Regarding. High Cost of Living

II know married men holding $15Ot
clerical positions who seem to make both
ends meet, but l cannot figure out just
lily and 1 find it hard to live on $1,000 a
year." said a man who gets a salary of
not less than $250o.
ION a recent Sunday was riding
through West End with wealthy citizen,
who is director in one of the large
banks. We passed two story house
and man whom l recognized as a bar
tender was sprinkling the lawn. 1 knew
nothing of the bartender's domestic life,
but he was evidently a man of family,
and 1 suppose his salary was not more
than $100 month. 1 asked my friend If
a man on $1,000 could live in the style the
man referred to was evidently living. AS
suming that your bartender acquaintance
is honest, he is either running in debt
or his wife has money! said the capitalist.
No man on $1,000 with a wife and children
can liveNin good style
Twenty years ago., continued my
friend, when my family was small and
my income was relatively small / man
aged by the strictest economy to raise a
young family on $500 year. l still live
economically, but in a much better house
than l did some years ago, and l spend
between $4,000 and $4,000 year. The high
cost of living has made a great change,
and young man who has been Used to
all the comforts and some of the lux
uries of life is running a risk to marry on
a $500 salary. OF course. it can be done,
but in view of the present cost of living
the young man had better deny himself
luxuries and save several thousand dollars
before entering the matrimonial state''

sTRAINlNG OF LIME.sULPHuR
Comparatively New Spray Material 10
Used Primarily for Control Of
the Brown Rot. -
(By M. W. R1cHARDs.)

Self-boiled limesulphur is . com.
paratively new spray material as
made at the present time and is
used primarily for the control OF the
brown rot on the stone fruits. Its
preparation is simple and should not
be confused with that of boiled lime
sulphur. Self-boiled lime-sulphur is a
simple mechanical mixture of free
lime and sulphur. while boiled lime
sAphur Is a mixture of complex and
lime. Selfboiled lime-sulphur l. made
by shaking eight pounds OF good, high
grade stone lime in a tub or box.
Just as the lime starts to slake eight
pounds of high-grade flowers of sui
phur are sifted In. The shaking lime
causes the lime and sulphur to mix
thoroughly. After the lime has slaked
for from ten to fifteen minutes. cold
water should be added SO as to stop
the shaking. II this is not done. the
lime may develop enough heat to
cause the lime and sulphur to go into
chemical combination which results In
the formation of soluble sulphides
that are highly Injurious to peach
leaves. The mixture of lime and sui
phur Is now diluted to so gallons
and strained into the spray barrel.
Great care should be taken to work
through all Of the sulphur, as this Is
the material which exerts the fungici-
dal property. In making self-boiled
lime-sulphur for orchard use. it is ad-
visable to work with large quantities
Of lime and sulphur such as 80 pounds
Of lime, 80 pounds of sulphur and 200
gallons of water. The heat developed
from this large quantity Of lime will
better mix the lime and sulphur. This
large mass of material will have to be
thoroughly stirred. however. as the

type, al d the Abyssinian, q type with
rather long hair standing out in curl
4ous rosettes all over the body. The
long-haired CAVES are not recon-
mended for ordinary pets, as their
coats NEED much care. The smooth
haired require less attention and
make equally attractive pets. They
have the advantages of being easily
kept and of never biting when han
died. However, 1t is not advisable to
subject pet animals Of any sort to
much handling or fondling. Even
dogs aad cats are always the worse
for such treatment, and pet rabbits
or guinea pigs soon show the results
of much handling In their roughened
coats and lack Of sprightliness. Long
haired guinea pigs, especially II in
tended for show. require some han
ding, since the hair has to be
brushed frequently. This is best
done while the animal rests on a high
shelf where 1t need not be held dur
ing the brushing.
Guinea pigs are in much demand for
experimental use in the preparation.
testing. and standardizing serums and
antitoxtns. They are well adapted for
this purpose, being small and easily
handled. Their use in medical re-
search is steadily increasing. and
some of the large institutions, unable
to secure steady supply of reliable
stock for their own purposes, have
set up breeding establishments OF
their own.
Sometimes guinea pigs found in
bird stores are unfit for laboratory
experiments. They have been pre-
viously used for serum or antitoxin
tests or may be the offspring of ami
mails that have survived such tests.
J-less the dealer knows the source
from which the animals came and
can guarantee that they have never
been used for experiments, he can
rarely sell them to institutions. Any
breeder undertaking to supply animals
to laboratories must give absolute as
surance as to their suitability for ex.
periments. If he can do this and fur.
nish the animals as needed. he should
he able to command good prices for
them and to establish permanent
and lucrative business.
The chief enemy of the guinea pig
l. the common rat. Preventive meas
ures should be taken for the extermin.
alton of rats; after they have thor
oughly established themselves about
the premises it is no easy task. In a
neighborhood that Is rat-infested
buildings intended for housing guinea
pigs should be made absolutely rat
proof.
