Kennedy's Formula for Spraying. Hood River, Nov. 29, 1898. Editor Glacier: Inclosed you will find the formula I used with success the past season in spraying, as follows: Dissolve two pounds of commercial . white arsenic and four founds of car bonate of soda (washing ioda) in two gallons of water and use one and one half pints to a barrel of Bordeaux mix ture (60 gallons.) The easiest way to make the solution is to put both the white arsenic and carbonate of soda in a gallon of boiling water and keep boiling about 15 minutes, or until a clear liquid is formed, then dilute to two gallons. One and one-half pints of this solution should be added to each barrel of Bordeaux mixture. If used without the Bordeaux mixture it Is liable to burn the foliage. As there is nearly always fungus to contend witlii it is recommended that the two sprays lie always combined when there is oc- chsIoii to spray for the codlin moth or other insects. If a plain solution of white arsenic were used the foliage of the trees would be ouriiea. You will notice the formula calls for Bordeaux mixture, which has lime in It. If water is used there will have .to be lime added. I used six pounds of fresh slaked lime to 50 gallons of water. First spraying just as the blossoms were falling and before the calyx . closes and every two weeks thereafter until October 1st for winter varieties. V. Kennedy. Big Kansas Orchards. Judge Fred Wellhouse, the "apple king of the world," gave the Topeka Capital some statistics of his big or chards. Wellhouse & Bon own 1,647 acres of apple trees, and the total yield this year will not exceed 4.000 bushels. Judge Wellhouse thinks the failure this year was caused by the long stretch of cold, wet weather at the blooming time last spring. The firm owns three or chards in Kansas ayoungorchard,not yet in bearing, containing 410 acres; an orchard of 437. trees planted from 1876 to 1879, and another of 800 trees, plant ed in 1890. The latter yielded ail the apples raised by Wellhouse & Hon this year. The following varieties were represented in the yield: Jonathan, Missouri Pippin, Ben Davis, York Im perial and Gano. The old -fashioned Jonathan apple is next to the Ben Da vis and Missouri Pippin in the estima tion of Judge Davis, and this year the Jonathan proved a steady winner with the Pippin. The firm recently sold the 1,500 bushels of Jonathans to a To peka commission house for $4 per bar rel. In a short time the latter firm was ottered $7 a barrel for the lot a modest profit of $3 per barrel. The firm refused the offer and are holding lor a Higher price. This will give some idea of the strong demand for good ap ples this year. It will interest fruit growers to learn of the different varieties of appks raised by Wellhouse & Bon. The name and acreage of each variety are as follows: Ben Davis 620 I York Imperial loO .Missouri nppin 441 1 winesap id Jonathan 1U0 I Maiden's Blush li Gano UhI Cooper's Early 15 It will also be of interest to note the yield of these big orchards for every year since the first one began bearing. The yield in bushels for each year is uere given: . 1830 i.. i,m ..... 8,887 l'.2,037 .....12,388 U,72i 1800..... 181(1 1892 1893 .... 1894 1805 189U ....79,170 63.U08 970 Failure 47,874 60,188 784 1881 im , 1883 18M 185 ...io,3,B 18XM f. .84,909 1887 83,790 1884 .20,062 1889 14,309 1897.. 8,7fl8 1898, about 4,000 This makes a total of 417,000 bushels of apples raised by Judge Wellhouse hi the 18 years his orchards have been bearing. The average net price re ceived for the whole yield of apples throughout the years has been 28 cents per bushel. This includes all the grades, from culls up to fancy apples. Judge Wellhouse says the demand for apples is practically without limit. In 1890, the year of the big yield, his crops brought him $3 per barrel and netted $54,000. In J880, with a very small crop, the price received was $1 per bar rel. In 1890 it took 200 bauds and 30 teams about 25 days to harvest Judge Wellhouse's big crop of apples. From Manila. Manila, P. I.. Oct. 18, 1898. Dear Mother: As a steamer leaves tomorrow via Hong Kong, I will drop you a line. I am well and have' gained alout ten pounds since we came to Manila. Am feeling line. All the boys from Hood River are well, as far as I know. We are anxiously awaiting the outcome of the conference in Paris to know our fate. We silwant to be ordered home us soon as peui is declared and other troops are sent (i relieve us, but we are willing to do our duty if we are wanted longer. I think he climate is good for some of us, but ot icr.-tdo not do so well. Those that drink are most apt to be sick. We have lest only 13 men so far. We bad a memor al service for the dead on Sunday. We honor them as much as if they had fallen in battle, as they came here to die for their country if need I. Borne or the other regiments have lost more. The boys of the different regiments have formed a base ball league, and our regiment has a fine team. An Amer ican firm has offered a silver cup for the champion club, so you see it will help to pass the time away. 1 am looking for that camera to come in the next mail, but if it don't come I can buy some views of one of the boys in H company who has a camera. I have some small trinkets I think I will send by the next through mail. I hope you got the Spanish flags I sent. I was talking to a Catholic priest yesterday while I was on guard at the church of Recolestos. He said to me, after talking awhile in part Spanish and part English, "I have sentiment that I no speak to you good English." I thought his sentiment was about cor rect, but I could judge by that about how I talk (Spanish. He said I would soon learn to speak It very well. A great many of the Spanish soldiers here say they are going to America as soon as they can get out of . the Span ish service. 1 am not a very large man but I am taller and heavier than nearly all of the Spaniards. Ben Wade is practicing for drum major and will, I think, make a good one. I will bring home some Mauser bullets to make bicycle whistles. They make fine whistles by taking out the powder and lead. Your loving son. Clarence English. The Apple as Medicine. ' From the Humanitarian. The apple is such a common fruit that few persons are familiar with its remarkably efficacious medicinal prop erties. Everybody ought to know that the very best thing he can do Is to eat apples just before going to bed. The apple is excellent brain food, be cause it has more phosphoric aicd. in an easily digestible shape, than any other fruit known. It excites the action of the liver, promotes sound and healthy sleep, and thoroughly disinfects the mouth. It also agglutinates the surplus acids of the stomach, helps the kidney secretion and prevents calculous growth, while it obviates indigestion and Is one of the best preventives of diseases or the the throat. JNext to lemon and orange, it is also the'best an tidote for the thirst and craving of per sons addicted to the alcohol and opium habit. Forest Preservation in Bohemia. After the many centuries during which the forests of Bohemia have fur nished fuel and building material for a dense population it is said that they retain nearly their primeval area. This Is due to the forethought of the government in ordainlm; that as trees are cut down others shall be planted to fill the vacancies. The wood is mostly plne. Trees are constantly being cut, but wherever a clearing is made small trees are planted the next spring. These new trees are raised from the seed In small inclosures scattered In the moun tains and are thence transplanted. To Cure Constipation Forever. Take Cascurets Candy Cuthartic. 10c or 25a. If C.

A good thing to remember, when you order goods from a department store in a big city, Is that that store does not pay one cent towards keeping up your town, your schools, nor does it pay any county tax. You are simply robbing yourself when you can get the same goods from your local dealer, who helps to pay all your taxes, besides be ing a liberal contributor to the support of your churches, public works, etc. Moro Observer.

Well, on post No. 1 the sentry yelled out, I 'Malt! who goes there." Just then the . major slipped and fell Into a mud pud dle and in a fit of anger he exclaimed: 'Jesus Christ!'
