The Reported Discovery Made by an
English Doctor.
PARIS, Oct. 1S.-Great interest was
caused yesterday by a report from Simla,
India, that an English doctor there had
succeeded in discovering, separating and
neutralizing special microbe of leprosy.
Pasteur says: "A leprosy microbe has
been understood for some time by medi-
cal men. a Sw edish doctor. Hankel.
first discovered its existence. He
showed it to me and / examined it
in his laboratory. The microbe is re-
markable for its infinite small size and
It's extreme activity. 1t may be found in
vast numbers even in cells attacked by
the contagion.
There is no doubt that, with our ex-
perience, leprous vaccine will soon be
discovered. 1t is even possible that, with
the experience already gained, such re-
suit may be at once obtained. To say.
however, that leprosy may, from the
present moment, be cured, is quite
another affair, as we must await results,
which are often disappointing"

The Lump Crusher.

An efficient 'slump crusher' or ''clod
crusher" may be made of plank four to
four and one-half feet long and seven or
eight inches wide, spiked on to side pieces
five or SIX feet long. Cut the side pieces
so as to allow the planks to be nailed on
like clapboards, tapping one or two inches
Allow the forward pant TO turn up about
like a well made stone boat, and affix
rings for attaching the team. The
size and thickness of stock may
be varied according to the work ey-
pected of it and the team that can be used
in drawing it. A yoke Of oxen or pair of
heavy horses would work one FIVE feet wide
and six feet long, while one four by four
feet would be heavy enough for one good
horse. Or the driver might ride upon one
ofthe light weight, and III a soil that needed
but little work to pulverize it it might dc
sufficiently good work without added
weight. For the mere packing of the soil
and breaking of clay humps one of these is
often better that roller. A soil which is
mostly clay will need one of the heavier
weight than sandy loan. Like rolling
the use of this implement works up the
soil so that the plant roots can penetrate
it in their search for food, and after SOW
ing it presses the soil down to the seed
giving better chance for termination IL
a dry season.

Asparagus.

Many ignorant persons says a writer in
the Massachusetts Pioughman, allow the
asparagus stalks to stand III the fall until
they shed their berries, or even to stand
out all winter, when most of them get
shaken off by the wind and eaten by birds
These seeds that fall upon the land will
terminate freely nong the old establish
ed plants and are apt to escape destruc-
ton along the line of the rows where the
cultivator does not reach them
they make the worst of weeds, crowdipg
the larger roots to their injury aud pro-
duci1 nothing but small grass" the best
remedy is preventive one-namely, to cut
out in the fall all plants bearing berries
before they fall off easily and remove them
from the field and burn them. Another
point, an asparagus field MANFRED with
tarmyard or city stable manure is almost
sure to become infested with weeds tc

The Milking Stool,

Some dairgmen make the milking stoo
with only one leg. The only merit that
this sort OF stool has is that it is cheap
And when it tips over into the manure il
i, both cheap and nasty. The milking
stool should nave at least three legs. And
the legs should flare out" at the bottom.
A stool made that way will stand firmly
on any uneven floor, and should he kept
in clean place when not in use. If a
narrow slot be cut in the seat CT the stool
you can drop your fingers in the slot and
pick up milking stool.

ble In the COW stable-and everywhere

such degree that it is difficult to keep it
clean; better material for fertilizing the
bed Is fine ground bone and muriate of
potash app led at the rate of FIVE hundred
pounds each per acre and worked into the
soil by the horrov and cultivator in
spring, or spread after the cutting sea-
son is over, just as may be found
most convenient: the fertilizer is needed
late In the season in order to produce a
heavy aftergrowth, upon which the
strenth OF the roots depends, and with
this, of course, the certainty of a good
crop the next year. Whether the fertil-
lzer will act most efectually spread early
in the spring at the end of the season de-
ponds much on the weather. In order to
make sure that the fertilizer is soaked in
as deeply as the roots go it is probably
better to spread it early in the season.

MY KINGDOM AND MY QUEEN

My kingdom has no dazzling throne,
No palace grand upon it,
Yet It's as bright a. = or was known,
Or sung in loyal sonnet,
I've travelled east, | travelled west,
Mid scenes of wealth and splendor,
But this one spot love the best,
With all its joys so tender;
No place 50 dear I've ever seen,
For peace reigns here, and Love is queen.
Two subjects in my kingdom dwell,
One has an eye of azure
And smiles upon her face tell
OF pure and p rfect pleasure;
And one has hair of raven hue
And eyes of hazel beauty,
And what e'er he may strive to
He always does his duty
And faithful they have been
To her who is my household queen.
And as life yielded me newer joy
And hope divine and human,
] see one now no more boy
And one almost a woman,
The bright days come, the bright days 60,
And each brings some new pleasure,
And no spot on earth | know
Is richer with heart-treasure.
Nor happier subjects ne'er were seen
Than in my home where Love is queen.
By no high-sounding royal name
Or title they address her,
AS cheerily, thar eyes atiame
With love, they kiss and bless her;
But with voice of gentle tone,
Which Joy gives to each other,
They call her by one name alone,
The halloWed name of motkeri
A name the sweetness known to man
Since time and love their course began.

Results of Feeding Roots.

Carrots are better adapted for borses,
producing sleek coat, healthy appear
ance and good appetite. A horse getting
a mess of them every night seldom re-
quires medicine. Sheep that have a fair
share Of turnips or mangels through tue
winter aud spring seldom lose their wool
before shearing. The ewes have stronger
lambs and better flow of milk that
brings them on earlier and faster for the
market, and the whole flock go
upon grass in good condition
Mich cows give a larger
flow Of milk and richer in quality
which means more butter and better
calves. The old COWS can be made into
excellent beef. The young cattle can be
brought tito value much sooner and with
more profit The manure pile will be
much larger and Of better quality. One
man III Ontario few years ago raised 90
900 bushels Of turnips. A neighbor said
TO him: Mr.. F. you had better sell LOCO
bushels. They will bring you $1,000
No" he says, Il want them all fed on
the farm, to go into manure. " And
he led ali of them. Farms on which
roots are raised and fed are
getting more productive every
year. The dairymen say they would dis
pose of their cows if they could not have
the roots for them. Those that feed cat
tie for export say they could not do it with
profit without them. One man says:
Il could not educate my children as | do
ii it were not for roots" And numbers
Of others tell US they have lifted mart,
cages that they could not hive done
otherwise. In conclusion, let me say that
the root crop puts millions of dollars into
the pockets of the farmers Of Ontario
every year. And the individual benefit
cannot be estimated-H. Williams in
