deaux, that the spray will not run to-

would if the particles were driven to-
gether by higher pressure. Arsen-
ate OF lead applied alone for the first
brood of the codling moth, should be
put OH under high pressure, the high
er the better up to 200 pounds. AT
this high pressure, the poison
will be driven through the ru-
diments OF the stamen deep in
to the calyX cups of the young apples.
Paris green applied with a small
quantity of lime and very carefully
strained through fine sieve might
also be applied at a high pressure,
perhaps $50 to 175 pounds per square
inch, though the gritty particles Of
lime would endanger the skin Of the
apples and the foliage to some extent.
Following the spraying for the first
brood of cooling moth, it may not be
necessary or advisable to make any
applications at pressures higher than
125 bounds. In deciding on the char
acter of his spray, the grower must
also take into consideration the dense
ness of the foliage, the height Of the
trees, and the distances to which the
spray must be thrown.
II is customary to advise spraying
until the surfaces of the leaves are
coated with spray in the form of very
fine drops, disseminating the operation
just before the drops begin to run to-
gether and dripping from the foliage
commences. In practice it is difficult
to attain this ideal completely, but
the more nearly 1t can be approached
the better. Yet for the careful and

observant orchardist, variations from
this treatment may be an advantage.
In spraying dormant trees for San
Jose scale, 1t is almost impossible to
coat every twig and fork in the tree
with lime-sulphur solution, unless the
operation is continued until there is
more or less dripping from the trees.
When to Spray.-The most effective
spraying is preventive spraying. III
the foliage and fruit be thoroughly
coated with poison or fungicide before
the first chewing insect or the first
fungus spore light upon them, the
insect will be destroyed at its first
meal and the first fungous infection
will be prevented. When insects or
fungous diseases have become pfenti-
full, both are more difficult to control.
They multiply more and ever more
rapidly. More of them will find unpro-
tected spots ON the foliage and fruit
and secure not only one meal but
several, If they be insects, or obtain
a foot-hold from which to grow and
spread, if they be fungi. The orchard
list may, therefore, accept the follow
ing as the first principle in regard to
time of spraying: Spray to coat the
foliage, twigs or fruit with poison or
Charlevoix county herald., 1908-11-14

For the man without the time or the
inclination to study carefully the prin-
ciples of the operation of spraying, the
best spray to use at all times is a very
fine mist, that will float through the
trees like fog, applied under pres
sure of 125 TO $50 pounds TO the
square inch. The orchardist who notes
carefully the character of the various
insects and fungous enemies which
attack the apple crop, and studies
the effect of different methods Of APP
plying spray mixtures, may vary this
arbitrary recommendation to good ad-
vantage. Dormant tree sprays may
be applied under very high pressures,
as much as 200 pounds to the inch
being an advantage. Applications Of
Bordeaux-Paris green mixture should
be made at pressures of not over 125
pounds per square inch. When thrown
with greater force, the small particles
of gritty matter which Bordeaux mix
ture contains cannot fail to injure to
some extent the skin of the apples
and the foliage on the tree. The writer
believes that, II Bordeaux mixture be
applied alone, 100 pounds pressure is
sufficient to secure fine misty spray

a Clean Sport.

The future of baseball ought to be
bright. Even the crowds which are
now looking at the major league
games are small when compared with
the attendance at great crucial sport
ing contests in England, where often
100000 people pay to see football or
cricket match, though it may be
doubted whether any English sport is
conducted without betting, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. The fu-
ture Of horse racing in America is not
bright, for nobody has yet suggested
a way to make it popular without bet
ting, way to conduct betting without
moral dangers, or a way to teach
Americans Indifference to the waste
fI, cynical, parasitic, vagabondizing
Influences Of gambling. Baseball, a
sport which gains strength from its
conquest of gambling, promises to in
crease it's prestige as the real king of
sports in the United States.

The fisheries congress has discov-
cred the interesting fact that the Mas
sachnsetts cod on which the Pilgrim
fathers and their descendants sub
sisted is responsible for the develop
ment of American intellect, as a
steady brain diet, but also-and here
is where the Puritan settlers will turn
in their graves-its salty qualities de-
veioped the great American thirst
which water alone will not quench.
The fisheries congress had better stop
at this stage Of its discoveries, or all
New England will be up in arms at
these dreadful exposures. That Sec
ton can stand the soft impeachment
about the brain food, but that the
ancient Pilgrim fathers implanted the
thirst Of the modern Kentucky colonel
is too hard pill 20 swallow.

is expected.
versally profitable that it seems
scarcely worth while to discuss it's
benefits. The ever increasing army
of insect and fungous pests requires
ever increasing vigilance and persist
ence in the application of preventive
and remedial measures. The enormous
increase in the area being planted
with apple trees throughout every i'm
portant apple growing region in the
United States is resulting in an in
creasing production of this crop. The
public taste is becoming more and
more discriminating. AS a result of
these factors In the orcharding bust
ness, the possibility of disposing of
poor grade of fruit is decreasing, at
the same time that the actual amount
of insect and fungous injured fruit
is increasing. These selfsame condi-
tons, however, create the opportunity
TO make large profits by producing a
high grade Of fruit. A first-class
grade Of apples cannot be grown in
region such as Illinois, where insect
and fungous pests are very prevalent,
unless special precautions are taken
to guard against them. Illinois pro-
dIces certain varieties of apples OF
unsurpassed flavor and market value,
when free from imperfections caused
by insects and diseases. 1t will pay
to grow perfect specimens of these
varieties. Spraying is the most eff
fective preventive of the damage liza

Why Take Life Too Seriously?

Why Take Life Too Seriously?
Some Of US are beginning to realize
that We have taken life too seriously:
that we have not had enough play;
that we have not had half enough fun.
Many business men see the fallacy OF
working too many hours day. For
merly men thought they must spend
most OF all of the daylight hours in
working. Intense application to bust
ness had become almost religion.
But now they are beginning to learn
that It Is efficiency, mental vigor,
freshness Of mind and body, and not
necessarily long hours that de things;
and that this mental vigor. freshness
and energy which produce efficient
wsrk are impossible when the body
is weary and the brain Is tagged; that
mental robustness means physical ro-
business, writes Orison SWEET Marden
IN Success. So there has been a
steady shortening Of the working
hours Of men Of affairs and an In
creasing of the play hours, just in pro-
portion to the Importance and efficien-
cy of their work and responsibility.
Multitudes Of men now find that they
can accomplish much more in year
by spending part Of the time which
they used to put into work in playing
golf, tennis. or some other game, or in
flying about the country in an automo-
bile. There are plenty Of business
men in this country at the head Of
great establishments who get through
an enormous amount of work, who do
not spend more than three OF four
hours a day in their offices, and who
frequently take long vacations. They
find that good deal of play and mix
ing much with the world not only i'm
proves their health and multiplies
their efficiency, but also gives them a
broader, saner outlook

Clean, N.

The loss is placed at $10,000. Father Butler received letter a few days ago warning him, that unless $1O,000 was paid the writer without delay the college buildings would be burned.
 He paid no attention to the threat. After the fire to-day it developed that the flames originated in a room which had not been occupied for sev- eral days and which contained noth ing that could have caused a fire without assistance. In view of ttis fact Father Butler and others con- nected with the institution are of the opinion that the letter writer carried out his threat

MAY BE A STRIKE.
Freight Handlers Union Not Satis-
 flied With Conditions.

Chicago, June 30.-Railroad en- tering Chicago were threatened with strike by the freight handlers un- ion last night unless within twenty four hours the companies agreed to sign a years wage agreement. A res olution to this effect was passed at a mass meeting attended by 2.000 mem- bers of the union following bitter att tack on railroads by International President P. J. Flannery.
 Without a dissenting voice the un- ion passed the measure which ulti- mately may mean the tying up of the greater part of the freight business of the city.
 Should the railroads refuse the de- mand of the freight handlers and fail to sign the desired contract within the prescribed time. the union voted to allow the calling of the strike to rest in the hands of President Elan nery and the executive board and 10 allow them to use whatever methods they believe best to win the fight.
