A Proposed Stono Picker 
In your issue of January 7 you mention 
that several years ago The It. N.-Y. made 
an investigation regarding stone pickers. 
Did you run across any suck as follows: 
A tractor or four to six horse-drawn ma¬ 
chine, with engine mounted to move the 
machinery; modified plow points (one or 
two), which take up the soil hut do not 
turn it over; an elevator which takes the 
soil from the plow points and lifts it to 
where rotating arms or shakers can 
loosen up the soil and allow the dirt and 
stones under, say 2 in., to drop through 
and be placed back on the ground, same 
ns I bough plowed and disked ; the stones 
to be carried to hopper on top for chuting 
to wagons or in piles on ground for cart¬ 
ing away. I realize this is but. a rough 
description, but wondered if i’f would be 
worth working out. and patenting, or 
whether in your investigation you bad 
found anything like this. This machine 
would remove all stones that were loose, 
unless too large (and then dynamite or 
digging would be necessary), and elim¬ 
inate the stone picking after each plow¬ 
ing. F. VV. W. 
West Coxsackfe, N. Y. 
No, we recall nothing just like the plan 
here outlined. Several people spoke of 
using a potato digger with a stone boat 
running behind it to catch the stones. 
Such a plan might get out the smaller or 
fair-sized stones, hut in order to make it 
strong enough to do the work the cost 
would he too heavy, unless it could be 
used for light plowing or digging. 
Statute of Limitations on Nursery Stock 
Does a contract, given in another State, 
to an agent for a firm in New York State, 
become a New York contract and. as 
such, come within the statute of limita¬ 
tions? Or is it a foreign contract and 
not subject to this statute? Apple trees, 
in New England, come into hearing in 
eight to IS years after being set out. 
Until recently, ami even now for the 
average man, the only way to determine 
variety was by the fruit. Dr. Shaw of 
Amherst and a few other experts nin 
now tell varieties, within reasonable lim¬ 
its, by the leaf. In an action to recover 
damages for apple trees untrue to name, 
bought more than six years ago, can the 
nurseryman successfully plead the statute 
of limitations? If the element of fraud 
was present and proved would this stat¬ 
ute avail? What binding effect on the 
purchaser has the ordinary guarantee 
which says that the seller will he respon¬ 
sible only to the extent of replacing any 
stock that proves untrue? X. Y. 
The statute of limitations affects the 
remedy only, and an action on a contract 
is governed by the statute of the State 
in which the action is brought, and not by 
that in which the contract, was made. 
Where, however, the lex loci contractus 
enters into and forms a part of the con¬ 
tract that will govern, however, differing 
from the law of the place where the ac¬ 
tion is tried, if the action he transitory. 
Where a cause of action arises outside of 
this State an action cannot be brought in 
a court of this State to enforce such 
cause of notion after I he expiration of the 
time limited by the State where the cause 
of action arose, except where tin* anise 
of action originally accrued in favor of a 
resident of this State. The statute of 
limitation of the State of New York must 
la 1 computed from the time of tin* accru¬ 
ing of the right to relief by action or 
otherwise to the time when the claim to 
the relief is actually interposed. 
In a cause of action to procure judg¬ 
ment on the grounds of fraud the cause 
of action is not deemed to have accrued 
until the discovery by the plaintiff of the 
facts constituting the fraud. Under the 
facts \\Iiich you state, an action must, he 
brought within six years after tin* action 
accrued, and the action would not accrue 
until the discovery of the fraud, or until 
you should have discovered the fraud by 
the exercise of reasonable diligence. 
N. v. 
Cyanide of Potassium as an Insecticide 
I think farmers should learn the use of 
gas like cyanide of potassium to rid the 
barn of mice and insects, or hire someone 
once or twice a year, in place of the dirty, 
unhealthy barn eat. K. J. 
One trouble with this plan is the fact 
that most barns are not airtight. If they 
are, they art* usually so large that too 
much of the gas would he needed. For 
effective use this gas requires an airtight 
space and a comparatively small room. 
We have reported cases where rats were 
enticed into an old smokehouse ami there 
killed, hut rhe ordinary rat hole in a barn 
would not hold this gas long enough to 
kill. There have been cases where bi¬ 
sulphide of carbon has been injected into 
the hole with some success. This lias 
also been tried in lighting moles, by in¬ 
jecting it into their runs. 
Iht RURAL NEW-YORKER 
Let DoSCH 'protect 
your apples, pears 
and strawberries 
The Dosch method of insect and disease control 
with finer quality dusting material plus im¬ 
proved dusting machinery makes it easy to 
conquer apple scab, bud moth, pear psyllaand 
strawberry weevil as well as other insects 
and diseases. 
Dosch Dust Finer Than Flour Particles 
Dosch Dusts are ‘ finely powdered by new 
methods so they settle into every crevice, every 
crack, under the leaves and penetrate spots so 
frequently untouched by ordinary means. 
Dosch Dusts carry a special “sticker” material 
that makes the powdered dust stick like glue 
and gives an even application that leaves no 
uncovered area of foliage. 
Dosch Dusts Are Especially Recom¬ 
mended for Apple Scab, Bud Moth, 
Pear Psylla, Strawberry Weevil

Advantages of Dusting 
The Dosch Dusting method is the newest thing 
in the control of insects and fungous diseases. 
It takes one-fifth the labor, far less time and 
saves money. No heavy rigs to drag about, no 
water to haul. Soggy ground is no handicap.
