Beworralic {atc Bellefonte, Pa., July 22, 1898. La— FARM NOTES. To Kill Insects, Tree Lice, etc. Dr. Fernald, of State College, who is now state zoologist, gives the following facts in relation to fruit and foliage des- troying insects, and the best manner of getting rid of these pests. SPRAYING AND HOW TO SPRAY. Insects do muci: more damage now than fifty years ago. This is due to several causes. Many forms belonging to Europe have found their way to this country, and, like the English sparrows, have become very abundant. Many are more injurious here than in their native lands, as other insects, which attack and kill them there, have not been able to reach this country or have been unable to live here. Then, too, farming to-day is much more in the line of special crops than it used to be. Instead of a few fruit trees on a farm, we may have a thousand ; instead of a potato patch, we may have acres. In one New England town 1,000,000 quarts of strawberries were raised in a single year. One wheat field in California, covered 36,000 acres. These examples show that instead of fly- ing miles to find food as in years past, food is plenty and nearby, and if we add to this the great destruction of birds, the farmers’ friends, for their feathers, we find that the great increase in abundance of injurious insects during the last quarter of a century is fully accounted for. The time has come when every one who raises crops of any kind, must be prepared to fight these insects and protect himself from loss as far as possible. To do this something must he known of the insects themselves, as different insects must be treated differently. Some feed by eating the leaves ; others hore into the wood, and others suck the juices of plants. For those that eat the leaves, Paris green or London purple, either dry or mixed with water, is usually the best, though in each case care must be taken that the poi- son be not so strong as to hurt the plant it is put on, as well as the insects. Borers usually only lay their eggs on the bark of the tree and the young borer eats into the wood. Here no poison can reach it and the only thing to do is to cover the bark with some substance, so that the in- sect will not lay its eggs there. For sucking insects no poison to be eaten will do any good, as they only suck the juices, and the use of something, which can be sprayed over the tree, which is strong enough to kill every insect it touches is the only treatment left. The following directions for treatment by these methods are given both in parts and for a barrel of fifty gallons. FOR INSECTS EATING LEAVES. PARIS GREEN, DRY. Paris Green (very finely powdered) Flotr oF PIASIET, vsesveersre virions vs fied Mix thoroughly, put on thinly and even- ly ; best when dew is on the plants. PARIS GREEN, WET. Parts. Per bbl, Paris green,.... Lib, Qortiime 141b. Water Loins cuiidiiinneii rior 200 gals. 50 gals. This is too strong for the peach where 2} oz. each of Paris green and quick-lime should be uscd instead of } 1b. Keep the mixture well stirred while using. To make it, mix the Paris green and the lime and add enough of the water to slack the lime, stirring while hot, then add the rest of the water. Good Paris green gives far better results than the cheaper grades. LONDON PURPLE. This can be used instead of Paris green in the directions above, but is more liable to burn the leaves. FOR BORERS. Borers, which like the apple tree borer and peach borer, usumally lay their eggs near the ground, may be prevented from doing this by placing wire mosquito net- ting around the base of the tree, like a cone, sinking the lower end in the dirt and fitting the upper end close to the trunk about fifteen inches from the ground. Whitewashing the trunk down to about three inches below the ground, with one table spoonful of Paris green to every pail of whitewash is also a good preventive, though not always succcessful. FOR PLANT LICE, SCALE INSECTS, ETC. As these insects to be killed must be actually touched by the poison it is much hardér tosuccessfully destroy them. Plant lice are soft bodied and the weaker mix- tures are strong enough for them. Scale insects, however, are usually covered by a hard shell, and poisons strong enough to reach them through this shell, will fre- quently injure or kill the plant, unless used in winter. KEROSENE EMULSION. Parts, Paris Hard soap (shaved fine),............ 1b. Water, . tere 2 gals. Kerosene, . 3%gals. Dissolve the soap in the water, which should be boiling, and while it is very hot pour the suds into the kerosene; then churn it with a spray pump till it changes into a creamy mass, then to a soft but- ter-like substance. This should keep for some time. When it is wished to use it, add one part of it to nine times as much water, mix well, and spray the plants. The water should be soft water, or else have some soda added to it. This will kill plant lice and many scale insects as well as other sucking insects. WHALE OIL SOAP. Parts. Per bbl. Whale oil sonp,i.cccnniiniiviciiiassd 2 lbs. 80 lbs, Water... iin; 1 gal. 40 gals. This is much stronger than kerosene emulsion and should only be used during the winter, when the trees are not grow- ing. If can be used for insects which can- not be killed by kerosene emulsion. SPRAYING MACHINES. A good spray pump should be owned by every farmer as it is not expensive and will pay for its cost many times over. Most hardware dealers either keep them or will get them. A good nozzle such as the Termorel, McGowan or Nixon, should be used and an attachment for keeping the mixture well stirred in the barrel is made to go with most pumps. Straining the mixture used, into the barrel through a fine wire strainer, will prove an ad- vantage. The above are general methods of treatment, and while sufficient in many cases will not do for all. In case of doubt as to what to do for any pest, the Economic Zoologist, Department of Agriculture, Harrisburg, Pa., should be consulted. —Scheele’s green is better than Paris green and costs only half as much per pound. —For red spider, often troublesome to house plants, use flower of sulphur, 1 ounce to a gallon of water. In Heavy Marching Order. I think it was Watts who said : Man wants but little here below, Nor wants that little long. Much as we all revere Watts and place him next to the prophets because of his numerous contributions to the hymn hook, here is one place where I think he has fallen into an error, perhaps through the thoughtlessness of a word. If he knew man he certainly knew that he wants all he can get ; wants more than he can use; wants it all the time, and wants to hold onto it forever, if possible. It is probable that if Watts had had a chance to revise his hymn before it had become so popular, he would have changed it to ‘‘Man needs but little here below.” His use of the word ‘‘wants’’ is not strictly incorrect, but simply a trifle misleading. We read much nowadays abont the sol- diers in heavy or light marching order. When they are spoken of under the former head they are supposed to be carring all of their belongings with them, and under the latter they have cast aside for the time everything that will interfere with their rapid movement and are stripped down to their arms and necessary clothing. We read last week of the soldiers in front of Santiago, toiling over the hills for the pur- pose of driving in the Spanish ontgosts, throwing away their blankets, extra cloth- ing and everything that encumbered them in their march under the tropical sun, the burden appearing so great and irksome that they preferred to take the risk of losing al- together many of the articles which are considered absolutely necessary for life in camp rather than endure the misery of car- rying them farther. “ * Now, in a soldier’s life the necessities of existence are supposed to have been re- duced to the limit. A careful study, based upon long experience, has eliminated every possible ounce of outfit ; for it is neces- sary that he should be able to move with facility and that he shou}d not be burdened, mentally or physically, with his outfit and belongings. He must be ready to steal away in the night and carry his house- keeping, as well as his house, his grocery and dry goods store, his crockery, his fur- niture, and his bed and board, with him. But the soldier lives, moves and has his being ; he marches and works and fights and retains his strength and endurance on this meager outfit, and subsists on a quan- tity and quality of food that would be con- sidered almost equivalent to starvation by the majority of those in civil life. The vast majority of men and women in this country, and in many other countries, are always in heavy marching order. They are overloaded with clothes, with food, with furniture, and so overstocked all along the line that the burden of life is greatly increased for them. There are few of us who are not somewhat like the indi- vidual who purchased the disused sentry boxes at an auction, on the theory that they might be handy to have in the house. I heard a large merchant, a short time ago, bemoaning the loss he would incur through a temporary closing of his store. Upon be- ing asked whether it would not he compen- sated for by an increased trade when he opened again, hesaid that the people did not buy according to their needs but according to their means and inclinations ; that they always bought more than they needed, and that this surplus buying of his customers, which would be lost through lack of op- portunity to indulge it, would represent his loss by the closing. * * * You will see one man start on a journey to Europe encumbered only by a handbag, while another will think himself scantily fitted out for the journey with a dozen trunks. It is safe to say that the man with the handbag will get as much enjoy- ment and profit out of the trip as the man with the trunks. One of the secrets of pleasant traveling is to cut down the lug- gage to the lowest possible limit, and one of the secrets of comfortable living is to re- duce one’s wants and belongings to the minimum of decent existence. If yon have ever moved you have been made aware of how a house is apt to become loaded up with useless things. The average house of a well-to-do family has dishes and crockery enough to set out a table fora full company of infantry ; ithas chairs enough for the holding of a small convention; tables enough to set up a restaurant, and other things in proportion. What is the use of all these things, when less than one-third of the whole will answer all the ordinary purposes of the household ? What a waste of money is involved in their purchase and what a world of toil and worry is invovl- ed in their care! This going always in heavy marching order is one of the chief difficulties of housekeeping. With only the essentials and real comforts, it would be reduced fully one-half. It is said that one of the principal causes of obesity is the placing of too great a variety of foods on the table at once. On the supposition that the appetite may have a hankering for a dozen or more substantials or delicacies at once, food is placed on the table in pla- toons. The result is overeating and obesity which would not result were each meal confined principally to a single substantial edible, thus running the gamut of the mar- ket in a succession of meals instead of in one. Curtin’s Prediction Comes True. Pennsylvania’s War Governor Said Eleven Years Ago We Would War With Spain. Eleven years ago Pennsylvania’s w Governor, Andrew G. Curtin was inter- viewed by a reporter on the sealing dis- pute between the United States and Great Britain and the possibility of a war result- ing from it. He made answer to the effect that this country and Great Britain would never go to war again, would settle their future differences by arbitration. Then the reporter said to him: “Then you think the days of war for this country are done away with, do you, Governor 2’ ‘Now, I did not say that, nor do I think that,”” replied the former Governor. ‘‘I believe and predict that towards the end of this century the United States will have a war on its hands, but it will not be with Great Britain, but with Spain, and the real cause of the struggle will be Cuba. Cuba should by all rights be a partand par- cel of this Government ; or, rather, a pos- session of the United States with an inde- pendent government, but such a transposi- tion of i i will never be brought about without a war with Spain, and that is bound to come. Mark my word forit. I may never live to see it. I hope I won't. But you will.” His Awful Blunder. Singleton—*‘Dr. Pellet is certainly the most absent-minded man I ever saw.’ Wederly—*‘Is that so ?'’ Singleton—‘‘Yes ; he was married last week and during the ceremony when he should have placed the ring on the bride’s finger he actually felt her pulse and asked her to put out her tongue.”’—Chicago News.
