y Portuguese writer finds fault
with English hotel keepers for using
printed form of bill on which the.
plain requirements of simple travel
er>are lost amid multitude of items.
In Portugal, when the traveller asks
for his bill, the landlord pleasantly
rubs his hands together and answers:
"Whatever your excellency expects to
give"
OF course this will not do, for the
traveller Is sure to offer too little or
too much, and to be thought either a
spendthrift or niggard; SO he has to
make speech, thanking the landlord
for his confidence, and beg for de-
tailed statement. Then the landlord,
politely deprecating anything of the
kind, is slowly persuaded to check off
the various items upon the fingers Of
his hand, with long argument be-
fore each successive finger is done
with and doubled down.
"What does it come tor" asks the
traveller, taking out his purse, when
the hand and account are closed

ARSENATE OF LEAD.

A Now InseotlClde Used with Great Sue
ooss in Massachusetts.
This new insecticide has been quite
generally used by the Massachusetts
gypsy moth commission for the ex-
termination Of the gypsy moth, but ex-
periments on various trees, shrubs and
plants as well as insects have been made
incidentally in connection with the
work OF the gypsy moth commission.
AT the recent meeting of the Massachu-
sets fruit growers association, Mr..
Meyer, Of the gypsy moth commission,
expressed the opinion that arsenate Of
lead will soon take the place of paris
green, as the lead mixture does not burn
foliage. Mr.. Meyer reported having
sprayed nearly every shrub native to
Massachusetts, and with no injurious re-
suits. No evil effects have been observed
by thoroughly spraying the peach,
whose foliage is so tender paris green
often has q serious burning effect. In all
cases the arsenate of lead mixture has
proven destructive to insect life. Being
mixed with glucose, 1t adheres to foliage
30 that one spraying is usually sufficient
for season. II buds are sprayed before
the fruit forms, fruit will be uninjured
To prepare the mixture, put II ounces
acetate Of lead and ounces arsenate
Of soda in hogshead containing 15O
gallons Of water. These substances
quickly dissolve and form arsenate Of
lead, q fine white powder which remains
In suspension in the water. By adding
glucose or molasses, 2 quarts to each $50
gallons of water, the lnsecticide adheres
throughout the season to the foliage,
even through quite heavy rains. Ar
senate OF soda sells at wholesale at 8
cents per pound and acetate Of lead at
12 cents in 25 pound quantities. These
two chemicals are strong poison, as Ia

in which the relation Of color to yield
has been observed. The general av-
erage OF all these tests shows that the
white varieties make larger yield By
about 21s bushels than the yellow va.
rieties. Az six out of seven stations
the highest yielder was the white va-
riety, and Of the 36 varieties named an
giving the best yields at the different
stations "a were white and only seven
were yellow, the others being red. This
does not mean that every white variety
is better THAN every yellow one, but it
does afford ground for the belief that on
the average white corn Is more pro-
life. With respect to feeding value,
there Is from the standpoint of scientific
analysis no difference between white
and yellow corn, but on this point chem
istry is at variance with the opinions of
a good many practical feeders.-Farnl-
