lowing the examinations a rule was
adopted requiring all students enter
ing upon course in n college of phar-
macy this year, to secure a State pre-
liminary certificate from the Bureau
OF Professional Education on or be-
fore December Is.
Investigations made by the board
reveal that cottonseed oil is freuuentIv
sold in the State under the name of
sweet oil. The attention of all dealers
in this product is directed to such
sale and labelling as unlawful, being
in violation of the drugs act of 1908,
(P. L. 268, which provides that a
drug shall be deemed to be misbrand-
ed, for the purpose of the act, If of
fered for sale under the name of

oil expressed from the ripe fruit of
the olive tree, and the only article
which may be lawfully sold in Penn

Spray Injury on Leaves.

this trouble extending over several
years at the Maine station, shows that
leaf spot, in that section. at least, Is
by no means confined to that caused
by the use of sprays, as some fungous
diseases may cause leaf-spot on
sprayed and unsprayed trees.
In many sections of the country,
Missouri, New York, Arkansas, Ore
gon, New Hampshire, reports indicate
that no injury is sustained by the use
of self-boiled, home-cooked lime-sul-
phur spray. In some other states in
jury from this source has been found
However, there is every reason to be-
lieve that it may be used on the more
tender varieties with much less dam
ger of injury than with bordeaux mix
ture. 1t is probable that the COM
bined use of the two would yield the
more satisfactory results. That is, for
the susceptible varieties, use bordeaux
mixture for the first spraying, before
the leaves unfold. and follow this
with lime-sulphur for the later spray
ings.

scattered over the apple, but more
frequently on those parts which re-
ceived the most spray. These spots
differ from those caused by the apple
scab fungus in that they are more
regular and are not sunken. AS the
apple grows these spots are replaced
by russeted blotches. In severe cases
the fruit may become. distorted, irreg.
ular and sometimes cracked.
Much of the injury from bordeaux
may be avoided if proper attention is
given certain factors which have more
or less to do with it's occurrence Too
strong bordeaux should not be applied
"a $3.50 mixture is recommended.
The lime should be of good quality
and approximately equal parts of
lime and copper sulphate should be
used.
Never pour concentrated solutions
together-equal and full dilution of
the milk of lime and copper solutions
should be made before mixing. Cover
the fruit and foliage with a fine mist,
but do not apply sufficient mixture to
cause the trees to drip. Do not spray
during rainy, foggy or damp weather.
Study susceptibility of varieties. Some
varieties of apples are almost immune
from bordeaux injury, and others are
injured but slightly, while some other
varieties are badly injured Those
varieties which are known to be sus-
ceptible to this injury should not be
sprayed with bordeaux mixture after
the leaves begin to unfold.
Spotting of the leaves is closely
associated with the russeting of the
fruit by spray. However, a study Of

MAKING DIRT ROADS BETTER
Foreman Must Know What, How and
When to PIow-Avoid Building Up
Too Much at One Time.
R1 E. VAN RENTHuYSENN

10y II. VAN DEN II NJ Benz
With sandy soil and a subsoil OF
clay, or clay and gravel, pillow deep
so as to raise and mix the clay with
the surface soil and sand. The COM
bination forms a sand-clay road at
trifing expense.
If the road be entirely of sand a
mistake will be made If 1t is plowed,
unless clay can be added. Such plow.
ing would merely deepen the sand,
and at the same time break up the
small amount of hard surface material
which may have formed.
If the subsoil is clay, and the sur
face scant in sand or gravel, blowing
should not be resorted to, as 1t would
result in a clay surface rather than
one of sand or gravel.
A road foreman must know not only
what to pillow and what not to pillow,
but how and when to pillow.
If the road is of the kind which, &C.
cording to the above instructions,
should be plowed over it's whole width,
the best method is to run the first
furrow in the middle of the road and
work out to the sides, thus forming a
crown. Results from such blowing are
greatest in spring or early summer.
In bitches a pillow can be used to
good advantage, but should be fol
lowed by scraper or grader. To
make wide, deep bitches nothing bet.

1t is mistake, however, to attempt
to handle long-haul material with this
scraper, as the wheelscraper is bet.
ter adapted to such work. For hauls
of more than 800 feet, wagon should
be used. The machine most generally
used in road work is the grader or
road machine. This machine is espe-
cially useful in smoothing and crown
ing the road and in opening bitches.
A clay subsoil under thin coating
of soil should not be disturbed with
a grader. 1t is also a mistake to use
a grader indiscriminately and to pull
material from bitches upon a sandy
road.
Not infrequently turf, soil and silt
from ditch bottoms are piled in the,
middle of the road in ridge, making
mudholes certainty. 1t is important
in using a grader to avoid building up
the road too much at one time. A
road gradually built up by frequent
use of the grader will last better than
if completed at one operation.
The foreman frequently thinks his
road must be high in the first instance.
He piles up material from ten inches
to foot in depth, only to learn, with
the arrival of the first rain, that he
has furnished the material for so many
inches of mud. I'll material should
be brought up in thin layers, each
layer we'll puddled and firmly packed

Is added. A common mistake is to
crown too high with the road machine
on a narrow road.
The split-log drag should be used to
fill the ruts and smooth the road when
not too badly washed. The drag pos
sesses great merit and is so simple in
construction and operation that every
farmer should have one.

Pruning BIackberries.

1t is best to prune blackberries in
the fall. Usually only five or six
canes from each root should be al
lowed to grow, the others being pulled
out while they are still small. When
the canes are two and one-half to
three feet high the tips should be
cut or pinched back two or three
inches. This checks upward growth
and many laterals push out. These
laterals bear the fruit the following
season.

GEOGRAPHICAL PUZZLES.
Where Were Ultima Thule and the Lost
 Atlantis Located?

Where Were Ultima Thule and the Lost
 Atlantis Located?
 A most puzzling geographic mystery has come down from ancient times. This is the old question as to the iden- tity of Ultima Thule. It was about 400 B. c. that Pytheas, citizen of Mas silia, sailed on his famous voyage. He discovered Albion and then continued farther north until he reached spot which he named Ultima Thule. What this country was has never been deter mined. It may have been Shetland or Norway or Iceland.
 Another ancient puzzle is that of At lantis. It is commonly believed now adays that this vanished continent did once actually lie beyond the pillars of Hercules, and there are theories unend- ing concerning it. Some regard the Canary islands as fragmentary remains of it, others think that the supposedly lost land was really America; but. in considering these speculations. 1t is we'll to bear in mind the fact that the first mention of the country was made by Plato, and many scholars are sure that the philosopher merely indulged in an imaginative flight. The solitary evi. dence that Atlantis ever existed is his reference to it-Chicago Herald
