How to Prepare Emulsion.

Preparation-An emulsion of either
crude petroleum or kerosene may be
made from the following formula:
Two pounds of potash whale oil
soap, four gallons of water, eight gal
Ions of oil.
Weigh the soap carefully and place
with the water in vessel over the
fire, using a slight excess of water to
make up for evaporation. Fit a pump
with short piece of hose, to which
is attached a nozzle for throwing a
straight stream three-sixteenths o.
one quarter of an inch in diameter.
Pour the oil into the barrel or tub in
which the pump is set, and when the
whale-oil soap is dissolved and the So
luton begins to boil, add it to the oil
and pump the whole vigorously back
into itself for a period of at lest ten
minutes. The stream from the noz-
zle should be directed straight down
ward into the mixture so as to stir it
to the very bottom. After a few min
utes the oil and soap solution will be
seen to combine, forming a thick.
creamy emulsion, which when per.
fectly made, will remain without
change for weeks.
Materials: Pump RequIred-Either
crude oil or kerosene will give good
results in making emulsion. The soap
should preferably be some soft whale
oil soap, such as Goods No. 8. II a
hard soap is used the emulsion will be
curdy, and only with difficulty mix
with water. Country I've soap answers
admirably. but must be used in some
what larger quantity than called for
in the formula given above.
The ordinary Bordeaux spray pump
answers very we'll for mixing the emul-
sion, but almost any pump will do that
can be fitted with the requisite section
of hose and nozzle. A Bordeaux" or
Seneca" nozzle gives a very satisfac-
tory sized stream for this work though
rather small.
The water used must be soft, for if
hard, no stable emulsion can be pre-
pared, and it sometimes happens that
foreign substances CHANGING to be pres
ent, will prevent the emulsifcation. If
a lot of soap solution and oil, for any
reason. fails to emulsify properly, the
best thing to do is to throw the whole
away, carefully clean up the pump
wash out all the vessels used and ~
gin over.

SAN JOSE SCALE

BY w. M. Scott, State Entomologist
The results of our recent expert
ments do not materially change the
former recommendations of this of.
fee for the treatment of the San Jose
scale, but they broaden the field of
effective remedies, giving the orchard
list the option of choosing one of sew
eral. The petroleum oils (kerosene
and crude petroleum., which have fur
nished the almost exclusive remedy
for the scale in this State, came
through the experiments with more
points in their favor than any other
substance tested, although the lime,
salt and sulphur wash gave almost
equally as good results. In dealing
with insecticides it is not usually safe
to base recommendations upon one
years experience, and for this reason
alone we are not willing to give the
lime, salt and sulphur wash the en-
dorsement that the results obtained
from It's use in the tests would war
rant However, it deserves to be re-
corded as very promising and given a
place in the recommendations allowing
the orchard owners to choose between
it and the oils. Results of further
tests, which are planned for next win.
ter. may place this wash upon an equal
with oils, or even show its superiority
to them.
1t will be remembered that in all
former recommendations issued from
this office bulletin l, and Circulars
4 and 81 two applications during the
course of the winter have been in.
sisted upon. One application appears
to be sufficient for trees that have
reached full growth, but the results
of our experiments show most conclu.
sively the necessity for two in the
treatment Of young orchards. The
scale insects on young trees are more
virulent, multiply much more rapidly
and. are afforded a better food supply
than those on older trees, hence the
number of surviving scales that would
DO no particular damage to old trees
might seriously damage those not yet
! full grown. Moreover, it Is quite
impossible to reach every portion of
a tree with one application, particu-
larly if much wind is stirring, and it
is usually advisable to make two, even
in case of old trees.
Concluding not only from the recent
experiments but in part from practi.
cal results obtained by the growers,
the recommendation for next win.
ter's work stand as follows;
1. Oil Emulsion-In November or
early December apply a Is per cent
strength Of either crude oil or kero-
/ sene in emulsion with soap, and in
February or early March (before the
bloom buds open. repeat the appli-
! cation at a strength of 20 per cent
When obtained in car lots (as was
done last winter the crude oil is

( is has given slightly more satisfactory
! results in its effect upon both the scale
and the trees, hence it should be Civ

19 per cent of ammonia. An enor-
nous and annually increasing amount
is shipped every year. The amount
exported every year TO Europe and
America is about one million tons.
Method of Use.
The material has a great NUMBER
of uses besides its use as q fertilizer.
1t is in the manufacture OF nitrate Oh
potash, which is needed to make gun
powder and fireworks; it is also used
to make nitric acid, is an essential III
the manufacture OF sulphuric acid, up
on which tne whole superphosphate o.
avoid phosphate industry depends, De-
sides a great many other manufactur-
ing processes. Its great Importance
as a fertilizer depends upon its high
percentage Of nitrogen and its com
plete solubility in water, thus being
Immediately available as plant food,
the nitrOgent in it being already in
the form of a nitrate, the form in
which plants prefer to take most OF
their nitrogen. The nitrate of soda
being readily and freely soluble in
water, is ready for appropriation as
plant food as soon as it is
put into the soil Hence 1t
is evident that the best way to use
it is by application as a top dressing
before or after a rain,
usually in the spring, when the plant
is up and needs a good send-Off to de-
velop growth of stalk and foliage.
Used in this way, the results are very
sure and very striking.
SuIphate of Ammonia.
One other important inorganic
source of nitrogen is the salt known
as sulphate of ammonia. 1t is pro-
duced chiefly as a by-product in the
of Illuminating gas from
coal; the gas Goals all contain small
percentage of nitrogen; when subject
ed to dry distillation in retorts, the nj
trogen is driven off in the form of am
monia gas, and is finally absorbed in
sulphuric acid, from which it is crys-
talliZed as sulphate of ammonia This
product usually contains about 20h
per cent of nitrogen, when purified,
but if sold unpurified as brown sui
phate of ammonia, it may not contain
more than Is per cent of nitrogen. Sui
phate of ammonia is freely soluble in
water, and has this advantage over
nitrate of soda, that it does not leach
out of the soil so readily as nitrate Of
soda does, and may therefore be ap-
piled with other fertilizers in the fall
to fall crops without fear of serious
loss through teaching during the fall
and winter. have not mentioned all

We wish to give here an extract
from an article on beef production in
Georgia by Professor C. L. Willough-
by, OF the Georgia Experiment Sta
tion. which appears in the November
number of the southern Farm Maya
zine: Il am convinced that the aver

direction. One great difficulty is N
securing good help for must admit
the negro shows very little aptitude IN
this line. He does well enough os-
hind the mule, because neither OF
them SENS able to hurt the other, but
the blacks who show ability in raising
cattle are so few and far between that
it is impossible to depend upon them
without close personal supervision.
The best plan is for the farmer to
take hold OF this matter himself There
is less drudgery in it than clerking in
a bank or dealing out groceries ana.
calico. and the profits are as certain
as in cotton growing. Banks and
merchants will furnish money and sup
plies just as readyily with cattle for
security as the same number of acres
In cotton. The question of men for
the work, therefore, resolves itself
into a question of whether the Geor.
gia farmer will see his opportunity
and make the effort to take advantage
Of It."

reople were with the Republicans for
they were opposed by union of the
Home Rulers and the Democrats, and
yet Harris was chosen. In the cam
paign, he said. the rain and mud was
not enough to brighten away TIE peo-
pie, for they came out through ALL but
they were now fully repaid in the cleo
ton of their candidate. He said the re-
suit was deserved, for the Republicans
had chosen a young man, reared and
educated among them, while the 9TH
ers had chosen another kind of can
didate He asked why the Princes, or
Lilikalani or Bush had not been put
forward to represent the people, in
stead of a man who did not think
enough of citizenship to register He
urged the Republicans TO stand togeth-
er and work for the continued success
of the party, so that they might have
their ends accomplished.
Abram Lewis was introduced by the
chairman with the remark that the
young men were ready for the work OF
the fall campaign. Lewis began by say
ing that it was we'll for the men of the
party to get together and consult over
the victory for they could thus talk
of the results of such a success. The
victory, he said showed that there was
not a distinction of race or color, OF
utilization or class, all were represent
ed in the throng which gathered TO ex-
press their joy over the verdict of the
ballots. He continued partly: The
people know that the Republican party
is. the one which will work. 1t is the
party which will not fritter away its

different circumstances; to tender his
congratulations over the victory of the
party. He said it has been remarked
that Home Rulers and Democrats had
thrown their votes to the Republican
candidate. and that this had been the
cause of his election. In that case he
said he was glad to congratulate them
that they had seen fit to vote the right
ticket with the right party, the party
o. progress. which would always lead
the way to prosperity
With the explanation that the work
for the fall was being cut out in the
form of the necessity for reorganization
or clubs and laying down of new lines
of action. the chairman introduced
Lorrin Andrews. who began by saying
that the gathering was one which was
the result of the people coming to-
eether for the purpose of congratulate
ing themselves upon the clear ana
clean victory for Republican principles
He continued in part: I'm spite OF the

for venting the high spirits which
marked the entire preceding, and the
cheers were loud and long which greeted
the appearance of the representative.
Mr.. Harris said in part:
II take this opportunity TO thank
you all for the confidence you have ex-
pressed by your election of me as rep

wish to thank you also on behalf of the

ed the equality of all men. The party
recognizes no clique or faction, it does
not recognise that the rich man is en-
titled to more consideration than the
poor man. II is the principle of the
Republican party that you cannot leg

legislate justice.
If you give the Republican party a
majority in the next Legislature you

Representative Jonah kumalae caught
the attention Of the crowd at once with
his reference to the great battle between
David and Goliath and the victory of
David, and continued that our young
David had Won his victory here. He said
that the Home Rulers had every oppor-
tunity to carry out their platform and
had failed when theirs had been the
chance to act. The Republicans had no
chance, ne said. but every good thing
they had suggested had been killed by
the Home Rulers. Let the Republicans
have a majority in the next Legislature
and the people would find that they had
good government assured. He urged the
people to not believe what they read in
the Hawaiian press as the only purpose
of those papers was TO keep alive hatred
of the haole. The time had come when
the people should accept the Republican
party and the occasion was the present
time. He said the people should not be
led away by the man who Dragged that
he had proposed a gambling bill, for had
that bill passed it's result would have
been the ruination of families and the
bringing of poverty to many homes. He
hoped that every one would be Repub-
lcan.
T NJ Stewart was introduced as an evil
dence of the homogeneous character of
the Party. He began by repeating the
old saving of Lincoln, that you may fool
all the people some of the time, some OF
the people all the time, but you cannot
fool all the people all the time. He re-
feEred to the history OF the Hawaiian
race and the character of the kings and
said that he had prophesied that the re
suit of the election would depend upon
whether the people could be fooled into
voting for a man who could not sit He
said many people had voted for wilcox
because they had been promised that II
elected the monarchy would be restored,
but the people found themselves fooled

Dole might be removed 1T was certain
that his successor would not be a home
