FACTS FOR FARMERS.

EXPERIMENTS made in spraying one
side of the peach trees with insecticides
and leaving the other side untouched
confirm the claim that the depredations
Of the curculio and other insects can
be prevented, as the comparison of the
trees show great advantages resulting
from spraying.
EVERY now and then some writer in
the stock journals suggests proper
ration for an animal based on its size
or weight, in spite of the fact that this
is about the least reliable guide one
can have. Almost every one knows that
men do not eat in proportion to their
size aud weight, and neither do cows.
If any great success is to be made in
farming the man must follow that par

so well that he can put his whole soul

CHICAGO, Nov. ia local paper asserts
that membeIso of the Columbian Catholio
organization are much incensed at Solicitor

and will demand his resignation. The
trouble lssald to be due to a speech made by
Butterworth before Il club recently in tho

fair, he dwelt on Italy and said that if he
owned Italy he would nave a gr eat auction

Then he would sell 1000 Ma donnas and
