ready to use the next day.
The following morning when ready to
begin spraying fill the cask almost
full Of water, leaving room, however,
for the ingredients. l then strain the
lime solution into the cask, next twelve
gallons of blue vitriol solution and last
ly the paris green mixture.
Then place the ends Of the pump
hose 80 as to pump the mixture back
into the cask and run the pump several
minutes In order to thoroughly mix the
entire solution.
In spraying apply the mixture with
sufficient force to reach every part Of
the tree and foliage, giving fine, misty
spray until the tree is well covered,
which is indicated by slight droppings
Of the mixture from the trees. Make 1t
a practice to spray three times each
season.
The first spraying is commenced Just
before the blossom buds open in the
spring. 1t is Mt this time that the
canker worm, bud moth. leaf crllmpler,
leaf folder and cigar case borer are
making preparations to begin their de-
structive work In the orchard. As
these insects are in their infancy at
this period 1t is the proper time to gain
possession ahead of them.
In spraying the second time l begin
just as soon as the petals of the bios
sons have dropped, and make the third
spraying ten days later.
I regard the second spraying as be-
Ing the most important Of all, as al
most every pest by this time is doing
ravenous work.
OF all the enemies Of tree fruit Gull
ture l consider the codling moth the
most destructive. 1t lays its eggs in
the calyx or blossom end Of the form
Ing apple or pear. and in few days
the egg matches and the tiny worm eats
Its way into the fruit.
| About the only way-or at least this
Is the only way know of-any bene-
fetal results can be obtained from
spraying for this pest is to spray while
the calyx is expanded and while the
forming fruit Is standing upward upon
Its stem.
If the spraying is neglected until the
calyx closes and the fruit has turned
downward, most of the insects will be
inside the fruit and spraying then will
be of little benefit.
To receive the most beneficial re-
suits from spraying and to save the
mixture as much as possible, It is es-
sentlal to spray thoroughly from both
sides of the trees and positively not
against the wind, even though the wind
may seem light.
1t is evident that II part of the fol-
iage Of the tree is not sprayed, the un-
sprayed parts are as open to the at
tacks Of the fungous spores and the
stings of the curculio as though there
had been no spray within mile of the
tree.
In order that may not make any
mistake and forget, I keep written
memorandum of the date and side on
: which tree is sprayed; for, with
: changeable winds and rain showers. 1t
takes considerable thought at times to
! get all trees sprayed on both Sides

po,,r4E HAWAIIAN STAFF OF LIFE
Peculiar Food Of Much Value and
Used BY Many In TerrItory-An


What bread Is to the American or
European, poi is to the native Ha-
waiian. No meal is complete without
1t. and for the great majority Of the
natives 1t forms the principal article
Of diet. While they probably could
at the present time live without this
accustomed dish. the time once was,
before the advent Of the whites to
the Islands and the introduction OF
new foods. that life without it would
at least have been precarious.
Poi is made from the tuberous root
of the Taro plant, species of the
Caladium family, OF which the well
known elephant ear plant is also a
member. The tuber, which averages
in size that of large sweet potato,
is baked and afterwards pounded up
with water until smooth white paste
is obtained much resembling wheat
| -four paste except that the color Is
! pale pink or purple, dependent upon
| the variety OF taro used. This paste
/ is allowed to slightly ferment, or
sour, when It is ready for use. In
olden times each family prepared ita
own poi, the work being done by the
men, as in fact were most other cook
! ing operations. At the present time
moi factories in which machinery
grinds the taro and mikes 1t on large
scale have largely supplanted the old
hand method. The Chinese of the
territory have come to be the leading
manufacturers OF the product
Many OF the white residents OF the
J Islands eat poi to almost the extent as
the natives. but the taste Is largely
acquired. and strangers seldom care
for 1t. Poi has a high food value, and
since it formed the principal article
i of diet of the old Hawaiians. some per-
sons have credited it with the snlen-
did physical DEVELOPMENT Of the race.

Proper Feeding of Pigs.

There Is a difference between grow

early period Of pigs life the feed
should be moderate in quantity and

Young swine should not be kept fat,

growing condition. They should be
allowed the chance Of large, free ex-
ercise in the open. Pigs cannot grow
