Failure of Olives. 
O. E. G., Oxnard, Cal .—1 have about a 
dozen olive trees in our orchard on first- 
class land which have borne olives in 
plenty, but for the last three years none. 
Trees are thrifty, no pests of any kind ap¬ 
parent. I do not know their age, but 
they are eight to 12 inches in diameter 
and 20 to 30 feet high, set fall of blossoms 
last Spring, but the fruit all fell off. I 
am advised to ctu them hack severely. 
What is your advice? 
Ans. — The olive is subject to some 
diseases and it may be that the trees 
were affected with some one of these 
last Spring, causing the young fruit to 
drop off. Another year it might not be 
so, or, it might be worse. As I am not 
well posted on olive culture and the 
State of California has officials who are, 
my advice is to address the director 
of the Agricultural Station at Berkeley 
and make full inquiries regarding this 
matter. h. e. van deman. 
Lime Sulphur and Plant Lice. 
I incidentally made a discovery this 
Summer that I believe growers of cher¬ 
ries who have not already made the dis¬ 
covery should know. Last season the 
black plant lice made an attack on our 
cherries, seriously checking the growth 
and also leaving the trees in such shape 
that the mildew followed, doing more 
damage. We sprayed with tobacco de¬ 
coction and whale-oil soap, hut could not 
check them to any extent This season 
while driving through the orchard with 
a tank of commercial lime sulphur, I 
tried it on one of my trees. The next 
day I found nearly every louse was gone 
and those that remained were dead. We 
immediately sprayed our whole orchard 
and have it perfectly free from both mil¬ 
dew and plant lice. We have 5,500 trees, 
so think this a good trial. We used 50 
gallons of water to one of lime sulphur.

Questions About Lime. 
A. L. V., Essex Co., N. J .—Do pvach or¬ 
chards need lime? What are the differences 
between caustic lime, carbonate of lime, 
gas lime, hydrated lime and limestone? 
Which is the best to use, how much per 
acre and when to apply? If used in Spring 
could you use bone, potash and acid phos¬ 
phate at same time, or would the lime 
have some ill effect on the fertilizer? 
Ans. —Peach trees will not do their 
best on a sour soil and lime will usually 
help the crop. Limestone as found in the 
soil is a combination of lime and carbonic 
acid. When the lumps of limestone are 
crushed or ground fine it is known as 
ground limestone of carbonate of lime. 
A pure limestone contains 56 pounds of 
lime to 100. When limestone is burned 
the carbonic acid is driven off and we 
have caustic lime, often called stone 
lime. This caustic lime “slakes” by ab¬ 
sorbing or uniting with water. The 
lumps crumble into a powder while 
slaking, and give off great heat. This 
slaked lime is known as burnt lime. 
Hydrated lime is the caustic lime 
crushed and driven through a tube in a 
very fine spray of water so that each par¬ 
ticle of lime is perfectly “slaked.” The 
tendency of caustic, slaked or hydrated 
lime is finally to return to the form of

limestone. Unless the soil is very sour 
the ground limestone is generally con¬ 
sidered best. From one to two tons per 
acre of this ground lime is the general 
advice. It is best spread on the furrows 
after plowing and harrowed in. Bone 
and potash can he used with the lime, 
except that, muriate of potash forms 
chloride of lime, which is soluble and 
may be washed out of the soil. Acid 
phosphate unites directly with lime. We 
would not put them on at the same time. 
Icehouse. 
A. M. W., Troy, N. Y .—My icehouse Is 
four feet under ground and 10 feet above 
ground. All below ground has decayed. I 
am going to make concrete foundation, to 
one foot above ground. 1 shall make it 
with three-inch dead-air space, except at 
, the corners. Will it be necessary to board 
up inside of concrete; side next to the ice ? 
Ans. —If A. M. W. uses sawdust be¬ 
tween his ice and the walls, as an in¬ 
sulating layer, there is no necessity for 
a wood lining against the concrete. The 
wood lining would, sooner or later, rot 
out, and the ice, covered with sawdust, 
would last longer. F. h. k. 
if it’s made of concrete. 
Your regular help can easily mix concrete. Practically anything can be 
made of it—watering trough, fence and gate-posts, mn-ways, etc., a silo, 
bam or house. Once made there’s no more to do—no painting, no repairs, 
no replacing, for the older concrete is, the stronger it gets.

High Grade Rubberi 
fna BEACON FALLS sn&\ 
CENTURY BOOTS 
are made of the strongest rubber in the world. They’re made on 
honor by people who know how, on a special phut of construction that 
experience has demonstrated a success. The duck vamps are made by 
forcing the highest grade rubber into the best quality of canvas duck 
-. ' {^m m by powerful hydraulic pressure instead of by kaml. As a precaution 
’kllTURYfVXrtSI^B ■ against cracking at the ankle, we use an extra ankle reinforcement 
■ of pure gum, while others use a strip of cloth. Cloth is cheaper. 
Century Soles arc made from the toughest compound known, 
and will outwear the soles of the average rubber hoot two to 
one. Here we reinforce again by running u strip of puro gum all the way 
ValcI M ■ around the edge of the sole, making a connection so firm and lasting as to 
absolutely prevent breaking. It’s not easy to tell a good rubber boot 
oy appearances, and even the dealer gets fooled occasionally. More 
often lio yields to the temptation to make what looks like a little "easy 
money” by stocking up on a "cheaper” article on the representation of 
some smooth salesman that “it’s just as good” as the Century. Why take 
chances on goods of doubtful quality when you can have Century Boots, 
backed by years of success, at no greater cost ? It has paid thousands 
of people to insist on having the Century. Beacon Falls Rubber
