HOME-MADE VS.
PREPAID SPRAYS
According to the correspondence of
tho division of zoology of the Penn
sylvania department of agriculture,
there is considerable doubt as to tho
efficacy of some of the commercial
spraying preparations tor the control
ol' scale insects. The proprietor of a
York county nursery recently, wrote
to the head of the division. Professor
H. A. Surface, State zoologist, for in
formation as to the l"i lative values of
a eel tain brand of lime-sulphur solu
tion and the home boiled article. In
his letter lie said :
•"There is a merchant here offering
orchard brand lime sulphur solution,
manufactured by the Thomson Chemic
al company, of Batlimore, at ~i'i cents
per gallon. What is your experience
and opinion of this product as a Sail
Jose scale killer? I find, as a matter
of fact, that at a strength of 1 to 10 it
is a little more expensive than the
home made article, but the conven
ience, and saving of time and labor,
would be worth something, piovided
the commercial preparation would
give nearly or quite as good results."
The letter had a posts'iipt as fel
lows :
"Do you cou.-idor Orchard Brand
Solution Oil manufactured by the
Thomseu Chemical company as good
as Scalecide"
Professor Surface dictated the fol
lowing letter 111 reference to the above :
"Replying to your letter,asking my
opinion of Orchard Brand lime snl
phur for scale insects, I beg to say
that I know that it will do the work
if not diluted too much. I recommend
diluting it with eight times its hulk
of water, or in other words, one to
eight. Its price in comparison with
the homo boiled wash must be deter
mined by each person for himself. I
am satisfied that at the dilution uam
e l it would do as good Work as the
home boiled. Perhaps a little lime,
say from five to ten pounds per fifty
gallon barrel,should be added to make
a marker, so you can see where you
have sprayed.
"I am sure Orchard Brand lime sul
phur would be much better than 'Sca
lecide. ' I would not let the last nam
ed material be used on my trees if it
were offered fiee of charge. 1 have
knowledge of too many unsatisfactory
results from its use. The commercial
lime Milphui would be all right to use
on nursery stock and does not make a
stain on them.
"In reply to your inquiry I can say
that I consider Orchard Brand Soluble
Oil manufactured by the Thomson
Chemical company, as good as 'Seal
cfi.le.' and even better.
DROWNED AT BERWICK
ill-. John Terry, of West Berwick,
was drowned in the Susquehanna river
Mou i:t. morning at that place un
<!, i- vci sad and tragic circumstances.
Mr*. Terry was housekeeper for a
Mr. St ward and had gone to the riv
er for several pail* of water. She is
subject to heart trouble and it is the
supposition that in tilling h?r buckets
she fell into the water. Her cries
brought Mr. Steward's son. a boy 1!>
years old, and in* tried to lend aid to
the woman by holding out a long pole
This she was unable to grasp, Jaiid tho
lad ran for help, bringing back sever
al men. Tne woman had by this time
gotten into about 8 feet of water and
was rapidly becoming exhausted. The
men put off from shore in a small
boat, but when they got to the wom
an she could not be lifted into the
boat on "account of her great wieght,
about ''oo pounds.
They were compelled to drag her
tn shore. Before they could get her
into shallow water she became insen
sible and just as they were about t >
lift her fiom the water, she gaspe t
.-.everal times and died.
ON LONG HOURS.
The cost of lightiug up the borough
at this time of year is rather heavy.
Just now the light plant is kept in
steady operation thirteen to fourteen
hours out of the twenty-four, starting
up about 5:10 o'clock each evening
and not shutting down until after 6
o'clock the next morning.
All this is in striking contrast to
the time the plant was in operation
when the nights were short during
June. Then the electric light was
needed only between the hours of 8:20
p. m.and la. in. or thereabout, aud
the records at the water works show
that on several nights tho plant was
in operation less than seven hours aud
thirty minutes.

DANVILLE MA!
SELL WATER
Tlio drought prevailing since early
last summer lias reached a stage at
which the outlook is exceedingly dis
couraging. A farmer from Rush town
ship, in this city yesterday, stated
that the situation there is positively
alarming.
He knows of an instance where a
farmer is obliged to drive liis cattle
thiee miles for water. The stream
there, which supplies a number of
farms, is daily becoming lower. The
first cold wave, he says, will dry up
the |ntream and the question arises
where will those farmers get water?
The conditions are the same over all
the wide area between Danville and
Shamokin. Only a few farms have
water. For domestic purposes many
haul water a mile and are grateful
that they are able to find a supply ;
without going further. Relief can
come only in the form of a good soak
ing rain which will start the water
tunning before freezing weather sets
' in. The time is very short, however,
and all signs of rain seem to fail.
The same conditions prevail over
the entire country. The P. & R. Rail
way company is running tank trains,
hauling water into the coal regions
to supply its collieries.
Meanwhile no matter at what stage
the river may be Danville is iu no
danger of suffering any inconvenience.
We have all the water we n •. d for
our own use and have sotii" to spare.
It is learned that the P. & R. Rail
way company has its eye on Danville
as a source of supply for its tank
trains, il' the situation becomes much
more serious. Up to the present the
company has foun 1 sufficient water at
points slightly nearer the coal regions
than Danville. But the supply is nar
rowing down, while the demand is
increasing at an alarming rate.
In giving Danville consideration the
faihoad company is influenced not
only by the abundant supply but also
by the case and convenience with
which the water could be loaded onto
the tanks from the plugs, which at
several yoints stand near tie- railroad.

I TRADE REVIEW
NEW YORK. Dec. I.
Bradstrc t's tra lo review Saturday
jsaid:
Trade reports -how rather mora iv
| regularity, varying with sections re
'porting. In seasonable retail lines
I there is a renewal of the complaint of
warm weather affecting sales of wear
ing apparel, while bad roads in parts
of the Central West and the switch
men's strike in the northwest, causing
! shut downs in industry and interfer
j iug with the movement of ciops to
market and of goods to the country,
are repsonsible for quieter trade and
! interruption to normal every day act
ivities.
In purely holiday trade, rather iuor»
activity is noted, jobbing trade is
good for the advanced stage of the
; season and deliveries on spring order
. are good. In industrial lines there ara
' few signs of slackening, aside from
' instances noted. The switchmen's
' strike in the northwest and the stirkes
, of the shirt makers at. some eastern
. I cities are the only important labor
trouble?. There is some fear, how
ever, that the switchmen's strike
which is now confined to tho railroads
running from Minnesota to tho north
Pacific coast, may extend eastward
i In the iron and steel trade there is
i somo slight seasonable slackening of
i demand for finished lines of steel, fol
lowing the lessoned activity in pig
iron, but productions and shipments
i are very large—clone to recoiil, in
fact. In the shoe trade orders from
. 'eastern manufacturers are better and
a good reserve of h retofore delayed
orders is now on 1 and. I. atlier is firm
'but hides in"in better supply and
