A clergyman in a neighboring town had been much annoyed by the way members of the congregation had of looking around to take stock of late comers. After enduring It for some time he said on entering the reading desk one Sunday: " Brethern, I regret to see that your attention is called away from your religious duties by your natural de sire to see who comes in behind you. I propose henceforth to save you the trouble by naming each person who may enter, and hope that tho ser vices will then be allowed to pro ceed without interruption." He then began: "Dearly beloved," but paused half way to interlopate "Mr. Stubbins with his wife and daugh ter." Mr. Stubbins looked rather surprised, but the minister with per fect gravity, resumed his exhorta tatlon. Presently ho again paused: "Mr. Curtis and William Dlggle." The abashed congregation kept their eyes studiously bent on their books. The service continued in the most orderly manner, the parson Inter rupting himself every now and then to name some newcomer. At last he said still with the most perfect gravity: "Mrs. Symons In a new bon net." In a moment he felt his mis take, but it was too late. Every feminine head In the congregation had turned around. Beautify tho Farm. May your rural house beautiful. Lay out spacious grounds around the farm house, plant shade trees, lay gravel roads and plant flowers. Don't lay up all your not earnings for the benefit of your heirs and law yers, but spend some of it In beauti fying your homo. The farmer who always shuts his eyes to the aesthetic features of his life and screws him self down to the task of making money, loses a large portion, and the biggest portion too, of his exist ence. His home Bhould be an attrac tion to himself, to his wife, and above all to his children. Unpleas ant homes in too many Instances drive the eons of farmers to tho towns, to excitement and dissipation, and to work. Such sons do not gen erally leave pleasant and beautlfuj homes. Spraying Trees and Cost of Ontllts. "As the time Is near at hand for fall spraying, to rid trees of scalo insects, and as many Inquiries in re gard to the lime-sulphur wash, tho kind- of spraying apparatus to use and cost of the same, have been re ceived at the Division of the Penn sylvania Department of. Agriculture, tho following reply by the head of the Division, Prof. H. A. Surface, Stato Zoologist, will suffice for all, and will be of Interest to every per son 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 nnd sulphur, or you can buy it ready made lnthe concentrated form, ready to dilute with eight times its bulk of wator, and spray on the trees and kill tho Bcale. 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. Tho home-boiled lime sulphur is made by boiling four pounds of sulphur (either flowers or flour) with five and one-half poundB of quick lime, and water enough to boll them, and afterward add enough water to make the total bulk not more than twelve gallons. Strain this well. The straining is very im portant. Clogging of nozzles and Bloppy work is generally due to lack of proper straining. The best way to strain is to use brass wire cloth thirty meshes to the inch, setting it at an angle across the funnel, or built as a cone with the point stand ing upright in the strainer funnel. "Spray the lime-sulphur wash (either .home-made or commercial) directly 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 spray the opposite aide of the tree. Repeat this In the spring when the buds are swelling. "You can buy of most seedsmen inexpensive spraying apparatus. For such trees as you have at present a complete outfit, costing not more than five dollars, would serve the purpose. Nearly all manufacturers of spraying material make these small and cheaper sprayers, which are generally in the form of hand sprayers, bucket sprayers, compressed al rtanks or knapsack sprayers. The highest price that they should cost. Bhould not be more than ten dollars, and from some manufacturers a cheap outfit can be bought for one third this amount. Every person growing even a few trees and shrubs should have his own spraying appara tus of the size and power adapted to his needs. "You can not expect to keep your trees free from scale by preventive means. The "point Is to spray them when they aro Infested, and thus keep the scale under control. There is really no need of spraying for, scale at a time when it Is not present. The quantity of the lime-sulphur solution to be prepared, as given above, is for the owner of a few trees. In regular orchard work, It is pre ferable to never make less than a 50-gallon quantity at' one time, when the proportions of materials used are 17 pounds of sulphur and 22 pounds of lime, boiled together as stated above. One hour of thorough boiling is necessary." Market Reports.

Anger 8hrlnks Vitality. Dr. Maurice de Floury, a distin guished Frenchman, udvances the the ory that every time ono becomes an gry his vitality shrinks. After even the most artfully suppressed sighs ot bad temper the vitality becomes small er and smaller, until finally nothing Is left Anger is a certain kind of cere bral excitement, explains Dr. de Floury. The hypersthenic subject Is always on Its verge, while the neur asthenia becomes Infuriated only by a sudden bound of reaction excited from without But at that moment when they are let loose the two are alike, save that the strong man Is a blinder brute,, .while the weak man ,1s somewhat of aa actor and seems tq aim at effect. A Grand Innovation for Fanners. it is Important to the readers ot this paper to know that the Division of Zoology of tho Pennsylvania De partment of Agriculture contem plates establishing a number of Model Orchards in this State (there will bo about five in each county), the ob ject being to direct, in each fruit growing district, the care of an or chard In an up-to-date manner, to show tho public how to obtain the best results, especially In pest con trol. Fruit growers or farmers who will co-operate In this movement, by per mitting their orchards to be used for the purpose, Bhould write at once to Prof. H. A. Surface, State Zoologist, Harrlsburg, Pa., for Information on the subject. ' It is not proposed to take an old and totally neglected orchard and bring about a complete transforma tion, but to take under supervision ono that Is In fair condition, and as sist the owner with expert advice and attention in regard to all matters pertaining to tho management of tho orchard and tho suppression of pests. It Is believed that the value of the example of one successful man in a neighborhood Is beyond computation. Should the methods In his. orchard provo to be the best, as shown by indisputable returns of larger yields and better products, it Invariably results in other persons adopting the methods which have proved most successful in that locality. The owner of the orchard adopted by the Division of Zoology will be asked to provide himself with a comparatively Inexpensive spraying outfit, which the Division will help him purchase at the lowest discount price. The Division of Zoology will outline a plan for his orchard man agement, and furnish, without charge, all materials used for in struction and demonstration pur poses, and also of fruit, planting trees, cultivation, fertilization, and such .other practical work as may be necessary to secure the best results. The public will be invited to visit FALL OPENING. The need of heavier garments is as insistent as we are about hurry ing you male folks here.
