USE OF PETROLEUM.
Experience shows That IL often De-
stroys Trees as Well as the In
sects That Infest Them.

The varying and sometimes disas-
trous results obtained from the use of
refined petroleum on growing trees as
an insecticide, and especially against
the San Jose scale, have led to the sus-
picion that the crude product might
be less variable and drastic in its eff
fects. But so far as it has been used
itwould appear that we have yet much
to learn before we can with safety
recommend the application of the
crude product to the different yariet
of fruit trees. That it is efficient in
destroying the San Jose scale if it is
brought in contact with this insect
seems now quite probable. But the
hundreds of dead trees that mark the
areas where it has been indiscrimin-
ately used, point very clearly to the
fact that great caution is necessary,
and no one is, as yet, able to say just
where safety ceases and danger be-
gins. Then. too, when no permanent
injury is apparent, as in the case of
the Seeding apples on the ground of
the Ohio agricultural experiment sta
ton, who can say that this unnatural
retardation may not after the first
application prove to be a menace to
the life or general vigor of the tree?
1t is well known that, in nature, these
retardations sometimes occur, but
nature seldom, if ever, covers the bark
of tree or shrub, and then osly in
part, with vegetable growths like
lichens, and even these are known to
be detrimental, a smooth, clean bark
being always desirable. In the use of
refined petroleum one of the most per-
picking phenomenon observed was the
fact that equally careful applications,
made by the same person, with the
same grade of oil, would give almost
opposite results. Here recommends
ton of the refined product for general
use has, in many cases, resulted dis
astrously and brought no little dis
repute to the chronological fraternity
of this country. The most that can
now be said for the refined product
is that ten to twenty per cent. mix
ture with water constitutes a fairly
successful summer wash and destroys
the young scale, thereby checking the
increase and spread until applications
of whale oil soap mixtures can be
made.-Prof. F. NJ. Webster, in Farm
ers' Review.

centrate upon them, feed for a short
time, and then deposit their eggs.
These trap plants can be sprayed
thoroughly with paris green and water
at the rate of four ounces in 40 gall
Ions. The poison can be applied dry
by mixing one pound of paris green
in 100 pounds of common -four or land
plaster.
The insects attacking young buds
should be collected by hand at first. A
couple of small boys with tin pals or
pans containing about one pint of
water and teacupful of kerosene can
catch the beetles by bending the young
plants over the vessel and shaking
them slightly, care being taken not
to break them off As soon as the
plants begin to leaf out, they can be
sprayed or busted with paris green.
If the young larvae or worms are
brushed off on the dry, hot, sandy soil,
during the middle of the day, many
of them are destroyed.
The fight in combating this pest
should begin now to save the crop both
this and next year. As soon as the cut
ting season is over and before the old
vines have become veritable breeding
beds for the beetle, spray or dust thor
oughly. The insects spend the win
ter as adults and hide any place they
can find protection. If, therefore, the
early and late broods are destroyed,
the greatest number of them can be
prevented from reaching maturity. If
the first brood now depositing its eggs
is fought persistently, the second gem
Grafton will not be so difficult to ham
die. If both broods are allowed to
breed without any attempt to destroy
them. next years asparagus crop will
be in great danger.-Orange Judd

SPORT IN WESTERN CANADA.
While the Farmers Grain Is RipeninR
and His stock Growing Fat, He
May Have Plenty of Shooting.

There is probably no country on
the American Continent where the
life of the farmer carries with it
that assurance of comfort and sue
cess as does Western Canada. Nor
is there to be found anywhere else
such a pleasant combination. Game
abounds everywhere and nowhere
does it afford such perfect amuse-
ment. A noted sportsman writing of
the favorite pastime says: There is
one particular spot where | saw a
man drop 20 mallards one morning,
they dropped in open water or on
fiat prairie. At the right season of
the year you can see black lines and
triangles cut sharply out against the
sky all round you, moving very
swiftly, and you begin to wonder
whether you have enough cartridges
to hold out. You can hear the
prairie-chicken growing like barn
door fowls; and little to the north
east is a bit of marshy ground. cat
tie poached, and dappled with gleam-
ing pools, where the snipe are near
ly as thick as mosquitoes. A thin
column of blue smoke curling up in
the distance shows you where a few
wandering Indians have pitched their
camp, but there is no other indica-
ton of civilization in sight. Still,
the neighborhood is well-settled. and
a short drive will bring you to a
farmhouse where you can buy the
finest butter and the freshest eggs
for uncivilized prices.
"A very short railway journey will
bring you to a country full of deer
and the lordly wapiti, the king of
the deer tribe the world over; and
down on the fat, DOGGY land by the
lake shores the moose will stand
knee-deep in water on the summer
evenings, ready to lie down when the
flies get bothering. All day YOU
breathe the wild free air of the
prairie, and at night you are lulled
to sleep by the surge and ripple and
splash of the waves on the beach,
broken now and then by the weird
banshee-cry of strange waterfowl"

A Point Worth Considering.

A close observer has well said that
birds have different tastes from
men; as a rule they prefer bitter,
sour or insipid fruit. We should
never destroy such species as the
wild cherry, wild grape. elder, black
berry, juneberry, mulberry, dogwood,
Virginia creeper, h,cFthorn; s"mach,
bittersweet and others. BY encour-
aging such plants we are approach
ing solution of the problem, that
will preserve for our own benefit
both the cultivated fruit and the
birds" This is a point that we think
many people have overlooked. Where
birds are most destructive is in local.

that growing in the farmers garden.

The Fruft Bark Beetle,

A pest discussed at some length
in a recent New York bulletin is the
fruit bark beetle. This was especial
ly prevalent last season and did
much damage in peach orchards in
western New York, and i'll some scat
tered plum and cherry plantations.
On peaches its principal injury was
due to punctures of the bark on the
trunk and larger limbs, through
which the sap oozed and formed gum
my excrescences. On plum and cher
~, however, more injury was done by
punctures in the twigs, causing death
of the foliage. The natural home OF
this insect is in dead bark, so all
brush piles and dead trees should be
removed from the orchards. Caustie
washes upon trunks and branches
serve as a preventive measure, and
cutting off and burning the infested
twigs destroys many of the beetles.

A REMARKABLE RECOVERY.
Young Mans Back, Broken at a

While dancing at Glendale, L. L.,
last August Joseph Lennon fell from
the platform and injured his back.
He was sent to the hospital at ia

spinal column were operated on. Len
non rallied after the operation, but
while he could read and talk he had
no control over either his arms or
legs. Before DR.. Herbert X. Noble
performed the operation he perform
ed a similar one on a dead body. 1t
took him four hours to remove the
broken portions of bone from Len
mons spine.
A few weeks after the operation
Lennon was able to sit up in bed, and
in February he was able to move his
toes little. Gradually he has recov-
cred the use of all his limbs, and
about the middle of March he was
able to stand up. Gradually he gain
ed until he could stand alone, and
last Monday he took four steps alone.
Since then he has walked the entire
length of the ward alone.

RAIN AND SUNSHINE.
Scientists Claim They Are the De-
termining Factors in FIavoring
Berries and Melons

There are years when fruit has not
the flavor usually belonging to it, Es-
pecially is this the case with straw
berries and melons. On investigation
it is found that rainfall and sunshine
are the principal factors in determin-
ing fiavors. In very wet seasons
fruits grow large, but contain little
sugar. In dry seasons much more
sugar is elaborated, and this sugar
enters very largely into the indefin-
able something we call flavor. Prof.
Troop, of Indiana, touching on the
same subject, says: IAN excessive
amount of rain is undoubtedly one of
the chief causes of trouble. 1t is a
well-known fact that during very
wet season Strawberries are of much
poorer quality, containing a less
amout of sugar, than when the ripen-
ing season is comparatively dry. The
same is true with muskmeIons: the
crop may be larger during wet sea-
son, the fruit may be finer in ap-
pearance, but the sugar content
which gives the melon it's delicious
flavor is comparatively low. Hence
it frequently happens that variety
may give good satisfaction one sea-
son, and be very unsatisfactory the
next Thorough drainage, either nat
urally or artificially, will do much to-
ward preventing trouble from this
source. The use of fertilizers, rich in
potash and phosphoric acid, will have
a tendency to produce a fruit of high
quality" 1t is doubtless true that Sc
lection of varieties for planting will
do much to give favor, even in a wet

THE ASPARAGUS BEETLE.
To Exterminate This Pest for Next
Year Active Operations Must BE
Commenced Now.

The common asparagus beetle needs
no description other than the illus
tration given herewith from drawing
by F. II. Chittenden, United States de-
partment of agriculture. 1t is not
practical to spray old beds from which
asparagus is being cut for the de-
struction of this pest. The beetles
cluster upon the young shoots just as
they are coming through the ground;
even at times going below the sur
face, attacking the young plants. In
old beds, several stalks should be per-
mitted to stand in each row at inter
walls of about two rods. These stalks
throw out leaves and the beetles con-

why PuIverixation Pays.

The chief supply of drink to growing
plants is moisture brought up from be-
low by capillary action. and therein
consists the necessity of pulverizing
the soil thoroughly before planting,
and continuous surface cultivation
afterward. Weeds are sometimes
counted as blessing because their
presence compels the farmer to con-
tinue really necessary cultivation,
which he might otherwise feel justified
in emitting to the detriment of the
crop.-Midland Farmer.

COrpses Have Seemed 10 Feign Life.

Live persons have feigned death

The dead feign life, or seem to feign

Not long ago Russian cemetery
was The scene of as weird a wedding
as ever has been witnessed, saws a
London paper. a young girl who had
been betrOthed died on the eve of her
marriage, and her friends decided
that, in spite of the intervening hand

should be carried on, and the cere-
mony was performed at the side of
the grave, and after the marriage the
| body was returned to the coffin and
lowered to its long resting place.
1t is less than year ago that a
valuable cup was won in a bicycle
race in Australia by a man who was
dead when he passed the winning
post. The race took place at an "elec-
| trio light carnival" so called. in the
! presence of 10000 spectators. In the

lead that his victory was assured.
| When within % yards of the finish he
was seen to relax his hold on the han

chine, however, and amid frantic
cheers dashed by the goal, winning
the race by half wheel. As ne
passed the finishing post he pitched
forward and fell to the ground. When
he was picked up he was found to be
dead, and, what was more, the doe
tors declared that death had come to
him when he was seen to lose his
hold on the handle bars. 1t was a
dead body that had ridden the last 25
yards of the race.
| On recent voyage the sealing

lumbia, when she sighted disman-

upon the derelict, and as She got near
enough a man was seen on board
grasping the wheel and apparently
steering the craft. No other sign of
man was seen on the ship. The man
at the wheel was hailed, but returned
no answer-iust stood there grasping
the spokes of the wheel and looking
straight ahead. 4 boat was lowered
and the mysterious ship boarded.
When they came close to the man at
the wheel they saw with horror that
he was dead and had evidently been
dead for many days. The ship, which
was named the General Siglin. had
sailed from San Francisco for Alaska.
She had clearly been dismantled in a
