatisfactory
Any count loss than 100 colonies per plate Is considered a safe limit of per
missible bacteriological impurity.
There are other tests to which the water is subjected, using larger quan
tities and different materials as culture media.
American Mule Still Holds His Own in Our Army
THE American army mule need hnve no fear for his laurels becnuso of the
great part gasoline motors have played in transportation problems ol
Kuropeau armies in the present war. I'ntll American roads generally are
brought up to the high standard ol
border, with handling supplies In mo
tor trucks Motor trucks am In general uso, of course, about army posts
and wherever good rouds ate availablo, but when maneuvers laleo tho col
umns into the Held and the sandy or muddy country loads, whore mere wheel
tracks at loss the country aro the only highways, the six-mule team is still
master of the transportation situation.
A few j ears ago it was determined to experiment with motor transporta
tlon as a means to iuereaso the radius of field artillery. General Cro.ler,
chief of the army ordnance bureau, designed a motor battery wagon, which
was tried out in maneuvers. It proved n Hat failure, for It was no heavy that
11 broke through bridges, sunk to tho hubs in soft roads and gonorally ham
pored tho battory to which it was attached. Tho exporlment wa3 abandoned
and tho ordnance bureau Is now content to await the results of tho experi
ments of tho quartermaster's department In solf-propollod army transporta
tion units. Mulos and horses aro good enough for American artillerymen

Albino Sparrow Returns to the National Capital

cranny in a building on Urn east side or Eleventh street between the Ave

Muny persons, seeing tho albino sparrow, have believed It was a stray
cannry, or at least a cross between a regular sparrow and n canary. Such
ho,vevur, Is not tho case. Tho bird Is a real albino, although It has rtirno
