THE COSI OF
SPRAYING TREES
As the time is near at hand for fall
spraying, to rid trees of f.cale insects,
and as many inquiries in regard to the
lime-sulphur wash, the kind of spray
ing apparatus to use and cost of the
same, have been received at the divis
ion of the Pennsylvania department of
agriculture, the following reply by the
head of the division, Professor H. A.
Surface, State zoologist, will suffice
for all,and will be of interest to every
person in Pennsylvania owning fruit
trees, whether few or many:
"You can either make your own
lime-sulphur solution and destroy the
scale by its use, making this material
by boiling together the lime and sul
phur. or you can buy it ready made in
the concentrated form, ready to dilute
with eight times its bulk of water,and
spray on the trees and kill the scale.
It is cheaper to make it. but where
you have only a few trees, it is more
troublesome. Either form will kill the
scale if applied strong enough, and
neither will hurt the trees if applied
at any.strength whatever. The home
boiled lime-sulphur is made by boiling
four pounds of sulphur (either flowers
or flour) with five an 1 nne-half pounds
of quick lime, and water enough to
boil them, and afterward add enough
water to make the total bulk not more
than twelve gallons. Strain this well.
Tho straining is very important. Clog
ging of nozzle and sloppy work is gen
erally due to lack of proper straining.
The best way to strain is to use brass
wire cloth thirty meshes to tho inch,
setting it at an angle across the fun
nel, or built as a cone with the point
standing upright in the strainer fun
nel. "Spray the lime-sulphur wash
(either home-made or commercial) di
rectly over the trees at any time after
the leaves are off, giving them two
good coats, one from each side. Take
advantage of an opposite wind to srpay
the opposite side of the tree. Repeat
this in tho spring when the buds are
swelling.
"You can buy of most seedsmen in
expensive spraying apparatus. For
such trees as you havo at present a
complete outfit, costing not more than
live dollars, would serve the purpose.
Nearly all manufacturers of spraying
material make these small and cheap
er sprayers,which are generally in the i
form of hand sprayers, bucket spray
ers. compressed air tanks or knapsack
sprayers. The highest price that they
should cost should not be more than
ten dollars,and from some manufactur- j
ers a cheap outfit can be bought for ]
one-third this amount. Every person ;
growing oven a few trees and shrubs
should have his own spraying nppar- j
atus of tho size and power adapted to '
his needs.
"You need not expect to keep your j
trees free from scale by preventive ;
means. The point is to spray them |
when they are infested, and thus keep
the scale under control. There is real
ly no need of spraying for scale at a
time when it is not present. The
qauntity of the Ihne-sluphur solution
to be prepared, as given above, is foi >
the owner of a few trees. In regular
orchard work, it is preferable to never
make less than 50 gallon qauntity ai
one time, when tho proportions of j
materials used are IT pounds of sul- I
phur anil 22 pounds of lime, boiled to
gether as stated above. One hour of
thorough boiling is necessary. "
MAY PROVE FATAL
When Will Danville People Learn the
Importance of It?
Backache i.-, only a simple thing at
first;
But when you know 'tis from the
kidneys;
That serious kidney troubles follow;
That diabetes, Blight's disease may
be the fatal end,
You will gladly profit by the follow
ing experience.
'Tis the statement of a Danville
citizen.
Leo Metzger, 364 W. Mahoning St.,
Danville, Pa., says: ' About a year
ago 1 suffered so severely from pains
through my back that I was scarcely
able to walk anil it was difficult for
me to straighten when lirst arising in
the morning. At times there was a
dull pain across my kidneys while at
others sharp, shooting twinges would
pass through my back, being espec- .
ially severe if I took cold. The kidney
secretions were attended with a scald
ing sensation and were far too fre- ]
quent in passage. 1 read so much j
about Doan's Kidney Pills that I ,
filially had my wife procure a box for ,
me at Hunt's drug store. I had only ,
used about half tho contents when a ;
great change for the better was not
iceable. From that day to this 1 have
had no trouble from my back or kiil
*ys, despite the fact that I have done
reat deal of heavy work. My con- 1

BLOOM WANTS 10
1 BEAT DANVILLE
• The Bloomsburg Daily thinks that
there will bo a big rivalry between
Danville anil Bloomsburg in the mat
ter of tho New Year s parade. The
' Daily's characteristic article runs like
this:
"There will no doubt be a great
rivalry between Bloomsburg and Dan
- ville for tlu» largest crowds, and the
bout turnout of fantastic costumes, for
the Mummers' parade on New Year's
\ day.
"Danville usually has a big time,
and this is the first daylight parade, of
. its kind, Bloomsburg ever had,but the
committee in oharge is arranging to
make it one that needs not take a back
seat for the town at the lower end of
the C. P. & L. Co's trolley line.
' "Seven bands will be engaged for
I the parade, which should be a great
' drawing card. The prize to be award
ed although not definitely selected,will
I be handsome enough to compete for by
> any individual or organization. Re
-0 ports from Orangeville,Millville, Ben
• ton and Jamison City are to the effect
'' that almost tho entire population will
- be down, many of the citizens will be
• contestants for prizes. From Berwick,
• Espy and Lime Kidge,big crowds will
• come, while Oatawissa will send over
a large delegation.
' "With these towns to draw upon,
' j Bloomsburg's parade should make
i Danville's look like the proverbial 30
' j cents, and that is just the aim of the
j j committee."

j Some twenty members of the Berwick

j gotten up in Mr. Hoddens' best style,
I while the camp fire was marked with
t a degree of jollity and good nature
that seldom comes to the veterans in
these later days when the trials of life
| multiply so rapidly and which served
jto carry the old soldiers back in im

THE BEST TIE
TO PLANT TREES
"When Is the best time of the year
for planting fruit trees liko the peach,
apple and plum? If trees are planted
in the fall is it necessary to hill them
np over the hud?"
The above information was request
ed of Prof. H. A. Surface, Zoo
logist of Pennsylvania,by a mail resid
ing in Franklin comity,near the Mary
land line,in a celebrated "fruitbelt."
It is a sample of hundreds of similar
letters received within a few weeks.
The reply of Professor Surface was
brief and to point, as follows:
"I am well satisfied that apple, pear
and quince trees can be planted in the
fall with good advantage,and I would
prefer fall planting for such kinds.
However, in planting peach and plum
I would as soon plant in the spring, a*
early as the ground can be put into
proper order. Yet I believe t-luit fall
planting of peach and plum trees in
| your part of the State and over the
warmer portions of Pennsylvania
| would be all right and successful. It
I will be best to cut them back well at
planting, and I think it would be ad-
I visable to mound them up over (he
i bud. If they were so mounded they
j would not be liable to be killed by
I every severe winter freezing, and if
they were injured, only the upper and
j exposed part would be damaged, and
the remainder could be left to grow a
new top, which it would do very nice
ly. Cherry tiees should he planted
early in the spring—the earlier the
j better."

WON'T DIE NOW
Andrew Crawford the aged Blooms
j hurg wagon maker, says lie lias decid
ed to postpone the building of his own
coffin, for a few months as he lias not
place to store it after lie gets it built.
About two years ago, Mr. Crawford
' built his own tombstone, and had it
i rected on his cemetery lot at Sweno
da. At that time he intended to build
i himself a coffin, for as he stated, "i
I want to know, what I am buried in."
i He had secured the lumber but, being
! pressed with other work, had failed t >
I build the box, and later used the lum
! her for other purposes.
Speaking of it he stated yesterday
| morning that he still intended build
j ing a coffin but lie had 110 place to put
| it in at present, and then too ho add
ed, "people would likely call me an
| old crank, if I built it and left it
j standing about my place of business.
I 1 don't expect to die yet awhile and I
will have plenty of time to build it.

EARTH IN PATH OF COMET.
Will P»ss Through Gases of the Tail
on May 18 Next.
"nalley's comet will not only pass
across the face of the sun on May 18,
but the earth will pass through the
tall of the comet," said Director Ed
ward Charles Pickering of the Har
vard university observatory the other
day."The tail of the comet Is made
up of gases—acetylene, carbonic ami
several others. The gas will be rarefied,
so that we shall uot perceive it. lu j
case these gases were apparent to the 1
people the result would be very dis
agreeable.
"In ISGO, when another comet was j
passing, there was a great display of
shooting stars. We may have such a
manifestation when Halley's comet
passes us.
"The comet called Halley's comes
near the sun every seventy-five years
or so. Scientists knew that the comet
was due nest spring. The matter,
then, was precisely as if we knew
where a railroad was, but didn't know
where the train was on the track. So
the several astronomers began to;
watch for the comet and to figure what
time It would arrive at the sun station,
so to speak. The Rev. Father G. 11. 1
Searle calculates that the comet will
cross the sun's face May 18. and, as
he is a careful observer, his calcula
tions are probably correct."
Rrother Goodsole's Mistake.

K. Mowatt Lalgbtly, "did you an
nounce last Sunday that 1 would oc

benefit of the increased population in |

The Doctor's First Question
"How are your bowels?" This is generally the first ques
tion the doctor asks. He knows what a sluggish liver
means. He knows what a long list of distressing com
plaints result from constipation. He knows that headaches,
bilious attacks, indigestion, impure blood, and general
debility are often promptly relieved by a good liver pill.
We wish you would talk with your own doctor about
this subject. Ask him at the same time if he approves
of Ayer's Pills. Do as he snys. J.C.AuerCo.TUw-ICM™.

WANTS HER SON'S
MURDER AVENGED
Positive that her son, Samuel was
murdered, and did not suicide as de
cided by a coroner's inquest, Mrs.
Samuel Greenwalt and her daughter,
of Milton went to Shamokin Saturday
j morning for the purpose of urging
District Attorney Deibler to take up
the evidence iu her possession and if
possible clear the ugly smirch placed
j upon the family name, and if possible
arrest the person who murdered her
! son, as she alleges.
,; It will be remembered that in Octo
ber, 1907, Samuel Greenwalt,a popular
Milton young man.was reported dead
at the home of a Milton young woman
to whom he had been paying attention
i for some time.
A bullet had entered his brain anil
the story told was to the effect that he
. | had shot himeslf 011 the. porch and aft
-1! er being carried into the house, ex
' | pired.
The coroner of Northumberland
county was not notified of the tragedy
but a justice of the peace at Milton
held an inquest and arrived at tlio
verdict that the wounil was self-inflict-
The remains were buried and the
I sensation died out until one year later
when ugly rumors reached County
Detective Glass regarding the inyster
' ious death.
' He went to Milton, secured posses -
! siou of the alleged revolver used in
the killing and upon examining it,
found one cartridge discharged. It was
• a short .'i.'-calibre style.
Quietly the remains were raised
from the grave and surgeons cut iqien
the skull and found the bullet used in
the killing. It was a long U-'-calibre
missle.
This revealed additional evidence
of a deliberate mnrder. The detective
then secured more evidence. How
-1 ever, no arrests were made.
The appearance of Mrs. Greenwalt
in Shamokin may mean a sensational
arrest shortly, and another mysterious
killing may be unraveled.
Mrs. Greenwalt is convinced that
her son was murdered and she is de
termined to send the alleged assassin
to jail or the gallows.
