SPRAYINH AH A BUSINESS.
Should Ilo Rend by nil Grower of
1 Fruit.
Thcro is a demand 'n every agri
cultural district for somo enterpris
ing person to tnko hold of tho spray
ing business nnd thereby establish
himself In a profitable means of live
lihood. A leading manufacturer of
Central Pennsylvania recently asked
for the opinion of Prof. H. A. Sur
face, tho State Zoologist, in regard
to this mnttcr, and the following Is
what tho Professor wroto In reply:
"I agree with you that thero la
considerable profit in operating a
spraying outfit. The great dlfllculty
seems to be that whllo the incidental
cost of spraying is not great, per
sons who would be willing to do the
work, at a net profit of from threo to
five dollars per day, do not have
money to buy the outfit. There are
many laborers who would consider
this excellent wnges, and would bo
quite willing to do the spraying, but
do not havo tho means. Yet a man
with money, and established In other
business, will not nttempt to mako n
business of spraying trees for hardly
any price. It must be acknowledged
that it Is very disagreeable work, yet
I think It no worse than that of an
engineer or fireman, and not as bad
as mining and a great deal of other
work done readily by people In thlB
State. I havo for some time advo
cated a good public spraying outfit
operating in each township In tho
State, and I nm satisfied that If it
be done by one who understands his
business, and who Is careful to do
it right, thus obtaining good results,
tt would continue to be mutually
profitable to all persons concerned.
"I know of no one In your locality
who Is doing this, although In some
parts of the State it Is now being
done with gratifying results. I
could tnke the average orchard nnd
spray it for half of the .excess profits
above what tho owner has been re
ceiving by the old method, and could
make considerable for me and for
him also in the way of absolutely
clear profit. This is real value pro
duction, because there are more
and better fruits on sprayed trees
than on those that are unsprayed.
"The outfit for this purpose should
consist of a good power pump and two
long leads of hose with nozzles, and
also a boiling-kettle and a cart for
pulling tho apparatus. A one-horse
wagon would do for this. The best
power for such a pump would
doubtless be a gasoline engine, but I
would certainly recommend nothing
less than a horizontal cylinder pump
working by a vertical lover that
would have a horizontal swing, or, in
other words, swing to and fro, in
stead of up and down. The hose
should be heavy, three-ply hoso with
at least thirty feet to each lead,
and each carrying two good nozzles,
like the "Mlstry Junior," "Friend"
or the '"Brown." The boiling ket
tles may be ordinary galvanized
Iron, or even large-sized washtubs.
"The charges are sometimes by
the day, sometimes by the gallon,
and often by the tree. I know of one
man who charges from 10 to 75
cents per tree, according to the size.
The latter price includes pruning.
It seems to me that a proper method
of establishing a charge would be
for the operator to try It, and keep
a record of the amount and value of
material, and the value of the In
vestment, and nlso his own time,
and charge such an amount as will
allow him a fair profit, when these
features are all considered. It Is
certain in my mind that spraying
is one of the occupations that will
give really good profitable returns,
both to tho employer and the em
ployee. A Mr Detail.

township, Luzerno county, on Friday
and Saturday afternoons, was a
great success. Prof. Finn of the
HOW
i State Department of Agriculture ' nn" 18 consequently not to be recom

The spraying of trees, the mlx
! turcs for use in killing scalo and in
sects and everything connected with
fruit raising was made plain by tests,
The specimens submitted by the
farmers wero examined and deter-j
mined, and a cure recommended.
Prof. Finn said: "The competition
in fruit raising Is getting greater
each year. The pests are getting
more numerous, too. I find five sects
of pests in this section. The Coccldae
Insects are among our most destruc
tive pests, for the reasons ( 1 ) that
' they are so small as to escape ob
servatlon until after they have seri
ously affected tho plants on which
, they are found; (2) they live by
sucking Juices rather than eating
away the tissue of the plant; (3)
, they multiply so rapidly that they
may cover a plant or tree before their
presence Is suspected.
"Notwithstanding the serious de
struction by the insects of this fam
ily, it must be recognized that some
are also of economic value. For ex
ample, cochineal, which is a red dye
commonly used for cakes and can
dles, is nothing more than the dried
bodies of insects of this family, col
lected by scraping them from tho
. cactus plants of Mexico. Shellac,

Scalo Insects living on tropical trees,
and China wax Is also a product of
, Scale Insects of Asia. Considerable
employment is given to persons en -
gaged In the collection nnd prepara
I tion of such material,
i "The Cocclds multiply either by
bearing living young, as does the
i San Jose Scale, or by laying eggs as
, do the Oyster-shell Scale, Scurfy
Scale and others. With all species

as on young trees, cuttings, buds or
scions.
"All kinds of young Scale Insects
are carried upon the feet ot birds
or ninny kinds that alight In the
trees when the pests aro young and
moving. They are especially liable
to be transported by the English
sparrow. The American robin has
been unjustly condemned for Its In-
strumentallty In carrying scale In -

as many transported by other

I not occasionally find their way to
! the reet or any robins perched on

tho prevailing wind. They aro also
carried from plant to plant upon
leaves or twigs that would be brok-'
en oft the parent tree and thrown
or blown away, as in a storm.
"The larger Insects, such ns Juno
Bugs or May Beetles, Grasshoppers,
Butterlllos, Katydids and Bees oft
en unconsciously transport young
scalo Insects which crawl upon
them, when alighting on their trees,
Quite a collection ot Insects has been
mado transporting upon their bodies, ,
smaller Individuals, which have act-1
ually been round to be young scalo
Insects. This proves that such a
statement Is not the assertion or mere
theory. j
"Tho precaution of burning trim-)
mlngs rrom inrested trees Is not so .
Imperative with scalo insects as '
with trees infected with diseases,
such as Pear Blight and Plum Knot
In which tho germs would remain
virulent in the branches If dropped
on tho grotmd and permitted to ro
nniln there. In plain words, tho
trimmings or diseased or Infected
trees should bo burned at onco and
the knife sterilized occasionally to
prevent tho Infection, but the case Is
different with trees infested with
Scalo Insects. Thin Is not Infection
but inrestatlon. Infested trees aro
those attacked by Insects. Branches
infested with those Scalo Insects
which do not lay eggs do not neces
sarily need to be burned at tho time
or trimming, as tho pests will die
soon if the branches are cut off and
their supply of food is no longer
avnllablo.
"In this connection lt must bo
said that scalo Insects aro not car
ried alive upon rlpo fruit nor spread
from such fruit to trees or plants
where thoy would Mvo. Such a thing
is Impossible, as wo havo demon
strated with careful experiments run-
nlng through several seasons.
"When n Scalo Insect fixes upon
clean fruit It is doomed, ns it can
never frep Itself ngnln. Thus tho
laws St Oregon and Germany, de
manding tho destruction of Infested
fruits, nro unjust both to shippers
and consumers, nnd are based upon
ignoranco of the facts of the caso.

Injured or killed by Insecticides.
Since they are sucking Insects and
do not eat or chew the tissue of tho
plant, they must bo killed only by
contact Insecticides. Internal pois
ons, such as Paris Green, would not
affect them, because these do not
kill insects that do not swallow the
parts of tho plant to which they are
npplled. The Bordeaux Mlxturo is
not an Insecticide but a fungicide,
not be Injured by tho application of
the same. While tho Insects aro
young and in their free-moving
stage they are not yet covered by
their waxy water-proof protecting
coats- nnd are copsequently to bo
kllle1 bv such dilute substances as
Whale Oil Soap, ono pound In six I
gallons of water, or Soft Soap, one
pound In four gallons of water, or
Ivory or common Laundry Soap, one
pound dissolved In three or four
gallons of water, or Kerosene Emul
sion, about eight per cent, or Tobac
co Decoction, one pound In two gal
lons of 'water, or more or less mild
fumigation with Tobacco Smoke,
Sulphur Fumes, Hydrocyanic Acid
Gas or Carbon Blsulfld. While the
Insects are young and delicate these
substances can be used in such mild
proportions that the growing plants
upon which they occur will not be
Injured, but after the pests become
mature they are protected by their
waxy, woolly or scale-like water
proof covering, are not to be killed
by any contact Insecticide that will
not at the same time seriously In
jure or destroy tho green leaves
of the plants upon which they oc
cur. This explains why young Scale
Insects and Plant Lice can bo killed
by the application of mild insecti
cides during the summer time with-
1 out injury to tho plant, but for the
adult or fixed Scale insects the
, sprayer must necessarily wait until
the dormant period of the plants,
: and then treat the pests by spraying
or washing thoroughly with somo
strong contact insecticide that will
kill It but not Injure the tree or
plant upon which it is to be found.
"The home of the San Jose Scale
Is In China and is the most alarm-
I InS- Jt was taken to Japan and
1 then to California. There Is not a
use salt In spraying. It is hard on
the apparatus.
"The remedy I am now mixing
to kill Scale consists or 17 pounds
or sulphur and 22 pounds of lime,
to which I add GO gallons ot water.
This will be boiled 45 minutes. It
will pay to spray with Lime and
Sulphur even U you have no scale
! the orchard. There's no danger
ot getting too much on a tree.

An Interesting incident showing
how a llngulstlcal twist haphazardly
may bo tossed on electlfled nlr and
carried far, Is shown by condition
that coaxed one of Tumor's epigram
Into being. 'Twas summer time, a.
bunch of folks wero tommyrottlng on
tho peristyle or tho Inn at East Aur
ora. Tho little Jungle lady, Mlsn
Slmonton, tho African explorer and
ergo physician extraordinary to
Theodore Roosevelt, was asking ques
tions. This was rather a unlqu
employment for Miss Slmonton In
East Aurora; usually her Job was
answering questions. But this day
Miss Slmonton was asking questions,
so she said, "I wish somebody would
tell me Just what Is life?"
"Llfo Is Just ono damned thing af
ter anothor," was the prompt reply
of J. F. Turner.
Far down the vista of Main street
rippled the placid waters of tho
Cazanovla, a blue bottle fly made Its
toilet on the tall of a red cow over
in tho apple orchard, and Turner
strolled away unmindful of the cachl
nations emanating from an adjacent
bunch of almost-phllosophers. Thir
ty days later I saw the epigram peer
ing from the corner of a beveled
mirror In a Broadway hotel.
Tor (lie Muvlc Room.
No piano can possibly be heard to
advantage In a room, which Is either
heavily curtained or 13 overcrowded
with rurulture. A flood plan to In
sure the correct temperature of the
room in which the piano stands Is to
keep a growing plant there. So long
as tho plant thrives you can tell that
any changes of beat and cold thero
may be aro not sufficient to affect tho
Instrument.
Taxation tu Japan.
Tho Japanese people, according to
a Toklo newspaper, pay tho heaviest
tax per person In the world. The
Toklo paper asserts that heads of
families are taxed one-fifth of their
Income. By way of comparison It
may bo said that un Amorlcan pays
out in taxes about one-thirty-third
of his income. In addition tho Am
erican will earn about Ave times as
much as the Japanese.
