Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home
same care but some grow bio
and strong while others stav
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the dificultv
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because Of lacL
of food, but because the food
does not feed.

Is Friday An Unlucky Day.

The belief is widespread that Friday
Is an unlucky day. Why should it be !?
One reason is that Christ was crucified
on Friday. Perhaps 1t arises from the
popular notion that Friday is chang

NEW STYLE OF SPRAYING.
The Dust Spray as a Sure Destroyer
and Labor Saver,

The Dust Spray as a Sure Destroyer
and Labor Saver.
The dry spray is becoming quite the
real thing in the east and is rapidly
Succeeding the old sprays in southern
Illinois. The dust spray is a sure de-
stroycr of orchard enemies and does
away with the heavy hauling Of water
1t is customary to go five times over
an orchard, and this is not as much
work as three sprayings with liquid
The formula is a solution of blue Wit
riol and water, pound to the gallon.
To Stake the lime to dust put pieces
the size of eggs into a bag of screen
wire, dip the lime into water until it
begins to crumble, then put it in COW
cred box. Do not leave it long enough
to become hot. 1t may be left in the
box half day and should be stirred
two or three times. Add one pound of
the solution to five pounds of lime.
Some have for experiment doubled the
vitriol, using two pounds to the gallon,
and this had no i'll effects even when
the trees were covered with foliage.
Six sprayings with this dust will not
cost more than three sprayings with
liquid. The machine for scattering the
spray is fixed on a box holding the dust
and set in a wagon. When the ma
chine is set in motion, it makes a per
feet fog of the dust, which is directed
from the windward side into the tree
tops through a tube. Little trees can
be sprayed as the wagon goes by with
out stopping, and a big tree can be
gone over with the dust as quickly as
two men could apply the liquid spray
with two hose. The dust not only set
ties all over the foliage better than
liquid, but portions of it blow several
rods, lighting upon other trees, and
thus in passing back and forth through
an orchard the trees have four or five
applications of dust.-Denver Field and
Farm.

CLIPPED FROM EXCHANGES.

The Newton Herald announces that
! Senior Martin has accepted an invita-
| ton to address the New Jersey Editor
ial Association next week. There can
be no connection between that fact
and the added assertion of the Herald
that the lightning-rod scamp is
abroad in the land, even Sussex coun-
ty," for the Herald is a friend of Mr.
Martins and is doing all in his power
to attract the gubernatorial electric
fluid in his direction. Newark News
If the +" fluid proves tractable, and
the county will stand for a democratic
candidate, "Good morning, Senator, /"
| it is said, will be the proper greeting
to use when you meet the Herald ed
itor. But of course this has no bear
ing on the Herald's advocacy of Sena-
tor Martin for governor.
On Wednesday evening of last week
at Washington, Warren county, two
men were defeated in an attempt to
kidnap the thirteen-year-old daughter
of James Henderson,, cabinet-maker
Clara Henderson, and Lolita Bray were
playing in an open field adjoining the
Musconetcong Creek, when two men
walked slowly toward them The
girls, frightened, screaming, ran
through the stream. Their cries
brought some neighbors, and the men
disappeared. AS searching party
failed to find them, it is supposed they
boarded passing coal train.
The Carpenters Union, of Summit,
have revised it's demands and have
given up the fight for half holiday.
They had demanded an increase of 25
cents a day and half holiday nine
months of the year. Their new de-
mand is for still another 25 cents per
diem increase, without the half holt
day clause John w. Hughes, one of
the master builders, has acceded to
their demands.
And now detectives have organized
union and demand an increase of
twenty per cent. in wages. The Erie
detective force, numbering several
hundred, have taken this course to Sc
sure the increase which, as individuals,
had been refused them. Their average
pay is $50 per month.

In A TOUR ABOUT THE COUNTY

The Chronicle man while driving
through Morris county found several
interesting Inscriptions on tombstones
in cemetery near Rockaway. These
are among the number
A husbands resting place is marked
by sentiment probably prepared by
him in anticipation of the end.
Farewell my Wife and Children dear,
am not dead but sleeping here
You must by me warning take
And love my Children for my sake.
On the stone over the grave of a II
year old girl is the following:
Weep not for me my parents dear
| am not dead but sleeping here
My debts are paid my grace you see
Prepare in time to follow me.
A woman, who had long suffered by
illness is remembered by this:
With sickness sore long time she bore
Physicians were in vain
Till Christ did please to give her ease
And ease her of her pain.
This one was cut in the stone above
philosopher:
Weep not for me foryou'll weep in vain
This silent tomb cures all my pain
For death ere long will visit thee
And so prepare to follow me.
Above the earth wherein rests the
father of a family comes this warning !:
Behold this stone, warning take
What sudden changes death doth make
| leave a wife and children small
For God to visit when he calls.
Among other inscriptions seen in the
same yard was this:
The good man when he closes his eyes
| For the good man never dies;
In the grave his body lies,
Into heaven his spirit flies.
And this was inscribed on the stone
over the body of ten-year-old boy:
In the burying place you see
! Graves shorter here than /;
| From Deaths arrest no age is free,
Young children too may die.

A White Ant Diet.

A book on the Kongo Free State
gives this picture of the fondness OF
the natives for white ants: "In the
white ant month the natives have a
very busy time. The river is deserted
and men and women, boys and girls
go out to gather the white ant for food
/ cannot say l admire their taste, but
the white ant is not bad as food, mere
ly very rich. In this month he is about
an inch long. The natives gather him
in hundreds, pull off the wings and
roast him. The native boys have a
shorter way with him. Sometimes at
mess white ants Topped ON to the ia
BILE, attracted by the light. The boys
who were waiting pounced on them
and without further ceremony popped
them into their mouths"

Master Builders VIII Form one Next.
This City Represented.
The Associated Building Contract
ors Of Newark and vicinity held an
enthusiastic meeting on Wednesday
evening. Representative of the
building trades from a number of the
neighboring towns were present and
not only declared themselves heartily
in accord with the work of the AS
ISOLATION, but promised the support
of their several organizations.
The main topic of the meeting was
the report of the committee on State
and national organization, who have
been investigating the feasibility of
forming all of the master builders in
New Jersey, and possibly the United
States, into one organization, to
handle labor troubles. Mr.. III. d.
King, chairman of the committee,
in making his report, said; "We
find the master builders whom we
have visited and communicated with
to be unanimously in favor of a State
organization, and are simply waiting
for Newark, as the largest city, to take
the lead. Members of the committee
have visited Orange, Plaintield, New
Brunswick, Perth Amboy, South
Amboy, Summit, Morristown, Pater-
son, Jersey City and Bayonne, and
have everywhere been received with
enthusiasm and promised the CO.
operation and support Of the master
builders in these places. The com
mittee recommended that a conven-
tion be called on the afternoon and
evening Of May 20 to form a State
organization. and invitations be sent
to all of the local associations of
master builders in this State"

Tho PuhIic School.

The public school is generally under
estimated and is frequently looked up
on with indifference. Its influence can
not be expressed in a few words, but
its influence is the lifeblood of the
home, the community and the nation.
Any ordinary imagination can conjure
up a state of affairs that would soon
come to pass if the schoolhouse were
closed. 1t is the great sieve into which
all the nations of the world are thrown,
to be shaken down to the common level
of obedience and patriotism.-Sch

when to Spray.

No date can be fixed upon, yet spray
ing must be done at the right time if
the best results are to be obtained. The
right time is Immediately after the
blossoms fall and before the calyXes of
the forming apples close. If there are
belated blossoms on the trees after the
great mass of bloom has fallen, do not
wait for them If some of the calyXes
are closing. If the trees do not all
bloom nearly together, spray the early
blooming trees first and then in few
days spray the others. Repeat the ap.
plication in one week or at the latest
ten days.-C. L. Gillette.

strength of Eggshells.

Most people are aware of the power
Of eggshells to resist external pressure
on the ends, but not many would cred
it the results of tests recently made,
which appear to be genuine. Eight or
binary hens eggs thar were submitted
to pressure varied between 400 pounds
and 675 pounds per square inch. With
the stresses applied internally to
twelve eggs these gave way at pres
sures varying between thirty two
pounds and sixty-fve pounds per
square inch. The pressure required to
crush the eggs varied between forty
pounds and seventy-tive pounds. The
average thickness of the shells was
thirteen one-thousandths inch.
