PERSUASIVE ORATORY.
A Case Where Sound Had More Real
Effect Than Sense.

An Irish boss several years ago was
sent up to McKeesport to manage a
few hundred Italian laborers in the
breaking of new branch railway.
Word had been sent ahead to have a
big meal ready for the laborers on
their arrival. The only available
place was large stable near the
scene of intended operations. The
meal was ready when the Italians ar
rived, but they would not eat In the
stable. The boss came on the scene
during the dispute and called the In
terpreter.

"Men no eat in stable" answered
the interpreter.
"Sind your pack Of nobility over

None could understand English
among the laborers, but they crowded
around the boss, who had climbed to
a hillock. The Mark Antony Of the

PRUNING APPLE TREES.

Here are a few good general rules To
follow I'm the pruning of apple trees:
Always make cuts as close as pOaol
bic, leaving no stubs.
Remove all dead and badly cankerU0
branches.
Do not remove the fruit spurs.
Remove all water sprouts unless
needed to fill in open places.
Prune trees annually and distribute
pruning over entire tree.
Keep all parts of the tree open
enough to admit sunlight.
Prune during the dormant season,
preferably during the late winter and
early spring.
Paint all wounds two inches or lar
ger with white lead and raw linseed
oil. Avoid ready mixed paints.
Do not allow professional primer In
your orchard unless he can get rec
smmendation from some absolutely re-
liable authority.-New Hampshire Sta
ion.

GREEN BUGS IN KANSAS.
They Are Causing Great Damage to
Oats and Wheat.

Southern Kansas farmers In districts
where green bugs have invaded the
fields and the oats have been ruined
are urged to starve out the pests by
pasturing, and subsequently plant
fields to feterita or Sudan grass.
l.. e. Call, professor Of agrOnomy in
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
who has investigated conditions, re-
ports that the ravages by the insects
have been severe in Sumner, Harper,
to some extent In Cowley county and
in north central Oklahoma. Oats prac-
tically have been destroyed in the pOr-
ton of Oklahoma mentioned and in
the eastern and southern parts of Sum-
ner county.
Wheat has been damaged, but not
destroyed. Even the corn has been
attacked and by a sufficient number of
bugs to ruin the crop. The insects
were found as far north as Salina, but
not In large enough numbers to cause
alarm. Serious infestation is not eX-
pected to become general in Kansas
unless dry weather should prevail
Heavy rains in southern Kansas would
tend to destroy the bugs and benefit
the crops.
"Replanting now is simply adding
feed for the green bugs" says Profess
scr Call. "Where oats have been dam
aged beyond recovery pasture the
fields and thus reduce the available
food supply for the pests. After this is
done the ground either should be plOw-
ed or listed. depending upon the crop
to be planted later. 1t is preferable to
plow, as this will turn under green
bugs and will leave no food for addi-
tlonal insects.
"The ground should be kept in good
condition, but no crop should be plant
ed until the bugs have been starved
out or have been brought under con-
troll by the parasitic insects that usu-
ally hold the green bugs in check.
When the bugs have disappeared it
will be too late to plant corn or such
late maturing sorghums as Kaffir. 1t
probably will be advisable to depend
upon early maturing crops, such as fe-
terita for grain and Sudan grass for
hay.
"Feterita could be planted safely as
late as the middle Of June and mature
a crop Of grain in a normal season.
Sudan grass could be planted July l or
even two weeks later. Plant as soon
as possible after the disappearance Of
the green bug"

King of England and France.

In the first year of the nineteenth
century the king of England still bore
the title of king of France. 1t was on
Nov. 5, 1900, that the privy council, in
consequence of the Irish union, decid-
ed that the royal style and title should
be changed from George ILL.,, by the
grace Of God, Of Great Britain France
and Ireland, King, Defender of the
Faith" to George ILL.,, by the grace
of God, of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland, King, De-
fender of the Faith" The abandon
ment of the title of king Of France
led to Englands foreign official CORE
spondence being carried on in English
instead of French.-London Spectator.

especially susceptible to attack. This
insect resembles somewhat long mar
row oyster shell, under which the eggs
are concealed. These hatch at varying
times, but usually through the months
of April, May and June.
The Scurfy scale IS especially COM
mon on apple, pear, cherry and peach
trees. 1t is less widely distributed
than the oyster shell and Is regarded
as less harmful.
Where orchards are pruned and
sprayed regularly for the San Jose
scale during the dormant period no ad-
ditional measures for protection against
the oyster shell and scurfy scale are
usually necessary. Additional spray
ing, however. may be needed if an
abundance of young scales hatch in the
spring. These may be killed by kero
sene emulsion or other contact sprays
Infested trees should be carefully
watched during the spring and early
summer In order to discover the insects
as soon as they hatch and to apply the
spray at once.
Following are directions for making
the kerosene emulsion and the lime
sulphur mixture used for spraying for
San Jose scale, as well as for the oys-
ter shell and scurfy scale.
Kerosene emulsion is made after the
following formula: Kerosene (coal Oil.
lamp OLD, two gallons; fish oil or laun-
dry soap Tor quart Of soft soap, half
a DOund: water one gallon
First dissolve the soap In boiling wa
ter, then remove the vessel from the
fire. Immediately add the kerosene
and thoroughly agitate the mixture
until creamy solution results. The
stock emulsion may be more convent
emily made by pouring the mixture
into the tank Of a spray pump and
pumping the liquid through the nozzle
back into the tank for some minutes.
The stock solution, If well made, will
keep for some months and is to be
diluted before use. To make 10 per
cent spray (the strength for trees In
foliage) add to each gallon of the stock
solution about five and two-thirds gal
Ions of water. For 20 aid % per cent
NlOE use Ol trees
and plants, use respectively about
two and a third and and one and two
thirds gallons Of water for each gallon
Of stock emulsion. Agitate the mix
ture In all cases, after adding the wa
ter The preparation Of the emulsion
will be simplified by the use of naph-
tina soap. No heat will be required,
as the kerosene will combine readily
with the naphtha soap in water when
thoroughly agitated. Double the guam
tity of naphtha soap given in the above
formula, however, will be required,
and soft or rain water should be used
IN making the emulsion. In regions
where the water Is hard" this should
first be broken with little caustic
potash or soda, as common lye, before
use for dilution to prevent the soap
from combining with the lime or mag
nesia present, thus liberating some of
the kerosene. or rainwater may he en-
ployed.
A good lime-sulphur wash may be
made for immediate use by the follow.
ing formula:
Stone lime. 20 pounds; sulphur (flour
or fiowers), Is pounds; water to make
30 gallons

These two scales frequently kill indi-

They winter in the egg stage under

reason are less susceptible to washes
