Soft Scale.
As a guide to the owners of house
plants Infested with soft scale Insects
the following letter by Prof. H. A.
Surface, state zoologist, Harrisburg,
Pa., to a Chester county correspond
ent will be Interesting and valuable:
"The fleale of the begonia is
known as the Soft Scale, which
proves to be quite a nuisance when
not suppressed. It Is destroyed com
paratively easy by making a fairly
strong solution of ivory soap In
slightly warm rain water, and adding
to tins a little ammonia, and spong
ing the leaves and stems of the in
fested plants with a soft sponge dip
ped Into this solution. It will loos
en and remove the scales. This may
need to be repeated at Intervals of
three' ow four days, but It Is one of
the best means of keeping the pests
In check;
"This treatment can be used! for
pests of various kinds on household
plants, and It will generally give
good results. There is no exact
formula its- to the amount of soap
and ammonia to use. Sometimes
when the leaves at house plants or
the fronds": of ferns are rery badly
Infested with scale, it is advisable to
cut them o.T and burn them,, and by
the use of a teaspoonfu! of nitrate
of soda In each gallon of water,
stimulate tlia growth of the plants
and the formation of new leaves.

of limo and two pounds of sulphur,
for three-quarters of nn hour. Strain
this and either dilute It and uso It
at once, or store it In closed vessels
to be used In tho future. To each
measure of the concentrated material
add about seven measures of water.
Do not dilute too much. Be thor
ough In application. Be sure that
every speck of bark to the tips of
tho furtherest twigs is covered. Most
failures of the lime-sulphur solution
are duo to over-dilution or lnck of
thoroughness In application. When
tho wind changes, spray the samo

"If you wish to buy tho concen
trated lime-sulphur ready prepared
and ready to dilute with water and
apply as a spray when needed, you
can do this from any one of several
firms whose names nnd addresses I
shall be glad to glvo upon applica
tion. It sells at from eight to ten
dollars per barrel, and generally
should be diluted with about eight
times its bulk of water.
"The best treatment of peach tiees
is to remove tho worms or borers
around them Just as soon as possible
and mound tho soil around them to a
height of about one-half foot. I
would trim now rather than wait un

would not cut the stubs quite as short
as In spring pruning. Then go over
them in the spring again and short
en up the stubs by cutting them off;
or, If you cut them short by fall
pruning, be sure they are painted
with the white lead and oil paint. It
Is a mistaken idea that you should
not priino trees' until spring time." .

Won't you do It? 1 beg of you
to do some little thing for the birds.
There are many ways of helping
the birds; martins, blue birds, wrens
and other birds, delight in making
their nests near tho habitation of
man, and readily occupy artificially
prepared homes, such as boxes, or
even tin cans, properly shaped and
placed for them. It costs but a few
cents to build, or to have built, a
bird house; It costs oven less t
cut a hole, say an Inch square, In
tho bottom of an empty tomato
can, and fasten tho other end to a
tree or n post. Should a wren
make that his home, you will bo
repaid many times over through the
endless song of the wren. Should
a blue bird come, you will be re
paid, to Just as great an extent,
through wntching tho many and
varied movements of this bird, In
Its catching and carrying to its
young of food and In the most
touchlngly soft and gentle notes of
the birds as they talk together. One
can hardly realize the vast benefit
In this direction that can bo deriv
ed from a little effort upon his part.

Sometime ago 1 heard of an old
lady who lived and died In a New
York town; her life was- filled with
good deeds, and her friends were
many. Death had claimed her, and'
she was about to bo burled; those
who had known and loved her had
gathered to pay their last tribute of
respect. Among the many, came an
old Irish woman, bowed down with
the weight of years and hard labor,
her raiment, everything about-her, In
dicating, to say tho least that she was
a little out of place In that gather
ing. She recognized that fact too,
and stood on the outskirts of the
throng; her presence there seemed
to her to be all the return she. could
make. Some one noticed her and
suggested that perhaps she would
like to look for the last time upon
the face of her benefactress; the In
vitation was extended and she went
forward, with bowed head, slowly,
realizing that In all proualillity
she was the only one of her partic
ular faith in that gathering; she
reached the bier, and then, appar
ently remembering tho past, deter
mined in the face of all the people
to repay as far as possible, tho debt
she owed, to do hor part, and stoop

thoreroro"58 years or age. lie was
ing dotalled information on when to
pruno and spray peach trees and how
to prepare the spraying solution to
treat them. The Professor replied as
follows:
"Replying to your letter asking If
it la too late to spray peach trees, I
beg to say that trees and shrubbery
of all kinds are best sprayed for San
Jose scale and other scale Insects,
and certain other species of insects
and plant diseases, when they are
dormant or leafless, and, in fact,
both the pruning and the spraying
can be done with good results at any
time from the time the leaves drop
In the fall until the pink of tho
blossoms is Bhown In the spring.
When pruning Is done In the fall or
winter, care should bo taken to paint
the cut stubs with pure white lead
and linseed oil. I would recommend
pruning first, and spraying at any
tlmo thereafter when tho trees are
yet dormant.
