SAN JOSE SCALE.

A Pest of the First Class and How

The San Jose scale infests nearly ev-

the garden, although it is not equally
destructive ON all. 1t seldom occurs on
blaekberries and raspberries so as to
be injurious. on all fruit trees except
cherry and ounce il is destructive.

scale. In spring growth is resumed. At
almost any time after midsummer an
infested tree will show moving larvae,
the almost snow white recent sets and
every stage fEom that point through
gray to a black scale.
Reproduction continues throughout
the summer, and single pair. starting
in June, may become the ancestors of
over 4 thousand million examples be-
fore the season closes. Reproduction is
usually most active in September, and
throughout that month larvae occur in
abundance ON infested trees. 1t is the
season at which spread is most general.
The crawling larvae get upon any
thing, including the backs of beetles and
the feet of birds, and are carried con-
siderable distances. An insect that at
tacks so many different kinds of
plants, that breeds SO abundantly and
that has no natural enemies to keep it
in real check is of course a pest of the
first class, and so all gardeners have
found it.

1t is much easier, to say nothing of
being more humane, TO dehorn calves
when they are young, preferably when
from three to four days old Clip the
hair away from the button, take a
stick of caustic potash wrapped in
some material to protect the fingers,
moisten one end with water and rub
gently over the button until the skin
becomes slightly raw and smarts lit
tie. In few days a scab will form,
which will soon disappear, and, If the
work is properly done, will leave the
calf without horns. One application Is
usually enough, but in case the horns
start again the application can be re
peated Care should be taken that
none of the caustlc potash runs down
over the hair to injure the eyes and
skin In case the horns break through
the skin before the caustic Is applied 1t
will probably be necessary to use a
knife to cut off the button, after which
a little caustic potash can be rubbed
over the exposed surface.

Bordeaux mixture should be pre-
pared as follows:
Copper sulphate (blue vitriol or
bluestone) ........................ pounds
Unslaked stone lime .............. pounds
Water ............................. 80 gallons
To prepare the mixture most CON
veniently and economically stock solu-
tiOns of the ingredients should be
made. Secure four barrels, holding at
least fifty gallons each, in addition to
the barrel which is to be used for the
spray pump. Place 100 pounds of
good fresh stone lime in one barrel
md slake the lime by adding water
slowly, allowing the lime to crack and
crumble. After the lime has been
thoroughly slaked add sufficient water
to fill the barrel. When the whole is
thoroughly mixed, as it should be be-
fore it is used, it will contain two
pounds of lime TO each gallon.
To prepare the stock solution of cop
per sulphate place 100 pounds of cop
per sulphate in stout. coarse sack
and suspend it in another barrel, which
should be filled with water. The blue
stone win be dissolved in a day or two
if placed as near the top of the barrel
as possible Never place the copper
sulphate in the barrel loose, as it will
take much longer time to dissolve
and will require much stirring Each
gallon of this solution will now contain
two pounds of copper sulphate.
Make two half barrels by saving one
Of the fifty gallon barrels through the
middle and put two gallons of the stock
limc-that is. four pounds-in one bar
rel and add sufficient water to make
about twenty-five gallons. Stir this

The Council will begin the year s
work with no debt and a large
balance in the treasury-about
$4,000 or $4,000. We hope the
Council will begin some public i'm
provements at once. The idea Of
Mayor Kirkland to put an iron
fence around the City Building,
sod the lawn and beautify the
city grounds is a good one. We
need a new wharf for the ferry
landing. Water street should be
paved on the upper end. The
Council should get to work, i'm
prove the city and give men en-
ployment. The people favor i'm
provements. and no city can hope
to grow that does not push

Do not delude yourself with
the thought, ladies, that your
ankles are fascinating and that to
show them to advantage makes
them doubly fascinating. 1t IS
the fact that they are hidden
which makes them attractive, not
their intrinsic beauty. When your
ankle becomes a fact instead OF
an illusion it loses its allurements.
Of course, you have seen men
straining to catch a glimpse of a
pretty ankle beneath rufied
skirt on a rainy day, but if the
same. girl had worn a rainy-day
skirt up to her shoe-tops, the men
would not even have turned their
heads to look at her. The sight OF
an ankle is like a kiss, worth
while only when it must be
sought after and most enjoyable
when it is stolen.

Rich Woman's Bath.

When that massive pile of ugliness
in Fifth avenue is finished and Senator
Clark takes up his residence there. his
young wife will have the most lux
urious bathroom in the world. II will
excel in its appointments the most
sumptuous baths of the early Romans.
and, beside it the bath OF the modern
Oriental-which is good deal more
of a fable than a fact-will pale into
insignificance Onyx, alabaster and
the finest marble ever Quarried enter
into it's construction. There are show
ers and needles and plunges. and the
water will be filtered and will be as
pure and clear as crystal.
But the one novelty Mrs. Clark will
possess which even Caesar did not en-
joy will be an ingenious arrangement
of tiny faucets from which rare per-
fumes may be drawn and the water i'm
pregnated with their sensuous odors.
She may bathe in softened water
which exhales the scent of the gera-
-ium, or the violet or altar of roses.
The idea is a new one, and 1t is the
invention of a Pittsburg genius who
got carte blanche to design the most
luxurious and artistic bathroom in the
United States.

pany, yesterday announced the ap-
pointment of w. A. Deuel. as general
superintendent of those companies in
place Of A. c. Ridgway, who recently
resigned to take the position of gen
eral manager of the Denver & Rio

ment is effective May 1st.
The appointment of Mr.. Deuel. as
general manager of the Moffat railroad
interests comes as surprise to the
railroad world. Mr.. Deuel. has, since
he began his career as railroad man,
with the exception of few years in
the service of the Denver & Rio

Pacific system. 1t was thought that
he was a fixture with this road, and
that he would never again leave its en-
ploy. He was for many years a resi-
dent Of Denver and Pueblo, and is one
of the most widely-known and popular
railroad men in the West.

Letter mines are not worked on Sun
day. thus allowing gas to accumulate
in the lower workings.

five miners had descended into the

Five Dollars Easily Earned.

All boys like to earn few pennies
now and then, but Mark Twain tells
of very unusual way in which he
once made the princely sum Of five dol
lars as a small boy. At one school he
attended there was strict rule against
marking the desks. Any boy discov-
cred mutilating desk must be pun
ished-being offered his choice be-
tween paying five dollars or taking
public whipping. The irresistible
combination of shiny-topped desk
and a brand-new knife in his pocket
was too much for Mark; he succumbed
to the temptation and whitfield away
until the teacher caught him. The
punishment was set for the following
day, and Marks father, thinking it a
pity the lad should be publicly
whipped gave him lecture and five
dollar bill. Five dollars looked pretty
big to Mark. He thought 1t over care
fully, and when the time came, with
the bill in his pocket, went up and took
the whipping.
