Wow Late Can We Spray
With Lime-Sulphur Solu
tion For Scale
I
A BtlfcOessful commercial sprayer in
Blair county, Par., who has for some
years lieen acting upon the 'advice of
State Zoologist H. A. Surface, and
making a business of spraying trees,
just as owners of threshing machines
make a business of threshing grain,
has Just written to Professor Surface
asking "how near may the buds be
out until there is danger of scalding
by the Lime-Sulfur Solution."
The reply, which is Important and
practical, is based upon experience,
and may prove useful to mnny read
ers. "I know from observation and ex
perience that you can safely use it
until the pink of the blossoms is
seen, or, in other words, until the
blossoms are ready to expand. t
This Is true not only of apple, but
also of peach. Last year I sprayed
my peach trees after one-fourth of
the blossoms were open, and while I
.im not sure that these opening blos
soms wertl uninjured, I do know that.)
there was such a heavy crop of fruit
on the trees that 1 had to hire help
to do considerable thinning by hand,
and keep the trees from overbearing.
1 am thus satisfied that no Injury
came from the application, in which
I used the strong lime-sulfur solu
tion, made to the hydrometer test of
1,03, which is the strength now gen
erally recommended for scale. Spray
ing with this material, even when in
bloom, will not injure bees because
it contains no arsenical poison, and
the bees will not take up the lime
sulphur liquid.
Doctor Funk sprayed his apple
trees when the round pink balls of
the unopened blossoms were plainly
visible. This was after the leaves
worn nut. He destroyed the scale, i
and did not injure his trees nor the
fruit crop. This I saw, and conse-,
uuently know that I am safe In glv-
ing this answer to your very Import-
ant question. Hundreds of persons
this spring will make this same in
quiry, and 1 shall consequently pub
lish this reply, as soon as possible,
In order to aid others who are need
ing the same kind of help."
How to Prevent Injury by i
Spraying Solution 1
How To Prevent Injury 15y Spraying
Solution.
An extensive York county fruit
grower recently wrote to State Zoo
logist H. A. Surface, asking how to
avoid, and how to treat injury to the
hands by coming in contact with
strong spraying solution. This Is a
very timely topic, and somo persons
will find It quite applicable to their
own need. The answer of Professor
Surface was as follows:
"Replying to your letter concern
ing the injury to the hands of your
men who use the lime-sulfur solu
tion. I can say that thjs can be
avoided If you will direct the men to
get cheap gloves of any kind, and
drop them right into melted tallow
or paraffin. I myself use cheap
leather gloves, although I have been
told by those who have used them,
that cloth gloves treated In this way
are likewise mado impervious to the
liquid.
The hands should be rubbed with
vaseline, as should also the neck and
face, or exposed parts of the body,
before the men start to spray. They
should also protect themselves by
goggles, such as can be had for ten
cents at almost any notion store.
If the apparatus is in the proper
working order, and proper precau
tions are taken, they can spray with
out getting the liquid on their hands.
I have sprayed all day, using a strong
liquid, without injury to my hands.
To do this 1 wish to be sure, first,
that I have a good hose, a good wash-
ered stop cork, and a good extension
rod, and, next, that there is a disk
of thick leather, like sole leather,
about as large as a man's hand,
around this rod toward the top, to
Hum away any spray liquid that may
run down from the nozzles. This
is to serve as a drip disk, and I like
it better than the tin drip disk,
soldered firmly in place around be
low the nozzle, as it being pliable
permits the operator to use the rod
among the brush without catching
and tearing.
While the lime-sulphur solution
is injurious to one's hands if they
are constantly soaked, it will not
give trouble if tho operator will
take but reasonable precautions. It
Is a strong material, and must nec
essarily bo strong In order to db its
work of killing the scale. Where
one has been injured by the mater
ial burning his skin. It is best to
apply some healing ointment or
vasollno, and bandage the part, so
as to prevent further wearing upon
the place where the skin has been
made thin by the liquid.
You can spray any trees until the
blossoms are opening, but you can
not spray after the blossoms have
expanded, without danger of de
stroying your fruit crop."

The officers of the Correspondence
Institute of America, Scranton, were
brought before the United States
Court of this district at Harrlsburg
Alonday, May 8, on a charge of us
ing the United States mails with in
tent to defraud. The officers of the
Institute, Lowis Conrad, president;
Conrad Lotz, secretary, and W. M.
Bingham, business manager, were
arrested on December 15, 1910, and
given a hearing before a United
States commission on February 15
in Scranton. Over seventy witnesses
will be. present from all parts of the
United States from Maine to Okla
homa. The three officers were given a
hearing before a United States Com
mission in Scranton on February 14
and were held to await the -action of
the Federal district court. The In
stitute has been doing business for
the last eight years. It claims to

Threa Hundred Hidden Lights
Illumine Pulpit of Cathednl

,nB splendid Cathedral of St. John
of erection on Mornlngside heights. New "ioi-K. for nearly twenty
years and Is not nearly completed, but is fur enough along to be dedi
cated. Is in inanv respects different from the famous cathedrals of the
old world. Those noted structures all hnve dimly lighted chancels, while tho
pulpit in tho Cathedral of St. John the Divine is brilliantly illumined by !!00
tungsten electric lights. These lights are so arranged that they will not be
seen by the congregation, but their radiance will keep tho pulpit in a brilliant
light. The. system of lighting was devised because chandeliers would not con
form to tho architectural effects of the Interior. The picture above was made
solely by the light of the regular illumination of the puluit. Many of the
lights are behind reflectors Installed across the oerspiing of the arch, while
the rest of the lamps are behind the columns supporting the dome. TheRe col
umns are ninety-five feet hlgii, and the dome has a helcht of 130 feet. To put
the lamps In place the workmen swung In a boatswain's chair from a spike
driven in the top of the dome. More than $:t,500,000 has already been spent
on the cathedral, and the work Is going on as rapidly as funds are available,
anyone who is recommended at the
beginning of their correspondence
course. Tho institute Is familiar as
advertising In the general magazines
with the use of a comic cartoon and
requesting anyone to reproduce the
picture as a test of ability as an
artist. The advertisement says
Copy Mo and Win a Prize." When
the copy is sent in the applicant is
offered a prize in the way of a spec
ial rate scholarship In the school.
After pursuing the course for a short
time the student becomes dissatisfied
in many cases and on endeavoring
to quit the course is compelled to
continue his installments for tuition,
it is alleged.
As indicative of the quality of the
school are the facts brought out in
the hearing at Scranton. It was
shown that while the school has
7,000 students enrolled It has not
graduated over seventy-five of its

Among tho witnesses wh'o will
testify against the officers of the cor
respondence school are many poor
people who have endeavored to bet
ter their condition after reading the
ilowery circulars of the Institute.
The Institute was before the
grand Jury once before several years
ago when the International Corre
spondence School of Scranton was
the prosecutor. The case was drop
ped. The Investigations which led to
the arrest were carried on for a long
time by Inspector A. C. Earshaur
and W. M. Caovert, both of Phila
delphia. Mr. Caovert said Saturday after
noon that tho case would be one of
the longest and hardest fought
criminal cases ever before the local
Federal district court. Tho case
will be before the Federal court for
about two weeks.
THY IT AGAIN.
When the world looks blue,
and
you ve lost your grip,
.lust take a fresh hold and avoid the
old slip;
The darkest cloud has its lining of
gold,
So take on new courage, make bat
tle, be bold!
When others sink drowning it's the
fighter who swims
He pushes aside all the troublesome
whims,
And forges ahead with success his
sure aim,
While his friends, ever ready his
courage acclaim.
So this lesson well heed, ere you die
in despair,
That who falters will fall; 'tis the
brave wins the fair,
And at last when you've won, re
member the day,
And admonish your friends it's the
happiest way.
Then try it again life's too short to
say quit;
It's a lesson to others to exhibit
pure grit.
And the progress you make shows
others the road,
While it cheers the faint-hearted and
lifts ihelr aad load.

A Drop of Water.
Figures are sometimes Impressive
simply by being so stupendous that
the human mind grasps them with
difficulty. An instance in point is af
forded by the illustration once offered
io his hearers by an eminent scientist,
who, in order to bring to their com
prehension the Idea of ultimate parti
cles of water, stated that if ho was to
empty a tumbler containing half a
pint of wnfer, letting out each second
a number equaf to 1,000 times the
population of the earth, it would re
quire somewhere between 7,000,000
and 47.000,000 years to empty the tum
bler. Lord Kelvin lias assured us that
if a drop of water was magnified to
the size of the earth the particles
would be between the size of cricket
balls and footballs. If that statem6ht
Is correct the drops of water in nil the

When Baronets Were Bold.
It was In the reign of good King
James that baronets first came into
existence. Today you could hardly toll
a baronet from a banker. But In the
year 1011, when James I. needed ready
money and created 2Q0 "little barons"
to supply him with cash, they swag
gered about In their baldrics and sash
es and behaved in the courtliest of
fashion. Each baronet In order to
justify his title had to maintain a
small army of thirty soldiers for three
years. In this way the crafty king
not only Increased his revenue, but
actually lightened his expenses.
It Is not generally known that tho
title of "baronetess" has twice been
bestowed on women. One of these was
tho mother of n Dutcli general. The
other was r Nottingham lady named
Dame Maria Bolles, who won her way
Into the good graces of Charles I. and
received the title from his hands.

KOUK-LEAF CLOVERS.
I know a place where the sun is like
gold,
And the cherry blooms burst with
snow.
And down underneath Is the loveli
est nook.
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
One leaf is for hope, and one Is for
faith,
And ono is for love, you know.
But God put another in for luck
If you search, you will find where
they grow.
But you must have hope, and you
must have faith,
You must love and be strong, and
so
If you work, if you wait, you will
find the place
Where the four-leaf clovers grow.
