The San Jose scale does great
harm to orchard trees which become
infested, unless they be thoroughly
and persistently treated. In order to
combat it to the best advantage some
knowledge of its life-history, habits,
means OF spread, ETC., is necessary.
Trees that are badly infested with
the San Jose scale appear as If they
had been busted over with ashes. II the
branches and twigs where the insects
are numerous be scraped with knife
it will be seen that this unnatural
covering is quite easily removed, COM
ing off in little fiaky patches. Each
of the little circular gray objects is a
separate scale, each coNring tiny
yellow insect underneath. On thickly
infested branches they often become
SO crowded that the scales are piled
over one another SO that the real bark
Of the tree is not visible at all.
Branches and twigs which are only
slightly or moderately infested will
not be thus completely covered over,
and the bark may be Of it's ordinary
color and appearance except here and
there along the branches where the
scattering scales are found. The larg-
est full-grown scales are about the
size Of an average pinhead. They can,
therefore, be detected by any person
who has in the beginning an intelli-
gent idea of the insect, has sharp eyes,
and who happens to look in the right
place.
Usually the farmer or fruit grow
er does not know that there is any
serious troublel until the trees begin

that his trouble is San Jose scale. he
Is apt to think that 1t is only on those
trees that present the unnatural ap-
pearance, when in reality it may al
ready be on every tree in the orchard
Such a mistake often costs the lives
of many trees, since the owner, IN
stead of examining closely and treat
ing every infested tree, as he should
do, simply takes out those which are
already in dying condition, and then,
because he sees no more of similar
appearance, he imagines he has exter-
minated it, when as a matter of fact
other trees moderately or slightly in
tested still stand in the orchard and
soon begin to die, having in the mean
time spread the insect into still other
trees, and so on. until the whole orch
ard may be ruined.

| living young, for this species does not
lay eggs as is the case with most in
sects. The males, on the other hand,
| finally develop into tiny two-winged
| fy-like insects, but in consequence of
| their sex they can not play much part
in spreading the insect, as young can
only be born where females are pres
ent, and these, as we have stated, re-
main attached to the twigs.
The insect was not discovered in
the eastern United States until
August, 1893. At that time it was
found in Charlottesville, Va. 1t was
soon found that the infested trees
were purchased from nurseries which
had been introducing stock from Cali
fornia. Then fruitgrowers and ento-
mologists began to inspect orchards
| especially for this pest, and in 1897,
five years after it's discovery in Vir-
ginia, 1t was known to exist in twenty
states east Of the Mississippi river.
One thorough spraying Cor washing)
each year with proper remedies, will
keep the San Jose scale in good con-
troll This is amply proven by the ex-
perience of hundreds of our fruitgrow-
ers and farmers every year.
It Is best to give the treatment in
late winter, before the buds have
! opened February or early march,,
but any time after the leaves are shed
| in fall and before the buds open in
spring will do Spraying with regu-
lar spray pump is by far the best
method For this treatment the great
majority of growers depend on lime
! sulphur wash (either commercial or
the home-made), or soluble oil (of
which there are several brands).
Although the weight of opinion is in
! favor Of late winter as the nnah hest
time to spray for scale. yet few peo-
pie prefer fall spraying, and some
even spray both in fall and late win
ter. though we do not think this is
necessary as regular practice. Fall
spraying is done after all fruit has
been gathered, when the leaves have
begun to drop, or soon after they have
dropped For fall spraying we believe
there are special advantages in using
the soluble oils, as they will penetrate
more OF the small crevices and reach
a larger percentage Of the small
young scales which pass the winter
On the other hand the limesulphur
solutions leave a coating on the
branches so that when they are ap-
piled in late winter this coating acts
as a considerable protection to the
trees during spring and early summer.
So, If one wants to come as near as
possible to discriminating the scale
we believe that the best plan would
be to use soluble oil in fall and lime
sulphur in late winter. But We want
to emphasize the fact that the insects
are so small that absolute extermina-
ton is impracticable (if not absolute
ly impossible), and even at the best
we must expect, and plan to treat in
tested trees once each year.

PREPARING FOR ACTUAL WAR
Large Sums Of Money Expended for

Lesson for Gunners.

Near Okehampton, England, the

distance away, the object of the Gu

course. to find out exactly what would
happen to a real village in similar
circumstances. says Parsons Weekly.
The idea, which is not exactly a
new one. was borrowed originally
from Germany, where some very elab-
have been conducted.
| One of these involved the construc-
ton OF an exact model to scale of the
great Fortress of spandau The mod
Ell was not toy, but a real fort in
miniature, covering over four acres of
ground and costing $675,000 to build
Walls, bastions, glacis, redoubts,

made. A powder magazine, in which
some scores of barrels of powder were
stored. was placed in exactly the same
position as the real powder magazine
occupied in the real fortress. Even
the money tower" wherein is kept
at Spandau, ever since 1874, the sum
of $6,000,000 in coin for the purpose
of immediate use in case of war, was
duplicated, and dummy treasure

placed inside it. When all was ready

Four hundred shots were fired, but
the magazine remained unexploded,
although every effort was made to de-
molish it. The money tower, how
ever, was wrecked and the treasure"
was scattered in all directions.
A far more elaborate experiment,
also conducted by Germany. was made
in 1869, when Bismarck and Moltke to-
