Treating San Jose Scale.

The aggressive orchardists of Mary

scale, but in number of localities this
pest affords serious difficulties. Wher-
ever Usage orange hedges become in
tested the difficulty of eradicating the
San Jose scale is increased.
A number of experiments were tried
ent insecticides in combating the pest.
Lime and sulphur mixtures were used
containing from 20 to 80 pounds of
lime and from 10 to % pounds of sui
phur per so gallons of water. The
llme-sulphur-sait mixture, tested by
the authors, was made according to the
formula 20-15-10-50. Lime-sulphur-
caustic soda preparations were also
employed, as we'll as mixture con-
tanning Is pounds of sulphur and 10
pounds of caustic soda per so gallons
of water.
In most cases the weaker lime-sul-
phur preparations were about as eff
fective as the stronger, but in a few
instances an increased effectiveness
was noticed where So pounds of lime
and 80 pounds of sulphur were used
per so gallons of water. Perfectly sat
isfactory results were obtained from
the use of lime sulphur-salt, and lime
sulphur-caustic soda also proved fair

mixture was not so satisfactory. Kero-
sene limoid did not prove to be good
substitute for lime-sulphur. Certain
proprietary remedies were tested and
notes were given on the preparation OF
the various insecticides which We're
used.

Where lumber is cheap and stone high,

Jennie Chambers Dead.

Miss Jennie Chambers, daughter OF
the late Edmund Chambers, died at her
home in Harpers Ferry, W. Va, May
II, Of apoplexy, aged G3 years. She

If the labor annually bestowed in the
endeavor to eradicate weeds could lie
applied at the proper times not only
would the nuisance be removed, but
the labor lessened. In the case Of
weeds the slightest amount of labor
saved in emitting to kill them when it
should be done entails greater labor at
lost. During the eradication or de-
struction of weeds the regular crops
may be cultivated and the land put in
better condition. One Of the greatest
mistakes is in not destroying the weeds
when they first appear. 1t will require
less labor to destroy a hundred weeds
when they are young than to Kill
single plant after it has made consid-
cradle, growth, to say nothing Of the
fact that every weed that reaches ma
turity and produces seeds leaves great
err work to be done afterWard. Al
though farmers are busiest in spring,
yet by properly preparing the land for
the intended crop they gain time. For
year Or two the farmer may find 1t
difficult work combating weeds, but
the time so devoted will be regained
fo,lrfold in after years Weeds can
best be destroyed when rotation is
used, and the ground should be plowed
for corn early enough in the spring to
allow of the sprouting of weed seeds.
This sprouting of the weed seeds is the
most important part of the process, and
the farmer should be willing to per
form any amount of labor if he can
sprout them at a time when they will
not interfere with a growing crop.

HEAVENLY CITIZENSHIP

By Rev. M. M. Davis.
Text-"Our citizenship is in Heaven. "
Phil. iii: 20.
our privileges are not always ap-
Dreciated. Many are like the man with
palace for a home and vet he per-
slsts IN living in some dark and dingv
hut, devoid of every pleasure essential
to true home. And others claim that
since their citizenship is in Heaven
there are no obligations to earthly gov
ernments, and they refuse to vote, to
hold office Or have anything to do with
political life. Such men are in con-
fict with both reason and revelation.
NO true man, enjoying the privileges
and protection Of a home, can be indif-
ferent to it's interests. The citizen who
is truest to the Heavenly Government
VIII be truest to the government of
earth.
A deycut Christian woman. anxious
to interest a wealthy lover of society
in Christian work, took her to see a
poor old saint, ripe for the garner of
God and patiently waiting for the call
of her Lord. When they left the main
street to enter an obscure one, her
friend wildly protested, but was told
that it was better farther on. And So,
gathering up her skirts, she climbed
the stairway to a garnet, where she
found a cozy little room, neat and
clean, with a carpet On the floor and
pictures On the wall and flowers in
the window. And there she met the
lOveliest spirit she had ever met.
Though bedridden for years and I'M
able to walk a step, she was bright as
a sunbeam and as happy as the lark
when singing it's morning carol.
Though suffering at times the most ex-
cruciating pain, there was never a
murmur on her lips. Her visitor had a
tender heart and she was soon in thor
ough sympathy with the beautiful old
Christian, and she said to her. 'It must
be hard for you to live here all alone
and suffer so much"
yes" she replied, at is sometimes
a little hard, when my sufferings are
almost more than I can bear. But
am not alone. Good friends, like this
angel at your side, come to see me
every day and bring me everything
need. And, then, Jesus is always with
me-" Aud then, lifting her eyes to-
ward Heaven and pointing her thin
white finger upward, she said: "It is
better farther on"
And so it is for the Christian, for
the path of the just is as the shining
light that shineth more and more unto
the perfect day.

make gallons of whitewash the or

during the stacking. Mix the whole

and use as much or little as you choose,
but apply hot, and believe you will
find it will not rub off or make the

aires son or the son Of the poorest man
In the world. Let him have justice with
mercy. Christianity cries out for it.
Ihls indulgence of the rich, because
they can buy juries or influence judges
or because they can hire the false wit
nesses, or because they can win favors
from the sheriffs and police; this in
diligence of the inherited rich is the
disgrace Of our land
Riches without righteousness are no
marx Of true prosperity. Learning and
goodness are. Oh, the thought that
sweeps into my mind as I think how
ood is letting His curses fall upon
those who have power for good and
feIuse to use it for the good of human
lily. They cannot prosper.
AND so when the Ark of God came
into the home of Obed-edom and he
prospered in all that he did, it was
simply the coming in of that revelation
OF himself So that we must study
Obed-edom to find out what was prosl
perlty. God led him to search himself,
ana when he did he found that true
prosperity was very far from the
achievements Of earth in which we
often think there is prosperity. It was
III the condition Of the heart; it was
IN the soul; it was in the liberty Of the
nina, 1t was in the disposition to ap-
preclate and worship God. There was
MS prosperity. The man who really
loves God, who limits his desires to the
law OF God; the man that is full of the
BEST things of earth and heaven, his
only ambition is to prosper in those
ways that are pure and right and holy
in Gods sight.

silage if permitted to rest on it. In
case the wood portion of the silo rises
"a or more feet above the stone work
and the diameter is more than - feet,
it will be best to stay the top Of the
wall in some way. If the woodwork
rises from the outer edge of the wall,
then building the wall up with cemenf
so as to cover the sill will give the
needed strength, because the woodwork
will act as a hoop; but if the silo
stands at the inner face of the wall
it will be best to lay pieces of iron
rod in the wall near the top to act as
hoop.
The studding of The atwood round
silo need not be larger than 2 inches by
4 inches, unless the diameter is to ex-
coed 80 feet, but they should be set as
close together as one foot from center
to center This number of studs is not
required for strength, but they are
needed in order to bring the two layers
of lining very close together, so as to
press the paper closely.

SHORT METER SERMONS.

The empty head never is hungry.
The love without branches is with
out roots.
Living heartily is one secret Of living
happily.
The only evil that can harm us is the
evil we love.
The man who is steadfast is not go
ing to stick fast.
He who prays for himself alone prays
only to himself.
The weapon of malice always goes
off at the wrong end.
The critic is the last to discover his
own crookedness.
The man who faces both ways never
sees much any way.
The fairest flowers of joy spring from
the soil of sacrifice.
It never hurts your grip on a doc
trine to lay hold Of a duty.
The man who lives with God does not
have to advertise the fact.
The more wind you find in faith
the less work it is doing in the world
You cannot bear the fruits of heaven
if Won live in the clouds Of hatred.
There are too many people trying to
clean I'D the world by scalding their
neighbors.
It's always the short winded man
uho does the loudest shouting at a
footrace.
A great many saints blow the gas out
with their signing and then complain
that God has forsaken them.
There is a good deal of difference be-
tween believing what we are told about
tbo Father in heaven and believing
what he tells us.

1t is always best to start with full

every respect in frst-class condition.
It is true that one can buy part Of

able to be failure. A strong colony
Of bees in one season Is capable Of stor
ing 100 or 200 pounds of honey; be-

the necessary fixtures to have every
thing in working order the moment the
bees are located and the entrance open.

alongside, providing for doors opening

is fed to milking COWS, directly there
is a danger of its odor filling the sta

Experience with Manure Spreader.
My experience with the manure
spreader teaches me that the modern
method of applying manure to land is
far in advance of the old practice, says
a writer in Farm and Fireside. In ap
plying manure with the spreader it Is
put on uniformly, and all parts Of the
field are equally benefited. When the
manure was dumped in piles, it fire.
quently happened that the work of
spreading was postponed for some
time, and the result was that much Of
the fertlizing value of the manure
leached out or was lost through fer
mentation. The manure spreader not
only saves the plant food elements Of
the manure, but also saves time and
labor, as the work is all done at one
time. 1t does two very important
things and does them well-it thor
oughly fines the manure and distrib-
utes it evenly.

How Billy Saved the Guns.
An incident of the Battle of Winches-
ter, Sept. 9, 1864, under Sheridan.
Do you want to hear the story
Of the boy who bore Old Glory,
When the battle was a-raging fierce and
hot?
Well, just draw your camp stools
higher
To this coy little fire,
And I'll tell it to you, comrades, on the
spot.
It was over in the valley,
Just before the final rally,
Which sent Early's forty thousand reel
ing back!
Oh, the fighting was tremendous!
While all around stupendous!
Was heard the trusty musket's deadly
crack
we u 1EOu1 poS1LloA
Just to get more ammunition,
And were listening to the music of the
she'll
AS it rose in lofty chorus,
All around, behind, before us,
And on our ears in tones of thunder fell.
When, through the rush and rattle,
Of the deafening, deadly battle,
Rode the dashing, fighting fearless
Sheridan
And, to our waiting colonel,
In language not supernal.
Gave his famous, forceful, resolute
command:
Move your regiment to the right, sir !.
And again renew the fight, sir!
By retaking those two guns we lost this
morn;
The loss is felt severely,
Their value held most dearly,
And God help you, while you face the
leaden storm -
Fright about :" the colonel shouted,
And not a man then doubted
That soon again he'd meet the binding
shell;
For, moving with precision,
To the right of the division,
We rushed into the very jaws of hell
On and on we went awhooping,
While the Johnnies kept a-shooting,
And the cannon simply shaking up the
ground;
The muskets kept a-cracl1ing,
AS the boys kept up their whacking,
With the dead and dying scattered all
around.
But just then their cannonading
Got in it's enfilading,
And raked our thinning ranks from left
to right;
When back we went to shelter,
In a kind of helter-skelter,
But Billy stood a-cheering all his
might.
"Come back - the colonel shouted,
Don't you see the boys are routed?
Bring the colors back, or captured they
will be!'
mary back - cried Billy loudly,
And he waved Old Glory proudly,
Bring the regiment back and form a line
on me ~
Then again, through fire binding,
Rushed the regiment, only finding
Dead and dying in it's pathway as before !;
But the guns, for which we'd battled,
From whose threats the shots had rat
tied,
Were retaken, and the fearful fight was
DER.
So you've heard my little story
OF the boy who bore Old Glory
Of our color-bearer brave, who never
The one who, never fearing,
Stood his ground and kept a-cheering-
The boy whose splendid courage saved
the guns!

Kill Poultry. Sting Cattle, and Severe

Londoa.-From Capetown comes
the following: A very large number
of turkeys geese, ducks, fowls and
chickens were recently killed in the
Stellenbosch districts, in quite a
unique way.
A few days ago several hives on
Mr.. Choate's farm, Klapmu.s. which
had been there for q number of years,
were attacked by what is known in
the Dutch language as the motbij. pre-
sumably with the object of eating the
honey. In consequence of this, it ap-
pears that the bees showed their re-
sentiment by stinging all the poultry
on the farm and practically annihilat-
ed the lot. They further attacked the
occupants, who had a very rough aft
ernoon, struggling to gain the victory
over the bees. 1t is said that one of
the negro domestic servants was un.
recognizable after the engagement.
1t was fortunate that the cattle and
horses were in the field, otherwise
things might have been more serious.
In the evening everything became
more normal, when the bees were
smoked out with sulphur and exter-
minated. 1t is said that the expert
ence which the residents of the farm
