strawberry Leaf Blight.

It is known that this disease usually
causes the greatest injury by attack ing
the new growth which appears directly
after the new fruit is harvested. A:
this period the old leaves contain iI.
Vulnerable spores, and it is these th:t
infect tho young leaves. To proven.
this the practice of burning over the
plants lust after the fruit is gathered
has been followed with success, the
young plants usually starting up and
growing thriftily after the treatment.
The complete destruction of the old
leaves is usually effected by first now
ing the plants, allowing the foliage to
dry for day or two and then burning.
Last year an experiment was made by
Colonel Pearson, with a view to deter
mine the effect of spraying the foliage
with strong solution of sulphuric acid.
Several rows of strawberry plants, bad
~ infested with Headlight, were
sprayed with a solution made by mixing
one pint of sui phuric acid with six gall
Ions of water, the application being
made soon after the fruit was harvested.
AS result of this spraying the old
leaves were as effectually destroyed as
if they had been burnt with fire, and
two weeks later the plants had started
up fresh and green. On the 10Th of
September the difference between the
treated and untreated points was quite
striking. The sprayed rows were fresh
and green. while adjoining unspray ed
plants left for control were badly
blighted. Where one has a suitable
spraying pump it would doubtless be-
economy to adopt this method of de-
stroying the old plants rather than the.
plan of moving and burning with fire.

They Dislike Their Pet Measures to BE
Thrust Aside.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The decision
has been reached by Speaker Reed and
his associates in command Of the House,
that no more public building bills shall
pass during this session, because of the
enormous expenditure they involve.
This decision has caused much discOn-
tent among members whose bills
are suspended, particularly among
. few who claim to have been
promised that their bills should
receive early consideration. Those
interested in these bills are beginning
to understand that they can expect
nothing for their measures unless they
act independently. A canvass has been
made among them by some restless
spirit, and twenty have signed an agree
ment to turn and vote against the
Speakers command when an oppOr-
tunity is offered, and to strike out for
themselves and see what they can do
for themselves toward passing these
bills
Once or twice since the agreement was
reached they have been on the point OF
boiling, but when brought face to face
with the act they have hesitated about
voting outside of the party. They are
still waiting an opportunity to assert
their independence, and it is yet to be
seen whether they will have the courage
to seize it.

A Word About Colts.

At this time of year when the farm
work keeps the farmer busy from early
morning until night the colts are too
apt TO be neglected. True they may
need less attention now than in the
fall and winter. but neglect never pays,
be it in summer or winter. A good
many colts are turned out to past
ure for the summer and are left
until fall to hustle for them
selves. Good sized horses are not
usually secured in this way. The
youngsters need liberal amount OF
oats, and the farmer who neglects to
supply this need makes a mistake. The
returns for the money represented in
the grain fed will be realized in the IN
creased selling value of the colt
The breeder should bear in mind that
the colt may be placed on sale some
day. even if bred for his own use. A
large. well-shaped fellow, with good
action, will sell for more money than
the understood one every time. While
at pasture~colts are liable to receive
slight injuries which, if attended to ~
once, will leave no b;emish, but if no,
taken in season will result in a seal
which will take dollars from the selling
price. For this reason it is wise to take
look at the colt every day and make
sure that it is all right A stub in thu

The HORSE.

Some Points That Should Be Possessed
by "the Farmers Horse"
The profitable horse for the farm
must combine good degree of adapta-
ton to the required farm work, with
qualities that demand recognition in
the best markets. A small proportion
of the horses produced on the farm are
required for continued farm labor, but
it is fortunate fact that the best and
most reliable markets call for such
horses as may be produced from class
of mares best adapted to the diversified
wants of the farmer. No clear-sighted
breeder will be coltented to raise the
animal that in common parlance is de-
nominated the general purpose horse.
He is a compromise between the two
types that are required to furnish three
fourths of the market requirements and
fails to give in any considerable degree
the distinctive merits of either.
The idea that the horse that at ma
pounds, possessing semi-draft, semi
roadster formation, but wanting the
weight of the former and the style and
action of the latter, is typical horse
for the farmer to breed, is delusion
and a snare. This idea has sacrificed
the best available blood in the country.
ignored the demands of the best mar
kets, and filed the land with ansalable,
because undesirable, stock.
The combination of speed, style and
weight, 80 often found in the roadster
stallion of the present, gives us an
animal entitled to the careful con-
sideration of class of our farmers. A
standardized roadster stallion of supe-
rior style and finish, and weighing in
proper condition 1000 pounds, or up
ward, is grand acquisition to a COM
munity of discriminating farmers.
from such sire and well-bred, clean
limbed, good-styled roadster mares
weighing LOO pounds or more, a class
of colts should be produced that will
always be in demand for carriage work
in our cities. as we'll as adapted. to a
certain extent. to the wants of a class
of our American farmers.

QUICK WORK.
A Machine That Converts Cream Into
Butter Instantly.


Yet another invention relating to
dairying is about to be introduced to
the British public, says the London Ag-
ricultural Gazette. 1t is the work Of
DR.. De Laval, of Sweden, whose sep
arators are SO we'll known all over the
world. The latest outcome of his in
ventive brain is called the lnstantan.
eous Butter-Maker, and will be ex-
hibited in the working dairy at the
Plymouth meeting of the Royal Agr1-
cultural Society. For some time past
rumors have been circulated of this
machine, and comments on it have ap-
peared in the agricultural press. but
its introduction to the English public
has wisely been delayed by the makers
and their English agents, the Dairy
Supply Company, Limited, Museum
street, London, until it could be put to
the test. We have been furnished with
the following descriptions:
Dairymen are acquainted with the
well-known form of the Laval Steam
Turbine Separator, which was awarded
the gold medals of the British Dairy
Farmers Association and the Royal
Manchester and Liverpool Agricultural
Society. To this separator the new
churn is attached. 1t consists of cyl
;nder about twelve inches long and four
inches in diameter within which q
dasher revolves at about three thousand
revolutions per minute, being driven
by rope belt of the same kind as is
used to drive power separator
from the separator spindle. The
cream, on leaving the separator in
the usual way, passes over an ingen-
iously cOntrived refrigerator of new de-
sign which is admirably calculated to
reduce the temperature as low as pOsSi-
BILE with very small consumption of
cold water; it then enters at one end Of
the cylinder, in the course of its passage
through which the cream is churned
into butter, and energies at the other
end in a granular form. Dairymen who
have had their butter-milk analysed
from time to time know that there is
great loss in the present system of
churning large quantities of cream, as
it is impossible to ensure that every
butter globule shall receive the same
amout of conclusion: and hence the but
ter-milk often contains a large percent
age of butter.
This is avoided with DR.. De Laval's
new invention. as the cream must pass
equally through the cylinder, receiving
regular and rapid conclusion from
the revolving dasher. The cylinder is
inclosed in water casing so that the
temperature is kept very low and the
butter is consequently firm. 1t is very
free from buttermilk, and therefore
keeps we'll. The churn is fixed to the
separate frame and can be attached to
any of the Laval machines. AS shown
on the turbine the whole process of sep
arating the milk and churning the but
ter is performed by a jet of steam direct
from the boiler without the interven.
ton of shafting. betting. or an engine
of any, kind. The churn has no COM
plex arrangements about it, and moth
inr could be more simple than the way
in which it can be taken to pieces and
cleaned. The process is entirely auto
matte, requiring very little power and
attention while in use.

was dressed in new suit of clothing.
This was William Kemmler, who was
Behind him walked DIR. w. E. HOugh-

Kemmler was by far the coolest man
in the party. He did not look about the
room with any special degree of inter
est. He hesitated as the door was
closed behind him and carefully locked
by an attendant on the other side, as it
he did not know exactly what to do.
''Give ne chair, will you?" said the
warden.
Some one quickly handed him a
wooden chair which he placed in front
and little to the right of the execution
chair, facing the little circle of men.
Warden Durston stood at the left of
the chair, with his hand on the back of
it, and, almost at the moment that
Kemmler took his seat he began to
speak in short. quick periods
Now, gentlemen" he said, this is
that he has got to die, and if he has any
thing to say he will say it"
As the warden finished. Kemmler
looked up and said in a high-keyed
voice. without any hesitation and as il
he had prepared himself with the speech:
well, wish every ono good luck in
this world, and l think l am going to a
good place, and the papers has been
saying lot of stuff that amt So That
is all have to tell"
With the conclusion Of the speech he
turned his back on the jury and took of
his coat and handed it to the warden.
Kemmler was perfectly cool He was
by all odds the coolest man in the room.
When his tie was arranged, he sat
down in the electric chair as quietly as
if he were sitting down to dinner.
Warden Durston stood on the right
and George Yelling. Of Albany. on the
left. They began Immediately to ad
just the straps around Reminders body,
the condemned man holding up his
arms so as to give them every assist
lance. When the straps had been ad
justed about the body, the arms were
fastened down. and then the warden
leaned over and parted Reminders fee
so as to bring his legs near the legs Of
the chair.
When the straps had been adjusted t.
the body and limbs. the warden placed
his hand on Reminders head and helc
it against the rubber cushion which
ran down the back of the chair. Kemm
ler's eyes were turned toward the oppo
site side OF the room. Before they hat
followed the warden in his movement
about. Then the condemned man mad,

and ''Durs ton, see that things are al
