man is nut a remount omtss no act

vcar. Tbe deer law is as follows:
"It is unlawful lo take any doe or

Do Not Spray Blossoms
The owner of fruit tree who la
tend spraying their tree to prevent
drs.-a.M9 and kill the codling moth
ihtrva. are advised by Prof. Surface
of the Division of iaomo ?nmoW
of tho Pennsylvania Department' of
Agriculture not to spray tb blos
soms, but to wait nntil after tb pet
als have dropped, or more than three
fourths are down. Injury will b
caused to the blossom if they ar
prayed when open, but the spraying
should not be delayed after tha Moa-
soras have fallen. To secure lb
beat results tha spray must be ap
plied within six day after the bio,
soma fall, and a second spraying
should te done ten day or two
weeks aftr the first application t
prove effectual
The proper spraying material I
tbe Bordeaux Mixture to which aa
arsenical poison suoh a Pari grew
or arsenate of lead ia added. There
are two spraying strength for thi
liquid according to the hardinea of
the tree or plant to be sprayed.
Spray tbe apple, pear, qulnoe aad
potato with tbe strong formula which
oalls lor 3 lb bloettoo and 4 lb of
quick lime lo fiO gallons of wster,
with one or two lb of arsenate, of
lead added lo this. If Paris green 1
used, instead of thn arsenate of lead,
one third lb should be used to each
50 gul Ions.
The weak formula call for about
one halt of tbe above quantities of
bluestone, lime and arsenate of lead
ia 50 gallons of water. This i need
on peach and plum tree on aeoount
of their tender bark, sod on similar
dniicata plants. Peaob and plum
trees do not need to be sprayed Im
mediately after blossoming, but
these and tba grafts should b
sprayad for wormy trait, making
the application after tb fruit raaohs
tho size of buckshot.

NOTES FROM
SANDYST0N
There Is no doabt that a prompt
effort will be made to strengthen
tba commodities clsose of the rail,
road rate law. On Thursday of this
week a bill waa introduced by Rep
resentative Irving P. Wanger of
Pennsylvania, to correct those de
fects In the law made clear by the
recent decision of the Bnpreme ooort.
Mr Wanger I the ranking member
of the Interstate Commerce Commit
tee of tbe House, and I prominently
mentioned tbe snooeasor of Repre
sentative Hepburn as chairman of
the committee. Ha aided material
ly In framing the rate law. His bill
provides specifically that railroads
ahall be prohibited from owning
took or securities or Interest in any
other business enterprise and from
transporting any commodities, the
property of such company, wblcb
are not intended for their own nee.
Mr. Wanger has little hope ot action
on his resolution at the present sea
ion, but It is believed that Presi
dent Tsft's next message to Congress
will be so direct on this point that
bl bill, or a similar oae, will be
taken up immediately.
The sixteen battleships of tba At
lantic fleet will-leave the navy yards
on Juae 15th radically changed in
outward appearance and will be in a
condition for action which ha not
heretofore prevailed in time of peace
and whon there was no prospect of
war. These important chacgos ate
mainly tbe result of experience
gained during Ine circumnavigating
cruise of the fleet, which Secretary
Meyer saya cost the government (1,
608,000 above what would have beon
the cost of maintenance and opera.
tion had the ships remained in home
waters. Navul strategists look upon
this ext. a expense as a premium paid
for the benefit of increased naval ef
ficiency and as representing an in
vestment most useful in improving
the hitting power of the naval arm.
The must conspicuous change
wiiich the civilial observer will rec
ognize is in the color of the vessels.
The bull, small boats, and indeed, all
of the exposed portions will be of a
shade described aa a dull gray, with
out the lustre to reflect tbe snu or
otherwise add to the oonspicuousness
ot the ship. It is tho color decided
upon by the experts as least likely to
attract atteution and as possessing
tha greatest degree of invisibility.
In carrying ont this idea all of the
bras fittings, even to tbe door knobs
have been removed and the bow or
aaaaent and gilt letter of tbe ship'
name have been abandoned.

Treatment of Seed Potatoes
to Prevent Scab
Tbe subject of the treatment of
seed potatoes to prevent scab was
bronght to the attention of the Divio
Ion of Eaonomlc Zoology of the De
partment of Agriculture of Pennsyl
vania by Mr. R.J. Belt of Wells
ville, York Co., Pa., Treasurer of
the Wells Whip Company. Mr Belt
treated bis potatoes of bichloride of
mercury, naving dissolved 9 ounces
of oorrosive sublimate in 18 gallons
af water. Three times this quantity
of the mixture was used on iO bush
els of potatoes.
State Zoologist H. A, Surface re
plied that he prefers formalin to cor
rosive sublimate for potato scab
treatment. This is because the for
malin, or formaldehyde, dissolve
immediately in water, it being a
liquid iteelf when in the cimmeroial
form, and It does not corrode any ma
(rial by eo niing in contact with and
drying upon it as the corrosive sub
limate might do. After having killed
tbe disease germs it evaporates and
is gone, so that no evil after-effects
can com from it. It is quickly aud
easily prepared, and its action upon
one's hand will not be anywhere
near aa serious aa the corrosive sub
limate solution.
To prepare the mixture put thirty
gallon of water into a barrai, to
which add one pint of the formalin
solution. This about equals one-hall
ounce to a gallon. This may appear
weak, bat it is ttroag enoueb to de
stroy the scab germs. Put the pot
toes in bags and tbe bags into bar
rels, and pour enough of the fore
going solution of formalin and water
into tbe barrel to cover tho bugs and
let' stand for an hour. After that
take the potatoes out of the bags and
let tbem drain Oilier potatoes can
be put in the bags and immersed for
the treatment. Tbe liquid can ho
used again and again as long as any
remains. It should be kept covered
to prevent escape ol the fnmes or
evaporation, aud it would be well U
strengthen it occasionally by adding
a little more of the solution. Tho
potatoes can be treated either before
or alter cutting, but if they are not
to be planted coon, dipping before
cutting is lst liicy cau be dried
in crate or in birrcls, or spread on
the tarn floor, alter the same has
been swept completely and saruhbed
witb a solution of the formalin or
bichloride, whichever is being used.
