and one for smaller rifles.
The following rules and regulations
will govern the contests:

trict at publicly advertised prelimi-
nary matches under the direction of
the chairman of the committee on
Game in the District. The teams must
be chosen some time prior to the final
match. The rules governing prelimi-
nary contests shall be determined by
the chairman on Game for each Dis-
trict.
3. Preliminary contests are open
to all bona fide residents of the Con-
servation Districts above eighteen
years of age.
4. Both in the preliminary and the :
final matches, an entrance fee of ten
cents will be required of each compet-

Conduct on the Range: 1. No
competitor may go in front of the fir-
ing line, while the shooting is in pro-
gress, under any pretext whatsoever.
2. No competitor may load a rifle
Le
anywhere but on the firing points.
3. When on the firing line, the
muzzle of the rifle must be kept point-
ed in the direction of the targets.

three rules will disqualify the offend-
ing competitor. No appeal will be al-
lowed.
Rifle: Any single loading or re-

the United States, if moving in single

—The State College of Forestry at
Syracuse urges New York farmers
not to take up the growing of hardy
catalpa except as an experiment. Ex-
perience with this tree does not seem
to promise success with it in that
State.
—Because of the low price of eggs,
one should now consider putting them
down for winter use. Lime water or
water glass make excellent preserva-
tives. Full directions may be obtain-
ed by writing to the Agricultural Ex-
periment Station, State College, Pa.

A SMALL ANIMAL THAT HAS NO
| LEGS.
Most of us think of an animal as
| something that has four legs and can
! walk, run, and skip about, and by a
squirrel, or mouse. But I am going
to tell you about one smaller than any
of these, which hasn’t any legs that
we can see, and so stays in one place,
in fact he really cannot move about
for very early in his life he is fasten-
ed to a rock or to something firm in
zine. He does not live all by himself,
either, but a number of his family or
“colony” live together, yet each one
has his own “room” to himself. He is
called a sponge.
You know the small, soft sponge
that you sometimes use in your bath,
and the larger, soft sponge that is
in which a group or “colony” of these
little animals once lived. The little
animal is very soft and pulpy, like a
bit of jelly. His food and nourish-
ment are brought right to him by the
| water which flows over him. Men in
| rubber and canvas suits—called divers

the water rolls him around and

get covered up in the sand, for he
does not attach himself to anything
else when once he is torn free.
After a diver has brought a sponge
out of the salt water into a boat, if
rain or fresh water falls on it the
sponge—the animal part of the
sponge—will die. But if no fresh

range officer.
Ammunition: Any kind; to be fur-
nished by the competitor.
Sights: Any ordinary hunting sights
may be used provided they do not
contain glass. Sights may be attach-
ed to any part of the rifle.
Positions: The standing off-hand
position will be used. There shall be
no artificial support to the rifle. This
regulation prohibits the use of the
sling strap.
Distance: 50 yards.
Targets: Standard 50 yard outdoor
targets will be used. These targets
are of the 10 ring variety. The 8, 9,
and 10 circles form a black bullseye
3 inches in diameter. Targets for the
preliminary matches may be obtained
from J. R. Miller, Millheim, Pa.
Shooting: Each competitor will
shoot one string of ten shots within a
time limit of 10 minutes.
Scoring: 1. The value of a hit will
be determined by the edge of the shot
hole nearest to the centre of the tar-
get.
2. When a target has more hits
than the specified number of shots
(10) in the string, hits in excess shall
be deducted from those of the highest
value.
3. When a target has less than the
specified number of shots in the
string, the competitor shall be deemed
to have missed.
4. In the final contests the range
officer, who shall be appointed by J.
R. Miller, Millheim, Pa., the chairman
of the county committee on Game,
shall have charge of the scoring. He
will appoint the necessary assistants.
No appeal from his decision will be
allowed.
Ties: 1. In case of a tie bteween
two or more teams the tie will be shot
off by the teams in question. The
scores resulting from the shoot-off
will be the recorded scores of the
matches.
2. In case of a tie between indi-
viduals the tie will be shot off by the
teams in question. The scores, in this
case, resulting from the shoot-offs
will not count for the team to which
the individual belongs.
Defective Rifles and Ammunition:
1. In case a rifle breaks or jams in
competition, the competitor may fin-
ish his string with another rifle, but
no extension of the time limit will be
allowed.
2. A misfire that is immediately
reported to the range officer may be
corrected by another shot. No exten-
sion of the time limit will be allowed.
In these competitions the teams
making the highest score in each
event will be declared the winning
teams. The competitors making the
highest individual scores will be de-
clared the winners of the matches.
Prizes will be given to the winning
teams, and to the competitors making
the highest individual score.
Jap Representatives to Visit the Unit-
ed States.
A large delegation from the Japan-
ese House of Representatives is plan-
ning to visit the United States about
next August or September. }
The project was suggested at the
time of the visit to Japan of American
Congressmen last year, when the
Americans expressed their wish for a
return visit of Japanese parliamen-
tarians.

—Entomologists advise that it is!
not necessary to use para-dichloroben-
zene as a remedy for peach borers be-
fore the middle of August. The meth- |
od has been proved successful and is |
recommended as a control measure. |
It is a very simple and inexpensive |
process. Your county agent will give |
information as to procedure.
—Better pay an experienced pruner
$10 a day to prune the orchard than |
to have the work done by men who
have never learned the science or ac-
quired the practice of tree pruning.
Much damage is done in many orch-
ards every year by inexperienced pru-
ners who cut and slash the limbs with-
out knowing how to do the work. i
—In addition to the insect pests that
may be controlled at this time by us-
ing arsenate of lead or nicotine sul-
phate in the usual apple sprays, the
lime-sulphur will control scab and
prevent a greater loss than will be
caused by the March freeze. State
College pathologists and entomolo-
gists repeat their warning that spray-
ing should be continued as usual.
—Small fruits, especially berries,
paid the growers large profits the past |
season. The developing of jam-mak- |
ing and fruit flavor industry is going
to make a steady increasing demand !
for small fruits, and the man with a |
small place who likes to grow straw-
berries, raspberries and other bush ;
fruits will make no mistake if he en- |
ters more largely into the planting
and growing of these fruits.
—Young chicks thrive best on sour
milk. It is a good practice not to give |
the chicks any water to drink during |
the mornings until they are about ten |
weeks old, provided they are given all
the milk they will consume. It is not
good to alternate sweet and sour milk |
as chick feed. Omit meat scraps from |
the chick ration until they are three |
or four weeks old. At about six
weeks the chick feed may be gradual- |
ly replaced by hen scratch grain.
—In less than a month it will be
time to plant corn. No use to plant!
until the soil is fairly warm so that
the seed will germinate. If corn lies
in a cold wet soil for a week without
sprouting it is likely to rot and never |
produce plants. Take advantage of |
rainy days to shell and grade seed
corn ready for the planter. Remove |
the irregular butt and tip kernels be- |
fore shelling. These will not go |
through the dropping device of the
planter with uniformity. |
—The burning of straw, even’
though the ashes leave a small quan-
tity of additional mineral matter in
the soil, results in an almost total loss. |
It is practiced most largely in the
West, mainly because of custom rath- |
er than inability to purchase, feed or
market meat-producing animals. Many
people there have come to believe that
straw is of no value and in that sec-
tion large quantities are allowed to
waste. In some of the western States
a campaign has been made by the col-
leges of agriculture and extension
workers to get farmers to use a por-
tion of their waste straw for spread-
ing over their grain fields.
—Garden tools are again in vigor-
ous action throughout Pennsylvania,
for it is time to get most of the ordi-
nary garden seeds into the ground.
Cabbage plants are ready for the field
and tomato plants should be ready to
transplant from hotbeds to cold
frame; carrots, lettuce, endive, kale,
kohlrabi, onion sets, parsley, parsnips,
peas, radishes, rhubarb roots, salsify,
spinach, Swiss chard and turnips can
be planted at any time now that the
ground can be prepared. Recent rains
have held up garden making in Cen-
tral Pennsylvania, and such work
should be rushed now with all possi-
ble speed. Extension Circular 583,
“The Backyard Garden,” tells what
and when to plant in the home garden

each piece to a cement disc with lead
wire, plant it down on the bottom
where he found it, and it will grow
and increase just as if it had not been
disturbed.
There are many kinds of sponges,
but these that I have been telling you
about are called sheepswool and are
the best ones to be found in this coun-
try. They grow and make their home
off the west coast of Florida. in the
Gulf of Mexico.
CANCER DEADLIEST OF DIS-
EASES.
Returns of the new federal census
show that cancer still continues to
progress at a steady and alarming
rate. Each year it kills more people
out of every 1000 than before. In the
last twenty years the mortality from
cancer in this country has grown 27
per cent.
On the other hand, the mortality
from typhoid fever, scarlet fever,
other fevers, diphtheria and croup,
| has been cut down by two-thirds since
1900. These are diseases with which
we have learned how to deal effective-
ly. Most of the deaths that now occur
from typhoid are unnecessary, being
due to lack of proper treatment; and
the same may be said of diphtheria,
for which a thoroughly satisfactory
antitoxin is available.
Last year there were about 1,360,000
deaths in the United States. Heart
disease, with a mortality of 140,000,
led the list.
die of heart disease than of tubercu-
losis, which until recently destroyed
more lives than any other malady.
Pneumonia claimed 181,500 victims,
Bright's disease 93,500 and cancer 85,-
500. Nearly as many people died from
cerebral hemorrhage as from cancer.
These figures are approximate. The
reason why they are larger than the
census figures is that the latter cover
only what is called the “registration
area,” representing 81 per cent of the
total population.
Heart disease causes 8% per cent of

thorities are inclined to attribute its
increased rate to the speed at which
we live.
For the information of parents who
recklessly expose their children to
whooping cough, regarding it as a
harmless affliction of childhood, it is
worth mentioning that this complaint
caused about 19,000 deaths in the
United States last year.
