/
We notice that among the causes
given for the alleged non-prosperity
of Vermont is the prohibitory liquor
law. In other words, it is assumed if
men could step into licensed saloons
and fill up with the devils fire. water,
business would boom. Well, doubt
less. it would with the saloon keeper.
However, it is gratifying to note that
this does not hold good in all other
places, if it does in Vermont, which
we do not believe, as the following
will show, clipped from the Topeka
(Kansas) Capital:
"Men do get liquor here, and men
do get drunk here SO do men steal
horses and burn houses. 1t would
be easier to steal horse in Topeka
this day than to purchase glass of
whiskey to drink. The effect could
not be go,d. There is nothing good
in dram chop; there is nothing bad
in its suppression. The greatest, the
best effect is the growing up gen.
Grafton of boys and girls that know
nothing about drinking saloons, ex-
cept what they read Or see in other
States when they 60 away. That
insures generation of temperance
men and women if we do not let 90
our hold upon the law, and we will
not. Next may be mentioned the
steady increase in our population and
wealth. We need not now go into
details; it is sufficient to state that
during these eight years of prohibit
ton our population has increased 20
per cent, and our wealth has been
nearly doubled. Our railroad mileage
now amounts to nearly nine thousand
miles of main track, and most of it
has been built since it became
evident that prohibition was and
would remain the law in Kansas.
The moral and intellectual tone of
the people has been greatly improved
as the decline of drunkenness and
crime amply shows. The people of
all classes concede benefits in this
direction. The present talk about a
resubmission of the amendment to a
vote of the people is inspired by liquor
interests. A few men in few towns
would like to have things lively about
them, and would be willing to have
the dram shop located for that pur-
pose, but the people will not have it
so. They know what comes in the
wake of the dram shop, and they will
have none of it. Kansas is better in
every way because OF her prohlbitory
law. She can show substantial gains
in every department of her work and
growth, and she can show clean hands
to her friends and fellows in other
States and countries when she invites
them to come among us. We have
schools, colleges, churches, railroads,
bridges and million aad three-quar-
ters of bright, progressive, enterpris-
ing people, with soil and climate un-
surpassed, with a diminishing taxa
ton, diminishing crime, multiplying
educational opportunities, but nc

The apple powdery mildew is
fungus disease that chiefly attacks
seedlings in the nursery and some
times renders large numbers of them
unfit for budding. Experiments made
this year by Prof. Galloway of the
U. S. Agricultural Department show
that trees affected in this way may
be very successfully treated by spray
ing with a solution Of 6 ounces in Al
gallons of water to which half a gallon
of ammonia is added.

careful observation kept up every
year since. Some three years ago we
expressed our opinion in a personal
letter to DIR. w. S. Maxwell of Still
Pond, Md, who subsequently reported
better results both in the destruction
of insects and in less injury to the
foliage of his apple trees upon which
he applied it. Quite recently Prof.
A J. Cook and DIR. Collier have both
been quoted as saying that Paris
green is much less injurious to foliage
than is London purple. We are sure
of it. 1t is little more expensive,
but it will pay to always use it in
preference to the other.

THERE have been many notable turf
events this year and none more SO
than those in which the three-year-
olds have come to the front in such
remarkable time. It is nice thing
for a three-year-old to beat 2:20 and
previous to this year only two have
done it in one season. But up to date
we have Axtell 2:14, Sunol 2:16J,
Lillian Wilkes 2:173, Faust 2:1S, and
Allerton 2:16. The last made in the
third heat of race with aged horses.
Here are five, any one of which would
have been startling wonder ten
years ago In addition to this there
are in Kentucky alone five three-year-
olds that have entered the 2:30 list
but have not beaten 2:20, and proba-
bly, some of them will do so at the
Lexington meeting in October. Glen
view in particular is expected to do it,
and perhaps one or two others. 1t is
quite possible that the three-year-old
record will still further be lowered
before the season is over, though till
this year the 2:1S mark was consid-
cred difficult to beat.

The plant pathology division of the
Agricultural Department recently is
sued bulletin on the ''pear leaf
blight and apple powdery mildew."
Some Of our exchanges appear to have
got the idea that this leaf blight is the
ordinary pear blight that has de
stroyed so many orchards on this pen
insula. But it is quite a different
disease. The ordinary pear blight is
now well known to be caused by q
specific form of bacteria, known as the
Microc0ccus dmylooorus, which feeds
upon the soft succulent layer between
the wood and bark destroying its
vitality; and when the bark has been
killed entirely around the limb, it
dies from that point out to the end.
But with the leaf blight under dis
cussion the parasite is of a different
nature. 1t is fungus known to the
scientists as Entomospori,on nadculd-
tam, and does not extend beyond the
leaf. The bulletin referred says: In
case Of the pear leaf-blight the body
or vegetative system of the fungus,
consisting of very minute, short, col
orless flaments, grows between and
through the delicate cells of which
the leaf is composed, destroying all
the latter with which it comes in con
tact, and using their nourishment for
the building up of its own structure.
AS a result Of this process the leaf
shows, here and there ON the surface,
small, more OF less circular, dark
brown spots; these rapidly enlarge
and by running together soon cause
the entire leaf to turn brown and then
fall off. Before the latter takes place,
however, close examination of the
diseased spots will reveal numerous
little blacRsspecks; these contain the
iF-pores or reproductive bodies of the
