County of Jack-
FOR the nmii who uses shank's mare tho cost of travel
has been increased by the man who rides in his au
tomobile. Such is tho conclusion of tho Massachusetts
commission on the cost of living, sas the New York
World. It is a good deal like saying that the price of cake
fixes the price of bread, but it is true, as common experi
ence proves.
So much leather is used nowadays in the manufacture
of automobiles that hides arc higher, leather is higher
and so on down step by step until the price of boots and
shoes is raised. It is the same story with rubber. The
demand for the crude material in the automobile trade has
hoisted prices all along tho line, from overshoes to pneu
matic tires, and most of all in London, for tho shares of
new Scotch rubber-plantation companies. The more peo
ple ride the more the man who walks pays for going afoot.
The automobile has developed iuto an expensive luxury
for the people who do not use it. . It has added to tho cost
of maintaining the roads in good repair and of going well
shod in dry and wet weather. It has created new styles
of clothes and new resorts for dear food and drink. At
the present rate of consumption lobsters and champagne
are likely to go higher. Tho only thing that has been
cheapened is human life. The cost of high living, as James
J. Hill said, has made the cost of living higher. The auto
mobile was well named "the devil wagon."

Theodore Roosevelt as special ambassador of the Unit
ed States at King Edward's funeral was an ideal appoint
ment. No other American could so fitly represent the
great republic upon this solemn occasion as its only ex
president; no other would be received in England in that
capacity with such general satisfaction. The coincidence
which found Mr. Roosevelt at this time aboard and able
to discharge this duty was a fortunate one.

and which is distinctly a winter dis

that if thorough fall spraying is
practiced and if tho application of
5-5-50 Bordeaux is made before the
winter rains begin there will be no
need for any summer applications.
It is a well-known fact that the
peach and Japanese plum arc readily
defoliated by fungicides such as
Bordenux and lime-sulphur, and, if
weather conditions are unfavorable,
tho strength of either formula, as
has been advised by others, will al
ways produco injury. I have readily
produced almost complete defoliation
in test plots by spraying with dilu
tions of 1 to 50, 1 to 75 and eien 1
to 100 of lime-sulphur, having n 30
degreo Baumo test.
From this it can be cecn that the
uso of 1 to 30 or 35 is certainly a
long way below tho danger limit, nnd
if weather conditions are moist or
rainy, almost complete destruction of
tho foliage and fruit will be tho re
sult in case such concentrations are
used. I have also caused very sori
oub defoliation by tho uso of Bor
deaux of 3-9-50 strength that is, 3
pounds of copper sulphate, 0 pounds
of lime nnd 50 gallons of water
although when wcathor conditions
were perfectly dry no injury was
caused by oven 5-5-50 Bordeaux.
If we could know what tho weather
will be, it is possible that summer
