FARM AND GARDEN.

THE Bordeaux mixture will be used
more freely this year, but more care
fully. The value of spraying with
fungicides is SO thoroughly established
that very few intelligent growers
would risk the losses that are quite
certain to be met without it.
A WRITER in the Michigan Farmer
says that he has been raising potatoes
for the past twenty years on from five
to twenty acres each year, and that
scab was more prevalent when he be-
gan than it is now. He attributes it to
the wireworm and not to fungus.
For ordinary work horse of average
size would be fed twelve pounds of oats
or other grain food and fifteen to
eighteen pounds of good hay; but if
driven on the road, two or three pounds
of hay morning and noon and eight or
ten at night, with the same quantity of
grain
Early chicks will have to contend
with filthy ground, and as gapes are
always present where filth exists the
places selected for chicks should be
very clean. 1t is much easier to pre-
vent gapes than to cure the cases. The
best way to do SO is to use air-slacked
lime freely on the ground. and use 1t
often. 1t will do no harm to the chicks,

and tie below the bud as shown in Fig
I The most important point in tying
is TO bind the bark firmly and smoothly

budded week or two they should be
examined, and if the growth is such
that the bands cut into the stock SO as
to injure it they should be loosened and

is well united.

stock is cut off with sharp knife,

TREE PROPAGATION.
The Operation Of Budding Faithfully De-
scrIbed by an Expert.


Many trees are propagated by bud
ding. which IS done from the middle #
July 70 the first Of September, when
the bark lifts readily without split
ting. Seedlings Of the present years
growth are generally budded, although
one and two-year old trees may be
worked. When budding young stocks
they should be carefully prepared by
trimming off all lower branches and
leaves for or inches from the
ground. The material for tying may
be the fiber obtained from the mats
that come around Russian iron or the
fibrous bark Of the Eastwood. This IS
cut into lengths of 10 TO y inches and
separated into thin, smooth bands one
fourth of an inch wide. Cotton warp,
obtained from cotton factories, IS used
extensively. The material must be
such as will not shrink when wet nor
expand or loosen when dry. The bud
ding knife must be sharp with blaze
rounded at the end, as shown in the

illustration. Some use an ivory blade
TO lift the bark.
The conditions for success are, /. the
stock must be in a vigorous growing
state so that the bark will peel easily;
Q, the bud must be well matured: 8,
the knife must be sharp; 4, the work
must be done rapidly; 5, the buds
must be firmly and evenly bound in
place
When everything is ready the first
thing is TO prepare lot of bud sticks,
shown in Fig. .. Shoots of medium
size are selected, taking care to get
only those that have but one leaf to a
joint. The lie ayes are cut off asshown,
leaving about one-fourth of an inch of
the stem. These sticks are the growing
wood Of the present year.
Make cross cut about two inches
from the ground, then IA longitudinal
one on the north side of the tree, So as
not to be injured by freezing and thaw-
ing. At the same time raise the bark a
little, as shown in Fig. 3. a bud stick
is then taken and cut is made through
the bark about one-half inch above the
bud, taking only very thin portion OF
the wood. The length of the cut must
be varied for the different kinds of
trees, say oue-haif inch long for
peaches and one inch for pears. cher
ries and apples. The prepared bud is
shown in Fig I.
After the bud is cut the lower end is
inserted under he raised bark of the
stock and pressed down. When the
bud is in position, as shown in Fig. 5, it
IS tied by holding one end Of the band
in the left hand, placing it against the
stock, and winding the other end over

THE BANGLE BRACELET.

A Fashion Craze that Used to Make the
Jewellers Happy.
There was q time within the memory
of most of the jewellers now in business
when no article of jewelry was moro
popular with q certain class OF Gus
toners than the bangle bracelet At
first the ornament consisted OF simple
chain from which was suspended coin
or q medallion with one side smoothed
and engraved with initials or q mono
gram. Afterward other bangles were
added to the ornament until the chain
could scarcely be seen on account OF its
numerous pendants.
The fashion amounted to . craze.
Girls and young ladies solicited from
their friends gifts Of rare or curious
coins, and having accumulated enough
to satisfy their ambition took them 70
jeweler to be perforated and engraved
with the initials OF their owners.
Within recent years the United States
government enacted . law prohibiting
the mutilation of coins either by perfo-
rating them or by grinding away the
design for the purpose OF engraving.
By this means the fashion came to an
untimely end, and tho jewelers. were
deprived Of an important sources O

THE BLACK DEATH.
Investigation into Its Origin BY Modern
Experts.

Investigation Into Ita Origin BY Modern
Experts.
DR.. Creighton looks upon it as "soil
poison" spread mainly by the move
ment Of the ground water, but does not
attempt sny further clucidation OF its
actual nature. We agree with him in
thinking that this and all similar pois-
ons must have originally arisen by .
process Of evolution. This, OF course,
points to the conclusion that they are
organized and have life history OF
their own; while recent pathological
research renders it highly probable
that they are bacterial. That the poi
son once formed can be reproduced
in the human body is, we think, un-
questionable. and also that 1t may be
conveyed to distant places in clothing,
etc, If its orqnnic nature be admitted,
It becomes less difficult to understand
the total disappearance OF certain
xymotic diseases, as some change In
environment, of which we may be total
" ignorant, might be sufficient to sup
press it.
OF the DISASTROUS effects upon the
moral and material condition of the peo-
pie Of England produced by the dcpop-
ulation caused by fourteen months OF
the black death, It Is dihlcult for as TO
form any conception. Oh. Creighton
shows that, though between this date
and 1895 there was no such extensive
epidemic, for more than three con-
| turtles bubo plague was never long ABB

CORRECTING CHILDREN.

Whether by Rod or by Suns1On II snOuAu %
Done Early and Carefully.
s.Spare the rod and spoil the child" is
one of the most venerable OF maxims,
and, if true, some one has great deal
to answer for, in the way OF spoiled
children. There has of late been
good deal Of discussion in the public
prints upon the subject OF Furnishing
children. To spank or not to spank, to
apply the switch or to use moral sua-
sion, to WELD the slipper or to dissolve
into tears and to plead with unruly of
spring, to hang them up until their
courage has died out, so to speak, and
has left them docile, or to shut them in
cellars, attics or dark closets-these
and scores of other methods have been
discussed until it would seem that the
entire subject must be worn thread
bare. And yet the infant disobeys,
is rebellious, FESTIVE, defiant, perhaps
violent, and something must be done.
As rule in these cases, the long-suffer-
ing parent endures and waits, hopes
the child will do better and postpones
punishment until. alarmed at some
new outbreak, patience gives way;
and whether it be switch, rattan,
single, slipper or busting cloth, 1t
matters little, the blows fall like rain
on the offender, and continue, as rule,
until the whipper stops from sheer ex-
haustion of body and spirit And be-
cause there is no improvement in the
child's conduct, it is taken for granted
that punishment is q failure.
| And so it is when administered
| in this fashion. A child should never
be corrected when the parent is an
| rrv. This is one of the funda-
| mental principles of good govern
ment. 1t is claimed by many disciplin-
| arians that child should never know
what q blow means. This is all very
well for some children, but there are
natures which can not be controlled In
this way. There il occasionally dis
position which nothing but force viii
subdue, and even then it must be &
forceful rs to awe and terrify the spirit
Of characterization into unquestionine
obedience. There il little use in par
leying with such natures. The strug
gle usually comes early, and must b
met without the least hesitation. Onc<
lrive way to the child's will, and 1t maj
rouse spirit Of resistance which lonf
months, perhaps years, Of subsequent
training will fail to conquer.
BY teaching child that its presen
'. and its future welfare depend on 1t
own actions you foster . true and no
BILE independence that Is sure to hav
| its own reward. Let the bonds OF n
straint at very easily; if the child neve
