OF the California Experiment S:atioa,
describes il detail the process OF fH.
migating trees in al orchard. Briefly,
it co2sists in covering ths trees with
some sort Of tent. generating the gas
aud allowing i. to remain until tue
scales have been destroyed.
The tent generally used IS what il
known asa hoop tent and ranges from
eight to fourteen feet in diameter.
The hoop Itself is Of three-quarter-
inca gas pipe, but half inca will do for
smaller sizes. The manipulation OF
tho tent varies according to ITS size.
II tie trees are small, it can be easily
thrown over tree, put in place and
then taken of. II the trees are OF con-
siderable size some effort will be re.
quired. In the illustration the method
os changing from one tree to another
is shown. After tbs fumigation is
Completed, the hoop is lifted until it
IS IN the position shown at b. Two
men, holding the sides Of the tent,
carry 1t 10 the next tree ard place it in

SHIFTING TIE TENT FROM ONE TREE 10 ANOTHER.

ounce canvas. After tie tent is made,
it is re2 lerei gastight by oae OF three
methods. The first is coating it with
thoroughly boiled linssed oil, applied
with brush until the entire cloth be-
comes saturated. Ii properly done,
the tent remains strong and tight and
is not loo stiF. The second method
is the use of sizing aaa paint. The
sizing is applied in the same manner
as oil, and penetrates the fiber IN the
same way. AS soon as this coating is
dried, it is followed by coating o:
flexible paiut, usually on both sides OF
the tent. The third method is to satu.
rate the cloth with a decoction OF
chopped leaves os common prlckly
pear cactus. This is made by filing 4
barrel two-thirds full, OF chopped stems
and adding cold water until the barre
is nearly full. Allow the stems to soas
for twenty-:our hours aud then dra"
of the solution, which is ready fol
use. Tents treated in this way a1t
liable to mold, but by adding 10 tie
solution a little tannin this is pre-
vented. Soak the tent in tue solution
over night and then raise in the morn
ing and allow to dry. The cloth !:
| scarcely stifened and seems to be very
satisfactory. Potassium cyanide, II
an earthen vessel, is introduced under
the end of the tent, sulphuric acid /:
added, and the hydrocyanie gas IS gen
Grated. The amount OF cyanide vii
vary with the size OF the tree. 4 tres
four feet high, three feet in diameter
will require two ounces OF dry cyanide
one-third ounce acid and half oanc'
water. If the tree is seven feet higI
and four feet in diameter, use on
ounce os cyanide, one-half ounce acl'
and two ounces Of water, and SO on II
proportion. Forty minutes are re
auired for the gas to do its work e.
iectively. The fumigation is best don
at night. The gas is deadly poison
and great care must be used when fu
migating. ng.-American Agriculturlst.

 Where is your marriage license?' asked the bishop of the bridegroom. MT. Pease had forgotten to secure the license. Recourse was had to the tel ephone and from the county court house came the information that the bridegroom must take out the license personally. MT. Pease and the best man jumped into a carriage, drove four miles to the court house and got the license, while the bride and three hundred guests waited for their re- turn.

 were four candidates Many fervent prayers were offered that God should direct them to select the right man. When the moment arrived for the elec- tion four bishops were brought for
 ward. One contained a blank slip of paper, but no one knew in which book 1t was. The candidates were then asked to come forward and select a bible The one with the prize fell to the lot Of the Rev. Abraham Herr of New Danville. He asked for prayers in the discharge of his new duties and was then consecrated, the sermon be- ing preached by the Rev. Jacob Bru- baker of Mount Joy.

 John Johnston is the last man to de- stroy the tranquility of Stafford. John son came 10 Sahon1 from Clifton where he killed a man a few months ago. In Stafford he took charge of the saloon of Hood Porter, and a difficulty arose In settling the accounts Porter &C., cused Johnson of stealing money and the latter started in quest of a gun. He was refused at several places and he got pistol at his house, returning on a horse. Tn the meantime Porter had been notified of Johrson's move ments and armed himself. Tha chamber of I,5 pistol contained but three cartridges. He opened fire on Johnson as he rode up. and the fire was promptly returned The spectators were in the most danger and few shots narrowly missed talk ing effect. Neither of the duel:sts were shot. When Porter had dis charged his three bullets he sought refuge around a corner. During the firing he had crouched On the ground and taken deliberate aim. Johnson is considered a crack shot, but his horse praEnad about, preventing him from shooting with effect. and probably saving him from Porter's bullets. After the affray Johnson repocketed his weapon and started for a Win chester.
 Th.5 two men were Gisarmed, how ever, and Johnson was put in dlstody. There was strong talk of Iynching, but the crowd cooled and agreed to let
