Golfers thinks It has discovered
the secret of the Increased cost Of
living" in this country. "In 1899," It
says, "the number of riders on Pull
man cars in this country was 6,000s-
600: and they paid 100000 as the
price. In 1908, a year of hard times,
there we're 100000 riders, at a cost
of $30,000O00. A good deal of what
ia called increased cost of living IN
this country is really increased de-
mand for luxuries." Somewhat; but
there are few other things In the
country besides palace sleeping-cars.
Tie whole energy Of the party Of Mr..
Taft is devoted to the genial task of
increasing the cost of living. Those
who wish to ride in palace cars may
take their chances. but the ultimate
consumer" the man or woman that
pays all the taxes levied by the gov
ernment or exacted by faction, set
ties all bills. The sooner we realize
this very elemental fact, the sooner
the country will get upon a basis of
common sense and reasonable econo-
my and thrift.

Making the Idme-sulfur Wash.

Making the Lime-Su1fur Wash.
At this time of the year owners of
fruit trees are preparing to spray
their trees before the setting in of
freezing weather. 1t consequently
happens thae many of the letters re-
ceived at the Division of Zoology of
the Pennsylvania Department of Ag-
riculture contain queries in regard
to spraying. No matter how often
published, information is still re-
quested as the making of the lime
sulfur solution, the quality of lime to
use, whether iron kettles in (which
the solution Is boiled will be dam
aged, etc. The following replies to
the questions contained in a letter
recently received by State Zoologtst
Surface, of Harrisburg, will, there
fore, be read with interest:
Replying to your recent letter

better than the boiled lime-silfur

winter, at any time after the leaves
fall, and again in the spring when the
buds are swelling. If they are not
badly infested the spring spraying
should be sufficient. Thoroughness
is essential. To make this mixture,
fresh lime or quick lime is needed.
Air-slaked lime will not do for the
reason that the air-slaked lime has
undergone a chemical change, and is
not the same substance, chemically,
as the quick lime and does not make
the same chemical union. 1t Is more
inert or inactive.
1t is possible to keep lime in the
same chemical form as the quick lime
or fresh lime if you will slake it in
water at once and keep it beneath
water, or, in other words, keep
enough water over it to keep 1t in
the form of a paste or putty. When
you want to use it, take three times
as much of the lime paste as you
would of the dry material.
1t is impossible to spray too Of
ten with the lime-sulfur wash. If
you use other materials, especially
oils, it is possible to do SO; and, in
fact, the oftener you spray with
them the greater will be the danger
to the trees.
"The boiled lime-sulfur wash is
made by boiling seventeen pounds of
sulfur and twenty-five of lime with
enough water to boil, and then add
