Egg-Laying Contests.
Ifeere is sport and profit combined
!n the latest contests that are engaging
the attention of certain parts of Eng-
land where farmers and others have
started egg-laying contests to deter-
mine what class of chickens are the
ttegt layers and what farmer lias the
ftest egg producers. Four hens are se-
lerfed, the test runs from the first of
•tfober to the first of February, a gen-
eroaa period of time in the midst of
winter, when the test has a real mean-
ing. There are cash prizes of generous
•mounts and many people are watch-
ing tfie records as they are made pub-
lic. With eggs at 85 cents per dozen,
as they are In Columbus, hens that
wiU work faithfully during the cold
months of winter are hens worth hav-
ing and the tests might be held here
with as much bf sport and quite as
modi of profit as In England.—Ohio

Jap School Costumes.
A new school costume for three
large schools for girls in Tokyo is re-
ported in a Japan society bulletin. The
freshmen girls will have jackets fash
toned of pink material and skirts of
violet. The second year girls will
wear blue jackets and third-year maid-
ens, in virtue of their greater matur-
ity and advancing wisdom, will be
privileged to have their coats cut from
brown cloth. The Tokyo schools mak-
ing the change are the Girls' Commer-
cial school, the Yamawaki Girls' High
school, and Atom! Girls' High school.

Bridge grafting, the use of scions
or HinalI limbs to connect the cambium
above and below a large wound or
girdled strip, may be practiced suc-
cessfully on almost any kind of fruit
tree that can be propagated readily
by grafting. Trees girdled by mice or
rabbits, suffering from mechanical In-
juries, or from blight or other dis-
ease, can he saved in many cases by
bridge grafting. The method also Is
useful when large areas of bark have
been killed by sun scald and other In-
juries.
Effective Grafting.
To be effective, bridge grafting
should be done in the spring before
growth starts, though sometimes it
can be done after growth starts if
dormant scions for the purpose can
be secured.
Prepare the wound In the tree by
cutting away all dead tissue and thor-
oughly cleansing the injured parts. If
possible, sterilize by'washing with a
solution of bichloride of mercury, cop-
per sulphate, or some otl^er antiseptic.
The Irregular fedges of the bark above
the girdle tract or wound should be'
ciit back IhtO an even edge, far enough
from the wound to make certain that
healthy cambium Is under the bark.
For the grafting, select scioils from
wood of the previous season's growth,
either brooches which grew the pre-
ceding season or water sprouts that
are only a year old. The scions should
be a little longer than the space which
Is to be bridged, so they will arch
slightly over the central part of the
wound.
Bevel the scions at each end on the
same side of the scion with a long
sloping cut so that the wedge-shaped
ends thus fprmed will be relatively
thin and permit their being thrust
well under the bark without danger of
separating It unduly from the cam-
bium at the points of Insertion. The
placing of the scions will be facilitat-
ed if the bnrk at the margins of the
woupd is slit for a short distance at
the points where the ends are to tie
Inserted.
Importance of Uniting Cambium.

ERADICATE BARBERRY
TO SAVE GRAIN CROP
Common Plant Has Long Ca-
reer of Crime Behind It.
IVeed Has Destroyed Billions of Bush-
els of Wheat and Other Grains
in Past—Wheat Is Valuable
^nd Needed.
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
If you saw an anarchist with a blaz-
ing torch in his hand sneaking through
the grass to your ripe wheat field, in-
tending to set it on fire, what would
you do? If you saw several of his
companions In crime sneaking to your
granary with oil and matches, what
would you do? If you saw a mob of
wild-eyed anarchists running amuck
with firebrands and destructive intent,
what would you do? You would shoot
the first, you would shoot as many of
the small group as you could, and you
would call for help to exterminate the
whole breed.
The common barberry is a red-hand-
ed anarchist bush. It has a long ca-
reer of crime behind It. It has a long-
er and more terrible career of crime
before it if we don't put a stop to it.
It has destroyed billions of bushels of
wheat and other grains in the past.
It will destroy billions of bushels In
the future unless we destroy it Den-
mark destroyed the common barberry
and stopped the stem rust. Many
farmers in this country have destroyed
their own bushes and rescued their
crops from ruin by the rust.
The United States department of
agriculture and the grain-growing
states are eradicating the common
barberry. Are you for it or against it?
We cannot save the wheat and keep
the barberry. The wheat is valuable
and needed; give it a chance. The
common barberry is not valuable and
'•an be replaced by the beautiful Jap-
anese barberry.
Wrfte to the department of aprlcui-
ure. Washington. D. C., for <uforma-;
on on how to ao It
greatest Importance that the cambium
of the scions which In exposed in the
sloping cuts at the ends be brought
Into Intimate contact with the cam-
bium that lies under the bark at the
margins of the wounded area. The
union of scion and tree can occur only
where the cambium layers ,of the tw
come together. The scions may be
secured in their proper position
need, be, by driving a small nail
through each end Into the trunk. This
will aid In drawing the cambium of
scion and trunk closely together.
The operation Is completed by thor-
oughly covering the area occupied by
the ends of the scions and the margins
Of'th£ wound with grafting wai, strips
of. waxed cloth, or by some othu
means that adequately will prevent
these parts from drying out. Some
operators cover the entire wound,
scions and all, with melted wax
Where the bridged portion Is below
or near the ground many operators
conserve moisture by cohering the
grafts with earth.
Bridging From the Ground.
Where the wound is so large nt to
make ordinary bridge grafting impos-
sible, another method of bridging may
be used. Two-year-old trees ore
planted about the base of the injured
tree and their tops grafted Into Its
trunk above the girdled spaced whiph
has first been cleaned as in the other
nJethod. As the tops of the small
trees are tort Ihrge to manipulate
readily in the manner described for
scions, V-shaped vertical grooves ex
tending through the cambium are cut
Just ubove the wounded area in the
bark of the tree to ,be treated. The
tops of the small trees are shaped to
Correspond with these grotWes. The
two are then accurately fitted, together
;in such a manner as .to, bring the cam-
bium of one into contact with that of
the othkh Small nails may lie driven
'through the tops of the'trees Into the
trunk, to hold> the pprts firmly togeth-
er. The wounds Incident to joining
the tops of the stnall. trees to the
trunk Of the large one should bt? well
covered with wax, to prevent drying
out. Sometimes cord is tied around
the trunk to alii in holding the tofts
of the young trees in proper position.
CONSERVING VALUABLE SOIL
Each County in Iowa Loses Annually
Six Inches of Soil From Top of
1,700 Acres of Land.
Problem for the class In Intermedi-
ate arithmetic: Find the nupiber of
cubic feet In the top six Inches of soil
from 170,000 acres of land.
That sounds sufficiently unrelated to
common eiperien.ee to be a problem in
the old-time school arithmetic, but, as
a matter of fact, it is what Iowa has
been losing every year In the water
that flows over Its fields. Specialists
of the United States department of ag-
riculture, who have worked in various
sections of Iowa during the past sev-
eral months, estimate that each coun-
ty in Iowa—and there are an even
hundred of them—loses annually six
Inches of soil from the top of 1,700
acres of land. Henceforth, these spe-
cialists think, not so much good soil
will be washed away. The recent high
prices of Iowa farm lands. Injurious
in some particulars, has been benefi-
cial in causing Iowa farmers to realize
that they cannot afford to permit such
valuable stuff as dirt to be carried
away in rain water.
