some SPRAY INFORMATION
r. H. Mediation, Professor Of tiorti.
culture, Georgia State College
Of Agriculture.

Insects that eat leaves and swallow
them are killed by arsenate Of lead,
made by mixing two pounds arsenate
Of lead. two pounds Of quick lime and
SO gallons of water. For small april
cations an ounce Of arsenate Of lead,
one ounce Of quick lime and one gal
Ion Of water viii serve the purpose.
Insects that suck their food like
plant lice, may be killed with soap and
water using one pound soap to SIX
gallons Of water. They may also be
destroyed by boiling one pound to-
bacco dust tn gallon of water for
one hour, diluting with water to the
color Of ordinary tea, and applying
with spray pump. Soap may also be
added to the tobacco fluid.
For plant diseases the most general
~ used fungicide is Bordeaux mixture,
made Of one ounce copper sulphate
mixed with two quarts of water, two
ounces OF quick lime slaked and made
up of two quarts with water, the cop
per sulphate and the slaked lime mix
lures are poured together through a
fly screen which gives a gallon of the
bordeaux mixture.
In combating plant diseases it is
important that the same crops should
not grow on the same ground year af-
ter year A minimum amount Of dam
age will result il rotation is practiced
and sometimes a disease can be en-
tirely overcome in this way.

not familiar with the laws govern
ing subscriptions Here are the
decisions Of the United States court

esting 70 delinquent subscribers:
Subscribers who do not give ex-
press notice to the contrary are con-
sidered as wishing to renew their

continuance Of their publication the
publisher may continue to send
them until all dues are paid.
If the subscribers refuse to take
periodicals from the post office to

sponsible until he has settled his
bill and ordered the paper discon-
blnueus

The courts have held that re-
fusing to take periodicals from post

He sits with closed eyes. while his

waist. Prints of this picture are to

OF naval battle pictures, perhaps
the most notable is that which illus

knocked at the door and man came
out, and he said to the man: ANY

The man took his pipe out Of his
mouth, and looking over the deal, re-
piled: mo fish today"
The man went back down the noun
tain. When he had reached the bot

Mental healing has long been pracr
ticed, but Doctor Berillon Of Paris as
serts that psychotherapia is the medi-
cine Of the future. He does not put his
patients into an hypnotic trance, but
places them In an environment which
creates the appetite for sleep and in
vites them to repose on bed and
think OF nothing Then he leaves
them. They gradually succumb to the
tick-tack of a metronome.
When the patient is In a hynotic
slumber, If 1t is desired that he should
be cured Of excessive Indulgence In all
cohol. the psychotherapist suggests to
him that he cannot raise a glass of
absinthe to HIS lips, and repeats the
suggestion until the prohibition is so
engraved on his brain that II he would

suited by those who wish to be cured
of an unhappy love passion. Through
hypnotism they obtain their release.

,RENOWN WON BY CRIPPLEs
Numerous Cases Where lnfIrmltles
Have Not Hlndered the Climbing
Of the Ladder Of Fame.

Many persons, crippled in early age,
have, Notwithstanding their infirmity
made name for themselves In the
history of the world.
The notorious, or famous, according
to the point of view, French states
man Talleyrand, the friend of Napol-
con, and for a time French ambas-
sador at the English court, was
through an accident when one year
old, rendered a cripple for life His
cunning, cleverness, political penetra-
ton, adroit intrigues and ingenious
subterfuges were vehemently opposed
by the emperors wife, Josephine, who
energetically denounced him as o
"cursed cripple"
Both Lord Byron and Sir Walter
Scott were lame.
Mrs. Browning, the distinguished
English poetess, was of delicate con-
stitution, and never enjoyed robust
health. Her sufferings were due to
an accident which happened in her
sixteenth year. She was one day try
ing to saddle her pony in field when
she fell with the saddle upon her, in
curing an injury to the spine. The
after affects we're so serious that for
years she had to recline on her back.
In every walk Of life, crippled per-
sons have won renown, and proved
that their infrmity has by no means
hindered their rise UP the ladder Of
fame.
