tack the vital organs, causing Catarrh of
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a arrangement of the kidneys and
cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. If you are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
1t corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain i'll passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and TO get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized.
1t stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant TO take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one-dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail, Address, DR.. Kill
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When
writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, and the
address, Binghamton, N. X, on every
bottle.

duced to a minimum when the picking
is cone by trained gangs of men under
the control of the packing house, or
when the packing house employs an
Inspector to guard the different grow
ers against this type of injury. The
injury appears to be more common
when the fruit is picked by the box
and when the pickers are not under
careful supervision. The oranges de-
liyered to packing house by different
growers may vary from 1 to 40 per
cent in the amount of clipper injury,
and a similar variation j. common in
the fruit picked by different men in
the same grove. In several of the
largest interests in California this
type of injury has averaged not over

long. 1t has averaged not over to
3 per cent in large interests which
have handled the fruit with great care,
but it often runs as high as 20 to 80
per cent. There is usually from 2 10
4 times as much stem puncturing in
washed as in dry brushed fruit. Stem
puncturing is caused most commonly
in the grove in dropping the fruit into
the picking bag, and in pouring it in
to the boxes. In the packing house it
is increased by steep gravity runs, by
the oranges dropping into the bins, by
washing the fruit and by other forms
of rough handling. It is most severe
in packing houses with overhead, com
plicated machinery, and in all houses
in which the machinery is run at q
high rate of speed. There are other
common forms of mechanical injury

es in the bottom of the picking boxes,

ton Of hydrocyanic acid gas not only
also been clearly demonstrated in the
pages of this journal that the applica-
ton of hydrocyanic acrd gas not only
destroys scale pests, but stimulates
the trees; while the application of
distillate has had the contrary effect
regarding their grawth and infict-
ing such injuries upon the fruit which
very materially lessened the value.
From all sprayed orchards it has
many times been shown that it is
practically impossible to obtain clean
fruit, thereby entailing the percentages
of loss detailed by Mr.. Powell as a re-
suit of his Investigations into the
causes of decay. Fruit from orchards
that have been kept clean and free
gent fumigation is invariably clean,
requiring no brushing nor washing be-
fore shipment, for the decay is stated
to be in unbrushed fruit and free from
mechanical injuries only about one
per cent No matter from what point
one may view the subject, whether
from the loss of decay-which is
twelve per cent. in washed fruit
whether from the quantity or quality
nf thn ir1nx toh
must be that the best results from our
citrus fruit orchards can only be OBJ
tained by systematic fumigation. 1t
Is true, Mr.. Powell neither prescribes
nor recommends any distinct method
for keeping the orange groves free
from destructive insect pests. That
was not the purpose Of his investiga-
tons, but rather to ascertain the caus-
es of decay of oranges in shipment
This he has successfully accomplished.
He says, ''the decay is caused by a
common mold which usually enters
the fruit through an abrasion in the
skin or else enters an orange that has
had it's resistant power weakened in
some other manner" That the appli-
cation of distillate spray to orange
trees inf1icts great injuries upon them
by sapping their vitality and damag-
ing the fruit is a fact no longer dis
puted by even those who have used the
spraying process. This being true, it
logically follows that the resisting
power of fruit from such trees is cor
respondingly weakened, hence decay
by mold Now, when we again state
it is an acknowledged fact that cyanide
stimulates the trees, the reason why
there is such an insignificant percent
age of decay shown is plain indeed
Mr.. Powell has pointed out the causes
of decay, which of themselves suggest
the remedies; and from reading his
report the thinking and unprecedented
man cannot escape the conviction that
the principal one among them is
thorough and systema tic fumigation.

and apply the gas remedy without de-
ay. 1t is the only effective method.
The following is the report as pub
lished IN the Rural Californian:
The following is Mr.. Powell's report
in full:
Riverside, CAL, May II, 1906.
\ summary Of the principal points
of the investigation of the causes of
decay in oranges in shipment in 1906,
by the Bureau of Plant Industry, U.
S. Department of Agriculture.
The loss from decay in oranges in 1905
amounted to- $1,OOO,OOO or more. The
decay is caused by a common mold
which usually enters the fruit through
an abrasion in the skin or else enters
an orange that has had it's resisting
ner. More than half the decay in the
eastern markets can be readily traced
to mechanical injuries in the skin OF
the fruit Moist, warm air provides
ideal conditions for the growth of the
decay. Cold air or dry air may pre-
vent the termination of the moll
spores and retard the growth OF the
disease if it has already started. 1t is
unusual for decay ITO appear in Il
clean, sound orange even under ad-
verse conditions.
The investigation in 1906 has cover
ed the following field
1. The mechanical injury in picking
the fruit and the damage done by
handling it in packing house.
2. The decay in sound unbruised,
brushed and washed fruit and in fruit
all of which has been injured by the
clippers in picking. 10y stems punching
other oranges or abrasions of other
kinds.
g. The decay in sound unbrushed,
brushed and washed fruit in the coast,
mid-valley, and upper San Bernardino
valley regions
4. The decay in New York in sound
unbrushed, brushed, washed, and in
mechanically injured fruit shipped I'M
der ventila ton, under icing, and under
preceding. In the last method the
fruit is cooled to 80 to 10 degrees Fair,
in a coldstorage warehouse before
shipping, and is then forwarded under
icing.
5. The decay in New York in sound
unbrushed, brushed, washed, and me-
chanically injured fruit delayed from
one to seven days after packing in the
packing house.
6. The distribution of decay in the
car in unbrushed, brushed, washed
and in imperfect fruit when shipped to
New York.

if the growers will fully grasp the
meaning of the results of Mr.. PoWell's
investiga tons they will keep cleaner
and better orchards. Then will follow
better fruit and better markets. Spray
ing means cheap and poor fruit, no
matter how much care there is taken
in picking and packing. 1t has no
keeping qualities and readily succumbs
to mold. BY the process of fumigatioA
clean fruit is produced, and more
abundantly, and which is also better in
quality than that from sprayed orch
ards. Fumigation in brief, is the pith
of the matter so far as the successful
comba ting of insect pests is concern
ed, and which means clean orchards.
X
Reference was made in the last issue
of The Rural Californian to the good
work being carried on in Visalia for
the determination Of red scale by the
process Of fumigation. The citrus fruit
sections Of the northern part of the
state are badly infested with the
brown scale, and unless quickly
brought under subsection will cause
great damage. Growers have been led
to believe by some ill-advised horti
cultural officials that this scale pest
would work no material harm to Or
ange groves, with the result that it
has become a serious menace Unless
checked Immediately it will draw
heavily upon the life blood of the trees,
so ma terially weakening them that
they will be unable to produce sound
and marketable fruit The report of
Mr.. Powell clearly infers that fruit
from trees whose vitality has been
weakened has not the requisite keep
ing qualities, and is more subject to
decay than that from vigorous trees
orange ureeS cannon produce good
crops when infested with scale, and
this will prove true in the northern
citrus sections of the state ir the
brown scale is allowed free play in the
orchards. The growers of Visalia
thoroughly understand this, and have
gone herOically to work to clean up
their groves by the use Of hydrocyanic
acid gas. The citrus growers in the
other sections should do likewise, for
it means dollars and cents in their
pockets. TO neglect it will cause loss
measured by the amount of vitality
the trees have lost, by the ravages of
brown scale. What has been written
above touching upon the results of
Mr.. PoWell's investigation in South
ern California applies with equal force
to the northern part of the state The
Drown scale is pest the growers UP
there should hold in great detestation

per cent. by decay, a deterioration of
their fruit generally and a loss in re-
turns. They should get out their tents

Soft Metal Caps on Projectiles.

The function of the soft metal cap on ar
piercing projecties has been hereto
fore ascribed to the melting of the soft
metal at the instant of impact, thus lubri-
eating the way for the passage of the har-
der metal A German scientist, who has
given the matter some attention, now ex-
plains that by the presence of the yielding
mass the point of the proJectile proper is
saved from reformation at the instant of
impact, and, acting a cushion, distributes
the pressure over fairly large cross-sec-
ton. instead of allowing 1t to concentrate
on the point. which would otherwise frac-
ture. The real point of the projectile is
thus preserved in its proper shape to cut its
way through the target.
