in the home of his cousin, Mrs
W. H. Cutshall, in Dublin town
ship. He and Mr. Gutshall spent
last Friday in thi3 place. Mr,
Walker is a Democrat, but is of
the opinion that it would save
money if the Democrats would
get out no more candidates for

other fellows gain their ends any

That Wicked Lantern.
It has not been forgotten that
the kicking over of a lantern
started the great Chicago fire
That i3 not the last and only fire
caused by a lantern, and persons
who have occasion to use them
about barn3, cannot exercise too
great care. The explosion of a
lantern on Tuesday morning of
last week, started a fire that .com
pletely .destroyed a large barn
near Boiling Springs, Cumberland
county, on a farm tenanted by
John Swartz. Most of the live
stock, and much of the contents
of the barn were destroyed.

A new but determined and ex
tensive fruit grower of Bedford
county, Pa., wrote to State Zo
ologist H. A. Surface, Harrisburg,
asking for information as to just
how to proceed to make a satis
factory lime sulfur solution by
boiling it in a kettle. He made
specific inquiry as to how the
materials should be put together
and boiled. Thousands of fruit
growers will within the next few
weeks or months need the infor
mation given in the reply of Pro
fessor Surface, which is as follows:
"I can assure you that one ket
tle is sufficient for making lime
sulfur solution all right I send
you some of my printed directions
on making it. You should bear
in mind that we have gradually
grown in our knowledge of the
subject from the time when we
advocated the old formula of
seventeen pounds of sulfur and
twenty-two of lime to fifty gal
lons of water, into the present
modern formula of the concen
trated home-made or commercial
storable solution calling for two
pounds of powdered or pulverized
sulfur to be boiled with each
pound of quick lime in a gallon
of water, for about three quar
ters of an hour, and the liquid is
then to be taken off and stored
in a barrel to be diluted and used
when wanted.
"I put the material together by
putting in a little water. Stir
the sulfur with water to make a
mush. Put in the lime and pour
this sulfur mash on top of it at
once. Then stir while the lime
is slaking. After the slaking is
done add more water, and stir it
up from the bottom and let it
boil. If there is someone at hand
it is all right to stir it occasion
ally, but I have boiled it many
times without stirring it after the
lime slaked. Do not boil one
hour, as it is liable to give it too
much sediment. Boil three quar
ters of an hour. Overboiling re
sults in a lot of thick muddy sedi
ment, which comes from a chem
ical change in the sulfur that
throws it out of solution, and con
sequently weakens the solution
and causes trouble by making
too much sediment Put the red
liquid into barrels and keep it as
long as you wish, and when ready
to use dilute with six or seven
times its bulk of water."
