Why the Name Bordeaux Mixture.

Many valuable things are discovered
by accident rather than intent.
In a lecture before a university aud
fence on The Problem of Controlling
Plant Diseases" DR.. j. G. Arthur, state
botanist, told of the discovery of the
value of the common bordeaux mixture
in killing mildews and kindred fungi
1t has been the custom of the vine
growers of France to use the green
poison, verdigris, on the grapes along
the highway to frighten wouldbe ma.
RAIDERS. Some came to use a cheaper
solution of copper sulphate and lime,
the copper sulphate giving the green
color and the lime causing the solution
to adhere well. About - years ago
grape mildew became very bad in the
French vineyards, having been intro
duced from America with vines, and ser
iously threatened the vine industry in
France. 1t was noticed, however, that
the vines along the highway which had
received an application of the copper
sulphate were not affected by the mil
dew. As a result of this, experiments
were taken up with the solution which
proved to be and still remains one of the
best fungicides known. 1t came to be
called bordeaux mixture because of its
being experimental with and recon-
mended by the academy of science at
Bordeaux, France.

Pruning and Cutting Back Peach
Trees.

There is no orchard tree that is ia as
great need of regular and severe prun-
ing as the peach. Being a rapid grower,
1t is taken from the nursery at one year
from the bud and planted in orchard
form. The whole trunk being of last
seasons growth, it has wood buds along
the upper half at least. Long experience
has shown it best to prune to whip and
then cut the top at point where the
head is desired, which should be not
over three feet from the ground; two
feet is better. At least once each month
during the growing season the orchard
should be gone over and all struggling
branches, which il left would cause an
unshapely top, cut away. Train more
heavily on the northeast side to keep
balanced up. When the tree comes in
bearing, head in and head back. The
object is to keep the top as low and com
pact in form as possible. When we real
ize that all fruit buds are formed on
new wood and that this new wood is
each year getting farther from the trunk
and increasing the leverage and when
loaded with fruit increasing the danger
of breaking, we can see the necessity.

Troop 4.

The city of South Haven has secured
the first troop of cavalry formed by the
Michigan national guard, with Capt. p.
b. Limo Of that hustling city in com
mand. That this company will meet
with success is the wish of all Van Buren,
county citizens, who have pride in any
thing that will have tendency to bring
the county to the front Paw Paw has
many young men who would be valuable
members of crack cavalry company
such as this promises to be, and a squad
could be enlisted here without trouble if
sufficient encouragement was given. We
understand that one of the things neces-
sary to be able to join Troop A, as this
troop will be known, is to own your own
horse.
There are many things that should ap-
peal to our boys in this matter. The
drill which will be given will afford to
the members physical training hard to
secure in any other way. The social
features are not to be ignored, and the
comradeship is another pleasant feature
which should not be overlooked.

Dust and Liquid Spraying.

The simple statement of the subject is
sufficiently comprehensive to draw out
the best points in both systems. What
we are allinterested in as fruitgrowers, are
results 10 the orchards-to get at the facts
as the practical work in the orchard has
developed them.
The individual experience of every
grower who has used both systems isgood
the collective experience of large num-
Der of growers, under varying conditions
Climatic and otherwise-and on all
kinds of fruit grown in our diversified eli
mate, is better.
The reports of the past season, so far as
/ have been able to obtain and peruse,
cover nearly the entire fruit growing sec
tions Of the United States-of deciduous
fruits and vegetables; also citrus fruits
of Florida and California; also include the
dust process TO stay the blight of French
and English walDuts in California a. con-
Quoted by the walnut growers association
Of the state They report the disease COD
troleC. and investigation shows that for
al. varieties Of stone fruits, grapes, cur
rants. stra cherries, and all kinds of vine
fruits. potatoes and the many varieties OF
vegetables, the dust process has thus far
proved .1e superior Of the two in many
wzgs
TIE past year has developed the fact
TIA. g-ly the dust formulas will success
fully combat peach and grape rot. Prof.
Woods. superintendent of plant pathol-
ogy al Washington, d. c., states in his
reports that dust is the only successful
method of treating the rots above meg
toned. and the department was perfect
ing the dust formulas. As an insecticide,
reports show dust to be superior to liquid
for some purposes, attributed, no doubt,
to the more even distribution Of arsenites
than can be obtained by liquid and the
Limitation of arsenites in the liquid as
compared to dust. The air as conveyor
carries the dust into every crack and
crevice, then nature furnishes moisture
to finish the work.
p. j. Richardson, a prominent horti-
culturist in Arkansaw, says one applica-
ton of the dust stopped the brown rot in
his vineyard, while his neighbors lost
most of theirs from the rot. One appli-
cation cleaned out slugs and other insects
on gooseberries and currants, and was
more economical and effective than liquid.
On the scab fungus the past year no
difference was observed by the average
orchardst, but Mr.. johnson of Missouri
claims to have killed the fungus on both
the foliage and fruit, though he was un-
able to entirely eradicate the disease
owing to excessive rains washing off dust.
He sprayed apples eight times, and peach
es, plums, cherries and grapes four times.
He controlled rot on Triumph reach,
which is more susceptible to rot than
any other variety and harder to handle,
but dust alleviated both conditions. The
percentage of No. fruit was ahead of
the liquid formula, where climatic condi-
tons were at all favorable, both in yield
aud quality.
In the Bordeaux preparation with the
dust, the sulphate of copper is held i'm
suspension on the tree and fruit until
nature furnishes the moisture to dissolve
the bluestone on the tree instead of in
the compromising tank. 1t seems to be

Dear Sir: Good yarn: How we got
our agent at Delhi, y. Y.
Gladstone 81 Paine were agents for
we mustn't tell names.
We wanted 'em. Paine was painting his
big Colonial house. Said it took 10 gal
Ions of white for the trim.
We sent him 10 gallons and said; il
you get it all on, no pay; if you have any
left, return it and pay for the rest.
Agreed.
He returned four gallons and took the
agency. Four or five years ago. He
knows now that his old paint was and is
that's why it took 10 gal
Ions to equal six of ours.
Go by the name; there is but one name
to go by: Devoe lead-and zinc.

EXPERT DESIGNER FOR OMAHA
A. II. Proud, Expert Cutter and De-
signer of Mems Garments,
Comes TO City.

Omaha will have the distinction this fall
OF claiming the residence OF designer OF
mems clothing. The person in question
Is A. II. Proud. whose services have been
secured by the Dresher Tailoring company
OF this city. Mr.. Proud arrived in the city
recently and Immediately will take up his
work as head cutter at the Dresher es-
adjustment.
A new style Of overcoat, designed by Mr..
Proud, has already been accepted since he
came to Omaha by the american Gentle
man." which regulates the style Of mems
garments; he is the regular designer for
this journal.
It will be the privilege of Omaha men to
bring out this new style Of overcoat this
fall and winter before the fashion plates
shall have reached many Of the eastern
cities
Mr. Proud Is a Frenchman by birth, hav-
ing learned his profession in Paris. For
years he has been Identified with Brooks
Bros OF New York City, which firm sends
out most Of the leading cutters Of the
country.
Mr. Proud's services with the Dresher
company will include that Of designer Of
nobby garments as we'll as being head cut
ter of this large tailoring establishment.
No tailor has ever paid the salary, outside
Of New York or Chicago, that Mr.. Dresher
pays Mr. Proud.
Another advantage that is offered to
Omaha men by the Dresher company, by
engaging the services of Mr.. Proud, is that
patrons Of the Horse Show this fall may
have their show clothes" made In Omaha
and according to correct and approved
styles, thus obviating the inconvenience
and delay Of sending east for these gar
ments, as some did last year

RAILROADS AND GRAIN CROP
Traffic Already IL Heavy, but Test
IL Coming when wheat and
Corn Pour In.

During the FIRST week in August the rail-
roads Of the country delivered more grain
at primary points than in any other week
since last December. This is only a fore
runner OF what the railroads expect to do
when 1t comes time to move the bumper
crop of the present season.
Whether the road will be "swamped" by
the wheat output depends on how the crop
is marketed, the officials say They will
not be able to handle 1t in three months,
as they have been called upon to do in
some years, but II the marketing is dis
tributed through six months they say they
will have no difficulty in transporting the
crop.
II the weather is favorable the harvesters
will be busy over the greater portion of the
northwest.
The roads are getting 10 per cent more
traffic there than ever before at this season.
In the southwest. where the crops have
been harvested, except the corn, there is a
heavy tTafic in grain and merchandise, and
the roads west of the Missouri river are
short Of cars. There is a free movement OF
the small grains.

new TERRITORY FOR TRADE
Kansas and Colorado Will Be Invaded BY
Omaha Commercial Boosters,
ROUTE ALONG THE ROCK ISLAND
After Taking All of Kansas City and
So. Joseph Trade Delegation
VIII Mount pixies
Peak

An invasion OF new territory 10 planned
by the trade extension committee Of the
Commercial club. It is the country in
northern Kansas on the Rock Island, at
the towns Of which, with the exception OF
those from Manhattan to Belleville, ship
ments from Omaha arrive at the same
time as those from St. Joseph and Kansas
City The towns in this section never have
been visited by the Omaha jobbers. but
several times they have been covered by
trade excursions from the other cities.
with the freight facilities afforded by the
Rock Island, It is believed, Omaha can
capture a good share OF the business now
going to Kansas City and St. Joseph.
II is proposed to make a three days
trip. The first day the towns between
Manhattan and Smith Center are to be
visited. During the night a run will be
made into Colorado Springs and the next
morning the club will take the Cog Wheel
road to the top OF Pixies Peak, there to
have a picture taken OF the club boosting
Omaha above the clouds. Later in the
day trip is planned to the Cripple Greek
district, and those desiring can call on
the trade at Cripple Creek, Victor and
Florence returning in the evening in time
to visit merchants at Colorado Springs
The third day the start will be made at
Kan, for supper.
Towns to BE Visited.
The towns to be visited are: Manhattan,
Keats. Riley, Bala Broughton, Clay Cen
ter, Morganvllle, Clifton, Clyde, Agenda,
Cuba, Belleville, Scandal, CORTLAND, For
moso, Moutrose, Mankato, Otego, Ezbon,
Lebanon, Belaire, Smith Center, Burling-
ton (Colo), Kanotado, Goodland, Brew
ster, Colby, Gem, Rexford, Selden, Dresden,
Jennings, Clayton Dellvale, Norton, AL
mena, Prairie View, Stuttgart, Phillipsburg,
Agra Kensington and Athol Nine of these
towns have populations larger than 1900.
Manhattan has 1870 Clay Center $500 and
Belleville 1900 people.
The estimated total expense of the trip
for each person, without meals, including
Pullman and railroad fare and the trips
to Pixies Peak and Cripple Creek. would
be about $50. Details of the trip have been
sent to members of the Commercial club
and If 100 Of them answer that they
would like to go on the excursion about
September 10. the trip will be made.

MASSACRE CONFIRMED
ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS IN RUS
sIA FELL UPON JEWS.

ST. PETERSBURG May 9.-The report
in circulation here last night that there had
been a massacre of Jews at Zhitomir gov
ernment of Volhynia southwestern Russia.
is confirmed In a dispatch to the Novosti,
which says the rioting began May 7, and
continued for forty-eight hours.
Orthodox Christians fell upon the Jews
in the streets. The Jews were armed and
fought their assailants, many being killed
or wounded IN both sides.
Private dispatches from Zhitomir attrib-
ute the attack upon the Jews to articles
in M. .Kroushevan's paper. Twelve persons
were killed and fifty were wounded. On
Sunday the Jews telegraphed to friends in
St Petersburg to ask the authorities to
take strong measures for their protection
and orders to that effect were sent. A re-
newal of the fighting was expected today.
Commenting upon this news the Novosti
remarks upon the coincidence that NJ.
Kroushevan (the former editor of the Bes-
sarabyetz) of lS.shineff held to be RESPONSE
BILE for the massacre of 1903 at that place,
had hardly returned to Kishinen and
started the publication Of new paper, the
Friend, before Jewish massacres COM
menced In the neighborhood.

DENVER, Col. May 9-The Presidential
special train consisting of a baggage car,
buffet car sleeper, private car of the gen.
eral manager of the road and the Presi-
dents private car Rocket pulled by one
of the new monster engines, left the Union
depot here over the Union Pacific railroad
for Chicago promptly at O'Clock this
morning. The curtains in the Presidents
private car were closely drawn and all
was quiet within Quite a crowd had as
sembled at the station to see the President
off, but no demonstration was made when
1t became known that the President was
slumbering.
The huge engine was piloted by Engineer
Hockenberger, and in charge of Con-
ductor Clark. The engine itself was lit
orally smothered in decoration, consisting
of tricolored effects in bunting Several
large portraits were displayed on the sides
of the cab. Preceding the Presidents spe-
cial train by ten minutes went a pilot train
of one coach. The pilot train will lead the
special to Julesburg, whei. another pilot
will take it's place and run ahead of the
special into Omaha.
Trackwalkers and inspectors were or
dered at daylight all along this division of
the Union Pacific, and every precaut: on
was taken to insure the Presidents safety
on his eastward journey.

were closed against them.
Barnes Is charged with preying upon
credulous farmers. and has for several
years made good living at his special
trade. It was his habit to advertise to buy
all sorts OF farm produce offering to pay q
certain amount on delivery and the balance
thirty days later. The inspectors reoort 10

tention Of paying for anything he rot, hut
disposed of It and got the money. He Il
said to have received considerable produce
from farmers all over the section OF coun-
try IN which ne operated. and no redress
could be had by his victims tor the reaaon
that several years ago he went into volua-
tary bankruptcy to avoid paviAg his lawful
debts
