Death Of q Pioneer.

Nathan w. Findley, one of Owosso' g
pioneers, and at one time a familiar
figure on our streets. passed peacefully
away at the home of his daughter, Mrs.
B. l.. Whitney, southeast of Chesaning,
Saturday morning. April 18th, of old
age complications. He had been ailing
for more than year, and on several
occasions his life had bern despaired Of
MIR Findley was born at Litchfield,
Medina county. Ohio, Dec. ID, 1888,
and was the sole survivor of seven
children. He came with his parents to
Michigan in August, 1884, and lived in
log cabin on the banks of the Shia-
wassee river not far from where the
Central school building now stands.
When eleven years old he removed to
Six Mile Creek. where his father soon
after died Feb. 81 1852. The deceased
was married to Mary Jane Madison of
Fenton, and built 8 home on the
north shore of the Shiawassee on the
site where D. M. Estey afterward erect
ed his factory and store. In the spring
of 1854 the bridge across the river on
the town line of Rush and New Haven
was carried away by the flood and they
were left without communication with
neighbors, except by boat, 80 they sold
their home and removed to the farm
now occupied by B F. Walker.
Mr.. FindleY was drafted into the
army in '63. but on account of sickness
paid his forfeit, then when conditions
bettered he enlisted in Co. II 10th
Michigan Infantry, and served until
the end Of the war. When he returned
be found his family had been visited by
that dread disease, smallpox, and he
had lost his baby Loretta, another
daughter, had been left an invalid, with
eyesight permanently impaired and his
wifes health was in serious condition,
while he himself had incurred the loss
of an eye from infection, while in the
hospital at Lookout Mountain, Tenn.
In 1875 he was appointed mail carrier
between West Haven and Owosso, and
during D. NJ. Estey's soiourn at West
Haven, Mr.. Findley carried passengers
for eight years. Mate" Findley was
very important factor in the lives of
those who lived along the route, some
of them setting their clocks by the time
of his passing.
In March. 1887. Mrs. Findley died,
and the next year he removed to farm
on the Ditch road, three and half
miles southeast of Chesaning. where he
lived until FIVE years ago. Mr.. Findley
sold this farm and went to live with
his granddaughter, Mrs. q M. Swartz-
miller, and later, with his daughter,
Mrs. B. g. Whitney, at whose home he
passed away
Mr.. Findlev was the fother of six
children: Francis E, and Loretta E.,
who preceded him many years; Mary,
Eugene and Bertha e. of Chesanipg,
and Hiram L. of Owosso. Thirteen
grandchildren and seven great grand
children also survive.
Mr.. Findley was true type of the
pioneer. rugged aud self-reliant, honest,
industrious, upright in all his dealings,
making and keeping friends in every
walk of life; with a courage to face
adversely as well as prosperity, and was
always true and faithful friend and a
loving parent.
The funeral was held at the home of
his daughter, at 1890 Tuesday morn
ing, and at the West Haven church at
1890, Rev. Mr.. Seelye of Chesaning,
officiating.

When and How we Should Spray.

anyone VINO mas given the matter
any attention, realizes that it is not
possible to grow first.class fruit with
out spraying the tees. If one has not
demonstrated to his own satisfaction
that it will be profit able investment,
1t Is only necessary to experiment with
few trees; or, better yet, interview
any up to date grower, since all of them
are convinced from experience that
spraying pays as an investment and
practically insures a crop of fruit if
other conditions are favorable.
In order to secure satisfactory results
the proper materials must be used and
the work should be done in thorough
manner and at the right intervals
After the new growth has started it is
important that the leaves and fruit be
cover cd continuously with substances
which will prevent he attack of In
sects and diseases. For the most part,
the dangerous insects are those which
eat either the leaves or 1.-THE fruit and,
for all such pests, arsenate sof lead
should be used at the rate of 2 to 3
pounds of paste, or one half that am cunt
of the powder in 80 gallons of water
For the fupgous diseases of fruit
trees, such as the scab upon apples and
pears, the rot and leaf blight of plums
and cherries. and the leaf curl of the
mach comnarciol l;yno cuJpbur coli,
tion is the remedy preferred. 1t can be
used for apples and pears after the
growth has started at the rate of gal.
lon to so gallons greater hut gallon
to 80 gallons will be sufficient for
cherries and plums. Since the spray
ing for the leaf curl of the peach must
be done before the buds have swollen,
the strength may be increased to in
o. When used upon the foliage of
peaches and Japanese plums for the
prevention of brown.rot and leaf. blight
not more than quart of lime sulphur
should be used for so gallons of water,
but 2 pounds of -four of sulphur and
the same amount of hydrated lime
made into paste, should be added just
before it is used. the labor of spraying
is greatly reduced since it is possible to
combine the arsenate of lead with the
lime. sulphur solution.
The fret application should be made
as DON as the growth has started and
there is anything to spray, which will
be about the time the blossom buds
have developed 30 that the Individual
flowers may be seen. q This will be when
the flower buds are in "the pink"
The second application should be
given within week after tie petals
have fallen and the fruit has set; and a
third spraying can generally be given
to advantage two to three weeks later
just how many other applications msy
be made with profit will depend upon
the season, the prevalence of the insects
and fungi. as we'll as upon the varieties
of the fruit, some CT which require more
q tention than others. In some cases,
fourth application will be needed three
weeks after the third; and, for winter
varieties of apples, and for varieties of
plums and peaches that are subject to
the attack Of the brown. rot, one or
more applications in the early part of
August should be made.
