Froma report Of the Connecticut State
Station it Is learned that the Bordeaux
mixture was successfully applied for
black rot in a vineyard OF Concord
grapes at Meriden, Conn. The untreated
rows failed to produce any grapes,
while the treated rows yielded a crop Of
from sixty to seventy five pcr cent. il
good condition. The mixture was also
applied to two large trees OF Lombard
plums for the black knot and plum. leaf
fungus. The two treated trees held
their foliage intact up to severe frost in
October, showed hardly any black knot
and matured fair amount OF fruit, while
an untreated tree near by was defoliated
in August, matured no fruit and was
badly infested by the black knot.
The application of the Bordeaux mix.
ture 1t Hampton, Conn, to the potato
vines attacked by the blight resulted In
the partial preservation OF the foliage.
but for some unexplained reason, The
crop Of potatoes from the treated rows
did not weigh as much proportionateIy
as that from the untreated rows. -New

mont was made because the COW was q
pure dun color without markings OF any
sort. This purity Of color Is oftca assoc
ciaicd with the Aldcrncy COW but Il is
not al infalliblc proof by any means.
The three breeds &C strains Of Aldernoy,
Jersey and Guernsey originated on the
three small islands which lie of the
coast OF France and known as the Chan
mel Islands, where they have been bred
with the greatest care for over hun
drcd years. There is heavy penalty
against the importation OF any other
breed Of cattle to the islands, SO that the
purity Of tho breed is unquestionable.
The first expectations to England were
from Alderncy but the Island OF Jersey
is so much larger that by far the greater
number OF cattle have come from Il,
The importation OF Jerseys began about
thirty-6vc years ago and their registry
system is very complete SO that IL you
have registered animal there would be
no difficulty ia deciding whether she is
JERSEY or not as the Alderneya and
Guernscys are not admitted 20 the Jersey
Herd Book but have a smaller register Of
their own. Tho actual difference be-
tween the three breeds is small, so small
that they are often olassod together as
Channel Island cattle. The Guernseys
are slightly larger and the Aldcrneys, as
rule. little smaller than the Jerseys,
The Alderney cattle are apt to be OF a
solid fawn color, while the other breeds
vary from light gray to dark brown or
black. AS to their butter producing
power, there scems 20 DO no real differ

necessary for poultry to grasp the roost.
no way out Of the difficulty presented f.
self except the und ssirable one Of raising
birds Of less weight. Later light came

There are many reasons for the lack
of fruitfulness in plants. A tree may fail
to produce flowers. and therefore no fruit
can subsequently follow. The plant may
be laden with bloom and still no fruit
result. In such case 1t is possible that
one Of several circumstances may bring
about the result. The pollen Il defective
will not fertilize the seed vessels. This
Is well illustrated in some varieties Of
strawberries that are termed pistillate be-
cause the stamens are abortive. There
may be lack Of insects for the transfer
Of pollen from one flower to another, and
the pistils fail to enlarge and develop
seeds. When heavy rains come at the
time the flowers arc in full bloom, there
are many reasons why the fruit fails.

W. J. Chamberlain X Co.'S Denver Financial circular has the following weekly review of the financial situa- ton: "The general reports of trade show only fair business at the various distributing points, for the clearing house returns from fifty cities show a decrease of nine per cent. from the same week last year. All the staple markets report dull ness, and in many cases lower prices. Woolens, groceries. sugars, hides, dry goods, cotton and wool are all easier. The shoe trade is being hurt by strike, and about the only point of improvement is the railway earn ings for April. The extreme sensi- tiveness of the financial situation is shown by the quick effect of any news for or against the market. The total gold shipped last week was s. 100000, and the continued steady drain creates continued conservatism. Russia withdrew gold again from London to the amount of S7.50O.O00. The European banks, however, con tinue to gain gold, the Bank of France having gained f750,O00 and Germany f250,000. Railroad stocks were steady and fairly active and, while the undercurrent has inn proved, the dealings are still marked by hesitation and timidity"
