PLANT LICE IN ORCHARDS,
They Are Exceedingly Hard to KID
and Ordinary Sprays Have Lit
tie Effect on Them.

Although plant lice probably often
occur in orchards, they are very sell
dom found in such numbers as to be
really troublesome or destructive. A
noted exception was the past season
in New York state, probably on ac-
count of the unusual weather condi-
tions, which seem to have prevented
the usual development of their nat
ural enemies, the lady beetles. There
are three kinds of plant lice that may
occur on apple trees, namely, Fitch's
apple aphis, the Rosy apple aphis and
the Apple Leaf aphis The last is the
only one that lives on the apple all
the year round and is doubtless re-
sponsible for the remarkable amount
of damage done in western New York
during the past season.
AS these insects feed somewhat after
the manner of mosquito, by sucking
UP the internal juices of the plant
through a long threadlike bill, there
fore the ordinary poison sprays, such
as bordeaux mixture or paris green,
have little or no effect on them. They
should rather be smothered and
drowned in emulsions of kerosene
whale oil soap or tobacco. A spraying
of this kind should be extremely thor
ough, as the insects are not killed UNI
less hit with the spray, and they re-
produce very rapidly indeed.

Shepherds Pie.

Cut up enough cold roast beef to make
a quart of small, thin slices. Season the
meat With salt and pepper, and after
putting it into deep earthen dish pour
over it sauce made as follows: Put
two tablespoonfuls of butter into fry
ing-pan, and when it has become hot
add two scant tablespoonfuls of -four
Stir until this is dark brown, and then
add pint of water. Season with salt
and pepper, and boil for three minutes.
Pare, boil and mash eight good-sized
potatoes; then add to them cupful of
boiling milk, tablespoonful of butter,
and salt and pepper TO suit the taste.
Spread this preparation over the meat
and sauce, beginning at the sides of the
dish and working toward the center
Bake for 80 minutes other meats beside
roast beef may be used in a shepherds
pie If desired Boston Budget

New Lime and Oil Spray.

A Delaware fruit grower, William
Dickson has worked out new formula
for the destruction of the San Jose
scale. He calls it lime oil. This new
combination will doubtless be respon-
sible for many changes in the use of
both crude petroleum or refined oil. Mr..
Dickson Stacks ten pounds of stone
lime with five gallons of refined kero-
sene oil, after which he adds rs gallons
of water; this gives him 20 per cent, oil
solution. 1t can be applied almost as
easily as pure kerosene, does not injure
the foliage and will kill the scale. 1t is
much less trouble to make than the
kerosene emulsion and more easily ap-
plied-St. Louis Republic.

ground that he comes to realize how
powerful an enemy he is fighting. The
army is SO large that he has no choice
but to fight it wholesale, instead OF
dealing with each one of the little
pests individually, as In the garden.
The common method of work is to
apply paris green, hellebore or some
other poison which can be mixed in
liquid form and sprinkled on the
plants, 1t is well known that many
bugs escape this poison and continue
to live and breed, even when the plants
are dosed several times during the
season. 1t is to be hoped that the
new apparatus which we show in the
illustration will prove more effective
and subject the bugs to a treatment
which it will be. impossible for them to
withstand. In this machine there Is
a gas-producing apparatus, designed
to generate large quantity of nox-
ious fumes. This gas is stored in the
reservoirs on the carriage, and the
latter is then driven over the field
lengthwise Of the rows of plants. il
will be seen that the semi-circular
shape of the reservoirs enables them
to nearly inclose the plant growths for
a considerable space of time while the
carriage is being drawn along. The
gas in storage is poured from the
front of the hooded portion, and sur
rounds the plant completely for a pc
Rod long enough to kill all insects
which are harbored therein. --Louis-

THE VERY NEWEST SKIRT.
An Effective Model That Nav Re
Made UP in Variety
Of Designs.

Both in evening and in street gowns
the fiounced skirt is an effective model
and is made in variety of designs.
But 1t need not be understood from this
that only fiounced skirts are fashion,
able, for there are a 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,
says Harper's Bazaar, any one fashion
that is now announced as being pop
ular Is so modified 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 bodices
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 CT the waists
extraordinarily. White kid belts are for
the moment thought very smart. The
chiffon velvet and liberty satin bodices
that are so carefully boned and fitted and
made in all colors will be worn with
the summer 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
u he fashionable. There are some dain-
ty little collars, round in shape, with
long tabs in front that are most attrac-
tive for the fortunate individual who
has pretty enough throat to wear a
gown made in that fashion

An Astonlshed MESSENGER Boy.

The writer's for the t:nny papers
have written jokes galore about the
messenger boy, likening his speed
unto the gait Of the turtle, but it re-
manned for one of the subjects of
these jokes to coin an unconscious jest
far better than the majority of the
printed witticisms, says the Philadel-
phia Press.
The incident occurred at Broad and
Chestnut streets, and the actors were
two messenger boys. One of the
youngsters was running down Broad
street at speed that was hardly typi-
cal of the messenger boy. Another
boy had just left the Western Tele-
graph Office at the corner Of Chestnut
street, and was strolling slowly up
Broad, his eyes glued on the latest
dime novel of the Terrible Terror's
Tumultuous Times" When the slow.
going boy spotted the swift-speeding
messenger his eyes stood out with
amazement, and in tones of anxious
Inquiry he cried out:
"Hully gee, Bill! What's de mat
ter? Amt yer workin'?"

TWO STRAWBERRY PESTS.
They Are Called Falsely Worm and
Leaf Roller and Are Very Hard
to Exterminate.


The Missouri station last year con-
Quoted some very interesting expert
ments and Investigations in the de-
struction of the two worst strawberry
pests in this country, the false-worm
and the leaf-roller. The first is found
to have but one brood which matches
from the time the first blossoms ap-
pear till the berries are ripe. These
can easily be held in check by busting
or spraying about the beginning and
middle Of this time. For the home
patch or home market, it is best to
dust the patch with pure, fresh
pyrethrum, which can be done at any
time, as 1t is absolutely harmless
This is, however, the most expensive
and least effective of all the known
remedies. For commercial growers,
the best method is to use fresh pow
dered white hellebore in the proper
ton of one pound to every three gall
Ions of water. This should be sprayed
on before the berries are third ripe.
so that the rains and dews will have
abundant time TO dissipste any posi-
BILE harmful effects from it.
The leaf-roller probably has only
two broods in the north, but in south
ern Missouri 1t has three. This pest
has SO many ways of protecting itself
that no kind of sprays or ordinary
remedy does any good Fortunately,
however, fire doesn't hurt the plants
any and does dispose of them very eff
fectually. The plants should bs
moved, dried, raked up on the rows
and If necessary assisted by the addi-
ton of dry straw and the whole
burned when the wind is in the right
direction In the south this should be
done either in the middle of July, to
catch the second brood, or in the mid
die Of September, to catch the third.
The plants will at once put forth a set
of fresh green leaves free from pests
of all kinds; the next years crop will
generally be remarkably successful.
