HUNTING NOTES

A South Paris hunter had an expert

kind which is likely to make man
curse the day he was born, says the
oxford Democrat. With a rife in his
hands which was new last year he got
beautiful shot at handsome buck.

er until the magazine was empty. and
not one Of them went As if that was
not enough, he later repeated the same
performance, and still not a cartridge
responded. Whereupon in his wrath.
as is sometimes the way of man. he
hurled the offending gun at a stump
with all his might, and came near put
ting it entirely out of commission.
Then he very properly went and
picked it up and carried it back to
camp. An examination Of the gun
with a glass showed that little chip
of something had got into it so that it
held the hammer from striking the
firing pin hard enough to explode the
cartridge.

of commercial treaties Switzerland was
unable to prevent the transportation
across her territory Of enormous guam
titles of merchandise that Italy sent
to Germany in exchange for coal before
she declared war on Austria. The in

these importations for the first quarter
of 1915 were 60 million francs

EXPERIMENTS With ARSENATE
or LEAD WITH APPLE SCAB

Orono. Me. Dee. 3.-(SpecaD The
following was made public today by
Director Charles b. Woods of the Maine
Agricultural Experiment station at the
University of Maine: ,
Arsenate of lead is widely used upon
apple trees as an insecticide for chew
ing insects. Somewhat unexpectedly, in
connection with some spraying expert
h1ents at Highmoor Farm, the pathclog
of the Maine Agricultural Experiment
Station secured evidence indicating that
ii also apparently possesses considerable
value a funGicde in preventing apple
scab. Since that time definite expert
ments with arsenate of lead, the results
OF which have been reported from time
to time, have been carried on in connec-
ton with the other spraying experiments
al the farm. The object has been to de-
ternine the value of this apparent dis
covery, if any. and more especially to
see if the use Of arsenate of lead as a
fungicde as well as an insecticide would
suggest any notifications or improve
ments of existing spraying l.cthods. The
data for lN5 have now been completed
and tabulated.
The combined results Of experiments
covering four successive years show quite
conclusiveiy that this well known insectl-
eide has considerable fungicidal value as
a preventive of apple scab. The paste
arsenate of lead was used in the earlier
ay periments but recently the dry or pow
dered form has been substituted. one
mound of the latter being equal to about
TWO pounds of the former. Many or
chardists use about the equivalent of
one and one-half pounds of the powder
three pounds of the pastel to each %
gallons of summer strength lime-sulphUr
i. the combined spray. In the Highmoor
experiments no trouble has been expert
enced in controlling chewing insects with
one pound of the powder in 30 gallons OF
li,ne-sulphur. In these experiments where
arsenate of lead has been applied alone
for scab no attempt has been made 10
use it stronger than two pounds Cd the
powder to 80 gallons of water.
Seasonal conditions have been such
that scab did not develop sufficiently TO
give every year as rigorous test as
MIGHT he desired However in 1913 nearly
20 per cent of the apples on the un-
snraved plot were scabby. Almost per-
foot control was obtained where the plot

of DRY arsenate of lead in 80 gallons OF

the difference between canning and
