SOME SPRAYING NOTES.

The writer is giving his orchard a
careful spraying this year,. and several
points have been noted which may be
of value to others who may be- inter-
ested in orchard work. First, the good
effects of a series of spraying, are not
confined entirely to the year ia which
it is done, as trees in the block left I'M
sprayed this year are relatively free
from scab as the result Of the treat
ment which was given them last year.
Another observation is that a. twofold
spraying this season given before the
blossom buds opened has resulted in
an almost entire elimination of the ap-
pie scab, which a single treatment q
year ago last spring did not seem 10
entirely counteract 1t is clear that
the longer an orchard is sprayed the
more satisfactory are the results which
are obtained during any one season, az
cumulative process not unlike that by
means of which one acquires a good
name or receives interest on interest
which has accrued in previous years
Lastly, the work in the orchard is rem
dered much more pleasUrable because
the fruit to be harvested, which is now
hanging heavy on the trees, is clean
and perfect and not scabby and
scrawny as in previous years.

THE WEED NUISANCE.

In view of the rapid rate at which
noxious weeds are spreading over Sec
lions Of the middle and western states,
more care than is custOmarily exercised
should be used in the matter OF utiliz-
ing the roadside grasses, the working
OF which through the hangers and out
on the manure pile may result In scat
terfng harmful weeds and grasses over
the whole farm. Along this same line
an equal care should be exercised that
no hay is used on the place from
farms which are known to be infested
with nOxious weeds. particularly the
Canada thistle and pestilentiai quack
grass. Those who have had first hand
experience with them know 1t is' far
NiimpIer matter to let such weeds, get q
foofhold on the place than it, is to
eradicate them after they are eStab-
liSfed.

SOME OF THE possibilities.

On and after Sept, l as a result Of
regulations which have recently been
issued by the government American
farmers will have the same right as
German farmers to operate manufac-

poses In this connection the views of
an authority on the subject of the use
Of alcohol are of interest. He contends
that industrial alcohol at 40 cents per
gallon would compete with kerosene at
Is cents, would give an agreeable light
for a longer time, would be perfectly
clean and have no offensive odor, while
the use Of it would be less likely to
produce accidents. If, as has been
claimed as the result of processes of
distillatiOn recently discovered, dena-
tured alcohol can be manufactured at

Lincoln and Stanton.

There was a marked contrast be
tween Lincoln's manner, which was al
ways pleasant and even genial, and
that of Stanton. The latter's stern,
specialized visage commanded instant
respect and in many cases inspired
fear. In receiving visitors, and they
were legion, Stanton seldom or never
sat down, but stood before high desk
as the crowd passed before him and
one by one presented their requests Oh
complaints, which were rapidly dis.
posed of. He was naughty, severe,
domineering and often rude. When l

fully from side to side, and French
waved his hand to the crowd, and

It was only few moments before

appearing perfectly at home. The

Suddenly there was a fash. and
French shot out of the lannon's mouth
and started downward. The para
chute did not open, but no one was
apprehensive at first, believing that it
would right itself before he had
dropped far. Many Of the spectators
cheered, thinking that he was giving
an additional exhibition of daring.
With increasing. rapidity French
shot toward the earth, and the para
chute still remained closed. He was
about halfway down before the on
lockers realized that something was
wrong and then that his death was
certain. AS he fell nearer with the
speed of a comet a low cry of horror
went up from the crowd. Then wO-
men screamed and became hysterical.
Here and there in the thrOngs came
cries for water as other women
dropped to the ground, swooning.
Then there came a silence as the
people gazed, fascinated, on the falling
man, unable to avert their eyes.
With a force that almost tore hole
in its roof. French landed on top of a
barn about a quarter of a mile from
the park and bounced to the ground.
His father, who was in the crowd
that witnessed the ascension, was
among the first to reach the spot
where his sons body. lay. 1t was
found crushed and mangled almost
beyond recognition. The rope of the
useless parachute was still clutched
in his hand. It had become tangled
and prevented the parachute opening.

a rn,No TO REMEMBER

IT is well for the owners Of farms in
the vicinity Of the smaller country
towns to remember that there are
chiefly two factors which tend to affect
the value Of farm real estate. One is
the intrinsic value OF the land repre-
ssnted by it's soil fertility. while the
other is the proximity OF the land to a
good, live town. This condition de
ponds upon the amount of business
which Is done therein. which ini turn
depends; upon the extent to which the
farmers I'm the vicinity trade at home.
re the bulk or even a considerable per
cent Of their business is transacted
with the far away catalogue house ii
goes without saying that this helps to
kill the town, thereby tending to de-
crease the value of every acre of lan6
in the territory tributary to it.

There were at least two dozen of the
snakes, from three to five feet IN

The rosebushes may be rid of the
aphis and red spider by spraying them
frequently with solution made by
sleeping tobacco stems or leaves in
warm water and making up at the ra-
ton of about pound of tobacco to a
tobacco pail full of water. If the rose
mildew appears it may be checked by
sprinkling the bushes with flower of
sulphur or by spraying them with a So
luton made by dissolving one-half
ounce of potassium sulphide in a gal
lon of water.

plant life requires for it's best develop

frequent stirring of the soil, which pro-
