AFTER HALF-CENTURY MARK
No Real Reason Why Man Of That
Age Should Not Be Capable Of
Good Work.

Speaking Of the age of efficiency,
a Toledo gentleman locates 1t be-
yond the half-century mark. He calls
our attention to the fact that Column
bus was fifty-six when he discovered
America, that Darwin, Kant, Spencer
Wagner, Haydn and others did their
greatest and best work when far past
the ficty mark, and that some have
persisted in great accomplishment I'M
til seventy or more years of age. This
argument won't help the man who is
aged and broken and tottering at fifty,
will 1t? But 1t will hearten the man
Of forty or more who has been care
full of his resources, to think that
to him achievement still Is a POSSIBLE
ity-and 1t may find him the opportu-
nifty to achieve by convincing some
master of opportunity that years do
not always spell senility or loss Of
virility. The young man may reflect
that he has the opportunity to run
long race-and he may catch sight of
the fact that the man of fifty is not
necessarily a back number" merely
because of his half. century.

ORCHARD
GLrANINGS
SPRAY FOR SAN JOSE SCALE
Arc Enormous-FormuIa Given for
Effective Mixture.

(By III. w. DOYLE. Department OF Agri-
culture. Kansas. Copyright. 19l4)
Look for flattened circular scale
about the size OF the head Of a pin.
The color Is almost or quite black,
with ring near the center, on the in
side OF which may be distinguished a
small nipple. The multiplying powers
or the San Jose scale are enormous.
They lie fat against the bark, skin of
fruit or leaves of trees and rapidly
cover the entire plant with a continu-
Gus layer of minute scales. Each scale
sucks sap through tiny beak. Fruit
and scales cannot grow on the same
tree. Young trees succumb. The San
Jose scale Is especially fond of the
peach, currant, plum, pear and apple.
Hopelessly infested trees should be
cut down and burned completely. A
very effective spray, which also de-
stroys peach leaf curl, apple scab and
other fungous diseases, is one consist
Ing of 20 pounds of quicklime. Is
pounds of flowers Of sulphur and SO
gallons Of water.
into thick paste in a separate vessel
Place the lime with about ten gallons
of warm water in 30-gallon iron ket-
tie over fire. Add water as needed to
keep the shaking lime from sputtoring,
stirring frequently. When the lime is
broken up into pasty mass add the
sulphur. Then boil for an hour, add
ing hot water from time to time. When
the color changes to clear brown re-
move from the fire and add hot water
to make so gallons. Stir and strain
through burlap or an iron or brass
strainer with at least twenty threads
to the inch. Use while warm. In
using lime provide covers for the
horses for protection against the
spray. Old cotton sheeting or bags
sewed together will answer the pur-
pose.
Apply in the spring just before the
buds open. Before spraying is at
tempted trees should be severely
pruned and all loose bark scraped off,
Absolute thoroughness in covering all
scales is necessary because the spray
kills by contact only.
In orchards of 100 trees or less a
good spray pump with large air
chamber, mounted on 50-gallon bar
rel, will answer the purpose. All
working parts should be of brass. II
should be fitted with 20-foot hose,
an eight to twelve-foot extension rod
and nozzle that Will throw a fine,
misty spray. At least two men will be
required to operate the apparatus, one
to pump and the other to manage the
hose. Large sprayers with gasoline
engine power are used in big orchards.

HAPPY NOW

II am one of family Of twelve,

a healthy person uncomfortable by
their complaining Of headache, dizzi-
ness, sour stomach, etc., from drinking
coffee.
For years mother suffered from
palpitation Of the heart, sick head
ache and bad stomach and at times
would be taken violently Ill. About
year ago she quit coffee and began
Postum.
my brother was troubled with
headache and dizziness all the time
he drank coffee. All those troubles of
my mother and brother have disap-
peared since Postum has taken the
place of coffee.
"A sister was i'll nearly all her life
with headache and heart trouble, and
about all she cared for was coffee and
tea The doctors told her she must
leave them alone, as medicine did her
no permanent gOou.
"She thought nothing would take
the place Of coffee until we induced
her to try Postum. Now her troubles
are all gone and she is happy little

New Wood on Peach Tree.

The peach, in normal conditions,
produces considerable new wood each
year. An overabundance of fruit buds
is formed on this new growth. Left
to itself the tree will bear large
amount of small fruit and will soon
become long and spindling, on ac-
count of its tendency to make upward
growth. Therefore the pruning should
consist OF cutting out all of the weak
last seasons growth and the main
upward growths, and then cutting
back about one-tbird to a half Of the
remaining annual shoots.

and a bundle Of papers bearing the
names of several Drexel-Biddle BIZ
