PLANT LOUISE REnEDIEs.

This is the time OF year when plant
lice, often known as green flies" OF
green bugs" increase rapidly and be-
come serious pests to out Of door
plants and trees. A few that are al
nost certain to attract attention are
the red louise. or golden glow. the
black louise of the cherry trees, the
black peach aphis, green lice upon
rose bushes, cabbages, apple trees,
and plum trees, the woody aphis OF
the apple tree, and probably many
others. These plant lice are usually
rather easy insects to kill if taken in
time
The food of tn. plant lice is always
the sap of the plant they infest. AS
this sap is taken through a hollow
beak that is thrust beneath the SUR
face, it is useless to attempt to poison
them Thorough their food supply.
The remedy must be a contact in
secticide, one that will kill by coming
in contact with the body of the louise.
The most effective insecticides of this
kind for summer use are oil emul-
sions, tobacco decoctions, or soapy
mixtures. --- ----
To Prepare the Kerosene Emulsion.
Dissolve one pound of ordinary
washing soap in one gallon of water.
While the latter is still boiling hot
remove from the stove and add two
gallons of kerosene. Agitate this by
pumping it forcibly back into the YES
sci containing it and then dilute to
thirty gallons, when the mixture will
be ready for APPLICATION. 1t is best to
apply it at once.
Black Leaf Dip.
One of the best remedies for plant
lice is the common sheep dip sold un-
der the name of BLACK Leaf" Di-
lutte this with water in the proportion
of one part of the dip seventy parts
of water. and you will have one of the
very best spray materials for the de-
struction of plant lice.
Whale OIL Soap.
Any good whale or fish oil soap in
the proportion of one pound of the
soap to eight gallons of water will be
found quite sufficient for the destruc-
ton of plant lice If sprayed with force
and thoroughness upon their bodies.

OF FROST FIGHTING METHODS

1 eral forms Of open fires have, been
used. Some growers have saved their
crops by building wood or coal fires
amonS the trees, while others have
resorted to the use OF patent devices
for burning oil or coal. Some of the
prettiest demonstrations in successful
frost sdghting under most trying con-
ditions were made this spring, using
an oil pot manufactured by the Frost
Prevention company Of Fresno. Cal.
This Is very simple sheet iron pot.
large enough to hold a gallon of oil.
1t is supplied with a lid which may
be used to regulate or to smother the
blaze. When filled with Florence
crude petroleum, it will burn three
hours with maximum blaze, or lon
ger II the blaze is controlled with the
cover. With such pots burning the
light crude oils OF Colorado it will be
necessary to equip the orchard with
100 pots per acre to insure protection
against minimum temperature of
% degrees F. 1t is very seldom that
these will be used, but the, number
is necessary as some must be held in
reserve to be used while others are
being refilled. 1t would seem that a
pot with a capacity to burn longer
would come nearer meeting our con-
ditions. as it requires a large amount
of ready help to refill the pots dur
ing the night The question Of fuel
is one that must be looked into. and
If possible heavier oil should be
secured and a special freight rate OBJ
tanned which will place it in the hands
Of the growers at minimum cost.
Another patent device. not so ex-
tensively tried, but promising good re-
suits, is coal pot. invented by Mr..
Bryan OF Paonia, Colorado. This is
really a sheet steel stove with an un-
der draft, designed to burn nut or
broken lump coal. ton OF coal be-
ing sufficient to charge one thousand
pots for a nights burning They are
supplied with cover and may be
charged with kindling and coal at any
time and placed in the orchard for
future use
When the occasion arises for start
ing them, they are readily set by
pouring on little kerosene, The pot
gives asNery good heat, and il used
at the rate of one for each tree. will
keep the temperature above the dan
ger point. - y
Other devices for burning coal have
heea suggested, and II Is surprising
how simple a contrivance may be.
With open hres 1t must be elapAa-
sized that large fres should be avoid
ed an they tend To- create upward
drafts and carry the heat upward.
While the orchardists should begin to
think about protection for another
year, they should plan to cooperate
in choosing the best system for their
They should not jump at
any plan without thorough investiga-
ton.

The partial loss OF another promts'
ing fruit crop should arouse the fruit
growers of Colorado to concerted &C.
ton in the protection OF our fruit
against untimely frosts. The past two
seasons have not shaken our faith
In the possibilities OF Colorado as a
fruit section, but on the contrary have
proved that It is ona OF the most IA
vored. Each year we have saved a
partial crop; while many other sec
tions have lost all. Again. they have
proved that our fruit districts are not
exempt from injury from late frosts
and at least suggest that high land
values cannot be maintained unless
such loss may be averted. Luckily
for the gruit growers at large, a few
of our enterprising growers have to a
certain extent demonstrated the posi-
bilities OF frost protection
Various methods OF frost fighting
have been resorted to not only in
Colorado, but much more extensively
In other fruit sections. or the dif-
ferent methods probably none has
been more universally tried than
smudging. The philosophy OF this
form OF frost protection Is to prevent
the radiation OF heat from the earth s
surface by maintaining a cloud OF
smoke over the area to be protected.
The theory is all right, for we know
frosts do not occur on cloudy nights;
but the past season, ! think. has fully
demonstrated that such protection will
not always meet the requirements
Within certain limits, smudging is suf-
ficient, but when normally more than
i've or six degrees of frost are ex-
pected. it is inadequate. However,
with no other means OF protection at
hand. the grower should prepare for
smudging, as 1t is only in extreme
cases that 1t proves a failure. Two
essentials to successful smudging are
an abundance of smudge material and
concerted action Since smudging Is a
preventative rather than cure.

The Limit OF Life.

The most eminent medical scien-

that the generally accepted limitation
of human life is many years below the
attainment possible with the advanc-
ed knowledge Of which the race is
now possessed. The critical period,
that determines it's duration, seems
TO be between 80 and 60; the proper
care of the body during this decade
cannot be too strongly urged; care
lessness then being fatal TO longevity.

suicide by cutting his throat with Il
razor at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon.
He mad been in poor health, and 4
week ago was stricken with paraly-
sis and mad been having commissions,
Walking down to the barn al the
home of his son, Carlos Quis lnberry,
with whom he resided, ne placed a
pan upon The floor and standing over
il cut his throat almost from ear TO
ear just missing the jugular vein.
Throwing away The razor with
which he had committed the deed.
and after about a quart of blood had
flowed into The pan he started TO the
house, but fell just outside the barn,
falling INFO a pool of water and mud.
He remained hercSuntil he was found
by Mr.. Vinccni, who carried him TO
the house.
The wound itself will not prove
fatal, but his age 20 years and the
amount of blood he lost, and his
weakened condition will cause his
death. He had no trouble of any
kind except the fact that his wife
died three months ago. No hope for
his recovery is entertained. He has
two sons, Carlos of this city, and Ed

daughter, Mrs. Thomas Riggs of this
city. Mr.. QuisC MERRY was the Oldest

Telegraphing to a Star.

Sir Robert Ball writing in the Home
Messenger, remarks that If row of tel
egraph posts $4,000 miles long were
erected round the earth at the equator
and wire stretched upon these posts
for this circuitof $4,000 miles, and that
then the wire be wound no fewer than
seven times completely about this great
globe, We should then find an electric
signal, sent into the wire at one emf,
would accomplish the seven circuits
in one second of time. To telegraph,
however, to the nearest star it would
take four years before the electricity
would reach its destination.
