BUFFALO TREE HOPPER. /,

Numerous inquiries from different

companied by specimens of apple twigs

that the apple-growing pubic is be-

these injuries was first made known.

Some Reasons for SpraylnK.

A correspondent of the Farmers Re-
view recently wrote that he7had no
faith in spraying; that if the birds
were protected there would be no need
of spraying. The attention st the COR
respondent should be called tosthe fact
that the prime reason for spraying is
to prevent fungus attacks, such as
those producing the apple leaf. scab.
Birds can have no effect in checking
troubles Of: that kind. Spraying with
Bordeaux mixture was first tried in
Bordeaux, France, to keep the boys
from stealing the grapes The owper
f}the vineyard found that it also saved
his grapes from mildew.<.5 Now, birds
have no effect .on mildew. So it is evi-
dent that the preservation of the Erdu
does not remove the reasons for spray
ing.

BUYING TABLE LINEN.
Jt In More EconOnlical to Select q Few
Good Pieces Than to Get Lot
of Cheap StuR.

/ Table linen is an index of the taste
and neatness of the housekeeper. It
is economy to purchase, only fine
quality and to change often, in order
to prevent the wearing out by hard
rubbing in the laundry.
T For everyday use that sold by the
yard will suffice. 1t is much cheaper,
though it lacks the elegance of b9r-
dered cloth. A small patterned linen,
showing the familiar snowdrop, ivy
and clover, wears. better than that
having larger designs. For a small
family four cloths for daily use, with
as many of better quality, are
enough. Napkins usually match. Dip
ner napkins are three-quarters of "A
yard square, and dozen 60 with eac1i
cloth. Both the tablecloths and nap.
kins should be cut by drawn thread
and narrow hand hem finished with
the, utmost neatness. Four dozen nap
kins, for small family, helped out
by small tea napkins, ought to suffice.
If linen of every kind is washed be-
fore cutting and hemming, taking out
the starch will greatly facilitate the
work. It is to be remembered that
linen not bleached to snowy white
ness will last much longer than the
other. :..,, ~
Some housekeepers fancy, for a
change. either the plain or the twilled
linen cloths. These are finished on
each of the four: edges with wide hens
and hemstitching above, and are made
to fit the dimensions of the table.
Handsome they truly are. But, as
figured linens do not, they show every
stain and muss. They are usually fin
ished with monogram from six to
nine inches high, wrought diagonally
across one corner in such manner as
to show on the table top. The hens
are from two to four inches in depth.
and are sometimes finished with a
fall of renaissance lace, the depth of
which depends upon the housekeep-
er's purse. However the cloth is fin
ished, the napkins should correspond.
Table cloths of all kinds are procura-

any money for a celebration, as it
had been a very bad financial year.
and for the same reason our own
pocket money was in very limited
sums, and our fathers were loud in
the praise of the selectmen for not
increasing the taxes for what they
felt was useless waste of money.
Had the times been good we knew our
parents would have given us a gem
erous supply of pocket money, and
that they would have prevailed on the
selectmen to- give US some kind of
celebration.
Thus the matter stood on the Sec
ond of July, when we boys met in the
acorn field to talk the matter over.
None of us were disposed to take the
same view of the matter as our pa
rents, and we were open to any plan
which would celebrate the day in
fitting manner. Plan after plan was
proposed, only to be dropped5for want
of funds to carry it out. Finally one
of the boys suggested that it would
be good idea to set fire to the old
sawmill. That would make splendid
blaze, and as it was isolated from any
other building, there would not be-
any danger of the fire spreading The
building was very old, and had not
been used for many years, although
the machinery was still in place. I
am sorry to say that the idea was a
catchy one, and was adopted by
unanimous vote, and four of us boys
We're elected a commit tee to put the
matter through. When the committee
met to talk the subject over, it was

L called the boys attention to- the
fact that if we were caught setting
fire tovthe7 building, we would be put
in jail, and that if I had anything to
do with the thing, all the boys, must
be bound by cast-iron oath never to
breathe a word of the matter. This
was agreed to, and the following

It is about as hard to convince SOM
orchardists that they should spray as
It is to convince others that they
should insure their houses against fire.
The two acts are in a way similar. The
expense may be looked upon IN either
case as insurance. The man that
sprays his orchard may never see that
he has escaped disaster. He may never
appreciate the good he receives from
spraying. His enemies are so small
that he does not see them approach

WHY AND HOW SUWANEE SPRINGS
WATER CURES.


There is but one cardinal reason: The
Water is natural diuretic. Get hold of
that phrase in its fun meaning, If you
please. Turn to Abernethy. Natures
way of cure of disease Is by free diuresis.'
And Avenbrugger: Mature cares for the
kidneys. That is health" And Bichat:
Health is impossible If the diuretcs be
neglected"
Put it in this way: The Water has a
selective action on the kidneys. The ex-
erection Of the solid matters-the urea,
uric acid. and extractive matters-is In
creased by it. In other words, ID causes
the elimination OF the products OF the
increased metamorphosis of tissue And
yet, notice that this is done without any
impairment of the quality of the blood. or
any lowering of the forces OF the organ
ism.
1t is better that patients go to the Spring
to take the Water, for the reason that the
psychic influences of change of scene. as
socia lions and climate are very large fac

Go to the Spring. if you can. 1t means
much more than you can dream of. You
want the Water as Nature hands Il forth.
