Kerosene emulsion is one of the
most valuable insecticides we have and
as it may be easily made and applied,
its use should be general on the farm
and well understood. 1t is made by
dissolving one-half pound of common
hard soap in one gallon of boiling
water. Remove from the fire while
boiling and add two gallons of kero-
sene, converting the mixture into an
emulsion by passing it through a
force pump with spray nozzle back
into the same vessel, continuing the
operation until it appears like thick
cream, and the oil does not rise to the
surface.
Used to kill the common insects
during the growing season, the emul-
sion is diluted one part to ten of
water, the dilution being greater
when the insects are small. Used on
animals the dilution is one part of
emulsion to eight or ten of water. 1t
must be applied thoroughly, as it is
effective only when it comes in direct
contact with the insect. A spray
pump is the only proper method of
applying the emulsion, and the finer
the spray the more effective it will be.
Many plants and young trees could be
saved from scale and other insect en-
emies if this simple remedy was ap-
piled in time, and in this age of
numerous and annoying as we'll as
dangerous insect enemies, the farmer
or fruit-grower who goes without a
spraying outfit is running risk he
can ill afford.

How TO Rise Early.

Thomas and Simms live opposite each
other in a narrow street. They were
going on fishing excursion the other
day, and as'they wanted to be sure to
wake in time to catch the early train,
they ran a bit of clothesline across the
street in at the second story windows,
and each tied an end to his leg, so that
If one awoke the other would imme-
dlately feel pull, says Tit-Bits.
The scheme was an excellent one,
and we know of no reason why, under
ordinary circumstances, it should not
have worked well.
But about five o'clock that morning
some laborers assembled in front of
Simms' for the purpose of erecting a
telegraph pole. When the hole was
dug they began to put the pole upon
end. But, unfortunately, 1t slipped
down with tremendous force upon the
clothes-line.
Mrs. Simms was very much surprised
to see Henry go over the foot of the
bed and shoot feet foremost out of the
window; but even she was not more
amazed than Mrs. Thompson was when
Archibald performed the same feat.
They met in the middle of the street,
clustering as 1t We're, round the pole,
but each with broken leg. They
wake themselves now with alarm
clocks. 1t is safer-and less exciting.

Although not the largest of modern
kitchens, that of Mrs. Jacob Astor, on
Fifth avenue, New York, is a model
kitchen for private residence. The

Possibly the appointments are best
indicated by the expression, "every-

where housekeeper and cook hold
conferences, and decide upon menus,
and discuss those made out by Mrs.
Astor herself. In addition is the
scullery, kept in such spotless neat
ness and order, as to present an ar

kitchen is without odors from a range

Old Farm Wagons.

No really good farming is possible
without good wagons. An old,
broken-down wagon, with tires always
likely to come loose and axles or
wheels sure to break whenever any
unusual strain comes upon either, is
perhaps the most expensive piece of
property farmer can have on his
farm. But the old, worn-out wheels
need not be thrown aside if all else is.
If the spokes are cut down and new
tire put around, the wheel will last a
long time on a truck wagon to be used
only on the farm. This is much bet
ter than trying to patch up the old
wagon for going on the road to mar
ket, and often paying each year
twenty-five per cent. of what q new
wagon would cost The cheapness of
iron enables wagon makers to sell the
best wagons more cheaply than ever
before. There is not much reduction
in the cost of repairing, as the chief
factor in repairing old wagons is the
bor.-Boston Cultivator.

The Agricultural Department has
just issued bulletin on the SaSxJ ose
scale in 1S96-97, prepared by Ento-
mologist l.. O. Howard. 1t is of
much interest at this time because of
the recent edict of the German Govern
ment prohibiting the importation of
living plants, fruits, ETC., because Of
the alleged discovery of the scale on
peas shipped from California. The
present bulletin is supplem ontal to
one on the same subject PUBLISHED in
January, 1896, which contained a his
tory of the eastern occurrences of the
insect down to December, 1875.
Never, it is said, in the History OF
economic entomology in the United
States has single species of insect
excited SO much interest as the San
Jose scale. In the light of what we
know. the bulletin says, our actual
knowledge of the distribution of the
scale in the East in the fall of 1895
was comparatively slight. 1t was then
TaDorted as occurring in the twenty
'.,ates, but i'll comparatively few To-
calities in each, with the single excep-
ton Of New Jersey. In 1696-97 actual
field inspection in Virginia, Maryland,
Illinois, Ohio, Georgia and several
others showed that in these States the
insect was nearly as widespread as in
New Jersey, while twelve States and
the District of Columbia have been
added to the number containing in.
tested points.
The pest also was found in lower
Ontario in 1897, and the Dominion
Government is considering the ques-
tion of legislation on the subject. A
list of fiftyfive fruit and shade trees
and ornamental shrubs affected by the
pest is given. Considerable space is
devoted to discussion of the rem
edies suggested to kill the pest.

Often, from various causes, the

to do with them. From past expert
ence, I, for my part, think it far bet

most cases, die anyway after q few
days, and are worthless even should
they live.
The deformity, as rule, is inherit

such it is impossible to get strong

The red tailor-made girl is the
brightest girl in town.
She is the girl for spring, and is as
fashionable as she is conspicuous. She
comes in every variety of red from
coppery flame to the dark rich OK
blood. Her hat and her gown will
both be scarlet. She will create O
furor, she will be so gay and so styl-
ish.
The tailor-made gown of to-day is
not what it was formerly. 1t may now
be veritable extravaganza of modistic
skill. 1t is Parisienne. Even the girl
who affects the English style has sue
cumbed to the fascinating influence of
femininity in dress, and severity is no
longer characteristic of her toilet.
The women of London are not lag
gard in matters of style, and every
English lassie who is willing to en-
hance the beauty of her bonny face
and bright complexion hastens to
adopt the wearing of red.
Paris was slave to the vivid cardinal
family last year.
Simplicity and modified Russian
blouse commend the English tailor
gown of '9S to favor. The one that
has attracted attention is fashioned of
new material, woven closely into
crosswise satin stripes, and the skirt
fits snugly about the hips, faring only
at back, emphasizing the slight demi
trains. Cut steel buttons adorn the
double breasted blouse, moderately
full in front and close-ftting at back.
The belt of cloth is decorated by vari-
Gus bands of velvet, and is held in
place by steel clasp. The beauty of
this gown lies in the graceful lines
which define the curves of the figure.
With it is worn satin straw turban.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.


There is no longer much desire
among well-informed farmers to get
the lowest priced fertilizers with the
idea that these are therefore the cheap
est. 1t is impossible TO cheat nature.
All the elements of fertility, mineral
or heterogeneous, cost money, and if
little money is given for fertilizers,
we can expect but little good to the
crop from them. When we take into
account that much of the expense Of
commercial fertilizers consists in the
cost of distributing them evenly
through the soil, it will be seen that
the highest priced, if also the best,
may be really the cheapest.
