(By C. F. ADAMS.)
In putting out a new orchard the
grower should be careful to get trees
free from injurious insects of any
kind. It is always best to purchase
from the most reliable nurserymen,
nurserymen who fumigate their stock
before sending it out. If a nursery
man is known to fumigate his trees
before shipping them, there is little
danger of getting any of the unde
sired Insect enemies. After the trees
are planted they should be watched
closely from year to year, and any
thing of a suspicious nature should be
thoroughly examined into. San Jose
scale is quite difficult to find. How
ever, when a tree is not doing well it
should undergo a close inspection.
Anything of a scaly appearance on
the branches or twigs should not be
passed by.
If San .Jose scale is found In an
orchard It should receive attention
accordingly. Ordteiarily it can be
controlled by the use of the llme
sulphur solution, but If trees are thor
oughly infested and nearly’ dead they
should be cut and burned.
The lime-sulphur wash Is found to
bo the most efficient remedy for San
Jose scale. It is a preparation which
most anyone can prepare and Is not
very expensive. Some fruit growers
and entomologists use salt In addi
tion to the lime and sulphur In mak
ing this spray, but it Is now being
left out by many. Tn the modified
form the following proportions are
used:
Lime, 21 pounds; sulphur, 18
pounds; water, 50 gallons.
The sulphur should first be made
into a thick paste by stirring it into a
vessel of cold water. It should be
thoroughly mixed with the water so
that no dry lumps of the sulphur will
remain. The next step is to lake a
few gallons of water, in a large ket
tle, and heat It to boiling. When the
boiling point is reached stir in the
sulphur paste, and. when this is thor
oughly mixed with the hot water, add
the lime This will produce a very
violent boiling on acco-nt of the
rapid slacking of the lime in the hot
water. The higher temperature pro
duced in this way aids materially In
making this solution After the agi
tation caused by the lime has sub
sided the mixture should be boiled
for at least 35 or 40 minutes more,
adding water every now and then to
compensate for the evaporation.
This wash should be sprayed on
the trees while it is still warm, be
cause if applied cold crystals are
formed which tend to clog the pipes
and nozzles of the spraying appara
tus. The stock solution can be kept
hot by maintaining a fire under the
kettle and the spray container can be
filled from it. Where considerable
spraying is being done two or more
SHEEP ARE OFTEN NEGLECTED
No Animat on Farm More Capable of

a good opportunity by neglecting to
have sheep on the farm. Men who
do not like sheep must either learn to

Men who do like them will take care

kettles can be used In preparing the
mixture, and If very large orchards
are under treatment a steam-boiling
plant should be established. The boil
ing is accomplished by passing steam
through perforated pipes Into the
barrels. It is best to build such a
plant upon a raised platform so that
the liquid may be drained off into a
spray tank on a wagon. This will
save a great deal of labor.
On account of the corrosive nature
of the lime-sulphur wash it can be
applied only when the trees are dor
mant, otherwise it will injure the
tree.
It often happens that infestations
are not noticed until some time dur
ing the summer season and as lime
sulphur cannot be used then other
remedies should be resorted to. Un
der certain conditions the lime-sul
phur may be applied to the trunk and
larger branches of the trees, but in
no case should it come in contact with
the younger-growing branches.
a
Watch for Insects.
When ants appear upon a plant
examine it carefully, for you may
find it affected with a louse-scale or
other insects. If Infested, sponge the
leaves clean with hot tobacco-tea,
to which has been added enough soap
to make suds. To get rid of the ants
place a layer of chopped tobacco stems
around the plant, and sprinkle with
borax.
Care in Spraying.
In spraying the cows be careful
that a generous quantity of the solu
tion is put on their backs, especially
just behind the shoulders, since at
these points it Is difficult for the ani
mals to brush off the files.
Cleanliness Pays.
Disease germs and parasites find
their kindest harbor in filth. Clean
hogs are generally healthy hogs, free
of parasites. Cleanliness costs little
but effort.
Improve by Crossing.
Crossing may Improve the hogs for
the feed lot alone, but not for the
purpose of perpetuating their kind.
Cause of Thumps.
Too much feed and too little exer
cise is generally the couse of thumps.
The remedy is evident.
Faithful Helpers.
Sheep are faithful helpers In clean

disease than any other farm animal.
The sheep is the most modern ani
mal in creation. By that we mean
that he has left no fossil remains in
his own kind or ancestry. He is a
development of the last days ot crea
tion and of about the same geological
age as mankind. There Is no animal
on the farm that Is more capable of
responding to different methods of
treatment and adapting himself to
different environments than is the
sheep.
He can be bred Into almost any
thing of the sheep kind, long, coarse
wool, or short, fine wool, horns or no
horns, black or white, a big carcass
for mutton, or other modifications
have been produced, and all are
money-makers when properly handled
by the right man.
Stone Floors Best.
A good floor for dairy is concrete
or brick laid with cement. Stone floors
are best, for these can be kept con
stantly moist and the air will be much
cooler and fresher.

DRAPING MOTOR VEIL
AUTO NECESSITY HAS BEEN
MADE A THING OF BEAUTY.
Charm la All In the Manner in Which
the Chiffon la Adjusted, and
Femininity Has Made the
Moat of It
The motor car is responsible for a
lot of the most alluring little styles
that ever were. All the clever little
caps and bonnets «ire so becoming and
so comfortable there is no telling
where they will lead the feminine
world to in the matter of headgear.
When a man gets himself up for
motoring he usually looks like a
death’s-head at the wheel or a mon
ster from some other planet. You look
at him and think of dusty roads, flying
gravel and fearsome speed. But the
auto togs of women are delightfully
suggestive of pleasant drives and
jolly times.
It Is the veil that makes possible
this triumph for the gentler sex. And
here is the very latest way of wear
ing it:
It looks like the Persian veil or
wherever in the far Orient the idea

came from. You see, the goggles may
be put on with it when necessary—
and taken off very easily any time;
which Is a good thing, for no stretch
of the imagination can make them
things of beauty. Like a number of
things in this world, usefulness is
their only reason for being here;
hence they are dispensed with when
ever possible.
This veil is just a two-yard length
of veiling chiffon hemmed at the ends
and tacked or otherwise fastened to
one of the many soft caps and bon
nets that are provided for the motor
ist. If you choose to go to the ex
treme of the mode you can follow
out the oriental suggestion in the
veil and wear a turban of silk
wrapped about your head.
NEEDS OF THE SMALL GIRL
Simplicity Combined With Comfort
Should Be the Idea In Fashioning
Attire for Children.
Do not sacrifice utility and practical
usefulness to fashion, and yet secure
Individuality and artistic grace, which
is a necessary attribute of children.
Simplicity combined with comfort
should characterize the attire of ^little
people. Children are no' longer dress
ed in garments which prevent free
movement of the limbs. Material and
style are all-important. The fabric
should be soft and durable. Low price
in materials for children's wear is an
extravagance, for a cheap stuff always
looks what It is, and does not wear
well. Linens, pique, chambrays and
ginghams are all good, and they can.
be bought In tempting colors, well
worth the having.
One-piece dresses are best for chil
dren from one to twelve years of age.
They fall easily from the shoulders,
and all pinafore frocks are easily
made. Guimpes are a great invention,
as they may be changed so often to
freshen a frock. Instead of being
made yoke depth, the gulmpe should
be extended to the waist on summer
dresses. They are easily made at
home.
It Is surprising how much these Ut
ile articles cost when purchased
ready made. Lawn, tucked batiste,
swiss, dimity, lace, allover embroid
ery, cross-bar materials, nets, etc.,
may be used for guimpes. Be careful
that nothing is fantastic, for children
are very sensitive as to ridicule. They
look charming in picturesque dresses,
and all the clear, pure colors suit
them. Tans and buff color, and most
greens wash well and are cool look
ing.
New ’Shoe Buckles.
The most up-to-date shoe buckles
are ot French brass filigree with set
tings in Bulgarian colors. The prices
tor these conceits range from $3.50
to $7 a pair.
YELLOW MALINES IN ORDER
Material Extremely Popular Just Now
and Bids Fair to Remain In
Fashion Some Time.
The yellow malines girl promises to
be a feature of the world of fashion
for the next month at least. Fashion
is so fleeting that a longer period of
popularity can scarcely be promised
her. But surely this much is certain,
that the tint of yellow between ecru
and corn color, brighter than the first
and lighter than the second, is in
vogue, and is denoted on costumes by
mallne net accessories.
For the girl’s hat it is used in
ruches and folds. For her neck it
spreads butterfly wings tn bows and
floats over her shoulders in a light
scarf for the evening.
This tint Is used with white to
such an extent as to lead to the coin
ing of the phrase, “the summer daisy
girl. The tart little bow of stiff
malines, yellow of course, twisted
about the handle of her parasol with
three or four large white artificial
daisies, helps to make her in keeping
with this name.
A word more is in order about the
scarves of this flimsy, slfmsy mate
rial. They are made of' the widest
goods In the tint to be had. and are
cut very long, full two yards and a
half, sometimes three yards. The ends
are cut straight and left unhemmed,
and the scarf la worn over the
shoulders or within the cloak In as
fluffy a mass as possible, not crushed
down. The result is a rather ethereal,
wrapped-in-the-clouds effect.
Flesh tints are also popular for
these scarves, and some other shades
are used as well. The dampness of
sea nights is fatal to their loveliness,
but for those elsewhere they are
wearable and charming.
BRIEF FASHION NOTES
Cubist designs are seen even in
some of the new corset materials.
The black and white combination la
footwear continues to be liked.
The crown dent is a smart feature
of the new felts for country wear.
Chamois yellow is one of the col
ors seen among girls' topcoats.
Nothing equals white chinchilla for
the fashionable sports coats.
Gold and green is fast coming to be
one of the favorite combinations.
All lace underwear is distinctly in
the mode. Frequently such garments
are made over net.
The newest collars on the fall coats
are fastened up high at the neck to
allow for cold weather.
Draped coats are liked for dress
wear; simple, straight cut garments
for general utility purposes.
Coat chains are being made of
beads; steel Intermingled with cut
coral are favorites.
The most fashionable corset simu
lates the uncorseted figure. Stiff or
constrained lines are a thing of the
past.
