An Important Spray

Like the early bird, the fruit grower should also
get the first worm. Letting the very first worms get
away because of lack of sufficient number OF early
spray coverages is what causes most OF the damage
bv the second brood. Fighting the second Droou
causes the residue problem. Therefore II pays 10
nut part if not all of the sprays to fight the second
brood on the first brood control.
There is never enough spray the foliage at the
time the first worm should be controlled because 1t
takes two to three sprays to develop maximum
arsenical load that will control and such mas never
obtained with present practice. This appnes more
in sections of RAINFALL where rains help remove
sprays.
The temperature that brings out the blossoms Is also
the temnerature that starts to bring out worms Inc
most vigorous ones first, and few OF these very
early vigorous worms get away unaWares' some
seasons will be worse than others for this
In order to obtain maximum load OF arsenic TO
control the earliest extra spray should De
anplied about one week following the petal 1all
spray which spray is just as important as cover
as for the calyx This petal fall spray starts
to buid ND the spray load and it should be tortlned
ouickly with another spray to reach the maximum
load reoured to kill Each application always washes
off mart of the former until the third appncauon
is annlied when the maximum load is reached Have
the maximum load of arsenic the leaves early anu
keen it there waiting for the worms.
IT s lust as important to thoroughly spray under
meath the leaves as the outside, practice not gen
orally followed.

FLUXIT For Nicotine
Sprays

FLUXIT in nicotine sprays is highly valuable. It
instantly develops nicotine gas that fumigates the
aphis in the curded leaves where sprays don't reach
The spray when dry causes a small per cent of the
nicotine to last for weeks for better protection
FLUXIT vets the aphis completely and is by far the
cheapest activator for nicotine sprays.

A Bloom Coverage

The FIUXIT Spray Coverage is lkened to the nat
1ro1 bloom nowder on fruits like that on grapes
nurple piums, and blue permain apples which rains
and winds do not remove but which on signC g
touch is easily removed. The microscopic particles
of dusty bloom cling to the fruit ideally tLUAII
duplicates this, natures principle of protective Gov
erage and is easily removed and leaves no resluue
problem.

Controlling the First Brood

1t is easy to say control the first brood and there
will be no second brood However, such is not at all
impossible now where FLUXIT is used in the arse
nate spray because of the better protection afforded
Entomoogists show that 500 of the of the first
brood of codling moth laid the leaves, hence
the Matched lava must crawl to the apple to feed.
This is reversed with the second brood when 800
of the eggs are laid the apples and such lava have
no crawling to do before starting to feed therefore,
the damage is greater by the second brood as also
because of the much greater increase OF codllng
moth in the second brood than the first. Since the
per cent of the first brood is relatively small com
pared to the second and the worms must crawl from
the leaves to fruit hey would rather starve than
feed on the eaves) all this shows that the first brood
should be easy to control if efficient spray was
possible and is now possible with FLUXIT.
Entomologists show that few of the first brood OF
codIing moth feed the undersde of the leaves ana
on the succulent twigs, but has not been estab-
shed as to what per cent killed by such feeding
when the habit is to peel away the surface with their
mandibles before feeding.
Such being the case the underside of the leaves
should also be sprayed very thoroughly and nicotine
sulphate one pint to 200 gallons should be added
to the first brood sprays with arsenate so as 10 pol
son the food supply with soluble poison lnstead OF
an insoIuble one as also to get soluble poison on
their mandibes while peeling and also to slcken IL
not kill the larva The nicotine is very ValuaDle
addition to arsenate to control other insects as
aphis, leaf hoppers, etc., during the nrsC Droou
period.
Bv concentrating more intensely and thoroughly on
the first brood by better and sprays its control
is not at all impossible when FLUXIT Is USED winch

Mixing and Amount of
FLUXIT To Use

IN ALL SPRAYS USE POUND TO 100 GALLONS
Add FLUXIT to the powdered insecticides or fungi
cides and mix together in pail while dry. Add the
smallest amount of water to make a smooth thin
paste. Stir constantly for to minutes to COM
petely fux spray materials (this is importantly Add
water again slowly to dilute the paste while stirring
and the mixture is ready for USE This applies to
insoluble powders arsenate of lead sulphur cal
cum sulphide, etc. also bordeaux, but not to the drv
form of liquid lime-suphur which is a soluble form
of sulphur. When the latter liquid lime-sulphur
is used add the diluted arsenate-fuxt mixture last
and spray such out quickly.
FLUXIT is cheap (retails at zoe pound) but be-
of better control it costs nothing when profits
are greatly increased. FLUXIT, a very fine powder
is put in pound bags, (gassine ined) so bags to
cartoon. FLUXIT is available everywhere at all
spray dealers or they can get it for you. PLACE
YOUR ORDERS EARLY.

sulphur last longer puts on smoother coverage and
aids to prevent lime-sulphur damage. FLUXIT helps
to retard the formation of black sudge in the lime

two suspected cattle thieves had been

2 cattle man for every one of the 40
holes in their bodies.
At that time, 1891, game, particularly
antelope, deer and a few elk, were still
plentiful on the Musselshell. The writer
tells of his experiences as a tenderfoot
at a roundup, and relates how his
brother narrowly escaped death when

Crossed at Junction
In crossing the river at Junction in
a buggy, the two Lowthers had another
narrow escape. The horses, because Of
sore shoulders, had baked, and the
force of the current was gradually
working them into deeper water away
from the ford when q maj in an empty
wagon came along and by getting a
hitch around the pole Of the buggy,

brother, who became General Lowthef
after distinguished service in the Boef
and World wars, visited the ranch one
summer while he was a young lieu

In his book, From Pillar to Post,
he gives a lively account of his expert

of extra : legal hangsmen was stirred
when a photograph showed they had

and they bought up and destroyed all
copies they could get hold of.
In the Billings Times that had an

Boer troubles in South Africa owned
a ranch in the Musselshell country.
Theodore Roosevelt, Marquis de Mores
and jameson, all storm centers in their
time, came from the Little Missouri in
1884 to offer their services to Gran
vile Stuart in cleaning up the horse
thief gangs, but Stuart declined their
aid, it is related in Hagendorn's "Roos-
evelt in the Bad Lands" Archie Ed
monson. a remittance man, had a horse
ranch in the Musselshell section.
Another English ranchman of note
was Richard Ashworth, who was a big
cattle owner in the Sinking Water
country in northern Wyoming, with his
partner. James c. Johnston. There is
frequent mention in early Billings
papers of titled Englishmen stopping
on their way to the Ashworth and
Johnston ranch. Ashworth often stayed
in Billings for weeks at a time and
was known as a man of very liberal
p~ropensities. He died supposedly by
his own hand under rather mysterious
circumstances that were never fully
solved.

BUTTE MINERS
TO GET MEDALS
FOUR MEN WHOSE EFFORTS SAVED
LIFE OF ANOTHER CITED FOR
FIRST AID MERIT"
Fellow Workman Rendered Unconscious
BY Contact With Electric Wires, Was
Resuscitated by Comrades With Such
Experiences That He Escaped Death.

Four miners of the Butte hill are
to be presented with Especial Merit
in First Aid" silver medalIions by the
first aid commission for having saved
a human life. The action of the COM
mission has been approved by w. Is.
DAILY, general manager of mines, and
John l.. BOardman, chairman of the
safety bureau of the Anaconda COM
pany.
The men to be honored for their
part in rescuing a fellow miner from
death are Verne LAVA, miner; Fred
Reindl, shift boss; Chester Judd, as
sistant foreman, and Frank Shone OF
the Tammany rescue station. The man
whose life was saved is Oscar Lind
berg who was rendered unconscious by
electric shock in the Belmont mine
on the night of Jan. l6.
The First Aid commission, which Is
composed of William j. Mcmahon,
James H. White and Henry E. Cal
lison, in their report recommending
that suitably engraved silver medal
lions to be presented to the four men
named, also refer to the services of
DR.. William Smith and the nurses Of
the st. James hospital staff who as
sisted Frank Shone in resuscitating
Lindberg.
The action Of the commission is
based on a personal investigation Of
the accident, following the report of
w. j. Ryan, safety engineer, on the
matter.
The commissions finding are to the
effect that on the date mentioned
above Lindberg attempted to turn the
switch on q fan box at croSscut 1901
of the Belmont. The vibration of the
fan had worn off the insulation. Lind
berg was rendered unconscious.
LAVA, noting this, pushed him loose
from the wires, using a piece of lag
ging. Reindl, the foreman, applied arti-
fetal respiration. He also called the
doctor and ordered a mine stretcher
sent down.
Chester Judd, assistant foreman, re-
sponded to the danger signal and as
sisted Reindl in administering artificial
respiration. Frank Shone and DR..
Smith completed the work started by
Reindl. Verne LAVA is not a member
OF the first aid organization and is
not under the regulations included In
the list OF those who may receive Spe-
cial Merit First Aid medallions. On
account Of his excellent Judgment in
striking Lindbergh with the tagging
in such q manner as to break the
contact with the death-dealing electric
wire the commission decided to waive
the regulations and present LAVA with
a medallion.
The medallions are now being en-
graved and will be officially presented
TO the four miners at an early date.

THERE have been mighty few native
Montanans who could say that they
were born in the old mining camp of
Diamond City in the days when that
place vas a roaring metropolis. One
of these native sons was William A.
Bruckert, aged "a, who died recently
in the Northern Pacific hospital at
Glendive. Mr.. Bruckert was the son
of n of the earliest white families
Of the state, his parents having come
to Montana with the DR.. Steele expe-
dition which set out from st. Joseph,
Mo, early in 1868, with a bull train.
The Bruckerts eventually settled in
Diamond City where they engaged in
mining and merchandising and it was
there that William A. Bruckert was

Butte Woman Finds Copy
OF Newspaper Describing
Washimgtom's Burial Rites

4 COPY of an American newspaper
II more than 100 years old and still
well preserved, detailing the &C
counts Of the burial of George Wash
ington; accounts of the battle of zu-
rich in Europe, Oct. 20, 1893, the news
of which was just received then in New
York by fast packet; sundry advertise
ments regarding slaves for sale and
similar items, was recently uncovered
in an old trunk by a Butte woman.
The newspaper is a copy OF the
Ulster County Gazette, dated Jan. a.,
1900, and printed in Kingston, Ulster
county, New York. The sheet had EVIL
IDENTIFY been in business for at least two
year, being marked volume two, mum
Der SO, published by Samuel Freer and
Sons. Most of the spelling is anti
quated and follows the style then used.
The paper, the property of Mrs. Ag-
mes Crnich, 435 East Galena street, was
found In a trunk which was originally
the property of Mrs. Crnich's grand
mother, who went to California during
the gold rush of 1849, Mrs. Crnich said.
The paper and much of the contents
of the trunk in which 1t was found,
was given to the grandmother in turn
by her mother shortly before the
daughter left in an OK train from New
York for the then dangerous journey
to the west, Mrs. Crnich said.
The trunk became the property OF
Mrs. Crnich'S mother on the death Of
the grandmother and has thus passed
to the present owner. who, ranSack-
ing the attic a few days ago, opened
the trunk and found the newspaper.
The paper is a four-page periodical,
about IL by Is inches In size. The
first page is taken up with stories from
the London Gazette. dated at Down
ing street, Oct. 10, 1899, of English ac-
counts Of the battle Of Zurich and other
major engagements then taking place
on the continent. Extracts from let
tiers from and to Lord Greenville by
subordinates regarding battles are also
detailed.
The second ana third pages are lined
in somber black and give accounts OF
the burial Of Washington. A poem, "by
a young lady," on the death of George
Washington, also adorns this section.
That the paper sorrowed with thu
rest OF the nation is amply demon.

Describing the funeral ceremony, the
paper says: ION the ornament at the
head of the coffin was inscribed Surge

coffin, Gloria Dec, and on the silver
plate: General George Washington,

of artillery from a vessel in the river,
firing minute guns, aWoke afreSh our

The paper also furnishes a humor-
Gus side to present day readers, espe-
cially with its remarkable advertise
mentS. The matrimonial agency OF
Jensen e. Company of London, England,
in a large black display sets forth that
it Is established to supply settlers In
