Real Greatness

A great man is always willing to be
little. While he sits on the cushion
OF advantage he goes to sleep. When
he Is pushed, tormented, defeated, he
has chance to learn something. He
has been put on his wits, on his man
hood. He has gained facts. He learns
his Ignorance; is cured of the insanity
OF conceit; has got moderation and
real skill. The wise man always
throws himself on the side of his as
sailants. 1t is more to his interests
than 1t Is to theirs to find his weak
point. The wound cicatrizes and falls
off from him like a dead skin. and
when they who would triumph, 10, he
has passed on invulnerable. AS long
as all that is said against me, feel a
certain assurance of success: but as
soon as honeyed words OF praise are
spoken for me, / feel as one that lies
unprotected before his enemies.-

THE method Of application Of
orchard sprays should be made
to vary with the object to be
gained. All sprays except the one
given at the dropping Of the petals,
are intended to coat as completely as
possible both foliage and fruit with
the mixtures. They are therefore de-
livered as q fine mist from both
ground and tower. in such q manner
as best to effect this object. The
spray at the dropping Of the petals
is intended to ill the open calyx end
Of the apple with poison. because
about eighty per cent OF the first brood
and large percentage OF the second
brood of apple worms enter the fruit
through this door. and because soon
the calyx lobes will roll together, en-.
closing the poison and holding 1t there
for all corners. When this spray In
delivered the young apple stands with
the calyx opening upward and the
filling can best be accomplished by
shooting the spray into 1t from above
downward under great pressure. This
may also be delivered as a mist.
Schedule of Application.

and the opening OF the blossoms,

see that all parts Of the unfolding
foliage are given a complete and even
coat OF the mixture.
