SPRAYING THE APPLE.

The apple is the most important

the lime through a cloth or strainer,

The second application of the spray
should be given as soon as the apple
blossoms fall. Then two or three more
sprayings should be given at intervals
of two or three weeks.

Budding differs from grating in that

Budding can be done with the great

The scion may be cut as soon as the

AS a last resort, arrangements were
made to have Mr.. Barth meet the
only woman in America who could
come up to his standard-Miss Rosa
Wedsted, the Finnish giantess, also
with the circus.
Miss Wedsted is exactly seven feet
tall, and while not exactly'a beauty,
she has pleasant face. She is dis
tinlt blonde, while Mr.. Barth Is the
opposite.
Miss Wedsted, when approached on
the subject, at first was diffident. She
is, strange to say, extremely sensitive
about her height. She feared an ad-
vertlsing scheme of some sort, but
was assured that Mr.. Barth was not
connected with any circus or side
show, and, in fact, had never yearned
to be billed" as giant. So finally
the giantess consented to meet him.

little group, including Col. Anger,

World representative, and Mr.. Barth,
assembled in room at Madison Square
Garden. Across the room Miss We'd
sted was in little ante-chamber ar
raying herself for the meeting that
might be SO fraught with Importance
to both the interested parties.
Suddenly Mr.. Barth remembered thai
he was in hurry, and, excusing him
self, fled incontinently.
Was it bashfulness? Who knows?
The lady was disappointed, anyway.
When Mr.. Barth was 81 years of
age he was as tall as he is to-day.
His father is Maj Gen. Barth, who
retired from active service a quarter
OF century ago, and who is now
heavily interested in western mines.
Barth holds enough shares in these
mines to make him Independent. He
also owns property in the Bronx, in
Jersey and at Plainfeld and River

After he had his first affair of the
heart Barth promptly resigned his po-

go travelling, and set sail for London
Three years were spent in London,
Scotland, Ireland and France. Wheth-

Travelling, to Mr.. Barth, means more
OF sacrifice than it does to the or

height make the question of sleeping
accommodations serious one. In
travelling at night he always has to

Six feet seven inches of femininity!
