Maxwell High Art Tailor 'Hingham THE WINOHAM ADVANCE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1905. Seaforth, One morning recently two of our worthy pioneers were walking Main. street 111 close and friendly conversa, tion whose united ages figured up to 172 years, Messrs, Ir, 11Icltercher of McKillop and R, Winters of Seaforth left this Week with six carloads of export eat - tie for Glasgow, Scotland, sailing from Montreal on Thursday, Donald McDonald of Tuckersmith, who is over 70 years of age, on Thurs. day morning walked from Ilia farm in. Tuekersmith to Seaforth, over nine Tulles, to take the morning train for Toronto. ' Rumor has it that a hospital is one of the good things in store for Sea - forth and that negotiations have al- ready been entered into looking to- ward the purchase of the residence on what is known as the Coleman estate for that purpose. A case of smallpox has developed in Seaforth. The patient is a lady who came here from Saginaw, Michigan, to visit, The Medical Health Officer and the Board of Health have taken every precaution in the matter. The house and the members of the family have been quarantined and everything else has been done to prevent the spread of the disease.. Andrew Sproat of Aspden, Mus- koka, was in Seaforth recently. It is thirty years since Mr. Sproat left Sea - forth and settled in Muskoka. It was a pretty rough country then but he has now a fine cleared farm of 200 acres and each of his two sons have a farm close by. Mr. Sproat has just returned from a visit to the old coun- try, after an absence of 40 years. A peculiar incident related by Mr. Sproat is that he had the privilege of sleeping in the same house, the sante room, the same bed, with the same brother he had slept in and with, just fifty years previously. On Sunday morning last as Rev. Mr. Birks, pastor of the Methodist church, was about the middle of his sermon he happened to look out of the window and noticed that the sum- mer kitchen attached to the parson- age, was on fire. He halted in his discourse and quietly asked two of the brethren to put out the fire and then proceeded with his sermon as if noth- ing out of the usual was happening. The brethren obeyed the injunction and sncceeded in quenching the fire without any serious injury being done. It seems that one of the boys had lighted the gasoline stove and his attention being called to something else, the blaze got too high, igniting the wood work above it. Goderich. A. J. Cooper has had his grain ware- house on Hamilton street rebuilt. A scow to carry gravel for the con- crete work at the elevator is being built on the clock.

Interesting services were held at the Baptist church last Thursday, when Rev. H. W. Wright, who has been taking charge of the work here, was ordained to the ministry, The council consisted of abont twenty-five clergy- men, mostly from churches of the Walkerton' Association. The action for incest against Joseph Mason,. of Grand Bend, which was given its preliminary hearing a few days ago in the maistrate's court, was tried before Judge Doyle on Monday and Tnesday end the prisoner was convicted on two charges. Sentence was deferred till next Tuesday. The complainants are daughters of Mr. Mason's. Alex. Young, of Port Albert, is tak- ing action against the county of Hur- on in consequence of the death of his daughter in the dant at Port Albert on July 27th, He claims that the place is not properly protected. On Thursday last Mr. Young and "Warden Miller mot at the court house to see if a settlement could be arranged but an agreement was not arrived at and Mr. Young's solicitors, Messrs. Dickin- son & Garrow, have since issued a writ, asking $3,000 damages from the county. The law provides that all actions of this nature shall be tried before the County Jtidge, so that it will likely conte up before lits Honor ere long. LOW RATES TO CALIFORNIA.

Bordeaux mixture should be pre- pared as follbWs: Dopper sulphate (1?1uo vit- tiol or blusstone) , , , , .. 6 pounds Vtuslakeri stone lime, , .. , 4 pounds. Water, . O. pt .. . ... A, 60 gallons To prepare the mixture most con- yeatontly and economically stock solu- tions of the ingredients should be ramie, Secure four barrels, holding at least fifty gallons each in addition to the barrel which is to be used for the $pray pump. Place 100 pounds ' of good fresh stone lime in one barrel and slake the lime by adding water slowly, allowing the limo to crack and CUT Al vbgkn orumble, After the lime has been thoroughly slaked add sufficient water tp fill the barrel. When the whole is thoroughly mixed, as it should be be- fore it ie used, it will contain two pounds of limo to each gallon. To prepare the stock solution of popper sulphate place 100 pounds of popper sulphate in a stout, coarse sack and suspend it in another barrel, which should be filled with water. The bluestono will be dissolved in a day or two if placed as near the top of the Penance TOGETHER LIMB AND BLUES'r'ONE SOLUTIONS. barrel as possible. Never place the cop- pdr sulphate in the barrel loose, as it will take a much longer time to dis- solve and will require much stirring, Each gallon of this solution will now bontain two pounds of copper sul- phate. Make two half barrels by sawing one of the fifty gallon barrels through the middle and put two gallons of the stock lime—that is, four pounds—in one barrel and add sufficient water to make about twenty-two gallons. Stir this well is make a thorough mixture of the lime. Put three gallons of the stock copper sulphate solution—that is, six pounds—in the other half bar- rel and add enough water to make about twenty-two gallons. Two men with pails can now pour the two solu- tions together simultaneously into a barrel, as shown in the figure, and then stir the whole thoroughly with a wooden paddle. If desired, these stock mixtures may be prepared by using only fifty pounds of lime and fifty pounds of bluestone in each barrel. If prepared in this way the solutions would con- tain one pound to each gallon, and four gallons of lime and six of Blue- stone would be necessary for a fifty gallon barrel of bordeaux mixture— Prof. C. L. Shear of the 13. S. Depart- ment of Agriculture. Dust Spraying Experiments. The following comments of Prof. C. P. Close of the Delaware experiment station upon dust spraying are con- densed from a recent bulletin. Condi- tions in Delaware seen favorable for the dusting method since heavy, dews are frequent during the growing sea- son. Methods for preparing dust are objectionable, because of the sifting of such quantities of lime dust. The formula employed was one pound sul- phate, one pound paris green or des- parine and 24 pounds lime. The sul- phate must be thoroughly crushed and sifted before being used, because even though pulverized it tends to cake. It is believed that in the presence of clew or other moisture, the dust so prepar- ed forms bordeaux mixture. About two pounds dry mixture were used per tree at each spraying on trees which would usually be given three or four gallons liquid. Owing to a severe wind storm in September, the results of the experi- ments are less conclusive than they might have been, but Prof. Close be- lieves that if results in seasons and orchards more favorable to the meth- od give proportionately as good re- sults as the present series, dust spray- ing may be recommended for Dela- ware. He points to the great expense of mixing houses, storage tanks and other equipment for liquid spraying and asserts that the cost of dust spraying would be considerably less. Ile suggests using 50 pounds, or even more, lime instead of the smaller quantity used in the tests, and also mixing one or two days before appli- cation, so as to facilitate chemical ac- tion between the ingredients. Dust Spraying Doubtful. Some advocates of dust spraying make the dust out to be an absolute and immediate panacea for all ills, in- sect, fungus or other, affecting all living vegetation. A peculiar thing about the dust spraying school is that its members insist that !lust spraying is shortly to revolutionize all horticul- ture. As a matter of fact, dust spray- ing machines have been mannfactured and used in this country since 1854. Many formulas for the preparation of dry fungicides have been published and extravagant clahns made for them, but in our own experience with a considerable number of these formu- las, we have found their true value to be largely problematical. Sulphur, lye, copper sulphate, lime and various combinations o! these have been advo- cated for use against fungous diseases, The greatest objection to dust spray- ing is the fact that the dust does not ordinarily adhere as well as does the same substance applied as a liquid spray. Tho preparation of many of the fungicides advocated for dust sprAYing has involved the sacrifice of eo much time and labor that its cost has been oftentimes Comparatively higher than all the work of preparing and applying lipoid sprays. During the coning season we expect to test dry Bordeaux mixture very thoroughly, es- pecially in connection with brown rot. —Prof. Willman Newell, formerly State Entomologist of Georgia, now of Louislaua. .w..., What Causes Snoring.

The hot weather of the past two weeks has brought grain on so rapidly that it has been impossible for the binders to keep up with the ripening process and the re- sult is that there will be a considerable loss from shelling. Some farmers have from 100 to 300 acres of wheat lying unstooked from want of assis- tance, The yield in no place is report- ed to be less than 20 bushels to the acre, and from the majority of wheat - producing areas it should reach 25. bushels.

"Women's Headaches" Late hours and anxious pursuits, with immoderate eating, weakness, nervousness, and overwork or worry, is responsible for the alarming increase of headache. Women are more subject to this ailment than men. Their delicate con- stitution and nervous temperament induces a condition of the system that sooner or later brings on the periodical attacks of headache. c c PSYCHINE " is the remedy of all others for the complete cure of headache. It builds up the nervous system— restores vitality, cleanses the stomach from all bile, settles the nerves, starts the blood into the proper channels, and in most cases the attacks can be warded off by careful attention in following directions. Don't destroy the system by frequent use of dangerous powders, that give only temporary relief. Begin the " PSYCHINE " treatment now, and fortify the system against attacks. This is the only way to permanently dispose of periodical headaches. GREATEST OF ALL TONICS (PRONOUNCED SI -KEEN) ALL DRUGGISTS. -ONE DOLLAR..TRIAL FRES DR. T. A.
