Horticultural Notes
By F. WALDEN.

Seattle ana a MEMBER OIL Tie clCy couIoll, ho'o
a forty-acre orchard In the Yakima valley.
For some years past he has frequently con-
suited the writer of these notes with refer
ence to the care of his orchard. A letter has
lust come to hand from him in which he says:
"Any time get into trouble l seem to turn
naturally to you for advice. Now my man
writes me he is afraid that on some OF my
trees he has found San Jose Scale. He is wor-
ried on account of the same have written
him to send me some of the bark and apples
upon which he finds scale, that I may have
same examined Now, if the beast is present
in nv orchard what shall do and when and
how? I am not losing any sleep over the
matter. but want to be on hand to kill them
off in the highest style of the art and at the
time when they can be most easily reached.
T wish also you would write me the name OF
the maker Of the Paris Green you use" Ii
these INQUIRIES of Dr. CrichtOn were not OF
interest to the many fruit growers who read
The Ranch a private answer would be all
that is necessary. But many others have the
same troubles. hence these answers are given
here.
In the first place let me say that the San
Jose scale is not very dangerous insect Ii
it is let alone it will kill almost all kinds OF
trees. What I mean then, by it not being
dangerous is that we can easily control 1T
and may get rid of it entirely. The cooling
moth does ten times more damage to the fruit
crop of the United States and is more diff
cult to control and cannot be eradicated at
all. One wear ago we found that we had the
San Jose scale in few places in our or
chards. We gave each tree one thorough
spraying in the spring and late in the fall
could not find single appearance of the
scale on these trees One tree in particular
was badly infected. We gave it good
coat of lime and sulphur. In September
Eldred Jenne, from Pullman college, and
myself thoroughly examined it and not a
vestige of the insect could we find. Prof.
Thatcher, of the agricultural college at Pull
man. recently stated in a Farmers Institute
at Puyallup that badly infected orchard
on Snake River, belonging to Mr. LaFol-
lette, was thoroughly sprayed in 1902 under
the supervision of Prof. Piper and others of
Pullman. Certain experiments were carried
on to determine the strength of the spraying
compounds Tt was the intention of the
college to carry on these experiments in 1903,
but not enough scale could be found with
which to carry on the tests.
Horticulturists in the past have been ter
ribly alarmed over the ravages of the San
Jose scale. Especially has this been the case
in the east. Tn the west we don't worry bit
over this insect now. 1t costs some money
to fight it-that's all. Tt is not at all neces-
sary in order to successfully fight this insect
that the operator know all about it's life his

mologists under the management of the de-

his sulphur and lime all day and it would
not combine He thought it was the fault of
the sulphur but it was not. Had he used
good unslacked lime he would have found
his sulphur all dissolved in two or three
hours.
The old way was to put this composition
on boiling hot, or it was thought to be that
hot 1t works better to be sprayed hot but
it's effectiveness does not depend on being

tree,' as the saying is, for by the time the
mixture reaches the trees in the form of fine
spray it is effectually cooled If you think
not put your hand into the fine misty spray
as it is going onto the trees and you will
find out your mistake. The work must be
thoroughly done, for only the insects touched
by the material are killed. Prof. Piper says
that the spraying done in LaFollette's or
chard was done by Cinnamon who worked by
the day and were not in a hurry to get over
the field The trees were thoroughly coated
with one spraying and every insect was as
dead as julius Caesar! A good pump must
be used so that good pressure can be main
tanned We use the San Jose nozzle but some
use the Vermerel nozzle with good effect.
The main thing is to coat the tree thorough
ly.
The time to spray for the San Jose scale
is when the leaves are off the trees. March
and April are to be preferred to the earlier
months of the season. Prof Piper issued
bulletin on the San Jose SCALE in which he
details the work done in Mr.. LaFollette's
orchard Any one who will write to the
Agricultural College and School of Science
at Pullman can secure this bulletin. 1t is

Before closing this somewhat lenthy ref
erence to the San Jose scale, [ might add
that, if more convenient in preparing the sui
phur-lime spray less quantity Of water can
be used in boiling and afterwards the add
tional water can be added. For instance,
you can take 20 pounds of sulphur, 20
pounds of lime and 20 gallons of water, or
even less, and after boiling add water till you
have 60 or 80 gallons according to whether
you want to use the 1-1-3 or the LA form

presume that he adopted the custom of sell
ing good Paris Green so that people might
not charge their failures to his pumps when
the material used caused the failure. How
ever that may be, I know that his Paris

lege, tested very high. There is law on the
statute books of Washington forbidding the
sale of adulterated Paris Green. 1t is the

THE FASHION OUTLOOK.

Plain cloths and rough cloths are
alike fashionable, and plaids, checks,
stripes and cheviot effects for the
hard-wear, sensible walking costumes
Silk, lace, yelling, net, and once again
chiffon, are to be worn. for afternoon
and house gowns. Both long and short
coats, the former, however, more in
the nature Of wraps than when made
to wear with a skirt to match, will be
fashionable.
Muslins and thin materials Of all
kinds will be most noticeably popular,
and an immense amount Of embroidery
and lace and passementerie will be
found necessary to the success of the
so-called simple little muslin frOck.
Shirt-waist suits are again to be fash
ionable. and made in heavy as we'll as
light materials, but these are very
much. more elaborate than they have
been; and it will be found necessary
to have lining, and often boned
one, in most Of these waists.
The skirts will be worn short and
long-the short skirts for street wear

country-but no smart gown will be

have trained skirts. There is a great
| attempt being made to have skirts
very full, gathered and shirred on the
hips, pleated, and, in fact, constructed
in such a way as to use just as much
material as possible; but as yet the
| question is not definitely settled as to

with enough enthusiasm to make it a
desirable one to invest in for all the
gowns in an outft-Harper's Bazar.

THE NEWEST SKIRT.

Both in evening and in street gowns
the f1ounced skirt is an effective model
and is made in a variety of designs.
But it need not be understood from
this that only flounced skirts are fash
ionable, for there are number Of
plain or shirred ones that have fat
bands of trimming on them, giving the
effect of the straight skirt again. In
other words any one fashion thatis now
announced as being popular is so modi-
fed and changed to suit individual
taste that there is much more variety
about the clothes than usual
All the accessories of dress are ex-
tremely elaborate this season. Stocks
and collars, belts, sashes, and bod1ces,
are in so many different designs that
it is possible to make one or two
waists do duty for several, as these
accessories change the general effect
of the waists extraordinarily. White
kid belts are for the moment thought
very smart. The. chiff0n-yelYet and

OF JAPANESE WOMENs

OF JAPANESE WOMENe
Onoto Watanna, who-e knowledge
of the Japanese was acquired at first
hand, contributes a readable and in
forming article on Everyday Life in
Japan" to Harper's Weekly, in which
she writes entertainingiy of~the man
ners and customs Of the Mikado's
people-their home life, their habits,
Japanese women, she controverts The
widespread belief among Western
nations that they are simply slaves
to their husbands, little better than
upper servants in their households. If
she is slave, says the writer, ''she is
a very happy slave, and her lot is an
enviable one. The husband takes up
on his shoulders the burden of busi-
ness and leaves her with the children.
She shares in their joys and is as in
nocent as they. But one does not con-
tide ones deepest thoughts, ones dear
est hopes and ambitions to ones slave.
One does not earnestly listen to and
heed the advice Of ones slave; one
does not unquestioningly give ones
children into the hands of ones slave,
nor does one cherish ones slave as a
pearl. So the Japanese woman is a
very happy 'slave.'"

AN IDEAL GUEST.

"A busy housewife. to whose home in
the course of the year come all sorts Of
company, recently had an ideal visitor
She was never 'sunder-foot'' when the
hostess was at work and she seemed to
have some magic charm that drew all
unneeded members Of the family away
from the scene Of labor. If there was
an errand to be done and the children
were in school, she always needed a
walk
She was never bustling around the
house, playing the piano, or netting
the wee ones to a frolic while the
hostess rested. But when the siesta
was over and the mother sat down
with mending or sewing, the guest was
on hand, fresh and merry with inter
esting stories of life in another en-
vironment.
She had found the dainty new sofa

she talked she hemstitched. That

EVENING COIFFURE.

Great attention is now being paid to
the evening coiffure. It has been de-
cided that the handsomest gown is
quite ineffective without an attractive
coiffure, and even more than that, an
ornamental coiHure. The latter is an
art which the women Of past ages
understood even more than the modern
women. The coiffures of the ancient
Egyptians, Romans, and other women
noted i'll history, were, notable affairs.
Some of them have been reproduced
by great actresses in historical plays,
and one has thus had a chance to judge
of the splendor they add to the toilet.
The latest thing is the wreath COM
posed of geisha rosettes, which enriches
the head and gives luxurious air
to the coiffure Above the brow a
black velvet bow is often perched,
scintillating with diamonds and other
precious stones.
Gold bands are also much worn, and
green leaves in enamel, sparkling with
diamond dust, are among the other
novelties.
Flowers are used a great deal in the
hair, but only flowers that are in sea-
son, such as roses, violets and one Or
two others. For a change women are
wearing wings or highly colored paill-
cites mounted on fanciful ornaments,
which are set fat on the head. Bows
the same color as the hair are also
, much WOrn.

The ostrich pompon is in high favor.
Collarless effects distinguish many
new bodices.
A shower proof walking suit is one
of the novelties.
Boleros continue to maintain their
extraordinary vogue.
The camellia is pushing the rose for
first place in fashions favor.
The box-like turban seems to have
firm hold in the world of millinery.
White continues to out-distance all
others as the correct separate waist.
Val is the summer lace, and as such
will be most used to trim wash gowns.
The covert jacket in 22-inch length is
the popular separate jacket of the
hour.
Little quaint touches of brown upon
white are much favored by the smart
Partisan milliners..
The fur hat, trimmed with flowers,
is an inconsistency well liked by smart
women with money a-plenty.
Velvet flowers are used extensively.
also fruits, and even vegetables are
said to be the coming favorites.
Buckles for garniture or girdles are
made larger and richer than ever,
either simply chased or jeweled.
The liking for yellow which would
seem to characterize this season is
seen to advantage IN cotton gowns.
One Of the newest lac,s is Point de
Lierre It is a machine lace, made Of
heavy indentations on wash blonde
net
Wide ribbons that are from four and
half to eight inches wide are the
ones favored by Dame Fashion this
season.
Draped sashes of liberty satin with
a pointed front will accompany many
dainty yet quaint summer costumes Of
bastite, fowered muslin, etc.
A dainty little collar Of white silk
has lace medallions inserted in it's
points and the inlet is surrounded with
hand embroidery in black silk.
It is needless to mention the extra
ordinary prominence and favor ac-
corded to the ostrich plume, which is
used on all fine hats, small as well as
large

gowns and also with yelling gowns.
There is quite change in the fash
ion of the stock collars They are
wider, so that they cover the band of
the collar; or, as is evident with the
summer gowns. the collarless neck is
to be fashionable. There are some
dainty little collars, round in shape,
