conspicuous red spots. It's dangerous
nature is known to every orchardist
who has it to contend with. 1t has
killed thousands of trees, especially
peach, and is now sapping the vitality
of many thousands more.
Scale insects are subject to attacks
of a number Of natural enemies, in
cluded under parasitic and predaceous
insects, fungous diseases and birds.
These natural enemies are usually
sufficient to hold the species somewhat
in check, with the exception of the
San Jose scale, which has become a
most important pest.
Many artificial remedies have been
tried for DISCRIMINATING scale insects,
the most successful being sprays of
crude petroleum or kerosene, either
undiluted or mixed with water, vari-
GUS soap sprays and lime salt and
sulphur wash. All scale insects may
be treated by the same method after
it has been determined by experience
which process is most effective In any
particular locality.
In the eastern states excellent sue
cess has attended the use Of lime, salt
and sulphur wash, which has also been
very eff tive on the western coast.
Different results have been obtained
by different experimenters, but ex-
tensive experiments indicate that kero-
sene and crude petroleum are very re-
liable and exceedingly effective insecti-
cides against all scale insects.
It is generally recommended that
trees should be sprayed in winter or
during a dormant period with these
substances in undiluted condition or
mixed with water. In some localities
trees have been injured by using the
spray in undiluted form even in win
ter. On the other hand many expert
ments have been made which show
that these substances in solutions of
strengths varying from Is to 20 per
cent. may be safely used upon the
trees in full foliage. Conservative au-
thorities on the subject of the value Of
kerosene and petroleum recommend
that these substances be used only in
mechanical mixture of water of diff
ferent strengths up to about Is per
cent.
In general it is recommended that
spraying with kerosene should be done
only on bright sunshiny days. when
evaporation is comparatively rapid.
Whale oil soap in the proportion Of
two or two and one-half pounds to tho
gallon OF water is also very effective
remedy for scale insects.

SOFT, WHITE HANDS
May Be Obtained in One Night.

For preserving the hands as well
as for preventing redness, roughness,
and chapping, and imparting that vel
vety softness and whiteness much de-
sired by women Cuticura Soap, assist
ed by Cuticura Ointment, is believed
to be superior to all other skin soaps.
For those who work in corrosive
liquids, or at occupations which tend
to injure the hands, it is invaluable.
Treatment-Bathe and soak the
hands on retiring in a strong, hot,
creamy lather of Cuticura Soap. Dry
and anoint freely with Cuticura Oint-
ment, and in severe cases spread the
Cuticura Ointment on thin pieces of
old linen or cotton. Wear during the
night old, loose gloves, or light ban
dage of old cotton or linen to protect
the clothing from stain. For red,
rough, and chapped hands, dry, f1s-
sured, itching, feverish palms, and
shapeless nails with painful finger
ends, this treatment is most effective.
Cuticura Remedies are sold through
out the world. Potter Drug & Chem.

When Bavaria was visited by pesti-
lence peasants in the mountain village
registered a VOW that if they were
spared they would perform a religious
play every ten years.
It was nearly one hundred years
later that parts of Austria suffered
from a plague. When it subsidized the
Vienese resolved on the construction
of a great temple. Work on the Karls-
kirche began in 1716 and was COM
pleted 20 years later. The celebration
now being planned will be held in
1916. 1t will be in the nature of a
thanksgiving service, commemorative
the completion of two centuries in the
life Of the parish.
The church is a lofty building, sur
mounted by huge dome. Two bel
fries, each resembling Trajan's col
umn, and each 108 feet high and Is
feet in diameter, flank the portico. Eff
fects of the plague are represented in
relief in tn tympanum.
The building occupies command
ing position on an elevation in the
southcentral part Of the city. The
dome is now encircled by scaffolding
while the decorative material Of the
exterior is being replenished.

that the two poles were once on the
equator, and the equator once ran
through the two poles.
The fact that the earth's axis is con-
stantly shifting means that neither of
the poles remains always in the same
place. Thus there is a possibility that
one expedition will find the pole at one
place in one year, and another will find
it in another place the next year. a..

The Oregon experiment station has
decided that the scab in the prunes
which is more or less troublesome to
them is caused by the weather and not
by fungus growth.
In very dry weather fruit-buds are
formed quite early, and in case of a
wet fall, immature fruit-buds some
times change into leaf-buds. Most
small fruits form their fruit-buds in
the spring.
1t is practicable to grow strawber-
ries in the center of the space between

vided the orchard is not shaded. 1t

EUROPEAN CANKER ON APPLE
Disease Reported as Serious In Old
Country and Becoming Widely
Distributed in America.

This disease is reported as serious
in the orchards of Europe, and is be-
coming widely distributed in America.
The fungus seems to be dependent
upon wounds for entrance to the host
tissue. 1t attacks the inner bark and
the rich sap, and to some extent the
young wood. The fungus Is peren-
NAL in the host. AS the new growth
develops around the wound 1t is at
tackled and killed by the fungus; thus
a series of ridges may be developed.
Two kinds of summer spores are
produced, the first small and unicel-
lular, the second sickle-shaped and
having three or more cells. The lat
ter are probably largely responsible
for the spread Of the disease during
the summer. In the spring compact
