SUMMER SPRAYING FOR
PEACHES.
A wide awake Pennsylvania fruit
grower wrote to State Zoologist H
A. Surface, at Harrisburg, and said
he was unable to find much litera-
ture on the subject of f‘summer
spraying for peaches.” He asked
for advice on this subject and re-
ceived the following reply:
The chief reason why you find
little on the subject of summer
spraying for peaches is that as a
rale this is unnecessary. The only
summer spraying that is important,
and recommended as a general rule,
is the spraying to prevent ripe rot
or brown rot. This is to be done
by the use of the self boiled Lime-
sulphur Solution, made according to
Scott,s formula and published in de-
tail in a Farmer’s Bulletin from the
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C., which can be ob-
tained free of charge by writing
there for it. According to this for-
mula eight pounds of quick lime
and eight pounds of flowers of sul-
phur are to be slaked together with
eight gallons of water for tem min-
utes, then enough water is added to
make fifty gallons. If chewing in-
sects are liable to be present two
pounds of arsenate of lead can be
added. Strain and spray. The best
strainer is the conical wire strainer
devised by me and of which .I send
you a cut. Iam not interested in its
sale, but I wish every person to use
something that will give satisfaction.
Every person who contemplates sum-
mer spraying of peaches should
write to Washington for the bulle-
tin on Scott’s formula for self-boiled
Lime-sulphur Solution and follow
the directions carefully.
There is some danger of injury to
foliage, as certain limes are stronger
than others and may make it sostrong
as to take off the leaves. Spray only
a few trees and watch the results.
Within two or three days if the leaves
are all right then the formula is not
too sfrong. If they show injury it
should be diluted more. The self-
boiled lime-sulphur contains a great
deal of sediment of fine lime and un-
dissolved sulfur, and should be stirred
frequently.
Of course, during the summer is the
time to give the trees treatment by
herself by jumping.
The
Owners’ Association was dismissed

| ciation and Mr. Jercme for the Justice.

0DDS AND ENDS.
Before ironing any woolen garment
add to the water one handful of salt,
and see how much softer it makes the
garment.
A couple of spoonfuls of borax in
the water in which they are washed
will remove leather stains from the
feet of light colored hosiery.
Put a teaspoonful of kerosene in
the starch or borax; either keeps the
irons from sticking, and borax will
give white things that new and iyory
appearance.
Be sure to get the first cockroach
that comes, and watch diligently for
his followers; otherwise a colony of
them will soon establish themselves
and your labors be greatly increased.
For dissolving carbolic acid crys-
tals for insecticide and disinfectant,
use boiling water. For household
uses, the crystals will answer, but for
medicinal uses the finer preparations
should be used.
To clean jet use the softest brush
that can be procured and remove the
dust in the most gentle manner from
the carving; then touch the jet with
little oil on clean cotton wool and
polish with a chamois. Great care
should be exercised, as the carving
on jet is brittle.
1t is sometimes difficult to keep the
kitchen paper free of grease stains.
They may be removed entirely if a
mixture of pipe clay andiwatergmade
the consistency of cream, isjspread
over them and allowed to remain
over night. In the morning it
should be removed with a clean brush
or cloth.

used for protecting bottles,zeut circu-

CORROBORATION
of interest to Meyersdale Readers.
For months Meyersdale citizens
have seen’in these columns enthusi-
astie praise of Doan’s Kidney Pills
by Meyersdale residents. Would
these prominent people recommend
a remedy that had not proyen re-
liable? Would they confirm their
statements after years had elapsed
if personal experience had not
shown the remedy to be worthy of
endorsement? The following state-
ment should carry conviction to the
mind of every Meyersdale reader.
Mrs. W. C. Burket, 315 High St.,
Meyersdale, Pa., says: ‘I gladly
confirm the pubilc statement I gave
praising Doan’s Kidney Pills two
yeass: ago. This remedy was used
in my family in a case of kidney
trouble and the relief it brought
has been permanent. I have often
recommended Doan’s Kidney Pills
to other kidney sufferer and I know
of cases where they have been used
with just as great benefif.”’

A Lebanon county grape grower
wrote to State Zoologist H. A. Sur-|
face, Harrisburg, and asked him |
whether he should spray his grapes |
or bag them. The reply of Professor |
Surface is as follows: ‘It is pos-|
sible to spray your grapes with ar-|
senate of lead and Bordeaux mixture |
and have ' good results. Use three
pounds of bluestone and four pounds
of lime in fifty gailons of water to
make the Bordeaux mixture. To
this add two pounds of arsenate of
lead. Spraying once every two or
three weeks during the principal
part of the growing season will be
sufficient, and will give you good
returns. ‘Of course, putting them
in paper bags gives excellent pro-
tection, and if a person has only a
few vines, I would recommend bag-
ging them. This is done by pinning
a two-pound bag around each clus-
ter of grapes shortly =iicr the blos-

School of Indiana, Pa., is now send-
ing out its 116 page catalogue, a
yery beautiful and interesting hook.

and in graphic text the story of
modern school life. The volume
does justice to the beauty of Indiana’s
location—it present many views of
the big modern buildings, the fine
lawns, the spreading elms, and of
tHe hundreds of earnest young stu-
dents who live and work at this
famous school:
Many interesting scenes of school
life are reproduced. They illustrate
importaut features’ of the school—
the unceasing care for the hea th and
comfort of students, the sp.c_did
equipment of every department and
the remarkable thoroughness and
practioal training for which Indiana
is famous.
Indiana’s catalogue certainly
