Fruit growers have found by ex-
perience that the best time to spray
trees for San Jose scale is during the
months of February and March, and
no doubt many of them will attend to
caring for their trees during the next
two months. A very strong solution
of lime, sulphur and salt can be ap-
piled now, before the huds begin to
swell, without injury to the trees, but
If put off until April or May, spray
that is sufficiently strong to destroy
the scale, would prove very injurious
to. the foliage and fruit. Hence now
is the season of the year when the or
chardist should exert his greatest
activity if he would insur. good crop

Skeleton in the Closet.

Selected.
The swift downward rush of the
drunkard's course, as the end draws on,
would be shockingly amazing, If it
were a less familiar thing. Although
for years he may have kept his fraility
from the world, and family pride con-
ceaIed the skeleton in the closet, there
comes the inevitable time when the
spectre will kick itself out and the ex-
pose must come. But the world, ever
morbidly eager to guess at the contents
of this closet. has long ago hit on the
truth. 1t has seen the family growing
poorer and more shabby, the head of
the house more shrunken or more
bloated, and 1t is, therefore, not taken
by surprise when the end comes.
The lnebriate loses his hold on trade
if working for himself, or loses his
position if working for another, and so
there comes day when his money
earning power is gone, and this is al
ways when the awful thirst for liquor
is most Unsuitable and memorable. As
surely as morals indicate the condition
of the mind, so does the mind depend
on the health of the body, and in no
disease is this more manifest than in
inebriety. Abandoned by the wife
who has left him In self-defence and for
the sake of her children, cast off by
friends and acquaintance who were
barnacles in the days of prosperity, i'm
difference to self takes the place OF
shame, and defiance of the world the
place OF the previous eelf-conscious-
ness, and SO the helpless, hopeless VIC
tim gives up resistance, and is borne
