A young husband who had not found
married life exactly a path of roses,
and who sincerely wished to prove to
his wlfo tho depth of his affection,
wont homo one evening and said
cheerily: "Well, Tilda, you can't guess
what I havo done today."
"Mndo a fool of yourself, as usual, '
replied Tilda, ungraciously.
"That's as you look at It, dear one.''
"Oh, John Henry," said the wlfo. "If
you've done anything more than usual
ly idiotic out with it and have done
with it. What under creation have
you been up to now?"
"Tilda, dearest, I have insured my
life."
"Well," said tho irate Httlo woman.
"I always knew you were mean! In
sured your life, indeed! Ah! Always
looking out for yourself first!"

"Too bad you didn't buy It."
"Not at all. I bought ono on the

LACK OF MONEY
Was a Godsend in This Case.
It is not always that a lack of money
is a benefit.
A lady in Ark. owes her health to
tho fact that she could not pay in

"I had been treated by four different
physicians during 10 years of stomach
trouble. Latoly I called on another
who told mo ho could not euro mo;
that I had neuralgia of tho stomach.
Then I wont to a specialist who told
mo I had catarrh of tho stomach and
said ho could euro mo In four months,
but would havo to havo his money
down. I could not ralso tho neces
sary sum nnd In my extremity I was
led to quit coffeo and try Postum.
"Tho results havo been magical. I
now sleep woll at night, something I
had not dono for a long time; tho pain
In my stomach i3 gone and I am a
different woman.
'Every time I had tried to stop cof
feo I suffored from sovcra headaches,
so I continued to drink it, although I
had reason to bellevo it was injurious

(TJy VT. U HOWAIID. University of Mis
flourl, Agricultural College.)
Apple orchards in Missouri must be
sprayed every year against tho nppjo
scab disease, and also against the
two insects, curcullo und codling
moth. Bordeaux mixture and llmo
sulphur solution (summer Btrcngth)
are tho standard remedies for tho dis
ease mentioned and for nearly all
other diseases of tho leaves and fruit.
Arsonato of lead is used almost ex
clusively for poisoning curcullo and
codling moth and all other Insects
which bite or eat tho leaves or fruit.
Scale Insects are controlled by spray
ing with a. very strong solution of
limo sulphur while the trees ure in a
dormant condition.
Tho first summer spray fthe chief
one for controlling scab) is given at
tho time when the clusters of flower
buds have separated, but before tho
flowers themselves have unfolded or
opened out. This Is usually referred
to as tho "first spray," the "first scab
spray," or the "cluster bud spray."
Tho second application is made as
soon as the petals of the flowers be
gin to fall. This Is universally known
ns the "calyx spray," but sometimes
referred to as the "second scab
spray," or the "codling moth spray."
This application is for tho purpose of
controlling tho scab (for which cither,
lime sulphur or Bordeaux mixture Is
used), and also tho insects curcullo
and codling moth which are poisoned
by adding arsenate of lead to the
fungicide. A third and oven a fourth
application, at intervals of two or
three weeksc may bo necessary to con
trol late outbreaks of scab and also
such diseases as fly-speck or sooty
blotch, black rot, cedar rust, apple
blotch, Illinois canker, etc. Bitter rot
may havo to bo combated late in the
summer In the southern half of tho
state in somo seasons. At the same
timo poison may be added as a pro
tection against late broods of codling
moth, curcullo and lesser apple worm.
Bitter rot sprayings may have to be
gin before tho middle of July and

continue, In extreme cases, until tho
middle of August or later. During
tho seasons of 1913 and 1914 bitter rot
was not bad in Missouri.
The season of 1914, on tho whole,
was favorable to tho fruit grower. As
Is the caso nearly every year, there
wore certain districts whero diseases
or Insects or both were more abun
dant than elsewhere. There was less
apple scab than usual although there
wore places whero tho percentage of
this diseaso ran very high on un
sprayed trees. Bitter rot, which
sometimes becomes epidemic In the
southern half of the state, was very
scarce. Only now and then was It
reported during tho season and then
only on varieties like Huntsman and
Willow (Twig) which aro particularly
susceptible to tho disease. Two dis
eases which aro rarely heard of north
of tho Missouri river were very preva
lent all over fie stato this year. Theso
woro tho cedar rust and black or blos
som end rot. Twig blight appeared
again toward trie close of tho bloom
ing period but did much less harm
ti nn the year boforo. In 1913 the
blight attacked the fruit spurs and
killed every flower In tho various clus
ters. In 1914 thn infections again
started in the spurs but only a few
of tho flowers were killed. As a rulo
tho spurs themselves did not perish.
This year many of tho now twigs at
tho ends of tho long branches woro
attacked and killed back for rom four
to flvo inches to a foot, but this caucrrt
little damt'ge as no flowers wro in
volved, v
The two lmect3 which alwayr have
to bo fought every year curcullo nnd
codling moth were present in all
parts of tho state. Tho dry weather
which prevailed from May until Au
gust greatly favored tho spread of tho
codling moth. Another insect, tho
lesser applo worm or sido worm, was
especially bad In 1914. This Insect
bores a hole into tho apples starting
at almost any point on tho surfaco
but usually on tho side. If tho "worm"
penetrates deep it goes straight into
the fruit In whatever direction it mny
start. In such cases the holo It leaves
is much smaller than that made by
tho codling moth. Sometimes though,
the sldo worm penetrates only a quar
ter or half an Inch and then burrows
out qulto a large cavity. Again bur
rows may be mndo along near the
surface, sometimes just through tho
skin or a little deeper. This is tho
way tho Insect works on tho fruit In
cellar storage and sometimes even In
cold storage if tho temperature Is not
kept constantly around the freezing
point.
In 1913 flvo co-operative orchids
were sprayed by tho University of
Missouri. Sixteen demonstrations
were held attonded by 125 people. Ono
demonstration orchard returned nn
avcrago net profit of $101.12 per aero
duo to spraying.
In 1914 twenty orchards wcro
sprayed, or supervised, and between
seventy-five and ono hundred demon
strations hold. Several orchards
shoved a not profit, duo to spraying,
of $300 to $400 per acre.
Each demonstration orchard was
sprayed from two to four times.
Neighboring orchnrd owners were al
ways invited to attend tho demonstra
tions. Between 150 nnd 200 Interested
growers followed the spraying opera
tions throughout the season, nnd ob
served the results at harvest time.
At almost every point where a
demonstration orchard was located,
from ono to a dozen farmers wero
regularly advised about tho manage
ment of their fruit trees nnd vines.
Directly and indirectly, between 250
and 300 orchard owners wero under
tho Immediate influence of the Uni
versity of Missouri.
With ono exception all of the dem
onstration orchards wero sprayed dur
ing the spring and summer with the
two standard solutions, bordeaux
mixture and lime sulphur to control
diseases, with arsenate of lead added
to poison tho insects.
Tho dry or powder form of arsenate
of lead appeared to glvo as good re
results as the paste when used in
half the quantity by weight. The
powdor costs approximately twice as
much per pound as the paste.
Whilo bordeaux mixture is a reli
able fungicide for all preventable or
chard diseases, It is a hazardous ma
terial to use for the calyx spray, espe
cially on varieties of tho Ben Davis
typo and those having a light colored
skin, on account of tho serious injury
from spray burn which may occur.
Solublo sulphur as at present found
on tho market Is a dangerous material
to use as a summer spray. It is very
apt to destroy tho leaves and may
kill tho calyx of tho apples, thus caus
ing tho fruit to decay. Tho Boluble
sulphur seems to set free a large
amount of arsenic from tho arsenate
that must bo used with it as an insec
ticide, and it is this that causes the
injury.
Solublo sulphur, whilo unsnfo to
uso as now made, is a promising spray
material. Two applications during tho
season of 1914 on Gano produced fruit
with a luster or finish thnt even lime
sulphur could not give, but fully 75
per cent of tho leaves woro caused to
drop off. Whero three applications
woro given, from 10 to 25 per cent of
the fruit was destroyed.
Bordeaux arsenato (proparcd bor
deaux) and pyrox aro both good fungi
cides and Insecticides, but both are
apt to burn tho fruit, especially the
Ben Davis and Gano varieties. Both
are handy to uso whero only a few
trees aro to be sprayed, but on n. com
mercial scalo bordeaux would bo moro
satisfactory and less expensive
Missouri orchurdlsts aro advised to
spray their applo trees at least three
times; before blooming, Immediately
after blooming, and ton days to two
weeks later. For tho first spray uso
lime sulphur 3 gallons to 100 gallons
of water or, bordeaux 6-C-100 (C
pounds copper sulphate, C pounds
fresh limo, 100 gallons wator); sec
ond spray, llmo sulphur 3-100, plus 5
pounds arsonato o." load paste; third,
samo as second, or bordeaux C-C-100,
plus 5 pounds nraonnto of lead paste.
Whero blttor rot Is bad, ono or two
more applications may havo to be
made with cither llmo sulphur or
bordeaux.
FEDERAL AID FOR HIGHWAYS
0ubllc Sentiment Is Strong for Law to
Authorize Government Help In
Road Improvement.
Public sentiment throughout tho
United States Is overwhelmingly In fu
ror of federal aid In highway Improve
ment, as, Bhown in tho report recently
uiado to congress by the joint commit
too on federal aid. It la no longer a
lueatlon of tho desirability of n na
tional law providing for such govern
mental help in creating u national sys
tern of good roads, nor of tho constitu
tionality of such an act, but of de
eding upon a mcasuro tho provisions
of which shall bo framed bo carefully
that when enacted into lnw It will bo
bo equltablo and effective that it will
remain practically unchanged for
many years and bo u credit to tho
:ongrcss that enacts it.
In Its report tho commltteo gives
many reasons for recommending na
tlonnl participation in tho good roads
movement and clearly indicates tliTit

no doubt exists in tho minds of tho
members that a federal aid law Boon
will bo passed, although members did
not agree upon any particular plan or
bill to bo presented to congress.
Federal aid Is justified not only be
cause past methods, Including stato
participation in road building, havo
proved Inadequate, but becauso the ac
tivity of the government would em
phasize tho importance of better roads,
establish higher standards, and to
some extent shift the burden of ex
penso from tho rural resident to the
city dweller.
Although under federal aid city resi
dents would contrlbuto two-thirds ot
tho money to be expended, and all
would bo spent on rurnl roads outsido
ot incorporated cities and villages, no
opposition has been heard to It on
the ground that it would place an un
just burdon on tho city resident, who,
whilo only Indirectly benefited, upprc
elates the value of good roads to the
community and the benefits that all
will enjoy.
WORK OF MAINTAINING ROADS
People In Many States Spending Much
Money for Improvement, but
Overlook Needed Care.
Too much stress cannot bo laid upon
tho Importance of maintenance in con
nectlon with tho work of improving
tho roads. Tho people in nearly all
tho states aro filled with enthusiasm
for road improvement and aro spend
ing enormous Bums of money in the
construction of superb roads; and yet
almost -without exception they are
making Httlo provision to caro for the
roads after they are built. This h
true not only in tho various counties
hut under many of our stato highway
dopartmcnts.
To maintain tho roads In good con
dltlon year after year requires a con
sidcrablo annual outlay, but this out
lay is Infinitely less than tho loss which
must fall upon tho pooplo oventually
if they allow their roada to go to utter
ruin. The thing for all advocates of
good roads to do is to urge continuous,
systematic maintenance and tho set
ting nsido every year of an amount pet
mllo estimated by tho engineer in
charge to bo sufficient for the proper
maintenance of the road a course
which must inako for economy and
olllcloncy.

The Newest Discovery in Chemistry
This Is a recent discovery of Dr.

Hotel and Surgical Institute at Buffalo,
N. Y. Experiments at Dr. Plorco's
Hospital for Boveral years proved that
thero is no other eliminator of uric
acid that can bo compared to It. For
thoso easily recognized symptomB of
inflammation as backacho, scalding
urine and frequent urination, as woll
as scdimont In tho urino, or If uric
