THE FARM.
Good Spraying Mixtures.


Under the present conditions necess-
airy to success in fruit growing no farmer
will venture to make crop without the
use OF appliances for spraying his trees
aud vines with the we'll known solutions
for destroying insects, fungi and para
sites AS this IS the season for such
work reference to the materials used Tor
making solutions will not lie out of place
The kerosene emulsion for destroying
lice, aphides and larger insects is made
by dIssoiving one pound OF hard soap III
gallon OF boiling water, adding two
gallons OF kerosene, removing the vessel
from the fire to avoid danger. The mix
ture is at once ehurned briskly until the
kerosene and soapsndS are intimately
mixed as an emulsion. Kerosene will
not mix with water, but may be made
into an emulsion with milk OF strong
solution of soap. When cold the emul
sion is OF the consistency of cream.
Twenty gallons OF cold water may then
be added, and it is ready for use, being
applied as fine spray with a sprayer,
THE BORDEAUX MIXTURE.
The Bordeaux mixture is used for
destroying fungi and also as a protection
against some insects. IL is a cheap sub
stance, ard may be easily prepared.
Dissolve six pounds of snlphate OF cop
per (biuestoue) in ten gallons of boiling
water, or in as much watar as may be
necessary to dissolve the sulphate. Stake
four pounds OF lime in another vessel,
and then add enough water to make Il

copper sulphate solution through a

" WASHINGTON WORKERS /
And the Great Dangers That Sur
round Them.
SENATORS INTERVIEWED.
Considerable Excitement Has Been
Caused by the Sudden Breaking
Down of So Many Prominent Men.

WASHINGTON Cd. c., June 15.-The ex-
elements of Congress and the interest
caused by varying schemes and various
measures have been overshadowed OF late
by revelation of the alarming death
rate among public men, and the addl-
tional fact that in nearly every case the
cause can be traced to one source. The
sad and sudden death of eX-Postmaster
General Frank Hatton, who was stricken
at his desk and died shortly atterward,
recalls the deaths OF Secretaries Eolger,
Window, Chandler and Chase, and Sena-
tors Sumner, Beck, Cameron and others.
Now it has dawned upon the minds OF
the public mon that there must be some
one great reason for all these untimeiy
deaths, and it has been traced directly to
the great modern trouble which seems to
be natural scourge, Brighrs disease OF
the kidneys.
An interview with number of promi-
nent men on the subject shows the inter-
est they feel. Mr.. j. henderson Will1in-
son, the well-known pension attorney.
said: Ten years ago | was seized with
an attack of Bright's disease while at
work in the Treasury here. How bad
was you can understand when / say that
my hands became bloated and actually
cracked open. My limbs and body were
alternately swollen and collapsed. l
could only creep across the floor. Finally
my physician said to me. You are at
DEATHS door with Bright's disease. You
may live a few weeks. but there is abso-
lutely'no hope of your recovery Upon
the advice OF the Rev. DR.. Rankin, Presi-
dent of Howard University, L began the
use of Warmers Safe Cure, which rescued
me from the grave after the doctors had
abandoned all hope. l am certain that If
men and women generally realized the
wonderful power of this great remedy
there would be less sickness, fewer
deaths, longer life and more happiness
than at present"
Rev. DR.. j. E. Rankin, d. D., formerly
Chaplain OF the Senate, confirmed all that
Mr.. Wilkinson had said and cited many
other cases that had come under his notice
where Warmers Safe Cure had restored
the health of men and women suffering
from Bright's disease. Congressman
Belden OF New Y ork, Senator Bruce, Mr..
Egleston, OF the Treasury Department,
Senator Blackburn and others, all united
in similar statements.
Wherever | went / found the testimony
the same. II was generally admitted that
the strains OF life were wearing, but it is
universally conceded that for overcoming
this condition, for strengthening the
vitality, Ioning the health and prolong-
ing the life, nothing had ever been
known equal to the great remedy I have
above described

ILLINOIS COAL
Home Value Only Trifle Over One
Dollar n Ton.


Dollar n Ton.
Few people recognize the importance
OF the coal industry in Illinois, and still
fewer know that more bituminous coal is
produced in that State than in any other
State in the Union, Pennsylvania eX-
cepted. The great central coal field takes
in nearly all OF 1lllnOlS-aIl of it in fact
from Ottawa south-the southwestern
section OF Indiana, and a small part of
Western kentucky, and produces an
nually about y, ,000, 900 tons OF bituminous
coal. OF this, Illinois alone produces
II, 100000, so large proportion that this
great field is commonly known as the IL
linois field. About one-third OF the annual
report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics
of the State is devoted to the coal indus
try, and from the last volume issued by
the Commissioners some statistics have
been obtained which, when read in con-
nection with the great strike, prove very
interesting.
From this report it is ascertained that
coal is mined in 30 of the 102 counties, and
that there are $50 producing mines in the
State. These produced in 1892 l., ,S62, ,276
tons of coal of all grades. When one is
told that it would take 093, ,l13 cars hold
ing twenty tons each to carry this prod
uct, and that these cars would make a
train III, l09 miles in length-alnnost long
enough to reach half way around the
world-then, and only then. one can
begin to appreciate the immensely
of the coal production of Illinois.
There are .632 men and boys en-
ployed III these mines, OF whom
25, 81 are miners, and to assist the man
ual and mechanical power 100000 kegs Of
powder are used annually. The average
price paid per ton for hand mining in 1872
was y cents, and the average home value
the coal was 81 OF, the aggregate value of
product OF the State being Sic, 243, 645.-St.

The old don. after removing his SOM
brero, in which act of gentle reverence
we all instantly joined. finally stepped
to the side OF the casket. Leaning against
it he siroked it softly and rumlnatively
for little time, when he began in sub
dued but almost thrilling and passionate
tones recital of the romantic incidents
in one OF the most tragic episodes of Gu
ban history.
One week preceding Holy Thursday of
1888 the youth. Miguel. my own name
sake, an only son OF wealthy planter of
the valley yonder, where, my friends, /
am soon TO welcome you at an olden Gu
ban home, was hunting the wild hueta
upon this very spot, which at that time
was an almost impenetrable mass of
giant forest trees, densely matted with
prodigious quantities OF the wild grape.
As IN those days nearly ali the slaves of
Southern Cuba were quite recent importa-
tions from the wilds of Africa, the lad
