the San Jose scale, Aspidiotus per-

for the trouble. We observed condi-
lions somewhat similar to this at the

The scurfy bark louise may easily be
recognized by its elongated, somewhat
pear-shaped form, the smaller end bear
ing minute yellow particle, the cast
skin Of an early stage. The male scales
are elongated, with a small yellowish
pellicle at one end of much larger,
three-ridged white scale. They are fire.

give an almost snowy-white appearance
ts infested twies. The female scales,
when recent, are almost pure white. but
as they age dust and dirt collect upon
them and they soon become grayish.
The common name Of scurfy bark louise
Is bestowed on this species because OF
the scurfy, scale-like masses it forms
upon infested trees. The insect passes
the winter as purplish eggs under the
protecting mother scale, the young
appearing in this latitude the latter part
of May or early in June, and in Pennsyl-
vania probably about the middle of May.
Thorough spraying at the time the
young appear with whale-oil soap
| solution or kerosene emulsion, using
one pound of the former to four gallons
! Of water, or one part Of the standard
| emulsion to about seven gallons of wa
ter, should destroy most of the insects.

| and may beat once distinguished from

| and also smaller size. The full-grown
| female scale Of the security bark louso
is about one-tenth Of an inch in length,
whereas that of the San Jose scale Is
Only one-sixteenth of an inch In dame
ter. The young scales Of the latter spe-
cies are dark gray. sometimes almost
black. with distinct central nipple and
grayish ring. A most characteristic
feature Of this latter species, and one
which distinguishes 1t from other bark
lice having a circular scale, Is that the
green tissues of fruit, foliage and twies
are usually stained a deep red or purple
In the immediate vicinity of the insect.
This species, unlike the security bark
louise, passes the winter in a partly
grown condition, and does not begin
breeding until about the middle or lat
ter part Of June. and continues produce
ing young throughout the remainder
Of the growing season. 1t is most sue
cessfully controlled therefore by the
application Of winter sprays-materials
which are strong enough to kill the in
sects while still under the protecting
scales. Li:ne-sulphur washes appear to
be the most effectual of anything hith-
erto used for the destruction of this pest.

PROTECTING WATER PIPES.
How Winter Time Annoyances May
Be Overcome by Simple
Device.

I am speaking from actual expe-
rience with 60-foot stand-pipe under
a tank, and also with another tank
only 80 feet high. Both of these
pipes are one and one-half inch diam
etar. We tried several methods, and
found the present plan entirely salts
factory. 1t may seem rather expen-
sive, but such job to be improperly
done is much more expensive. as we
have found by experience. The dia-
gram will show Just how we do 1t,
says the Rural New Yorker. Make a
four-inch pipe of heavy galvanized
iron In sections like stovepipe, each
made to slip over the next. Every
second section should have four cop
per wires run through holes in the
pipe on four sizes and opposite to each
other, and the wire soldered on the
outside. also solder the holes up
tight. AS you put each section on,
fasten these wires so the water pipe
is in the middle of the galvanized pipe.

water pipe to slip these pipes over the

Screw heads on the outside. Then
put the boards on as shown in dia-
gram. Be sure always to break joints.
Do not wrap pipes with anything;
leave them bare; paper and asbestos
get wet in summer and freeze in win
ter. Do not try to keep the water
from freezing in the pipes by letting
water run through them; 1t will not
work under most conditions Unless
the water is very warm in the tank.
1t will form ice and freeze quicker run
ming than If not running. If you
have a windmill to supply the water
by letting the water run and also the
mill, you will be all right, but any
other kind of supply will not be

his time that compelled him to indefi-
nitely postpone the rest he contem-
hunting trip as a diversion and dream

in Virginia. The republican leaders,
however, had other plans such as jubilee
dinners and meetings at which he was
expected to be present. AS national
chairman he could not decline these en-
tertainments, and again his programme
of rest was interfered with.
Mr.. Cortelyou takes everything philo-
sophically, and lives on the hope of some
time getting away from political wor-
ries and really enjoying period of rest.
Such an experience will be rather odd
for him, as since 1897, when he became
assistant secretary to President McKin-
ley, and year later secretary, he has
had very little opportunity of enjoying
the recreation and rest which ordinary
mortals account as necessary. He has
been in the habit Of devoting from 16
to Is hours every day to his work. That
application did not seem to have any
effect upon him. for he would show up
at the white house at nine o'clock in the
morning as fresh and energetic as
though he had retired at nine in the
evening. instead Of two hours after mid
night. The long strain however. is tell
ing even on Mr.. Cortelyou, and the tre-
mendous work he performed during the
late campaign has added five or ten
years to his age.

he will either go to the West Indies or
Europe, and remain there until the 4th
of March. He will then enter Presi-
dent Roosevelt's cabinet as postmaster
general. If he desires to indulge his APP
petite for work, he will not be disap-
pointed in that position. OF all the
heads of departments in Washington

and, II so inclined, can put in more hours
Of work than any of his colleagues.

trouble during the past severe winter
The other tank is supplied by ram,
and the water is so cold coming from
the ram that 1t will often freeze while
the ram is working. With this style
of protection you have an advantage
over any other method, as by setting
lamp under the box you can thaw
the worst kind Of freeze out in a
very short time.
The heat gets direct at the Pipe,
and very quickly lets the ice loose,
and there is no possible danger Of fire,
because the iron pipes are protection.
Before putting up the pipes 1t is best
to paint them with white lead and oil,
which will keep them from rusting for
many years. A lamp set in this box
on the severest night in the coolest
climates will absolutely prevent freez-
ing. The chimney Of the lamp should
be made of tin, and should be eight
to ten inches long. and fit tightly
through a. hole In piece Of tin under
the box. Brush the wick every day.
and put in new wick every month.
A lamp with a one-half-inch wick is
large enough.
You will only need the lamp during
extremely cold nights. In diagram A

next congress, but the vacancy at the
head OF the judiciary committee caused
by the death OF Senator Hoar will be
filled by the designation Of Senator Or
vile H. Plat, of Connecticut. Mr..
Plat has for many years been the rank
Ing member next to the chairman on
this committee, and his preeminent
qualifications for the craftsmanship is
recognized by everyone. He is one of
the solid, conservative and able states
men whose record is absolutely clear and
OF the highest grade. He Is not one of
the orators of the senate, and does not
trouble that body with many lengthy
speeches. When he does make an ad-
dress, 1t is full of meat and not lawyer

its delivery.
Mr.. Plattis known internationally as
the author of the "Platt amendment
which has been incorporated in the or
ganic law of the republic of Cuba and
which virtually gives the United States
a protectorate over the island. 1t per-
mits the United States to prevent Cuba
from swapping herself in debt, and pre-
vents her forming an alliance with any
other foreign power. The Connecticut
senator has been chairman of the COM
mittee on Cuban relations. but as most
of the important legislation concerning
the relations between this country and
Cuba has been accomplished, the posi-
ton of chairman of the committee on
the judiciary will be more commensurate
with his ability and experience
Senator Plat is typical New Eng
lander, tall, angular and cold on the ex-
terror. He is a warm-hearted gentle
man, however, to those who have pene-
trated his New England reserve. He
is fisherman and a hunter of note, and
has lodge in the Adirondacks to which
he retires every year to indulge in his
favorite recreation and rest from the
grind of senatorial duties.
