SAN JOSE SCALE.
Autumn Use OF the Lime, sal. and
sulphur Wnsh.


sulphur Wash.
TIE lime-sulphur-salt nsecticide in
one or another form has for years been
relied upon by the fruit ralsers Of the
Pacific coast states in combating San
Jose scale and other scale insects. The
experience of western fruit growers
with the remedy has been very salts
factory. II is now widely used and
particularly iii Illinois. New York,
Ohio, Connecticut, New Jersey ana
Maryland. TIE chief advantages which
this wash seems 10 possess are that it
is highly effective in the destruction Of
the san Jose t5le. other scale insects,
plant lice and other similar pests. 1t
also controls TO a large extent the de.
velopmeut oil certain fWngous diseases.
such as peach leaf curl.
As an Autumn Application.
The lime-sUlph wash was first
applied in the eastern states as win.
ter or early spring remedy, care being
taken TO finish the spraying before the
buds began 90 swell Recently numer-
Gus experiments have been tried, par
ticularly in New York and Ohio. in
testing the value Of the remedy as
fail application. The results Of these
experiments in New York indicate that
the injury from the application Of the
lme-sulphur wash in the fail was very
slight in the case Of peaches plums
and cherries. In some cases the injury
was hardly noticeable, As a fall APP
plcaton the lime-sulphur wash, lime
sulphur-salt wash and lime-sulphur-
caustic soda wash were about equally
effective. in Ohio the application of
the msecticide in the fall was not Diet
rimental to peaches or plums, and the
destruction Of the san Jose scale was
as complete rs when the remedy WAS
applied in the spring.
In new England ana the south.
AS a result of the tests thus far
made at the various agricultural eX-
pertinent stations, numerous orchard
lists have applied the lime-sulphur-salt
wash to different kinds of fruit trees
on commercial scale In Connect
lieut. during Che spring OF 1904 about
100000 trees were sprayed with lime
sulphur mixtures with generally salts
factory results. In the southern states
according to The North Carolina depart
ment of agriculture, "the lime-sulphur-
salt wash bids fair to become popular
as winter spray for orchards, not
only as a remedy for the San Jose
scale, when the pest is present, but
also on account of its general effect on
the trees in removing dead bark, de-
stroying alternating spores Of fungous
diseases, checking scurfy scale, oyster
shell scale and to certain extent other
insect pests" During the winter of
1904 the lime-sulphur-salt wash was
applied in North Carolina to about
10000 trees with excellent results.

An nlenIlant story.

A queer elephant yarn is told in the
Japan Chronicle by lie captain of a
trading steamer. On one occasion he
had on board cargo Of forty e!e-
plants. The ship was ut anchor in Il
calm sea, but began to roll violently.
The captain investigated and learned
that the elephants had IN some way
found that by swayng to and fro all
together a rocking motion WAS produc-
ed that seemed to please them i'm
mensely SO the great heads and bodies
rolled and swung in unison until The
steamer, which had no other cargo and
rode light, was in imminent danger
of rolling clean over The attendants
were hurried down into the hold and,
after a greaS deal OF shouting and
humping, managed to stop their dan
gerous amusement Jules Verne tells
as a fiction Of ihe sinking Of ship
in that way and the question is. Has
some one in Japan been reading Verne
or was the noyelist's fancy JUSTIFIED by
real experience!

AS Jerry finished his talk the girl
broke into laughter and kept it IN for
five minutes. She laughed in half

as we'll as humor in her tones. Then
she sang verse of a topical song.
Then she screwed Up Ler face and in
whining tones gave item an imitation

turned cart wheels twice around the

in silence for five minutes. and then
Jerry Palmer heaved Il sigh and said:

to be despised. The men who cry Gait

Those who sell Brittany fowls get ZIG a
month, and those who dispose Of ducks
only receive $40 per month. Rabbits
