WINTER BPRAYINO OF FRUIT TBEE8
Lato Feoruury and early March
is the season for winter spraying
of fruit trees, and F. Shernai ,
entomuligi&t of the State Depart
ment of Agriculture, is sending
circulars on the subject to all wh
apply. Over 500 copies have b en
sent out since January 1st, ili
eating a oreditable interest.
The winter spraying is done to
control San Jose Scale or oth-r
Bcale insects, to clean rff rough
bark, and mossy g owths, to kill
scores of tree diseases, and to en
courage a clean healthy growth
when tbe bads open. It shoabv
be given while tho tbe trees are
yet in dormant winter condition,
bat it is better as convienient,
just so it is surely complete be
fore tin buds opsn.
For this spraying use the ready
made iime. sulphur solution, one
gallon mixed with 8 gallons of
water, no other ingredients need-d
for its winter treatment. The
solution can be bought from
Thomson Chemical Company,
Baltimore, Md., or the GrasBtlli
Chemical Company, Birmingham,
Ala., Or from several other firms
li-tei in the circular ment oned.
It costs from 10 to 15 cents per
gallon if bought by the barrel up
to about 60 cents per single gallon.
Ssveial hardware or wholesale
drug firms in the State sell it at
retail.
A few growers still prefer to
make their owu solution by boil
ing 15 lbs . lime ad 15 lbs. sul
phur together and then add water
to make 50 gall, ns but this is
very troublesome and is no longer
considered bst
The circular mentioned also
gives a complete schedule fcr
praying for the whole year, g'VPS
a' 1 needed iireotions for prepar
ing mixtures, addresses of firms
which manufacture spraying out
fits, etc.
Mr. Sherman makes the esti
mate that about 150,000 fruit
trets, or more, in this State, will
be given' this wiuter treatment by
the middle or M.rch. Tbeie
growers are keen meu, and would
net go to this fxpense unl -as con
vinced that it pays.

NT KB ON C TTAGB CHEE'E.
In nib king cottage cheese the
first and m ;et imp r tan t essential
ib good flitter aud th n xfc is the
uniformity of the prcdoot A
good fliv rd cheese can only b)
made from clean fkim miik that
has not beeu allowed to become
too sour.
The home method of octtage
chesemaking consists in placing
curdled milk, either heated or un
hidted iu a chees9 oioth or ootton
bag which is hung up and allowed
to drain until dry This makes
a fairly good dish for the home
table, but tor the markets this
method is uneat sfactory as a good
keeping product with a uniform
texture can not be made in this
way,
To make a good market" cheese
allow th) milk to become sour and
firmly curdled. Break up the
curd and heat to 100 degrees Fah
renheit in ab ut twenty minutes,
stirring occasionally while heat
ing. Let th curd stand in tbe
h t why fcr about fifteen minu
t s. Remove the whey bv pour
lug through a cheese cloth bag,
allowing to drain until no more
appears. Tbe higar the tempera
ture to which 'h- clai-ber is beat,
ed or at. a liko temperature, the
lo ger the curd remains in the
hot whey, the harder and dryer
the cheese will be By regulating
tho time and temperature a cheese
of a desired oonsistenoy can be
made. The ourd should be either
worked thoroughly or run through
a coarse meat chopper. Salt eo
five pounds of curd is a medium
amount. Add either cream or
whole milk at the rate of atout
onehalf pint to five pounds of
curd. Tne softer the cheese the
sooner it will spoil aud sour, "but
it may be kept for several day
iu a cool place. The yield is
about one pouud per gallon of
milk used.
The cheese should be packed in
ueat attractive packages ; a num
ber of styles are in rather general
use, the most popular being the
one-pound siza Kleeo Kap ; Gem
Fibre package, and a water prcsf
paper package used for carrying
ice cream. Jt is well to line these
packagrt with parchment paper;
Cottage cheese should sell at from
8 to 10 onts per pound.
Cottage cheese may be served
without other treatment, but the
quality can ba improved by the
additim of cream. Additional
salt and some pepper are some
times uesd.
Tne food value of a pound of
cheese where no cream is used is
for pound about tbe same as that
of beef steak; wheu veil Boaked
with cream it has a greater food
value. A gallon of Bkim milk has
a feeding value of about three to
four cents. The chese from this
same milk may be sold for 10
cents Why not convert seme of
this milk ibto pin money.

MpioH Issue To Bs Feriral
Advocates of Reasonable Restriction flann
! inff i amnaicrn nf Enliohfonmant
Vaillflliigll III bllllgll'WIIIIIVHI,
Washington, D C. Congress
will soon resume the consideration
of measures to strengthen the im
migration laws of the United
States. The failure by four votes
of the. attempt in the House to
carry the Burnett bill ever the
veto of President Wilson seems to
have enoonraged, rather than dU
oouarged, advocates of more strin
gent provisions to ber out unde
sirable immigrants. The senti
ment in the Senate is bo over
whelmingly in favor of reasonable
restriction, and the majorisy in
the House so considerable that no
difficulty is anticipated to far as
the elected legislators are concern
ed. It is realised, however, that
the opponents of restriction or re
gulation in any practicable form
are so active and so well organized
that popular SbntTment has beep
confused and disturbed in tho con
sideration of a matter which calls
peculiarly for a trained capuoity
to appreciate the great mass of
often bewildering statistical and
scientific data
Friends of reasonable restrict
ion are therefore planning to put
the facts before tbe public. Seme
of these facts, Mr. Burnett, Mr.
Gardner and others say, will
asloniah the great bulk of the
voters wheu they are thoroughly
realized. Even so stanch and suc
cessful an oppcuent of th) liter
acy test as President Wilson con
fessed himself very strongly im
pressed b several of the argu
ments made during the White
House conference in favor of im
portance clauses in the n w tem
porarily killed Burnett bill. - Cue
of these clauses was drawn to
put up the bars ageii st the influx
of alien insane.
Dr Stewart Patton, one of the
highest authorities on insanity
problems in this oountry, declares
that in Massachusetts, Rhode Is
land, New York. New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Maryland there
are confined in public institutions
nearly three-fcurrhs of all the in
sane or mentally defective immi
gration approximately 2 00. COO
insane persons, a number exceed
ing that of all the students en
rolled in all the colleges and uni
versities iu this country. He says
that if all the states had provi
sions comparable to those existing
iu the most advanced states, thete
would be more than 300, C00 in
sane patients in the hospitals to.
day. And that if tbere were add
ed thrie in whom serious mental
disease exists but is untecogtz-d,
the number under treatment
would reach half a million.
To thi? vast army of lunatics or
semi-lunatics 60,000 new patients,
almost the full strength of our
regular army, are added every
year.
The cofrt cf conducting the in
stitutions iu which this vast num
ber of psrs ns is cared for, D etc r
Patten Bays, is so great that in
several states it is exceeded only by
the amonrt expended for educa
tion. Iu 'New York, expenditures
for the msane cover one-fourth of
the total annual appropriation of
the state.
It does uot require a Thaw case,
with its melancholy and morbid
features, to assist appreciation of
this staggering problem . And
this is one of the things that,
made President Wilson really re
luctant to vcte the Burnett bill
because the bill would have placed
in operation vitally needed ad
ministrative forces to limit our
insanity problem at its source, tbe
immigration stations.
It is an open secret that for
many years Uncle Sana has been
saddled with the cost of hand'ing
a large part of the insanity pro
blems of other nations. "What
is it going to be," men like Mr.
Burnett ask, ''aUer this war "?
According to experts the Euro,
pean war is rendering insane or
idiotic a terrible percentage of
combatants and nonoombatants.
This will be one argument whioh
ii calculated to harry forward
immigration !at amendment and
it is only oneof several argu
ments. J
Another mattr. is the exotusiou
of those op-nly fad die ted to sabo
tage, tbe want5b' destruction or
injury of macbiti'y or other forms
of capital iu ordar .to damage the
employer. 'f
It is just possr!e that Mr. Wil
son's veto and causes originating
through the- Ijtopean war may
make tbe imrfiigraiion problem
one of. the vital issues in 1916
Why not? afgood many say.
Because, even ifone were to ac
cept the argument of the anti- re
etrictionists that the war will send
here millions of4he finest blood
and bene and fafain in Earope,
the restrictionisti auswer: "AH
the mnre reason then, to make
ro-m tor those dekirables by nail
ing down the pickets closely"
against the admission of the unfit
and the uudesirable, as tbe Bur
nefct bill would have doue. Th
literacy tt, tooi'was qnly a nv
nor part of the bill." At all
points the restridtionists declare
themselves armed to meet any
argument that ban be adduced
within the facts. I

Trie lo Their Oatl
Tbe Campaign to Make America Catholic
and Suppress Free Speech Incbrites Murder
The news of tbe tragedy about
which The Menace is going to
speak was given to the world on
the morning ot the 4th instant by
the Associated Press in about the
following fashion:
Marshall, Tex,, Feb. 8. Will
iam Black, traveling lecturer, and
John Rogers, a contractor, are
dead and John Copeland, cashier
of a bank here, is not expected to
live ai a result of a shooting af
fray here early tonight in Biaok's
r jom at a hotel.
This, in fact, was the diepatoh
that attracted the attention of the
writer early Thursday morning
aud the dispatch that caused him
to take the first trsin for Marshall
iu order that the whole truth in
the case might be ascertained.
The press dispatch quoted above
telis the 'story so far as the bar
facts are concerned. You can
tell from this dispatch that two
men are dead and another mor
tally wounded. Ycu even know
Lwho the tr-a arP, and what their
oooupatioi s sr.-, hut further than
that a waiting world must be left
in darkness.
Practically evary daily" news
paper in the country carried tois
dispatch. The managing editor
of every paper that handled the
diepatch knew the significance of
it, he knew the details, but he
didn't dare give them to his read
ore .
Why?
Beep use he is in the same danger
that William Blaok was in when
he went to Marshall. Not because
be is in a Roman Catholic com
munity, necessarily, but because
Roman Catholics are there just
aa they were, and are, in Marshall.
Not many, but a few, enough to
bluff, bullyrag, boycott and inti
midate. A half dozen Kuights of
Columbus cau make life miserable
for a thousand decent msn who
wsnt to obey the law and do the
right thing -
William Black went to Mar
shall on the afternoon of Febru
ary 2nd .
The county oourt house was se
cured, and on Tuesday night he
gave a leoture cn Romanism, the
very kind of a b cture that I would
give, or that any other man would
give that knew what he was talk
ing about.
He advertised that he would
leoture Wednesday night.
He supposed that he would lec
ture Wednesday night.
He presumed that the Constitu
tion of the United States means
what it says when it employs this
language: ' Congress shall make
no law respecting an establish
ment of religion, or prohibiting
the free exeroise thereof; or
abridging the freedom of speech,
or the press ; or the right of the
people peaceably to assemble, and
to petition the government for a
redress of grievance."
Aud he had no reason to believe
that tbe people of Marshall, Tex
as, would violate the Constitution
cf the United States,
And the real people of Marshall
have uo desire to do this, for be it
understood that with the excep
tion of the few Roman Catholic
thugs that inhabit the place it is
a oiean town, a good town, one of
the best in the country.
Anyway, on Wednesday even
ing Mr. Black, Mr. O. F. Hall and
ML's Sadie Blaok, adopted daugh
ter of William Black, went oat
for a short walk about town.
They returned to the Hotel
Marshall, on the southeast ootner
of the square, about six o'clock,
five-fifty-five, to be exaot, and
took the elevator for their rooms
on the second floor of the hotel,
rooms 108, 104 and 105.
The evidence whioh has already
been developed in the preliminary
hearing, and which we have a
right to priut, shows that as they
started down the ball of the hotel
to th- it rooms they observed two
men talking; that farther down
the hall they passed two other
men, talking, and that on near
ing the room one of tto- men in
the hall intercepted Mr. Black,
who was in front, and said : "Is
this Mr, Black?"
The answer, Yes."
'Can we see you in your room?"
"Yei."
At this all parties went into the
room.
Mr. Blaok sat down on a stool
near the oenter of the room and
John Rogers opened the con vena
tion with this language :
"Mr. Blaok, you have been giv
ing anti-Oatholio lectures here?"
! Blaok "Yes."
Rogers, ,,Well you are not
going to speak tonight, and you
are going to leave town.',
: Black, attempting to risa from
his seat, said: "I am going to
sp.ak tonight, and I am not going
to leave town,"
At this juncture Rogers took
hold of Blaok, Copela-.d and shot
him through the heart and it is
bt-lieved that Ryan shot him in
she abd men. At the same time
tbt Buck, wis shot. C. F. Hall,
B ack't traveling companion, shot
R g-rs through the head and kill-
el him, and alfeo shot Copeland
hree times, one ballet taking f f
tect in the abdomen, one in the
shoulder and one in the arm.
The doctors consider that he s
mortally womded.
The evidence shows that the
aggressors in the affair were John
Rogers, John Copeland, George
Ryan, George Tier and Harry
Winn, all Roman Catholics and
Knights of Columbus in go d
standing, and all armed with au
tomatic pistols,
Clarence F. Hall, companion
of Mr. Black is thirty-six years of
age and was born in Deepsteep,
Ga. He is a member of the
Knights of Luther, Knights Pa
triot Military Fraternity, and is
-an ma r r iedv- -He - hs rsidd-4fi
Minneapolis, Minn., for the last
few years and joined Mr. Black at
Little Rock, Ark , early in Jan
uary. It will be remembered
that Hall is held under $2 600
bond for the shooting of John
Rogers, who is dead, and of John
Oopeland who it thought to be
mortally wounded. It is a signi
ficant fact to be remembered that
in setting the bonds in this case
Hall was only required to give a
twenty-five hundred dollar bond,
while the aggressors in the ease
were given bonds of five and ten
thousand dollars. eaoh. Another
thing that indicates the state of
publio opinion in Marshall is the
faot that Hall's bond has been
signed by practically every . lead
ing business man in the city and
is worth several hundred times its
face.
