/, J. F. Cass, horticultural Inspector
of King county, in q communication on
the subject of spraying fruit trees,
published a few days ago in the Post
Intelligencer, says; every much of
the work expended in the care of
fruit trees here in Western Washing
ton, in the way Of spraying, ETC., is
work thrown away. Many are use
ing 'tree soaps" and other fanciful
preparations sold in the market for
the money there is in them, blue
stone mixtures, etc, which are quite
valueless as insec ticides. Inspection
of the trees after spraying will in
variably show their worthlessness.
The concentrated lye solutions used,
while badly burning and injuring the
bark of the tree, are also Intellectual
as against the scale insects that are
so common here. The. sulphur-lime
wash is the most effectual spray; one
pound fresh lime, one pound sulphur,
four gallons water. The lime being
slaked, the water is added and the
whole is strained into a kettle to
which the sulphur has been added;
then boil until the sulphur is dis
solved. This for dormant season.
"a thick wash made of fresh lime,
in which sulphur has been incorpor-
ated while slaking, is most valuable
application to the trunks and larger
branches of the trees that can be
reached with brush
''By far the most destructive enemy
of the apple tree, and doing more
damage to us here in Western Washs
ington is the ''black spot" or bark
disease. This i everywhere present
here, while unknown or not common,
in Eastern Washington. The disease
is but little understood, and best
remedies not fully known. The state
commissioner of horticulture has
lately issued a bulletin on the subject
that should be in the hands of those
interested, and which can be had by
addressing him at Tacoma, Wash, or
from me personally"

HINTS TO DAIRYMEN
some Suggestions About the Care OF
Milk and Milk Cans

some SuSSeSIIOhS ABDUL tI1c SdIc Ol
Milk and Milk Cans
A creamery company in South Da-
kota has issued the following hints to
it's patrons. They will come in order
anywhere. If every producer of milk
would observe them, it would be easy
then to lay the blaine of poor butter
on the maker:
Do not drive cows with dog.
Never use anything but tin vessels
to put milk in.
Subscribe for some good dairy pa
er and read it thoroughly.
The Babcock is no respecter of
persons or conditions, but tells the
truth every time.
BE not SURPRISED if your milk does
not show the same result each time
it is tested
Never cover cans with milk in them
with tight covers until ready to go
to the factory.
Foul smelling milk or milk from
foul smelling cans will not be taken
at the creamery.
Watch the butter maker clean the
separator some day and learn what
filthy lot we are.
Cool the milk as soon as possible
after milking it to 60 degrees Fahren-
heit.
First of all, do not mix nights. and
mornings milk unless both are thor
oughly cooled.
Give the butter maker a chance.
He may know more about the bust
ness when he's as old as you are.
Milk should not,be kept in the Gel
lars over night, as cellars, with few
exceptions, cannot be properly ven
tilated
The butter maker is working for
you the same as for everyone who is
patron. He has large family of
critics on his hands, and so has troub-
les of his own.
Wash the cans and milk pals in
warm (not hoD water Immediately
after using, then thoroughly scald
with boiling hot water, laying them
on the side in the sun to dry.
The sooner and more thoroughly
the milk is cooled the longer it will
be sweet, and the better quality of
butter it will make, thus increasing
the profits and your returns.
You should arrange to keep your
milk cans in a cool, shady place
Keep them in water il possible. To
insure good milk, cans should be
carefully scaided out each morning
after emptylng, thoroughly aired
and cooled before using again.
All milk should be stirred three or
four times during the first hour after
milking. A long handled dipper is
the best for this, but any device that
can be kept clean and sweet viii do
as well.

A special dispatch to the POST
1ntelligencer from Port Townsend
says "Some criticism having been
made of the action of treasury Off
cials in assessing fines against steam
ers for violations of the navigation
laws, Collector of Customs Ide in an
interview says there is nothing to
justify the adverse comment.
''In the first place, he says, it must
be borne in mild that the regula-
tions are to be enforced hencefor-
ward and that the probabilities are
that craft on Puget Sound will be
boarded once month, consequently
a vessel must not only equip itself
but stay equipped to avoid fine.
Zone criticism states that the
steamboat men claim their vessels
are supplied with all devices called
for in their licenses. This is an in
correct statement, he says, as the
license has nothing whatever to do
with the requirements of the inland
rules of the road. Licenses cover
steamboat inspection law. In ad-
dition to this, masters and owners of
vessels must comply with the rules
and regulations prescribed by the
board of supervising inspectors,
which meets once year and is con-
stantly adding new regulations,
which are printed for distribution.
These regulations are marked Form
21O1' and are entitled General rules
and regulations prescribed by the
board of supervising inspectors of
steamboats,.
''It would be little trouble, he says,
for any master or owner to get a
copy of the regulations. In this little
pamphlet can be found complete
list of everything that is required
aboard the different classes of ves-
sells.
''The fact that man does not
know the Jaw is no excuse. Conse-
quently owners of vessels have no
kick coming at the authorities for
fines imposed for non-conformity with
the regulations, but at the men whom
they employ to take charge 'of the
vessels who are not posted in mat
ters pertaining to their positions.
'The customs department in all
cases has been extremely lenient,
having foregone the collection of fines
until the owners had answered, show
inc their case. The first fine has in
all instances been light, but the sec
ond will be heavier and a continuance
of the neglect will lead to the assess
ment of the full penalty.
'It has been determined by the de-
partment at Washington to thor
oughly correct any laxity in these
matters that may have heretofore
prevailed and the collector of Gus
toms will be held responsible by the
department if he fails to carry out
the law.

BONDS HARD TO FLOAT.

It is possible Paducah will be una
BILE to float the 5000, 900 bonds voted
for city improvements at the present
time, because OF the stringenoy in the
money market. That is, she may be
unable to do so at the proposed rate
Of interest, Louisville has just absn-
doned an effort TO float $3.50, 900 Of
sewer bonds at 8 per cent. because no
one with $3.50, 900 wanted to invest it
at rer cent. when it is so much east
er now to get more. As result the
proposed sewerage has been temporari-
" abandoned at Louisville.
1t is difficult 20 predict when there
will be any relief from the present
stringenoy. A great many people
seem to confuse the idea of q tight
money market with hard times. The
demand for money usually indicates
the opposite Of hard times. The need
of funds shows that big things requir.
ing much money are being done, while
hard times usually result from the fact
that little is being done. People who
need money and are willing to pay
good interest for it usually need it &c
spend, and the fact there is so much
in demand to spend shows that vas,
amount is being poured into circula.

The city should do something, how.

which may be true, but which a large

resents it's best traditions and purpos-

Mr.. Cleveland does not tell where
