HABITS OF ORCHARD PESTS
Time Insects Deposit Their Eggs
or Work Damage.

There Is no definite rule that can be
laid down with reference to the time
at which winged insect pests Of the
orchard deposit their eggs. Some are
night flying insects and deposit their
eggs at night; others are active only
during the day, and deposit their eggs
during that time. The codling moth
Is one Of the night flying insects and
begin to deposit eggs late in the
evening, just about dusk. and c~ontinu-
e most active throughout the early
part OF the night. The curculio on
the other hand. 10 most active during
the day. remaining inactive at night.
The same holds true with reference to
the general activity Of insects. AS a
rule the moths fly only at night. while
some Of the beetles are most active at
night and others during the day.

CANADA'S PROSPERITY.

The New York Times of March %,
1912, in an article dealing with Cana
da's progress, says:
AT the present moment eight ship
loads Of European immigrants are
afloat for Canada, while there are
signs that the outward movement
which is customary with US during
labor troubles will be marked this
year. There Is no such startling rec
ord Of our loss to Canada. Our citi-
zens quietly slip over the border in
groups or trainloads, but their going
Is not advertised.
There is no mystery why Canada
Is the good thing the United States
used to be. 1t Is because Canada Is
following in its neighbours footsteps
that it is repeating the fortunate ex-
p~erience which it's neighbor Is envy
ing, even while deliberately turning
It's back on the teachings Of the past.
A fortnight ago the Dominion budget
speech reported the unprecedented
surplus Of $4,000, 900, and On Thurs.
day the Government passed through
the Committee on Supply credits of
$3S, 100000 for railways and canals.
With this assistance the railways
themselves are both enabled and COM
PEELED to increase their facilities. Ac-
cordingly we find a single road allot-
ting ten millions for work Of Its own.
Naturally the Canadian newspapers
contain announcements calling for
fifty thousand men for construction
work. This influx is apart from those
Americans who go with money in their
pockets obtained by cashing In their
high-priced American lands.
"A st. Paul dispatch says that with
In q fortnight two thousand carloads
Of farm animals and machinery have
passed toward Canada, the property
Of men who expect to pay for their
farms with the first CROP"

DAY FOR KISSING
Ancient Custom Is Still Observed
in English Town.
Village Of Hungerford Has Two Off
cial "OscuIators," Who Mako
Their Rounds Every Hook
ney Tuesday.

London.-How would you like to be
official kisser for the village of Hun
gerford? The town has two OF them,
and they work hard and enjoy their
labor. Hungerford is on the borders
Of Berkshire and Wiltshire.
The custom Of official kissing there
Is centuries old. 1t happens on Hook
ney Tuesday.
Unless you have lived through Hook
ney Tuesday you can have nc concep-
ton Of what 1t means At eight o'clock
the town crier OF Hungerford, in gray
and scarlet, with brass buttons, comes
out Of the town hall and blows three
notes on the ancient horn given by
John O. Gaunt, and that is the signal
for two tutti-men to emerge from the
constable's house with slaves tipped
with fowers-daffodils, primroses and
tulips, surmounted by an orange.
it is their business to go forth and
kiss the damsels of the town, irrespec-
tive Of age or beauty, according to
custom.
James Blake and Anthony Bowsher
were the tuttl-men this HOckney Tues
day. Mr.. Blake is sixty years old;
Mr.. Bowsher is younger, but both OF
them kissed vigorously from eight
O'Clock until sever o'clock in the eve
ming, with a break for dinner.
Tradition DEGREES that they shall be
liberal with oranges and pennies.
Therefore, having kissed a maid. they
gave her an orange as a solace, and
they hurled oranges among the crowd
of urchins who followed them about
all day.
1t was a perfect orgy Of kissing
They knocked at doors, and little
high-pitched shrieks fioated out into
the street, showing how nobly the
tutti-men were doing their duty.

Annual Rings.

oak and other woods. They exist In
all kinds of trees, but in many, as, for
example, the chestnut, they are so fine
as hardly to be seen with the naked
eye.
1t is correct to speak Of the rings Of
growth as annual rings" for as long
as the tree is growing healthily a ring
ia formed each year. 1t is true that
two false rings may appear in one
year, but they are caused whenever
the growth of the tree is interrupted.
This happens when the foliage is de-
stroyed by caterpillars and grows
again in the same season, OF when a
severe drought in early summer stops
growth for a time, after late frosts,
and In similar cases.
An annual ring once formed does
not change in size or place during the
healthy life of the tree, except that 1t
IS covered in time by other younger
layers.

FLOWERS OF ANCIENT EGYPT
Cairo Shows Every Plant Is
Still Growing.

Cairo, Egypt.-In a suburb Of Cairo
stands the national museum OF Egyp-
tian antiquities founded fifty years
ago by a Frenchman known as Mar
iette Bey. One department Is devoted
to an interesting collection OF speci-
mems Of plants which have been found
in the sepulchral monuments OF that
country.
1t is remarkable, says a writer in
Harper's, that, although the botanical
collection is large and contains many
varieties, every plant is still to be
found growing In the valley Of the
Nile. Moreover, the closest examina-
ton fails to reveal the slightest diff
ference between the plants that -four
ished fifty centuries ago and those
which the traveller sees today on the
banks OF the river.
Flowers such as the boy Moses or
the children of Joseph picked still
bloom unchanged. There are to be
seen here blue sprays Of hrkspur
which loving hands laid upon the
bodies of those who died a thousand
years before Abraham and Sarah
went down into Egypt.
In the tombs of later date have
been found, together with apparently
simple ornamental flowers, such as
hollyhocks and chrysanthemums, the
various fruits, vegetables and grains
for which the land has ever been re-
nowned, such as figs, dates, olives,
grapes, pomegranates. onions, barley
and wheat. Around the necks and
upon the breasts of those who died at
the time when Solomon reigned In
Jerusalem, about 1000 B, G., were
found garlands OF celery. which does
not appear to have been used at that
time as a vegetable by the Egyptians.
All these plants, when they were
prepared for the funeral ceremonies,
were subjected to great heat, by which
their form and color were preserved,
but their terminating power was de-
stroyed. Hence all the stories which
have been told of wheat having been
raised from grains that have lain in
the wrappings of mummies for SO GEN.
turtles are untrue. INSCRIPTIONS ma
tives have sold to credulous travellers
wheat in which modern grains have
been mixed with the ancient, but only

New Type Of Spray Nozzle.

oneeighth-inch nozzle under high
pressure and break 1t up into a fine
used 1t is capable Of throwing the
mist 20 or Is feet. This is sufficient
to reach, from a ladder, most of the
foliage on a large elm tree. In case
1t is necessary to reach higher, the
adjustment is thrown out of the CEN

through the oneeighth-inch aperture.
BY this means a greater distance and
carrying power are secured, although
not SO fine a spray.
In the drawing the nozzle is shown
surrounded by a shield, c, which was
for the purpose OF protecting the
point. {. The nozzle as originally con.
structed was not provided with a
shield. being used for some days with.
cut 1t, but with the hard usage which
IL received lit was] found that the
adjustment was likely to be injured.
The nozzle was used In connection
with a machine giving 250 pounds
pressure, and the spraying mixture
was carried through a one-inch hose.
This nozzle was used in
spraying over 1000 trees having an
average diameter Of about % inches.
Careful estimates made showed that
the average amount of ~arsenate Of
lead per tree was IL pounds, or about
II gallons Of arsenate of lead solu-
ton. The cost Of spraying each tree,
including the labor, gasoline and lead,
was IS cents.
The spraying was Just as thorough
and the cost was about one-third of
that by the ordinary method, using
Vermorel and other fne-mist nozzles.

The effectiveness Of spraying de-
Ponds In large measure upon the
character Of the nozzle used, and 1t is
especially important that the nozzle
should be adapted to the specific pur
pose for which it is to be used. G. E.
Stone Of the Massachusetts, station
has devised a nozzle which he has
used with very satisfactory results in
spraying large trees from a high-pres-
sure machine.
This nozzle is shown in Fig. /, at

tightly on to the tip Of a standard at
tachment provided with shut-off, such
as Is often employed in spraying work.
