Lime and Sulphur Wash.
Fruit growers are quite interested in
the formula composing the new In
secticide, lime and sulphur, but have
found the labor Of making 1t consid-
cradle because of the necessity for boil
ing the mixture. Recent experiments
have shown that II potash or caustic
soda Is used there will be no neces-
sity for boiling. The formula for max
ing in this way 10 this: Take twenty
pounds of sulphur, forty pounds Of
lime, Eve 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 II
necessary. and stirring rapidly unit
all bubbling stops, when dilute witt
water to the consistency and strength
needed for the spraying. The use Of
this material In spraying is not only
a decided check on scale, but very eff
fective against various insects. Ap
plications may be made In the late
fall, in midwinter and In the early
spring.

The Value of Fertilizer,

The Purdue Experiment Station has
been conducting number Of expert.
ments with corn, using different kinds
OF fertilizer. The tests show that
kainit is valuable as compared with
straw or lime. The corn was planted
the second week in June. The corn
on the plats to which kainit or straw
was applied made continuous growth,
and after the middle Of July these
plats could readily be distinguished
from distance by darker color than
that shown on the plats on which no
fertilizer was used. The treated plats
did not ripen as early as the others,
and the fodder was slightly damaged
by frost on September 81, although no
injury was done to the ears. The corn

Heme- Made Fruit Ladder.

Home Made Fruit Ladder.
The average fruit ladder. as found in
most orchards, Is not particularly de-
sirable mainly because 1t IL not de-
signed for this particular work. The
broad top Of the common ladder makes
It almost impossible to get It among
the branches in firm position. Where
one has considerable fruit to gather,
special ladder constructed after the
plan Of the one in the illustration will
be found not only useful, but will save
considerable time In the fruit-gather-
ing season.
A pole, preferably a green one from
the woods, should be secured, having
If Of the desired length. The largest
end should be split up about three feet
and a brace inserted to keep the sides

ground should be sharpened or covered
with sharpened pieces Of iron, which
any blacksmith can fashion and at

II the soil in the orchard is In good
shape and fairly rich, the best cover
crop is undoubtedly crimson clover.
and this may be sown at any time
now. II the soil il poor crimson clo-
yer IL not likely to succeed, 50 that
something that will add humus to the
soil should be used rather than to at
tempt to get the benefit Of the leg
umes. For sowing In an orchard Of
this kind rye will probably be most
satisfactory. 1t should be sown about
the LIST of September. and plowed un-
der in the early spring. and then the
summer cultivation Of the surface soil
taken up again. It is quite probable
that following this method will put
the soil In shape so that another fall

Farm Notes.
The grass crop of this country
amounts to over a thousand million
dollars a year. "All flesh is a grass"
II all grass could be converted into
flesh meats wouldn't be so dear. But.
like other of nature prodigal gifts, a
great deal Of 1t is wasted.
The crab apple is one of the hardest
of trees, and as there Is nearly always
demand for crab apples in market,
they are found profitable by some. The
blossoms are beautiful In spring, and
the trees are more ornamental than
| some which are used for shade and or
nament. The large and growing de.
mand for pure Jellies and preserves
should create a larger market in the
future for crab apples.
Roller process bran is, on the aver
age, better than old process bran. Brar
Is rich in ash, or mineral matter
which renders 1t suitable food fol
growing animals. 1t serves well witt
all foods which are lacking in line Of
bone forming material, and is valuabl,
in the manure heap. 1t may not BIZ
equal to linseed meal or some othel
foods, for certain purposes, but 1t is {
food that should always be used.

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 influ-
ence Of the treatment Is bound to be
effective for years to come, as the land
will the more readily respond to labor

A MYSTERIOUS ANCHOR.
Relic of the War of 1872 Which Tor.
 onto Would Like to Have in A lark


 Toronto (Ont.) Globe.
 Alderman Ramsden has a scheme on foot to bring the famous anchor at Hol- land Landing to Toronto, and place 1t on Garrison Common, the city's proposed new park, Rs a relic of the war of 1912. The history of this anchor, which is an uncommonly large one weighing about two and a half tons. is shrouded in dark ness. The generally accepted theory is that it reached it's present location after Commodore Perry's victory on Lake Erie had given the Americans temporary con- trol of the lower lakes.
 It is supposed that the British were con- templating naval operations on the upper lakes. and this anchor was being carried by OK team across the portage from York to Georgian Bay, and when 1t reached Holland Landing. forty miles from To- rontO, the war suddenly ended. The bur- den was too heavy, and the value not worth the trouble of moving it further either way, and 1t was left in the woods, where it was found twenty years or so ago. e.
 Since then the trees have been cut away. and the land now forms a nice park belonging Go the Corporation of Holland Landing. Alderman Ramsden's idea is that it would be an Interesting relic in this city. which originally suffered so se- verely fin that war. but of course it Is not certain that the people of Holland Land- ing would part with it.

Paris Special.

Paris Special. 2
 Domestic and pecuniary troubles have united three women into e dramatic tri- umvirate which Is the, sensation Of the hour. Sarah Bernhardt, Rejane. and Calve have combined to run theater sn which each will appear. Sarah Bern hardt,s theater will be the abiding piace of the three stars, each of which will have chance to shA9e to her hearts content. V
 Financially, things have been going badly ''chez Sarah" as the French say. and her theater has been far from doing a paying season, for the present genera tons infinitely prefer cafe concerts and variety shows to Sardou and tragedy. and while the divine Sarah' draws well her self she is unable to make her theater pay through whole season.
 Rejane, having quarreied with her hus- band and manager of the Vaudeville the- ater, has left in a hufr and proposes to play in Sarah's theater,, while her desert- ed husband is suing her for broken en- gagement, and Calve. desolate not to have married according to her heart and fan cy. after her great success in '1derodlade' has joined her sisters in sorrow" Tor mutual aid and glory.
 The three women are dear friends" now, but how long they may remain so, after their three artistic tempers have rubbed against each other during sea- son or so, remains to be seen. The nov city of the understanding has delighted Paris. which is eagerly awaiting the re- suit of the experiment.
 Calve, in addition, will give series of representations in the ruins of the are mas at Mines, her native place. Some objections have been raised to her pro ject, but she declares she will carry 1t out.
 One of the most amusing things in the theatrical world is the suit brought by Fursy, director of "Fursy's Box" tiny notorious theater. against Myriam Man uel. favorite actress, whose recent mar riage to a jealous husband forced her to leave the stage. Fursy claims that the fact of her marriage in nc way dtepenses her of her obligations towards him and demands $20,000 damages.
 Mrs. Potter Palmer Is now able to re- ceive intimate friends. and Dr. Robbin, who is taking care of her. has just de- clared that all immediate danger is pass ed. Dr. Robbin, by the way, Is Mime. d'Estournelles de Connaut's brother-in- law. and one of the leading medical men here.

oovernment by the Bosses.

Kay Stannard Baker in December Mo- Clure's.
 If the articles on politics and trusts and labor unions, which have been appearing recently in McClure's, mean anything at all, they mean this: That, brag as we will. we Americans are not a free people, Fand this is not a free country. Whatever may have been the dream of 1776 no thoughtful American will centure to assert that we have, today, a govern ment by the people. This has become a government of the losses, by the bosses. and distinctly for the bosses. And not only in politics-our gall sores there have even begun to callous-but in other de- patments of our life. For the boss Is not peculiar to politics; he is the very disease of democracy. In theory there are few more magnilcentiy democratic institutions than the trades union; but in fact how often degraded by the labor l boss! Croker neveP ruled his party with stronger hand than Sam Parks ruled the Housesmiths' Union and paralyzed the building industries of regw York City | Why noG? The trades union is a body composed of American citizens having the power to vote: 1t has. therefore, exactly the weakness of the political party. in business half dozen financial bosses. led by John D. Rockefeller, control most of the important industries of this country, A trust, too, is a body composed of American citizens with the power to vote; 1t is a business democracy. And we ind these five or six men. a sort of extra constitutional cabinet" directing in no small degree the policies of this govern ment; they control the country's money; they cause or stop panics; they ''settle'' great strikes.
 Nothing short of absolute monarchy is comparable in its usurpations and tyran- ny to the rule of the Crokers and the Addickses, the Sam Parkses and the Dick Carvills, the Rockefellers aud the Nor gans. They are all of the same stripe all bosses!
