MORE MEN THAN WOMEN
HAVE APPENDICITIS

Surgeons state men are slightly more
subject to appendicitis than women
Clio people should know that a few
doses of simple buckthorn bark, glycer-
inc, etc, as mixed in Adler-i-ka, often
relieve or prevent appendicitis. This
mixture removes such surprising foul
matter that ONE SPOONFUL relieves
almost ANY CASE constipation, sour
stomach or gas. The INSTANT, easy
action of Adler-i-ka is surprising. E.

A ton Of clover contains an amount

to the soil. Since on the average soil
the nitrogen In that part Of the clover

From now until the end Of Deem
Der 10 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
insects spend the winter on the trees
In the egg. larval or pupal stage. and
are more easily destroyed then than
1t 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 easter. besides saving
material. OF course, the parts pruned
from the trees should be gathered and
burned at once, 50 as to destroy what
ever insects may happen to be- on
them.
Lime sulphur spray.
The spray which is now most widely
used for killing orchard insects is the
time-sulphur combination. Full direc-
lions for making 1t can be secured
from every experiment station, and
where 1t Is to be used in large guam
titles 1t IL better to make 1t at home,
but where only small quantity is
wanted for use ON a home orchard 1t
Is usually better to buy 1t, a. 1t 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 Q few trees to the
large gasoline outfits employed in large
commercial orchards. The work must
be thorough to be effective. as it is
accessory to spray all parts Of the
tree. the smaller limbs and branches
a. well as the main trunk.
Effective Treatment.
The lime-sulphur spray il very ef-
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 a single treat
ment. The treatment il also effective
against the pear-leaf blister mite.
which II usually present on pears and
which Is often serious pest on ap-
pies. Several kinds Of plant lice win
