THE SAN FRANCISCO BULLiTIN
San Francisco's Greatest Daily
The Courier
is enabled to offer old and tew subscribers both papers fur
$3 per Year
The Bulletin publishes the Associated Press report of the
entire world, and in addition covers every important town on the
Pacific Coast by special correspondents.
Every inch of it is alive with crisp readable material.
The Bulletin is famotis fiom coast to coast !orit fight in defense
of clean government and is read by more people daily than the

a word, ' It is the wage-earners paper" and always a welcome

Considerable Interest is being
taken by the pupils of the Grants
Pass schools In cultivating and tak
ing care of the Flaming Tokay grape
vines presented to the school pupils
on April 17 by W. D. Sherman.
Thirty-two cash prizes, aggregat
ing $100, are to be given by Mr.
Sherman to the pupils who get the
best growth of their grape vines
during this season. These prizes
are to be awarded from the merit of
each vine on October 15, 1909. The
judges named were Mayor H. C.
Kinney, Wm. Scoville, manager of
the Fruit Growers Union, and G. A.
Hamilton, orchardist, of Frultdale.
As before stated in these columns,
vines were not only given to the
schools of Grunts Pass, but were sent
!to schools in all parts of the coantv
which could be reached by the rail
road and stage lines, the object of
which was a thorough demonstration
as to what parts of the county was
most valuable for Tokay grape cul
ture. As near as can be learned
there is about SO per cent of the
7000 vines sent broadcast over the
county that are giving a good ac
count of themselves, notwithstanding
the fart that as a rule they were
planted and have boon cared for by
children who are also, as a rule, in
experienced in Tokay grape culture.
This venture will no doubt be of
great value to our county as It will
be thoroughly demonstrated that
this climate will grow Tokay grapes
to perfection in any soil. Some peo
ple complain of our hot weather,
but they should remember that the
heat is our stock in trade. The sun
shine does not only add the flaming
red color with the assistance of the
iron in the soil, but also the sugar
to our Tokay grapes, as well as hav
ing the same effect on other fruits.

graceful curves and waves that seem
to have been made by varying cur
rents of wind.
"Many beautiful and valuable
specimens have been broken off and
carried away by visitors during the
past years, and It was this fact as
well as to, retain these natural won
ders as public property, that led to
the establishment of the national
monument. The act under which
the monument was established makes
it an offense, punishable by fine or
Imprisonment, or both, to appropri

objects which possess historic or

And one of the things they have

You once could eat anything1 you

But now there's some things which
your stomach won't digest. Your
stomach absolutely refuses to accom
modate you when you eat certain
food so you have been forced by your

tested, and pass up those delicacies
that you would have really enjoyed.
There Is now a way to eat any
thing- you like, if you will let
Kodol digest it.
Kodol will do this, too. It won't
talk back or command, but will go
right ahead with its work and diyest,
all tho food you eat. Kodol will let

Kodol is composed of exactly the

Two ridges of earth are thrown tip

of kerosene (after removing it from
the fire), and beat it or whip it like
beating eggs or, better, churn It
around through the spray pump,
about five minutes, when It will as
sume a thick, creamy mass, and will
be a permanent stock emulsion, from
which you can take a supply to mix
In water when needed. For this
take one part of the stock emulsion
to ten parts of water, and this will
make about eight per cent actual
kerosene In the dilute emulsion. By
this treatment ' the kerosene loses
some of its original qualities, and
does not float on the water, but be
comes absorbed In It and does not
do the injury to vegetation that It
would if the pure kerosene were
used on foliage. At the same time
It Is also strong enough to kill such
pests.
"The wooly aphis also , works on
tho roots, often causing serious de

are discovered they can likewise be
treated by painting with strong soap

powdered tobacco dust, and then re
placing the earth. The fertilizing,
value of tobacco dust will alone be
sufficient to justify this work."

The State Board of Forestry has
sent out fire warnings which are be
Ins posted In every county In the
state. The officers of the board are
determined to strictly enforce the
law and make Its violation a matter
of nubile Importance. Most fires
come from carelessness or a total
disregard of the rights of others and
the public good. The regulations
which have been adopted are from
an act of the legislature passed In
1907. These regulations should bo
read carefully by every citizen for

Testing Mills.
In some sections many of the best
dairymen are adapting the Holland
plan of combining nnd hiring me
to visit each herd one day In the
month nnd test the milk of each cow,
thus giving the owners an idea of
which cows nre the ones that are pav
ing for their keep. This plan Is n
very sensible one nnd should be en
couraged. Tho cost Is comparative
ly small, as the tester boards with
the family while he Is doing his work
and Is carried to the next place the
day he has completed his work. This
Insures regularity In the work, in
Michigan this plan has greatly In
creased the average production per
cow. Wisconsin, too. has taken np
this matter. It Is good business1 and
It may become popular, but some of
our dairymen are hard to turn from
the beaten paths of their fathers.

An answer to n correspondent
writing from' Pittsburg a few days
ago, ns to what treatment to use to
destroy tho woolly aphis on apple
trees, State Zoologitt Kurfacn gives
the following Information which Is
ublhdied for the benefit of everv-
body Interested:
'The wooly aphis on apple. trees'
generally works In spots whero the
bark has been Injured and can at
suc h places be easily killed by paint
ing with a very strong soap solution,
using a paint brush, and pushing the
soap solution well Into the cracks
of the Infested parts. If not treated
It keeps the wound sore and often
results In knots, gall or other kinds
of deformation. Where the pest has
spread to other parts of the tree,
such as to the leaves, It can be kill
ed by spraying with whale oil soap,
one pound In six gallons of water;
or common laundry or other soaps,
one pound In three or four gallons
of water; or, perhaps, best of all,
with an eight per cent kerosene
emulsion. This emulsion I recom
mend for all sucking Insects inch as
plant lice, rose leaf hoppers, young
scale Insects, etc. It Is made by
shaving one-half pound of hard soap
of any kind Into a gallon of boiling
water and stirring It until It Is dls-
