TALK ON SPRAYING.

The timely subject Of spraying was con-
sidered at the Grange last Saturday.
Mr.. Short, as leader, said he usually
sprayed in early spring with coppOras
sulphite for scab, fungus and disease Of
that kind, before the buds start and if
troubled very badly, again before the
buds open, using lime that time, making
Bordeaux. He sprays for scale a week or
ten days after using sulphur solution, and
after the blossoms appear, Bordeaux mix
ture is used. He gives fruit trees two
sprayings of arsenate Of lead, ten days
apart, and if they are affected with bitter
rot, sprays again in August, after the
fruit begins to color. Last spring he
used vacuum oil for scale and found it
gave good results, it Was used on peach,
apple and pear trees, and showed excel
lent results on the apple trees. He makes
his solutions as strong as the trees can
stand. He uses hand pump. The vacuum
oil has no free oil on top. Warm water
is generally used to mix the solutions.
He has been fairly successful in under
mining the codling moth by spraying
twice with srsenate of lead, plentifully !;
this will also help the bitter rot. The
first spraying is the most important.
Mr.. Rosa said that il was so much easier
to attend and take care Of the fruit trees
at the present time, with all of the pre-
pared spraying materials at hand, than
it had been in the past. He recommends
the to 10 solution Of lime and sulphur
for trees, as there is nothing about it that
can clog the machine. He would not
use Paris Green under any consideration
The way to take care of the white pota-
toes is to get at them early and give them
the poison, 80 lbs. OF arsenate Of lead, in
going over them once; it is cheaper than
losing a crop of potatoes. he said it
would pay anyone, with five to ten acres
Of trees to spray, to buy good machine
You could get one for about the price Of
a wagon. The best for an all around
farmer is a twO-hOrse machine, they will
haul 300 gallons of mixture, which is just
enough to last one bali day, and will
maintain a pressure from l5O to 225 lbs.
which beats hand power erEirely. The
secret Of success in spraying is to do il
and plentifully.
The subject for February 18th is Fer

The floor was covered with fine rugs and
there was lavish distribution Of palms
and potted plants, hidden among which
was the Bream Brothers Orchestra when
furnished the music for the occasion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Bunstein received the
/ congratulations Of about 400 adminng
friends, representing all the churches IN
the community. Congratuietory address
es were made by James B Gilchrist, Rev
W. H. Savage, Rev. Howard Townsend
Quigg and DR.. Geo. Marshall, to which
Mr.. Bunstein responded in his usual
happy rein. He said in part, that he
accepted their testimonial OF appreciation,
not as a personal tribute, but as showing
what they thought Of the work OF the
pastor, its value and importance. 1t is
often deprecated and it was encouraging
to find that so many esteemed it.
He spoke of his view Of the minister 9
personality and his relations to the com
munity. He was not differentiated from
other men by his office. He did not
claim the franchises Of priyiledged class
in imitation of the Master he had tried to
make his preaching cheering and COM
forting.
He attended to the many tokens OF con-
fdence and esteem that he had received,
not only from his congregation but from
the members Of other churches and from
the people generally of Milford and the
vicinity. These he valued greatly. he
acknowledged the support and encour-
agement that he had received from Mrs
Bunstein. He could not have done his
work without it, He also referred to the
young people and because OF their zeal
and activity predicted that the old church
would 90 on with increasing vigor and
power and usefulness.
After all his experiences he was ready
to say that the best jov and reward OF his
calling was the testimony he had received
of appreciation ofsympathy and aid given
to private individuals consoled, cheered
and pointed to Christ. In bis opinion
there was no honor comparable with such
work. To serve a congregation Of men,
women and children was to get such an
insight into their higher being, to gain
such sympathy with them and such a
property in them as makes the service a
never-failing delight. In a world where
here are 8 great many good and happy
things to do, God has given to the minis
er the best and happiest Of all. "

HAY AND TAFT.
(Spokesman-Review.)


Governor Hay has cut himself off
from President Taft.
The governor declares that II would
be as fit for Secretary Wilson to har-
vest the crops of this state as for
Forester Graves to conserve the re-
sources; that the state, IL unable to
control corporations, might as well
be territories; that Mr.. Taft expressed
his (Mr. Hay's) ideas; and that the
states whose resources have disap-
peared stand most strongly for ma
tional conservation Of otner states re-
sources.
The president stated that conser-
vation is a national affair; that the
states, If they would save the forests
must be up and doing; that the valid
ity of the following objection-viz.,
the federal government, has no power
as to the use of the power in a river
owned by a state-is unquestionable;
and that real conservation involves
preservation for succeeding genera
tions as we'll as wise use in the pres
ent generation.
every issue. He sees, for instance,
only that conservation is a local af-
fair of a state, but Mr. Taft perceives
that it also is the business of all the
people of the entire country. The
governor complains that comparative

PAPERS USEFUL.

Cleveland Leader: The Des Moines
experiment in municipal government
is said by competent observers to be
dependent upon the cooperation of the
newspapers for its success If that is
considered a defect it must be borne
in mind that the same thing is true
of every form of city government and
the government of every state, and of
the United States.
Newspapers. being made by men,
are fallible. A few of them are pub
lished for the purpose of attaining
unworthy ends. A small number are
maintained for the purpose of MAX
ing money by playing on the prejud-
ices and passions of the uniformed.
But the newspapers of the United
States as whole stand courageously
for what their editors believe to be
for the best interests of the people.
The fact that they do not agree is
one of the best safeguards of the ma
ton. for the public is enabled to see

The only way ia take a pledge is to
take it. Go before a notary public
and swear to a pledge that if elected
to the legislature you will always vote

pledge so that your prospective con-
stituents will know just where you
stand.

UNITE FOR JUDGE DIAfICK.

The forces back of the assembly
scheme are trying to win through a
divided opposition. They hope that
Bowerman will win the republican
nomination for governor through the
fact that he has three opponents.
Then he will have only a democrat to
beat and the assemblyites want that
democrat to be of as small calibre as
possible.
However, the direct primary men
can break up this scheme IL they will
but use common sense. The way to
victory for the direct primary sup
porters lies in uniting for Judge Grant
B. Dimick who is far and away the
strongest man now running against
Bowerman.
If you favor the direct primary law
and oppose the assembly scheme then
get ready to vote for Judge Dimick.
A vote for Hofer or for Abraham will
be vote thrown away.

FIRST DAILY NEWSPAPER.

A woman published the first daily
newspaper in the world. 1t was call
ed the Courant and made its first ap-
pearance in London. March IL, 1902.
Before that time the news had been
dispensed weekly. or in a few cases
OF very progressive editors semi
weekly.
1t is said that it was issued by sc.
Mallet, against the Ditch at Fleet
Bridge" Behind the non-committal
"E." was Elizabeth" 1t was the
Imagination of a woman that first
conceived the idea that man would
want to have the news every morning
with his breakfast; and with the
characteristic impulses of her sex she
put the idea into operation.
The Courant contained only two
columns, but they were devoted en-
tirely TO news. For centuries a single
copy of bulletin has been posted on
the walls of the royal palace in Chi
ma, says Advertising and Selling. but
and there was once a sort of daily
market report in Germany, but 1t
lasted only few days.
The Courant's two columns were
printed on only one side of the sheet
and contained such items as the fol-
| lowing:
"'Tis believed that the Earl OF
| Portland is by this time at Paris"
Here is talk as if 100000 pistols
were transmitted hither from France
for bribing some persons to favor
the designs of that crown"
There were no pictures nor adver-
tisements. The Courant lived sever
al years and since its appearance the
world has never been without a daily
newspaper. A copy. from the very
first issue in fact, is preserved in the
British Museum. Elizabeth Mallet had
style and a mind of her own, as is
APPARENT from the following para
graph from the first issue:
"The Courant (as the title shows)
will be published daily, being design
ed to give all the material news as
soon as every post arrives, and is con-
fined to half the compass to save the
public at least half the impertinences
of ordinary newspapers"
She also promises that the editor
will not take upon himself to give
any comments or conjectors Of his
own, but will relate only matter OF
facts, supposing the other people to
have sense enough to make reflec-
| tions for themselves"
