luented buoy in the harbor. The
position in which the ship was
placed, he said, was such that he
could have fired upon both forts at

Judd Farmer suggests: Get lot
Of old pasteboard boxes at a dry goods
store-they are glad to get them out of

squares to the ends of the pegs with

up after a few days can be stored away

NOTES ON SPRAYING

When to Spray and When Not to Spray
Two Glasses of Insect Enemies.
The advantages Of spraying fruit tree.
meet with little question, yet there j:
much still to be learned in regard t.
methods. From the Cornell university
station comes bulletin embodying a
great deal of practical information on
the subject. Among other things is told
'when to spray and when not to spray.
The time Of making the applications
varies with the conditions of the season,
but for orchard fruits, when treated
against the more common insect and
fungous foes, we may say in a general
way, spray first. just before the fruit
buds open; second, just after the bios
sons fall, and third, ten days or so aft
err the second spraying. In dry season
the third application may not be neces.
sary, while in an excessively rainy one
more than three may pay.
When to spray cannot be regulated
by rule When not to spray, at least in
one particular, can be stated with en-.
phasis. If the spraying solutions con-
tain poisoDs, as they should at that sea-
son OF the year, do not under any condi-
tions spray when the trees are in bloom.
Nothing is accomplished by spraying at
this time which cannot be attained Ell
ther before the blossoms open or after
they fall. More than this, irreparabIe
damage is almost sure to follow spray
ing at this time. Every one has observ.
ed how active the bees are among the
blossoms of fruit trees, and on this &C
tvlty OF the bees depends very largely
the development of the fruit. AS they
carry pollen from one blossom to auoth-
Ell they are doing kindness to the fruit
grower which be little appreciates. If,
then, these friends of the orchardist |
lind the blossoms covered with poison. |
as they will do if the trees are SPRAYED |
When i'll bloom, their death from the |
efects of the poison is only too sure to
follow, and with the death of each bee
the fruit grower loses friend This
loss is not only to the man who grows
fruit, but to the beekeeper as we'll.
Practically all insect enemies Of
plants, for which spraying is specific,
may be divided into two classes with
respect to their habits of feeding and
the remedy to be applied will depend
upon these habits. The insects of one
class, OF which the potato bug and apple
tree tent caterpillar are familiar exam
ples' eat part of the plant-usually the
leaves. The remedy for such pests is to
.pply poison to their feeding ground.
'arls green is the poison most common
y used in such cases. The other class
II insects comprises those which suck
ne juices Of the plant. This type of in

FUNERAL OF MISS VAN HoEsEN.

 Home This Afternoon.

Will Be Held From Her Westville
 Home This Afternoon.
 The funeral of Mabel M. Van Hoesen, the young lady who committed suicide by taking arsenic near her fathers res- idence in Westville Sunday evening, will take place to-day from her late residence, No. 24 Mechanic street. Her parents have found a letter that she had prepared for them in which she stated that in case of her death, which would soon happen, that she wanted to be laid out in certain articles of ap- parel which she mentioned. She also gave other directions about the man. agement of her funeral, which showed that all her proceedings had been very systematic.
 Her parents are said to be of the opinion that she was not in her right mind at times. It is also stated that she was very diligent student at the Boardman high school and that she might have become a victim of mental alteration on account of over study.
 Her health had not been of the best for nearly year past, and at times she was troubled with fainting fits, even while attending at high school, and that might have had some influ- ence in determining her rash action.
