INJURY BY THE PEAR PSYLLA
Little Larvae or Nymphs Suck Juices
From Young Leaves and Twiss
Crop Is Lessened.

(From the New York Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station, Geneva, n. -
The presence of the psylla in in
furious numbers upon tree is usual
ly indicated by an abundance of
waterish, sticky liquid, called honey
dew, which may be first detected dur
ing the latter part Of May or early IN
June at the axis Of the leaves ana
fruits. This liquid later becomes COW
cred with a black mold, which gives
the trees a backish unsightly appear
ance. Certain ants and flies are very
fond Of the honey dew, and are often
attracted by it in numbers to infested
trees. The presence Of these insects
upon a pear tree should arouse the
suspicious of careful, observing Or
chardist.
The adult psylla is an active four
winged insect, measuring about one
tenth of an inch in length. They ap-
pear early in the spring and deposit
their eggs in protected places in the
bark. The eggs hatch in a few days
and the little larvae or nymphs at
once commence to suck the juices
from the young leaves and twigs. A
favorite place for the young nymphs

is in the axis of the leaves and at
the base of the fruit stems. Within
two or three days after Matching they
cover themselves with honey dew
which finally becomes so abundant as
to disfigure leaves and fruits. The
whole tree assumes stunted, I'M
healthy appearance. AS a result the
fruit crop is greatly lessened and In
some cases trees have been killed.
The young nymphs are most easily
reached when the leaves are unfolding
in the spring. AS soon as found spray
the trees thoroughly with kerosene
emulsion, diluted with about ten parts
of water or with solution of whale
oil soap, one pound to four or six gal
Ions of water, or with nicotine prep
aration easily made. The secret
of success In fighting this insect is
early and thorough spraying. 1t may
be necessary to make two or three
applications at intervals Of three or
four days to successfully control the
pest.

DERIVED FROM RARE EARTHS
Where Some of the Most Valuable
Metals Known Have Been Dis
covered by Scientists.

Rare earths are the oxides of such
metals as thorium, cerium, titanlum,
chromium, tantalum, niobium, tung-
stem, uranium and yanadium. The
most common and familiar uses Of
these metals are: For thorium and
cerium in the making of gas nantes,
and for tungsten in the making OF in
candescent lamps. Tungsten, to-
gether with vanadium, is also used in
making certain kinds Of steel. Thori'
UNI, or one of it's compounds, is used
extensively in searchlights, motor car
headlights, and in fiashlight powders.
Cerium alleged with certain metals
makes the flaming alloy used in cigar
and gas lighters and to trace the flight
of artillery shells. The same metal,
or one of it's salts, is used in pho
Biography, in dyeing leather and for
coloring glass. Titanium al!oyed with
iron is often used to purify steel, cast
iron and cast copper. Zirconium oxide
makes crucibles and similar vessels
that, even when brought to white
heat, can be plunged into cold water
without cracking. Tantalum makes
surgical and dental instruments that
will not rust and that can be sharp
ened like steel and sterilized by in
tense heat. Nine-tenths Of the tung-
stem and the vanadium produced Is
used in making steel.

DUTIES OF uUs SOLDIERS
Strenuous Training and Discipline at
the Army Posts Teach Men Love
of Country.

A soldiers day is from the first note
of reyeille to the last note of retreat, a
writer in the National Magazine OBJ
serves. In the gray light Of daybreak
the bugle calls him from sleep. From
that moment until retreat sounds at
sunset the day is one Of strict routine
and discipline.
A rough outline of routine day at
Fort Myer is: Rise, roll call, break
fast, groom horses, fall in line for drill,
which lasts several hours or until time
for the MONDAY dinner. For the after
noon there are various designated du
ties for officers and men, which may
include attendance at lectures, or dem
onstration work, board meetings, court
martial, training for extra drills, at
tendance at military funerals and
other services, either obligatory or vol
untary. At sunset again comes roll
call, followed by one Of the most i'm
pressive ceremonies OF the day.
The r ,crs assemble, facing the col
ors; the band plays the Star Spangled
Banner rs the colors are slowly low
cred, every man standing at attention
till they reach the ground The sunset
gun booms across the field; the bugle
sounds retreat, and the garrison work
day is over.
The strenuous routine and spirit of
patriotism that perTades post life

what keeps most VI US il debt.
1t is far better to have less preten

"There's MANY a Slip"

Few, probably, know the history OF
There's many a slip 'twiXt the cup
and the lip" which is translation or
a Greek proverb. Ancaeus, an an
Gent king Of Samos, was fond OF
gardening, and planted some vines in
his garden. But he was told by a
prophet that he would never taste
wine from them.
Time went, and the wine being duly
made, Ancaeus was lifting a cup Of
it to his lips, at the same time asking
the prophet mockingly where his
prophecy was now. There's many
t:..ngs between the cup and lip" re-
piled the prophet. AS he spoke loud
tumult was heard outside, and An
caeus was told that wild boar had
broken in. Hurriedly putting the cup
down without drinking, he rushed
out to join the hunt against the boar,
and was killed. And the prophets re-
mark, turned into a hexameter verse,
passed into proyerb.

Moisten the tools in crude oil. Stir

KNEW WHERE Gle WAS AT"
Postum, However, Was Unable to Tell
of His Whereabouts, to Employer

When the late Robert Aull was park
commissioner there was a negro boy
called Postum who helped around the
boathouse in Forest Park lake. Pos
sum was a mighty hunter and fisher
man, and those qualities appealed to
Colonel Aull Sometimes Colonel Aull
and Postum took lanterns at night and
caught mess of frogs in Forest Park.
Postum had a falsetto voice and a

might like to gig and he called him up
at the city hall.

said: There's a lady on the phone

CAPSULES for Oiiino Machinery.


The operation OF oiling machinery,
especially where it is desirable that
the oil should be kept from the hands
and clothing of the operator, has been
devised recently in making use of col
lapsible lead capsules, widely used for
artists colors, druggists products,
paste, ETC., in the United States. The
capsules are provided with a screw
thread, which is screwed into an adapt
er, which in turn is fastened to the
part to be fabricated. The lead cap
sule and the brass adapter make a
tetsglt1t joint, and all that is necessary is
to apply pressure from time to time,
as desired. When the grease capsule
is emptied, one merely unscrews it
and puts a new one in its place. No
reflling is necessary, and the pressure
of the fingers is usually sufficient tr
force the grease into the bearing.

SEED BED FOR VEGETABLES
Pile Weeds, Cornstalks, Brush and
Odd Pieces on Spot and Then Set
Fire to Heap.

In forming a bed for tomato, cab
bage or other plants that will be trans
planted, a fine plan is to choose a shell
tered, south-side spot; pile weeds,
cornstalks, brush and odd chunks OF
wood on it, and set fire to the heap.
When the fire dies down, take the
spade and turn up the ground where
the fire was built. This thoroughly
mixes the ashes from the fire with the
soil, fertilizing it, while the heat of the
fire destroys many insects, worms,
etc., together with their eggs, in that
particular spot.
AS soon as the ground is cooled OF
sufficiently, sprinkle the seeds lightly
over the surface Of the bed, draw the
rake over the dirt few times, and
carefully spread some fine brush
across it, to prevent the birds and
chickens from damaging the bed. On
nights when the temperature seems
to foretell frost, toss some straw or
hay ever the bed, or spread an old
blanket or carpet over it.

Front and End View.

in building materials, which has many
points to commend it to the average
farmer.
The row of windows at the top eX-
tending the full length of the building
is a feature worthy of attention,
writes H. H. Gould in Farmer and
Breeder There is no better disin-
fectant for hoghouse, no more eff
cient destroyer of disease germs
known, than plenty of bright sunlight.
Plenty of sunshine is better and
cheaper than buying medicine for the
hogs.
Fresh air is also an essential fea-
ture of any well-constructed hoghouse.
Every farmer knows how soon the air
in the ordinary pig shed becomes foul
when filled with hogs. Hence to in
sure healthy hogs some provision for
ventilation must be made. This is
provided for in the plans shown by
the four ventilators, two on each side,
in addition to the ventilation secured
from the side windows and doors.
These ventilators are especially valu-
able during the cold weather in the
winter when the doors and windows
are closed for protection from the
cold.
The outside dimensions Of this house
are % by &c feet. 1t contains ten sep
arate pens each 6 feet 7 inches by Z
feet 9 inches in the clear, with an
alley 4 feet 8 inches wide running the
full length of the building between
the two rows of pens.
There is an outside door at each end
of the alley. Then a door opens out.
ward into the alley from each pen, so
that the hogs may be separated and
shipped from one pen to another with
convenience inside the building.
Each pen is also supplied with an
outside door so that separate runs o.
yards may be built on the outside for
each. In decent weather this door
could be left open so that the pigs
could have the use of the outside run
and inside shelter at will.
Such a house is especially adapted
for brood sows during the narrowing
season. Each SOW and litter can be
provided with separate pen and out
side run, until the pigs are old enough
to be together in large lot. The i'll

CARE FOR THE BLACKBERRY
Crop Is Profitable If Rust Does Not
Attack Canes-They Must Be
Well Cultivated.

Blackberries are profitable If rust
does not attack the canes. There
seems to be no cure for rust. Set the
plants 4 By and give deep culture.
Blackberries do best on lightish
and rather sandy soil. They must be
planted in rows and kept well cult
waited.
The pruning Of the blackberry is diff
ferent from that of most other small
fruits. If you cut back the canes
severely you are likely to remove a
large portion of the seasons crop. But
you can thin out the shoots where they
are numerous, and cut out the dead
shoots.
