Profit 111 Sweet Peas.
How a high shool boy develop
ed into an enterprising business
man, specializing in the c.ultiva
tion of sweet peas is entertain
ingly told in tho April number of
Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Placed in chargo of tho home
garden, he planted a small patch
of sweet peas for tablo Uowcrs.
They grew so luxuriantly that
thousands were given to neigh
bors or thrown away. A neigh
bor suggested that he sell those
io didn't use. A florist agreed
to take all ho would bring, giving
lim instructions about preparing
them for sale. That year ho re
ceived nearly $100 for his Uowers.
jast year ho cleared $800, mean
time studying up on sweet pea
culture.
Ho had been planting ordinary
home grown seed, but this year
ho bought seed in California,
planted early and late varieties,
picked his llowers with more Care
arranged them according to col
ors, made his bunches neat and
uniform and at the height of the
season sold as many as 25,000
blossoms a day. They were tied
in bunches of 28.
At tho season's end the plants
were allowed to go to seed, and
this seed ho sells to dealers for
lome vea patches. Now the
young llorist is building a green
houso to grow sweet peas in win
tor and further mcrease his in
come. Next year he will have
about two acres in sweet peas
and expects to clear $5,000.

iow to Prevent Injury by Spra)lflj So
lution.
An extensive York county fruit
grower recently wrote to State
Zoologist, II. A. Surface, asking
how to avoid, and how to treat
injury to the hands by coming in
contact with strong spraying so-
ution. This is a very timely
topic, and some persons will find
it quite applicable to their own
need. The answer of Professor
Surface was as follows:
"Replying to your letter con
cerning tho injury to the uanus
of your men who uso the lime'
sulfur. I can say that this can
be avoided if you will direct the
men to get cheap gloves of any
kind, and drop them right into
melted tallow or paraffin. I my
self uso cheap leather gloves, al
though 1 have been told by those
who have used them, that cloth
gloves treated in this way are
ikewise made impervious to the
iquid.
The hands should bo rubbed
with vaseline, as should also the
neck and face, or exposed parts
of the body, before the men start
to spray. They should also pro
tect themselves by goggles, such
as can be had for ten cents at al
most any notion store.
If the apparatus is in the prop
er working order, and proper
precautions are taken, they can
spray without getting the liquid
on their hands. 1 have sprayed
all day, using a strong liquid,
without injury to my hands. To
do this I wish to be sure, first,
that I have a good hose, a good
washered stop cock, and a good
extension rod, and, next, that
there is a disk of thick leather,
like sole leather, about as large
as a man's hand, around this rod
toward the top, to turn away any
spray liquid that may run down
from the nozzles. This is to serve
as a drip disk, and I like it better
than the tin drip disk soldered
firmly in place around below the
nozzle, as it being pliable permits
the operator to use the rod among
the brush without catching and
tearing. -
While the lime sulfur solution
is injurious to one's hands if they
are constantly soaked will not
give trouble if the operator will
take but reasonable precautions
It is a strong material, and must
necessarily be strong in order to
do its work of killing the scale.
hereouehas been injured by
the material burning his skin, it
is best to apply some healing
ointment or vaseline, and band-
ago the part, so as to prevent
further wearing upon the place
where the skin has been made
thin by tho liquid.
You can spray any trees unti
the blossoms are opening, but
you can not spray after the bios
soma have expanded, without
danger of destroying your fruit
crop."
