for one spraying to cover every leaf,
hence [ would advise the second and
even the third spraying. Not more

point, every grove owner should own

Our Homes.

AS long as we have farmers, we
may expect that they will continue to
grow corn. But the average corn
crop in this state is not by any means
credit to their farming. The fol-
lowing article from Gleanings In Bee
Culture is long, but it shows so clear
ly what can be done that we consider
it worth all the space that it will occu-
py.
If you grow corn, read it carefully
and then make up your mind to raise
better crops in the future than you
have in the past. And remember
that what is true of corn, also applies
to any other crop grown from seed,
that is, it can be improved by care

Dear friends, this Home paper ought
to he one of the most valuable that
has ever come from my brain; and
the more valuable because it is not
the production of my own brain. 1T
belongs to the man "whOse brain has
increased the corn crop of Iowa about
100000 bushels yearly You see
I have put the above in quota ton
marks. That is because 1 took it from
little handful announcing that Prof.
P. G. Holden would address our Chip
pewa Lake Cha 1tauqua on the LIST of
August. l had heard something of
Prof Holden before. I think it was
the Rural Newly orker that said the
corn wizard'' of Iowa had not only
put American corn on the witness
stand, but that he had succeeded,
after years of patient toll and study,
in not only making the corn listen to
his questions, but in making it give a
definite and decided answer.
When I sat down to listen to Prof
Holden [ had somehow gotten the err.
roneOus impression that he had devel.

thing in the way Luther Burbank de-

have done so. But I was agreeably
surprised in good many ways. First,

send off anywhere for seed corn-es-
pecially not to distant states. Get
the best corn you can in your own
immediate neighborhood. If you get
seed corn more than ten or twenty
miles from the locality where it has
been grown for years it seems to get
homesick. The thing the farmer has
to do to double his corn crop must be

The White Fly.
Editor Florida AOricuItWriSt.

Editor Florida A0ricW1tatrist.
The white fly is becoming a very
serious pest to the fruit growers of the
state, and the momentous question is,
what shall we do to be saved, or what
shall the fruit growers do to save their
industry? The little pest is more
wide spread over the state today than
it was before the big freeze of '94
At that time there were but few coun-
ties in the state that were infested
with the fly. Today they are scatter
ed in nearly every orange growing
county Of the state. The most i'm
pOrtant question is how shall we pro-
tect ourselves and save our great and
rapidly growing industry? One said,
use cOpperas; another, spray with
Target brand insecticide, another use
the Red and brown fungus; another,
cut down the China berry tree, etc.
Before the freeze Of '94, was making
insecticide of different formulas for
the eXtermina ton of different species
of scale and foot rot Since that date,
I have been a close observer of the
different insects and parasites that
depredate on our fruits, and vegeta-
bles. l have now over fifty different
formulas for making insecticide. I
have finally come to the conclusion that
there is not any one thing or spray
that will eradicate the enemies that
live ON the fruit and vegetable grower.
One thing I have convinced myself,
that summer spraying is more detri-
mental than it does good. 1t destroys
the lady bug, the best friend the
orange grower has. There is no use
in cutting down the Chinaberry tree
WITH Cne hopes OF DISCRIMINATING the
white fly. l doubt very much if the
white fly breeds ON that tree I never
saw any white fly scale on it. There
are several trees and shrubs that they
do breed on take for instance, the
cape jessamine, one of the shrubs that
breeds white fly very abundantly.
Then the California privet, one Of the
worst we have to breed this pest.
Then go to our native trees and
plants. The bay tree harbors and
breeds them by the thousand Our
saw palmetto is another plant that is
affected, and many more. But for the
present this will suffice.
| beg to suggest two remedies, and
| do so, feeling assured if properly
tried the great pest will be sufficient
ly curtailed to prevent any serious
damage to the orange grower. First,
secure enough young orange trees that
are we'll inoculated with Red and
Brown Fungue to guarantee success,

he brought specimens and held them
up before the audience little spindl-
ing stalks from a foot high, all the
way up to a stalk full height, perhaps
without an ear of corn ON it at all.
He asked the audience what per cent
the missing, small, and empty stake
probably made in OUR average corn
fields. He did not discuss soils nor
cultivation very much. I think it
takes about four lectures to take up
the whole subject He gave us the
most important one. Now, many
farmers seem to have the idea that it
is poor ground or lack of cultivation
that is responsible for the small yield
A good many seem to think the lack
of rain at just the right time is one
of the troubles that can not be SUR
mounted Then he called attention to
the fact that we have fields yielding
big crops side by side Of poor miser
able crops of less than half a yield,
the two Is it likely the raindrops
stop just as they get up to that wire
fence, and do not fall on the poor
ground? Then he gave us most pun
gent moral against shouldering the
blame on the kind Father above.
Why is it we have vacant hills hills
with little bits of stalks, and stalks
that do not bear any corn? Prof.
Holden said he was talking to crowd
of farmers not long ago, and a boy
pushed his way up and looked as if
he wanted ito say something. Mr. HOl-
den loves boys (and girls too) Or he
would not be the great man he is
After a little encouragement the boy
got off something like this:
''Why, Prof Holden, it looks to me
as if there were a great lot Of stalks
in almost every cornfeld that just
fool around all summer dom nothin','"
This boy gave him the text for
grand sermon. He said it was not
only stalks of corn that fooled around
all summer ''doin' nOthin','' but there
are human beings just like the corn
stalks They live and die standing
around ''doin' nothin'" when God has
placed such wonderful opportunities
before them.
Now, then, friends, if it is not poor
soil nor lack of cultivation, nor even a
lack of rain, that is responsible for
the large number of stalks of corn
standing around ''doin' nothin','' what
is the trouble? 1t is largely poor seed.
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall
he also reap" Yes, / know you think
you have the best seed; and when I
told Mrs Root about it she said her
father always had the very best seed
corn that could be produced. He pick
ed out the ears before the corn was
cut; watched them till they were just
right picked them, and hung them up
in the garnet where they would be
thoroughly dried out before freezing
could harm them. Yes, that is all
very good-tiptop; but, dear me! it is
not half of it. I wonder if 1 can ex-

wife are to do it or help to do it.
Prof. Holden reminded me vividly of
Prof. Cook, especially when he used
to give his talks at the Michigan Agri-
cultural College. If 1 shut my eyes
l could almost think it was Prof.
Cook who was talking. He lis a
rather small and slim man; but his
face beams with overlooking good
nature and enthusiasm. [ listened to
his talk something over two hours;
and although it is hard work for me
ordinarily to listen to any discourse
an hour long, I think I could have
continued to listen until dark, going
without my supper, without thought
of it. He was, of course, cheered and
encored all the way through; and more
or less questions were fired" at him
all the time His whole audience of
four or five hundred caught his en-
thusiasm; and, oh how he did improve
the opportunity to crowd home great
and important truths! His address
was a home talk if there ever was a
home talk 1t caught hold of the wO
men and children just as it caught
hold of the men; and every little
while, for fear some important matter
would be overlooked or forgotten, or
might slip from the memory, he would
stop and say, "Now, look here, friends,
you are not listening. This is matter
of exceeding Importance. If you do
not listen intently to every word 1
say, you will let a cog slip, and your
work will go all to pieces.'
Prof. Holden got into Medina Go.
one day in advance; and just as soon
as let loose he began rambling over
the cornfields in our region. Then he
visited our experiment station at
Wooster; and, oh how he did 'sroast'
the stupid farmers who live within
easy access Of our experiment station,
and yet never go there to see what's
being done! He had the platform
where he spoke loaded with stalks
and hills of corn that he had pulled
up in adjoining fields The table and
chairs were loaded with specimens of
ears Of dried corn. All along the
stage were samples of products from
Indian corn and corn-stalks; big
chunk of india-rubber, samples of
different kinds of sugar, all made from
corn; and, finally, when he spoke Of
maple molasses made entirely from
corn there was a rather large mani
festation from the audience.
Now may God help me to- recollect,
and tell in a way that will make it
plain to you all, some of the grand
truths our good friend and Christian
brother (thank the Lord that he is a
devoted Christian gave us, as he
tried to lift up and encourage the
farmers and their boys-yes, farmers
wives and farmers girls as well-in
his talk Besides the specimens that
loaded down the platform and tables,
he had wonderful charts hung up just
back of him. I can not remember the
statistics very we'll, and I did not
think to put it down with my pencil;
but the first chart that was hung up
before us read something like this:

No Monkey Ranch There

An automobilist in making a cross
country tour in Dakota had the mis-
fortune to have his machine break
down, relates a writer in Success. He
saw a small house not far off and cut
across to it. The only man about the
place was a Swede, who was much
amused by the sight of the strange
rig the automobilist wore.
"My friend" said the automobilist,
s'my machine has had a bad break
and | would like to know il you have
such a thing as a monkey wrench
about here?"
The Swede looked at the AUTOMOBILE
ist with greater curiosity than ever,
and then laughed. He had met some
strange folks and heard some odd
things since he had come to America,
but this was the worst.

The man had been in probate court
several times on an insanity charge,
but Judge Hadden could not find that
he was really insane, although it was
said he possessed an almost uncon-
.trollable temper. 1t was thought by
the physicians called in to examine
him that an operation on his skull
might relieve the brain pressure from
a piece of bone depression, the result
of being struck on the head by a
timber years ago, and restore Eichler
to normal condition. He thought SO
himself, and at his own request Judge
Hadden permitted him to go to the
hospital for that purpose.
Last Monday morning the operation
was performed and it appears to have
been as successful as the most sang
1ine could have hoped. Yesterday the
patient was walking about the in
terior of the hospital and appeared
to be recovering nicely from the Sc
we're operation. He seemed cheerful
and bright His disposition has
changed, and instead of being morose
and hard to approach he is becoming

Eichler will not be able physically
to leave the hospital for some time
yet. but if he continues to improve as
he has the past three or four days 1t

cussing various topics. Personal ones
were touched upon at last, and after
exchanging family solicitudes for sew

Major:

me, how is she?"

Major.

''The sum satisfied the woman; but
a month or two afterward, taking up
a newspaper, she read about man
who had lost his leg in the same ac-
cident, and, behold! this man was
given by the company damages to the
amount of $780,

tened at once to the Office of the rail-

terly:
How is this? Here you give a

loss of my husband.
'The claim adjuster smiled amiably
and said in a soothing voice:

TRIALS OF MAYOR

STRONG OPPOSITION TO GER

Democrats Up In Arms Against selee.
tion Of Gessner Williams for
Place on the Police
Commission

Mayor-elect Harper Is having a taste
of the trials and tribulations which
invariably beset the occupant of the
chief executives chair
Mr.. Harper's first trouble is all ow-
ing to one contemplated appointment,
Were 1t not for this position the
mayor-elect would have made public
on Christmas morning the entire list
of appointments.
In looking over the field for available
material for the various boards and
other positions which the new mayor
must fill, Mr.. Harper received from
the Liberal alliance, which, in con-
junction with the German American al
lance, strongly indorsed Mr.. Harper 5
candidacy and worked hard for his
election, the name of Gessner Williams
for q place on the police commission.
The name was accompanied by strong
letter of Endorsement, and Mr.. Harper
tentatively selected Mr.. Williams for a
place on the police commission.
Immediately there came a long and
vigorous roar from the ranks of the
straight-out Democrats, or those who
fought under the Bell banner in the
recent state campaign.
1t was declared most Vehemently
that no man who was on the Inde-
pendence league ticket or who worked
for the success of that ticket and
against Theodore A. Bell should be
honored with appointment by Mayor
Harper.
Williams, as nominee for attorney
general on khe independence league
ticket, is said to have been bitter In
his attacks upon Bell in his speeches
during the campaign, and some of the
local Democrats say they would rather
see Mr.. Harper fill every position with
Republicans than have him honor Will
liams with ar appointment of any de-
scription.
The pressure from Democratic
sources against Williams has become
so strong that Mr.. Harper has been
compelled to take the affair into seri-
Gus consideration, in hope that some
solution satisfactory to all concerned
may be found.
