From now until the end of Deem
Der is the best time for killing insects
IN orchards, though the work may be
continued during mild weather until
the buds begin to swell in the spring.
Many destructive insects are held in
check only by spraying during the
time when trees are dormant, as
stronger washes may be used then
than when the trees are in leaf. Many
in the egg, larval or pupal stage, and
are more easily destroyed then than
at any other time. All necessary
pruning should be done before the
spraying is begun, as the removal of
the surplus limbs and twigs makes the
spraying much easier, besides saving
material. Of course, the parts pruned
from the trees should be gathered and
burned at once, so as to destroy what
ever insects may happen to be on
them.
Lime-SuI phur Spray.
The spray which is now most widely
used for killing orchard insects is the
lime-sulphur combination. Full direc-
tons for making it can be secured
from every experiment station, and
where it is to be used in large guam
titles it is better to make it at home,
but where only a small quantity is
wanted for use on a home orchard it
is usually better to buy it, as it is now
sold by nearly all seed dealers. The
work requires spray pump, and these
may now be had in almost any size
from the So-called bucket pump suit
able for work on a few trees to the
large gasoline outfits employed in large
commercial orchards. The work must
be thorough to be effective, as it is
necessary to spray all parts of the
tree, the smaller limbs and branches
as we'll as the main trunk.
Effective Treatment.
The lime-Sulphur spray is very eff
fective in destroying most scale in
sects, and one application will usually
be sufficient, though the San Jose
sometimes requires several treatments.
The common oyster shell scale, the
cherry scale and several others are
easily held in check by single treat
ment. The treatment is also effective
against the pear-leaf blister mite,
which is usually present on pears and
which is often serious pest on ap-
pies. Several kinds of plant lice win

DIFFICULT JOB TO-
CHECK FIRE BLIGHT
Only Known Means of Controlling
Disease Is to Cut Out All
Affected Parts.

The only known means of checking
fire blight is to cut and burn all the
affected parts before the disease is
carried to the rest of the orchard by
bees and other insects, or has a
chance to spread through the twigs
themselves.
The pruning tools may carry the
germs if not carefully disinfected by
either dipping them into a 1 to 1000
solution of corrosive sublimate, or
wiping them with a rag or sponge
which has been dampened with such
a solution carried in a small bottle
for this purpose.
Corrosive SUblimate-alsO called BIZ
chloride of mercury-may be pur-
chased at any drug store in small bot
ties containing about 25 tablets apiece
with directions for dissolving and max
ing solutions of desired strength.

Mrs Secretan nodded an assent.
"You will find materials in the desk

Thanking her, Whitaker sat down.

lines:

QUEER LUCK

Did you ever have piece of
really good luck-for instance,
help from an entirely unexpected
source when you were in deep
trouble?
Luck, good or bad, is certain
~ on the trail of Hugh Whits-
ker. You remember, a corps of
eminent surgeons gave him just
six months to live. So he found
girl in trouble, married her to
save her good name and disap-
peared Immediately. Five years
later he reappearcd in New York
from Australia, happy, healthy
and prosperous, and started out
to find the little girl he married.
He discovers her when he goes
to the theater-she's Sara Law,
great actress. Mutual recogni-
ton across the footlights stops
the play and creates wild ex-
element among the audience.
What next occurs is told in this
instaIiment. Go to it,

ter in the eggs on apple trees, especial
ly on the young twigs. Many of these
will be killed by the spraying, though
it is often necessary to spray for them
second time, after the leaves come
out in the spring. Fortunately, the
spring treatment can be given with a
very weak mixture which will not in
jure the leaves. Where the winters
are mild, the wool apple louise often
lives on the trees through the winter,
especially around wounds where the
thin bark is exposed, but are killed by
the 'lime-sulphur.
Other Sprays Needed.
While this lime-sulphur spray, APP
piled in the fall or early winter, is
more effective than is any other one
treatment, still it does not kill all in
sects which affect the orchard. 1t has
little effect on the terrapin scale of
the peach, which should be sprayed
as mentioned above, a spring spraying
is often needed for the plant lice
which attack the apple.
Other Work Needed.
There is other work besides spray
ing which should he looked after
during the winter while there are no
leaves on the trees. The cOdfing moth,
the cause of wOrmy apples, passes the
winter in Silken cOcoOnS under scales
of bark, in crevices and in knotholes
in the trunk, and trees having rough
bark should be scraped with dull hoe
to destroy the hiding places. The tent
caterpillar passes the winter in clus-
tiers of eggs on the smaller limbs
where they are easily seen, and are
very easily seen while pruning. The
fall web-worm, which was such a pest
last summer, spends it's winter on
apple and other trees, and the flimsy
cocoon is easily recognized from the
hairs of the caterpillar mixed in with
the silk.
Look After Borers.
Peach and apple bOrers should be
looked after at once, as their presence
is quickly recognized by the borings
which they throw out of their holes.
Several grape insects winter among
the fallen leaves, which should be
raked and burned.
A little work in the orchard between
now and the end of December will
make great difference in the crop of
next year.

The church from whom we are
sprung, and to whose fostering care in
our early history we owe SO much, must
ever be dear to our hearts. We cannot
but rejoice in her prosperity and grieve
in her adversely. Her burdens and sor-
rows and losses must of necessity
weigh heavily on US also. We cannot
be unmoved when her heart is wrung
with anguish.
And so we ask her to accept this ut
teranCe of our love and sympathy in
this time of her trial. and beg to as
sure her that our prayers are con-
stantly ascending to Almighty God on
her behalf in humble supplication that
in this great fight of Affections she
may be endued with unfaiiing faith
and girded about with omnipotent
grace, and that the course of events
may be so ordered from on high that
she may soon enjoy once more the
