Tomato Vines.

If there is any truth in the following
1t Is important: A statement comes
from South America that a single prop
erty of tomato leaves has been discover
ed by fruit grower. Having cut down
some tomato vines he used them to
mulch around his peach trees. He soon
discovered that the curculio, which was
destroying his fruit, had abandoned the
trees surrounded by the tomato vines.
Following up this discovery, the free
use of tomato vines proved a perfect
protection, not only against the curcu-
lilo, but other noxious insects.

soab in Sheep.

A correspondent whose sheep were
badly diseased, after trying other reme-
dies, especially sulphur, found in April
nearly all his ewes had lambs, and
when the lambs were one week old they
began to dig and scratch themselves.
He says: After turned them to grass,
l paid no attention to them till sheared
them then every sheep and lamb had
the disease, though no worse than in
the winter when the sulphur kept it in
check. About the first of June l made
strong decoction of tobacco, at about
five pailfuls mixed with three gills of
spirits of turpentine. 1 then gave every
sheep and lamb thorough washing all
over the whole body. 1 then turned
them to grass to watch the result. L
found that two of them still showed
signs of the disease. L caught them and
put sulphur all over their backs and
sides, and that is the last that L have
seen of the scab in my flock.

HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
Pear plIahl.


1t has been shown by careful micro
scopic examination in It's earliest stages
that the disease is caused by minute
fungus which develops In the bark and
penetrates inwardly, destroying the cell
structure us 1t proceeds. The fungus is
so small that the distinguished investi-
gator, DIR, j. Glbbens Hunt, under
powerful microscope, could not dlstin-
guish the species but this is one of
no consequence. This being the cause
of the disease, the preventive is obvious.
Any one who is In nelghborhood
liable to blight can have immunity by
washing his trees annually with pure
linseed oil, sulphur wash or other things
that will kill fungoid spore without
injury to the bark. OF course spores
may get into crevice where the washes
cannot reach, and hence there may be
some cases where, even though the trees
be washed, there will be disease. The
cause of the disease has been so clearly
demonstrated and the remedy so patent,
that cases of fire blight" only prove
ignorance or neglect.

DECENCY TOWARD HORSES,

A horse canno, be screamed at and
cursed. without becoming less valuable
in every particular. To reach the high-
es, degree of value the animal should be
perfectly gentle and always reliable, but
if it expects every moment that It Is IN
the harness to be '.jawed" at and struck,
il will be in a constant state OF nervous
ness, and in It's excitement as liable
through fear, to do something which Is
not expected, as to 20 along doing what
YOU started it to do. II is possible TO
train horse to be governed by the word
of mouth, almost as completely as it is to
to train a child. and in such training the
horse reaches his highest value. When
horse is soothed by the gentle words OF
his driver-and we have seen him Gained
down from great excitement by no other
means-it may be very fairly concluded
that he is valuable animal for all prac-
teal purposes, and it may be certainly
concluded that the man who has such
power over him, is humane man and a
sensible one. But all this simply means
that the man must secure the animal S
confidence Only in exceptional instances
is horse stubborn or vicious. fhe un-
derstands his surrounding, and what Is
required of him, he gives no trouble. As
almost every reader must know. If the
animal when frightened can be brought
up to the object he will become calm.
The reason is that he understands that
there is nothing to fear. So he must be
taught to have confidence in the man who
handles him, and then this powerful ami
NAL, which usually no man could handle,
if it be disposed to be vicious, will give
no truble. The very best rule, therefore,
which we would lay down for the man
agement of the horse, is gentleness and
good sense on the part of the driver.
Bad drivers make bad horses, usually

ORR FAST TROTTERS.

Robert Bonner, who owns number OF
fast horses, believes that the best time on
record will yet be brought down several
seconds, and he Is confident that Rarus
can trot In 2.lO, and that Edwin Forrest,
with a record of 2.l5 IA to wagon Is the
greatest wagon horse In the world.
Since Lady Suffolk trotted a mile In
2. 20 l-2, and Flora Temple in PIG IA, as
tonishing reductions in time have been
made, the Official record OF horses that
have gone below the time which made
Dexter famous being as follows:

2.l6l-2, American Girl and Derby.
PIG 81, 0ccident.
2.l7, Gloster.
2.l7 IA, Dexter.
Mr.. Bonner attributes the improvement
chiefly To toe weights, smoother tracks and
lighter vehicles, and confesses that with
out his toe weights Edwin Forrest would
not be worth $500, and that Maud >
would be no better He adheres TO his
purpose to give public exhibition of his
best horses, although his refusal to permit
them to trot for money will prevent then
from obtaining an official record. Wheth
