HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT


J. H. Kirkpatrick, Ferndale, WaSn,
writes very interesting letter to The
Ranch relative to his experience in
number of things. We would be glad
to publish his letter in full, but our
lack of space compels us to abbrev1ate
somewhat Mr.. Kirkpatrick says: Il
noticed in The Ranch some time ago
some one asking the cause OF so many
yellow Jackets during the summer oil
1907. They were SO bad at my place
in Whatcom county that l had to make
cider after dark to avoid them. There
were thousands of them around the
mill so that we had to brush them Off
from everything we wanted to handle.
Yellow Jackets, like bees, to winter
we'll, should go to sleep in the fall
and remain dormant till late in the
spring. Two years ago this winter
was an ideal winter for bees and
iackets-a long, cool, dry winter. Last
winter was just the opposite. 1t was
so warm last winter that we really
did not have any winter weather. Inc
warm sunny days kept the bees and
yellow Jackets from remaining DOR
mant.. Many wandered away and be-
coming chilled never got back to their
homes. They ate up their supplies.
wandering away from their nests
came very near putting an end to the
Jackets, for I don't call to mind seeing
a single one last summer.
"a nurseryman told me last summer
that peaches were not grown on the
Sound because the curl leaf was so
bad. If we had nothing but curl leaf
to contend with fruit growing would
be a snap. l have been experimenting
with peaches for the last ten years,
and | believe | can grow as good
peaches as Yakima or Wenatchee, pos
sibly not quite so large, but for color
and quality I don't believe they can
beat me at all. Give your peach trees
a good coating of the lime-sulphur
wash for the leaf curl, plenty OF good
manure and good cultivation and peo-
pie on the west side will not need to
import peaches. / do not want to de-
tract anything from the East side
peaches for they are hard to beat, but
there is no excuse for any one VINO
has a farm or garden on the Sound
not growing all the peaches he wants
and some to sell.
"Now, Mr.. Editor, if these thoughts
are worth anything, I should like to
swap them for little information Tor
myself. | have been troubled for some
time with powdery mildew on my ap-
pie trees. The mildew comes about the
middle of June when the weather is
warm and damp and the new shoots
are about foot long. have tried the
Bordeaux mixture, I've and the lime
sulphur wash, but none of them seems
to kill the spores of the mildew. This
year l shall work the ground clean
around the trees and use the lime-sul-
phur wash. What else can l do to kill
the mildew Spores"
fully agree with friend Kirkpatrick
that he can raise as good peaches in
Whatcom county as can be raised any
where in the state, but I can not agree
with him when he says that they may
not be as large as raised elsewhere.

aratlOn from the Nassau Circuit, which
coupled with the loss of their belong
ings in the parsonage. goes to make the
great church fight which is now at its
height. At a meeting Of the official
Board Of COnley's Church a few days
ago, resolution was passed to the sf-
feet that they would not stand for
the division and that the church doors.
would be closed against the Rev. Mr.
Ellis.
True to the edict, it was carried out
to the letter, and upon the arrival Of
the pastor last Sunday he found the
doors closed agains, him while large
assembly was on the outside waiting
for admission.
Finally after much persuasion or~the
part Of some Of the mem bers OF the
church, the officials consented to open
the doors and allow him to preach. AT
the conc. usiOn Of the sermon q heated
debate took place between the officials
and some Of the members, and many
OF them almost came to blows. Three
members Of the Board OF Stewards
have firmly resolved not to allow the
doors to be opened if within their pow
to prevent; while the other two have
consented to accept the Rev. Mr.. Ellis
rs their pastor. The flight is far frOna
being ended and the outcome is being
looked forward to with great interest
by the residents in the 10 yer part Of
the county, as q majority Of them are
either members Of the churches or reg.
ular attendants. The official boards
Of Ebenezer and Whites Chapel have
also entered into the fight against the
division Of the circuit, but so far the
doors Of those churches have not been
closed against the minister assigned
them-the Rev. w. H. Hudson.
Should the strife continue to exist
throughout the conference year and no
definite arrangements be reached, the
matter will be taken up at the next
session Of conference, and an effort be
made TO have the churches returned to.

Church.

The Care of the Bathroom
S. Maria Elliott.

From the bathroom may come
gases OF decomposition which rem
der the air impure, and which tar
nish silverware and other metals.
| A greater danger is the possibility
of serious diseases from infectious
germs. These dangers arise chiefly
from the hidden parts Of the plumb
ing or from filth in cracks and cor
ners of the finish or furnishings.
Safety requires that finish and fur
nishings be simple and few-nOn-
absorbent, smooth. cleanable; and
that the important parts be easily
! accessible. Each connecting pipe
is a miniature sewer. The care of
bathroom, then, means first its
proper use each time, by every in
dividual.
A typical bathroom contains at
least three hxtures-bath, basin,
closet.
The closet has the largest pipe Of
any fixture, yet this one is seldom
over four inches in diameter. Water
pipes from basin and baths have a
diameter from One-half to two and
a halfinches. Nothing should go
into these pipes that will not read
lily mix with water. Hair, matches,
fruit parings, buttons and rags do
not belong here.
In each pipe, near the fixture,
there should be a bend or some
contrivance which will hold the
last water which goes down. This
trav with its water-seal prevents
gases, or possibly minute bits of
solid matter from coming back into
the room. The seal, then, should
be clean water. 1t will not be. I'M
less clean water is run into the fix
ture after the dirty water runs out;
therefore leave clean water in the
trap.
Baths and basins are provided |
with some opening by which water
may escape if the faucets are left |
open when the waste pipe is plug |
ged. 1t receives the greasy, soapy, |
top of the dirty water, when full |
bowl is used, and seldom, if ever,
even gets rinsed, unless the fixture
overhows, and is never thoroughly
cleaned unless special attention be
given to it. Frequently the plug
should be put in and the basin al
lowed to fill with hot water.
The Golden Rule should be in
mind after a bath tub is used. The
scum which is left on the sides Of

tions has broken out between the differ
ent congregations Of the Nassau Circuit
since the division was made at the re-
cent session Of the Methodist Episcopal
Conference held in Milford last month,
Nassau Circuit formerly comprised
EpwOrth Church OF RehOboth, Ebene.
zer Church, Whites Chapel, and Con-
ley's Church in the vicinity Of Cool
Spring and Nassau. During the session
Of conference q delegation from the Re-
both Church went to Milford and ask
ed that EpwOrth Church be severed
from the circuit and made q station
with Rev. e. r Ellis as the pastor.
As the four churches on the circuit con-
tributed for pastoral services about $500
a year, it was found that Epworth
Church could not raise more than $3.50
after Withdrawing from the circuit.
This reduction in salary was not at all
pleasing TO Rev. MIR Ellis, and a com.
promise was fiually effected in which
COnley's Church was to be~taken in
with the Rehoboth Church by paying
$3.50 salary, which would thus make
up the $500, or the amount raised by
all the churches Of the circuit. This
was pleasing to Rev. Mr.. Ellis and he
accepted the charge.
The circuit parsonage is located at
Nassau and as soon as the division was
made the question as to the erection of
y new parsonage was at once raised. AS

bottom when the water runs off
should not be left to be cleaned off
by the next bather or to pollute the
next bath water. To leave an un.
cleaned bath tub is a sin against
good taste and decency.
A closet vault is less likely to
become fouled if it be flushed be-
fore as well as after use. The sides
are then wet, and then dangerous
splashes from the excreta will not
lodge. The closet should have all
the light and air it can, preferably
sunlight; this cannot be if the COW

If it is down when the closet is
flushed, it is usually splattered.
/ These splatters may carry infectious
matter. The finish on the under
part of the seat often becomes bro
ken by the action of water, so that
disagreeable odors and dangerous
dust may result. Ifthe seat is rails

Before opening the door see that
the window is lowered at the top

The daily care of a well-used
bathroom is simple and easy. Have
the shade rolled to the top and the
window open. Before emptying
chamber slops into the closet, raise
the seat. Be careful not to spill or
splatter. Flush generously. Put
into the closet a generous handful
of sal soda, or make a strong soap

other fixtures are being cleaned |
Clean the furnishings Of the basin,
remembering that drinking water
glasses and pitchers, closet and
bath should not be washed with |
the same cloth. Turn the cleaned |
tumblers upside down.
Leave soap, soapdish and mirror
clean; tooth brushes, sponges or
other damp articles where they will
dry quickly. Mix together a little
cooking soda and kerosene. With
a cloth rub this vigorously over the
marble slab and bowl, especially
under the rim which often projects

MUCH has been written pro and
con by the various papers of this
State. as to the appointment Of the
Judges who will constitute the judi
ciary of Delaware for the ensuing
twelve years from next month by
Governor Pennewill. While the
Democrats are volunteering advice
by the column, and the Republican
party papers are generally confning
themselves to a simple combination
of possibilities, yet there are Others
who are considering this important
matter, and Of which is the one
most directly responsible, His Ex-
Cellency, Governor Pennewill, who
hopes to frame a bench that will
equip the State with the best legal
minds, and at the same time COM
ply fully with the law. We feel
confident that Governor Pennewill
will do his full duty with Justice to
all, and as near satisfactory to the
people as it is possible for any man.
He has first to follow the law in
making the selections by giving to
the majority party three of the /
judges, and the minority two. To
do this from the materials from
which he must choose, it would APP /
pear to be wisdom for him to APP
point three resident judges for the
counties from the Republican party,
and to give to the Democratic party
the Chief Justice and the Judgeat
Large. Then to name for the
Chancellorship, the most important
position of all, Judge James Penne-
will This will meet the require
ments OF the law, and at the same
time give to the minority party two
Of the most responsible positions on
the bench, and insure the smooth
running Of the courts. 1t need not
be necessary for Governor Penne-
will to select lawyers of great prac
tice or experience, for there are
Others who are forging to the front
and will make the very best judi
cial material. This is no idle cast
ing of a horoscope, but it will stand
the analysis of close scrutiny. :
Judge Pennewill may not feel that {
he should accept the Chancellor
ship, but there are good reasons
why his appointment would be $
ideal, and the people would applaud {
the Governor for naming him to
6ll that important Office. This may
not be the result of the Governors s
but it surely would
be a satisfactory way to settle the {
question for the greate9 mass of the {
people. /
