G. Bressler, deputy secretary of agriculture. The exhibit is being shown for the first time this year at the Cambria County Industrial Exposition at Ebensburg this week. Almost 300 square feet of space is covered by the display. The exhibit is the most attractive that has ever been arranged by the department. It shows in an unusually comprehensive way many of the im- portant lines of work conducted by the Commowealth in the interest of the farmer. The Japanese beetle and the Euro- pean corn borer, two of the most de- structive insect pests that have ever been introduced into the Common wealth, are shown along with samples of the damage they do. An enlarged colored drawing of an adult Japanese beetle along with charts on life his- tory and mounts of actual specimens °Sunday services at the M. E. Church Sunday, July 7, will be as follows: Sunday school at 10 a. m., church ser- vice at 11 a. m. Rev. Cornell will preach. Everybody welcome. The Ladies’ Bible Class served a chicken dinner July 4th in the Loyal- ville M. E. Church hall. There were amusements of all kinds including a ball game in the afternoon and a cafe- teria supper at 6 o'clock. A drama followed at 8 o’clock. A number of people from this place attended the airport opening at Wyo- ming. Alice Booth and Chris Payne spent a day recently at Wilkes-Barre. are presented. The way the corn borer spends its life and the extensive damage it can do to the corn crop unless controlled are shown. A large map with electric lights flashing shows how the insect has spread from the extreme north- western corner of the State to more than forty counties in nine years. The most popular feature of the ex- hibit, naturally, is the mechanical man which takes hold of an egg, lifts it into the air and drops it into a packing case. The value of grading eggs and placing them in well constructed crates with good packing material is thus demonstrated. Bovine infectious. abortion is fea- tured in the animal section of the exhibit. Enlarged, colored photo- graphs show several Pennsylvania herds which have been free of this disease for a number of years. Charts show the heavy tolls exacted from the livestock industry by the disease. One chart shows the net profit from a herd of twenty-five cows which is abortion-free and another chart shows the loss in a herd of similar size but infected with the abortion disease. —(—— A steer’s capacity for feed decreases as he gets fat. Toward the end of the feeding period the proportion of con- centrated feed should be increased and the roughages reduced. Alfalfa and sweet clover make good supplementary pasture for the dairy herd when the regular pastures are short. These two crops furnish large amounts of protein and lime. —— Work the horse at his normal gait in the field. He can not vyrork effi- ciently above his normal ga t for any great length of time, even though he is pulling a light load. —(— Silage will not keep well unless the walls of the silo are airtight. With concrete silos a wash on the inside of raw coal tar thinned with gasoline makes the walls air tight. Lumber for wooden silos should be well matched and contain no large knots. : Ops If the colt becomes accustomed to having his feet handled and trimmed before he is weaned, much future work and trouble will be avoided. Untrim- med hoofs usually grow long and un- even, and the result may be a crooked foot, or, what is worse, a crooked leg. Failure to rggulate the length and bearing surface of the foot may make a straight leg crooked, while good care of the foot during the growing period will greatly improve a leg that is crooked at birth —Q— 3 Alfalfa straw that is left from threshing a seed crop is considered worth one-third to one-half as much as the hay for feeding purposes. If a seed crop is harvested as soon as most of the seed pods are mature, and while the plants still have many of their green leaves, the straw is of higher feeding value than when the plants are left until the pods are entirely ripe and the leaves have fallen. ——— Small farms in a high state of cul- tivation, where large quantities of feed are produced, may he stocked with breeding cows to a maximum carrying capacity and the calves disposed of at weaning time or fattened as baby beef to advantage. In this way practically no other cattle than the breeding herd are maintained, and less feed and pas- turage are needed than when" the calves are carried over as stockers and feeders. —_—0— Buying a good bull is the first step in growing beef calves at less cost per pound. In common or native-cow herds, calves sired by pure bred bulls average 125 pounds a head more when one year old than calves of the same age sired by average scrub bulls, and they sell for about 2 cents wa pound more as stockers and feeders, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Two- vear-old steers sired by good pure bred bulls weigh, on the average, about 200 pcunds more a head than steers sired by scrub bulls and sell for considerably more.

Spray- ing will not control vius diseases. Curling, crinkling, mottling or yellow- ing of leaves, dwarfing of leaves and canes, and partial death of the plants are symptoms of the disease. Keep Young Stock Inside—Spring calves will do better if not turned on pasture at all during the summer. Keep them in clean, well-ventilated quarters. Feed milk or milk substi- tute with good quality hay and some green feeds. Pick Breeding Birds—Selection of cockerels for breeding should begin at the broiler age. By saving twice as many cockerels as will be needed, fur- ther selection can be made as the birds develop. Often the mistake is made of selling all of the early cockerels for broilers, while the breeding birds are chosen from late hatches. This results usually in breeding cockerels of small size when mature. Control Peach Diseases—To control brown rot and scab of peaches, spray with self-boiled lime sulphur of the 16-16-100 formula. Champion, Car- men and Rochester are the most susceptible varieties. Apply sprays about one month before the fruit be- gins to ripen. Be sure a fine mist covers all fruit and leaves. Large drops of spray tend to spot the fruit, Prune Raspberries__When the young shoots of black raspberries are about 18 inches long their tops should be pinched off to force development of the lateral buds into branched canes. The bearing surface of next year’s crop will thus be kept closer to the ground and a top-heavy condition will be avoided.

My cheeks will burn with shame. For I did not want you: it meant to me Another baby to rock, you see! So when the family were viewing you, I did not join them, but curtly said: “I've sisters enough,” and went straight to bed. I had been to a Sunday School festival, And my first night out alone. The boys were wonderful to me, And one of them brought me home. Such a grown-up feeling and such a thrill, But not without some fears As to what might happen for havin a beau, To a girl of a dozen years. He squeezed my hand a tiny bit; Said he’d be glad when we both were grown And have no one spying on us ‘When we were out alone.
