THE RABBIT OF INDUSTRY.

There Is probably no habit that On.
be inculcated in the boy and girl tbs
will bring greater return or upon Wild
in after life they will look back with
greater feeling Of thankfulness thar
that Of industry. It is admitted tn
the fixing Of the habit requires mud
patience and thought on the part Of the
parents, who often realize that they
can do this or that thing in much less
time than would be required in giving
necessary direction to the boy or girl,
but If pains are taken it will generally
prove effort well invested. 1t Is sui
prising how early in life the childrs
can be taught to help in the little thing
and even more surprising to note hd
willing they usually are to render SUI
service as may be in their power. So
taught they soon come to realize that
the home circle is a little democracy
In which each one is the recipient o.
certain services and favors, In return
for which he should willingly give
an equivalent in kind SO far as lies "a
his power. An early placing Of thu
child on such basis will go far tc
ward eliminating some Of the mos
perplexing problems involved in Eis
rearing and education.

GOING TO Law.

Going to law for the purpose of get
ting even or securing what one may
consider his legal rights seems to have
as great fascination for certain class.
of people as gambling or drink has fo5
others. And in nine cases out of ten
it's effects In moral as well as finan-
cial way are just about as disastrous.
There came under our notice the other
day the case Of Kansas farmer who,
four years ago was worth $4,000. In
some manner, not stated, six Of hill
steers got mixed up in a bunch Of y
neighbours cattle and were shipped til
Kansas City. Our lawing friend foil
lowed the shipment to the stockyardI
and recovered three head. He the
sued bis neighbor for the other tire
valued at SIS, his claim being fnall
allowed. Later he brought suit against
the railroad over which the shipment
was made for $1,000. Although he has
spent every cent Of his fortune of $780,
600, he still Is not satisfied and IL de-
sirous of continuing the suit as a pau;
per and asks the state to pay the costsl
a request which the Judge having Juri-t
diction has very sensibly denied. lst
admit this is an extreme case, but
principle it is exactly typical Of thW
sands Of cases in which, for the 81,

thing else that makes life worth llvir
If you have grievance, by all meat
try to have the matter settled by aria

the first decision Of the court and quit
for you may rest assured that they
will be lawyers at hand who will mas

ORCHARD spRAYrNo.I

The writer's twenty-four acre or
chard, which has recently come into
bearing. will be sprayed for the first
time this year. The work will be car
ried on under the supervision Of the
Iowa experiment station at Ames, and
the orchard will be handled as an ex-.
perimental tract, portion Of which
will be left unsprayed with view to
serving Us check and demonstrating
the advantage of commercial spraying.
We hope to be in shape when the crop
is harvested In the fall to present tab /
ulated results. The estimates for the
spraying materials needed for the three
or four treatments are: Copper sui
phate, 800 pounds; acetate Of lead, rs
pounds; arsenate Of soda, 80 pounds;
paris green, so pounds. The second
and third materials mentioned will be
used in the manufacture of arsenate OF
lead. One spraying will be given Just
after the leaf buds break and before
the blossoms open, second just after
the blossoms fall. For both Of these
paris green will be used, as its parti-
lcles are heavy and more readily settle
into the tube at the blossom end Of
the apple, where 80 per cent OF the
larvae of the codling moth feed before
they enter the core. Two later spray
ings will be given with the arsenate Of
lead, the first from fifteen to twenty
days after the blossoms fall and the
last between the middle Of July and
the first Of August to prevent the at
tack of the late brood of codling moths.
With each Of the four sprayings men
toned the bordeaux mixture will be
used for the purpose Of guarding
against the fungous diseases. This 10
made by dissolving one pound of cop
per sulphate in eleven gallons of water
and adding an equal weight of stone
lime. The arsenate Of lead mentioned
IS sufficient for two sprayings of 1880
gallons each, or a pound to fifty-seven
gallons of water. The work will be
done with horsepower sprayer with
tank Of 200 gallons capacity. The
spraying Is done with the wind, which
reduces the danger to the operator
from the poison spray to practically
notking. A Jumper, overalls, pair Of
gauntlet gloves and broad brimmed
oiled hat complete the outfit. Numer-
GUS instances have come under our no
tice during the past year in which
sprayed orchards In localities where
the practice was not common were the
only ones to bear any marketable fruit.
The time is at hand when, with the
orchard as with every other line Of ag-
ricultural work, it il realized that the
best possible results are only obtaina-
Bile through the application Of the most
scientific and practical methods.

In the hurry Of spring work and the
campaign Of yard and house cleaning
1t Is well not to forget the cellar. Be-
ing In a sense out Of sight, it is likely
to be overlooked, yet 1t is safe to say
that next to the water supply the
health Of the family in many cases de-
ponds upon the degree of sanitation to
be found In the cellar. Numerous cases
of malignant diseases, such as typhoid
fever and diphtheria, are directly trace
able to piles of decaying vegetables to
be found in the cellar or to pools Of
stagnant and filthy water. In the lat
ter case the only remedy is the putting
In Of tile drain. Under no circuIn-
stances should the cellar be neglected
because 1t does not occupy an exalted
position In the household economy
