Is there anything more beautl-
fut in all the world than fine
friendship! 1 think not. In the
Old Testament you will find,
Forsake not an old friend. for the new Il
not comparable unto him. A new friend Is
as new vine when it is old thou shall
drink ii with pleasure
The chief value Of this adviee
lies in the first part Of fl, 10 my
minds "FOrsake not an old
friend" No friends should be
lightly fOrsaken, for there are
few of US I'm the world, even the
most fortunate, who are blessed
with friends enough. do not
mean mere acquaintances, for
most of us have too many of
these-peOpIe that do not really
mean anything to us, that occupy
our time, and help us waste the
valued hours In mere emptiness
and giving US no return, so that
one feels like the lover In ..AIaud;p
loathe the squares and streets
And the faces that one meets.
Hearts with no love for me.
There Is something in the very
quality of friendship that will
not admit of its being sOyVn
broadcast. IL needs cOncentra-
tiOn for Its life; TO try 10 scatter
IT is 90 XIII it. As Gay In his
gables" says;
Friendship. like love, is but name,
Unless to one YOU stint the fame,
The child whom many fathers share
Hath seldom known fathers care.
It's thus in friendship; who depend
On many rarely find friend.
Old friends, like old books, are
best, and that friendship which
begins in early youth usually
lasts the longest and r. the more
sincere. IL is, perhaps. only ia
youth that one can give Out of
himself, In utter confidence, the
dramatically unselfsh loyalty
that true friendship demands.
Later in life, after there have
been disappointment and bitter
ness IL becomes harder for the
right spirit TO go out of a man,
and In perfect friendship that
which ye give that also shall We
receive. Happy the man who can
says
count myself in nothing else 50 happy
Az IN a soul remembering my good friends.
For IL implies qualities within
himself that signify he has been
blessed of God. TO get friend
ship one must be of a quality TO
give Ii, and the man of middle
age, looking over the list of
those whom he may call hts
friends may see, IL he will, in

IL Is along the line OF this

THE VALUE OF FRIENDSHIP

Is there anything more beautI-
fut in all the world than fine
friendship. think not. In the
Old Testament you will find,
The Florida agriculturist., 1910-04-01

system Of fumigating by the use of
cloth-covered frames. The following
description of a fumigating outfit is
based on his work:
For fumigating vines from two to
four feet long, construct little wooden
frame, square or rectangular, of the
desired dimensions, and nail an eight
inch leg to each corner. This may be
covered with heavy muslin saturated
with linseed oil to render it tight
Cut the muslin in pieces large enough
to cover the frame and extend one foot
over each side, and tack to the top, but
not to the legs of the wooden frame.
The loose edges of the muslin may be
covered with earth to prevent any es-
cape Of gas. A frame Of this con-
struction makes perfect fumigating ar
rangement, as it can be placed over any
portion of long vine if desired with
out damage and without disturbing the
vine.
The tobacco fumlgating papers are so
prepared as to burn rapidly, producing
a dense smoke, and are used by light
ing the desired amount in a tin under
one corner of the frame Old tin cans
with perforations near the bottom edge
answered the purpose very we'll. By
this method all the lice are killed in
from twenty to thirty minutes, without
injuring the plants The treatment is
comparatively cheap and effective
much more so, in fact than the best
spraying that could be DONE By having
several frames in operation, two men
may fumigate large areas in day

IN SUMMER.

The first summer after the young tree
has been transplanted from the nursery
to it's permanent place in the orchard
is a critical period in its existence, and
it is hardly too much to say that on
it's growing during this period depends
in a great measure the future value of
this time, its full development will prob
ably never be realized. Much of the
first seasons success or failure will, of
course, depend upon the care with which
the transplanting was done in the spring,
and yet attention in the summer is
necessary to bring the tree through in
the best condition. -
The great danger the tree will en-
counter is the scalding effect of the
midsummer sun and weakening of it's
vitality by the drying of the earth
about its roots The injury thus oc-
casioned may be very much lessened by
keeping the soil about the roots fine
and covered with a good thick mulch.
The mulching should extend as
far from the trunk as the roots
run, and will be all the more
beneficial if it extends beyond the ends
OF the roots, as greater amount of
the soil will be kept moist.
The young tree also needs to be kept
free from insects, as these pests are
more capable of injuring the tender trees
and the latter are less able to with
stand their attacks. Newly set trees as
we'll as those of medium size frequently
require light pruning during the sum-
mer season to give them the proper

the leaves and vines. Spray mixtures
must be applied with a pump capable
of furnishing strong pressure, so that
the liquid may be forced into the colo
nies to touch each individual. Sim
ply sprinkling the tops of infested plants
is worse that a waste of time
Kerosene emulsion at a strength OF
10 per cent is the most effective spray
in most cases. 1t is prepared by dissolv-
ing one-half pound of potash soap in
one gallon of boiling hot water, then ad-
ding two gallons of kerosene and churn-
ing this mixture violently for ten to
fifteen minutes, or until perfectly
smooth, creamy mass, without any free
oil on top, is obtained. Three gallons of
concentrated mixture thus prepared, di-
luted with seventeen gallons Of water
make twenty gallons of 10 per cent
kerosene emulsion. If used at greater
concentration, or, if the emulsion is not
properly prepared, some injury to plants
may result Anyone making kerosene
emulsion should realize that the mixture
of oil, soap and water must be chur1ed
until the drops of oil become so coin
pletely broken up and combined with the
soap that none will rise to the top
1t is often recommended to make anu
keep the concentrated mixture on hand,
to be diluted when used, but this prac-
tlce frequently results in the use of an
imperfect emulsion, which Injuries the
plants. When freshly prepared it sell
dom causes injury at the strength re-
commended above.
Tobacco decoctions are nearly as et-
fective as kerosene emulsion, particular
! ly if made from fresh, strong tobacco
leaves or stems
Tobacco leaves or stems, 2 pounds;
water, 4 gallons; boil for about two
hours.
Decoction made by the above for
mula should be used without di1u-
ton. By using tobacco of full strength
the docoction obtained will kill prac-
t1cally every louise it touches, but failures
often result from using too weak. so1u-
tions.
Extracts of tobacco sold under vari-
Gus trade names are on the market
and are widely advertised. The major
1ty of them are valuable, and, as the
manufacturers claim, have the advantage
Of being quickly prepared for use by
simply d1lut1ng with cold water, and
anyone can soon determine the strength
necessary to kill melon lice
Soap solution consisting of one pound
OF any strong potash washing soap in
four or five gallons of water, applied
slightly warm is quite effective Pot
ash whale-oil soap is superior to COM
mon soap, and will admit of greater di-
luton and still be effective. A COM
b1ned tobacco and whale-oil soap is pre-
pared by some manufacturers.
Within recent years a method of
fumigating canta1oupe plants has been
quite well perfected. Sanborn made
valuable experiments with specially pre-
pared tobacco. or nicotine fumigating
papers, manufactured and sold under the
names nicofume tobacco paper, aphis
punk and to-bac-ine, and perfected a
