SPRAYING MATERIALS
FOR TREES.

A fruit grower at Hanover, in York
county, who has been spraying the
trees In his young orchard with lime
sulphur, heard that oil sprays are
being used by the Division of Zoology
OF the Pennsylvania Department OF
Agriculture for demonstration pur-
poses, He wrote to Prof. Surface,
the head of the Division, for informa-
ton on the subject. and expressed
himself desirous of changing to an
oil spray from what he calls his
good, but troublesome, mixture of
lime and sulphur" State Zoologist
Surface replied as follows:
you do not state what kind of
trees there are in your young or
chard, but II they are peach or plum
you should not think of changing
to the use of oils. know where the

oil sprays have severely injured pear
and apple and have killed peach
trees, and ! cannot recommend them
with certainty that they will always
give good results. We are not using
any oils whatever in our demonstra-
tion work, excepting raw linseed oil
and white lead, which we use as a
paint eon the trunks of trees for the
borers. This is to prevent the borers
from laying their eggs there, rather
than to kill them after they enter.
II note from your letter that you
are having good results with lime
sulphur but you seem to regard IL as
troublesome. The difficulty is doubt
less with the straining. This can
easily be remedied by using a large
funnel, containing conical strainer
of brass wire-cloth, with the cone
pointed upright in the funnel, having
from twenty-eignt to thirty meshes TO
the inch. The material is strained
thus very rapidly, and after it is once
strained there will be no trouble as
to clogged nozzles or bursting hose.
"If you should not wish to make
your own home-boiled lime-sulphur
wash, you can buy the concentrated
boiled solution in the commercial
form. Several factories are now
making this and putting it on the
market.

A WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA
EDITORS TROUBLE.

Inc editor of newspaper in the
western part of Pennsylvania, who
mas been regularly publishing the
Timely Topics, sent out in the Press
Bulletin of the Division of Zoology
OF the Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture, wrote to Prof Surface
that he has troubles of his own" in
the case of one of the best bearing
peach trees in his fruit lot. The
young peaches are shaken from the
tree with each wind that blows. He
attributed the cause of the dropping
to condition which can be best de-
scribed as declining" Gum exudes
from the trees. Having been told to
dig for worms, or borers, he did so,
and located one or more each time.
State Zoologist Surface wrote, in
regard to the trouble, as follows:
The peach tree which you describe
appears to have been injured by bor-
ers The best thing to do for such
pests is to remove them whenever
they are present. Do this by means
of knife or wire. If there is gum
which has brown specks like sawdust
mixed in it, it is due to the effects of
the borer. IT, however, the gum
does not have such saw-dust-like ma
terial you may know that the borer
is not the cause of its production.
Gum may exude from a tree from one
of several causes.
An old tree that is injured needs
very much to be stimulated. You
can do this by cutting it back and
fertilizing and cultivating it. lou
should give it dressing of wood
ashes and ground bone or acid phos-
phate rock, with some barn-yard ma
nure added. You can buy com
plete fertilizer of any dealer in fer
tilizing materials, and thus give it
ration more nearly balanced. If pos
sible, loosen the soil around it early
in the spring, and, if the weather is
dry. water it occasionally. 1t may
possibly have San Jose Scale on its
branches, and this can be determined
only by examination with a micro
scope. If you wish to send specimens
TO me for examination, l shall be
glad to receive them and to reply
promptly"

to serve as object lessons in fruit
culture in the different counties of
the State.
with the exception of three coun-
ties tElk, Fayette and Fulton) there
are from two to five such orchards
IN every county, according to its
size as well as it's importance as a
fruit growing district, or a total of
over two hundred. In fact, York
county has six. While these or
chards will be used primarily for
demonstration and instruction pur-

SO as to obtain the best results.
Meetings will only be held in the
Public Meeting Demonstration Mod
el Orchards" 1t is proposed to hold
three such meetings during the year,
Tor the purpose of demonstrating
methods of fruit culture. viz: pr;;n-
ing. spraying of trees, cultivation
and fertilization. There will be lee
lures pertaining to horticulture at
each public meeting, and State Zoo
logist Surface will endeavor to at
tend at least one meeting in each
county. His places and dates will
be announced through the press.
The meetings of the first series.
now in progress, will be devoted
mainly to spraying for the control
of the San Jose Scale and similar
pernicious insects, but pruning and
other orchard methods will be
taught. Besides Professor Surface
being in attendance, or one of his as
slstants from the office of the State
Aoologist in Harrisburg, two of the
states orchard inspectors will be
present at each meeting, rain or
shine.
The dates of the meetings, and the
places where they will be neld, will
be announced through the newspa-
pers each week. Everybody interest
ed should attend the meeting easiest

formation, to be obtained by a per-
sonal observance of the improved
methods, that will be shown and ex-
plalned, OF dealing with insect pests
and tungous diseases, as well as of
managing an orchard.

About the fact that polyandry, or
the marriage OF one woman to sew
eral men, was once widely estab-
lished usage there is no room for
do2bt Cesar found it in Britain,
and Tacitus is authority for the
statement that it was practiced
among the Germans Of the early
tines. 1t is impossible to be exact
about the chronological order of .he
va ''ous forms Of marriage. In all
probability the primitive state of
man was one in which marriage did
not exist. except In its plural charac-
ter, when all the men and women in
the community we're regarded as
equally married to one another. Then
probably came polyandry, followed
by polygamy, which was finally re-
placed by the present form-a sys-

A red nose is by no means a sign
of drunkenness, and is as common
among teetotalers as tipplers. Indi-
gestion is responsible almost mere
than anything else for red noses,
while excessive tea drinking is apt
to play havoc with the complexion
In general and with the nose in par
tieular. Sometimes the congested
nose is sign of some serious disor-
der of the heart, or it may point to
a sluggish circulation. The habit Of
inhaling cigarette smoke and putting
1t through the nostrils may contrib
ute to the external wealth of color.
