RUBBER PLANT OIL.

The vegetable oil used in making
paper umbrellas In japan Is pressed
out Of the seeds Of the rubber plant.
This oil Is made IL the various Islands
famous for oil and seeds from these
plants. Sandy ground Is favored FOR
the cultivation of the plant and the
oil is extracted from the seeds by
presses. The yield, Of seeds Is esti-
mated at twenty bushels per acre. The
annual production throughout Japan
amounts to $4,000 bushels, from
which over gallon of oil per bushel
is extracted. The oil before it is used
is boiled and then cooled until 1t can
be applied by hand to umbrellas with
a piece Of cloth or waste. No machin-
cry or tools are used in applying tho
oil. When the oiling Is complete tho
umbrellas are exposed in the sun Tor
about FIVE hours. This oil Is also used
in making the Japanese lanterns. arti-
fetal leather, printing ink, lacquer,
varnishes. oil paper. and paints.

The only rational and sure way TO
get rid Of the fly is to prevent breed
ing-clean up. Next to keeping the
premises cleaned up, the most impor-
tant thing is to keep houses well
screened. Those that do get into the
home should be killed. 1t is especially
important to kill those that appear
early II, the season. One fly killed IN
spring means millions less In August.
The house fly breeds, usually IN
fresh manure. The more OF this waste
that Is allowed near the house, the
more will the dwelling be infested with
flies Not only do flies breed IN nltn'
but they have filthy habits. They are
distributors of disease germs OF all
kinds, including tuberculosis germs.
Extreme care should be taken, there
fore, to Destroy breeding places and
to keep flies out of the house.
After you have excluded Mr.. Fly
from your house next turn your at
tention to your garbage pail. This is
one Of the great breeding places for
perms of all sorts Don't be content
because the garbage man has emptied
YOUR pail. It must be cleaned: IT In
no other way, put few newspapers In
the bottom of It and burn them. Heat
is a simple disinfectant. If possible
pour a bit of creoline or an oil dis
infectant on the papers and place the
cover part. way over the pail. This
will rid your garbage pail of any
germs. Remember that only by SAM
tation can fevers and various other
diseases be prevented.

Hen Manure Good
For Potatoes

Our experience with hen manure
on potatoes last summer may be OF
interest to some. says F. w. briggs.
in Farm Poultry. We took our potato
patch. Just one-third Of an acre, and
covered II broadcast with moder-
ate coating OF hen manure that hao
been collected from tho droppinss
boards. This was all the dressing
the piece had. We planted our po-
tatoss, and the following week hosd

expended on the crop. except tho
labor OF digging and picking Tns
Drop from this ons-third acre was
just $50 bushels Of extra large
smooth potatoes, and ten bushels OF
small ones. Tho potatoes were OF
such excellent quality that they
brought I'VE cents per bushel moro
from ths Boston buyer than any other
potatoes in this locality. Tho piece
used was Of easy access from the Tree
range occupied by the pullets DURING
the summer. These pullsS assisted
materially in the crop. a. they Kept
the piece we'll cultivated" by their
scratching, and kept away or ate up
all the potato bugs: we did not use
an ounce of Paris green or Bordeaux
mixture. The crop Of Cat the rate Oh
$50 bushels to the acre was certainly
q rood one even for this state, ana
the expense wGs certainly the mini
mum. We think 1t Is q good Illus
tration Of the quick liberation Of plant
food from hon manure.

even a more difficult procedure than
screening a house against files. Tho
female fly, ready to lay. will try harder
to reach a good laying place than
flies do to reach q good feeding plaza
Nevertheless it can be accomplished.
The larva can be killed according to
the method Of Forbes. A barrel Of q
solution of sulphate Of iron, two
pounds to the gallon, Is kept In the

by the fact that at a recent state

400 farmers inspected an electric

Its operation.
Mr.. Perrill continues: THE COM

no more time. Under such circum-
stances the cost of electric lights will
be as close to nothing as it Is possible

Why Summer Spraying
| .-ais Practiced

BY summer spraying sis meant ap-
plications during the period Of foliage.
The work. II directed principally
against bud, leaf. and fruit eatins in
sects, and an arsenical ID chiefly used.
Contact insecticides, exclusively used
in dormant-tree spraying. are also en-
ployed in a dilute condition in the con-
troll Of certain insects, ~ aphideA pear
,psylla, leaf-hoppers, ETC., but by Tar
the largest part Of summer spraying
consists In the application Of arsen-
licals, either in water or more gener-
ally in Bordeaux mixture, effecting In
the latter case. combination treat
tments for fungoug and insect troubles.
Two arsenicals are chiefly used.
namely, paris green and farsenate OF
lead. The aim Ia to use these about
as strong az the Foliage will stand
without injury though well-made ar
senate Of lead may be used In unnec-
essarily large quantities without injury
to most plants. Tho foliage Of some
fruits. as apple, pear, ounce and grape.
is but rarely injured by effective
strengths OF Paris green, and perhaps
never by well-ff1ade arsenate Of lead.
But the foliage Of stone fruits. as
cherry, plum and peach. Is on the
whole quite tender. and arsenicals
must be employed with caution. Ar
senate Of lead is least likely to do
harm, though repeated applications Of
this poison especially to peach, may
cause shot-holing and dropping Of
leaves and burning of the fruit.
Summer spraying is perhaps more
practiced in the case Of the apple than
in that Of any other fruit, and because
of the importance Of the apple its
treatment deserves detailed considera-
ton.
The principal pests to be con-
trolled are cooling moth, the plum and
apple curculios. and the lesser apple
worm, which affect the fruit: and the
bud moth, canker worms and tent
caterpillars. which eat the foliage.
While these several pests exhibit in
dividual peculiarities in feeding, sys-
tenn Of spraying can be followed which
will greatly reduce them.
