giving it a wrinkled, thick appear- tini®s much?
ance. The leaves have a yellowis-n
appearance with a tinge of red. This
disease can be controlled by one ap
plication of lime sulphur put on as
dormant spray in early spring just
before the buds begin to swell. The
strength to use should be one gallon
of lime sulphur to fifteen gallons of
water. Nothing can be done now to
stop the ravages of this disease this
year but you had better get your
spray material ready and be pre
pared to fight it next spring. Sum
mer spraying for this disease is dan
gerous -and useless. You will burn
your fruit and damage your tress if
you apply this mixture now. Be
ready next year.
A very serious disease of the plum
this year is the disease known as
plum pocket, a disease very similar
to peach leaf curl. The plums become
enlarged and wrinkled, with' a hol
low center. The color is yellowish
or reddish. Pruning and spraying
with the dormant spray same as for
peaches and at the same time of
year followed by a second spray just
when the blossoms fall with a lime
sulphur solution same as for apples
will be found very effective. It is as*
stated above impossible to do any
thing* with either of these diseases
tftis year now but steps may be taken
to prepare for next year's ravages
which will be sure to follow. It is
with deep regrets that we have not
been able to secure material for
spraying in time for dormant and
first spray this year but owing to
the switchmen's strike all freight
was tied up until it did not arrive
on time. Hope this may be avoided
next year. Another disease that is
very prevalent this year is the early
blight of potatoes, which causes the
tips and edges of the leaves to
wither and dry up or curl up. This
may be controlled by applying bor
deaux mixture composed of four
pounds of unslaeked lime, four
pounds of blue-vitrol and fifty gal
lons of water. Spray all vines
thoroughly preferably in the late
afternoon while foliage is dry. if you
are bothered with potato bugs use
one pound of paris green or one
pound of lead arsenate powder or
two pounds of lead arsenate paste to
fifty gallons of water. Spray atl
plants throughly with this mixture.
The farm bureau office has a supply
of lead arsenate which can be had-bvi
members at wholesale priee in smalf to days apart
quantities. Apply in the evening if
possible as it tends to burn the plants
if applied while t{re sun is too hot.
Arrangements are being made to
complete the details of the summer
culling of poultry and all parties
wfshing some of this work done

agent's office at once. A specialist

Paint all roosts with

should be done in pairs one follow

Mites hardly ever stay on the fowls
during the day time so very effective
control measures can be effected ly
treating the hen house and roosts
without disturbing the fowls them
selves in the least.
For poultry lice use the follow
ing:
Three parts of gasoline, one part
of crude carbolic acid or stock dip.
Mix liquids throughly and add as
much ordinary cement or plaster ol
paris as liquids will absorb to make
a cruinily mass. Spread out and
allow gasoline to evaporate. This
will give you as much lice powder
for 25 /*ents and as good as you can
buy for ?10.00 in patent medicine
form. In fact it is one of their own
receipts. The application of the lice
powder should be made in pairs 10

what was left of the auto. This was

S. 1. Weat and -lack West of Weldon,
a grandson who was visiting at the
West home. The sheriff knew that
the brakes on the car were badly
worn but did not inform .Mabel of
the fact, thinking that she knew it,
us she had driven the tar before.
When they reached Squaw Creek
hill about six miles north of Osceola
and started down the incline, .Mabel
tried to throw tho gears from high
into low, letting the engine do the
holding, but. missed and got into
neutral and as the "brakes would
not work, the car became un
manageable and went wild down the
hill at a terrific rale, crashing into
the iron bsfcister on the cement
bridge below, the ear and occupants
going on off of the side of tho bridge
into the mud and slime of tho creel:
beneath. Jesse Schaffer happened
along at the time and picked up the
occupants and brought them to town.
They were a bruised up, scratched
up and bloody looking bunch as they
had received some pretty bad looking
gashes, as the car turned over several
times and threw them clear of the
auto except .Mabel who stayad with
the wheel. ..Mrs. West was uncon
scious when found and did not re
gain herself until about o'clock in
the evening, and ft is not yet known
how critical she might be injured,

place in the road where the mix up
happened. Three doctors were call
ed to the West home where they ad
ministered surgical and medical re

The Electric Shop is in possession
of some specimens of the phenomen
al action of the lightning last Tues
day morning. About three and one
half miles south of Grand River tho
lightning struck and severed one o!
the wires the two ends falling to th
8:r«und on the edge of a field. The
strong current continued to pass froii'
one end to the other through tlir
black mud of the field, and when the
spot was reached the next day the
mud through which the current pass
ed was entirely petrified. The stones
thus formed are hard and where the
wires touched are smooth and glassy.
The heat must have been very intense
indeed tp do such quick work. Had
not til© cj(u8e been known, it might
be supnosed to be the work of ages.

they were best. But one day a neighbor convinced me I was
c!l wron^. He told me Western Rox-Salt-Blox were realiy
the best blocks produced, because they were 98% pure salt.
He said, 'Put it up to the animals themselves. Let 'em have
their choice of "white salt or gray rock salt. Being guided only
by instinct, and not by selling talks, they will choose the salt
