August is a hard month on dairy
cows, flies, dry pasture and hot days.
Influences may be overcome by, pro-
viding. green food, alfalfa and corn,
a grain ration, and giving protection
. from flies and the hot sun. Only the
industrious cows do well in August,
others idle and will not eat .the dry
„feed during this trying month. The
dairyman with a second silo filled
during a year of plenty and reserved
for a season like this, has the laugh
on the other fellow this time. Silage
and alfalfa reserves are necessary to
prefltable dairy farming. Better plan
to put tip a second silo this year, that
you may have nutritious, succulent
feed at hand for the cows in future.
Dry years come frequently and good
'silage will keep until heeded,. Bul-

POTATO SPRAYING FOR PROFIT
Some Worthwhile Thoughts
Since potato groivers of Ontaria
"are interested in phttilig oz the ireere'

production cost, it is impoetant that
• they give careful attention elds see -
son to the matter of spraying. High

not secured from plants whope leaves
are riddled b,insects or infected with
blights. Healthy green leaves are ab.»
dolutely eesential in tuber develop-
ment and starch formation,
• CALCIUM ARSENATH on DUOS.
Coloreds potato beetles, flea beetles,
leaf hoppers and plant lice area few
of the more common insecte affecting
the potato that can lae contieelled by
spraying. Both the Colotado beetle
and the flea beetle -are leaf chewing
insects and the injury that 'they do is
generally recognized by jgrowere,
While the Colorado potato beetle or
bug is familiar to every potato grow-
er, the potato flea beetle is not so
evell known. This tiny black insect
which is about the size of a pin head
eats small round holes in the leaves.
it is particplarly serious on early po-
tatoes andis generally most common
in fields ,that are 'weedy or that are
surrounded by weeds.
For these two insects as well as
other leaf chewing insects, Paris
green, lead arsenate or calmer -le arsen-
ate are the poisons most commonly
Used. Paris green is not as generally
used as it was a few years ago; it
does not stick to the foliage' as well
as the other poisons named and it
May cause a burning of the leaves,
if applied without lime.
Calcium arsenate is nowoneof the
best poisons for potato bugs, it is
quite cheap; is quick acting and sticks
'Well to the foliage. It should be used
at the rate of three Kends to every
100' gallons of Bordeaux mixture. If
lead arsenate is used it should be
combined with the Bordeaux mixture
at the rate of five pounds to one hun-
dred gallons.
Probably the most serious insect
pest affecting ehe potato is the leaf
hepper. This• small green insect lives
mostly on the undersides of the leaves
and sucks the juice from the plant.
During Augfist and September, pota-
to fields that have not been protected
against this pest 'show drying of
the plants. The tips and margins of
the leaves curl upwards and become
black and brittle. This inelry to the
leaves may cutethe, yield forty per
cent. or more. The most effective
spray for leaf hoppers is home-made
Bordeaux made by dissoiving four
pounds of copper sulphate—four
pounds of stone lime or six pounds of
hydrated Hine in fifty gallons of
water. Detailed direction for making.
Bordeaux mixture when pioperly
made and applied will keep the plants
green throughout the season, and
judging from he results of tests and
demonstrations, will generally in-
crease the yield forty bushels or more

occurs the use of Bordeaux will save

• Aside from controlling leaf hop-

ness of.whatever poison may be used

found partidularly effective when
combined with calcium arsenate or
arsenate of lead in controlling flea

should use Bordeaux mixture in every

Potato lice or aphids are serious in
some seasons, they feed on the under-
side of the leaves and on the growing
tips of the stalks. At their first ap-
pearance add one pint of forty per
cent, nicotine sulphate to one hundred
gallons of Bordeaux mixture and
spray so that all parts of the plant
are covered with the spray. Obser-
vations should be made for this in-
sect at frequent intervals and the
nicotine spray should be applied be-
fore the lice cause the leaves to curl.
HIGH PRESSURE SPRAYERS FOR BEST
RESULTS.
The success from spraying depends
upon its thoroughness and timeliness.
It is necessary that all parts of the
plant be covered with a thin film of
the spray. To accomplish this a ma: -
chine that can maintain approximate-
ly two hundred -pounds pressure
should be used; then the spray will
be delivered in a fine mist that will
envelop -the whole plant' Since most
insects and fungaus diseases begin
their attacks on the lower sides of the
leaves, the spray boom should be
equipped with three-noizles for each
rem—one directing the spray down-
ward to cover the top of the plant
and the other two placed chese to the
ground on either side of the row and
directing the speay toward the tinder
sides of the leaves.
Timeliness of application is all im-
portant. After late blight or leaf
hoppers have caused serious injury to
the vines, but little good can be had
from spraying. The „thee to spray is
before the damage- is done Generally
the first spray should be applied when
the plants are about six enches high.
Other applications should follow at
intervals of ten days or two weeks
throughout the season. In cases,
however, where weather conditions
are favoreible for late blight, it may
be necessary to spray oftener.
An Orchard Inventory:
If the orchard is a going concern,
a real business enterprise, we ought
to go over it at least once a year and
check up on it just as carefully as
the merchant does his stock of goods.
In fact, in some ways this is more
important with the orchard than with
a store, for the merchant merely
learns what stock he has on hand,
while the orchardist can discover
many of his past mistakee mid can
decide what future policiee are de-
sirable in order to' improve the out-
put.
This inventory ought to be taken
with pencil and paper in hand to make
records and every tree should be ex-
amined hi every part.
For the next two or three months
this record can be made'moreeffec-
tively than at any other time in the
year because the tree' has completed
its work for the year, the foliage and
wood growth can be examined and the
crop of fruit is on the trees where
it can be examined.
If one is to take such an inventory
some sort of outline is desirable in
order that he may not overlook any
of the points that should be noted.
To organize this score card effec-
tively ere may arrange it under three
general 'heads—first growth; second,
pest control; third, pruning. And the
answer to any reasonable question
shat we may want to .ask under any
of these heads will be eight before
les on the trees.
First; has the growth been what it
should? One 'would look for the ans-
ear to this question in the tize and
color of the leaves, in the length of
this season's growth on the branches
end he the. size and color of the- fruit,
If the tree isn't making from eight
to eighteen inches on the terminals
and if. the leave g are not good size
and good color, and if the fruit is
undersized, then we need to improve
tele fertilizing anseiheultivation,
On the other hand' if the fruit is
'oversieed and undercolored, as will
cescaseenally happen, then we may
conclude :that we are overdoing the
matter, of cultivation apd nitrogenous
fertilizers, This ingtter of growth,

rhouid be an individual matter with
eaele tree, for in this particular the
trees are most likely to vary.

second general heading, pest control,
and we find that it is due to girdling
by mice, to borers or to some type of
collar rot. But whatever the' cause
it usually cells for drastic treatment.
Another important point to check

' scab. Did you control it? If not was

IL THE CONVERSION, OF THE PHILIP,
pew .TAIER, 2i-4,
Iiseeonere0e1.--1After, the • conver-
sion of Lydie ()coursed a esecond and
even more remarkable work of,,,grace,
at Philippi. This waseth.e rescue and
conversion of a half -Witted girl whom
certain unserupulotesh Mee employed
to earn meney fee them by the telling
of fortunes. From this life of degra-
dation and sin St. Paul succeeded in
delivering her, but pp great was the
anger of her employere at Paul hav-
ing interfered with „their commercial -
interests that they araeged him and
Silas before the courts and instituted
proceedings against them. Th e pres-
ent lesson describes 'the results of
these proceedings.
I. PAUL AND SILAs FLOGGED AND IM-
PRISONED AT PHILIPPI, 19-24.
V. 19. The employers of the girl in
their endignetion at losing their pro-
fits, set law at defiance, and brutually
drag the missionariea with their own
hands before the courts.
Vs. 20, 21. The law courts were
organized on the Roman model—since
Philippi was ae Romen colony—the
magistrates, being known as "prae-
tors." The accusation brought be-
fore them is that Paul and Silas are
Jews and disturbers of the peace of
the city. While the Jewish religion
was permitted under' Roman law, any
alleged breach of the peace was, of
course, an indictable offence, and in
this case gave an outlet for the pre-
vailing anti-Semitic feeling. Paul
and Silas are accused' of introducing
practices which are foreign and con-
trary to the Roman law of the colony.
The real offence, of course, was that
they had interfered with these men's
business.
Vs. 22-24. The sentence of the court
was quite illegal a.s,against a Roman
citizen like Paul. Under the influence
of angry anti-Jevrishefeeling he and
Silas are condemned to the terrible
punishment of flogging. The sen-
tence is carried out, and Paul and
Silas were thereafter, shut up in the
inner prison. The jailer, who had
I been specially instructed to keep them
[carefully underlock and key, took the
extra precaution of fastening their
feet in the stocks.
II. THE CONVERSION OF THE PHILIP -
PIAN JAILER, 25-34.
V. 26. It wae a queer place in which
to raise the voice of psalmody and
prayerebut that night Paul and Silas
were praying and singing hymns.
What a wonderful thing the religion
is which enables broken and outraged
men to give thanks to -God in a prison -
cell! Well might St. Paul afterwards
Write, to the Bedlippian. Christians,
and say: "Rejoice ire the Lord' al-
ways, and again J say, rejoice!" • No
wonder the other prisoners were lis-
tening as Paul and Silas sang. They
had never before heard the voice of
joy and gladness in a prison.
Vs. 26-28. That night there- occur-
red an earthquake at Philippi—not a
very uncommon thing in that part of
the world. Locks, bolts, and bars in
the prison flew open, and the prison-
ers rubbed their eyes tO discover
themselves free to escaPO, But im-
agine the consternationeoe `the awak-
ened jailer. He feels it is all over
with him, for the prisoners are gone.
A hardened and desperate man, and
accustomed to acts of eviolence, he
draws his sword, and is only saved
from suicide by the appearance of
Paul who, perceiving the man's in-
tention, shouts, "Do thyself no, harm;
for we are all here."
Vs. 29-30. This was too mech for
the jailer. God had been working
mightily on- his soul, all that night.
He had doubtless heard the prisoners
singing. H,,e wondered what they had
to sing about in a place like that, He
had no religion himself, no motive•for

DRY SOME OF THE FRUITS.
A very tasty preserve can be made
from green tomatoes. If large to-
matoes are used cut them in halves,
then quarter the halves, and to each
pound allow three-quarters of a pound
of sugar and one thinly sliced lemon.
Put the sugar in just enough water
to dissolve, add the other ingredients
and simnier gently until the tomaeeee
are almost transparent and the syrup
thick. Very small tomatoes may be
preserved whole.
Don't get so enthusiastic over can-
ning' that you waste time, energy seed

in moss or sand, whereas squash and
pumpkins should be kept in a dry
room with a uniform temperature of
E0 degrees. Lima beans and okra dry
satisfactorily. And, too, peaches,
plums apricots, quinces' and apples,
if dried, are a wonderful asset in
winter, for they can be converted into
so many delicious and healthful dish-
es. And drying them is so easy.
• No matter what drying method is
used, apples, pears and quinces should
be pared, cored and sliced into cold
salt waver, using an eighth of a tea-
spoonful of salt to a gallon of water.
After two minutes in this solution,
steam them ten minutes before dry-
ing. Peaches should be peeled and

A houfewife who is famed for her
hrflliant pret$021(0$ says the reason
they are so sparkling is becauee they
are cooked rapidly over a hot fire, for
slow cooking makes them dull and
unattractive.
She aid to me:. "I make a syrup
of one quart of water and a little less
than two cupfuls of sugar, cook only
one layer ef fruit at a time and see
'always that each piece is completely
covered, for pales whieh are above
the syrup shrivel and dry out. As
eachtlayer of flea is cooked I lay it
on a plate, end when all is cooked
pour the syrup over it and let it stand •
all night; this helps to plump it.
"In the morning I pack it into cold,
sterile jars, pour off all the surplus
syrup and boil the letter until thick.
This is then poured into the jars, and
I see that every crevice is filled
When cold I cover with hot paraffin.
This method I use for peaehes, plums
and berries. lard fruits need cook-
ing in water to soften them before
putting them inte the syrup."
The fireless cooker is admirable for
preserving pears, quinces, watermelon
rind and citron. Prepare them he the
usual way, put into the cooker leettle,
add water and boil hard for a minute
or two, then put into the cooker over;
night. Add sugar in the morning—
three-quarters of a pound to a pound
of fruit, or if a 'rich preserve is de-
sired, Perund for pound. Bring to a
boil and return to the cooker for four
hours, when the product is ready to
pack into jars.
An unusual peach conserve is Made
by cooking together until soft four
pounds of peaches, pared and cut into
smell pieces, one grated orange, one
grated lemon and one grated pine-
apple. Measure and add a pound of
sugar for each pint of pulp. Add half
a pound of blanched and chopped al-
monds, together with a few peach
kernels. Cook slowly until thick and
stir to prevent burning.
A few jars of pickled peaches
should be in every preserve closet.
The' peaches should be nearly ripe
and very firm. Do not stone them,
and let them stand for two days in a .
strane sokition • of salt and water.
Drain and spread them out until quite
dry, then fill into jars leaving a quar-
ter of the space for the liquid. To
make this, add to each quart of vine-
gar a tablespoonful of mustard, mix-
ed smooth, half a cupful of brown
eugar, a teaspoonful each of powder -
ea ginger and allspice and six cloves.
When boiling hot, pour over the fruit.
Catchups may be included among
the condiments of wall it is impos-
sible to have too greaT a variety, for
with them the housewife may give
piquancy and change to the daily
meals. Barberry catchup is made by
cooking and straining three quarts of
barberries; then cook together four
quarts of cranberries, one cupful of
raisins, one large duince and four -
small onions in a quart of water,
strain and mix with the barberry
juice. Add three-quarters of a cup-
ful of salt, two cupfuls of sugar, half
a cupful of vinegar, two teaspoonfuls
of ground cloves and one of ground
allspice, two tablespoonfuls each of
black pepper and celery seed, one
tablespoonful of ground mustard, one
teaspoonful each of cinnamon, ginger
and nutmeg. Let boil one minute; if
too thick add either vinegar or water.
To make grape catchup heat ten
pounds of the fruit in a kettle, with
just enough water to prevent scorch-
ing, until they will go through a col-
ander. Boil a pint of vinegar and
two pounds of sugar for a quarter of
an hour and mix with the strained
grapes, then add an ounce each of
cloves, cinnamon and mace. Cook
twenty-five minutes. If too thick add
a little vinegar and sugar. Cork
tightly.
