The Spraying of Plants.

Less than forty years ago the
spraying of plants with insecticides
or fungicides was unknown, and, IL
even thought of, were not seriously
contemplated as being a part Of good
husbandry, says Professor +. Nj. Web
ster. A spraying machine in those
days would have excited almost as
much curiosity as would telephone
or modern typewriter. There was,
west of the Allegheny Mountains at
least. The need of insecticides and
fungicides, and the machinery neces-
sary for their application, has come
to us with the advance of civilization
and followed the destruction of the
forests, the prairie flora, the wild an
imals and the dusky aborigine. They
are the outcome, either direct or in
direct, of our more intense civiliza-
ton and must not only be adopted
by the successful fruit grower or
farmer, as a part of his business, but
he must improve upon them, precisely
as he improves upon the varieties OF
his fruits and the breeds of his do
nestle animals, and for the same rea-
sons. He must produce, continually,
more perfect fruit, more desirable
vegetables, more tender and juicy
beef, and better horses, else he can
not dispose of them profitably to his
fellow man, who needs them and Is
able to pay for whatever he needs.

A Gibraltar Discovery.

An interesting relic has just been
fished up from the bottom of Gibral-
ear Harbor, having been accidentally
discovered by a diver in the course OF
some operations. 1t is a gun about
nine feet in length, and, owing to the
fine quality of the gun metal, it is in
an excellent state Of preservation. 1t
must have been quite Long Tom
in it's day. 1t is reasonable to suppose
that the gun was used against the
Rock during the great siege Q779-S3),
and that the ship from which it was
fired was sunk by the fire from the
fortress. After lying for 12O years at
the bottom of the sea, the gun is
brought to the surface, to reveal its
nationality, name and age. 1t bears,
besides the arms of Spain, beautifully
embossed, the following inscriptions:
eel Telegone. Violati Fulmina Regis.

DR.. Hartman receives many letters from
Catholic Sisters from all over the United
States. A recommend recently received
from Catholic institution in Detroit,
Mich, reads as follows:
DR. S. 3. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio:

This young girl was under the care of
the Sisters of Charity and used Peruna for
catarrh of the throat, with good results as
the above letter testifies.
From a Catholic Institution In Gen.

mend fro m the Sister Superior:
''Some years ago a friend of our insti-
tuition recommended to us Dr. Hartman's

cases which threatened to be of serious

The Arabic Day.

The Arabic day begins at sunset
and the particular one which begins
any month is that on which the new
moon is first seen after sunset. Apart
from the cloudiness of the sky there
may be and generally is considerable
difficulty in seeing the crescent, lost
as it must always be N the radiance
of the set sun and consequently there
is always uncertainty for some time
after sunset whether the day just be-
gun is to be reckoned with the last
month or as the first of a new month.

The SIumber of Deer.

Deer sleep in the daytime and feed
at night How much sleep they take
is matter Of contention even among

five to six hours. Stalkers say that
it is by means rare to get within

CANADIANS MAY
OPERATE TRAPS
PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT HAS
YIELDED TO CANNERYMEN
Canadians Hopeful That 'ITraps at
American stations VIII Be Rem
dered Useless ''--Sound Cannery-
men Not at all Disturbed.

1t is announced that the British
Columbia government has finally
yielded to the wishes of the Fraser
river cannerymen and consented to
permit the construction and opera
ton of fish traps off Vancouver is
land, along the straits. Comment
ing on the announcement the Belling-
ham Herald says: "Cannerymen and
experts here concede that traps in
the proposed location will catch fish
for the Canadians before the schools
get as far in as the Sound and Gulf
traps. They say it may have tend
ency to break up the schools to some
extent, but do not seem at all dis
turbed over the danger of the supply
being diminished for Washington fish
ermen and Gamers.
An idea of the British Columbia or
Fraser river attitude and view on
this movement may be gained from
the following special dispatch from
The Herald's Vancouver correspond
emf
1T is claimed that the decision of
the Dominion government to allow
the erection of fish traps at point
near Victoria will prove q serious
blow to American establishments on
Puget Sound 1t is declared by eX-
perts who have studied the habits of
the salmon that they always strike a
British Columbia point in the Strits
of Fuca on their way to the Fraser
river spawning grounds. BY putting
Canadian traps at that point it is
supposed that the traps at American
stations will be rendered useless. 1t
is felt that this is the only way by
which Canadians can checkmate the
destructive work done by American
companies traps at Point Roberts.
The Canadians claim that while the
American Gamers profess to be very
eager to join the Dominion in steps
to propagate salmon they are doing
the industry untold harm with their
traps. Therefore they must be met
in the same way since they will not
listen to reason"

The New Suburbanism

The most marked feature of the
last fifteen years in country life has
been the broadening of suburbanism.
fifty years ago suburban implied close
contiguity to cities or towns. A sub
urban home was, as rule, villa or
mansion; and to go into the country
meant going to Newport or Sarato-
ga or some other public resort. 1t
is curious fact that Saratoga and
Newport are decadent, while subur-
banism means not q movement of the
wealthy, but a tide. of the people
away from congested city life into
the free air and freedom of the coun-
try. All of our larger cities have
countrified suburb, extending for q
diameter of fifty to one hundred
miles. The smaller cities are moving
on the same line. Aristocracy has
given way to democracy. The effect
is as marked on the country as Oh
the city. The wealth that was ac-
cumulated for two or three genera
tions in factory towns and CONNER
cial centres is carried out every
where to equalize conditions. lsola'
ton gives way in farm life just about
as fast as congestion yields in towr
life. Tribune Farmer.

Anacortes Prefers to Remain in
Skagit County

Skasit county
The Anacortes American, of which
the ISLANDER has never made other
than the friendliest mention, seems
to have added to it's staff an expert
in the art of vituperation, which he
practices under the nom de plume of
'Jack Rabbit" To some Of his vic
Tins the name of another and larger
long-eared animal might seem rather
more appropriate. Jack really does
perpetrate some very good things,
however, and we have no disposition
to quarrel with him because, in the
apparently enjoyable exercise of his
vocation, he sees fit to "roast" the
editor of the ISLANDER because of his
exposure of the little scheme of a
select bunch of Anacortes politicians
to further their own ends by bring
ing about the annexation of Fidalgo
island to this county, under the pro-
visions of a pernicious act passed by
the last legislature and signed by the
governor after the legislative aggre-
CATION had adjourned. Jack pro-
fesses to believe that there is moth
ing in it, and it is to be hoped that
he "speaks as one having authority
and not as scribe" when he says:
'The people of Anacortes are just
as unanimously against dividing Ska
git county as is the editor Of the ISL
ANDER or any man IN Friday Harbor.
Anacortes is looking for CONNER
cial and manufacturing advantages,
not for county seats, and | very much
doubt, in two years from now when
she is large enough to cast two-thirds
of the votes in the county, if she
would actually take the county seat
from Mt. Vernon Y No sir, Bro.
ISLANDER, we do your little prosper
ous county seat up in neatly con-
structed prise package, put on our
sack cloth and ashes and beg to lay
it at your feet"
"Jack Rabbit and the people
among whom he gambols have no
reason to feel aggrieved because the
ISLANDER has exposed and opposed
the pet project of a few citizens
of Anacortes. We could not be ex-
pected to support it, and not being
able from here to draw inspiration
from the well of public sentiment in
the Fidalgo metropolis we could not
know that r. P. Thomas, the Skagit
county member of the Republican
state central committee and intimate
friend of Governor Mcbride, Banker
Odlin, Gus Hensler, Mr.. Wells, Mr..
Quinby,, Capt. Davis, ct al, had so
small following, in this matter. If
they could not muster a corporal's
guard in support of their plan so
much the better. We are pleased to
have the assurance of the American
that the people whose interests it is
doubtless earnestly endeavoring to
serve have no felonious designs upon
our little county. All we ask is to be
let alone.
