SPRAYING The APPLE and PEACH
BY c. W. STRICKLAND.
(Old Address, Berlin, Md.
New Address, Princess Anne, Md.

There are essentials in any spray ing
FhOroughness of work
Doing the work at the proper time
An outfit capable of dong good work.
The right kind aud strength of material
ANY spraying worth doing, is worth
doing well; and to do it well no one oil
tn Sc four essentials may be neglected
1t would be difficult to say which is the
m 'Ot important; all are essential to sue.
ce y in spraying
ThOToughness, absolute throughness,
is an ideal to which We may aspire. but
seldom attain. However it is easily
possibly to do good work by using care,
Watching the sprayed trees carefully for
missed places and working Systematically.
ThrOughness is all important Gnesswork
won't dO-one must know that tine spray
solution is properly distributed OH the
trees
A little consideration of the problems
involved Will show that it Is necessary
for the work 10 be done at the proper time
Spraying being largely preventive, must
be done at sncn times as to prevent fun
gOus diseases and insects from obtaining
a footnOld. Men have determined, 10y
study and eXD-rieBee. at what stages in
the life histories of tie various Uests il is
most practicable 70 combat them. Thus
a few days may make ali the difference
between success AID partial or complete
failure.
1t goes without saving that one cannot
reasonably hope 10 do good work poor
outfit, one that is unsuted 10 the work
Some old worn sprayers are man Killers.
A poor eprsyer may waste a great tea of
time and sprayiI g solution by giving ia
sufficient pressure and getting out of
order, as well as render it impossible to
good work
For ordinary work % to so feet Of hose
is none to much; so pounds pressure is
low enough. A good barrel pump will
give that easi y One should avoid top
heavy pump, one that has leather valves
or that does not have brass working parts |
The Eclipse barrel pump Is one OF tue |
best. The Gould people make COOL |
ones, too
The nozzle is an important part Of the |
outfit. The Nermorei type Is perhaps !
the best for general purpose the newer
kinds throwing ccnical, whriIg mu-t
spray and having no projections to catch
on limbs. A 45o elbow between the ex
tension and the nozzle Is lecessary Tor
some work, especially for the first appli
canton for cOdlng moth. An extension
rod is necessary, it is made preferably Of
bamboo (ined with a tube. of c, urse,)
and should be so or ~ feet long, the
longer length for large trees With such
R rod most of the spraying can he done
from the ground
Different solutions are used for different
purposes in spraying, but in each case
the sOultiOn must meet certain require
ments One should use tie standard,
tested mixtures, and prepare them accord
ng to directions. 1t is not withln the
providence of an article such as this is, ,

our teasing her, but is very stubborn
She says that II she were to be sick in
the same way again she would GER
tainly get Peruna and take it, alcoho
or no alcohol. So you see if people will
persist in such foolishness there ought
to be a law to prevent them"
1 ventured to interpose a question
You say the doctors could not cure
her, and yet you say Peruna did cure
her. What difference does it make to
you whether 1t was alcohol or some
other drug that effected the cure?"
well, don't know that it makes any
difference, but It is deceiving the people
does cure them" he said.
replied. ''Why, I cannot ex-
actly und derstand that. Alcohol
is a drug, the same as qui-
nine or morphin. II alcohol cures
certain diseases where is the deception ?
I understand that the Peruna people
print on the label of each bottle the
per cent. of alcohol contained in Peru
ma. Each patient may read it, if he
pleases. cannot see where there is
any deception"
''well would not take Peruna,' -
he persisted. Now, was sick. 1 had a
disease. A violent pain, that
would come on about an hour or two
after each meal. 1t grew worse and
worse. was also constipated. I con-
suited several doctors in our city about
my health. I went to see a prominent
specialist in New York City, paid out a
great deal Of money, but no help. One
time / was having a bad spell on the
train. The gentleman who occupied
the next seat was a retired physician
with whom had been acquainted. He
said to me, My friend, II you want to
get well would advise you to take a
glass Of lager beer before each meal. I
think that will cure you Having fol-
owed the directions OF several good
without any assistance, I
thought I would try the beer. In a
very short time found it was helping
ne, and I got entirely well. My bowels
became regular and I had no more
,ain. No more distress after meals.
Vow, If my mother had used some
emedy like that it would be all right.
But to persist in using some secret
emedy like Peruna, think it is out
ageous."
AGAIN Ventureu 10 ask some queS-
ions. I asked: What do you sup
'ose it was in the lager beer that ef-
ected the cure?"
why presume it was the stimulant |
contained. Yes, no doubt it was the
timulant"
you know, of course, that the stim-
liant in beer is alcohol, the same as in /
vine or whiskey or any other alco-
olic drink?"
Yes, have heard say that beer con-
aims about five per cent OF alcohol.
"That is correct" replied. "You

Marshall polishing off Marshall and the country

The speedy violation of that pledge has got on
tbe nerves of Democrats hereabOuts who never took
the trouble TO note what Mr.. Marshall was saying
before he became NiceIresident. His epigrams are
not new: they only new 70 Democrats who

Shifty Financial Methods.

When a public service corporation juggles its
hod.keeping so that ii IS enabled to pay dividends
ont Of capital it is called crooked. Governor Sui
zers expedient for abOshing the direct tax during
his term of Office is essentially different i'm its
iugcling Of funds He intends 10 take surplus
money paid in by the taxpayers for the specific pur-
nose Of retiring the states bonds and put it into
general fund, out of which some will be paid back
into the sinking funds to retire bonds thus tempo
rarily preventing the levy Of direct tax for this
nurpose and The remainder may be devoted TO other
purposes
This is neither wise finance nor honest politics.
II has already produced protests TO the State Con
troller from holders Of state bonds and prospective
purchasers Of future issues which the state must
make soon In. other words the states credit has
suffered
The Governors credit with the voters must suffer
also for this juggling of funds does not mean the
economy he promised TO them. 1t is a temptation
to extravaganza 1t is proof Of failure TO reduce
appropriations and admission of the necessity for
borrowing from an accumulated surplus to help out
the emergency.

The Poetry of the Skyscraper.

The American skyscraper has just received pat
on the back or rather the crown from that
alert and up-tOdate philosopher Professor Henri
Bergson. Professor BergSon is pragmatiSt, ana
is therefore prepared to recognize beauty as well
as truth wherever he happens to find it. He Is
not tied down To the worship of old forms simply
because they are old lie is modern minded enough
10 see in the American attempt to devise new
architectural type in order to meet new economic
and unitarian demand the courage Of genuine
idealism.
These buildings are imposing he says zone
feels in them the impression of great nation; they
are charged with powerful poetry According TO
this French philosophers notion the principle Of
beauty is unity and the very multitude of the sky
scrapers forty floors leads back to unity.
New York's "clif jewellers" not all philoso-
Yhers but undoubtedly many of them have discerned
vaguely what appreciative Partisan visitor has
put into words Every age, movement and massive
achievement has its own poetry. All we need in the
downtown district is to exercise little of Pro-
fessor Bergsons imaginative intuition to see the
peaks of our skyscrapers losing themselves in
purpsh poetic haze

Moreover he appears to believe that the voters oil

Congress Should Lead the Way.
The emergency

Congress should pass as promptly as possible a
law regulating the method of electng United States
Senators under the terms of the amendment just
added TO the federal Constitution. There has been
a general impression that each state Legislature
would be left to determine for itself when and
how its representatives ip the Senate should he
chosen Doubtless in those states which have
direct primaries the primary laws will have TO be
extended so as to provide for the nomination Of
Marty candidates for Senator. Possibly in some or
all the states the election laws will also have 10
be amended so as to include Senators among the
public officers 10 be voted for.
But it is primarily the duty of Congress to apply
tbe Seventeenth Amendment II is for the federal
government 10 say just how the states shall elect
senators There is a federal LAW still formally I'M
r,enealed which regulates the choice of Senator's
