Shall the Wilson managers. then, de-
mand that Johnston must stop aside
from the chairmanship OF Agriculture
and that Simmons must not be head OF
Finance? That is rather harsh pro-
necessarily, say some progresslves. SO
they have formulated an alternative
program. which Is now under considera-
ton.
To Retain Chairmanship.
This is, to let the seniors retain the
chairmanships where they are mani
festly In line, but to pack the com
mittecs with sure majorities Of pro-
gressives OF fighting quality. who will
decline to be gagged. smothered or sup
pressed. For Instance, as to Finance. II
IL proposed to let Simmons be chairman,
but to put Gore, who Is quite some
scrappcr. on the committee to watch
Simmons and prod him when he needs
II: and to back Gore with a safe ma
jority u the sort of radicals who will
go along with him when he starts any
thing.
Whether this plan would be as ef
| fective as to insist on progressives fof
| the chairmanships Is doubted by some
| OF the Democratic radicals: but they
want to compromise and avoid an oper

Orchard Sprayinx Experiments.

The Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station has issued under the above title
Bulletin 1875, which is the second OF
series giving the results Of spraying with
fungicides and insecticides OF the apple.
The work of 1911 is preceded by con
densed account of similar experiments
of the season OF 1910. The 1911 expert
meuts are discussed under two heads;
Those carried on at Highmoor Farm
aud cooperative experiments In the
orchards OF three practical truit growers
IN the town of Greene. The results IN
both places were practically alike.
Itis shown that the season was very
unfayorable for the development OF ths
enemies OF the apple and that in the ao-
seuce OF pests the comparative results
regarding their control are not %

both insects and fungi were abundant

As Ben Davis has again been demon
strated In the past season when condr
lions were most favorable for using

injury occurred, whereas no spray injury
was done to leaves or fruit on the lime

Supburn or sunscald Of the fruit as
he result of the unusual beat wave OF
last July is shown To have been entirely
independent of spray injury and very
largely due to insufficient protection OF
fruit by the foliage. No injury to fruil
or foliage resulted from the use Of the
carbonic acid gas sprayer in making the
applications. The results did not indi-
cate any definite relation of fruit russell
ing to the strength of the lime-sulphuI
used. Nothing appeared in the expert
mept which pointed to the chemica
com position of the lime-sulphur-lead ar
senate combination as factor related to
russeting Of fruit.

for making the stock lime-sulphur con
centrate, with the dilution table and di
rections for using the latter.

The Use Of Paint on the Farm.

There 10 probably no one point more
neglected by the average farmer than the
judicious use Of paint, not only on bis
house and outbuildings, but also on
machinery and various agricultural i'm
plements. IL is perhaps the rule rather
than the exception in some sections to
see houses and agricultural implements
on the farm sadly in need Of paint. The
idea seems TO be prevalent that paint 10
used solely for ornamental purposes, and
its use is regarded as . luxury rather
than . necessity. While paint does, OF
course, serve the purpose Of improving
the appearance Of property, 1t Is far more
useful for protection than for ornament.
A small amount of money and work ex-
pended in keeping q valuable piece OF
machinery properly painted will add
greatly to the length of its life.. The
same may be said OF buildings. Another
useful object which Is accomplished by
painting Is the improved sanitary con-
ditions of buildings and outhouses. Any
man can do an average job OF painting,
and can thereby not only improve the
appearance Of his place, but can add
greatly to the durability Of all articles
painted. The cost of such work is
small, the necessary equipment is not
ex xpsnsive, and with proper care will
last long time.
Do not use any paints containing COM
pounds of lead about stables or out
buildings where the fumes from decay
ing organic matter occur, since these
gases are likely to darken the lead paints.
Do not use with lead compounds any
pigments which may liberate compounds
of sulphur. For example, ultramarine
blue, which contains sulphur In form
in which 1t may be set free, is beauti-
full and very permanent blue and may be
used with zinc white, but should not be
used with white lead or any other lead
pigments. Prussisn blue, on the con-
trary, does not contain sulphur and may
be used with lead pigments.
Remember that turpentine and bepzine
are very inflsmmable, and opecial pre-
cautions should be taken not to bring
paint containing these substances near
any light or open fire.
Many pigments are poisonous, and
the workman should be particularly care
| full TO remove all paint stains from the
skin, and not under any circumstances
allow any Of 1t to get into his mouth. A
man should not eat in the same clothes
in which he has been painting, and before
eating should not only change his clothes
but wash all paint stains from his skin.
II is not advisable to use turpentine OF
benzine In removing paint stains from
the hands, but by oiling thoroughly with
liussed oil, or, In fact, with any fatty oil,
and then thoroughly washing with soap,
the paint may be removed, provided II
has not been allowed to dry too
thoroughly on the hands.-Percy a,
Walker, in U. s. Farmers Bulletin.
