OF INTEREST TO THE
BIG ARMY OF CHANGERS
Forthcoming Convention of National
Grange Promises Much.


Grange Promises Much.
The forthcoming convention of the
National Grange, which is to meet
in Atlantic City, November 25, is of
the greatest possible importance ac-
cording to o. l.. Frisbee, Vice-Pres-
ident of the National Rivers and
Harbors Congress for New Hamp-
shire.
In urging upon the Patrons of
Husbandry, as the National Grange
was originally known, the necessity
of some affirmative action looking
to the Improvement of the water
ways, Mr.. Frisbee said:
This order has been very active
in the matter of securing parcels
post and lower express rate, now
why stop there? These will only
bring the seed and take away the
small truck of the farm cheaper
than before. They should take up
the policy of improving our water
ways, and thus secure cheap trans
portation for their products. A par
GELS post will make express rates
cheaper and water transportation
will make rail rates cheaper and
create industries, thereby giving a
market at home for the products of
the farm. Water rates are from one
sixth to one-tenth what rail rates
| are. transportation effects what
ever anybody buys, sells, eats, wears
or uses in any way, water, air and
sunshine excepted
The first question before the
world is how to feed the people, and
it is the business of the Grange to
feed the world and they should make
1t their business to secure the cheap
est transportation of their products
and as quickly as possible. For the
price of the products of a farm is
not determined on the farm, but at
the market. A bushel of wheat is
worth what it will bring in Liver
pool-less the freight, and if it
went all rail from the farm to that
grain market there would be nothing
left for the farmer. Strange as it
may seem water transportation is
quicker than rail. The average
speed of freight car is 23 miles for
day of "a hours, while one tug
takes down the Ohio River 10000
tons of coal 100 miles in "a hours.
1t would require a train of cars Is
miles long, with each car carrying
80 tons of coal to take the Ohio
IoW' " dIeT transportation WIN re-
frigerator barges will solve the food
problem of the world, and the
Grange at their national meeting at
Atlantic City on November 20, should
urge upon Congress the great neces-
sity of improving the waterways of
the country in order to give relief
for the high cost of living, by CIV
ing cheap transportation to the pro-
ducts of the country"
1t is expected that a large dele
cation will be appointed by the Ma
tional Grange to attend the seventh
convention of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress which will be
held in the city of Washington, De-
cember 7-9, and which gives promise
of exceeding in number any former
convention of this great waterway
organization.

London, Nov. 29.-Joseph Chamber
lain will be one of the first members
of the new parliament. He has been
again chosen by the Unionists, despite
his i'll health, to represent West Bir-
mingham, and he will not be opposed
Mr.. Chamberlain has represented this
constituency since 1876.
The Cnionists of Ulster are fiercely
agitated over the renewed prominence
of the home rule movement and are
breathing threats of fire and slaughter.
The Ulster Unionists council had Sc.
ries of meetings at Belfast, at one OF
which it was agreed to draw up dec
laration refusing to pay taxes or rates
Imposed by any Dublin parliament or
TO obey any decrees issued by such a
parliament. The meeting appointed a
committee to organize Ulster men into
regiments. Fifty thousand dollars was
subscribed to buy arms. The Orange
men are in deadly earnest. and if the
Liberals return to power to establish
home rule Ulster will become an armed
camp within few weeks.
The Marquis of Londonderry at a
meeting at Belfast declared that home
rule meant the placing of the Protes-
tant neck under the Roman Catholic
heel, and he predicted that Ulster would
never obey home rule parliament.

How to Detect the Presence of tn,
PeaCh-Tree ROrers

A Chester county correspondent
sent some specimens of peach leaves
to Professor H. A. Surface, state ZOO
logist, Harrisburg, Pa, and asked
for information concerning the pres
ence or absence of Peach-tree Bor-
ers. To this inquiry Professor Sur
face gave the following reply:
Leaves of trees will not give any
evidence as to whether borers are
present or not. You can tell this by
looking around the base of each
tree, and see if there is gum there
that contains fine particles or grains
like sawdust. If you find sawdust-
like material there present, the bor-
ers are there. The gum, either
clear or brown, may be present with
out borers. If the fine castings
mixed in the gum show the presence
of borers, you should go after them
at once with knife and wire, avoid
cutting across the trunks of the
trees any more than is absolutely
necessary, but cut up and down, or
lengthwise of the trunk and get the
pests out. Loosening the ground as
you have done would tend to permit
the borers to go deeper, but after
they are once under the bark they
will work down during warm and dry
weather and for wintering, and will
work upward when it is wet.
After you remove the borers from
your trees you can leave the roots
exposed in the fall or early spring
after the adults have quit laying
their eggs, and before they com
mence again in June. In two or
three weeks after the first process
of removal, go over the trees again
and remove any borers that were
left after the first operation. Then
mound the trees to a height of one
half foot each, and keep them
mounded.
you can prevent the adults from
laying their eggs by spraying the
base of the trunk with lime-sulphur
solution, either home-boiled or COM
mercial, made the same as you
would for San Jose scale. To be
effective the first coat should be ap-
piled about the middle of June, and
this should be repeated about the
first to the middle of August. II
this is done each year, you will have
very little loss from borers. Re-
member it is only preventive, and will
not destroy them after they enter
III should be ABOUT the same strength
as for San Jose scale when trees are
| dormant, although it is used when
they are in leaf, although not ap-
piled to the leaves. Some sediment
or some free powdered sulphur mixed
in the solution will be effective in
helping to prevent them from laying
their eggs.
THE sun will not injure the trees
by removal of earth for searching
/ for borers. If you examine the
/ trees for these pests again in the
| spring, 1t should be done as early
as possible, because the Peach-tret
borers remain dormant during the
winter, and commence to feed agaiI
| in the spring.

first instructor
Enabled by the comfortable circum-
stances of the family to consult his
own wishes at leisure in the choice of
a profession. La Fargo after a classical
and legal education in this country
went abroad to travel and to study
art chiefly as aU accomplishment.
After his return to America he en-
tered a lawyers office. Finally. how
ever. he gave himself up to art and
began to study the technique of paint
a studio in Newport, r. L. In 1850 he
married Margaret Perry and for the
next few years devoted himself with
great intensity of purpose to master
ing the science of his art, working
chiefly in landscape and producing
faithful and beautiful transcripts of
Newport scenes. The canvas called
Bishop Berkeley's Rock" which was
on exhibition in New York a few
years ago and which dates back to
1858. shows the dignity and distinction
not so much of his method as of his
vision.
Illness Brought Fortune.
1t was not until the early seventies
that La Fargo became interested In
the practical problems of glassmaking,
but from that time on his mind work
ed on the possibilities of that material
as medium of art. 1t has long been
known how he made his experiments

from serious illness he amused him

cent and transparent glass. then later
In his studio. with single workman
to aid him. until finally he was in full
possession Of his wonderful craft and
had introduced to the world the new
material known as american" glass.
Although in his later years he con
tinued to paint and quite recently did
a number of important mural deCora-
tiOns for public buildings in different
parts of the country his glass is the
most imposing monument to his fame.

Seventies.
John La Fargo, who died recently In
Providence tR. H. hospital In his
seventy-sixth year. had been working
for years upon the manuscript of a
book which was to tell the story of
his long career as an artist. 1t was

labors upon this volume
He did not set out in youth to be an
artist. but came to be recognized as
the head of his profession In Amer
lea He had many detractors. yet his
eminence was recognized even by
them. Some of his confreres pro.
nounced him after the death of Puvis
de Chavannes the greatest living mural
painter, and nobody thought of deny
ing him first place as worker In

he gave new life and a new excel
