The Arsenics Are Ehlcacious Renee
dies for Insect Pests.
State Entomologist johnson, of Mary
land, says that any of the leaf-eating
insects, such as the apple tree tent
caterpillars, can be destroyed by any of
the arsenics. Paris green is the best
remedy FOR the apple worm or coddIing
moth. The trees should be sprayed just
as soon as the blossoms fall, While the
young apples are. no larger than peas
and in an upright position. A general
spraying should follow in about two
weeks. The paris green should be used
at the rate of one pound to IT'S or 300
gallons of water. It can also be applied
to Bordeaux mixture at the rate of one
quarter pound to IS gallons of the mix
ture. The same remedy is recommend
ed for the plum curculio. The spraying
should be done as soon as the fruit sets.
For scale insects, such as the San
Jose scale, whale-oil soap should be
used at the rate Of 211a to 2A pounds to a
gallon of water. The spraying in this
case should be done while the trees are
dormant, and not when IN full foliage
Late fall or winter is the best time to
spray for these pests. In case of the
oyster-shell bark louise, or the seneay
bark louise, the spraying should be done
in the spring, and in this case kerosene
emulsion should be used. 1t should be
diluted at the rate of one part of emut.
sion to nine or ten of water. The time
of spraying must be determined by the
time of Matching of the insects.

EXCHANGING EGGS.

A Practice Which La qPermit tied ia

= 1t is not unusual to have q neighbor
request you to exchange eggs with
him, and such neighbor may have been
the first to condemn your enterprise in
purchasing new blood and pure breeds.
AS q rule every farmer who steps out
side Of the beaten path or ventures into
something better is at once classed as
4 crank or a book farmer; but sooner
or later his neighbors will show a will
ingncss to obtain his stock II they can
exchange. with him. He must 90 to
the expense OF bringing the stock into
the community and If he fails he is set
down as lacking il intelligence; but
when he succeeds he receives no credit.
There is no reason why one should ex-
change eggs Of pure breeds for those
from scrub fowls any more than a .Jer-
-sey calf should be exchanged for one
from q nondescript COW. When eggs
are sold for Matching they represent
something more than their value for
the table Those who buy them do not
wait eggs, but stock, the eggs reep -
3resenting the embryo young of the de-
sired breed. Any armer who procures
pure breeds should Be encouraged sby

TO Be Successful One Must Not BE
Afraid of Work.
See that your fowls have everything
to promote health, nothing that will
hurt or destroy. Vermin should not be
allowed to enter the fowls house; but,
should they get in, the best thing to do
is to pull off your coat and get to work.
Thoroughly clean and whitewash the
house and nests and kerosene the
roosts. Sitting hens are great prey
to lice. Put clean broken straw in the
nest, take the hen by the legs, breast
on the floor, and rub sulphur through
the feathers and let her sit for "a hours
before placing the eggs. A day or SO
before the chickens are due use good
insect powder the same way the sui
phur was put on. Have a dust bath
handy and the hen will do the rest.
When the chicks are Matched look for
vermin on their heads. If any, rub a
small quantity of any fresh grease where
you see them. Do not take the hen
and newly-hatchedg chicks out of the
nest ut once, but let them brood for a

Lime Inc Is much used, and very often
at the same time, a much abused ma,
terlaE on the farm. It has Il very i'm
portant role to play, and, il handled
IN the proper manner, is valuable aid
to the farmer. There are many who
use this material again and again
with q mistaken notion as to its true
functions in the soil. In time, how
ever, their experience teaches them the
true place of lime in agriculture, but
often their lands have been almost
exhausted before they gain their wis
dom. While lime has value as a
plant food, yet it's greatest worth on
the farm is due to its physical effect
on the soil itself. 1t is very seldom
that q soil does not contain sufficient
quantity of lime to furnish this ingre-
dent as plant food pure and simple.
Briefly described, the actions of lime
are as follows: If applied on a sandy
soil It fills up the openings. makes the
particles adhere closer, causes them
to retain moisture better, to absorb
less heat during the day and to retain
more at night. On clay soils it sepa-
rates the particles, making the soil
more porous, thus easier or the pas
sage of water and air, and therefore
makes the soil warmer and easier to
work. Lime also hastens the decay of
vegetable matter in the soil, which of
course renders the nitrogen more avail
able. If q soil is sour, an application
OF lime will sweeten it. If a green
crop is plowed under, an application of
lime will prevent the soil from becom-
ing acid. There is one effect of lime
that has no doubt frequently been no.
ticed, although wrong conclusions have
been drawn from It. It has often been
experienced that an application of
lime proves very beneficial to clovers of
III kinds. It was formerly thought
that the lime itself was tie only fer
tilizer needed for the clover; it is now
known, however, that the beneficial ac-
ton of the lime upon clover is due to
the fact that the lime liberates other
plant food in the soil, notably potash,
which is of so much Importance in sue
:essful clover culture. It will be seen,
however, that the continued applica-
ton of lime along would soon cause the
soil to become exhausted of it's natu-
raj supply, not only of potash, but also
OF phosphoric acid, and in time the
land would become clover sick, which is
a condition often met with.-Farmers'

American Rainmakers' Plan Used to
.-.@ Prevent Storms.
Possibly it was from noticing the I'M
successful attempts made by the would
be rainmakers in the United States to
bring down showers when wanted that
an ingenious Austrian grape grower
was induced to exactly reverse the
American practice. An account of his
experiment is reported by United
States Consul Stephan at Annaberg.
The Austrian owned extensive vine
yards situated on the southern slopes
of the mountains, in locality often
visited by destructive hailstorms. At
first he tried galvanized wire, and he
decided to install battery and test the
plan of causing explosions to drive off
the hailstOrms. He erected six stations
on prominent mountain SUBMITS COM
harding territory about two miles
in extent. Each station sheltered ten
mortars and corps of volunteers
handled them. The practical test is
thus described:
Threatening black clouds made their
appearance on the SUBMITS of the
Bacher mountains. At given signal
all the mortars were fired off and the
continuous detonations in few mo-
ments caused a sudden reaction in the
movements of the clouds. The cloud
wall opened up funnel-lil<e; the mouth
of the funnel began to rise in the form
of consecutive rings, expanding gradu-
ally until all the clouds scattered and
entirely disappeared. No hail nor sud-
den downpour of rain fell. The same
experience was gone through six times
last summer, and without single ex-
csption proved successful preventive

CIGARS AND THEIR MAKERS.

Each Havana Box Has Six Marks and
the Cigar Makers Have a Cinch.
'How many, WONDER" said a dealer,
''have ever noted ON every box of cigars
packed in Havana six distinctive marks
First there is the brand which is burned
in the upper side of the lid of the box
with an iron made for that purpose;
second, the label; third, the mark des-
ignating the size and shape of the cigars,
which is usually put on with a stencil;
fourth, the color mark, which is also
put on with a stencil; fifth, the class
mark, and sixth, the mark usually put
on with stencil denoting the number of
cigars in the box. "
There are not so many regular sizes,
or vitolas, made in Havana as might be
imagined-21, believe, is the whole
number of sizes-while all the cigars
made in Havana are separated into
three classes; some manufacturers di-
vide them into primera, or first, secunda,
or second, and tercera, or third; while
still other makers call the first class
flora, the second primera, and the third
secunda.
GAS general rule, one workman
makes only one kind of cigar; for ex-
ample, one makes only londres, another
only regalias, and so on. And when
man has become a skilled cigarmaker
he has things pretty much his own way;
if the crop has been heavy one and
there is demand for labor, it is no I'M
usual thing for skilled worker to de-
mand from one employer 500 or so as
an inducement to- work for him for a
season, and then before his time is up,
to accept another 'inducement' from
another manufacturer for the balance
of the season..
"Not only this, but the workmen in
sist on having their wages paid to them,
first at nine o'clock in the morning,
when they go to breakfast, then at noon,
and again at night. And not only this,
but each workman is allowed five cigars
day, and you may be sure they select
only the best ones."-Epicure..

How Nature Builds Roclxcries.

The fact is, the rockery, to be a sue
cess must be an evolution instead of a
creation. Attempt to construct one
after any set plan and you are sure
to fail. The most satisfactory one ever
saw was one that made itself, so to
speak. The stones of which it was COM
posed were hauled in winter and
dumped down carelessly in great heap
In spring the owner looked them over
and came to the conclusion that it
would be impossible for him to arrange
them in a more picturesque manner,
and he had the good sense not to at
tempt it. He worked earth in between
them and planted wild vines and ferns
there, and his rockery was success.
II possible, q rockery should be located
in q secluded portion of the grounds.
Rockeries as nature makes them are
generally in secluded hooks, where all
kinds of wild things feel at home, and
we should try to carry ont as complete

which prevails in natures haunts--to
domesticate wildness, so to speak. This
cannot be done satisfactorily where
the grounds are close to the street. IL
the grounds are too small to allow you
to give the rockery place at some dis
