PARIS GREEN TREATMENT OF j CODLIN MOTH. Secretary Morton, m an interview at Washington recently, said : — • The apple trade of the United States with foreign' countries has^ always been profitable. The demand tor apples grown m the United States has always been m •xceis of the supply. The United Kingdom of Great Britain alone during the nine months ending September, 1894, paid the orchards of the United States .£500,000. The greatest enemy of our export app'e is the codlin moth. But the entire crop can be made worraless if the orchards of the United States will use the follow ing reoipe : — Use Paris green at the rate/of lib to ISOgals, of water. Weigh out sufficient poison for capacity of the tank used, and make it inlo a thin paint with a' small quantity of water, and add powder or quicklime equal to the weight of poison used, mixing thoroughly. The lime takes up the free arsenic and removes the danger of scalding. Strain the mixture into the spray tank, taking care to pulverise and wash all the poison through thestrainer During the operation of spraying see that the liquid is agitated with sufficient frequency to prevent the settling of: the poison. The prime essential in' spraying is- to break up the liquid into V fine :> mist, so as to coat every ltaf and part of ihe plant as lightly as is consistent with thorough ness. Thit should nnfc require more than from 3gals to 7gals for a com paratively large fruit tree. Let the first spraying follow within- a week after the falling of the blossoms, ■ of either apple or pear, and follow this with a second treatment just before the fruit turns down on the stejn) or when it is from one-fourth to brie-half inch m diameter. The first spraying reaches the eggs laid by the moth m the flower end of the fruit, shortly, after the falling of the blossoms, and the second later eggs laid by belated moths. Do nab spray trees when m,- bloom, and if a washing rain immediately follows treatment, repeat the application.' It may be added to the foregoing that for late apples it is usual to spray again later, as the moth has later broods.

Dangers of Drinking Water.

■ - _ A Habit Wliiih Viig-liah Iloctors Once OppAnrd. It needed a very bold man to resist the medical testimony of three cen turies ago against water drinking, says The Hospital. Few writers can be found to say a good word for it. One or two only are concerned to maintain that, " when begun m early life, it may be pretty freely drunk with impunity," and they quote the curious instance given by Sir Thomas Elyot m his "Castle ot Health," 1541, of the Oornis.h men, " many of the poorer sort, which never, or very seldom, drink a.uy other drink, be notwith standing strong of body, and like and live well- until they be of great age," Thomas Cogan, the medical school master of Manchester fame, confessed m his "Haven of Health," 1589, de signed for the use of students, that he knew some who drank cold water at night or fasting m the morning without hurc; and Dr James Hart, writing about fifty years later, could even claim among his acquaintances " some honor able and worshipful ladies who drank little other drink, and yet enjoyed more perfect health than most of them that drink of the strongest." The pheno menon was undeniable, but the natural inference was none the less to be reaisted. Sir Thomas Elyot himself is very certain m spite of the Cornish men, that " there be m water causes of divers diseases, as of swelling of the spleen and liver." He complains oddly also that "it fitteth and swimmeth," and concludes that "to young men and them that be of hot complexion it doeth less harm, and sometimes' it profiteth, but to them that are feeble, old an<i Melancholy it is not con venient." "Water is not wholesome cool by itself for an Englishman," was the verdict of Andrew Horde — monk, physician, bishop, ambassador, and writer on sanitation — as the result of a Jife's experience.: Aud to quote again the « Englishman's Doctor :" Both water and small beer, we make no question, Are enemies to health and good digestion. But the most formal indictment against water is that of Venner, who, writing m 1622, ponderously pro nounces *• to dwellers m cold countries it. doth very, greatly deject their appe tites, destroy the natural heat and overthrow the strength of the stomach, and, consequently, confounding the is the canae of crudities, fluctuationsand windiness m the body."

Prevention Is Better Than Cure jjj THE few cases of Typhoid m Ashburton Borough and Suburbs afford no j t ground for a " scare," but it is only by using reasonable precautions tl that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject T being referred to m the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extraot o< from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century "of last year, m which special n reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Rußßia swept away nearly d all the children m come villages ; and m Prussia, no less than one-sixth to a one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five sears sue- £ cmnbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being taken m the experiments of the French Doctors, Roux aridTersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax^ Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upon, which dairy and kitchen slops have been 0 thrown. Without an inftction by bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one ( thing indispensable m the direction of perfect Banitary arrangements. By its 1 use, a two-fold benefit is derived. Ihe fever a»d diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and wbat is otherwise a source of terror becomes an absolute . gain, by conveying the wa?h to pig trough or to the garden. The Portable . Barrows can be put to various kinds of use, and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively small. Possession ot one becomes an^absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit.
