HARLEY-DAVIDSON 
AN OLD FRIEND. 
The picture on page 91 shows one of 
the old friends of The R. N.-Y. Mr. 
John M. Conklin has lived in Onon¬ 
daga County, N. Y., all his life of 85 
years. He still works at times in Conk¬ 
lin’s Mills. He is a great and inseparable 
friend of The IT N.-Y., and holds it, as 
we see, in the picture. Other friends 
are the cats, which are trained to be 
good millers, for they keep down the, 
vermin in the mill. Mr. Conklin had a 
college education at Union College, 
Schenectady, but he preferred to come 
back and spend his life as a miller. 
Conklin’s Mill is a landmark in that 
section. It was built by Elias Conklin, 
one of the former settlers who moved 
into the then wilderness from Long Is¬ 
land in 1797, and built the mill soon 
after his arrival. We are glad to show 
this likeness of our good old friend. 
THE OIL SPRAYS. 
So far as I can find out only a very- 
few growers here have been or are mak¬ 
ing their own soluble oil upon their own 
premises. Various formulas for mak¬ 
ing these oils were given out by the Del¬ 
aware and Connecticut experiment sta¬ 
tions several years ago. These had 
been tested and found effective by the 
said stations, and some of them were used 
by the grower, and results were equal 
to those attained from the commercial 
miscible or soluble oils. The chief rea¬ 
son why they have not displaced the 
commercial product or held their own 
in competition with other contact in¬ 
secticides is, first, the difficulty of buying 
the necessary ingredients in small quan¬ 
tities and of the proper grade. I once 
took the list of necessary ingredients to 
large dealers in supplies of a similar 
nature at Buffalo, and was unable to get 
all of them, and after considerable cor¬ 
respondence with outside dealers in such 
supplies, which resulted in rather inde¬ 
finite statements as to the grade, etc., of 
the ingredients they could supply, and 
also considering the skill necessary in 
compounding, together with the danger 
from fire if made in a building, I came 
to the conclusion that they were imprac¬ 
tical for the average fruit grower. Oils 
both clear and emulsified have been 
among the most effective remedies in con¬ 
trolling certain classes of insects, espe- 
cialy San Jose scale, and when prop¬ 
erly compounded and carefully applied 
injury has seldom resulted from their 
use. However, if the pure oils are not 
applied with greatest care injury is likely 
to result, such injury being variable 
and apparently depending upon the 
moisture in the tree, temperature, humid¬ 
ity, sunshine or some obscure cause. 
Kerosene emulsion at very strong 
strengths was tried for San Jose scale, 
but when mixed with the water com¬ 
monly found in "various localities proved 
unstable and separated into free oil and 
water which did irregular work in con¬ 
trolling scale and the free oil sometimes 
severely injured the trees. Various 
pump manufacturers then brought out 
mechanical mixing pumps of various 
types, arranged so that the percentage 
of oil and water could be regulated by 
the operator. These were quite effective 
in spraying for scale, for psylla, etc., but 
actual test showed that there was often 
a wide variation from the supposed per¬ 
centage of oil, and sometimes when set 
at killing strength enough oil to kill 
scale or psylla was not being applied. 
Pure crude oil was recommended as an 
effective remedy for San Jose scale, and 
some of the best work I have ever seen 
in controlling this pest was done with 
crude oil. But soon cases of severe in¬ 
jury were noted and during past few 
years few have dared recommend its use 
because of said possible injury. 
A correspondent writes from Massa¬ 
chusetts stating that “the tent-caterpil¬ 
lars are very bad upon apple and peach, 
but the poison that controls them upon 
the apples raises havoc with the peach.” 
Peach foliage is very susceptible to in¬ 
jury by spray material, the only arsenical 
spray that can safely be applied to the 
peach is arsenate of lead, two to three 
pounds to 50 gallons of water. Bor¬ 
deaux and arsenate of lead cannot be 
applied with safety to peach foliage. 
If arsenate of lead is applied soon after 
the young caterpillars appear they will 
be readily killed. b. v. b. 
A young negro was asked where he 
came from. He drew himself up proudly. 
“I’m from the first State in the Union, 
sah” “New York?” “No, sah; Ala¬ 
bama, sah.” “But Alabama isn’t the first 
State in the Union.” “Alphabetically 
speaking, sah, alphabetically speaking.”
