A Valuable Bulletin.
H. S. FAIRALL.

Bulletin No. 4, issued by the Wis
ccnsin horticultural society. con
taiEs some interesting information
on the subject of spraying. These
bulletins are issued by the executive
committee Of the society aud are
sent free to members. This part;cu-
lar bulletin on spraying is the work
of F. Cranetield. the secretary of the
State'Hort;cultural society. 1t says
among other things:
The successful culture Of fruit de-
mands knowledge OF rillage, fertil-
izing, pruning and tire methods Of
combating insects and diseases. 1t
is mainly the lack of requirement CT
knowledge concerning the enemies
OF the crop that distinguishes the
successful from the unsuccessful
fru;t-grower.
Two classes ofenemies attack fruit
trees and plants, viz: insects and
ungous disease: the application of
substances, usually liquid, to the
tree or plant for the purpose Of
preventing or destroying these con
stitutes spraying. We spray to de-
stroy insects and to prevent fun
gous diseases. Spraying is no long
er an experiment. 1t is an estab-
lished fact that intelligent and
persistent spraying always pays.
TRANSPORTATION oE INSECTS.
To fight an insect intelligently one
must know its life history There are
certain periods in it's life when it is
vulnerable ana others when it is pro-
tected. This change of conditions is
largely due to the fact that most in
sects.in the course Of their lives un-
Gergo transformation. Mostly the
various stages of this transformation
look so different that if we did not
know, we would set them down as
different animals. Thus we have in
sects with a co mplete metamorpho

Ii was his son, the famous John
Hanks, still living in Missouri. who in
1880 induced Thomas Lincoln, Dennis
Hanks and my father to pull up stakes
and also remove to Illinois, where Abe
was destined to achieve that fame that
gained for him the Presidency.
Having arrived in Macon county,
ILL.,, the party, which numbered thir-
teen, settled for a while. My father
and Abe Lincoln were in their 21st
year. and they, with John Hanks, Abe's
second cousin, built the log cabin
which some say was exhibited on Bos-
ton Common thirty years or more ago.
They also split the famous fence rails
at that time, samples of which did
much to arouse the enthusiasm In the
Illinois convention in 1860, which Sc
cured the Presidential nomination for
Lincoln.
After serving as major In the Black
Hawk war, in which Abe Lincoln was
captain, my father became one of the
earliest settlers in Missouri, and dur
ing the greater part of his life kept a
tavern, first at Hannibal and later at
Frankfort.

went several miles down the river ON

been threatening to rise for several

The antics of the boys with their faith

OF talk in Springfield. Roland Diller,
who was neighbor of Mr.. Lincoln,
tells one of the best of the stories. He

there was Mr.. Lincoln striding by with

When asked to define her relation
ship to the martyred President, Mrs.
Moore said:
my father. William S. Hall, was a
son of Martha Hanks, sister of Nancy
Hanks, who married Thomas Lincoln
and became the mother of Abraham
Lincoln. So, you see. my father was

When questioned as to the antece-

ton OF all three families that they
omigrated together from New England
about 200 years ago to Pennsylvania,
from there to Virginia and later TO

Indiana and finally to Illinois and Mis-

New England, and intends to prepare
