Hsme-Made Fruit Ladder.


THE average fruit ladder, as found in
,noat orchards, is not particularly de-
.,rable mainly because it is not de-
.,gned for this particular work. The
hroad top of the common ladder makes
a almost impossible to get 1t among
the branches in a firm position. Where
one has considerable fruit to gather, a
snecial ladder constructed after the
nlan of the one in the illustration will
he found not only useful, but will save
considerable time in the fruit-ga ther-
ing season.
A pole, preferably a green one from
\ tbe woods, should be secured, having
/ ~ of the desired length. The largest
end should be split up about three feet
and a brace inserted to keep the sides
apart. The ends which stand on the
ground should be sharpened or covered
with sharpened pieces Of iron, which
apy blacksmith can fashion and at
n tach. Bore holes one and one-half
inches in diameter in both sides as far
4 apart as the rungs are to be placed.
: The rungs should be formed Of some
tough wood so that they may not be
made too bungling. At the top of the
pole a strip of strap iron is fastened
with a long hook so that it may be
passed over the branches Of the tree.
+ The illustration on the left of the cut
shows how the hook is fastened on.

EHect OF Civilization.

The serious problem Of the civlliza-
ton Of the red man sometimes devel-
ops an amusing side. "Bob-tail-Coy-
ote" was sent to government school
from his reservation in the West clad
in buckskin, and speaking only his
mother tongue.
He remained during the stipulated
time, gradually becoming white man
to all intents and purposes. But no
greater transformation was manifest
ed, when he returned to his people,
than that of his name, which had
evolved from the savage "Bob-tail
Coyote" to that which appeared on his
neatly engraved visiting card: Rob
ert T. Wolf.

The same sort Of honesty holds in re-

anything in that manner, but once an

Mr.. Macdonald of Brunswick House

credits carried on by the Hudson Bay
Company with the trappers. Each fam
lily receives an advance of goods to
the value of two hundred dollars, with
the understanding that the debt is to
be paid from the seasons catch.
II should think you would lose a
good DEAL" I said. Nothing could
be easier than for an Indian to take
his two hundred dollars worth and
disappear in the woods. You'd never

tage and prevent 1t from shining in
the eyes, either directly or by refiec-
ton. A light placed at one side Of
the face, where the rays can shine OBJ
liquely into the eye. is very firing to
the optic nerve, though the person
may not notice it until headache is
discovered later on. Some people have
discovered this cause Of trouble with
their eyes, and have made use Of a
shade to screen the light from the
face, but many who have tried this
remedy have been annoyed by the
weight of the shade Of by the addi-
tional heat which 1t produced in the
summer time and have thrown the
thing away In disgust. 1t seems
strange that the invention which we
here present has not been thought of
sooner than this, especially since II

Fruit growers are quite interested In
the formula composing the new in
sectlcide, lime and sulphur, but have
found the labor Of making it consid-
erable because Of the necessity for boil
ing the mixture. Recent experiments
have shown that if potash or caustic
soda Is used there will be no neces-
sity for boiling. The formula for max
ing in this way is this: Take twenty
pounds of sulphur, forty pounds Of
lime, five pounds of caustic soda and
sixty gallons Of water. Make thin
paste of the sulphur and dissolve the
caustic soda in water.
In slaking the lime, use only enough
water to make it boil rapidly. During
the process Of shaking, pour into the
lime the sulphur paste, and then the
caustic soda solution, adding water If
necessary. and stirring rapidly until
all bubbling stops, when dilute with
water to the consistency and strength
needed for the spraying. The use of
This material in spraying is not only

phcations may be made in the late
1al, in midwinter and in the early

THE HONEST INDIAN.
Leaves His Cache In tho Woods with
out Conccalmeut.

The honesty Of the woods Indian
that is, the Indian of northern Canada
is of a very high order. The sense
Of mine and thine, says Stewart Ed
ward White in the Outlook, is strongly
forced By the exigencies Of the North
Woods life. A man Is always on the
move. 1t is impossible for him to
transport all his goods The imple-
ments Of winter are burden In sum
mer. The return journey from dis
tant shores must be provided for by
food stations. The solution Of these
needs Is the cache.
And the cache is not literal term
Mt all. 1t conceals nothing. Rather
does 1t hold aloft in long-legged promi-
nence, for the inspection of all who
pass, what the owner has seen fit to
leave behind. A heavy platform high
enough from the ground to frustrate
the investigations of animals is all
that is required. Visual concealment
Is unnecessary, because In the North
Country a cache Is sacred. On 1t may
depend the life Of man. He who
leaves provisions must find them on
his return, for he may. reach them
starving, and the length Of his out.
Journey may depend on his certainty
Of relief at this point on his in-journey
SO men passing touch not his hoard
for some day they may be in the same
case, and a precedent is bad thing.
Thus in parts Of the widest coun
tries of northern Canada l have un
expectedly come upon a birch canoe
hanging upside down between two
trees; or a whole bunch Of snowshoes
depending beneath the fans of q
spruce; or a tangle Of steel traps thrust
into the crevice Of tree root; or a sup

The conclusion is that returns are
bound to be profitable In land treated
as were the plants in the experiments
cited-especially as to kainit or straw.
Another thing shown is that the inf1u-
