In view of the fear which is felt by some orchardista as to the effects on their fruit tn>es resulting from a con- tinued use of arsenate of lead ns an insecticide in their spraying opera- tions from an accumulation of arsenic in the soil and because of the fear felt in some other quarters as to the effect on the public health of an ex tensive spraying of trees and fruit with nrsenh* lead compounds, keen interest will be felt In the work of two French scientists, Vermorel aud Ilantony, who, with a view to over coming tlie dangers referred to. have conducted extensive experiments tlie past three 5 ears in the use of ferrous arsenate as a substitute for arsenate of lead and 'with a remarkable degree of success. The solution which they have used Is made as follows: Twenty ounces of arsenate of soda are dis solved in live gallons of water, mak ing solution A. Twenty ounces of Iron sulphate are also dissolved in five gallons of water, making solution B Solution II is poured into solution A gradually, with continued stirring Toward the end of the operation the mixture should tie tested with potas sium ferrocyanide test pajier, and when I this tarns blue no more of solution B should be poured in, as it is important not to have too great an excess of the iron sulphate. The combination should then be diluted to fifty gallons. Be sides ten ounces of ferrous arsenate, it will contain also some sulphate of soda and ferrous hydrate. When in contact with the air the ferrous arse nate turns greenish, while in con tact witli the air the ferrous hydrate turns to ferric hydrate, which is the best antidote against arsenical poison- j Ing. The general color of the spray 1 is a dirty green and cannot be mis-1 taken for any other product. The ex perimenters found the« spray very ad hesive; that when used twice as ! strong as the above [»rescription there was no burning of the foliage, while ' at half strength it had an effect as an insecticide equal to the usual formula of arsenate of lead. Moreover, the foliage of trees sprayed with the fer rous arsenate looked healthier and of a darker green than those treated with other sprays. Besides the advan- tages mentioned adhesiveness, Insectl- cide value, freedom from burning, a characteristic color and the presence of nn antidote with the poison—would be the cheapness of the product, ow ing to the low cost of sulphate of iron ns compared with acetate of lend If ths he» should »cratch tbs com ing from the strawberry bed during the coming three or four week» the bare »pot» should be recovered. 4* it is the late winter and early spring freezing that plays smash with the plants.

If there is any one condition that a dairy or meat animal should be spared during thp winter months it is a wet and nasty place in which to rest at night. Not only does such a condition mean lack of comfort for the animals, but they are likely to produce or ag gravate tubercular tendencies and any other ailment that is promoted by dampness and filth. There are quite a good many things to take into account In getting ready for the spraybig campaign, and for this reason preparations should be made some time before tlie actual work is begun, Not only should the chemicals be on hand for the various solutions which are to be used, but the spray tank, hose, cutoff, nozzle. etc., should lie carefully Inspected. The apple maggot Is a pest which af fects this fruit in some sections of Maine, and It is said to be infinitely worse than tlie larvae of the codling moth, as many of the maggots will in fest a single apple and often entirely honeycomb it. One of the worst fen tures i : connection with the pest seems to be that it cannot be readily reached iiy the arsenical sprays which are so effective in holding the codling moth in check. The check habit is a mighty good habit to get into not only because it means that a fellow who _ uses a check book has money in the bank, but also that when a bill has been paid by check not only the stub, but the can celed check, serve as conclusive evi dence that the account for which it was drawn has been paid. More men ought to have money in the bank, aud more ought to use check books. Often the stand still condition of the house fern or palm is due to the roots having completely occupied all of the available space in the pot. In such case the plant should be removed from the pot. placed in a larger receptacle and new soil added, with such fer tilizer as the particular plant may need. Where the plant looks rather tough it is sometimes advisable to cut the leaves or body back rather sharp ly. thus inducing a rapid growth of new stuff. « It is entirely in place to talk of a conservation of forest and water power resources, but far transcending this is an agitation looking to such handling of the rich soils to be found almost anywhere as will result In a conserva tion of their fertilizing elements, those factors that really give them worth as soils. Could the loss which we have sustained in this regard be known and the figures representing.it be express ed In black and white it would be a total staggering belief. One of the best features connected with the agricultural short courses which are being conducted by agricul tural college instructors at important points in their respective states is not only that it gives practical agricul tural Instruction condense«! and sim plified for the benefit of those not used to technical study, but it arouses in many a bright boy and girl a desire to know more about the subjects pre sented, thus influencing them to take the more extended courses at the state agricultural college. The short course is thus a sort of agricultural entree, whetting the appetite for a good square meal.

Advice of American Shoe Workers to British Brethren. A recent report of the National Union of Boot and Shoe Operatives of Great Britain contains some very interesting correspondence between the executive of the union aud the directors of the Co-operative Wholesale society relative to the proposed adoption of a union label on boots and shbes. While we would not presume to oiler our English brothers any advice, it is our belief that the adoptissi of the union label in England generally would add much to the strength of the move ment over there. As we understand the matter a fai larger percentage of workers are or ganized in England than In America, and we believe they are more loyal and steadfast to their union principles. For these reasons we believe that If the union label was adopted there it would receive a greater degree of sup port front its members, and. tlie mem bers being more numerous in propor tion to the population, tile commercial disadvantage to any firm not using it would be much greater than here, and therefore the label would be more pow erful there than here. We freely acknowledge we have learned much from our English broth ers, and we remember with gratitude their financial assistance to us at a critical time in our history as a union. The union label has made us strong where we were once weak and we be lieve will make our English brothers stronger even though they are now strong.—Shoe Workers' Journal. LABOR NOTES. The Boston Cigarmakera' union has a Tnembership of 2.800 in good standing. The union working women of Bos ton have organize«! a choral society for the purpose of singing labor songs in meetings. George L. Berry of San Francisco, president of the International Print ing Pressmen and Assistants' union, hns announced his candidacy for re- election. Thomas L. Lewis has been re-elect- •ed president of the United Mine Work ers by a referendum vote. Mr. Lewis was first elei-ted two years ago, when John Mitchell declined a re-election. Owing to tlie tremendous number of i applications for membership received by Boston Machinists' lodge 264 it em- : powered its organizing committees to initiate in special session whole shop, crews. Complete returns show that the ref- erendum vote of the International Prcsstn«‘n and Assistants' union on the proposition to establish a home in Ten-1 nessee was favorable in the general result by 1.265. • leorge F.
