The PeritS of Youth.

How few have any material sympathy
for youth at that period when
Standing with reluctant feet
Where the brook and river meet"
They are urged forward by Natures stern
decree to assume the powers and duties of
manhood and womanhood. And yet this
is the most critical point in the voyage of
human life. Then it is that the danger
of a shattered nervous system reaches it's
crisis and ignorance seizes it's opportunity
to plant the seed of future lll-heslth and
misery. Then it is the quack secures his
victim and his purse. This is the occasion
when the hand of experience should take
the hand of inexperence and guide its
feet to the solid rock upon the farther
shore At the approach of puberty and
during the first years of this new order of
being, there are weakening tendencies that
should be guarded against. A medicine
that has the power to strengthen the
various parts of the body and to regulate
and give control to it's various functions
is essential at frequent intervals. Such a
medicine has the eminent DR.. John Bull,
OF Louisville, Ky, given to the world. 1t
is known as DR.. John Bulls earsaparilla.
Don't fall into the hands of quacks, but
demand this remedy of your druggist.
Take no other. 1t is exactly what is
needed and will carry you safely through
to strength and robust health.

WINTER APPLES.
What cheer is there that is half so good,

What cheer Is there that is half 30 good,
In the snowy waste of winter night
As dancing fire of hickory wood,
And an easy chair in its mellow light,
And a pearmain apple, ruddy and sleek,
Or ienneting with freckled cheeks
A russell apple Is fair to view,
With tawny tint like an autumn leaf,
The warmth of ripened corn-field's hue,
Or golden hint o: harvest sheaf;
And the wholesome breath of finished year
Is held in winesap's blooming sphere.
They bring you thought of the orchard trees
In bIossomv April and leafy June,
And the sleepy droning of humble bees,
In the lazy light of the afternoon,
And tangled clover and bobolnks,
Tiger lilies and garden pinks.
If you've somewhere left, with its gables wide,
farm house set in al orchard old,
You'll see it al in the winrertide
At sight of pippin's green and gold,
Or pearmain apple ruddy and sleek,
Or jennetng with a freckled cheek.

His Heart In 1t,

A manufacturer in Philadelphia lately
told to friend the story of one of his
superintendent.
Twelve years ago boy applied to me
for work. He was employed at low wages.
Two days later the awards of premiums
were made to manufactures at the Cen
tenniaI Exhibition.
"Passiag down Chestnut Street cary in
the morning, saw Bob pouring over the
bulletin board in front of a newspaper
Office. Suddenly he jerked off his cap
with shout.
"'What is the matter7' some one asked
"'We have taken medal for sheet
ings I he exclaimed.
II said nothing, but kept my eye on Bob.
The boy who could identify himself in two
days with my interest would be of use to
me hereafter.
ellis work was to deliver packages.
found that he took a real pride in it.
His wagon mustibe cleaner, his horse better
fed, his orders filled more promptly than
those of the men belonging to any other
firm. He was as Jealous for the house as
though he had been partner in it,
have advanced him step by step. His
fortune is made, and the firm have added
to their capital so much energy and force. .

= summed up as follows, your correspondent
being indebted both to him and to Proc
. Jordcn for the summary. Formula No
} (from State Expert kles) pounds cause
tic soda, pound caustic potash, 4 eallons
) water. No. variation by Mr.. BarrD
pound caustic soda, pound caustic pot
, ash, 4 gallons water The main ingreC en-
, in these preparations Mr.. Barry tonnd to
} | be the caustic soda, the causti; potash
serving mainly to maintain the Gq1ides-
cence and prolong its efficacy, the proper
tions to be used being regulated by the
weather On dry. hot days, too little
potash causes the wash to change to pow
der Immediately upon application, the
effect being thus lost little observation
will enable the orchardist to gauge pro
portions to nicely. If the effect is fatal
to the insect it will be shown in twenty
four hours by shriveling of the scale
and darkening of the color.
After considerable experimentation Mr..
Barry settled upon the following variation
Of formula No. as the most efficacious
and generally applicable: / pound caus-
tic soda, pound caustic potash, gallons
| water.
These remedies are effective on all
scales on all decidious trees. For ever
greens, however, they are too severe, do
stroying the leaves. Whale oil remedies
should be used for them.
From his own experience Mr. Barry
evolves the following rules:
l. Don't spare wash or labor. The
greatest mistake is to attempt too much
within a given time.
2. Attack the least infected part Of the
orchard first. This will enable the oper-
ator to "get his hand in" before reaching
the worst.
3. The scale is deposited in October
therefore, begin spraying in November, as
soon as the leaves drop. Just now you
may catch many insects before they en-
case themselves, and the Gales already
formed are more easily penetrated.
4 Sp,ay once again during fair days of
winter and again in March or April, after
the buds start. In April spring erowths
will prevent. Now prune ell the limbs
not bearing fruit buds, thus destroying
newly Matched insects and securing clean
new growths.
5. Be sure of the strength of caustic
soda Prof Hilgard, of the University of
California, recommends the greenDacl1
brand, from St. Helens, England, % per
cent strong.
6. Spray adjoining orchards, whether
apparently affected or not. IAN ounce OF |
prevention, ETC..
This pest is called the Apricot Scale, but |
the experience of orchardists hereabouts |
is that it infects the peach trees with equal |
readiness and results fully as disastrous.
1t is bound to yield, however, to the |
shove treatment. Mr.. Barry used 1000 |
gallons on his orchard at a cost of about
$50 for chemicals. Fully three fourths OF
the scales were destroyed, and the pros
pect is for their complete eradication this
year.
There is good deal of spraying being
done now, and orchardists are very hope
full as to results. This is a pioneer fruit
section, and city dealers claim-at least, to
us-that fruit from this section is among
the best that reaches the city. This MAJ
be flattery, but out here we are inclined TO
tbs belief that it is merely just appreci-
alton of merit. C. c. IN Morning GaN
