A nurseryman asserts that apple
trees which have straight and up
right tops have roots of similar
character, and that those which have
low and spreading tops have bushy
roots. Even the color and peculiar
markings of the bark of some varie-
ties extended to the roots. The
nurseryman is therefore able to dis
tinguish several varieties by their
roots alone.

1t is generally agreed among
pomologists that the characters of the
fruits of different varieties are too
vague and underlined to answer all
the purposes of Identification. At
tention is being turned to the flower.
We might suggest that more atten-
ton be given to the general habit of
the tree. Most varieties are so well
marked by the shape Of the top, dis
position of the limbs, color of the
twigs and leaves, shapes of the leaves,
etc., as to be at once distinguished by
experts. The time of poisoning, of
leafng, etc, is also distinctive fea-
ture.

1t is probable that all our small
grain is sOwn more thickly than it
should be. There is no enemy to the
wheat plant so dangerous as another
wheat plant contesting with it for
light and room in the struggle for
existence. Both want the same food
when there is not enough for both.
The result is a puny growth, howev-
er the field may be fertilized. The
same is true of oats and barley. Far
mers well understand the bad effects
of too thick a stand of corn in dimin-
ishing the grain yield. Three stalks
in hill give more sound corn than a
greater number of stalks, and with
some varieties even two stalks will
yield even more than three. The
same fact holds true with regard to
small grain.

be needed against building very eX

large ones. Ifyou calculate to keep
500 or 1000 fowls do not build any
one structure for more than a tenth
of that number, and do not keep
more than fifty together. Then, if
you succeed, it will be the easiest
thing in the world to build a second,
or third, or fourth house like the first,
with as many improvements as eX-
pertence suggests.

BRITISH AFFAIRS.
Lord Salisbury Outlines the Canser.
yat1Ve Policy

Salisbury spoke at the National Conser-
| vative Conference at Newport, Eng He
| thanked the Conservative Union for expos
I ing the true nature of the gaudy promises
/ OF the seductive programme of the Liber-
ais. Referring to the disturbances IN the
/ Balkans, the Premier said: SIT is no part
of the duty of British statesmen TO interfere
in the affairs of Eastern Roumelia The
treaty of Berlin has not been frustrated
nor has the San Stefano treaty been restor-
ed. The policy of the Government is to
uphold the Turkish empire, and whenever
1t Is possible, to do so genuinely and heart
lily; to uphold, cherish and foster strong
self-sustained nationalities who have an
important bearing on the future of Europe.
For the present have hopes that the Pow
ers will conhne the disturbance within the
limits of the Roumelian territory. Russian
influence would have checked the political
growth of Roumelia if the latter country
had united with Bulgaria in 1885,
He favored great changes in the present
measure for local self-government. To de-
centralize authority in London was an in
dispensable part of the new Governments
policy. People having wealth should bear
the burden of the expenses of the country,
and not alone those having houses and
lands. The Premier in answering the ques-
ton as to what extent local government
authority should be extended to Ireland,
said: can extension might give more
facility to the majority to do justice to the
minority. Conservative traditions were
clear" He regarded the integrity of the
empire above all other political considera-
tons. He favored the imperial confedera-
ton movement, but his plans in regard to
the matter have not yet been tangibly fixed.
The Premier believed in the closer union of
England and her colonies, with the view of
proving the real strength of the nation in
European councils, and said it was one of
the most important questions of the future.
He favored the measure for cheapening
and simplifying the sale and transfer of
lands. He stated that the Government
had received returns showing that general
crime in Ireland had decreased. Boycott
ting was amenable to the ordinary law,
which would be sternly enforced. Thirty
five prosecutions had already been started.
Extending self-government to Ireland, he
declared, is an open question: but it is desir-
able, as far as possible, to give Ireland the
same benefits as are enjoyed by the rest of
the United Kingdom.

THE FRENCH ELECTIONS
Result In Large Gains for the Con.
serVatIVeS.


The results of the elections throughout
France, for members of the Chamber OF
Deputies, have created great surprise and
chagrin among the members of the Cabinet
and their colleagues. The Conservatives,
on the other hand, are wild with enthusiasm
over the fact they have succeeded In polling
a much larger vote than the most sanguine
anticipated, and making changes In the
Cabinet requisite. The returns show that
the Conservatives have won sixty seats IN
seventeen of the eighty seven departments,
and have also beaten two Cabinet Ministers
and made second ballot necessary to de-
eide the fate of two others. The result of
the elections In Marseilles and Paris has
not yet been declared.
Goblet, Minister of Public instruction,
and Herve Mangon, Minister of Commerce,
are Cabinet officers who have been defeated
by the Conservatives. The Opportunists
have lost many seats, which have been
gained by either the Radicals or Conserva-
tives.
MIDNIGHT.-In 81 departments 165 Con-
servatives and 141 Republicans have been
elected. The Conservatives have gained
90 seats and lost s. It will be necessary to
have POP second ballots.
The French Senate is composed of 233
Republicans of all shades and of 81 Reac-
tionists. Included in the 233 Republicans
are 30 members of the dissident left center,
who on all clerical questions vote with the
right This leaves in the Senate then 203
straight Republicans, nearly all of whom
are of the opportunist stripe.

Invoking the virgin.

congregation to invoke the intercession of
the Virgin Mary to stay the progress of the
smallpox The procession took place in
side the church, however. At the afternoon
Festival of the Rosary the French church
on NOtre Dame street was crowded, fully
10000 persons being present. Father Mar
tineau, assisted by a large number of the
clergy, conducted the ceremonies. A statue
of the Madonna Notre Dame de Bon Sec
ours was carried on a dais up and down
the aisle of the immense edifice. The
statue is a very old relic, belonging to the
seminary of st. Sulpiee. 1t was brought
from France early in the eighteenth cent
ury, and has been used for $50 years in
times of special prayer or special returning
of thanks for mercies vouschafed.

Irish Interests.

Davitt's land system agitation in Ireland
increases daily. The moonlighters are fore
ing farmers to swear that they will not pay
their rents. Several farmers were waited
upon by moonhghters and compelled to
take oath to that effect.
John O'COnnor, member of Parliament,
in speech at Cork, said that the members
of the Irish Parliamentary party would be
divided into three classes-se lf-sHpperting
members, members who will be called to
London only on special occasions and mem
bers whose transcendant abilities entitle
them to compensation. Many candidates
were coming forward, expecting payment,
but they would probably be disappointed.
