FIND NEW MIXTURE
TO SPRAY PEACHES
Flour Of Sulphur, Hydrated Lime
and Ground Glue Is Favored
by New Jersey Man.

A peach spray that Is less disagree
able TO prepare than self-bolled lime
sulphur, and said to be cheaper than
some commercial sprays now being
used, is given in circular 90 from the
New Jersey experiment station, pre-
pared by Lawrence G. Gillian, exten-
sion specialist in fruit growing. Ac.
cordlng to Professor Gillian this new
mixture is promising spray for the
control of scab and brown rot and
gives excellent results when weather
conditions are favorable for the devel-
opment Of both diseases.
This new spray material Is made by
mixing eight pounds of fine flour, or
flowers Of sulphur, four pounds Of n.y.
drafted lime, one and one-half ounces
Of ground glue dissolved in three gal
Ions of water, and the whole diluted
with water to 90 gallons.
Put the sulphur and hydrnted lime
through fine sieve to eliminate any
Jumps. Dissolve the glue in a small
quantity Of hot water and dilute to
the necessary three gallons. "Place
the thoroughly mixed and sifted hy-
drafted lime and sulphur in a barrel
that will hold water. Add the glue
solution slowly, stirring the mixture
so that the grains of sulphur and lime
will become thoroughly coated with the
solution. After the glue solution has
been well stirred into the sulphur and
lime, add water slowly, stirring the
mixture continually until thin solu.
ton has been obtained which will pass

Could a Top Spin Forever?.

Friction helps to stop a top, but If
you spin top on u perfectly smooth
plate, so that there is very little fric-
ton, 1t will spin much longer; and If
you could spin it on a smooth plate
inside of something from which you
had taken away all the air, it would
not be difficult to get the top to spin
for hours, because things which havs
once started moving go on moving I'D.
til something stops them.
If the top could be spun where
there is no air ut all, and nothing hap.
pened to hinder the spinning, the top
would certainly so on forever. The
earth is like great wheel or ton
s"inning round and round in space,
but, as space is almost empty, and the
earth's air is part of the earth and
goes round with it, and as the earth is
not spinning on anything, as top
spins on a plate, the earth scarcely
slows down at all throughout the ages.

spray barrel or tank.
do not add any water until the
entire amount of glue solution has been
used, and the sulphur-llme mixture has
been thoroughly mOlstened; otherwise
the grains of sulphur and lime will not
go into suspension readily, forming
Jumps which may clog stralners and
noZZles.
~When arsenate Of lead Is to be ap-
piled In combination with this material,
it should be made into a thin solution
with water before 1t is added to the
diluted mixture"
The test made with this material last
year. on 800 Greensboro and Carman
peach trees, produced fruit practically
free from brown rot and scab, while
trees left unsprayed developed these
diseases. As result of the favorable
effects obtained last year the New Jer.
sey experiment station is recommend
ing this mixture for trial in the sum-
mer spraying of peaches.

Some Observations.

The reason so many people kill time
is because time never puts up holler.
There isn't much to the fellow who
doesn't get mad enough to fight once in
while.
To live decent life is not all that
is necessary; man can be decent and
not be particularly useful.
The bees have way of dealing with
the drones. When food gets scarce
they kick them out of the hive.
The man who thinks he knows it all
is always running into something that
wasn't in the book when he studied 1t.
OF all the foolish notions In the
world the notion that you can avoid
war by getting married is the foolish
est.

(From the United States Department of
Agriculture)
Grape insect enemies and diseases
may be controlled and good crop of
the berries practically assured if a
careful spraying schedule is carried
out, says A. L. Quaintance of the bu-
reau Of entomology, and G. L. Shear
of the bureau Of plant industry of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. Owners of small orchards. and
vineyards do not sufficiently appre-
ciate the fact, the specialists point out,
that by the expenditure of little time
and money large proportion of the
fruit may be saved, repaying many
times the trouble involved in it's pro-
lection.
The principal insect enemies Of the
grape are the grape berry moth, the
grape rootwOrm, the rose chafer the
grape leaf folder, and the eight-spotted
forester, all Of which are eating in
sects; and the grape leafhopper and
the brown grape aphis, sucking in
sectS. The principal diseases which
attack grapes are black rot, downy
mildew, powdery mildew, and an
thracnOSe.
The use of combination spray solu-
tionS containing chemicals which act
as insecticides or fungicides is advo-
Gated by the specialists. The follow
ing spray schedule is recommended:

Most Of the high cost Of living
comes from buying things we don't
need. If it wasn't for that we would
all live off the fat of the land, and the
rich and well-to-do would have enough
left to help other people and boost the
uplift of the city. If all the money
that society throws away on idle pleas
ures and needless things were redis-
tributed equitably among the people,
everybody would be living on lamb
chops, lima beans and pound cake |;
and the reflex action of such q situa-
ton would compensate the well-off for
the loss of their joyless pleasures. But
the old ideal Of the university seems
still to influence the people-'never to
veX at the lands ridiculous misuse"
1t wouldn't cost cent to have it 9TH
erwise, as long as our money goes in
to pleasures and trif1es. But take each
individual life and cut off the foolish
and needless things, and such one
would occupy the proud eminence Of
champion Of nobler things.-Ohio

ANY CORN LIFTS OUT,
DOESN'T HURT A BIT!
No foolishness! Lift your corns
and caIIuses off with fingers
It's like magicl

Sore corns, hard corns, soft corns or
any kind of corn, can harmlessly be
lifted right out with the fingers if you
apply upon the corn a few drops Of
freezone, says q Cincinnati authority.
For little cost one can get small
bottle Of freezone at any drug store,
which will positively rid ones feet Of
every corn or callus without pain.
This simple drug dries the moment
it is applied and does not even irrj.
tate the surrounding skin while ap-
plying it or afterwards.
This announcement will interest
many Of our readers. If your druggist
hasn't any freezone tell him to surely
get small bottle for you from his

Here's Your Hat, Stay Awhile.

1t is the Nunc 'Dimittis-the art of
the peaceful departure. To know when
to go, and how to let go after mine
eyes have Seen"-yes, that is fine
art, indeed. Learn the art Of termin-
al facility and save a world of apol-
ogies and regrets afterward. Learn
not to linger over anything-even a
telephone. Long conversations, long
explanations, long letters, long fare
wells, long prayers in public, sermons
or speeches, and long-spun-out stories
pray avoid them. Come to the point
on time. Depart gracefully. Peace
will then pursue you. Leave wish
and longing because you have gone.
Learn to let go of little things today
and you will be ready to decide quick
ly at tomorrow's crisis, and TO de-

small and isolated outpost Of the Bit
ish empire. 1t is the island nearest to
the Central American coast among

MOONS EFFECTS NOT KNOWN
May Be Key to Sleep Walking and
Kindred Disorders, Declares
Writer In Medical journal.

All persons In all times have seen
an intimate connection between the
moon and fruitfulnesS, both animal
and vegetable.
"Even nOw," says the New York
Medical Journal, "the onions which
come to our city market owe their ex-
cellence to the farmers careful con-
junction of planting time with the
phases of the moon."
Such ideas have been so universal
that mans unconscious mind still pre-
serves them, though his judgment may
scorn them as absurd.
Doctor Sadger Of Vienna cites cases
of somnambulists who "under the influ-
ence of moonlight are recalled to times
and scenes of active childish wishes.
The moon calls them in deep sleep to
act out dream wishes"
The Medical Journal suggests that
the key to sleep walking and other
kindred disorders of childhood and
late life may be found in moon-lore.

SERIOUS PEST OF THE ONION
Eggs Of Magsot Are Laid on Tops and
Grub Works Way Into Bulb
Some Ways Of Control.

The grub which attacks your onions
is the onion maggot, which is prob
ably the most serious pest of the
onion.
The eggs Of this insect are laid on
the tops and the grub works Its way
down into the bulb. Practical means
of control are wanting. On small
patches the use of carbolic acid emul-
sion has proved efficient. Liberal
amounts of tobacco dust spread along
the rows has proven a fairly good
deterrent.
The most practical way of Kidding
the onions of this pest is to make the
new planting as far removed from the
old one as possible.

Summer Dishes.

Delicious as the cucumber is to the
palate it has little nourishment. Its
value lies in its mineral salts, Cellu-

water content. The salad dressing or
sauce with which the vegetable is
served does make it nourishing dish.
The bitter principle even when not
pronounced is especially good for the
complexion taken inside or out. Gu
cumbers peeled and cut in half length

as vegetable. After being parboiled
they may be dipped in egg and crumbs
and fried. They are also well liked as
