For three years or more the United
States department of agriculture has
been engaged in the investigation of
grape diseases, the object being to
discover, if possible, cheap, practic-
able and efficient remedies for such
troubles as downy and powdery mil
dew, black rot, anthracnose, etc. A
means of preventing all of these dis
eases has been discovered, and now
thousands of grape-growers all over
the country are saving crops which a
few years ago were totally lost. Far
mers' bulletin No. 4, which will soon
be issued by the department of agri
culture at Washington, gives full
directions for treating these diseases.
It also describes the diseases in such
a way that any grape-grower will be
able to recognize them, and closes
with full directions for manufacturing
the remedies, and an estimate of the
cost ofthe entire work. Write to the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton for a copy.

Western Railroad, has been sending ont
pamphlets prepared Dy experts, who have
tested the s0ll here with view of ascer-
tanning its beet raising qualities, aud the
tests are most nattering and prove beyond

equal to any portion of the globe for the
profitable culture OF sugar beets.

authority, that "A syndicate of German
capitalists and beet sugar experts has
been formed to invest $3.50, 900 in sugar
plant at Winchester, aud that Frederick
county farmers are arranging To plant
$500 acres in sugar beets this spring
This is a splendid beginning, and the re-
salts of this test will be watched Win

As the season moves swiftly toward the

strain of winter, shows signs OF relaxa-
ton. In all ages this period has been
noted as dangerous one, especially to

strengthens the weak and the delicate,
