Separated at Last.


Tribune publishes an editorial
which will be of interest to citizens
of Jacksonville from the fact that
the aged couple referred to are
now inmates Of the Soldiers home
in this city. The editorial, which
is under the heading, Separation
of the Aged" is as follows:
"Whom God has joined togeth-
or, let no man put asunder. "
That is u beautiful sentiment.
You can see Mrs, James A. Rob
erts as bride, and James A..
Roberts, her husband, young, am
bilious, happy. There is hand
shaking, kisses, good will; and so
the young folks start on the trip
through life together.
That was over fifty years ago.
There must have been real love
and trust, for at the end of a half
century of married life they are
still lovers. They have not pros
pered. financially, although they
have worked hard and we'll. They
are now inmates of the Soldiers
Home in Jacksonville. The edit
or of this paper has known and
esteemed them for twenty years.
Eighteen years ago in Sumterville,
then in Tampa and then in Punta
Gorda, striving to make an hon
orable living. They have made
friends everywhere they have
lived. They are good, honest,
Christian people. They have been
readers of the Tribune from its
first issue, and now write: "Send
us the Tribune. We cannot get
along without it,"
Surely there should be q cheer
full corner in that great building
where an old husband and an old
wife could end their days in com
radeship. Surely there should be
u neat little room, with easy
chairs and some pictures, and
snowy white bed and pot of
flowers in the window.
No. The rules Of infrmaries of
this country, almost without ex-
ception, have little to do with sem
timent. They are political insti-
tutions.
The very food the inmates eat
is measured, and the central idea
is to makes record for economy.
The difference between a home and
Il soldiers home is as wide as the
range of human thought.
So Capt. j. A. Roberts. and his
wife, after fifty years of married
life, agreed to separate-he to 90
to the mems department, She to
the women's.
1t hurt, of course, it hurt. And
it doesn't seem fair, and you know
that the rule that caused the sep.
aration is a harsh rule. Bat it is
the way infrmaries are conducted.
"Whom God has joined togeth-
err, let no man put asunder."
1t doesn't mean much, does it!

OF solid brood, and they were hanging
out at the time of examination with
the temperature at rs degrees in the
shade. Of the 13 colonies packed only
with tarred paper, eight were dead
starved. Two absconded, and went
into other hives, and three were stick
ing out their stings and shaking their
wings at me when / took off their
cover; and by feeding and coaxing
was able to build them up to be
fairly good colonies for wintering by
fall.
1t might be of interest for me to say
that the Al colonies that were rearing
brood during this cold spell averaged
100 pounds per colony in last years
poor season.
In commenting on Mr. Alwin's meth
DDS, the editor of Bee Culture says:
THE use Of two pieces of tarred paper
in place of one will facilitate very ma
terially the packing and unpacking;
but we would suppose that, at the line
where the top piece overlaps the bot
tom one, wind and water would beat
in; and if the hive is tipped a little
sidewise the water would run down
between the packing. Perhaps you
overcame this in some way.
ut is a little surprise to us that you
secured as good results after feeding
in such cold weather, even. though the
strip was given them hot 1t would
have been our opinion that this hot
strip would have so stirred up the col.
ony that bad results would have fol.
lowed. At all events, we would say
that beginners should be cautioned
for unless hives are well packed, and
colonies very strong, such feeding
would be very doubtful proceeding.
In a general way we observe that,
where your hives were packed with
newspapers under tarred paper, you
not only secured excellent results in
winter, but increased materially the
amount of honey. We see no reason
why hives well papered under caps
should not winter their colonies just
as well as those having a wooden CAP
over them. 1t was demonstrated last
winter in our own yard, and reports
went to prove it, that mere paper
cap without packing under it is hardly
sufficient protection for outdoor-win
tered colonies in localities where the
temperature goes down to ten or e
above zero, occasionally lowering
around the zero point. There SHOULD
be several folds of newspaper, old car
peting, blankets, or something under
the cap to provide the necessary in

SPRAY
MIXTURE

w. M. Scott, pathologist in charge Of
orchard spraying demonstrations fol
the bureau of plant industry at aWsh
ington, has been studying the self
boiled lime-sulphur mixture as a prom
Using fungicide, and finds what he be
lieves to be encouraging results. In
relating the results of his experiments
in circular 1, lately issued by the
department of agriculture, Mr.. Scott
says the mixture that gave the most
promising results was composed of ten
pounds of sulphur flowers or -four
and Is pounds of fresh stone lime
to so gallons of water, and may be
prepared as follows:
Place the lime in a 50-gallon barrel
and pour a two or three-gallon bucket
Of boiling water over it. Immediately
add the sulphur and another bucket OF
hot water. The heat from the slak-
ing lime will boil the mixture violently
for several minutes. Some stirring is
necessary to prevent burning, and
more water should be added if the
mass gets too thick to stir, but the
cooking is more effectual when the
minimum quantity of water is used
usually from six to eight gallons be-
ing required.
A piece of old carpet or gunnysack
thrown over the top of the barrel helps
to keep in the heat. The boiling will
continue from 20 to 80 minutes, de.
pending upon the quality of the lime
When the boiling ceases, dilute with
cold water to make so gallons, stir
thoroughly and strain through a sieve
of about so meshes to the inch in order
to take out coarse particles of lime
but all the sulphur should be carefully
worked through.
In similar manner, enough for 15C
gallons may be prepared in a barre
by using 80 pounds of sulphur and AZ
pounds of quicklime, with about &c
gallons of boiling water. When the
boiling ceases, the barrel should be
filled with cold water and diluted with
100 gallons more when transferred to
the spray tank.
In some of the experiments reported
by Mr. Scott a wash consisting of five
pounds of sulphur and ten pounds OF
lime to so gallons of water gave ex
cellent results. This would indicate
that much more dilute mixture thar
the 1O-15-50 formula may prove to be
satisfactory fungicidde. The wash
was also prepared with cold water, in
stead of boiling water, and in some
cases portion of the lime was al
first withheld and later added, small
lump at a time, in order to prolons
the boiling; but the experiments have
not been sufficient to determine def
nitely the correct formula and the best
method of nreparation.

TO the mild winters we have been hav-
ing the last few years. But the sys-
tenn of packing that 1 describe is
meant for spring protection; but l do
not hesitate to advocate this method
Of packing for winter in climate like
that of Ohio. Although our winters
have been mild, our springs have SIM
ply been-well, can't think of word
strong enough to express myself prop
erly-but the average temperature
from the 1st Of April to the 18th of
May was 40 degrees Fair. last year;
and in spite of these conditions l had
my colonies boiling over with bees,
and swarming by the last week of May
and first of June; and if bees rear
brood extensively so that, by the last
of May, the hives are just boiling over
with bees and brood, with the temper
AZURE outside ranging below freezing,
you can certainly winter them out
doors successfully in a climate where
the temperature rarely goes below
zero.
Last spring, March Is, on account of
the mild weather and the restlessness
of the bees, l set 81 good colonies on
their summer stands. OF these,
packed Al according to my method;
and because l ran out of newspapers
the remaining Is were packed with
tarred paper only. This warm weather
was soon followed by a cool spell
;11, 1,0
April On the first of May we were
blessed CD with foot and half of
snow. This was soon followed by Sc
we're cold weather, with the tempera-
ture ranging from five to ten degrees
above zero. This lasted for a week.
During this time made it a practice
to give each colony pint of hot sugar
syrup each day. The Al well-packed
colonies took theirs every day, and
would have taken more. The Is with
only tarred paper would not take the
strip during this cold spell; and every
night l changed hot syrup for cold,
only to find it, next night, cold and un-
touched. Following this cold spell
came q period of warm weather, and
/ took the occasion to examine the
bees and see how they withstood the
cold weather The Al newspaper
packed colonies had, in the eight.
frame colonies, eight frames of broods
or six frames of solid brood, and were
boiling over with bees; and of the
Ferris, or 12-frame colonies, there
were IL frames Of brood or ten frames
