Scale lives and works all the year round. Don't forget this. As the old
scale dies, the new is ready to carry on the destruction of our orchards.
The scale is less vigorous in the fall, and more easily and surely destroyed
than in any other season of the year. Therefore now is the best time to attact it
and kill it. If you spray now, many a valuable tree will be saved that otherwise,
because of the scale, would not retain life enough to start up in the spring.
YOU HAVE MORE TIME NOW There is less wind to scatter and waste
the spray, and make it hard to cover every part. Then, too, you cannot tell what
may happen to prevent thorough spraying ia the fall. BUT ABOVE ALL, the
results of FALL SPRAYING are absolutely certain, provided, of coursp, that you

Remarkable Fatherhood.
They were talking about a certain
famous statesman' remarkable father
hood. At seventy be had children
three, four and Ave years old.
"I can tell you of fatherhood still
more remarkable," said a physician.
"There was the historic case of Sir
Stephen Pox, to whom, at the age of
ninety-nine, a daughter was born.
Then there was Joel Vaughan of Cin
cinnati, who had twenty-seven children,
the last being born when he was sev-euty-ntne
years old. The late Eurl of
Leicester was seventy-one when his
last son was born. The Earl of Essex
was sixty-seven at the birth of his
daughter, Lady Ileatrlce." Philadel

Watch Papers.
When thick watches with removable
cases were carried It was the custom
for watchmaker whenever they clean
ed a watch to place In the bottom of
the loose case an encraved label wltb
their names ami addresses, on which
they would write the date of the re
pair. Frequently these latiels were
elaborately enirraved. Sometimes they
contained minims or versus around the
outside. This ha hit Kve rise to the
fashion of niacins In the cases verses
and devices, tokens of friendship
love, sometimes written on pa-r, hut
more frequently p.iir.ti-d or worked ou
satin. All t!icso were designated as

FRVITDALE ORANGE.
The Fruitdale Grange met last
Saturday afternoon, at the school
boost). Among the visitors prevent
were Mr. and Mrs. Alverson, Mrs.
Parham aud Miss Lawtou. from Dim
ick Grange; Mrs. M. E. Sturtevant of
Grants Pass and 3. A. Keits of Fruit
dale. The meeting was opened by
Worthy Master U. C. Batehaui aud
put in chargeof the lecturer.
The current events given in response
to the roll call very were interesting.
Mrs. E. H. Wise read a very instroc
tive paper on "Raising poultry for
profit. The methods advocated iu this
paper were uot only practical, but
necessary to successful poultry raising.
Mrs G. A. Hamilton opened the dis
cussion" Do hens lay as well wheo
confined as when allowed free range?"
Mrs. Hamilton handled this subject in
a very able manner, after which It
was freely discussed by a number of
persons. Nearly all agreed that milk
was a good food for all kluds of chick
ens and especially beuefiioial for lay
ing hens.
Some advocated sweet and others
sour milk but aa one of the experi
ment station bulletins stated thit
sweet milk waa more beneficial for
poultry than sour, theFraitdale chick
ens will drink sweet milk.
The next number waa a duei by
Mrs.M. E. Sturtevaut aad Mis. II. O.
Bateham entitled" Sunny Home."
This beautiful song was well rendered
and enjoyed by all.
Mrs. W. S. Coo taut then real some
luteie-ting extraots from one of the
experiment station bulletins on in
cnbators, versus settiug hens. Accord
ing to the experiments described, it
was proved that hens hatch larger
per rent of the eggs than Incubators
do, nevertheless inonbators were
thought more profitable, as mure
chickens can be hatched at oue time.
Early spring chiokeus always thrive
much better than those Jhatclied in
hot weather. The time saved in car
ing for them is also qnite an Item.
Pullets hatched the first of April will
usually begin laying early in the fall
when moat of the old hens are on a
vacation and eggs are bringing a good
price.
Mrs. Parham gave very helpful
and interesting talk from her exper
ience in raising and caring for chick
ens, ins majority thought mat ontut
ens we profitable and we do not knw
that anyone decided against the ' bid
dies" even after H. C. Bateham bad
read statistics showing that the "Ore
gon ben," was not profitable. Borne
of the ladies shook their heads and
said they were sure their hens eggs
were not counted in when the "cen
sus was taken."
The next was a reading by Mrs.
Robert Huck entitled "The bsna kept
a-layin right along." This poem very
plainly showed that from the dawning
of creation nntil the present time the
bens bad kept a laying right along. "
S. A. Beits then iaug"Goodoit(bt,
Little Girl, Goodnight." Mr. Kelts
is an exceptionally fine singer. In re
sponse to the hearty encore he sang
"Goodbye 8weet Day."
Irrigation and other timely and in
teresting subjects where then dis
cussed. Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Blan-
chard's applications, for membership
were voted on aud accepted.
By this time the evening shadows
were beginning to fail and all were
in a hurry to get home, feed the
chickens aud gather iu the eggs, "be
cause the hens keep a-luying right
along." Therefore the remainder of
the business was postponed until the
next meeting and we adonrned, feel
ing that a very pleasant aud profitable
afternoon bad been spent.

GOOD WAY TO GET RID
OF BIG FIR STUMP
A farmer who has had much exper
ience In getting rid of tlr stumps, tells
In a re ent issue of tho Pacific Home
stead of the way he accomplished the
best results. Many Courier recder
are now clearing preparatory to plaut
ing vineyards and orchards so will un
doubtedly be interested In what the
writer has to say, which ia aa follows:
'To begin with I will aav that any
good strong man can get rid ol an old
fir stump, slxorelg-ht feet in diameter,
with an outlay of not more than two
hours' woik and there will not be a
root ol It left tuat a plow will touch In
plowing the ground whore it stood.
Now, you must do the ork in the
months ol July, August or September,
or, If the stumps are not more than two
leet through, the first half of October
ill do. These statetnsnlt apply to all
stumps that have beau cut two years or
lonnsr (not greo stumps).
''F'lllow these directions: .First put a
lot ol valueless wood around the stump.
If the stump la very large one-half a
wagon box full of wood will not be too
much. Next lay on the wood a little
old straw or green fern or weeds and
next cover the who with several inch
es of diit including the stump, if the
stump in not too high, in which cane
merely cover the straw or weeds leav
ing the top of tbe stump uncovered. In
ooverin ' with dirt leave a little bit of
space uncovered at or near the ground
into which insert some kindling wood
and then having covered all but the
little space, set it on Are. When It lias
gotten well to burning cover I lie little
space you left for kindling. It will
soon become intensely hot under the
dirt snd, if the fire breaka through put
on mors dirt Keep the fire confined ;
do not let the boat escape snd the burn
ing will quickly generate a gas which
will penetrate tbe entire stump far in
to its roots. It will burn from a few
davs to two months or even a lit! I
longer owing to the size of tbe stump.
A heavy rain will not interfere with
thejburning as the dirt being hut caus
es the rsin to evaporate as fait as it
falls keeping the stamp d.y.
"By keeping the heat confined aa
above described the generated gas will
barn the roots several feet in the
ground.
"I burtiod a groat lot of Ar stumps In
this way thiee years ago. Two years
ago I burned aeveuty-five. Latt yoar I

A Common Cold,
We claim that if catching cold could be
avoided some of the imsit dangeroua and
fatal diseases would never be heard of, A
I cold often forms a culture bed for germs of
I infectious disesses. i'onstiniiition, pneu
monia, diphtheris'snd scarlet fever, four of
the moat dangerous and fatal d I leasee, are of
this data. The culture bed formed by the
cold favors the development of the germs ol
these diMaaeS, that would not otherwise una
lodkjnt. Tbsre la little danger, however,
of any of Iheae diaeaasa being contracted
when a good-tiiwctorant eouich mediciiia
like ChauilMrlalu a Cough lleniedy is ued. '
It cleans out these rulture beds that lavnr
tilt development of the germs of these lic
enses. That it why this remedy baa prov. '
to universally successful in preventing
