spray injury is perhaps one of the
most perplexing ones that has ever
come up in connection with the treat
ment Of the diseases of orchard fruits
and it is particularly significant in it's
relation to apple scab. The injury
has been attributed to various causes
and, among others, the strength of the
mixture.
There is perhaps no state in the
Union in which the question of dust
ing has been so thoroughly agitated
or in which spraying has met with
more opposition than in Missouri, and
for this Nthere are several reasons. In
orchards ranging from two hundred to
two thousand acres labor is a most
important factor. Consequently, in
the endeavor to meet the requirements
Of these conditions, efficiency has been
entirely neglected for convenience and
expediency. For these reasons ex-
periments to obtain data on the dust
process have been conducted with the
following result: Observations showed
that there was a difference of over
sc per cent of merchantable fruit in
favor of the sprayed plant when COM
pared with the busted plant and Of
over 73 per cent when compared with
the untreated plant. The reader must
decide for himself whether or not he
WI dust his trees, but it does not
seem advisable to recommend the use
of dust in apple orchards for any pur-
pose whatever, in view of the results
Of the observations made.

ATTEND TO LITTLE
DETAILS OF FARM
Care and Attention Now and
Then Is All That Is Needed
to Avoid Worries.

The little things on the farm have
much to do with the comfort and con-
tentment of the manager and his fam
lily. The neglect of the little things
torments the manager and greatly in
terferes with his peace of mind, says
Farm and Ranch. A leaky roof, a
broken gate, harness out of repair or
a bad fence may cause considerable
trouble and expense. A little care
and attention is all that is necessary
to avoid this trouble.
All difficulties and worries cannot
be anticipated in the numerous duties
that fall upon the manager but many
Of them can. It is possible and profit
able as we'll to keep up with repairs
and anticipate many Of the worries
and thus prevent them.
In no other business is good judg-
ment and clear thinking more essen
tial than In farming. The manager
above all men needs to think logically
and plan wisely and everything that
would interfere with his peace Of mind
should be eliminated II possible.
It is good plan to inspect the
fences, the buildings, the roads, etc.,
occasionally, and see that these are
kept in repair. The little things
should be carefully done and the
larger matters Will take care of them

A SimpIs Safety Device.

The hammer is useful tool, but It's
use is not quite free from danger to the
user or from injury to materials. The
fiat, highly polished surface is likely
to glance off the nail unless the blow
is squarely delivered, and when the
nail is Of cast metal its head often flies
of and infiicts quite severe injuries.
One firm, says Chambers Journal,
had innumerable accidents from this
cause, and some Of the men were per
manently injured. Thereupon the man
ayers tried hammer heads with scored
faces as an experiment Owing to the
success Of the experiment the polished
face hammer has been abolished In
that firms factory, except for special

Lunar RainboWs.

Lunar rainbOws are seldom OBJ
served in the temperate zone. Very
likely the physical phenomenon occurs
frequently but is invisible because of
the faintness of the moons light In
the tropics, where moonlight is more
intense, says the Scientific American,
lunar rainbows are more frequently
observed. They are by no means rare
at Reunion island. AT all places the
phenomenon is most frequently seen
at full moon when the moons light Is
highest, but it has been seen In vart-
Gus phases of the moon. 1t was first
observed by Aristotle A lunar rain
