SPRAYING EXPERIENCE.

needed spraying particularly. For
/ spraying use two teaspoonfuls Of

gallons Of water and one gallon Of
lime water. making three and one
half gallons in all. Give the trees the
first spraying before the bloom comes
out, TO insure killing any insects that
have lived over winter in the bark.
The second spraying should be done
after the bloom Is entirely gone. Give
also a third and fourth application II
found necessary. but this is rarely
needed. Never vary this mixture fof
plums, and, of course, as all old fruit
growers know, never spray while
bloom is on, as IL browns, pol
sons or kills the pollen. For apples
use the same mixture and apply In
same season as for plums. For goose
berries and currants IL IL equally eff

bloom and after fruit is started. For
pears the solution should be weak

cafarrh of the stomach terribly.
"I have taken all kinds of medi-

will say to all who are troubled
with catarrh or stomach trouble
of any kind, don't put 1t off and
suffer, but begin to take Peruna
right away, and keep 1t up until
you are cured, as you surely will
be if you persevere.
my wife, as many in the southwest can
say. was troubled with a bad cough and
bronchial trouble, and doctors all over
the country gave her up TO die, as thsy could
do nothing more for her. She began taking
Peruna with the result that she is better now
than she has been in years, and her cough
has almost left her entirely. The soreness
has left her lungs and she is as WEI as she
ever was in her life, with thanks, as she says,

This remedy has been thoroughly tested

To save the people we must protect them

Liverpool is coming to be well ac-

so great has the trade there become
that II is reported that in a single
week as high as 100000 barrels of
American apples have changed hands.
The apple trade with England Is
bound to follow the American trade
in meats and expand greatly. This
trade must necessarily be in the win
ter varieties. such as the Baldwin,
greening, russet, willow twig. There
is great room for expansion in the
growing OF these varieties and of vari-
eties in the same category. 1t means

ALBANY, Nov. Fire started at 6:3O last night in the candy factory of Kreischer &s Co.,, and before the fremen could get water on the blaze the immense building, running through a block, was a mass of flames. Next door, on Beaver street, was the Press s-knickerbo becker Elk press, the oldest established paper in this section of the state. So rapidly did the flames spread that the employees in the building preparing to set up the election returns for the morning paper had to run for their lives. Not anything of value was saved, the Associated Press opera tor at his key having to leave without his typewriting machine. By the concen- trated efforts of the entire fire depart ment the flames were confined to the two big buildings. The office of The Argus is on the same block, and The Times-Union, another newspaper, across the narrow street, and it was Ut first thought that both would suffer. At s o'clock both buildings on fire were gutted, and the loss is entire.

Columbia appear cd to the advantage in the weight, there being a difference of nearly four pounds per man. The start of the game saw Co., lux2bia almsst continually in Princeton territory, but toward the latter part of the half Princeton seemed to show slightly the better form. The score stood 6 to 5.
