San Jose Scale.

Prof. Smiths advocacy of the lime,
salt and sulphur remedy for San
Jose scale is strongly supported by
the experience of the New Jersey
orchardists. Prof. Smith was an early
advocate of the use of petroleum for
this insect, and he still regards the
oil as the more effective agent in the
hands of a competent person, but
finds the California application advis-
able, because it is less dangerous to
the life of the tree and keeps the
scale within control. In a degree it
it, the boiling together of the sulphur
and lime for an hour gives a most
caustic power to the mixture, and the
salt makes the application adhesive.
1t is probable that this mixture is to
become the one accepted agent in
fighting the pernicious scale. 1t is
most effective, according to Prof.
Smith, when applied just before the
buds swell in the spring, but he urges
the spraying any time after the first
of January to insure its accomplish
ment before spring. Mr.. Van Alstyne
has great faith that the lime, salt and
sulphur mixture will destroy the
germs of peach and plum rot, and
that, i'll fact, it may take the place of
all other fungicides that are applied
to trees before foliage appears.-Na-

HERE AND THERE.

The dairyman who does not I'M
derstand the elementary principles of
feeding is behind the times. Guess
work does not work any better in the
dairy than it does in building a house.
Remember the old English say
ing, that n can buy a horse with
the eggs while the chickens are grow
ing large enough to sell. This means
that it is more profitable to sell eggs
than poultry.
Swine. male and female. intended
for breeding purposes. should be Civ
en- good grain pasture with plenty of
room for exercise, but should have
very little fattening food. There is
nothing better than growing alfalfa.
Corn, oats, sorghum, alfalfa.
sweet potatoes and Jerusalem arti-
chokes are all good food for hogs,
and hogs are good things to have for
sale. And, furthermore, these are
all exempt from the rayages of the
boll-vveevil.
The pigs voice was given him for
the purpose of enabling him to make
known his wants, so far just like
that of a politician. But the voice of
the pig never misleads. He always
tells the truth and sometimes shames
the man who does not heed his COM
plant.
Them UGH dreaded foot and
mouth disease prevailing in the east
ern states can not be effectually ex-
cluded from the west and south by a
simple embargo on cattle if cars,
empty or loaded, are permitted to
pass freely between the sections
without thorough disinfection.
During the past few weeks the
advantages of the silo have been DEM
onstrated forcibly both to those who
have them and to those who have
them not. The continued wet weather
in nearly all parts of the southwest
has shown plainly that he who has
silage is twice armed against wintry
weather.
One of the inconsistencies of hui
man nature is plainly shown by the
| fact that a man will wear hannels all

| chops and then go to the polls and

protection of sheep against their
worthless and i~nveterate enemies, by
J imposing Q dog tax.

THE HEssIAN FLY.
Conclusions Arrived Mt BY Observa-
ton at Kentucky Expert-
ment Station.

Bulletin No. 100, issued by Prof. 81.
Garman, of the Kentucky experiment
station, is devoted to Hessian fy ex-
periments, and will be found valuable
and interesting to all wheat growers.
The Hessian fly plague has become
one of the most serious difficulties in
wheat growing, and the subject
should be studied by every wheat
rover The bulletin can be obtained
free by addressing the experiment sta
ton at Lexington.
Prof. Garman makes the following
summary of the conclusions arrived
at from the experiments made:
The observations and experiments
thus far made in the field and in the
Vivarium point to the following con-
illusions, though they are not consid-
cred final results:
1. To escape severe fall injury from
the fly wheat should not be planted in
this part of Kentucky before the 9th
of October. The sth or 10th of this
month will probably prove safer dates
during very mild falls.
2. Wheat that, from late planting,
has escaped fall injury may, the fol-
lowing spring. be badly damaged if it
stands near infested wheat.
3. Very deep blowing will destroy
many of the flies in infested stubble.
4. Spraying with dilute coal-oil
emulsion reduces injury from the fly.
5. Spraying with Bordeaux mixture
reduces injury, but not as decidedly as
tho emulsion.
6. Lime and paris green in water,
and dry lime alone, r of no prac-
teal benefit.
Z. Barley is as susceptible to attack
as wheat.
s. Rye is but little, if at all, injured
by Hessian fly.
9. Three annual broods of the fly
develop in eastern Kentucky.-Farm-
ers' Home Journal.

Another storm of abuse is sweeping
over the English literary censor be-
cause of his refusal to license a play

splendid collection of curios which Mr..
Fitch purchased in Italy last summer.
The collection is valued at about $780,
600, and some of the pieces belong to
the seventeenth century.
A horrible suspicion has arisen in
connection with the loss and prompt
recovery of Miss May Van Aliens $780,
200 pearl necklace in the Holland
house, ew.York. The person who re-
turned the string of jewels to its fair
owner received a reward of just $40
and in view of the marked difference
between the two sums mentioned it
is being limited darkly that the pearls
are bogus, otherwise even the thrifty
Miss Van Allen might have seen her
way to adding another cipher to the
reward.
Gwilym Miles, the famous bass bar
itone of New York, is a young Welsh
man, who has already made a great

one of The iron factories of Pittsburg,
where by chance he was heard singing.
Several people became interested in
him and he was taken to New York
and placed under Tome of the best
teachers. His voice has developed into
a rich bass baritone with a range that
is said to be very remarkable, taking
tenor notes with wonderful purity,
clearness and sweetness. He is very
small in stature, but very broad and
muscular, with splendid chest deyel-

Selecting Seed Corn.

The practice of selecting seed corn
from the crib, which is followed by
many corr r~aisers, will never prove
satisfactory. When that method is
pursued there is no opportunity to
improve the quality of the seed. While
a ear of corn may present a good
appearance in the heap we should
know more of its antecedents and the
circumstances under which it was
produced before putting it in the seed
bin. The corn selected for seed
should be the first finely developed
ears, WELL filled and deep grained.
Those ears that are from stalks that
bear at least two good ears should
be given the preference. Like begets

THE BOY TURNED OUT.

Hia Case, Was Not Easily
Forgotten.

He was q boy Of u who was at the 20
with his father to see the sights, and as
they stood before the cage occupied by
the c~himpanzee the boy inquired:
Father, do them things like boyss"
'Mebbe they do, my son." replied the
father; but | guess | wouldn't git too

"Yes, he pears to; but l wouldn't
shake"
Don't you think he wants to be
friendsfv
-Mebbe SO, but you kin Jest wink at
him to let him know how you feel"
That didn't exactly satisfy the boy, how
ever. The "ehim" insisted on reaching
out his black paw for a friendly grip, and
while the fathers back was turned the
lad extended his hand, says the Boston
Globe.
Next instant his bowls caused a rush
OF the crowd to see what was the matter,
and as he held up a finger which was bitten
to the bone and danced about, the father
produced a handkerchief to tie it up and
explained to the people:
Hes my son Claudius, and he's a great
hand to find out things. He's just found
out that them critters hev teeth, and if he
ever gifts over this, he won't never want to
shake hands with no more monkeys"

The Seaboard Air Line Railway, OF Ports
mouth, Va, is advertising a beautiful, but
comparatively little known, region on the
West Coast of Florida in three booklets
called The Land Of Manatee." They are
issued by the Seaboard, but can scarcely be
termed a railroad advertisement, as the
only mention of the road is in a brief and
modest note printed on the inside OF one
Of the cover pages. They are, in fact, a
description of Manatee County, Florida,
with some account of its history and its
many interesting features which will ap-
peal equally to the general reader, the in
weston, the fruit and vegetable grower, n
to the tourist and sportsman. The author
is Mr.. Morton NJ. Cassaday, a writer of

country is we'll described, and the marvel

derful healthfulness of the climate are told

g~arden-spot of all Florida, and the won
der is that it has not sooner been settled
and the latent riches of its soil turned into
good American dollars. A most charming
feature of these booklets is their typo
graphical appearance. They are printed
on handmade paper, and are delightfully."-
illustrated with Photographic half-tone
plates and ornamented with decorative de-
signs in fiat monotones that make them
really valuable brochures. Persons in
terested in Florida, and especially in the
possibilities of orange growing and truck
gardening below the frost line, will find
these booklets not only interesting, but full
of valuable and practical information.
