APHIS SPRAY

The following is the cheapest and
most efficient aphis spray we have ever
used: Rock lime, pounds; "Black
Leaf 40" pint; water, 200 gallons;
pressure 200 to $50 pounds.
Take a pounds Of rock lime and slack
1T and then put that with / pint of
BLACK Leaf 40" in a 200-gallon tank
Of water. Apply this with plenty of
power.
Arsenate Of Lead for cooling moth
can be added to this spray, but it
should not be allowed to stand over
night in the tank.
The apple crop for the Northwest
and also for the United States is short
this year.
The aphis is showing up in some Sec
lions very badly. Trees free from
aphis produce more marketable and a
larger percentage of extra fancy fruit
than trees infested with aphis.

CARRIER PIGEONS.
Messages They Carry Are Packed In
Small Goose Quilts.

Messages They Carry Are Packed In
Small Goose Quilts.
The general notion that all that has
to be done in forwarding dispatch by
pigeons is to catch the bird, tie a let
ter to its leg and then liberate it is
wrong, as the method of attaching the
message Is of great Importance.
Prior to the siege of Paris the meth
cd of affixing the message to the bird
had not received that attention which
1t demanded, and consequently many
dispatches were lost in transit.
At first the message was merely
rolled up tightly, waxed over to pro-
tect it from the weather and then at
tached to feather in the birds tail
But it was soon found that the Irvine
which kept the missive in place cut or
damaged the paper, and therefore in
order to prevent it from being pecked
by the pigeon and from being injured
by wet the dispatch was inserted in
small goosequill two inches in length.
The quill was then pierced close to
each end with redhot bodkin, so as
not to split it, and in the holes waxed
silk threads were inserted to affix it to
the strongest tail feather. By attach
ing the message to this part of the
birds body its flight was not in any
way interfered with.-Lone Scout

In endurance and speed the Aus.
tralian aborigine is not the equal of
the American Indian, and his weapons

as hunter The native Australian is
marvelously adjusted to his environ

knowledge of the habits of animals on

water, and his wonderfully developed
powers Of observation.
He decoys pelicans by Initiating their
cries, catches ducks by diving below
them, locates an opossum I'm a tree by
marks on the bark or by the flight of
mosquitoes, finds snakes by observing
the action of birds and follows a bee

grass falls an easy prey to the black
fellow. Children are taught to track
Lizards and snakes over bare rocks and

strays from home the final resort is to
secure "black tracker."-National

Hunting tho Emu.

The natives of Australia are ingen-
ious. A black on discovering emus
feeding on plain will cover his back
and head with an emu skin, allowing
it to hang down well on the side to-
ward the unsuspecting birds. In his
right hand he will carry hidden by the
skin a boomerang and one or two
throwing sticks or "waddies." Then
his left arm will protrude beyond the
skin straight out to the elbow, and the
forearm will be bent up, with the hand
at right angles to 1t, thereby making a
capital imitation Of an emu's head and
neck. Now and then his hand or head
will be brought to the ground as IL for
feeding, and as the black walks along
he initiates every motion Of the bird
while at the same time by means Of
the big toe he draws spear along the
ground. He proceeds thus until close
enough to spear his bird.

DO YOU REALLY KNOW
 WHAT YOUR ASSETS ARE?

In story printed in the July American Magazine, an auditor says to friend:
 You. admit that you, as a busi- ress, with your $1.60 cash, and your coal, and your furniture, and your wife, and your children are worth $26O,000, and then you say S2,0S0 is enough income to expect from the lot! About eight tenths of one per cent per annum! And they ought to bring you four per cent at least-ten thousand dollars.
 "Dix opened and closed the blue covered document.
 "'You mean-you mean I ought to be earning ten thousand dollars . year?' he faltered.
 "'You and your family are one con- cern-one business. said Markley You are the business manager. Your assets are $250,000. If assets can't earn four per cent they are not worth having. It looks to me as if it was up to you, Dix Long. It looks to me as if you had said to yourself: 'I and my family are one-horse concern; the family is no good, and Pm not much better. I'm the only decent asset and I'm cheap and my family is cheaper. I'm getting $2,080 a year and I ought to be glad I'm getting it Il doubt I'm worth Tit ."
