than any other thing intended for the throat and

for their use, Compound Oxygen increases the
power of the respiratory organs, and gives
strength and power the voice. IL is also perma-

advantage of making them much less liable to

CONCLUSIONS ON Spraying.


Summing up the results Of the work
of the past season at the Hatch expert
ment station, the following conclusions
are drawn;
That the apple scab, pear leaf blight
and cracking Of the fruit, the peach and
plum fruit rot, the plum leaf blight and
plum black wart, the grape powdery
mildew and black rot, the raspberry
anthracnose and the potato leaf blight
and rot may be wholly OF largely PIE
vented when the solutions of copper are
properly applied.
That by the combined use Of the Bor-
deaux mixture and paris green the above
fungi are prevented, the tent caterpil-
lars and cankerworms are killed, and
the injury to the apple and pear from
the codling moth, and to the plum and
peach by the plum cureulio, may be
largely prevented.
That if the spores of the plum wart
become established in the tree the cop
per solutions do not stop its growth, but
that by painting with "kerosene paste"
they are destroyed at once.
That the peach foliage is very suscep-
tible to injury from copper solutions,
and that these solutions must be applied
at from one-third to one-fourth the
strength used upon the apple and pear.

The Fogy Not without His Uses.

Isn't it about time that some one at
tempted a defense of the 'old fogy?" In
these days there is no one more decried.
He is popularly supposed to block the
wheels Of enterprise, to stand in the way
of progress, and nearly every association
has two or three Of these people whom
the members would gladly throw over
board if they could. The odd thing about
all this is the fact that the sold fogy"
has usually been one Of the creators Of
the very body which seeks to be rid of
him. In the beginning he was indefati-
gable; he labored long and earnestly to
procure funds, and was at considerable
personal sacrifice to put this or that in
stitution on its feet.
Now that things are finally settled
and paid for and everything is in good
running order he is disposed to let well
enough alone for little time. But this
will not do at all for the young blood
which is constantly pouring in. The
new element is full of progressive ideas
and suggestions of innovations, and
when it meets resistance on the part of
the sold fogy" there is a clashing of
opinions.-Buffalo Courier.

Cold Water Injuries Plants.

Guard against the application of cold
or hard water to the roots of plants, and
especially in the winter months, when
there has been heavy fall of snow, hail
or cold rains. The water in the tanks
then becomes very much too cold. This
may not be noticed in the ordinary
course Of things, and the plants are sure
to suffer check at the roots that, in the
case of camellias, for instance, would
be quite sufficient to cause bud dropping.
l am always very careful that the water
in our tanks is a few degrees warmer
than the house in which the plants are
growing. This is very important in sue
cessful plant culture.
We are apt to say sometimes on be-
holding a sickly plant-one mildewed or
with rust on the foliage-that it must
have been subjected to a draft or cur
rent Of cold air, whereas the probable
cause was the use Of cold water, which
paralyzed the roots. Proof of this may
easily be seen by giving one or two ap-
plications of cold water to winter Gu
cumbers or kidney beans when setting
their pods.-Exchange

Ordering his Own Tombstons

A countryman called on a sculptor in
Tilsit and ordered tombstone in the
shape Of a cross, and gave full instruc-
tions as to the lettering and the date Of
the decease and promised to fetch it
away himself. He failed, however, to
turn up at the day appointed, and the
sculptor wrote to remind him of his
promise. The other day the man turned
up at last, but said that he wanted the
date erased. On being asked his reason
for the strange request the countryman
answered that a gypsy woman had told
him that he would die on the day which
he had ordered to be inscribed on the
cross; the prophecy had not, however,
come true, and he now wanted to take
away the monument, but without the
date.-Deutsche Warte.

Perhaps some of our readers would like to
know in what respect chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is better than any other. We will
tell you. When this Remedy is taken as
soon as a cold has been contracted, and be-
fore it has become settled in the system, it
will counteract the effect of the cold and
greatly lessen it's severity, and it is the Only
remedy that will do this. It acts in perfect
harmony with nature and aids nature in re-
lieving the lungs, opening the secretions
the mucus and causing its expul,
sion from the air cells Of the lungs and re-
storing the system to strong and healthy
condition. No other remedy in the market
possesses these remarkable properties No
,ther will cure a cold so quickly. For sale

Pavinr streets mith Corl..

A material which is being satisfao-
torily introduced for paving streets is
composed of granulated cork and btu
men pressed into blocks, and which are
laid like bricks or wood paving, the spe-
cial advantage secured being that of
elasticity. In roadways it furnishes a
fine foothold for horses, and at the same
time does away to a great degree with
the noise which commonly accompanies
city traffic. In Australia this method
has been resorted to with excellent re-
sults.-New York Sun.
