accidentally Shot.

q riday last a very sad acci-
dent nrred at the home of the
Rev. m f, Sharpless, OF the NJ.
Il. d u, South, at Kerns, about
six 4 this side of Elkins, Ran
dolp 6anty. Mr.. Sharpless has
been rather feeble health for
some ne, and about half-past five
e'clo N Friday evening, went to
his accompanied by Mrs.
Shar and lay down on the bed.
They MI few minutes conversa-
ton then she went out into the
yard engaged IN attending to
somD tiers connected with the
housz n. Her daughter was with
her. > few minutes they heard
the TT Of q gun in the house
and, hg in, found Mr.. Sharpless
Sit smxlle bed with a dazed
look 1bbE his face. Mrs. Sharpless
inquired what was the matter and
Mr.. Sharpless replied that he had
been shot. "DId you do it, she
asked, and he replied by a nod, in
the negative. To her affectionate
inquiry as to how it was done, he
returned no answer, and as he began
to reel she laid him back upon the
bed. He lived but a few hours, the
bullet from the rife having entered
just above the left nipple and passed
upwards, bre baking two ribs and then
being deflected inward and burying
itself in the tissues. A careful ex-
animation of the circumstances
leads to the strong conviction that
the shooting was purely accidental.
Mr.. Sharpltss was a most exemplary
man, and there was nothing in his
circumstances to furnish motive
for suicide, nor had any one seen
anything ih his demeanor to indi-
cate that his mind was unbalanced.
He leaves b widow and six children

Fodder corn should be put in at the
same time as the field corn, for it is bet
ter that the stalks should be we'll grown
and reach considerable degree of ma
turity before cutting, whether intended
for the silo or for curing as dry fodder.
Many believe that for the silo it should
be so grown that it will develop ears al.
most as abundantly as the field corn,
and that those ears should reach that
stage of growth where the kernels are in
or little past the milky condition, and
If we are not yet ready to accept that
opinion neither are we prepared to dis
pute it, says American Cultivator. The
points best settled are that it pays to
grow fodder corn; that it is good to feed
green when the pastures grow poor from
drought or other causes; that it is good
when kept in the silo, and good when
properly dried and kept for winter for
age, and that cutting it few days ear
lier or later does not make a great differ
ence in its feeding value. No one can
state the exact stage of growth when it
should be cut, as they do for clover or
timothy, and therefore the grower is not
SO dependent upon the weather.

While not iudorsing all that the manu-
facturers Of GXL claim for it, Mr.. Wash
burn reports that in addition to its eff
fectiveness in checking the coddling
moth it also kept in check the woolly
aphis and apple scab on trees that were
thoroughly sprayed. Banding the trees
with strip of burlap proved valuable
adjunct to spraying. The bands are
examined every few days and the Larvae
found beneath killed The cost of treat
ment per tree with the mixture described
is cents, including labor and material
In the cut here reproduced from the
station bulletin is shown the outfit used.
1t consists of a galvanized iron tank
capable of holding about 100 gallons,
fastened to a frame made Of 2 by 10
plank, which in turn is hooked onto a
wagon bed. When it is necessary to use
a warm solution, sheet iron stove is
fitted under the tank, its door flush with
the rear end. The smoke stack from this
runs forward below the tank, out through
hole in the frame at the anterior end.
and ends in an upright piece about feet
long (not shown in plate). A Bean pump
ANO' ~ Noo oSOb llo ItCtlNl uR uOS6
screws onto faucet leading from the
anterior end of tank, and its two pieces
of discharge hose are connected with
bamboo extensions, as shown in cut.
A wooden cover fits tightly onto the
tank, in the center of which is wide slit
9 feet long, through which paddle is in
serted and the liquid kept stirred while
being sprayed. A good and cheap i'm
provement on this method of stirring is
to have series of paddles hung from
the cover, all worked by lever which
the driver could occasionally push back
and forth. When not in use, this tank
fits into brick furnace and is used for
compromising any insecticide which re-
quires heat. A desirable addition is a
tackle to hoist the tank when full from
off the furnace and to roll it onto the
wagon bed.

IMPROVED swARsI1NG LADDERS.

A common ladder may readily be
changed to answer the purpose by hav-
ing a middle piece fastened to the upper
rungs, as shown in the cut, Fig 9. This
middle piece projects above the two sides
OF the ladder as much as may be desira-
BILE. 1t may be necessary to use strap
iron in fastening this middle piece to the
upper and lower rounds to which it is
attached.
1t often happens that swarm alights
on place where it is not easy to set a
ladder conveniently against the tree,
whether the ladder terminates in one or
two points. Especially is this likely to
he the case with bushy fruit trees, The
swarm is away out at the end of an
overhanging limb, and it is hard to get
the ladder anywhere near it, In this
case fruit ladder such as the one shown
at Fig. 3 serves the purpose well. The
principle is very old This ladder is
made of common inch boards about 5
inches wide, a rest piece coming between
the two side pieces at the top and bolt
passing through the three boards, hold
ing them close together This third
piece is of the same width as the two
sides for little way at the upper end,
and for the rest of the way about an
inch narrower, so that the piece can be
folded up, allowing the ladder to be set
up against tree the same as an ordinary
ladder

SPRAYING ORCHARDS.

Coddling Moth and woolIy Aphis- A
Spraying Outfit Described.
F. l.. Washburn, entomologist of the
Oregon experiment station, after three
years observation on the habits of the
coddling moth, expresses the belief that
orchardists begin to spray too early fol
this pest and names as the time fol
the first spraying just after the blossoms
have fallen. At the Oregon station,
where the several insecticides have been
tested, the combination that gave best
satisfaction consisted of pound of Xxi
IA comparatively new insecticide) to ev.
cry 10 gallons of water, and to this paris
green added in the proportions of pound
to every 300 gallons of liquid. About 10
pounds of whale oil soap soft soap would
have been as efficacious) were added to
this 300 gallons. The IXL was crushed
to pieces about the size of hens egg
and sufficient hot water poured on to
coverit 1t was then added to the water,
as well as the soap, which latter had first
been thoroughly dissolved The paris
green was then added and the mixture
kept stirred when spraying 1t has been
found expedient to mix the paris green
with a small amount of water first and
then pour the creamy mass into the
spraying liquid The spraying of apple
trees began with the dropping of the
blossoms; then three weeks were allowed
between the second and third sprayings
unless a heavy rain followed immediate
ly after the application.

Notes For Bean Growers.

About bushel of seed will plant an
acre, dropping four to six in hill. OF
course the variety and size govern the
quantity required. With a modern
planter 10 to 10 acres can be planted in
day. The Lest planters leave slight
ridge over the seed. This permits early
cultivation without injury to the young
plants.
1t is best to finish the cultivation by
the time the first blossoms appear and
the vines cover the ground. A crop OF
beans can sometimes be raised after the
removal of a crop of hay, brit there is
danger of frost overtaking late plant.
ing Spring grain usually follows beans
then wheat, then grass. and beans again
Wheat may follow beans, especially the
pea variety, which ripens early.
OF varieties, the whites are most GER
tain to be in demand OF the whites
the mediums and the pea beans will
thrive best on moderately fertile soil and
are less liable than the large marrows tc
damage from rain and frost.
Growing beans is somewhat of Local
issue. Very few farmers less than q
miles south of the bean growing section
of northwestern New York have evei
seen bean planter or harvester. AL
though they have better wheat land, they
Eannot grow beans, writes a western
New York bean grower in The Farm
Journal.

Among new ideas in farming is point
in corn culture that is being worked out
by the leading farmers in some parts of
Ohio and Iowa. An Iowa farmer tells
in The Country Gentleman of farmers
who take clean corn land and remove
as much of the litter as possible; then
put on disk harrows and thoroughly
work up the surface about three times
over being the usual amount of work
given), following upwith smoothing har-
row and planter. One man, in speaking
of his trial of this plan last year, said he
could tell to the row where he ceased
blowing and begun with the disk har-
row, the corn on the latter ground being
so much larger.
