MIXING INSECTICIDES.
1 Cheap Substitute for Paris Grees
Recommended by the Ohio
Experiment Station.

Objections to Paris Green.-Parid
green is good insecticide, but ii
somewhat troublesome to use in liquid
form as it does not dissolve readily,
and needs constant agitation to keep
it from settling. If allowed to settle
at all the distribution is not uniform,
and injury is likely to result to the
foliage of Some plants, while the in
sects on other plants escape. More
over, it is unduly expensive, whether
used dry or in the form of spray.
White arsenic, in soluble form, costs
about one-third as much as Parisgreen
and gives no trouble in the way of set.
Ting.
How to Prepare the Arsenic OF
Soda dissolve tWo pounds of com
mercial white arsenic and four pounds
of carbonate of soda (washing sodal
in two gallons of water and use one
and one-half pints to barrel of Bor'
deaux mixture $50 gallons). The east
est way to make the solution is to put
both the white arsenic and carbonate
of soda in gallon of boiling water
and keep boiling about IS minutes, OF
until clear liquid is formed, and
then dilute to two gallons.
How Much to Use.-One and one
half pints of this solution to each bar
rel of Bordeaux mixture is sufficient
to use when spraying for potato blight
and potato bugs, for apple scab and
apple worms, or for any other purpose
where a bination mixture for flung
and insects is required.
Merits of the Com bination Mixture
This combination has been fully test
ed at the Ohio experiment station and
found to be quite as effective as tn,
Paris green and Bordeaux mixture
combination. and for the reas giver
above is much to be preferred. Thi:
arsenic and soda solution, or arsenite
Of soda, is more safely used in combi
nation with Bordeaux mixture than
alone, as when in combination it will
not injure the foliage, but alone it i!
liable to burn the leaves. The same
objection holds good, however, with
reference to Paris green and London
purple. 1t is better, however, in al
most every case, to use the combina
ton mixture as fungi are nearly al
ways present and unless they are KEEP,
in check there is but little use for fight
ing insects.-Bulletin Ohio Experiment

FOR SEEDING MELONS.
Does Better Work Than Can BE
Done by Hand.

For the past two years l have used
homemade melon seeder that does
away with the backache, and does bet
ter and faster work than can be done
by hand. The implement is shown in
the sketch. 1t has two wheels about
seven inches in diameter, connected
with reach on either side, so that one
wheel follows in the track of the other,
Between the wheels is an upright tin
tube about three feet long. The top
of this tube is six or eight inches in
diameter, and the bottom tapers to one
and one-fourth inches. At it's lower
end the tube opens into plow- shaped
hollow shoe, which is adjustable to any
desired depth. Two little sheet iron

EARTH'S DISTANT CORNERS.

There are about so distinct tribes
among the natives of the Philippines.
The Moros are the most bloodthirsty
savages known
A custom peculiar to Buddhists is
that of wandering about the country
with hammer and chiesel, and carving
holy symbols upon rocks by the way
side.
The contempt for money and trade
characteristic of Japan has lost much
of IT'S force. Merchants have risen in
social standing and have even advanced
to the peerage.
Far away from civilization gesture
language is still extant in Australia.
Some of the tribes possess such an ex-
cellent code that it is almost as efficient
as the spoken language.
The young people in Tahiti have a
custom of conversing with flowers,
similar to that of the orientals. If an
engaged couple have quarreled the girl
will separate the flower partially
down the center-one-half is intended
to represent the nSan, the other half
the woman-and it is meant to imply
that, though separate bodies, they are
Joined together at the heart. If the
lover takes the flower and puts it in his
hair it is sign that he wishes to make
1t up. If he tears it asunder it is token
that he has lost his love for her opd
wishes to be entirely separated.

courage by my silence, the wanten slaugh-

to the killing of these sprightly sparrows.
Yes, indeed. And l have only the most

mention no names-who lend themselves to,
or profit by, the cruel killing of birds in
any form"
A stihed laugh ran around the hall. The
speaker paused and looked about her. Then
she turned to the woman chairman.
What arouses the laughter!" she softly
inquired.
Il guess it's your hat" replied the chair
man.
"My haiti" gasped the orator, and sat
down with a dull blush on her faded cheek.
For her hat was adorned with three
plumes, five feathers and large blue wing!

Runner. Of Strawberries.

Whether early or late runners on
strawberry plants are to be used for
the succeeding crop is question
worthy of consideration. E. A. Riehl
says that the early runners should be
allowed to grow, and then there will
be few If any late ones to cut off. Some
varieties OF Strawberries have the habit
Of bearing the next years crop only
on the early runners, and if these early
runners are not allowed to grow there
