GOOD SPRAYING HINTS
Keep Orchards Clean and De-
stroy Sources of Infection.
Farmers, Fruit Growers and Garden-
ers, Should Kaap Constantly on
Outlook for Plant Diaaaaaa
and Injurioua Insects.
• (By JL E. STENB.)
Plant diseases are caused by fungi,
aacteria, careleaa treatment and un-
favorable weather. Aa in animal dis-
eases, the remedy depends, to a great
extent, on the caaae. In general, a
constitutional treatment la alwaya in
order. Good thrifty planta, well cared
for, are leaa liable to disease than
neglected onea. Keep the orchard
clean, and destroy, aa far aa practica-

ble, all sources of Infection. Many dia-
eases, aa, for example, pear blight
and peach-yellows, can be kept in
check by destroying diseased plants
or parts of jplants aa aoon as the
trouble Is noticed. Wild planta which
can harbor and propagate plant dis-
eases should be destrrced. Volunteer
apple trees growing near the orchard
are a constant source of trouble to
the owner. Thorough and Intelligent
spraying will reduce the injury arialng
from moat plant dlseaaes to the min-
imum.
The same principle applies In large
measure to the treatment of injurioua
Insects. Study the habits and prevent,
as far as possible, conditions favorable
to their propagation or wintering orer
from one seaaon to another. In treat-
ing injurious Insects and their destruc-
tion by spraya, we may divide them
into two claases: those which chew
their food, and those which obtain
their food by sucking the juices from
the plants. Nearly all Insects of the
former claaa are easily destroyed by
some form of stomach poison, while
the latter can be killed only by a
contact Insecticide.
Many people fear danger from pois-
oning by eating sprayed fruit and
planta. It is not advisable to spray
plants and fruits with araenical pois-
ons shortly before using them, but
there is no danger from fungicides.
Analyses in the chemical laboratory
at the New York experiment station
hare shown that one would have to
eat, at one time, about thirty thouaand
pounds of sprayed grapes, skins in-
cluded, in order to get a serious dose
of copper. In regard to paaturing cat-
tle in an orchard, no apprehenaion
need be felt with reference to any
apray as ordinarily applied.
The warfare against plant diseases
and inaecta varies so much with the
different conditions of climate, soil,
etc., that no hard and faat rule can
be laid down aa to the number of times
to spray, nor as to the time of spray-
ing.
The spraying should be thorough,
and yet one ahould avoid using more
than enough to cover treea or foliage
well. In spraying. It always pays to
hare a good outfit. The pump should
be large and powerful enough to give
sufficient pressure for the proper
working of the nozzle. The cylinder,
valves and plungers should be of brass
or bronze, and should be so construct-
ed as to be ealily taken apart for
cleaning and repairs. In preparing
most of the spraying mixtures, glasa.
stoneware, or wooden vessels should
be used, because the common metal
vessels sre coiroded by a great many
of the chemicals used.
INCREASING THE CORN YIELD
Investigations Show That Much ef
Seed of Low Vitality Is the Result
of Improper Methods.
No phase of the corn question calla
for more attention than does that of
securing corn of strong vitality. Upon
this depends the stand of corn in the
field, which In turn la directly respon-
sible for the yield.
In all parts of the corn belt It la
felt that the average yield Is far too
low. This low yield In most instancea
la attributed to poor seed corn.
Therefore, recognising these condi-
tions. one can readily understand why
farmers should be urged to give at*
tentton to this subject.
Investigations show that much of
the seed corn of low vitality is the
result of late harvesting and improper
methods of storing.
Corn shonld be allowed to mature
on the stalk. In this way the trans-
ference of all plant food from the
leaves and stalk to the ear is permit-
ted, and the vitality of the corn is
strongest.
Corn picked when immature is dif-
ficult to preserve, due to the large
amount of moisture contained.
However, corn should not be al-
lowed to remain too long in the field.
During the early part of November
heavy frosts may be expected.
At this time the corn on the stalk
contains a high per cent of raoistur^
and if subjected to heavy frosts has
its vitality materially injured.
Seed corn should be selected from
the stalk in the field. By this method

Women Active In Battle.
In all probability there were numer-
ous women engaged in our Civil war,
especially In the gallant South. Dur-
ing the present Mexican anarchy and
brigandage the brown women south
of the Rio Grande have followed their
men by hundreds and gone into the
fight with rifles in their hands. The
Boer women of the Transvaal fought
, beside their men in practically every
battle of both wars with England and
won many laurels by their excellence
In marksmanship and bravery. There
are battalions of Chinese women ready
to support the celestial republic. It
j is reported that female battalions are

homes from invasion. Throughout the

The stalks from which seed ears
