HOW ABOUT SPRAYING f
A Row Terk FTalt Orewee tore All

Tbe number of fruit growers In tbla
vicinity (northwestern Columbia and
southern Rensselaer counties) who
apray la gradually lacreaaing. I think
It aafo to say tbat practically all the
good up to date farmer art now apray
Ing. Bpraytug la comparatively a new
thing. It la a disagreeable Job and
cornea In tbe most busy time of tbe
year. One la working by faith, not by
sight, always a harder task. Most of
the pumps and appliance for apraylng
are too weak and Imperfect
Then, too. It la not rare to meet a
man who thinks bordeaux mixture will
kill InsecU and parts green destroy
plant lice. Nevertheless better and
more Intelligent work la being done
earb year. That the advantage la real
and apparent la evidenced by tbe fact
Just cited that apraylng la Increasing.
Another very significant fact la that
tbe best buyers will hardly go to look
at an orchard that baa not been spray
ed. Tbe spread of tbe San Jose scale
la compelling many to apray who nev
er did ao before, and tho very thorough
work that must be done to have any
effect on tbla pest means better spray
ing all along the llne.-H. E. Van Al
ityne In Rural New Yorker.
iRraflaST tk. Apple.
In apraylng tbe apple for scab an4
rust for the first application apray with
copper sulphate solution or, better, with
strong bordeaux mixture before the
buda start For the second application
give another apraylng wltb bordeaux
mixture aa aoon as the bios soma have
fallen. After tbla two or three apray
Inga wltb bordeaux mixture may be
given at Intervale of three or four
weeks.
For the bod moth add parla green
or lead arsenate to bordeaux mixture
for first and aecond sprayings given for
scab.
For the codling moth add parla green
or lead arsenate to the aecond apraylng
wltb bordeaux mixture. Give a like ap
plication after about two months to
catch later broods of tbe Insect It Is
recommended for tbe first apraylng giv
en that a nosale throwing a rather
coarse apray be used, so that larger
quantities of the poison will be depos
ited In tbe calyx end of the apple,
where the caterpillar of this Insect usu
ally enters. A. E. Stone, Rhode Island.

for rubber plants are the worst They

The Crafty Old Fox
A JAPANESE STORY
ir'Hiw)tiiniii'aiWniplipinirinmi)patM,
It 1 well known in Japan that, al
though foxes can delude human be
togs, tbey can never deceive a dog.
I There was once a thrifty poulterer
who, In carrying bis fowls to market,
bad to pass near tbe lair of a very
rrafty fox, but as be was accompa
nied by a good bunting dog be bad nev
er Buffered any mishap.
One day, however, the fox, whose
mouth watwd at tbe eight of the fat
ducks and chickens, bit upon a scheme
to obtain them. Taking bla eldest son,
promising young cub, wltb him, be
stationed himself near the road and
watched. As soon aa tbe poulterer
came In sight be told tbe cub to run
Across tbe road. Tbe dog promptly
gave cbaae, and tbe old fox, assuming
tbe form of a beautiful woman, step
ped forward and accosted tbe poulterer
wltb timid courtesy.
I "Do you know that there Is a mis
chievous fox near here, good air?" aaid
be. "You would better look out for
your fowla."
"Ob, my dog just ran after him, so
there la no danger," answered tbe poul
terer. - -1-T V .' -
"But If he hurts' the fox tbe other
foxes will seek to be revenged. Hadn't
we bettef go by the other road It Is
shorter and leads past shrine of tbe
ajoddess Kuannon, who can deliver us
from the power of all foxes."
Hbe led the way under tbe trees, fol
lowed by tbe amazed poulterer, who
wondered that be bad never beard of
this road before, but be waa too charm
ed by her beauty to make any objec
tion. ' Bo deluded was he that the narrow,
muddy patch seemed to him a broad,
level road, and before long tbey arrived
t tbe ahrlne of the goddess. After of
fering their prayers tbey sat down at
ft table In an adjoining room wblcb
7aa covered with all the delicacies of
the season and feasted to their hearts'
content
: Then the cunning fox-woman slipped
unpercelred from tbe room and, tak
ing tbe form of a bozu (Buddhist
priest), rushed back, demanding In a
terrific voice wbut any one meant by
stealing the food of the goddess Kuan
non and threatening tbe poor, deluded
man with instant death.
Tbe poulterer fell on bis knees and
begged plteously for bis life.
'I will pardon you this once," said
tbe bozu, "on condition that you con
sent to be my disciple."
Greatly relieved, he submitted will
ingly to having his bead shaved clean.
When tbe bozu left the room be flung
himself on a richly covered couch and
soon was fast asleep.
What was his amazement on waking
to find himself half lying In a ditch
of muddy water In front of an old, de
serted straw hut No trace was left of
his fowls, and, putting bla band to bis
bead, be discovered that all bis hair
was gone. Then be knew that he had
been deluded by the crafty old fox of
which he bad so often beard.

Kitchen Tragedy
s')iiiiwiiT""H"iir"mi'i'i'aiiief
There were great doings in tbe kitch
en of the big bouse the other day. Tho
cousins were coming, and tbe cook was
manufacturing all sorts of delicious
little surprises. Among them were
funny pie crust man with very crook
ed arms and legs and a wondrous gin
ger bread elephant with raisins for eyes
and cloves for toes.
These were lying side by side on the
fable where tbe cook bad placed them
as they came out of tbe oven. No soon
er had the cook left tbe kitchen for a
few minutes than tbe I. C. M. jumped
up and ran to tbe other end of tbe ta
ble. Being still warm and soft, bis legs
were not strong. Therefore his gait
waa quite unsteady.
Tbe O. B. E., following tbo man's ex
ample, rose to bis feet and looked wltb
amusement at the P. C. M.'s antics.
"You csn't walk straight yet," trump
eted the O. B. E. across tbe table.
"Tbsfs all yon know about It," waa
the retort And to show what ft reso
lute r. C. M. can do be started to make
a B line along a crack In tbe table.
Tbe G. B. E. atarted along the same
Crack to go the other way.
Of course tbey met Of course nei
ther one would get out of the way.
And that made the collision. Tbe P. C.
XI. raised bis arms as If be were aim
ing a giro. But the G. B. E., not car
ing to be shot, even with pie crust bul
lets, seized tbe P. C. M. on bis trunk
and tossed blm Into the buttermilk jar.
Naturally tills brought the P. C. M. to
bis senses. He surrendered and began
to cry ut In despair that be waa all
coming apart.
Tbe 0. B. E. was just Inflating him
self to shout victory when a little boy
came In and ate blm up. So ended tbe
P. C. SI. and tbe G. B. E.
Sparrows mm Coo4 Baaaaritaaa.
The sparrow has never been noted
for its good works and kind deeda, but
the following little story throws a new
light on tbe despised little scrap
pers: Last spring a young robin was found
floundering about a gentleman's lawn.
It was unable to fly and bad evidently
fallen from Its uest Fearing that the
cats might devour It lu tbe night, this
gentlemax took the bird to the rear of
his yard am placed It in an lnclosure
covered with a wire screen. While
dressing the next morning be looked
out of bis window and waa amazed at
the action of a couple of sparrows who
were carrying norma to tbe young
robin In tbe lnclosure. Tbey would fly
away only to return a few moments
later with worma, which they dropped
through the screen Into the upturned
mouth of tho captive. .Tbey kept up
tbla charitable feeding until the robin
was liberated, and even men they hov
ered around like self appointed guard-

Terrific Race With Death.
"Death was fast approaching.,
writes Ralph F. Fernanda of Tampa,
Fla,, describing his fearful race with
death, "as a result of liver trouble and
heart disease, which had robbed me of
sleep and cf all interest lnlfe. I had
tried many different doctors and sev
eral medicines, but got no benefit, un
til I began to use Electric Bitters. So
wonderful waa th.lr effect, that in
three days I felt like a new man, and
today am cured of all my troubles.
