and keep 1t thoroughly stirred until
ready to use the next day.
/ The following morning when ready to
begin spraying / I'LL 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 so 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 reachs 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 II
practice to spray three times each
season.
The first spraying is commenced Just
before the blossom buds open in the
spring 1t is at rhis time that. the
canker worm, bud moth, leaf crumpler,
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 I begin
| Just as soon as the petals Of the bios
SONS have dropped. and make the third
spraying ten days later.
1 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 cul-
ture I consider the codling moth the
most destructive. 1t lays its eggs ia
the calyx or blossom end OF the form
ing apple or pear, and in a 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
II the spraying is neglected until the
calyx closes and the fruit has turned
downward, most OF the insects win 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. II is es-
sential TO spray thoroughly from both
sides OF the trees and positively not
against the wind. even though the wind
may seem light
II Is evident that II part OF the fol-
iage Of the tree Is not sprayed. the I'M
sprayed parts are as open to the at
tacks Of -he fungous spores and tbs
stings Of the curculio as though there
had been no spray within a mile OF the
tree
In order that I may not make any
mistake and forget. keep q written
memorandum Of the date and ssde on
which q tree Is sprayed: for. with
changeahle wfnde and rain showers, Il
takes considerable thought at times b
get all trees sprayed on both sidess-

BASKET rs PUZZLE TO TRAFFIC
MEN.
So Large That a Car which Will
Hold 1t Has Not Yet Been Found.

Hold 1t Has Not Yet Been Found.
The traffic officials of the North
western Pacific are much perplexed
over basket they have been request
ed to receive for shipment from Utah
to Brooklyn, n. Y. 1t is said to be
the largest basket In the world. and
this must be true, for there is some
doubt whether 1t will pass through the
tunnels of the Slerras
The basket Is of Indian manufac-
ture and was designed as a storehouse
for grain. 1t Is shaped like the usual
bushel measure, is mounted on poles
to make 1t inaccessible 70 rodents and
has a huge basketwork cover 1t Is
wider than the door of an ordinary
box car, yet 1t could not be shipped
on a fat car. as 1t would be liable
TO destruction from the sparks OF a
locomotive.
The dontrivance was purchased from
the Indians by DR.. j. W. Hudson, Of
Ukiah, and by him sold to the Brook
Ign Institute of Arts and Sciences, to
be Installed in its museum. The doc
tor paid only $50 for the basket, but
1t is likely to be worth a fortune be-
fore 1t reaches the Atlantic coast.
Taking 1t for granted that the bas-
ket can be moved at all by rail, the
tariff officials are searching the clas-
sihcation sheets to determine under
what rate the shipment would move.
Some claim the basket Is merely a
basket, while others contend that 1t
would move under the classification
that includes parts Of grain eleva-
tors Traffic Manager Geary is of
the opinion that the thing is corn
crib and should be so billed. In any
event, 1t is too large to get in an
ordinary box car and must therefore.
take a minimum weight of 5000
pounds. although It weighs only 200
pounds. Under this Interpretation of
the tariff it could cost SITS to move
the granary to Brooklyn-San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

HOLDING COURT UNDER EDWARD

Function Far Less Ceremonial Than
In Queen yIetorIa's Time.
A word about the court, as there are
to be several during May and June. 1t
is In way far less ceremonial than In
the days of the late Queen Victoria,
and, being held at night, it assumes the
guise of a royal reception There Is
music, and after the presentation there
is overwhelmingly of the
buffet variety. Men now attend and
have a view of their women folk" as
we say In this country, making their
courtesies to royalty. After the pre-
sensations the men may join the women
and escort them around the ballroom
listen to the music and see that they
are served with refreshments, says
Vogue.
Women wear the same long trains
but they do not have to back out as
they used to. They advance sideways
to the throne, curtsey to the king ana
queen. retreat few steps sideways
from her majesty, catch their train
from the attendants and go out, frank
~ turning their backs on the throne I;
and another lady has absorbed the at
tention Of the king before the first
has really retired from the presence.
King Edward wants the ceremonial
through rapidly, and 1t is done in thor
ough twentieth century style. Men can
get several points OF vantage in the
side corridors. From there they can
see their ladies enter the presence. and
can meet them as they come out And

plies to Englishmen or subjects OH an

The reports which alarmed agricul-
tural authorities all over the world two
years ago-that the total known de
posits of nitrates in Chilli were but
1908, 100000 quintals Of 101.61 pounds,
scarcely enough to meet the demand of
forty-six years TO come-have been ex-
ploded BY the Gillian Official Board of
Engineers.
In it's annual report to the govern
ment, recently made, the board reports
that In the Tarapaca district there are
100000 coo and in Autofagasta 4.103,-
100000 quintals-a total Of 4.s43, 0O.-
600 quintals. The board. however.
makes no report on Taco, with its
acknowledged 225. 100000 auintals. nor
on the unworked official fields with
their estimated 500.oo0.OO0 quintals.
This would bring the total up to $685.

Reckoning the annual demand at

In spraying fruit trees there are
three essentials that must be borne in
mind ~ satisfactory results are to be
obtained. First, knowing what to
spray for; second. using the. proper So
luton, and. third. spraying at the
right time.
1t Is certain that spraying might as
well be given up entirely unless it Is
done thoroughly and regularly at the
proper time each season. While 1t is
by no means positive cure for all the
| ills of tree-fruit culture, still it Is a
powerful adjunct to successful orchard
mana cement.
One of the first requisites toward
success is good outfit complete At
ter having had considerable experience
with several different outfits the best
one l have yet found consists of a
150-gallon cask which rests on its side
| In rack to hold it in place
A strong force pump with an auto
matte stirrer. two sections Of half-inch
hose sixteen feet long, two ten-foot ex-
tension rods and two double vermorel
nozzles.
| With this outfit, three meu, team
and wagon we usually spray 800 10
year-old trees in one day The time
lost in having to repair, unclog nGzzles,
etc, is hardly worth considering, and
the spray produced is most satisfact-
DRY.
1t is of the utmost Importance that
the materials used be first-class and
carefully compounded. AS l have ex-
perimented with the different ingred-
tents recommended, l have found that
the most effective formula is three
fourths of a pound Of paris green,
twelve pounds of blue vitriol and twelve
pounds of fresh air-slaked lime to $50
| gallons Of water.
In preparing the mixture l put thir-
| ty-six pounds of blue vitriol in bur-
lap sack and suspend 1t In a barrel
containing thirty-six gallons Of water
the day before 1t is to be used, in or
der to give 1t ample time to thorough
ly dissolve.
Then Stake twelve pounds Of fresh
lime, and when ready to use 1t l strain
1t into another vessel and Stake twelve
pounds more to be ready when want
ed. Next put threefourths of a pound
Of paris green In one gallon Of water

said that the net earnings after payment

shares, one of which goes to the company
as surplus or dividends and the other
being set aside for the employees. Some
