Lexington s Disgrace.

Yesterday evening delegation
of citizens including the sheriff,
city officers, city council, and
of the board of health
inspected the Grand Central no
tel. This building has been a
for the rOughscuff of
creation for a long time, but the
true conditions existing within
the four walls Of the building
have not been fully known until
yesterday. The black hole of
Calcutta, we will venture to
state, was a beauty parlor com
pared with it. The conditions
are almost indescribable. The
rooms and Railways are filled
with litter and the vilest refuse
known to the human race. The
life therein is not confined to
those who walk upright. My
riads Of vermin continually agi-
tating the filth keeps the air
filled with a stencil that is quite
unbearable. And all this on
the main street Of Lexington.
The city council last night
condemned the. property and or.
dered the city marshal to close
it at once. This is a good be
ginning, but they should further
insist that it be cleaned and thai
at once for the protection of th'
public health. Hercules had ;
cinch when he cleaned the Au
gean stables in comparison will

erly done by razing the building

Spraying for Scab.

Now is the time to spray for
apple scab. The season is com
ing along so fast that in South
"a Missouri the cluster buds
containing the true flower buds
are beginning to start. If the
present weather holds these olus-
-er buds will be open in a few
days and in just the proper con-
ditiOn for spraying.
Use either commercial lime
sulphur, 3 gallons to 100 gallons
of water, or Bordeaux mixture,
Also, says the State Fruit Elk
pertinent Station at Mountain
Grove, Missouri, but do not un-
der any circumstances omit this
important spray.
For Bordeaux dissolve the
| lime and bluestone for stock so
lutions separately in barrels
never in cans or metal tanks. De
not mix these solutions until just
before they are to be used. They
should be diluted somewhat be
fore they are mixed but can be
diluted Just at the time they are
mixed by pouring them, both at
the same time, into spray tank
nearly full of water with the ag-
itator going. After the mixing
lis complete the rest Of the water
can be added. This method will
give a much better Bordeaux
than can be obtained by mixing
strong solutions and diluting af-
terward.
In applying the scab spray IL
is necessary of course to cover
the whole tree, every twig Of it.
1t is advisable also TO cover the
ground Immediately under it to
prevent the spread of the dis
ease from dead Scabby leaves Of
; last year, still lying on th'
, ground.
If there is danger Of sprinl
canker worm or bud moth add
p pounds of dry arsenate Of leat
, or 4 pounds of the paste lead t.
100 gallons of mixture.
If you want help in planning
: a spray schedule or directions t.
applying sprays, write to tn,

Directions For Spraying Peach
Trees.

NNNSf
The Missouri College of Agri-
culture advises the following sys-
tenn of spraying peaches;
FIRST SPRAYING-A few
days after the blooming period,
when the ealyx tube or "shuck" "
is just dropping off from the lit
tie peaaches, spray with arsenate
of lead paste 2 lbs, lime 4 lbs,
water so gallons. (Slake the
lime, mix the arsenate with water
and pour in, then add water to
make so gallons.)
SECOND SPRAYING Three
weeks after the first application,
use arsenate of lead paste ~
lbs, the Scott self-boiled lime
sulphur $3.50. This kind of
lime sulphur cannot be bought,
so it must be made at home.
Slake 8 lbs. of lime in a box or
large vessel. When it begins to
simmer from its own heat, stir in
is lbs. of fine sulphur. Stop the
simmering or boiling at the end
of eight or ten minutes by pour
ing on cold water. Strain the
mixture into barrel and add
water to bring up to so gallons.
Peaches are sprayed in order
to prevent the brown rot which
destroys the fruit near ripening
time. TO aid in preventing the
rot, it is necessary to poison the
curculiO insect with is responsible,
for spreading the disease.
Sometimes a third application
will be necessary. This shoulC
be made one month before the
fruit is ripe with self-boiled lime
sulphur $3.50. 1t is not necesSar
to add any poison. The com
mercial lime sulphur, even whel
greatly diluted, is not safe TO
spraying peaches, as it is liabl
to cause injury to both fruit an,
, foliage.
SPRAYING OUTFITS-A ban
rel sprayer will spray from fiv
to ten acres Of orchard and costs
complete, from $12 to $50. /
bucket sprayer is useful fo
whitewashing or spraying a do2
en- trees or less; costs $3.50 t
$S. The small hand compresse
air and knapSack outfits ar
used for spraying potatoes, nu
Sery trees, berries and vineyards
They cost So to $15. ALI spray
