Chairman of the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs, has made a cautious
canvass among the loading members of

that It would be more politic lor tne
L'nited Btate to secure possession of the
islands than to allow England to either
aelie them or to establish a protectorate
there. Dr. Mott Smith, Hawaiian Min
ister, when asked about the matter aaid
he was not in the confidence of those

would be well received.

THE FARM AND GARDEN
Spraying for Codlin Moth and All
Half-Eating Insects.
THE CHEAPEST AND BEST MATERIAL
Scab and Fruit IM Caused by a Minute
Parasitic Plant Copper Solu
tion Kills the Growth.
A. C. Hammond, Secretary of the II.
liuoil Horticultural Society, is the pio
neer in the method of spraying fruit
trees. Much has been written concern
ing this subject, yet it ia one which tewm
to bear considerable discussion. Mr.
Hammond savs that in spraying for end!
lin moth and all balf-eating insects Lin.
don purple is the cheapest and best ma
terial, lie uses one pound to IsO
gallons of water for the first application,
and for the second, ten dayi utter, adds
lorty gallons of water. II a third spray
ing is done (which ia seldom necessary)
he adds forty gallons more, reducing i
to one pound to 200 gallons of water.
Die leaves ol tne pear tree are Wh
sensitive to arsenical poison than the
apple, while those of the peach and
plum are much more so, which makes
spraying for the curculio a ditlerent mat
ter. Vttiiie no exact ruirs can belaid
down, enough is known to warrant the
assertion that this insect depredation
can be estimated by millions of dollars,
and it is as safely true that the pests can
be safely eradicated with poisons. For
the peach and plum Paris green should
be used, and not ttronger than one
pound to 350 gallons of water. Tliit
weak solution atiou'd be applied fre
quently during the curculio season.
gome seasons scab causes half the ap
ple and pear crop to be worthless, and
peach, plum and grape rot often debt rou
a large portion of these fruits. That
these diseases can be overcome by the
use of fungicides no one who has given
the sutj'Ct careful attention for a mo
ment double, but it requires more intel
ligence and perseverance than the use of
insecticides. Scab and fruit rot are
caused by a minute parasitic plant, and
ttie application of copper solution kills
the growth, and, of course, prevents the
disease. To obtain the best results with
fungicides it 1b best to begin early and
spray every few days, as the condition of
the weather may render necessary, until
the danger point Is past. A five-acre
orchard of 200 trees can be eprayed at a
cost of $ 20, including pump, etc.
The Hog aa a Bcareof er.
When farmers and bog raisers cease to
employ the swine as scavengers to con
sume all the old, rotten, musty, moldy
ami damaged grain that chance to be on
the farm, together with the refuse and
decayed vegetables, dead animals, etc..
they will bave taken a long step toward
establishing a belter condition of health
in the herds and shutting out the inroads
of contagious diseases. It is a fact that
the hog is regarded aa especially suited
and designed to take the refuse of all
other animal creation and by the aid of
a little vegetable and grain diet be able
to convert this into a UiBt-class quality
of pork for human consumption.
We see hogs grown and fatted on the
refuse from slaughter houses, the most
nmiy oi animai reiuse. vve see mem
come out of steaming manure piles,
where they have not only diligently
turned everything over and over again
for a portion of their living, but hy the
absorption process taken into their sys
tem all the filth possible by heating and
steaming in these beds ot filth.
Again the hog is needlessly made to
consume an amount of dirt and tilth
that he otherwise would not do if more
care was taken in providing proper feed
ing fixtures for the distribution of the
feed. Grain is often thrown down in
the mud or dust for the hog to gather up
the best he can. The grain ia all right,
sound and good, but the plan of feeding
is damaging.
Thus it is observed all along the line
of swine management on the farm too
much disposition to regard the hog as a
scavenger to consume the refuse of all
kinds and at the same time make Irom
this a nice, sweet, juicy quality of p-jrk.
The meat must partake to a greater or
less extent of the materials from which
it is made.
Leltao for Market.
The finest lettuce is grown in rich and
comparatively moist soil, and market
gardeners who try to produce crisp and
tender leaves prefer to grow it in cool,
moist weather. Spring and late autumn
are the seasons of the year when the
finest lettuce is produced, although forced
lettuce of fine quality Is served the year
round. In such places sowings are made
every month of the year, and well-developed
plants of wonderful crispnesa
are Bold always upon the market.
In the early spring the lettuce that is
s'urted and sown in the open garden
commands good prices, and some market
gardeners devote considerable space to
the plants. They can be gathered and
sent to market in time to allow another
crop to be planted on the ground. The
richer the soil the better will it be for
the lettuce plants, and when a bed is to
be planted witb the seeds it should be
heavily manured. The lettuce nlants
take very little of the manure from the
ground, and such a bed is in fine condi
tion for another crop of vegetables. A
great deal of the manure will need lay
ing in the soil for reveral weeks in the
spring ti become thoroughly incorpor
ated in it for the second crop.
The crop must be sown and grown
qr ickly. They must be forced from the
time the seeds are planted until the
plants are gathered. The faster the
plantB grow the more tender and brittle
in quality will they be when harvested.
the eeed bed should be made smooth.
mellow and eoft, and the seeds should
be sown in it to the denth of a fourth of
an inch. Half an ounce of seeds should
cover a bed of 100 square feet.
