Provide five 50-gallon barrels, two
galvanized ten-quart pals for mixing
and dipping. One hundred and fifty
pounds of blue vitriol, two hundred
pounds of fresh lime and five cents
worth of potassium ferro-cyanide cry

The two hundred pounds of fresh
lime will be sufficient for the season
and should be bought in small lots
at the time of spraying. The first ap-
plication will require forty pounds of
blue vitriol and fifty pounds Of fresh
lime.
Suspend the blue vitriol in one.half

the blue vitriol well up from the bot

will be eaten through by the free acid
in the blue vitriol solution. 1t is well
to rinse all metal vessels containing
blue vitriol solution with lime water
after using.
Slake fifty pounds OF fresh lime in
a barrel the evening before spraying.
Then in the morning the stock solu-
ton of both lime and vitriol will be
ready for mixing.
Place one-fifth of the blue vitriol

FACTS ABOUT
APPLE PESTS
Fungus Diseases Show In Summer
and Need Prompt Attention.

The apple scab. grape scab. and
other forms OF fungus disease show
themselves in midsummer and require
the most prompt and persistent work
with Bordeaux mixture. Meanwhile.
through all this hot weather we have
at work in our orchard a rather recent
pest. called the tripeta fly. This is the
worst enemy that the horticulturist
Just now has to deal with. says E. P.
Powell in Outing.
This fly works all summer. and II
stings right through the skin of an
apple. at any season of its growth. The
eggs produce the most Insignificant
worms in size. but they tunnel the
apple until the whole contents is a
blackening pulp. You will sometimes
know nothing at all of the mischief
going on until a customer charges you
with selling rotten apples. Some eggs
hatch in midsummer. as soon as laid.
but others lie dormant until winter.
when they will hatch out In your eel
lar. and go on with their ruinous work.
A practiced eye can generally tell
Of the presence of larvae by dark
lines on the skin Of the apple. The
only remedy is to keep all dropped ap-
pies picked up and destroyed. II pos
sible, make a sheep pasture OF your
orchard.
The fly likes shade. and for that
rssnon raspberry or currant bushes
uxdes your trees will encourage its
work. Spraying will do little or no
good, for We cannot reach the fly
at its work. nor the egg that is thrust
through the skin.

CANCER IS ON THE INCREASE.
Theory That Dreadful Disease May 30
Caused by Excessive Eating
Of Meat.

One Of the latest theories pro-
pounded in regard to the rapid and
most alarming increase In the deaths
from cancer is that 1t may be caused
by excessive meat eating and by eat,
ing bad meat.
Statistics show in the annual re.
port to the state health department
that the average death rate from can.
Ger has increased In the last l3 years
a little over IS per cent.
The Chicago board OF health some
time ago discovered that the percent.
age Of deaths among immigrants from
cancer was far In excess of the death
rate from the same disease in tho
countries they had left. The physician
who undertook to investigate and dis
cover the causes for this found tho
mortality records showed that deaths
from cancer among immigrants from
Oriental countries and native Ameri.
cans were much less in proportion to
numbers than among Germans and i'm.
migrants from Southeastern Europe.
On studying their diet he found the
Orientals did not eat meat and tho
Americans comparatively little. while
the people Of other nationalities ate
flesh in large quantities.
Another theory Is that cancer comes
largely from indigestion and conse-
quent poisoning OF the system through
lack OF proper masticntion OF ones
food. and also through overeating. SO
that where people eat largely OF meat
and are in the habit OF "boIting" their
food cancer is more than likely to In
crease.
To eat slowly does not necessarily
imply masticating properly. for ono
can dilly-dally and not chew. In any
event. the careful chewing of food is
absolutely --cessary to good health.
Slow chewing prevents over feeding
and the consequent choking up OF tho
system and results In a clearer brain
and a more active and beautiful body.
Every one knows that too much
fuel chokes an engine. and SO In like
fashion too much food chokes the
body.
At its best. cancer is a frightful dis
ease. painful and disgusting. and
every care should be taken by all to
avoid 1t. II prevention can do 1t.
every one should Join In the crusade
and by right diet and proper eating
ward OF one Of the greatest curses of
humanity.

at each round. Twenty acres should
be covered during n ten-hour day
when the provisions stated above are
observed.
An abundant water supply is very
desirable where large fields are to
be sprayed. Many growers err In not
providing sufficient barrels and pals
for mixing and preparing the stock
solutions. The concentrated lime and
blue vitrioI stock solutions must be
poured directly together. but diluted
as directed above. Hence the neces.
sity for providing the barrels to make
the mixture on a large scale.

Rotation crops.-Those Of us who
have good farms and want to keep
them that way must practice better
rotation OF crops with more intensive
cultivation. Rotating farm crops is
profitable in many ways. It destroys
innumerable injurioas insects and 1t
keeps the weeds in check; 1t gives
better crops and makes the land
richer in more than one way. Do not
plant spuds and beets all the time
