THE SAN JOSE SCALE.
Only Application That Will Effectual-
ly Kill 1t Is the Lime-Sul-
phur-Salt Wash.

The .ime-sulphur salt wash seems
to take the lead now as remedy for
the San Jose scale. The Ohio station
recommends the following proper
tions: Unslaked lime, ground sulphur,
and salt, Is pounds of each, and so
gallons of water. 1t is best pre-
pared by steam, rather than by SIM
ply boiling. We may have to come to
it to use this wash, much as I dislike
to own it. Possibly we may obviate
the necessity by using concentrated
I've for dissolving the sulphur. How
ever, this does not remove another
serious objection. The wash is very
corrosive, and will cause sores, if
only slight ones, to men and horses,
if work is long continued. On the
farm we have to do many disagree
able jobs, and this will be one of
them; / am sure 1 am not going to
use this wash for the fun of it. It
means business, and when I go at it

One of the greatest difficulties
the farmer or horticulturist meets in
spraying is carrying about the pump

must be used where the rows are
narrow, but the draft is much cas-
Ter if pump is mounted on wheels. I
have arranged platform upon pair
OF wheels, which is simple, handy

four feet, making a very compact ar

small space. For spraying potatoes

and one-half feet apart, the axle
should be six feet long, so that the

LATE KEEPING APPLES
The Demand for Them Has Become
So General That 1t Should Not
Be Ignored.

The Canadian apple growers, who
apple export trade than most of US,
are considering, among other things,
the desirability of finding more
choice late-keeping apples. The best
export prices for apples are paid late
in the winter season, and it is at
this time that the supply is small and
the quality poor. Most winter APP
pies have then lost their frmness of
texture and best eating qualities. In
spite of improved cold storage, they
do not retain their quality as one
would wish. The question of pro-
ducing new variety of late-keeping
apples concerns every apple grower
in the country. If such variety
could be produced or evolved out of
present varieties, it would add mil
lions to our export trade in apples.
In Canada the powers are making
earnest efforts to find such n variety
by crossing several of the Russian
apples on native stock. The trouble
seems to be that most of the Russian
apples are rather inferior in size
and variety. They have excellent
keeping qualities; in fact, remaining
hard and green until almost spring
time; but they are neither nice or
juicy, nor succulent or delicate in fla
vor. Yet the best of these varieties
have certain flavor which seems to
indicate future for them. The too
general disparagement of them
seems to be due to lack of sufficient
patience to test them thoroughly.
The right sort has certainly not yet
been found, Or at least the right
cross has not yet been made with any
of them. Nevertheless, there are
possibilities in this direction that
may revolutionize apple growing for
late winter export in this country
and Canada. With the varieties pos
sessing all the hardness and late
keeping qualities, it seems more than
probable that the other virtues
should in time be added to them by
persistent grating with our choice
native stock. The demand for such
late-keeping apples was never more
urgent and widespread than it is to-
day, and we cannot afford to ignore
it.-Midland Farmer.

FEELING In SOUTH AFRICA.
Faith in the Rapid Development OF
Resources Is Restoring
Confidence.

''The i'll feeling and bitterness en-
gendered by the late Boer war are fast
dying out in South Africa" said Mr..
r. Stuttaford, of Cape Town, South
Africa, according to the Washington
Post.
"The Beers are as fine people as in
habit the earth, and were only con-
quered by the superior force England
was able to bring against them. Man
for man, the Boer is as good soldier as
the world can show. But by magnani-
nous and generous treatment of de-
feated foe the English are gaining the
good will of the Beers, and it will not
be long until there will be complete
reconciliation between the late par
Elephants in one of the fiercest wars
ever waged.
"The supremacy of British rule is a
good thing for South Africa, and in the
long run the Beers will be gamers by
their defeat. The country is already
fast recovering from the ravages of
the strife, and in fact there is high
state of prosperity in the Transvaal,
the Orange Colony and Cape Colony.
"We have in these British posses
sions the greatest gold fields and most
valuable diamond mines in the world.
The mineral and agricultural POSSIBLE
tiles are simply enormous. My belief
is that South Africa is going to become
the theater of the greatest develop
ment that modern history will record.
1t will afford opportunities for adven-
turous and enterprising men for the
next IS years, and great fortunes are
certain of being made there.
"While in Philadelphia the other day
I walked into fruit store to look at
some peaches, The dealer told me that
they were imported from Cape Col
ony, via London, and he had to retail
them at so cents apiece. recognized
them as home product and bought a
few purely from patriotism. We raise

HISTORY OF THE LANCE.
One of the Most Ancient and at
One Time Popular of
Weapons

Abolition of the lance in the Brit
ish army has brought out many COM
ments on its history, says the Chi
cago Daily News. Prince Raymond
Montecucoli, one of the most bril-
liant military commanders of the day.
called the lance the queen of weap-
ons and also the most ancient. It
was used by the Greeks and Romans.
and later by the knights of the mid
die ages. Charles VIII. of France
seems to have been the first to intro
duce regular lancer regiment into
his army. The corps was abolished
by Henry ~, owing to the difficulty
of finding men to serve. So lancers
disappeared from the French army
until the Napoleonic wars. In the
meantime Frederick the Great. hay-
ing seen the excellent use made of
the weapon by the Poles, had armed
part of his cavalry with the lance.
and had ultimately formed a regi-
ment of uhlans. After the partition
of Poland in 1907 many Poles entered
the French service, and BODY of
Polish light horse was formed, which
Napoleon in 1909 made into a regi-
ment of lancers. A year later Ma
poleon formed second regiment of
lancers out of part of the royal
Dutch guard. This arming of caval-
ry with the lance proved so success
full that Napoleon created more
lancer regiments and attached one
to each division of cavalry. England
did not make any lancer regiments
until after Waterloo.
