pER1vATIoN OF JEws-HARp

The names of this little musical in
strument Is, so far as it appears to
show connection with the Jewish race,
a misnomer. It has no special hold as
a musical instrument among the men,
bers of this race, and no more deserves
to be called a "Jews-harp' than the
harp of any other people.
The term is merely corrupted form
of the French ''jeu-trompe," literally a
toy trumpet; but the corruption of
'.jeu'' into Jews is clearly Of good
age. limbs. in one Of his popular
works, has it that the instrument is
called a "Jews-harp" by Hakluyt
Bacon called it "Jeu-trumpe,' while
"Jeu-trump'' is used by Beaumont and
Fletcher, (of limbs Popular Errors
In Railey's dictionary Q739 will be
found "Jews-harp, an instrument of
musick;'' the substitution of harp
for trump is, apparently, N later
growth, although. of course, Hakluyt
points to an early use. The etymon
''jaws-harp," SO called because of it's
being played between the jaws" is
referred to by limbs. Altogether, Che
French origin of the term eeems the
most favored and this leads one to the
conclusion that ''jaws-harp" is but
"matter-of-fact" name for that instru-
merit, invented by some of the old folks
among whom it circulated.-Notes and

In spite of his faith in the POSSIBLE
tiles of irrigation as a helpful factor
in the agricultural advancement Of
Kansas, in the direction of smaller
holdings, higher farming and COM
Portable home-making, Secretary Co
burn of the State board of agriculture
thinks subsoiling is a line of work
from which Kansas farmers, consid-
ering the state as whole, have
reason TO expect the largest aggre-
gate returns, cost considered. That is
by all odds the most available substi-
tute for irrigation. Where the latter
for any cause is not practicable, and
is worthy of careful study and intelli-
gent practice, he modestly proclaims
as a part of his gospel, not that he
regards it by any means as likely to
be a panecea for all the ills to which
agriculture is heir, but yet habit
worthy of hearty encouragement.
Recently he was on visit of in
spection to the farm of Scott Kelsey.
near Topeka, where subsoiling has
been extensively practiced by the
owner for the past six years with
very gratifying results. Mr.. Kelsey
has one tract of thirty acres that was
plowed and SUBSIDIZED to a depth of
twenty inches in the fail of 1890 and
again in the spring of 1898, which
gave yield of eighty-five bushels of
corn per acre in 1898 and the same
tract produced sixty-five bushels per
acre in 1894 He also has another
tract of twenty-eight acres, subsoiled
in the fall of 1892 and Also again in
the fall of 1893, that was planted in
potatoes and save a yield of 100 bush
els per acre in 1894. The land was
sown to millet after the potatoe crop
was laid by, and produced one and
half tons per acre. while land in the
same field, not subsoiled, but of the
same quality and sown at the same
time, failed to produce anything.
The farm consits of 1877 acres and
it's owner intends hereafter to sub
soil about one-third of it each year,
his observations leading to the con-
clusion that three years is approx
imately the profitable limit between
times of this deeper tillage.
AS a part of the returns from this
SUBSIDIZED twenty-eight acres for the
year 1894, which so many farmers re-
garded as a failure, Mr.. Kelsey this
week received warrants on the state
treasurer to the amount of S1,405, for
seed potatoes sold tc the Board of
Commissioners for distribution in the
western counties.
Secretary Coburn's quarterly re-
port for March will contain consider
able information on subsoiling, and
those desiring it should make aplica-
ton to him with cents in stamps to
cover postage, which the legislature
failed to provide.-Topeka Capital.

PROFIT IN SPRAYING ORCHARDS.
Instructive Experiments in the Ohio
Station.

Ohio has more than half million acres
of orchards and vineyards, writes w. j.
Green in a recent bulletin, and all Of the
trees and vines covering these acres are
subject TO the attacks of insects and fun
Gus diseases. How much damage those
insects and diseases are capable of
doing. cannot well be estimated, but it is
possible to approximate quite closely to
the benefit to be derived from the use. Of
preventive and remedial measures against
them 1t was demonstrated at the Ohio
Experiment Station. in 1891, that GER
tain course of treatment increased the
value of the apple crop not less than $zO
per acre and in the following season the
same treatment prevented the loss of a
still greater amount.
Although all classes of insects and all
fungous diseases cannot be successfully
controlled, enough is known concerning
methods of treatment to warrant the
statement that were these methods put
INTO practice generally, the returns from
fhe fruit crop of Ohio would annually eX-
coed its present value by several millions
of dollars. Full demonstration of the
truth of this statement ray be found in
The repo-ts and bulletins issued by the
United States Department of Agriculture
and bv the various experimental stations.
ErxperimentS in the OHIO station have
demonstrated that for the purpose of
combating some of the most destructive
fungous diseases and most troublesome
insects combined mixtures are the most
rffective and least injurious to foliage.

4. 1t is not always known whether one
or both are needed, hence as precaution
1t is better to use both in combination.
Spraying the Apple, Pear and Ounce
The most effective treatment for the
apple, pear and ounce, for fungi and in
sects, is to spray once or twice Just be-
fore the blooms open with Bordeaux
mixture alone; and one spraying imme-
diately after the blossoms have fallen and
repeated ten days later, using the same
mixture diluted one-half) with the addi-
ton of four ounces of Paris Green or
London purple to fifty gallons of the mix
ture, TO avoid injuring the fruit. Do not
use the Bordeaux mixture for any later
spraying on apple or pear trees.
Spraying the Plum.
For spraying the plum, either for fungi,
or curculio and other insects, use a com
bination of diluted Bordeaux mixture
lone-half strength, and two ounces of
Paris green or London purple added to
fifty gallons of the mixture This COM
bined mixture is to be applied as soon as
the blossoms have fallen, and repeated
three or four times at intervals of one
week.
Spraying the Cherry.
The only safe application for the cherry
Is Paris green-two ounces to fifty gallons
or water; apply after the blossoms have
fallen, and repeat once.
Spraying the Peach.
The foliage of the peach is vefv easily
injured. The best advice that can be
given in regard 10 spraying is to make
not more than two applications, soon
after blooming. using two pounds each of
