1t was DR.. Johnson who added the '.k''

commonly spelled as we spell them
now. Labor and honor and ga

them Americanisms. But 1t was DIR.

SPRAY EARLY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE.

Since it has come to berecognized
that orchards infested with San
Jose scale can be protected from
injury by proper treatment, and
that they must be treated or they
will become worthless and even
worse than worthless, from the
fact that the insects will spread to
other orchards in the vicinity, the
next most important consideration
Is, how can treatment be applied
in the easiest and most economical
way.
The lime sulphur wash is now
generally recognized as the stand
ard remedy and though it may be
trifie more effective if applied
very late in the spring, our ex-
periments with it during the past
two years indicate that fall and
winter applications are also quite
effective. The weather at this
time is often quite well suited to
spray operations, while the few
weeks Of good weather available
for this and other work in the late
spring Is not likely to prove sulfi-
Gent TO complete it. Therefore.
fruit growers will likely find the
fall and winter applications more
satisfactory. We strongly recon-
mend that this wash be applied as
soon as possible after the first of
November.
Select only the best lime. 1t
should be as free from magnesia and
other impurities as possible, and
should be used while it is fresh.
Chemical study of the wash and
the ingredients from which it is
made indicates that much of the
sulphur will be lost if one attempts
TO use impure or air slaked lime to
prepare it.

Fifty-eight years of active, honorable

proud record OF venerable John Lewis,
Ordnance Corps. u. s. Army (retired)
His service covers the war with Mexico
the civil war and Indian campaigns
He is now living at 1904 River street,
Detroit. Mich. Comrade Lewis enlisted
at Paterson. II. j., in August, 1847, as
a private in the New York volunteers
for the Mexican War. He served until
the Mexicans had been defeated and
subdued, receiving a saber cut on the
left forearm. a bad finger cash and
seven bullets in his legs. He entered
the Regular Army in 1913 at New
Orleans. In 1862 he was commissioned
Second Lieutenant in the volunteers
in New Mexico He was promoted to
First Lieutenant, and was in the army
which drove the Texans back into their
native State. After the civil war he
became an Ordnance Sergeant. and was
retired from active service in 1884
He is still on the Army rolls. and the
records show he served "a years as
First Sergeant. When war was de-
clared against Spain in 1898, he made
application to be again placed on the
active list Of the Army. but there were
too many young men ready and willing
TO enlist, and the sturdy old fighter was
notified by the War Department that
his services were not needed. He is
still hale, hearty and filled with Amer
