SPRAYING METHODS.
How the . Business Is Conducted
Large Way.
In
Ordinarily vre And crude oil emul
sion prepared by putting thirty or for
ty gallons of water in a spraying tank;
then put in twelve -or fifteen pouuds of
whale oil or other soap and boll until
the soap is dissolved; then pump fifty
gallons of oil Into the tank, keeping the
team turned In all the time; then fill
the tank to 200 gallons, keeping the
agitation going all the time. We use
this emulsion one year and if not com
paratively free from scale follow the
second year with sulphur and lime,
We removed the upper story from our
thirty-year-old apple orchard, and now
and comparatively little difficulty in
reaching the tops of the trees with the
pray, Btariding on an elevated plat
form on the wagon.
Sulphur and Lime.
We use sulphur and lime on our
peaches, pears and most varieties of
plums and prunes. In our various
srchards we have three, eight or ten
horsepower boilers with elevated vats
for cooking the sulphur and lime and
the emulsion and use four power and
two hand sprayers. With these mod
ern means of applying the remedies, is
tt not surprising that hundreds and
thousands of acres of apple orchards
m western New York and Canada be
tween Hamilton and the Niagara river
re being abandoned? In many dis
tricts you have scarcely enough ap
ples to supply home demand and can
ning factories, let alone any for ex
port There have always been great
fears among small fruit growers that
soon there would be an overproduction
and no remunerative market as in 1S9G.
This San Jose scale should allay all
fears on that score. These untreated
caly orchards are fit for the brush
- pile In from two to five years, said
WHlard Hosklns In a paper, read be
fore the Ontario Fruit Growers' asso
ciation. A NEW STRAWBERRY.
A First Prize Winner of Unsurpassed
Quality and Size.
The Norwood strawberry was nam
td and given the first prize by the
Massachusetts Horticultural society at
the exhibition this year. This straw
berry. Is supposed to be a cross be
tween the Marshall and Corsica, as It
eame up where the Marshall had been
grown and near where the Corsica
was grown at the same time.
I believe the Norwood Is considered
the best all round strawberry in ex
fctence. The plant is strong and
healthy, making a liberal number of
strong runners, but not excessive. The
NOEWOOD STEAWBEEIil.
Serry Is conic and regular In shape.
Hot a coscombed berry was found
this season. The quality is unsur
passed and the size unequaled, some
attaining the enormous size of three
inches In diameter. Four such ber
ries would fill a box and be crowded,
states a writer in American Cultiva
tor. Color, bright red all the way
through, growing darker with age; Is
firm, a good keeper and will ship well;
has a perfect blossom and holds Its
size well through the season and re
mains In bearing a long time; picked
the first box June 18 and the last one
July 18. The largest berries were
found In matted rows or beds, al
though the plants had received no ex
tra culture.
Early Magnolia.
M. stellata is the first of all magno
lias to blossom, being usually a week
earlier than M. yulan. It Is more or
less bushy, while the other starry flow
ered species assumes tree form in its
rative country. M. stellata is one of
the loveliest early flowering shrubs,
says a writer In the Garden Magazine.
Its numerous white petals radiate like
a star, flutter In the breeze and are
dellciously fragrant The whole bush
is covered with flowers and begins to
bloom when only two feet high. It
was introduced from Japan some thir
ty years ago by Dr. Hall, after whom
tt is often called M. halllana. It Is
very hardy.
A Special Fruit Trader.
Horticultural products have always
leen noted for their purity. Many
eareful growers of fruit have worked
p a special fruit trade by shipping
algh plass fruit under their own brand
and name. In years when climatic and
other conditions render the quality of
fruit lower than the grade they are ac
customed to ship under their named
brands the fruit Is forwarded unbrand
d. A neat, attractive brand or label
en well packed fruit soon becomes
known and asked for on the market

A TARDY RECOGNITION.
The Absentminded Professor and a
Most Intelligent Woman.
It was La Fontaine, tho fable writer,
trim lit lila ami'a ntuionin ..InHntr auroral
years in pursuit of an education, qutte
forirut him and was not reminded of
his existence until a friend arranged
a surprise meeting.
The father was pleased with the tne reason that it is the most common
manners and wit of tho young man . 01 a'l "s, ami t is certainly gratifying
presented to him, but failed to recog-! to sufferers to know that Chamber
nlze him and as soou as they parted Iain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and
promptly forgot him again. j make rest and sleep possible. In many
La Fontaine was a geulus and
kindly man, but one can hardly dis
sever abseiumlndeduess of such a sort
from shallow heartedness. Neverthe-
less in the ease of Professor, let us
say, Jones, who failed to recognise his
daughter after a year's .separation, the
bond of affection was both strong and
Mary, his only daughter, married and
went abroad with her husband. Their
return was a week or two before the
date appointed, and owing to a series
of mlsunderstandlnp and errors the j
professor was not Informed, was uot!
at home when they arrived and m!
them first at the house of a neighbor,
wnere tney nao. gone ;o squire snout:
him.
A reception was in progress there,
and he arrived some time after them
as a guest and still unaware of their
return. Strolling into bis friend's li
brary, away from the crowd, he be
came aware, as he was inspecting the
books, of some ladles in conversation
on the other side of a portiere, one of
whom dlsptyed an astonishing amount
of knowledge of bis own particular
hobby. He was surprised and de
lighted. 'There's a lady in the next room
you must positively present me to," he
said eagerly to his host, who bad join
ed -him "a most intelligent woman!
She's been talking of the prehistoric
race9 In a surprisingly discriminating
manner. Who is she?"
A Mrs. Smith, I believe," replied
the host, much amused, since be knew
who the lady was. "Come I will pre
sent you now."
They passed the curtain, and the pro
fessor, who had failed to connect the
name of Mrs. Smith with his Mary,
was duly Introduced, for the ladles had
overheard his Inquiry and the reply
and were disposed to keep up the joke.
Peering shortsightedly through bis big
glasses, which, by his usual mistake,
were his reading glasses when they
should have been his object glasses, he
did not recognize . Mary when he saw
her, and the father and daughter actu
ally opened a conversation on prebln-
toric man and carried It on for several
minutes before the strain proved too
much.
Then the listeners broke down In
laughter, ud Mary, with a cry that she
could not keep it up any longer, caught
the old gentleman around the neck and
kissed bljn.
"Bless my soul, Mrs. Smith V he
gasped, bewildered. "Wby Mary!"
Youth's Companion.
Reticence or Ignorance?
The inhabitants of Chinese villages
are very ignorant of the places in
their own neighborhood, according to
an interview with W. J. Garnett, the
third secretary of the British legation
at Peking, which the Manchester
Guardian prints. Mr. Garnett return
ed a little while ago from a journey
through the provinces of Shantung
and Klangsu, and a sample of the
conversation that took place when he
asked the way from one village' to an
other is below:
"Is this the way to Tsouhsein?"
"Are you going to Tsouhsein?"
"Yes. Is this the wayT
"Oh, you are going to Tsouhsein, are
you? Where do you come from?"
"From Chlningchow. Please, Is this
the way to Tsouhsein?"
"Oh, you've come from Chinlngohow,
have you? Are you going Into the city
walls of Tsouhsein?"
Finally the native would admit that
he did not know the way to Tsoubsdn.
At the entrance to another village an
ancient villager was asked what the
name of the place was. After asking
In turn who Mr. Garnett was, where he
nau come irozn, wnere ne was going
and why he wanted an inn, he consid
ered the original question when repeat j
ed by the patient inquirer and finally
closed the conversation by saying:
"How should I know? I m not a
learned man."
When Children Went to War.
Among other improvements In the
art of war as attained by the world In
these later days Is the abolition of the
practice of sending children to sea, as
wa3 the case when the midshipmen of
the old "oak wails" of England often
were boys of less than fourteen years.
The Marquis of Dufferin and Ava In
telling about the siege of Bomarsund,
in the Crimean war, which he witness
ed from tho frigate Teneiope, related
this story of one of these little fellows:
"What pleased me most during the
whole business," he says, "was the
gallant behavior of a little midship
man, a mere child, thirteen or fourteen
years of age. About the time when the
fire became pretty hot I happened to
come across him, and, as he seemed to
be as much out of a job as myself, I
touched my cap and took the liberty of
observing that It was a , fine day, to
which he politely replied that it was.
"Encouraged by his urbanity, I ven
tured to ask him how long he had been
at sea, to which he answered, I bavei
only left my mamma six weeks, but I j
ain't going to cry on her majesty's
quarter deck, a remark which I think
as worth rtviKtlitist us many a onomadc
by mure illustrious heroes. Soon aftt'i'
this, however, a man was killed clcwe
to lilui, and the little fallow fainted
and was taken below."
The Most Common Cause of Suffering
' Rheumatism causes more pain and
suffering than any other disease, for
a cases the relief from pain, which is at
- first temporary, has become perma
' nent, while in old reople" subject to
chronic rheumatism, often brought on
by dampness or changes in the
, weather, a permanent cure cannot be

about a parrot once owned by a lady
ln Chicago-
Whpn thp ,lr wna ril an

her hands. There were two objects
equally dear, the parrot and the old
family Bible, and she could take but
one. After a moment of besitatiou she

: precious Bible was sacrificed and the
bird saved. Ho was otherwise a clever
bird. In the house to which the parrot
was, taken l';.vvu v;s, among other
visitors, a gentleman rather noted for
volubility. When the parrot first heard
him It listened in silence for souio
time; then, to the amazement of all
present. It sail very emphatically.
"You talk too much!"
The gentleman, at first embarrassed,
presently resumed his interrupted dis
course. Thereupon the parrot laid his
head upon one side, gave an Indescrib
ably comlcaf and contemptuous "n'tn!"
and added, "There he goes again!'
Biliousness and Constipation.
For years I was troubled with bil
iousness and constipation, which made
life miserable for me. My appetite
failed me. I lost my usual force and
vitality. Pepsin preparations and
cathartics only made matters worse.
I do not know where I should have
been today had I not tried Chamber
lam's Stomach and Liver Tablets.
The tablets relieve the ill feeling at
once, strengthen the digestive func
tions, purify the stomach, liver and
blood, helping the system to do its
work naturally Mrs. Rosa Potti,

She Was Human.
Until my swpctheart ate with me
I liked to think she fed on air
Or nectar and ambrosia fare,
With now and then a Hip of tea,
But when at last I chanced to see
My ladyat her dinner I
Watched soup and steak and (horrors!)
pie,
All disappearing daintily.
It was a shock, as you'll agr e.

And spoke the words I'd never dared
Until my sweetheart ito with me. .
