SPRAYING FOR APPLE SCAB.
Results of Experiments with Various
Mixtures.

The Maine Experiment Station has is
sued bulletin giving the results of the
experiments in spraying as protection
against attack of apple scab. The prin-
cipal work of the last season was COM
parisoh of the effectiy eness of different
mixtures.
Results of spraying in 1888 Ito prevent
apple scab: Check trees (not sprayed)
1873 per cent. free from scab; Eau
celeste, sprayed four times, RS per
cent. free from scab; Bordeaux Mixture
sprayed four times, 1919 per cent free
from scab; Bordeaux Mixture and Paris
Green, sprayed four times 49, s per cent.
free from scab.
Continuing the bulletin states
"For the benefit of those who have
not received previous reports. it may be
we'll to give a brief resume of the results
obtained from three seasons expert
ments.
We have seen that apple scab is caused
by parasitic fungus which attacks the
leaves and young twigs as we'll as the
fruit, and that the growth of the tree
MAY be seriously checked. Spraying the
trees with certain compounds of copper
has been found an effective means of
holding the disease in oheck-the in
crease of salable fruit, as result of
spraying, often amounting to so per
cent.
Indications point strongly to the value
of spraying early in the season, before
the blossoms open, and repeating the
application four or five times during the
season.
The best results have been obtained
from the use of Bordeaux Mixture pre-
pared as follows: 6 pounds copper sui
plate (Blue Stone j; pounds quick
lime; 40 gallons water. Dissolve the
copper in pail of hot water; slake the
lime in another vessel; mix and dilute
as above for use.

chemicals may be obtained in large

ton; Elmer & Amend, 205 Third Ave-,
New York; ". S. Powell, & Co., Balti-
more, Md. Most of the materials may
be purchased in small amounts at the
local store. Force. pumps and other
apparatus for spraying may be obtained
of any of the leading manufacturers, as:
Field Force Pump Co., Lockport, N.
Y: Gould's Manufacturing Co., Seneca,
NY; & W. B. Douglass, Middletown,
Conn. The most satisfactory nozzle we
have used is the "McGowen, manufac-
tured by John J. McGowen, Ithaca.,

The new officials of Lewiston are
bringing to light some interesting facts
in regard to the management OF the
city's finances during the time that
municipal affairs have been under the
control of the Democrats. 1t seems
that'on some of the sinking fund bonds
no interest has been paid for two years.
and that the payment of interest on city
notes held by the municipal sinking
fund and the water loan sinking funa
has also been neglected. By reason OF
these delinquencies the city is now IN
debted to the sinking fund in the sum
of over $4,000

The favorite explanation of the tariff
reform organs Of such victories as those
won by thesRepublicans in Rhode Island
and the West is that they are born OF
disgust with the Democrats at their
dilly-dallying policy with regard to the
Wilson bill. Undoubtedly there ia a
good deal of disgust with the Demo-
Garlic senators and representatives but
that. We imagine, is responsible for
only very small part of the popular
uprising that is swapping Democratic
candidates in all parts of the country
it is the Democratic threat of destroying
tho protective tariff, with the conse-
quent paralysis of our industries that is
chiefly responsible. Last summer the
Republicans told the country that the
depression in business was chiefly due
to the Democratic threat to revise the
tariff along the lines of free trade. The
Democrats alleged on the contrary
that it was due to the Sherman silver
law, and predicted that when that was
repealed business would quickly revive.
1t was repealed but business not only
did not revive but went from bad to

way to cure Deafness, and that Is by consti-

The following editorial appeared in
Yesterdays Boston Herald:

f6SU6EudI D oOSuOA AAOAetAA'
The country owes debt of gratitude
to the sound money Republicans for
their patriotic course in supporting the
veto Of the .seigniorage bill. As an IN
dependent journal we hasten to ac-
knowledge the obligation. Their atti-
tude was all the more creditable to them
as il was adopted in spite Of the provo
cation given by Speaker Crisp, whose
arbitrary treatment of Mr.. Reed looked
somewhat like deliberate attempt to
exasperate the sound Republicans by
refusing them a chance to discuss the
veto. Fortunately this provocatior did
not drive them to sullen abstention
from voting, for, if they had kept aloof,
the veto would have been overridden by
a two-thirds majority. 1t was the sup
port accorded to the President by the
honest money Republicans that saved
him from humiliation on this issue. His
own party deserted him to such degree
that it cast more than to-thirds ma
jority against the veto. The vote on Mr..
BANDS motion to override it stood IA
yeas to ia nays. The yeas comprised 11S
Democrats, IS Republicans and Popu-
lists. The nay column was composed of
Sd Democrats and go Repu blicans. The
Democrats gave party majority of
sixJy-four on the sllverite side, sswhile the
Repu bicans sustained the veto by par
ty majority of forty one.
This is frank and honorable &C.
acknowledgement, without equivocation
of any kind, that the credit of defeating
the seigniorage bill belongs to the Re.
publicans. 1t is to be hoped that it signi-
fies an awakening from the delusion
that the Herald has been Iaboring under
for some years past that it is safer to
entrust the finances to tine Democratic
thau,to. the Republican party.
