Fertility Thoughts.

No stream rises higher than it's source.
No farm grows in fertility and the power
of profitable production beyond what
the owner or manager knows and COM
prehends of what that problem means
to him and the farm.
Before fertility can be implanted In
the soil, before the serious mistake OF
robbing the soil is committed, the mind
of the farmer or manager of the farm
must have some definite knowledge of
soils, of the elements that enter into the
function of fertility, how to supply and
apply these elements. For example,
when farmer is ignorant Of the mean
ing and use in the soils of nitrogen, pot.
ash, and phosphate; when he has so
little mental interest in these elements
that he ia willing to remain in igno.
rance Of them and what they mean when
he will take no pains to be instructed BY
Others or instruct himself, that man
gives evidence of being an unfit manager
of farm, and the soil is always sure to
suffer loss in producing power while 10
his hands.
The time has come with these depict
ed farms, constantly losing In fertility as
they are, when every farmer must face
the necessity of putting forth more OF.
fort to read up, think up, post up, and
bring up bis mind to better state oil
knowledge than he has been having on
this question. The soil is constantly
suffering because he will not do all this;
because he will not try and make him.
self intelligent on this matter of fertility.
There is where all the trouble lies. The
man is ignorant of what he ought to
know and must know If his farm keeps
up.
There Is no lodging the great fact
that ignorance Of the principles OF fer
.tility has brought tremendous destruc'
ton to vast number of American farm.
ers. Nothing but better knowledge and
better methods of management will re.
store that lost fertility. With it has
gone an enormous sum in the decline OF
farm values.
Every farmer should hold himself
sharply responsible for the maintenance
Of the producing power of his farm. To
do that, he must educate himself; must
train his mind to know and understand
what right soil management means.
There is no other road to travel. No
farm ever yet gained in its producing
power through the ignorance of It's man,
ager. Nothing short Of better knowl'
edge ever brought improved condition to
the farm. And nothing short of this
better knowledge will induce the farmer
to do his duty to his soil. Right there,
and only there, is where farm fertility
and farm values get away. 1t is In the
mind of the farmer.-Hoard's Dairyman.

Never Spray Trees In Bloom.

Professor Surface, state zoologist o
Pennsylvania, recently sent the follow
ing to the Practical Farmer, In reply to
q question as to what to use at tina,
time:
II note with interest that You make
inquiry concerning the kind OF spray to
use while the trees are in bloom. Agar
hasten to say that you are decidedly
wrong. Please get IL out of your head
now and forever, for your own sake and
that of your crop, as we'll as for the
bees, that no trees, shrubs, bushes, or
vines of any kind should ever be sprayed
while in bloom. Please tell this to your
neighbors. Please tell It to the editors
of all the papers. Proclaim 1t from the
housetops. Let everybody learn that
to spray tree while in bloom IL liable
not only to injure the fruit, and thus
help to destroy the crop, but also kills
the bees and other insects that are abso-
lutely essential iu carrying pollen from
fruit to fruit, and thus help fertilizs the
blossoms and insure crop.
"If there is any one thing against
which there should be definite and en-
phatic legislation in this state at the
present time, it is the ignorant and ab'
surb practice of few persons who yet
appear to spray while in bloom. Please
help US to educate the people against
this practice. Education as practical
and rational as this would do much more
than legislation, as growers, II educated
on this point, would understand 1t Ia
greatly to their disadvantage to spray
while in bloom. This fact should be
placed before each school teacher, and
kept on the walls OF each school room of
the state. Let US make it strong. Tell
every school teacher 10 your county to
write on the blackboard in capitals:
Never spray while in bloom
Another reason for not spraying
while in bloom is that there is no need
oft. There are no pests that must or
shonld be killed or prevented at this
time. 1t will not do anywhere near the
amount of good that it would to spray
before the blossoms appear, and again
after they fall. Before the blossoms
open, spray with the boiled lime-sulphur
solution, either homemade or CONNER
cisl, boiling one pound of lime and two
pounds of sulphur in one gallon of water
for one hour, and dilute this with about
six or seven times It's bulk OF water, and
spray the trees thoroughly and before
the blossoms open. About the time the
leaf buds are swelling is the best time.
This is good for all kinds Of trees,
shrubs and bushes. After the brown
husks of corollas fall from around your
peaches and plums, use this same prep
aration, but ten times as much water as
you would at the other time; and to
every fifty gallons of the extremely d.
lutte preparation add two pounds of ar
senate OF lead, and spray again. The
first spraying here mentioned is to kill
the San Jose scale and certain other In.
sects and plant disease germs. The sec
ond spraying is for tho curculio that
makes wormy fruits, and when used on
poue fruits, or apple, pear, and ounce,
it is for the codling moth and certain
other insects and diseases"

UNNECESSARY TO RISK LIFE
French Police Use Suftocating Gas
That Makes Arrest Of Dangerous
Person Easy.

Bullet-proof armor and revolvers
discharging cartridges containing a
suffocating gas, were used by the
French police in securing a demented
woman who was firing at everybody
within sight These weapons were
provided for the special police after
the downfall of the motor bandits.
The scene of their use was Neuilly.
The woman had barricaded herself in
her room, and from her window she
fired upon anyone who passed by.
A force of police, projected by
breastplates and carrying the gas-dis-
charging revolvers, went to the house.
They were received with volley, but
on reaching the door of her room they
fired the gas charges through a hole
in the woodwork. In a few minutes
the woman fell Unconscious to the
floor, and the men were able to secure
her and take her away without the
least trouble. 1t is said that, though
the gas thus fired causes almost i'm
mediate unconsciousness. it has no
unpleasant after effects
