washes for Fruit Trses

ID. W. Coquillet of Los Angeles on
washes for fruit trees says: While the
spraying oftrees for the destruction ofscale
insects has not proved as satisfactory as
could he wished, yet when properly done,
and an effective wash has been used, it has
had the effect of greatly lessening the num-
Der OF these pests upon the trees thus
sprayed, and while there is every reason
for believing that the gas treatment will in
the main supersede spraying, yet there
will always be cases where it will be deslr-
able to use "a wash Of some Kind, sIch as
upon plants or vines trained against a
wall, or otherwise so situated that it would
be impossible to cover them with tent
prior to fumigating them.
One of the best washes | have used for
the destruction of scale insects consists of
caustic soda, resin and water, in thefollow-
ing proportions; Caustic soda, one pound
| resin, ten pounds; water, to make forty
gallons. The caustic soda is first dissolved
by boiling in one and a half gallons of
| water, and when dissolved one-half the
solution is taken out, and the resin added
to that remaining in the kettle. If this
| precaution is not taken, and the resin is
added to the whole of the soda solution,
| the latter is very liable to "boil over"
| After all of the resin is dissolved, add
slowly the balance of the soda solution,
and boil until the mixture will assimilate
| with water; this can be ascertaiued by oc-
| casIonally dipping out small quantity of
the mixture and adding water to it, as
| when properly cooked it will assimilate
with water, like milk, but if it has not been
| boiled sufficiently it will form a repy mass
in the bottom of the vessel During the
| boiling process the solution should be fire.
quently stirred, and if it shows signs of
boiling over. small quantity of water
| should be added, but not too much, or the
cooking of the mixture will be DELAYED.
| While the mixture is boiling foam will
be formed upon the surface, usually equal
ing in hight the depth of the mixture in
the vessel, being composed of very small
bubbles. On one occasion, when ! was
experimenting the boiling of some of this
mixture, the latter did not form such a
foam upon its surface, but in its stead pro-
duced bubbles; this doubtless resulted from
the fact that the mixture did not contain a
sufficient quantity of the caustic soda solu-
tion to properly soponify the resin; accord
ingly | added more of the soda solution.
and in a short time the mixture produced
the usual foam in small bubbles upon its
surface. When sufficiently cooked that it
will assimilate with water like milk, which
it resembles, it should be measured and
poured into barrel or vessel, and suiii-
cient water added to make forty gallons
the water should he added very slowly, the
mixture in the mean time being thoroughly
stirred.

COUNTING VOTES.

1t is charged that in certain. election
districts and precincts in this State the
election boards excluded from their pres
ence during the counting of the ballots,
Tuesday night and yesterday, the COM
mittees appointed by political parties to
watch the count; that they also excluded
citizens whe desired so observe the count
ing; that they secluded themselves in
close rooms and there counted the ballots
and made up the returns. There is i'm
minent danger in permitting such proceed
ure. The law proceeds upon the theory
that voting shall be free, and the counting
of the ballots open and in the presence of
the public. But it is.yery often defeated
by selecting such cramped places for poll
ing booths that it is all bEt impossible for
any others to get into the room after the
official board is once chartered in it.
This trick of jannling the polling booths
into Railways and small rear rooms of
saloons, or insufHeiently capacious store
rooms, is bad all through and the law
should prohibit it We repeat that the
size Of the polling booth ought to be pre-
serihed by statute, and that 1t should be
in locality free from connection with any
saloon or drinking bar. There are plenty
of places TO be secured In any town or city
roomy enough and not attached to any
drinking ssalooon. The law concerning
inspection Of the process Of counting prov
ing in many eases to be ineffective, let the
coming Legislature see TO it that political
parties are SO far recognized thai they
shall have the right, by proper represen-
&atives, to watch the counting of votes in
I'll elections, and that there shall be no
closed doors to any polling booth during
the process of counting. Penalties shouA
attach for the violation of such regulations
SO certain and severe az to be beyond pos
sibility of avoidance. We cannot go too
far in guarding the ballot-box, or in pro-
tecting the citizen in the inViolability of
his ballot. It is the one weapon alone
with which Americans should do battle

Dynamite In Spain.

MADRID. Feb. 5.-A dispatch
from Huelva states thatyesterday
mob of Rio Tinto miners who
are now on strike, on being ordered
to disperse refused to do so and
they were fired upon by the troops.
Ten miners were killed and many
wounded. The crowd of miners
and peasants was augmented till
it numbered 1900, when the
governor attempted to paoify the
people, but the latter attacked the
soldiers with firearms and threw
dynamite into the ranks, Temporal
rily overpowering the troops, but
the military, after several we'll
directed volleys, succeeded in
dispensing the crowd and driving
the strikers from their strongholds.
Two soldiers were wounded. They
have received decorations S.om
the bishop of Huelva. A search
of the cabins of the miners re-
vealed dynamite hidden in large
quantities. The strike was caused
by reduction in wages by an En-
glish mining company. The COM
pany, on advice, has resolved to
pay the old wages.

If it were not for the fact that
SO many persons who are out Of
employment, and cannot find any
thing to do, although willing and
anxious to work, and who are now
almost on the brink of starvation
we have heard so much about the
way some of our TRUSTEES" are
going back on their principles
lately, that we feel like laying
down our pen and not again TAX
ing it up to advocate the interests
of the laboring man. But when
we see and hear of the want and
suffering, and know of the hun
dreds of our men who are work
ing with all their nights for the
advancement of their fellow-men,
we are encouraged to go on and
on, and do whatever good we can
in that direction. But it is awfuly
discouraging to have our friends
desert us when the battle is
nearly won.

phase of the evolution of society,
then it follows that political econ

by new philosophy, a true sci

tions rise. Under social cooper

defined philosophy of the produc-
ton and distribution of wealth,
