Wisconsin Orchards Are Suffering From an Epidemic. One of the worst epidemics of fire blight that ever visited Wisconsin is gaining headway throughout many sections of the state this season, ac- cording to J. G. Moore, horticulturist at the University of Wisconsin College of Agriculture. The presence of the disease is first indicated by the dying back of the leaves, which turn reddish or dark brown, while the bark is shrunken and shriveled. Iu many eases if the bark at the lowest portion of the infected area is pee/ed off the disease will be found extending internelly far below• the point where its presence is made known at the surface. In this manner it makes rapicl but insidious headway before the true extent of its damage is realized. Different varieties of apples vary- in their susceptibility to fire blight. In Wisconsin the Yellow Transparent, Wealthy, Tetefsity and Transcendent Crab are most seriously affected. The disease is caused by bacteria which gain entrance to the plant tis- sues through the flowers or by meens of wounds on the surface, particularly those made by insects. The method of the development of the disease is such that spraying cannot control it. The only way of fighting the trouble is the removal of infected parts. These are nsually removed once or twice during the season -once in sum- mer and again in the fall before the leaves are frosted. Mr. Moore states that it is not advisable to leave the infected parts on the trees until the annual spring pruning, as it is then difficult to detect all infected twigs, In cutting out the blight it is advisable to go at least four to six inches below any signs of the disease and burn all parts removed. Blight canker or fire blight starting lu small twigs and buds, causing the death of tissues at the base of such points, may be removed with the prun- ing knife. In removing dead tissues it is well to dip the pruning knife in strong formalin or corrosive sublimate solution in order not to spread the dis- ease to other trees. Wounds caused by cutting out blight canker may he disinfected with formalin and the surto face painted with white lead. A Hedge Trimmer. Hedge cutting or trimming with a sickle or with hand snips is very slow and tedious work. Here is a trimmer TRIMMER 'WITH SHVERAI, =Ms. with several sets of blades similar to a regular trimmer. The blades are at. tached to it wood handle and operated with a wood lever, as shown In the sketch. The operation is the same as when using the regular hedge trinamer, -Popular Mechanics. • SOME HORSE SENSE. ..... Don't neglect to. commence feeding the colts some grain before they are weaned.

S soon es the first shock of the European war was over. - . manufacturers and merchants in United States be- - awl to ask themselves: "Is it a WORLD calamity? Cann.t °WE get something in the way of benefit to make up for the trouble it will cause?" 1 his is a question the peoi,)le of Canada might well ask themselves, ' The people of United States are awake already to the fact that many of the necessities of life --yea, and luxuries -- that were formerly supplied by Continental Europe must now he preduccd in the factories of United States, Already there are indications that the war spells. almost feverish activity in many lines of business in United States. This is a time for the manufacturers of Canada to buckle down to work and make and sell right here at home many of the things the people of Canada have formerly imported frcm Continental Europe. And the manufacturers of Canada can count upon the people of Canada to respond to their efforts in the direction. Canadian patriotism is on fire: Canadians never realized un- til now how deeply they believe in themselves ---how strong is their faith in England, in the Empire, in Canada. Now is the time for Canadians to APPLY that abiding faith ---to carry it into the BUSINESS of life, This much is certain: Most of what we eat, wear and use for months to come—perhaps for years—must be pro- &i,teed on this continent of North America. Many Ganaclian Manufacturers -already awake to their opportunity—are arranging to get machinery in motion to supply Canadians with those articles they have formerly imported ---the dresses, millinery and perfumes from France: the silverware. enamelware and countless other articles from - Germany; the parasols from Austria; the laces and watches from Switzerland. Soon Canadian manufacturers will begin to tell the people of Canada that THEY ---our own manufacturers --- have these things for them; soon the merchants of Canada will announce that they are well stocked with these goods --- of home manufacture. These, announcements will come to the people of Canada in the form of advertisements in the newspapers. Watch for these advertisements and when they appear read them and respond to them. It is a duty the people of Canada owe' to their country, their industries, and themselves. IMPORTANT TO MANUFACTURERS AND MERCHANTS If you are in doubt about how to word your announce- ment, or if you wish advice of any kind, get in touch wlth the business manager of the Times. WAS BOTHERED WITH BILIOUSNESS AND SOUR STOMACH FOR .20 YEARS Sour Stomach and Biliousness are caused by a sluggish Liver, for when it is not working properly, it holds back the bile, which is so essential to promote the movement of the bowels, and the bile gets into the blood instead of passing through the usual channel, thus causing many stomach and bowel troebles. Mr. Charles Pettit, 250 Richmond Street, London, Ont., writes: -"I feel it my duty to write you a few lines in regard to your Milburit's Laza-Liver Pills. I have been bothered with Biliousness and Sour Stomach for twenty years until a year ago I started to use Laxa-Liver Pills, and I have not been bothered since, I wish to let it be known . to all those who suffer as I did," Milburn's I.,axa-Iever Pills are 25 cents per vial or 5 vials for $1,00.

The three bade hire wait, and within a few min- utes one returned and handed him a pawn ticket. "We wanted 00, not the coat," he explained. "Here is the ticket with which you an redeem it for that sum." -Loudon Mail. oL.VelaSt.91212MMAISIIMMIP" "For God's Sake, Let Me Stay!"

The Legs In Swimming. The correct stroke ot tbe legs is ex- actly like that of a frog's hind legs. Watcb one of these frogs and copy his style. You cannot do better, Tbe legs are drawn up together slowly, not with a jerk, until they are gathered in close under the body. Tben with a sudden, quick spring they are shot out bobbed; the ankles being turned so that the Soles of the feet present as flat a sur- face as possible to the water and so offer more resistance from which to make progress. As the kick is made the legs should be spread out in thei shape of a letter V, but not allowed to sink far down under tbe surface of the water. If they kick downward at an angle instead of out straight be- hind much of their energy is wasted unnecessarily forcing the body out of the water instead of forward.
