Shocks Felt.

San Francisco, April 23.-Victims
of the earthquake and fire remaining
in this city were thrown into state
OF great excitement today by the kill
ing of H. c.. Tilden, prominent mer-
chant of the city and a member of
the relief committee, by members of
a citizens patrol. Mr.. Tilden was
shot while riding in an automobile,

dignation prevails. Many people have
been driven insane by the horrors
they have passed through, and a tenn
porary detention hospital has been es-
tablished in the Sacred Heart school.
A dozen patients are now housed
there.
The authorities have accepted the
offer of Colonel T. Waln-Morgan Ora
per to supervise the erection of
barracks accommodating 5000 of the
refugees at the Preside.
Thousands of San Franciscans
homeless, slept in the open-if they
slept at all-in a drenching rain last
night, Fully $4,000 refugees are be-
ing fed by the government at the Pre-
sidio and North Beach. Barracks for
$4,000 are being erected in Golden
Gate park.
MORE SHOCKS FELT.
More slight shocks have been fel.
in Imperial valley, the latest early to-
day.
Burying squads are busy all over
the city.
Refugees are flocking on all trains
from the scene of ruins and blaste
hopes. Their railroad passage is free
to all points of the country. Fear of
epidemic, according to General Funs-
ton is abating. Sanitary conditions
are improving in the camps at Golden
Gate park and throughout the city and
but few cases of smallpox or typhoid
have been found. There is now food
and water in plenty for survivors, al
though accommodations for shelter is
insufficient as yet.

variety.
This month 1t would be well to spray
all the trees thoroughly with Bor-
deaux. Just. as the leaves come, spray
again with Bordeaux and Paris green.
For currants, gooseberries and rose
bushes, spray of Paris green when
the leaves are opening will insure a
full and beautiful crop of leaves. But
the spraying must be done at the right
time. If neglected till the full leaf
has appeared, it will require three or
four sprayings, and then theo results
will not be entirely satisfactory.
/ know there are some men who
think that when it is a fruit year.
there will be fruit, and if 1t is not a
fruit year" there is no use of spray
ing the trees. This is where many of
us make mistake, in not spraying
the trees, even ii we expect no fruit
1t is the non-spraying of the off years
that makes the spraying of the fruit
years more burdensome. The same
watchful care must be taken of tne
tree, fruit or no fruit, and it would
not be long till there would be fewer
no fruit years"
The Spray Calendar of the Ohio De-
partment of Agriculture gives the fol-
lowing directions for May
This is one of the most critical
months in the year and all fruits
need special attention and spraying,
Spray apple and plum trees as soon
as the blossoms fall, and again one
week or ten days later with arsenate
of lead and Bordeaux mixture.
SPRAY cherry trees in the same way,
but use half strength Bordeaux.
Treat pears, ounces, currants and
gooseberries at the same time with
the Bordeaux only.
SPRAY other small fruits once, as
soon as the blossoms fall, with one
half strength Bordeaux Arsenate of
lead should be added to the Bordeaux
if insects are eating the foliage or
fruit.
Spray grapes with full strength Bor-
deaux before the blossoms fall, and if
the berry moth caused injury last
year, add arsenate of lead.
Treat seed potatoes with forma-
line. Carefully examine all peach
trees for borers, dig them out and
destroy them. If plant lice or other
insects are found, (which suck the sap
from the branches or foliage, spray
Immediately with kerosene emulsion
or diluted whale oil soap mixture.
This must be done before the leaves
become curled
'In June the grapes should receive
the size of small peas.
Spray plums with Bordeaux and
collect and burn all that are affected
with rot. Peach trees should receive
thorough spraying with one-half
strength Bordeaux to destroy scab and
rot.
In July carefully observe the con-
dition of the plums and grapes, and
If rot appears apply Bordeaux or am
moniacal carbonate of copper at once.
begins to color.
SPRAY apples thoroughly with ar
senate of lead and one-half strength
Bordeaux after July 15."
l have not been able to find any
thing to exterminate the rose bug.
One of my friends suggested that we
import Vesuvius, but the cure in that
case might prove too heroic.
Fruit growing has become one of
the important occupations, and il
man can not devote the proper time
and attention to his trees he had bet
ter not attempt to grow fruit.

Have you provided for your fam

If not, then you have not done
your full duty. The best and sur
est way to provide for the financial
loss they will incur by being de-
prived of your income, is to invest
part of what you are now earning
in good life insurance, A small
premium each year pays for large
amount of protection. To accumu
late an equal amount by saving,
you would have to be sure you
were going to live a long number
of years You may die this year.
Therefore you cannot figure on
your savings. INSURE NOW.

are the best, premiums the lowest
and dividends the largest of any
