Spraying is done for the purpose
OF preventing injury to the fruit, foil
age and wood of trees and other
plants caused by disease and insects.
Diseases OF plants may be caused by
the growth In the tissues OF bacteria
or fungi. Bacteria usually grow be-
meath the surface and can not be com
bated by means OF spraying. Some
fungi grow upon the surface, sending
feeding organs down into the tissue
from which they secure nourishment
from the plant sap These fungi are
reproduced by means of spores which
are carried in the air until they set
tie upon leaf. fruit or wood, where
they terminate and grow, becoming
the injurious fungous tissue. II the
leaves or fruit are covered with
substance which is poisonous to the
fungus the spores will be killed at
the time they terminate. Substances
that thus prevent the growth OF germ
mating apores are called fungicides.
As rule these fungicides must be APP
piled in summer when the fruit or
foliage is likely to be infected. How
ever, in the case of a very few dis
eases like peach leaf curl spraying In
early spring before growth starts is
successful
The two most important fungicides
(sprays to prevent fungous diseases)
for summer spraying are Bordeau mix
ture and lime-sulphur.
We have two classes of insecticides
(sprays to kill insects) For insects
that eat from the surface of the plant
a poison on the leaves or fruit will
kill the insect Usually the spray
Esed in this case is some compound
containing arsenic. The most impor.
tant insecticide is arsenate OF lead
There are also insecticides used to
kill insects that do not eat from the
surface, but penetrate the surface with
their heaks and suck the juices from
beneath. 1t is plain that such an in
sect could not eat any poison placed
upon the leaves, but must be de-
stroyed by a spray that kills by com
ing in contact with its body. so in

NEW BROCADES
ADD BRlLLIANCY
TO SHOPPING BAG

THE new metallic brocades, and 9TH
1 err brocades in ribbons, exception
ally rich In effect. are used in making
up bits OF splendor in bags. A great
advantage lies In the fact that plain
ribbons are used in conjunction with
the brocaded patterns and the heavy
texture of the brocades especially
those having metal threads) gives
body as well as brilliance to this sea-
sons bags.
These brocades are found in the me
dunn and narrow widths. They com
bine to advantage with plain soft satin
ribbons for many reasons. The plain
ribbon is chosen in the color which Is
predominant in the brocaded ribbon,
and becomes background, which en-
hances the beauty OF the latter
Three handsome bags are pictured
here. They are easy to make and ele-
CANT enough for any one. Although
the ribbons used are expensive, only
small quantities are necessary, arc
there is hardly any other gift embody
ing so much elegance for as lttle
money, as these luxurious bags.
The bag at the left of the picture is
made of rich brown satin ribbon,
about five inches wider stitched to a
strip of gold and brown brocaded rib.

figured ribbon. 1t is FIVE inches In d.
ameter. The length of ribbon made Of
three strips 1.-TWO plain and one fig
ured) runs around the bag, and the
edge OF one strip Is gathered to the
covered dish. At the top OF the bag
a two-inch hem, with parallel rows OF
stitching, to form a casing, accommo-
dates small length of round elastic.
This forms the mouth of the bag.
Heavy satin ribbon an inch wide,
In the same shade as that of the plain
satin ribbon In the bag, is used for
the hangers or handles. Narrower sat
in ribbon in the same color and shade,
provides the rosettes at the side. This
is lovely opera bag, suitable, too. to
be worn with visiting gown. II is
less expensive than bags in which
brocaded ribbons are used, for the fig
ured ribbon may be either printed or
''woven-in" design.
The third bag is a splendid bit OF
finery in which plain gold-colored sat
in ribbon and narrow gold brocade
Showing a surface almost entirely OF
metal threads) are combined to make
an opera bag The cord is OF gold col
ored satin-covered cable cord, and
might be effectively replaced with the
regular metallic cords which are shown
for this and similar purposes.
The narrow brocaded ribbon is cut
in the required lengths (enough for
both sides of the bag), and Joined by
pipings of the plain gold colored satin.
A bottom for the bag is made by Gov
ering an oblong piece Of cardboard
about two and quarter inches wide
with the plain ribbon. A mirror in
serted here adds to the attractiveness
of the bag.
Both top and bottom of the bag are
bound with the brocaded ribbon, ma
chine stitched to place. Machine
stitching is a factor in the shapeliness
OF these bags. The covered bottom Is
finally sewed in and the cord hangers
sewed to position
This is one of the most fascinating
of the new designs, any one of which

butcher store after her supplies.

been with difficulty disposed of she
went once more to the butcher and

said:
How many young chickens have
you today?"
The butcher said: 81 have but
three in the shop"
II want two of the toughest you
have" said Mrs. Newlywed.
The butcher was surprised, but
brought out two and assured her that
these we're the toughest in the place.
