everything pertaining to their history and
honor. Nearly 800 years have passed away
since the msny-minded poet fiourished there
but the Strattord-on-Avon of the present is
practically that of Shakespeare's time. The
pilgrim who walks the quiet streets of the
quaint old Warwickshire village will he
shown a rude thatched house on Henley
street, where in the beautiful sprlng-tme of
the seventh year of the reign of Queen
Elizabeth, was born the immortal bard. The
pilgrim will also be shown the church in
which the poet was baptized and buried; the
same beautiful Avon river in which he
fshed and swan; the schoo!house wherein he
was taught his first lessons in the language
which he knew SO we'll; the same pathway
through the woods and fields leading to the
cottage of Sweet Anne Rathaway;" in fact
the lovely little town is SO prevailed by the
memory of the worlds greatest poet that the

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

THE making of good butter begins
with the feed and care of the COW, and
is followed up until the butter is placed
in the market.
WHILE milk and butter, of course,
take something from the soil, we need
not worry about the matter, Dairying
will never ruin the soil.
The farmers wife cannot be expect
ed to make fine butter, to wash, iron,
bake and tend babies, in the same room;
she must have the necessaries of the
dairy to work with.
DON'T let the cows stand in mud to
their bellies, nor half way there. They
are better "shut up in the barn" Have
the windows and doors open unless a
cold wind will blow ON them.
Ii your cows are wintered on the sun
ny side of barbed wire fence and pick
their living at the straw stacks and in
the stalks, it is no wonder that your
good wife's butter brings no better
prices.
BUTTER tests made with corn and col
ground together indicate that cob meal
is worth as much as meal from corr
alone. Next we may hear that little
sawdust added will improve the col
meal ration.-Farm, Field and Stock

or bin, and therefore the merch ant and
the consumer may join with the pro-
Queer in sharing the loss that comes
from this cause.
The trouble is due to a microscopic
growth of fungous nature, and the
spread of it through the root is similar
to that of a mildew through leaf, or
a mold through piece of bread or
cake.
At least three kinds of spores arc
formed by the black-rot fungus, so
that there are abundant provisions for
the propagation of the trouble, besides
the method as illustrated at in the en-
craving. The sprout is here seen, and
it will be observed that the upper por-
ton and the lowest leaf are repre-
scented dark, to indicate that they are
dead and shriveled. This is due to the
growth of the same fungus as the one
causing the spots, large and small, in
the potato at a. The lower portion of
| the sprout, c, which normally is color
less from being under ground and Gov
! cred with small roots, is in this case
spotted with long, dark patches, also
due to the fungus in question. Should
such plant be set in the field, it would
be quite sure to develop potatoes af-
fected with the black rot, provided il
survived. In all such cases the disease
has probably gone from the root used
as seed" in the propagating bed to the
sprouts that grow from it. Laboratory
experiments were made in growing
sprouts from diseased roots, and inva
riably the sprouts would be attacked
and worthless,
This point suggests the utmost i'm
portance in selecting the seed" that
it be entirely free from the black rot
If there be doubt about this, it woulC
be wise to obtain roots from locality
where no black rot has been known.
A second precaution is to discard al
sprouts not perfectly healthy.
1t is possible that some subst anc'
may be found by experiment that wheI
sprayed upon the hot beds will assis
materially in checEidg the black rot
In like manner there may be some
treatment for the roots after digging
that will prevent any further growth
of the rot. None of the tests made witt
various substances added to the soil a
setting time have given material re
lief. In fields where the rot is yer,
bad, it may be wisest to devote the lam
for few years to some other crop, anC
thus permit the fungus that is in tn
soil to die out

The Persians, Love for Relics.

AS illustrating the pecpliarities and
also the dangers of Oriental travel, Sir
Richard Burton relates an adventure
he encountered while visiting Persian
village, in the disguise of a fakir. A
house was assigned to him, and, in Or
der to keep up his reputation as holy
man, he scribbled some holy words on
the outside Of his door with bit of
phosphorus This was done, of course,
while daylight lasted, and when dark
ness descended, the holy mans house
was decorated with a flaming text from
the Koran. But the result was hardly
what Sir Richard anticipated. The vii.
layers were at first surprised, then i'm
pressed, and then there was a rush fol-
relics of the holy man, and in a very
short time the whole house was pulled
down over his head! The assumed
fakir made his escape very rapidly and
during the remainder of his journey
never made use of the phosphorus
again. Golden Days.

TASTY PLANT LABELS.
One That Is Simple, Cheap and Shows the
Name Legibly.

The cross form of the labels, as so
often seen in European public parks
and private ornamental grounds, Is
open to the criticism of imparting to
such resorts of pleasure and recreation
a somewhat cemetery-like appearance.
Mr.. r. Endlicher, German landscape
gardener, uses and recommends the
style of label shown in annexed en-
craving. This label is not only simple,
cheap and practical, but also quite
tasty and pleasing to the eye, and at
the same time showing the pane leg
IDLY and prominently. The label part
is cut or stamped out of heavy sheet
zinc. The form to be adopted may be
the one shown in illustration, or it may
vary from this according to individual
taste. The face side is given two coats
of black paint, and upon this, when
thoroughly dry, the name is to be writ
ten with white paint prepared from
rectified varnish and white lead. Only
the very best quality of each ingre-
dent should be used. The writing
may be done with a common soft pen,
after the point has been dulled on a
grindstone, or better with a. goose
quill. The use of upright Roman char
acters, as shown on sample label in
illustration, admits of crowding the

production Of the mines where we seek
combustible minerals and metals, the
subject will be found to be one of pro-
portionate Importance, since all the
conditions of financial and commercial
power are sc intimately connected with
the existence of subterranean wealth.
The value of the entire products of all
the mines of the earth, which they yield
during the year, is now estimated at
more than two thousand millions of
dollars. The precious metals, gold and
silver, represent but seventh part of
this treasure taken from the earth's
subterranean stores The greater part
of the gold comes from the mines of
California and Mexico, and from those
of Brazil, Venezuela and the Argentine
Republic. Next to these are rated Can
ada, Australia and India. The Trans
vaal in southern Africa acquires con-
stantly increasing Importance; in 1886,
the export of gold was 69,543 pounds
sterling; in 1887, 1873, 5S4 pounds; in 1888,

a revenue three times as great as that
which is derived from all the silver and
gold mines combined. In this colossal
revenue given by coal, Great Britain
has the lions share; at present 1t draws
upon its coal mines for two hun

SWEET POTATO ROT.
What Prof. Halsted Knows About This
Disastrous Disease.

What Prof Halsted Knows About This
Disastrous Disease.
Among the various fungous diseases
that attack the sweet potato none is
usually more destructive and therefore
more annoying to the grower than
what is known as "black rot" so
named because the tubers thus affected
turn to dark color, and in the worst
cases change to a powdery substance
almost as black as coal,
Prof. Byron d. Halsted, of the New
Jersey experiment station, who has
made an investigation of these diseases,
describes the black rot in recent num-
Der Of the Country Gentleman.
The accompanying engraving, at a,
he says, shows a sweet potato as it APP
pears when badly attacked by the black
rot. There are five diseased patches
shown-two small and two quite large
The decay begins at certain points
perhaps the base of small side root
and gradually spreads throughout the
potato. At digging time the root may
not show any signs of the decay, but
will often make its appearance later
In other words, the black rot is a form
of decay that continues to spread in the
root, whether the latter be in the sol

When coal was first used in England

that the house of commons petitioned
the king to prohibit the use of the ''nox-

ing failed to abate the nuisance, COM
mission was issued to ascertain who
burned coal within the city of London
and its neighborhood, to punish them
by force for the first offense, and by the
demolition of their furnaces if they per
sisted in transgressing. A law was
finally passed making it a capital Of
Tense to burn coal in the city, and only
permitting it to be used by forgers in
the vicinity, 1t is stated that among
the records in the tower of London a
document was found, according tc
which man was hanged in the time OF

GOOD HEIFER CALVES.
How to Develop Them Into Profitable an
Healthy Cows.

-
Healthy Cows.
No one will deny that to have goo
mixers we must raise the good heife
calves, and / wish to note few thing
in this regard that have found of pra,
teal service to me.
First, the calf paddock is one of tn
things to do away with. Why? 81
cause as long as you are feedin
skinned milk the calf should be COZ
fined in small shed with a chance
exercise in the COW yard where TIL
cows are out on grass. My practice is
to take the calf as soon as dropped and
feed it the new milk of it's dam for
three or four days; then commence on
sweet skim milk for one or two weeks;
then gradually on to thick sour milk.
Now at about this age is when most
dairymen turn the calf into the pad
dock and it is just this period that is
most critical in the calls life. An at
tack of "scours" at this time is sure to
make q ''runt" or stunted COW. The
cause is that grass and curdled milk do
not work well together. Keep the calf
In an Enclosure with plenty of shade
and good dry hay, either alfalfa or any
of the dried grasses
If the calf was a very early one II
will do to wean in the fall and have the
run of the meadow until time to put up
for winter care. The milk should be
warmed to so or 65 degrees before Civ
ing to the calf. Some feed bran, mid
dlings or oatmeal, which is best.
These never should be mixed with the
milk but put in the bottom of the buck.
ct after the milk has been drunk. 1t is
not natural for calf to drink grain
any more than for COW to do it.
Give milk from six to eight months
with the grain ration increased to what
the size of the calf demands to keep il
growing until grass the next spring
The full calf has the best chance il
properly housed and fed during the
cold weather, as it is readyto wean al
grass time and there is no danger of it,
getting into the grass paddock before
the milk ration is taken off.
During the first winter if you have
small potatoes, feed them if not, few
beets, pumpkins, or any vegetable will
help to make them healthy, and i
healthy they are sure to make goot
growth during the winter. See that
they drink heartily of water at al
times, especially in the winter. If thu
water you give your cows has ice in i
do not offer to the calves. Warm it
See them drink with your own eyes
Never trust the chore boy or hired maj
about watering calves. They do no
see the point. w. f. Wing, in Farm
Field and Stockman.
