Higher Education in Egypt. , Egypt has 26 schools of higher edu- cation, technical and agricultural, ana 4,000 students are enrolled. The apple crop is making more money than any other farm crop if properly grown and marketed, accord ing to J. C. W h itten of the Missouri College of Agriculture. Many men are making little or nothing out of it be cause of their failure to prune, spray and care for their trees. Such men have been complaining that they could not sell their apples, and enormous quantities certainly were wasted in Missouri orchards last fall. At the same time, the growers who <had prop erly managed their orchards, graded their fruit and put it into cold storage for higher prices later in the winter are making money out of their crops. If the orchards are not well managed, so much of the fruit is/sm all, scabby, wormy or otherwise so unfit for stor age that a satisfactory price cannot he secured for it; so it is dumped on the m arket in poor shape for Immediate use and in worse shape for storage. Such fruit spoils the m a rket tem p orar ily, but is quickly consumed or lost, and even this soon after Christmas we are paying high prices again for good apples. The value of careful spraying is well shown by a test in which the college co-operated with 25 orchardists and sprayed each orchard four times a year at a cost of $22.26 an acre. The D r.

He proceeds to give some brief simple directions for getting good results by w h at he calls renovation pruning of apple trees. Most of the Missouri orchards a re certainly in need of a thorough renovation. Avoid the common practice of cut ting off all the branches easily Twelve-Year-Old Apple Tree Before Pruning. fruit on the unsprayed trees sold for $18.05 an acre, while that on the s p r a y e d tre e s sold for $187.19 an acre, or more than ten times as much, mak ing the average net profit from spray ing $136.78 an acre, or about 600 per cent on the investment. Pruning may be made to show equal ly good results, hut both pruning and spraying is necessary. F. W. Faurot PREVENTIVES SAVE MANY FRUIT TREES Number of Schemes Have Been Tested Out by Experiment Stations and Growers. (By C. C. VINCENT, Idaho Experimental S ta t io n .) The damage caused by rabbits each year during the past few years has be come more and more pronounced. In most of our highly developed fruit sec tions the growers have found that it is a v e r y e a s y m a tter to prevent rabbits from injuring the trees. In most all cases the damage is due to neglect rather than a lack of efficient remedy. A number of preventives that have been tried out by practical growers and experiment stations are given be low: Poisoned bait has been used very effectively in many sections by placing it where the rabbits can get it. A for mula consisting of one part strychnine, one-third part borax, one part white sirup, ten parts water, recommended by the Ohio experiment station, has given good satisfaction. This mixture is applied to the tender twigs which are distributed around the base of the tree. Tree protectors are also used by many growers. Strips of wire window screening IS to 24 inches long and 9 to 12 inches wide are used frequent ly. These strips are wrapped around the base of the tree in the form of tubes with the lower end pressed into the ground. A woven wire fence is desirable where the planting is large enough to justify the expense. Wooden veneer strips, having about the same dimen sions as the wiring screening, have also been recommended. W ashes of various kinds are also used quite extensively by our. growers. H e a\T rains,, however, wash them off occasionally, which makes it necessary to repeat the application. A taint of any kind on the trunk of the tree will keep the rabbltSs from injuring It. Hog Same Tree After Pruning. reached from the ground, and leaving the tree looking like a large feather duster. Begin at the top and thin out branches which shade the center of the tree too much. If the tops are too high, lower them moderately and grad ually so as not to disturb the balance between top and roots. If the root system has been developed to take care of a large top and much of this is suddenly removed, the roots will send up so much more m aterial than the remaining top can use that there will he a big grov/th of w a ter sprouts. Most people remove too little instead of too much of the top, hut it is often necessary to distribute the work over two years and sometimes over three years. Trees planted too thickly may need thinning, hut if the branches of neigh boring trees overlap, the level ones may be cut back to some upright branch. Always prune close to the trunk or main branch, and never leave a stub to carry decay into the tree. Paint all cut surfaces with white lead and raw oil. Cut out blister canker completely, and disinfect the pruning tools in a mixture of corrosive subli m ate in a thousand parts of water, or disease may be carried from tree to tree throughout the orchard. intestines, cheap m eat products, etc., rubbed on the trees, will give good re sults. The lime-sulphur wash recom mended by the United States depart m ent of a g r i c u l t u r e has given co n s id erable satisfaction. The wash consists of: Unslaked lime, 20 pounds; flowers of sulphur, 15 pounds; water, 50 gal lons. The lime, sulphur and one-third of the w a ter are boiled together for one hour and then the rest of the water added. By adding salt the wash will stick better. PRACTICAL ‘‘DONTS” FOR BEST SPRAYING Orchardist Must Not Expect Profitable Results If Work Is Not Thoroughly Done. Don’t expect results if the work is not thoroughly done. Don’t think a week earlier or later than the date recommended is just as Don’t overspray. A continuous even coating should be left on the fruit and foliage; any m aterial which runs off does no good. Don’t think that lime-sulphur will control apple blotch as well as bor- d e a u x m i x t u r e . Don’t apply hordeaux mixiture dur ing wet w eather; it is liable to russet the fruit. Don’t try to get along with a ma chine which is worn out or too small to do good work; if the work is worth doing it is worth doing well. Don’t fail to clean the machine thoroughly after each spraying; it saves much trouble when the tim e comes for the next application. Don’t think th a t spraying alone will Insure good fruit; pruning and culti vation are equally essential. Don’t think that spraying will pay unless the fruit is well m arketed; spraying is only part of the battle. Don’t fail to apply to your state ex perim ent station when in spraying troubles. While It Kills Some, It Transforms Others Into Creatures of a Different Species. If sunlight destroys bacteria, it is also the active agent in multiplying their species. Such, a t least, is the obvious deduction which science is drawing from a recent experiment of Mme. Victor Henry, and it is one that opens up an entirely new field to the bacteriologists. She had occasion recently to ex pose some germs of anthrax to the r a y s fro m a m e r c u r y v a p o r lam p . A s she expected, the treatm e n t proved fatal to most of the subject, but a few of them survived. The astonishing feature in the case was that the survivors had undergone a radical transformation. They were no longer thin and threadlike. They had become spherical, or nearly so, true cocci, in fact. At the same time, they were radically different from all known spores. W h at is more, upon cultivation they did not return to their original form, and when injected into animals pro duced an entirely new disease. Mme. Henry is forced to the conclu sion th a t she has developed an entire ly new bacterial family, and reasoning from her experience believes that she has hit upon the means by which such families have multiplied. It is her opinion that after long exposure to sunlight, a germ, if not destroyed, un dergoes a radical change in form and nature, thus becoming the root of an entirely new species. ARE USING ROMAN WEAPONS Soldiers o f Today;^ Employ Almost a Duplicate of Sword Used by Caesar's Legionaries. If one of Caesar’s legionaries who fell'in the “pacification” of Gaul could be \waked from bis long sleep and placed in the trenches, he would find one or two familiar things, even if he failed to recognize the landscape. The appalling racket, the bursting shells, the spectacle of men struck down by invisible agencies of death— these would be new and awesome. But the helmet would have a rather famil iar feeling on his brows, and if he took part in a charge he would show himself a most efficient man with the “trench knife.” ^ For, this new weapon is just the old Roman b r o a d s w o r d rev i v e d and brought down to date. The blade is a bit shorter than th a t to which the le^onary was accustomed—15 inches instead of 18. But the point and edge are keen, the steel is good, the hilt is plain, and the injunction to “thrust at the face” is as sound as ever. W ith this accustomed weapon in his grip and a cloak over his arm in lieu of shield, Caius of the Tenth legion would he a nasty warrior to meet on the chalk knolls of Champagne. To Reform Thermometer. A sign of progress is a hill intro duced by a Pacific coast representa* tive to substitute the Centigrade for the Fahrenheit thermometer in gov ernment publications. When Gabriel Daniel Fahrenheit nearly 200 years ago devised the scale which bears his name 32 degrees below the freezing point was the lowest tem p erature he knew, so he called it zero. But his graduation has been displaced in tho scientific world almost as completely as his idea of the extreme of cold. Scientists everywhere use the Centi grade scale, and the Fahrenheit is in popular use in English-speaking countries only. The Centigrade therm om eter is graduated in a sim p le and rational way, the freezing point being marked zero and the boiling point 100. The movement for reform of the thermom eter ought to go hand-in-hand with the propaganda for universal adoption of the metric system of weights and measures and for uniform decimal re lations of coinage In all nations.— Newark Evening News. His Shaves Stopped Alimony. Unable, he claims, to pay the ali mony awarded his wife because of ex penses attached to daily shaves, at tending the m o v ie s nightly and other more or less princely luxuries, George Lawson was arrested by Detective Barnshaw on a bench w a rrant issued by Vice Chancellor Learning and sent to the county jail on contempt pro ceedings. When his wife b rought action for di vorce some tim e ago Lawson strenu ously objected ta the amount of ali mony imposed by the vice chancellor, declaring that he was unable to pay, as he required the m inistrations of a barber daily and a seat at the movies to settle his nerves after a day of toil. The Yic© chancellor told him to buy a safety razor and drop the show pas sion.—^Atlantic City dispatch Philadel phia Record. D e c o r a ti o n s fo r W o m e n . Foreign countries are most prodigal of feminine decorations. There are in all some tw enty foreign orders, and it is said th a t Spain was the first coun try to honor the gentler sex by includ ing them in orders of chivalry. The Legion of Honor, which has been pinned to not a few feminine breasts in the present war, the Russian Order of St. Catherine and the Austrian Star Cross are a few of the greater orders which can be accorded to women. In no country does the decoration be stowed on a woman carry any title, as in the case of a masculine knight hood, but in several countries certain female decorations bestow a sort of status equivalent to rank in the army. ‘Wcman*d 9rcbkm How to Fee!
