A NEW ARSENICAL SPRAY.
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

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

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-

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.
