eWheri to Spray and What For.
All the spry mixtures it is pos-
sible to use on a tee° will pot do
meal good unless the right applica-
tions are made at tho right thio.
Those directions will tell just when
to spray and what for,
Spraying Apples. -Four or five
aprayinga aro necessary, depending
on the season and how badly the
orchard .is infested with insects and
disease.
First spray: Apply just after leaf
buds burst but before bloesoms open.
Use either Bordeaux mixture 4-4-50,
or commercial lime -sulphur testing
32 deg. or 33 deg. Baume diluted 1
to 40. (See next article. for Sires-.
tions for making Bordeaux mixture.)
Add two pounds of lead -arsenate to
each fifty gallons of the spray mix-
ture. This spray is for control of
scab, curculio and canker -worm..
Seemed spray: Just after the blos-
soms fall use same. materials as for
first spray, This .is for control of
the codling moth,and must be ale,
plied with a great deal 0 force. A
power sprayer is best.
. Third spray: Two or three weeks
later than second spray. Same mat-
erials as for first spray. If blotch
is bad in the orchard, use,Bordeaux
mixture 4-6-50 instead of lime -sul-
phur; add two pounds of lead -arsen-
ate to fifty gallons of spray material.
Fourth spray: Nine weeks after
the third spray. Use same material
as for first spray. This is for .con-
trol of scab, brown rot and second
brood of codling -moth.
Fifth spray: This is necessary only
where blotch, black rot, bitter rot
and other fungus diseases are
troublesome. Use salve materials as
for third spray and apply two weeks
after fourth spray.
Pears and Quinces need the same
general treatment as apples, except
that when line -sulphur is used it
should not be quite so strong.
Spraying Plums. -A dormant
spray of lime -sulphur is applied for
San Jose scale any time during the
dormant season. During the grow-
ing •season several sprays are nec-
essary.
• First spray: Just before blossoms
open apply Bordeaux mixture 4-4-50.
Add two pounds of lead -arsenate to
each fifty gallons 0 spray material.
This is for control of brown rot and
curculio.
Second spray: Just after blossoms
fall use same materials as for first
spray.
Third. spray: Same materials as
second spray, three weeks after
petals fall.
Cherries need the same general
treatment as plums.

How to Make Spray Mixtures.
To make Bordeaux mixture take
four pounds of copper sulphate, four
pounds of quicklime fifty gallons of
water. Dissolve the copper sulphate
by putting it in a coarse cloth bag
and suspending the bag in a barrel
partly filled with water.
Slake the lime .in"a tub and strain
the milk of lime into another tub or
barrel. Pour the dissolved copper
sulphate and the milk of line into
the Sprayer tank, or into a supply
tank, at the same time. Add enough
water to make fifty gallons.
For 'Bordeaux 4-6-60 use six
pounds of lime instead of four.
To make self -boiled lime -sulphur
8-8-50 referred to in the first article,
use eight pounds of unslaked litre;
eight pounds of flowers of sulphur,
PrAalmea

fifty gallons of water. Plage the linie
in a barrel and add almost enough
water to over the lime. When the
lime begins to slalee add the sulphur,
which should be made into a Paste
by . nixing it with water. Stir the
cooking' mixture and add water as
needed to keep it in the form of a
thick paste, which, ,should become
bhinnee as the mixture coolie. In ten
or fifteen minutes the heat frem the
slaking lime will cook the mixture
and enough cold Water should be
added to make fifty gallons., This
is the standard . summer spray for
peached.
Ilow To Get Stand of Alfalfa.
Getting a stand of alfalfa is most-
ly a question of soil, If the soil is
right your efforts will be crowned
with success. Generally, the problem
is to make alfalfa succeed after you
get the stand. Alfalfa requires a
moderately dry soil, -well drained
even durieg rainy weather.
If the sail becomes water-logged
for many days the alfalfa will be-
come yellow and unthrifty. It needs
moisture, but it likes to have . the
moisture in the air and soil at the
same time. 'This is the reason alfalfa
does better in well -drained soils, -
Although drainage is a big essen-
tial in successful 'alfalfa growing, an
occasional overflow of a 'creels or
river will do no harm if it comes
during the winter, or i£ the water
is moving in summer. '
Alfalfa will not thrive, nor; even
live long; without bacteria helping
it. It dlas become used to then and
depends upon them. Alfalfa -promot-
ing bacteria will not live in all ,soils.
Carbonate of lime makes the alfalfa
or nitrifying .bacteria thrive. They
do not seem 'to be able to live with-
out it.
While it is not known 'definitely
why carbonate of lime -makes the.
nitrifying bacteria do so well, many
alfalfa growers advance the theory
that alfalfa plants give off certain
substances which are . poisonous to
the plant. That is, the alfalfa roots
give off a poison that is injurious
to itself and to other alfalfa roots.
When there is moth carbonate of
lime in the soil this poison is 111 some
way neutralized and the alfalfa is
kept in health and vigor.
In addition to making the soil a
healthful home for good and useful
bacteria, carbonate of lime' con-
serves humus and stops a waste of
nitrogen. When plants decay in the
soils nitric acid is formed This is
soluble and, unless taken up by the
plants, soon leaches away. If there
is a supply of lime present, the nitric
acid unites with the lime to form
calcium nitrate. This locks up the
nitrogen and holds it.
Since the lime naturally sinks in
the -soil, it is best to put. it near the
surface. It ought to be mixed as
perfectly. as., possible with the soil,.
as it is not effective when left in
lumps. This is because the lime is
not in contact with enough of the
soil particles.
As ground limestone is harmless,
a person may use as much of it as
he wishes. It is pleasant to work
with and doesn't born like caustic
dime when it gets on the skin, nor
does itcake together if it happens
to get wet. One may put it, on the
soil at any time. It may be put on
with manure, as it does not burn out
the humus. Soil acids attack the
particles of limestone and are neu-
tralized, but the lime itself does no
harm, no matter how much is used.
The person who feeds swine for
the purpose of producing pork should
know the indications 'of an animal
that will gain' weight rapidly and
thereby pay a profit to its owner. If
the hog raiser is feeding the lard
type of hog he should seek in ani-
mals for fattening those whish'
possess the characteristics of the fat
hog type which are a short and
broad face, wide head, eters well
apart, full jowl, short legs, wide and
deep body with good full spring of
rib. If the farmer is feeding bacon
hogs he should look for a little less
width about the head and face and
for good leneh and depth of body
at the same tiine avoiding coarse-
ness.
Whether a hog raiser should feed
lard or bacon hogs will depend large-
ly on the location of his farm. When-
ever possible home grown feedstuffs
should be used, because feeding pur-
chased feeds is not always conducive
to profit. If the farm grows an.
abundance of corn and clover or al-
falfa' it will be more profitable to
grow the lard type, while on the
other hand, if the main feeds grown
are barley, peas, oats, etc:, having
a narrower nutritive value, bacon
hogs can often be raised to a better
advantage,
By far the greatest number of
hogs are fitted for market during the
summer and early fall months. Dur-
ing the summer the requirements for
shelter, Maintenance tied labor aro
least, while grains cheapest and
greatest. Of these the geeater resin -
bee is fattened on pasture. It is

A satisfactory system stem of pasture
feeding for pigs farrowed in April
and are ready for pasture in May is:
The previous fall a field is sown to
rye or winter vetch, furnishing a
good crop for pigs when they are
turned out; one acre of this supplies
100 Pigs ,and their mothers for about
a montho also a ration of corn meal
tankage or skim -milk is fed them.
About the 'first of June the pigs are
weaned and placed on clover or alfal-
fa, which furnishes green feed for
the nett five or six weeks. About
the 15th of Jelly they are turned in
a pasture of Geld peas and oats, thus
supplying part of the grain ration;
the- acreage ie larger because the
pigs are larger, Green sweet corn
is alto fed at thio time but not be-
fore it reaches the roasting ear stage,
sparingly at first, being, gradually
increased. With this there is little
or no need of corn meal ration, until
shortly after the green sweet corn
is ready to be feel. This is also fed
in the roasting ear: stage and when
bottom of the stalksbecome woody
only the top portion is used. The
pigs are kept on pasture, and corn
whiolt becomes more mature is feel
until fall or early winter, when they
are ready for market. When pos-
sible it is a very profitable plan to
hag the corn down, thus saving a
great dealof. labor. In :this ease
a self feeder with tankage should bo
before the hogs.
The feeding of hogs for market
will be found to be one of the most
profitable departments of the farm,

Stomach Ulcer.
' Stomach or gastric ulcer inay re-
sult from a blow on the abdomen,
or from chronic hyperulcidity '(ex-
cess of acid on the stomach), chronic
catarrh of the stomach, blood pover-
ty (anemia), heart Or kidney disease.
It is the most common in women be-
tween twenty and thirty, especially
housewives and domestics; among
men shoemakers and tailors are most
frequently attacked:
The usual symptom is pain be-
tween the breastplate and the navel
and in the back, usually sharp, bt'
creased at once by food intake, and
relieved by vomiting. And when the
stomach is empty there may be, if
not pain, a gnawing and burning sen-
eetion which Pressure may relieve.
Then later comes spitting of blood
which has a ground coffee appear-
ance, gradual less of flesh and
strength, dyspepsia and serious ane-
mia, We have to fear perforation
of the ulcer into the abdomen, with
grave shock or hemoerhage, or the
development of cancer, or death from
starvation. A yet a patient well at-
tended to may get well the ulcer

Broilers can be fattened on sour

reduce the exercise' and increase the
feed that the broilers will consume.
In growing broilers, it is important
to keep them developing rapidly and
evenly from the day they are hatch-
ed. Broilers cannot be half starved
until eight or ten weeks old with the
idea of making up for lost time and
finishing them properly on a ten-day
period of fattening. Twenty to thirty

WHEN CHILDREN CANNOT ATTEND SCHOOL
By JANET THOMAS ORMSTON.
There„is scarcely a district in the
country that has not some child, or
children who; for some reason or
other cannot attend the public school,
It may be that some physical disa-
bility makes it impossible for him;
perhaps mental deficiency debars
him from entering 'classes with other
children, or, if he is a very little
child, it may be that lie is too far
from the school to walk there and
back. Whatever the cause, the child
who does not attend school will be
seriously handicapped all through
life unless an adequate substitute for
the school education is provided, In
that ease his present misfortune may
eventually prove to be his good for-
tune, provided the home instruction
is made all that it is possible to makeit.
Mothers may feel that it is out
of the question to start him in the
paths of learning themselves. But
advanced knowledge is not so eeces-
sary as is an understanding of the
child, and who should understand a
child better titan his own mother?
Nor does it take a great amount of
time. Once a mother gets well start-
ed in the teaching of her child she
will not find it difficult; very likely
she will become fascinated with the
work. It is a wonderful thing to
watch the daily mental development
of a child. The pity of it is that so
few mothers have the best oppor-
tunity for observing it.
The thing that will bother most
the mother who knows nothing about
teaching is the method to employ.
The olda, b, c method has been al-
most descarded, because a, h, c
means absolutely nothing to a little
child. The "work and play" method
allows the best results according to
mothers who have tried it. It would
doubtless be best also for schoolroom
instruction were it possible to em-
ploy it under present conditions in
the sehools. however, it is not
schoolroom education in which we
are interested just now.
The work and play method is really
nothing but guided play. Allofthe
child's amusement is made an aidto his education. He is not told that
he is learning things, no set task
is given hint. He absorbs knowledge)
by the use of the games which' het
is led to play, by the answered guess',
tion, by the suggestion, hei:c and
there, as a sponge absorbs water,
The instruction that goes with the,
games all seems incidental and a
part of the play.
.,Evert a tiny child can learn the1
names of colors, learn them 'under-'
standingly as he looks .at a ribbon,'
at the grits', at the sky. This will
train the eye and the powers of oh-'
servation. If lie knows, for example,!

If she helps him when he is playing
with his blocks it will soon be an
interesting part of his play to spell
the word red.
Games will tench the numbers,

the word two. He learns what one-
half is when he divides his apple:
evenly with his playmate and he will
soon understand the figure one-half.
Pictures of birds and animals in
the natural colors are of great edu-
cational value. Children learn the
names of these because they want to
and they are eager to have stories
told about them.
The reading of stories and verse
to children, and the telling of stories
is one of the leading helps in this
method of education. There is no
limit to what a taste for right litera-
ture may do for n child, and especial-
ly for ono who is any way handi-
capped in life's race, In' time; the.
mother may have the children read
to her for her entertainment, not in
tho recitation of a lesson. They will
forget themselves and do their very
best in reading for another person's
pleasure.
There are a hundred suggestions
that might bo given, but in so brief
an article only an idea of the method
can be presented. Every mother
who tapes up the work will find sug-
gestions ' continually coming to her
and she will herself develop, al-
though in a different way, almost as
rapidly as does the child.
A word about the child who seems
mentally deficient. In too many
cases 710 effort is made to educate
such a child. This is a culpable mis-
take, If he had an atrophied muscle
it would surely be given nourishment
and exercise in the hope of develop-
ing it. Very often a child "not bright"
can be drawn out little by little until
finally he ceases to be subnormal.
And he is fax more likely to respond
to any such efforts right in the home
circle than he is ii placed among
strangers. Colors and bright •pic-
teees of animals, birds and flowers
often appeal to such a child more
than anything else. But it will rest
with the mother -teacher as ascertain
what particular thing is most likely
to interest the child and :start the
raising of the curtain that obscures
the mind. Something will probably
do it and infinite patience must be
exercised until that somcthieg is
found.
It is interesting and inspirational
to know what mothers have actually
and easily accomplished by this me-
thod. A little girl, now five ,years
old, bacl lost the power of speech
tht::ottgh illness when she was a wee.
baby. Her mother began teaching her
by the work -and -play method while
she was still a baby and gradually
drew her out mail she could speak.
She recovered) fully the power of
speech before she was four years old
and is ahead of the always normal
child in every way.
The -three-year-old brother of this
little girl can write on the type-
writer, While this ntay seem pre-
cocious, still is it any more so than
when a child of the same ago can
spell words with his alphabet blocks?
It -is simply a diffeeett method of
playing very treacly the same game.
The three-year-old eon of Mrs.
Wright knows every color and can
read many words, while his big sis-
tet of ten has been writing verse
for several years -and rho verses are
good. Mrs. Wright: has used the
work and play method with both`of
these children. •
