Some one has figured out that on the
basis Of an average annual rainfall Of
thirty inches a year the total amount
OF fresh water OF the country is 215,-
100000 cubic feet. OF this
enormous volume It is estimated that
one-half is evaporated. a third flows
into the sea through streams large and
small, while the remaining sixth is
consumed by living beings or absorbed
Into the earth. OF the volume Of wa
ter in flowing streams only 8 per cent
is utilized for power. The remaining
100000 horsepower, II utilized,
would be sufficient to furnish all the
power needed for every purpose what
soever in every town and city in the
country. This IS one OF the great nat.
urol resources which are very little
used and where used are too often
monopollzed for the benefit Of the
few.

THE ORCHARD SCREAMING.

There Is no single feature connected
with the care OF the orchard on which
more depends In the production of the
maximum amount and the best quality
or fruit than that OF the sprayings
which are given at intervals through
tho. spring and early summer season.
The first treatment, which should be
given just before the blossom buds
open, is for keeping In check the scab
fungus. and for this the bordeaux
mixture only is needed. The second
treatment should be given just as the
petals are falling, andit is this treat
ment which is especially effective or
should be In killing the little worms of
the cooling moth, so per cent OF whose
eggs are laid In the calyx cup at the
blossom end Of the apple. This cup
closes In about ten days, which makes
1t imperative that a very thorough
treatment should be given within this
limit, so that q small amount Of the
poison may be deposited in the cup OF
each apple. The bordeaux mixture
the lime copper sulphate mixture
may be used for this spraying IL de-.
sired. but the essential feature is the
poison. which should be added In the
shape Of paris green, arsenite OF soda
or arsenate of lead. The paris green is
ready for use by simply mixing thor
oughly with water so as to make sure
that no Jumps Of dry powder go into
the tank. The arsenite OF soda Is made
by mixing white arsenic with sal soda
at the rate Of one pound of the former
to four Of the latter and boiling fifteen
minutes In n gallon OF water, keeping
the water up to this amount.
Two quarts OF this solution may be
used as substitute for pound OF
paris green by adding four pounds of
fresh Stacked lime or by putting 1t In
the bordeaux mixture In which there
ts an excess OF lime. The arsenate of
lead Is made by mixing lead acetate
with sodium arsenate at the rate OF
twenty-five ounces Of the former to
eight ounces OF the latter, each being
dissolved separately, and then diluting
In 100 gallons Of water. If used with
the bordeaux 1t should be poured into
the lime wash before this is mixed
with the copper sulphate. The Dor
deaux mixture referred TO is made by
eiSSoi'mB ANS pounuS Oh copper sui
phate in twenty-five gallons of water
and then mixing this with twenty-five
gallons OF water in which five pounds
or freshly slaked lime have been dis
solved or stirred. For n 200 gallon
tank this recipe would have to be
quadrupled. But the proportion of
ingredients is the main thing, what
ever the quantity. The spraying solu-
ton should be strained as it is poured
Into the tank, thus preventing a clog
ging or the spraying nozzle. The spray
should be applied to the trees under
the heaviest pressure possible, so that
II viii be broken into very fine parti-
cles and driven into the calyx cup OF
the apple. The contents of the tank
should be kept stirred, so that the
poison VIII be kept thoroughly mixed.
A solution of bordeaux mixture of the
strength described is suitable for all
fruits except peaches and japanese
plums. in which case It should be used
not more than half strength For po-
tatoes 1T may be even stronger than
$3.50 proportion.

A TURERcuLIN DEMONSTRATION.

With view to posting the dairy
men OF his state on a very important
subject, the state veterinarian OF the
Maryland Agricultural college lately
gave a public demonstration for the
detection OF tuberculosis as applied to
cattle. The demonstration was given
thorough advertising, so that those
who wished 10 attend could make
plans to do so. The temperature Of
the cows was taken at a. m, and ut
p. IA. the injection Of tuberculin
was made, the temperature being tax
en- at intervals thereafter for the next
twenty-four hours. The demonstra-
ton was given for the purpose OF ac-
quainting the dairymen OF the state
with the methods of the test, against
which 80 strong a prejudice exists,
and the eyes OF many who attended
were opened as a result In larger
states the same type Of demonstration
might with profit be given at several
conveniently located points over the
state. This anti-tuberculosis doctrine
needs preaching extensively in every
section where dairying is carried on.

In the spraying Of potatoes the Dor
deaux mixture should be made up,
according to the lilo recipe, OF cop
per sulphate, lime and water or
even stronger. This should be applied
with paris green added II the bugs
have appeared when the vines are
about six or eight inches high and
should be repeated at intervals of ten
or fifteen days until growth OF vines
stops. For large fields 1t VIII be found
both economical and advantageous IN
the spraying work to use n special po-
tato sprayer which is so arranged that
from four TO six rows may be sprayed
at once and n large area covered in a
short time.

GOMPERS TAKES FALL
OUT OF THE LAWYERS
Country VIII Be Prevented From
Getting the Best and Wisest
Laws.

New York, Nov. 22.-SanueI Com
pers, president Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor, paid his respects to the
legal profession today at the opening
session Of the National Civic Fedora
tons annual meeting. He vas discuss
ing the need in this country of new
laws to cover the subject Of employers
liability and to provide adequate COM
pensatiOn to wage earners injured by
accidents.
Lawyers will prevent our getting the
best and the wisest laws in the mat
ter" he said. ''They will have little diff
ficulty in finding almost iTisurmOunta-
bic constitutional objection, for the re-
sources Of our constitutional lawyers for
Interpretation are limitless, particularly
when they are supeTindUced: by the Op-
pOrtunity for well-earned fees.
"AlI we can hope for is a little prog
ress. We must go on with our work OF
spreading the light. For the present,
let US be satisfied with establishing
some sembIance of the justice which is
demanded by such disasters as this most
recent one at Cherry, III"
John Mitchell also spoke, saying nat
ural conditions Of mining In this coun-
try are more safe than IN Europe, but
that nearly five men out of every thou
sand employees are killed annually,
whereas in Belgium, England and Ger
many the average is one to q thousand.
He said the laws should protect work.
ers more adequately.
