meat to the soul feeding upon them; so
that the vigor OF her spiritual life is not
wonder, but the natural outcome of a
strong spiritual diet. In her home she
was one of the most patient, most help

conducted by her pastor, Rev. Il. j.

were deposited in the cemetery at West

left Stanley Falls to punish the canni-
balls, and after days battle succeeded
in routing them and occupying their vii
lagos. Hundreds of the rebellious ma

around Stanley Falls are returning to
cannibalism, and that several have been
court-martialed and executed.

THE POTATO RUST.
HOW TO DEAL WITH IT.

Editor ofhe Register In response to
letter from Mr.. Moses II. Kelsey of
Salisbury, | called and examined his
potato-fields on Monday of this week.
One piece of potatoes is rusting, or
blighting. badly. | have visited large
number of potato-fields in different parts
of the State during the past two weeks
and have examined carefully for the
rust, but this is the first case of the
genuine disease / have seen this year.
Let us hope that it may be the last, for
the potato-crop throughout the State is
remarkably promising at present. But
this first case warns us that if the wealth
er becomes favorably warm and moist
the rust must be expected at any time
now.
| therefore wish through your columns
to again call the attention of potato
growers to the fact that by spraying the
vines with the mixture of blue vitriol and
lime known as the Bordeaux mixture
they can very largely prevent the rust.
If the application is to do any good, it
must be made in season-that is, upon
the very first signs of the rust, or, better,
before the rust appears at all.
Full directions for the preparation and
use of this mixture are given in Bulle.

SHERWOOD FOWLS.

their progeny were allowed to run at
liberty on the farm, intercrossing with
the stock of Cochin Chinas and light
Brahmas. The game cocks being more
courageous than the Cochins and Brah-
mas, the cocks of the latter breeds were
after some years entirely removed. In
succeeding years the white cocks from
these crosses were selected for breeding,
with view of fixing their character
istics in an established breed.
The Sherwoods derive from their light
Brahma or Asiatic parentage, heavy
body, but are shorter in leg and have
fuller breasts. They are stylish birds,
with close, compact bodies, Their yellow
bills, erect combs of medium size,
bright red earlobes, white plumage,
with yellow legs lightly feathered to the
outside toe, give them an attractive ap-
pearance. Their feathers are not fluffy,
but are close, like games, They endure
the cold weather better than the Asiatics
or other fowls of equal size. The young
chicks are also hardy. They grow rapid
ly, mature early, and are fit for broilers
at the age of 12 to ID weeks. They are
OF excellent quality for table use. The
Sherwoods are careful mothers and
tractable to handle. They are prolific
egg producers and the eggs are of large
size and fine flavor and good quality for
tabse. They are of good size, the cocks
weighing nine to ten pounds and the
hens seven TO eight pounds each.

Facts Worth Remembering.

The following notes in regard to spray
ing with poisonous substances for the
destruction Of insects and combating
fungoid growths, are condensed from a
paper read by Professor Maynard before
the Massachusetts Horticultural society:
OF all the arsenites paris green gives
the best results as an insecticide.
The longer the mixture containing ar
senites stands the greater the injury from
soluble arsenic.
The foliage Of the peach, plum and
cherry is more susceptible to injury than
that of the apple or pear.
The injury varies with the varieties,
some being more susceptible than others.
Young leaves are less injured than
those fully developed, and are more in
jured on weak trees than on those that
are vigorous and healthy.
Paris green cannot be used alone with
safety stronger than one pound to 300
gallons of water, but with the lime mix
ture it may be safely used at one pound
to from fifty to two hundred gallons.
The foliage is most injured when kept
constantly wet by light rains or foggy
weather, bat heavy rains lessen the injury.
The least injury is done when the
liquor dries off most rapidly.
The time of day when the application
is made is unimportant.
