The annual meeting of the stockholders of OAR
ltngtOn Cemetery was held at the Chapel on the
grounds, on Monday, Jan. 8, 1891.
The Secretary. in presenting the report of the
Treasurer. said:
Mr. President and Gentlemen;
We herewith present the Treasurer's report of
the finances Of Darlington Cemetery for the year
1890. This really constitutes the chief, ifnot the
casion.
He may be permitted. however, to re-iterate the
hope that he has repeatedly expressed at previ-
Gus annual meetings. that some influential friend
or friends of the Cemetery, where many of our
loved ones already repOse. and where we. our
selves, soon must join them, let us reiterate the
hope. we say, that some friend or friends of
means will erect q suitable cottage within the
grounds for the fixed residence of the Sexton. 1t
would be a ereditable, noble, and loving act.
memory and good deeds would thus be perpetuated.
The Sexton should reside upon the grounds, to
be accessible at all times and to have constant
oversight over the Cemetery and its silent sleep
ers.
The Cemetery Company IS not financially able to
build the needed cottage; and hence can not keep
care-taker at all times upon the grounds.
We still trust that our oftexpressed hope, in this
regard. will yet yield the much desired results
The Treasurers report shows5,h the receipts
from all sources for the year 1890. including the
interest on the $4,000 legacy bequeathed the
Cemetery Company by its most generous friend
and founder, the late Thomas King amounts to
S346.56. and the expenditures for the same time
S2O5,s4
The greater part of this amount will be needed
for contemplated improvements to be made in the
opening of spring.
At this meeting the stockholders showed their
satisfaction with the management of the Cemetery

they attack. Thr ough experiments
which we first began in this country in
1886 and 1887, liquid remedies have
been discovered which effectually
serve, when properly prepared and APP
piled, to save our crops from the class
of parasites last named In acting as
a preventive an essential property of
the preparation used is its adhesive
ness SO far, all things considered,
nothing has been found superior to the
Bordeaux mixture, which, as every
one knows, is compound of lime and
sulphate of copper-lime, one pound,
sulphate of copper, one pound, water,
five gallons.
At the same time that we began eXper-
imenting with liquid remedies for the
downy midews and the rot, we tried
also certain powders having a sui
phate of copper base. The result OBJ
tanned by the use of these was less
marked than that from the liquids;
they were somewhat difficult of prep
aration, and no satisfactory bellows
could be procured for applying them,
hence their use in our experiments was
abandoned. In 1883 we obtained u
good form of bellows from France
see cut-but then attention was so
strongly given to the liquid prepare
tons that the powders received little
notice.
There are two powders which have
given results that warrant their being
further tried; they are sulphatine and
sulpho-steatite or cupric steatite, the
formula for which have given in cir
cular of the division of vegetable
pathology, published by the United
States department of agriculture. The
first, sulphatine, may be prepared by
mixing thoroughly
Anhydrous sulphate OF "copper". pounds
Flowers of sulphur. ......... ....2)
Stacked lime. ......... .......,..
We used this at Fayetteville, N. c., and
at Charlottesville, Va, in 1887.
Sulpho-steatite have not tried, but
it is an exceedingly fine powder, and is
regarded as the most adherent Of all
those yet employed | have but one
official report regarding its value pub
lished in bulletin of the division of
vegetable pathology UNITED States
department of agricultural PIP. II, 70
and 81. OF number of powders used
it alone gave satisfactory results as a
preventive of mildew (Peronospora)
standing second only to the Bordeaux
mixture. 1t is composed of steatite or
soapstone and anhydrous sulphate of
copper, in proportion of 10 pounds of
the former TO one pound of the latter.
Before attempting to use powders in
combating our fungous foes, we must
have something more suitable for APP
plying them than anything have yet
seen offered for sale. The bellows fig
ured above is simple, easy of construc
ton, can be made at little cost, and is

Farmers who have been giving atten,
ton almost solely to hogs, to the ex
clusion of other branches of live stock,
would generally do well to substitute
the sheep for the hogs to some extent.
The British farmer on high priced
lands finds his best profit in sheep
notwithstanding the fact that the
whole world sends mutton free to that
country. We have cheaper lands, and
cheaper grain and grass, and if we
have the proper sheep and exercise
proper care over our focks we can
make cheaper mutton. In connection

PAPER COLLARS.

Disuse.

A Novel Invention Which Has Gone Into
No one ever inquiries in Broadway
furnishing store any more for paper col
lars or paper cuffs, and yet less than ten
years ago big trade was done in these
articles. They have, it would seem,
gone quietly out of vogue; their re-
tirement curiously contrasting with the
hard fight which accompanied their in
PRODUCTION about the year 1872. Who
was the inventor of them? Necessity
in the form of starving poet of whose
productions, excellent though they
were, the only one remembered to-day
is passage, quoted by Fielding in the
introduction to the seventh book of
Tom Jones'"
From Thee all human actions take their
springs,
The rise of empires and the fall OF kings.
See the vast theater OF time displayed
While DER the scene succeeding heroes tread
With pomp and shining images succeed,
What leaders triumph and what monarchs
bleed;
Perform the parts Thy providence designed,
lN''''~'A'
clined.
Awhile they glitter in the face Of day,
Then at Thy nod the phantoms pass away;
No traces left of all the busy scene,
But that remembrance says-the things have
been"
The last line seems peculiarly appro-
pirate to the subject in hand. But to
return. The author was Samuel Boyse,
born in Dublin, 1898, son of minister,
brilliant poor and improvident, as
most men of his class were at the time.
Cibber in his 'Lives of the Poets" says
of him. whenever his distresses so
pressed on him as to induce him to dis
pose of his shirt he fell upon an arti.
fetal method of supplying one. He cut
some white paper in slips which he tied
round his wrists and in the same man
ner supplied his neck. In this plight
he frequently appeared abroad"
Poets in those days could not set the
fashion else poor Boyse might have an
ticipated the Count D'Orsay by wearing
no collar at all.
Another article not now inquired for
is the dickey. This consisted of shirt
bosom and collar combined. They were

THE FARMING WORLD.
FUNGUS DISEASES.
Experiments with Powders for Combating
the NoxlouS Grovths

Experiments with Powders for Combating
the Noxlous Growths.
The value of the flowers of sulphur
in combating the fungous diseases of
plants has been long known; in fact, it
was one of the first substances EN-.
ployed for this purpose. Before the vary
ing nature of the fungi which attack
cultivated plants was well understood
sulphur had come to be looked upon as
panacea for all the blights and rots
and mildews that plants are heir to,
and much time and money were spent
in applying it to cases where now we
can see that it could be of no more
value than so much dust from a dry
road. In speaking of the treatment of
plant diseases due to fungi | have re-
peatedly pointed out the character of
those in which the use of flowers of
sulphur might be efficacious, Those
caused by the powdery or white mil
dew are of this class. The powdcry
mildew of the grape, or oidium, as
some name it, is readily held in check
by timely applications of this sub
stance. All the powdery mildews live
upon the surface of the plants they at
tack, and hence are directly exposed to
the action of the sulphur fumes and
are readily destroyed by them
Such is not the case with the downy
mildews (Peronospora)o the fungus of
black-rot. The mycelium of these
parasites penetrates deeply the it's
sues of the plants they infest When
they have once gained an entrance to
these tissues, we may only hope to pre-
vent their fruiting which happily takes
place upon the outside, but we cannot
destroy the parasite without at the
same time destroying the plant at
tackled. Preventive measures must be
sought We ought to destroy so far as
we can do 50 the germs of fungi, and
then prevent those which escape de-
struction from gaining an entrance to
the tissue of the vines or other plants
