ton. If the aphis appear in great num-
bers. spray the leaves with kerosene
emulsion. A sharp look out must be
kept for borers. These little pests can
not be sprayed, but must be dug out
with a knife or pointed wire. More
over, if left to their own devices they
win destroy the trees in comparative
IL short time.
Bush fruits and vines also have their
enemies and must be sprayed. The
gooseberry is attacked by mildew, leaf
blight and worms and should be sprayed
carefully, especially under the leaves,
where the eggs of the eurrant worm are
laid. An excellent spray is made by
using Bordeaux mixture in the proper
ton of one gallon of Bordeaux mixture
to fifty gallons of water, to which is
added half a pound of paris green to
$50 gallons of the Bordeaux mixture,
and this can also be used on currants.
Raspberry and blackberry bushes should
be gone over and all the misshapen, dis
eased and CALLED canes cut out; then
spray with copper sulphate solution.
Tie grapevines should be pruned early
and sprayed with copper sulphate solu-
ton for mildew and leaf blight, and
for worms add paris green as given
above.
What Kind of a Sprayer to Buy
These spray mixtures can be bought
from reliable seed houses, and spraying
outfits are for sale in every city, town
and village, so there is no excuse in
these modern days for allowing insects
to get the best of the situation. In
buying a sprayer one should have def
nitely in mind for just what purpose it
is to be used. For example, if there are
only fruit bushes and grapevines, a
knspsack sprayer has many good
points, especially the compressed air
ones They hold about five gallons, and
two or three pumpings nearly empty the
tank. If there are a few fruit trees of
the semi-dwarf or dwarf variety, the
small tank sprayer on two wheels will
answer, as it is easy to get about both
in the garden and orchard. OF course,
for the owner of an acre or more of
fruit, the power sprayer drawn by a
horse is needed.

THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
BRooDING CHICKS
A Good Start Is Half the Battle
]. w. KELLER

D. w.
The brooding period embraces that
portion of chicks life from the time
it is Matched until it is feathered and
ready for the colony house and is a most
important and vital period, for then is
laid the foundation of the future.
There are two methods OF brooding--
the natural, in which the hen supplies
the warmth and care, and the artificial.
In the natural brooding all that is nee
essary is a comfortable coop, not too
warm, roomy and free from drafts, kept
clean and sprayed literally with a good
liquid lice killer or, better still, poultry
disinfectant. Then, given proper feed,
the hen will do the rest.
Artificial brooders have two parts-a
hover which is warmed and supplies the
heat to the chicks, and a nursery or eX-
ercising room. In choosing a brooder,
select one that is well built, easily
cleaned and in which the heat is defect
ed downward on the chicks back. Avoid
bottom heat, which causes leg troubles.
Buy the brooder plenty large and do
not crowd the chicks. Keep it sweet and
clean and cover the floor with sand or
fine chopped alfalfa or clover.
Watch the Temperature
The temperature under the hover dur
ing the first week should be 90 degrees;
then gradually reduce the heat until it
reaches so degrees. The nursery should
be about 20 degrees. As much depends
on the lamp in a brooder, keep it well
filled, with clean burner and we'll
trimmed wick. Have a good tested Their
mometer, take the temperature from
near the floor, watching carefully, for
overheating or chilling chicks are equal
ly disastrous, and above all follow the
directions that come with the brooder.
After the first week or two, chicks
may be allowed to run about IN small
outdoor yard when the weather is clear
and mild, provided they can always re-
turn easily to the hover when they feel
cold. When the weather is bad, confine
them to the nursery and induce exercise
by scattering fine grain among the lit
ter.
The question of brooding large col
onies of several hundred chicks in a
small room or house by the use of brood
er stoves has attracted much attention
lately. These small coal or oil-burning
stoves with large cone-shaped metal
heat defeetors have been used for many
years in California and undoubtedly are
great labor savers. The fireless type OF
brooder, which depends on thick, soft
insulation to conserve the natural heat
of the chick, as we'll as portable hovers.

likely that there will be eight instead
of six teams in the circuit
At a meeting Of the league heads
in Philadelphia to-day the business
of the present season was closed and
that of next year was tentatively dis
cussed. Among other things which
the meeting brought to light is that
enough towns want to come into the

are that Atlantic City will be back in

Deaths and Funerals
\ TRIBUTE TO MRS. KUNKEL

All that was mortal of Mrs. Annie
Eager Kunkel, the devoted wife of
Samuel Kunkel, the well-knuwn bank
er and member of the Park Extension
Commission, will he laid at rest in
the Harrisburg Cemetery tomorrow
afternoon. But the fragrance of a
beautiful life will linger with those
near and dear to her for years to
come Mrs. Kunkel was the soul of
gentleness and devotion to her friends
was one of the strongest elements of a
fine character.
Those of the older choir of Zion Iu-
theran Church have not forgotten the
sweet, sympathetic voice that is now
stilled in this world. Her heart was
full of sympathy for those in distress
and her many acts of kindness have
marked the pathway of her earthly
pilgrimage and will guide many others
in following her footsteps.
Her giving was always quiet and
unostentatious and her love for her
friends was as enduring as the ele-
ments of her strong character. De-
voted to her husband and her home
she still found opportunity to scatter
the sunshine of her presence among
those who needed her sympathetic
visitations. Annie Eager Kunkel was
the type of woman who leaves the
world much better for her presence
here.

Hurry Concrete on
Wall and Steps to
Finish by Winter

With the favorable weather of the
present month the contractors on the
public work are expected to force their
undertakings TO the limit i'm order that
the concrete operations may he finish
ed before winter. There seems TO be
no doubt that the work on the dam
will be practically out of the way and
while there is considerable to be done
along the river front, the Sucker
Brothers Construction Company con-
fidently hope to get everything finish
ed to Maclay street before shutting
down.
Considerable comment is heard up
on the fact that hundreds of tons of
the best sort of fill along the outside
of the wall has not yet been utilized in
filling out the stretch between the
slope and the steps. This material
comprises stone, gravel and other mat
ter admirably suited for the purpose,
but 1t is expected that it will be utiliz-
ed in filling back of the steps between
the pumping station and Herr street
To-day the steam shovel was busy
on the space between the two ends of
the steps near Walnut street and the
Market street bridge. This fill is being
placed behind the wall north of Wal
nut street. There is still much stuff to
be removed along the low water line
and this work will have to be under
taken in the near future, if II is to be
finished before winter.
Foreman Williams will break the
record to-day on the construction of
the concrete steps of the river wall.
Heretofore the best record for one day
has been twelve. I'VE will put in ff-
teen to-day" said the foreman at
