Roycroft Philosophy By Fra Elbertus. Co-operate and assist not criti sise and find fault. Bees have a scheme whereby they eliminate the useless drones. That is where the bees set man a pace. But bees have no way of making a worker out of a drone, and possibly that is where we score on B'rer Bee. Personal liberty is the art of discrimination knowing what you don't want and leaving it alone. Every life is its own excuse for being, and should be judged as a Whole, not in trivial parts. A man owes his first duty to himself, and that duty is to be gentle in his acts and moderate in his judgements. Thus does he conserve his strentgh over against the time when it is most needed, and stands ready to seize opportunity when it comes his way. If you would be happy let not happiness be your aim. The great man is great on ac count of certain positive qualities he possesses; not through the ab sence of faults. All things work together for good whether you love the Lord or not. It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires great strength to decide what to do. A pessimist is one who has been intimately acquainted with an optimist. I would rather be able to ap preciate things I cannot have, than to have things I am not able to apprecitae. The only right you need is the right to be useful. If you suffer, thank God! It is sure proof you are alive. When any man begins to pride himself on being a learned man, that instant there is a very large blue-bottle fly in his cold cream. Controlling Apple Scab. At a recent meeting of the Lane County Horticultural Soci ety, IYof. Griffin, of the 0. A. C. addressed the meetingon the sub ject o.f "Spraying." As report ed in the Eugene Guard, Prof. Griffin said; "Apple scab can be controlled by proper spraying with either Bordeaux mixture or lime-sulphur solutions. In humid regions pro bably at least three applications are necessary. The first just as the blossoms are beginning to show color, the second just after the petals fall, at the time of the first codling moth spray, and the third time some two or throe weeks later. "We have found it perfectly practicable to combine any good brand of arsenate of lead with pure lime-sulphur solutions made as above directed. The one ap plication directly after the blos soms fall therefore becomes of value in controlling both apple scab and the codling moth. "The results of two season's work indicate that properly pre pared lime-sulphur solutions may advantageously be substituted for Bordeaux mixture when spray ing for apple scab. It has pro duced each season a larger per centage of fruit free from scab and has not produced any 'rus seting' of the fruit "Further experimental work is necessary to determine the pro per strength of spray to use on different varieties of trees grow ing under different conditions, out it is oeneveu mat a oU per cent stock solution diluted 1 to 18 may safely be used upon the apple."

The whole town of Buena Vista was shocked last Saturday to hear the sad news of the death of Miss Ada Belshe, of Monmouth.
