FOR PEACE JUBILEE.
$4,000 Appropriated to Send Missouri
Veterans to Gettysburg.

Jefferson City.-Adjt Gen John d.
OMeara has about rounded up all the
details incident to preliminary prep
arations for sending Missouri veter.
ans of the civil war to participate in
the Gettysburg celebration and peace
Jubilee, which will take place early
in July on the fiftieth anniversary of
the great battle.
The forty-seventh general assembly
appropriated $4,000 for the purpose
of paying for transportation for the
Missouri veterans, Union and Confed.
crate, who were engaged in the bas-
tie
The state will pay the transporta-
ton only, but the veterans are to be
cared for while at Gettysburg by the
state of Pennsylvania, which has pro-
vided a large fund for their enter
tainment.
II is estimated 1t will cost the state
an average of $50 per man for round
trip transportation. Each will be pro-
vided with roundtrip ticket from his
home to Gettysburg.
So far applications have been re-
ceived from 100 Union veterans and
about SO Confederates. At the out.
side IL is believed there will not be
more than $50 from Missouri
The transportation board, which
consists of Adit. Gen. O'Meara, Col.
Thomas b. Rodgers of St. Louis, rep
resenting the G. A. r., and Gen. J.
William Towson of Shelbna, repre-.
senting the United Confederate Vet
Grams, will meet here Monday, May
10, TO make final arrangements. At
this meeting Gen. O'Meara expects to
receive proportions as to rates from
the railroads.
Some idec, of the inroads time is
making in the ranks of those who
fought in the great war of half a cen
fury ago is indicated by the fact that
in jefferson City, where there always
were many veterans of both sides,
there are today only two men eligible

more and pour the two together at the
same time, into a third barrel; pour
them through a sieve so all the rocks,
trash, etc, will be kept out of the
final mixture. While applying this
mixture keep it well stirred.
Paris Green: A deadly poison for
biting insects, made as follows: Paris
green, l pound; quick lime, l to 2
pounds; water, $50 to 200 gallons.
Mix the paris green into paste with
water; slack the lime and add the
whole required amount of water. Par
is green may also be used in connec-
ton with bordeaux mixture instead or
water; the bordeaux taking the place
of the water. Paris green is not used
with self-boiled lime sulphur.
Arsenate of Lead: A biting insect
eide as paris green, but more effective,
as it is not so apt to hurt the foliage
of the tree; ii is, however, more ex-
pensive than the paris green: Arsen-
ate of lead, to pounds; quick lime,
2 to pounds; water, so gallons. Slack
the lime in the water and mix In the
arsenate of lead. Either bordeaux
mixture or self-boiled lime-sulphur
can be used with the material instead
of water
Kerosene Emulsion: This is con
tact insecticide, used In the summer
time for soft-boiled insects, like plant
lice; IL is made as follows: Soft water.
l gallon (add borax to soften If water
is hard), good hard soap, l to 2
pounds; kerosene, l quart. Shave
the soap into the water and warm until
thoroughly dissolved; then add the
kerosene and churn or pump 1t back
and forth into itself for at least Is min
utes or half hour; when thoroughly
emulsified. add 81 to % gallons of wa
ter to make Z per cent. solution; 2
gallons gives an per cent. and II to
IL gallons gives per cent; the orig
inal solution is Is per cent. Never APP
ply the Is per cent. first; always start
with the per cent. solution and work
up to the stronger ones; 1t is hardly
ever necessary to use more than 7
per cent. for ordinary plant lice. Be
careful in making this mixture, for II
the oil separates upon the plant the
leaves are sure to be injured and
likely killed.
Soap Solution: Where foliage is too
tender to stand the kerosene. soap, at
the rate of ! pound to to gallons Of
water may be used instead; 1t Is not
as good as the emulsion, but great
deal safer.

All this said, not to discourage the
growing OF the farm orchard, but
merely to point out some things nee
essary to make 1t a success; and to
show by contrast how easy 1t is for
the farmer to have liberal supply of
the small fruits.
1t is poor economy for farmers to
try to get on without a home orchard
but 1t is much worse for them to try
to get on without berries and other
bush fruits and grapes. All berries
are easily grown. The strawberry can
be planted one year and be in full

The currant worm, gooseberry blight

berry weevil will do considerable
damage in the aggregate, but all OF
them are more or less localized
and most of them are easily con.
trolled. A man with q Sc knapsack
sprayer need spend only a few hours
in season to protect enough bushes
and vines to produce all the small
fruits the average farm family will
need.
