BILE, all sources of infection. Many dis
eases, as, for example, pear blight
and peach-yellows. can be kept In
check by destroying diseased plants
or parts Of plants as soon as the
trouble is noticed. Wild plants which
can harbor and propagate plant dis
eases should be destroyed. Volunteer
apple trees growing near the orchard
are a constant source OF trouble to
the owner. Thorough and intelligent
spraying will reduce the injury arising
from most plant diseases to the min
imum.
The same principle applies in large
measure to the treatment Of injurious
insects. Study the habits and prevent,
as far as possible, conditions favorable
to their propagation or wintering over
from one season to another In treat
ing injurious insects and their destruc-
ton by sprays, we may divide them
into two classes: those which chew
their food, and those which obtain
their food by sucking the juices from
the plants. Nearly all insects of the
former class are easily destroyed by
some form Of stomach poison. while
the latter can be killed only by Q
contact insecticide.
Many people fear danger from pois-
oning by eating sprayed fruit and
plants. II Ia not advisable to spray
plants and fruits with arsenical pois-
ons shortly before using them. but
there Is no danger from fungicides.
Analyses in the chemical laboratory
at the New York experiment station

The warfare against plant diseases
and insects varies SO much with the
different conditions OF climate, soil,
ETC., that no hard and fast rule can
be laid down as to the number of times
to spray. nor as to the time Of spray
ing.
The spraying should be thorough,
and yet one should avoid using more
than enough to cover trees or foliage
well. In spraying, 1t always pays to
have a good outfit. The pump should
be large and powerful enough to give
sufficient pressure for the proper
working of the nozzle. The cylinder.

The rural press. the pulpit and the

They are local forces working for

HORSES WILL BE WORTH GOOD
MONEY

When we remember the effect
the Boer war had on prices for
horses IL is not unwarrantable In
predict, says the Missouri Valley
Farmer. that good horses will bring
very high prices within the next
year. All advices from Europe
agree that the mortality among the
horses used in the war is higher
than in any other war in history.
Sometimes every horse in a regi-
ment is killed. One cavalry officer
is quoted as saying he had to have
a new mount every four days, as at
the end of that time a horse was
either worn out and unfit for further
service or had been hit.
