TOPICS OF INTEREST RELATIVE

BLACK KNOT.

Look out for symptoms of black
knot on your plum and cherry trees,
and promptly cut off the diseased
branches before the spores ripen and
infect all the other trees. 1t has been
recommended to paint the limbs with
iodine, but we have not had an oppor-
tunity to try this, as we cut down two
years ago all the trees that we had that
were diseased, and have not seen any

PRoyERB1AL DAIRY PHILOSOPHY.

Milk adulteration may be brought
about in many indirect ways.
The dsiryman who keeps his milk
pure can be trusted as an honest man.
As hay is made while the sun shines,
30 is money increased to that dairyman
who managed 80 that his COWS yield
milk abundantly when dairy prices are
high.
Some people seem to forget that the
amount Of profit on pound Of butter
often depends as much on reducing the
cost of production as in obtaining an
enhanced price.
The dairyman who dumps o mass of
dscayed garbage before his COWS for
economy's sake, is injuring his GUS
toners more than if he diluted his
milk half with water.
His milk and butter bring just as
much in the market as if the food
that produced them was grown on
Western prairies, and the difference of
cost adds materially to his dairy
profits.
He commits an equally injurious act
against his fellow men when he leaves
the carcass of dead animal unburied
in the cow pasture. or daily milks
with manure-begrimed hands.
The milk manufacturer who has rich
butter-milk, and whey on which a
thick blanket of cream will arise, is q
costly individual to employ, even
when working for his board.
It always pays dairyman better to
stand by a manufacturer who is
doing honest work for him, than to
take up with new man who builds a
factory for the purpose of running
OUT the old proprietor.
The provident dairyman mentally
weighs the food requirements of his
herd of COWS for year in advance. In
most cases he can raise fodder and
grain more cheaply than he can buy
them, and he plants and sows accord
ingly.
The dairyman's responsibility for
the care of his COWS is not all gone
when he is able to turn them out to
grass in the early summer. The more
he feels his responsibility in this
direction, and acts upon it, the more
valuable will his dairy become to him.

THE DOG NUISANCE.
One of the Most Serious Drawbacks to
Suburban and Country Life.

Suburban and Country Life.
In most towns there are altogether
too many dogs Perhaps this would
not be so if they were ideal dogs; but
they are not. Indeed they generally
belong to the variety known as
NANCY curs,' in comparison with
which the ira ditional ''yaller dog is
a blue blooded aristocrat. They sub
serve no conceivable use. Their only
known function is to snarl and growl
at passers-by in the daytime and howl
at each other most of the night From
every point o. view they are unmiti
gated nuisances that ought to be sup
pressed by the strong arm of the law.
They constitute one of the most seri-
Gus drawbacks to suburban and coun-
try life. To many timid and nervous
people they make day a terror
and night hideous pandemonium
of unrest. If the dogs in question
were of any benefit to any one
these sufferers might be asked to
forego their Individual comfort, but
such is not the case. As a rule. we'll
trained thorou bred dogs annoy no
one. The culprits in question are mon
grels, whose owners are too obtuse to
see what nuislnces they are or too
indifferent to the rights OF their neigh
hors to care. The conscience of such
people cannot De reached except by a
stringent law. and the authorities of
the average town never think of eX-
acting such q law. or if they did would
not enforce it In many cases they
keep the most Objectionable dogs
themselves.
One of the Interesting phases of the
dog habit is the tendency of so many
people to keep logs in the inverse ratio
of their wealth. That Is to say, the
poorer they are, the more dogs they
keep. 1t was the RAMS Horn. we be-

THE AMERICAN INDIAN.
The Latest Theory Makes Them De.
seendants of the Chinese.

Man lived on this continent earlier
than or at least as early as lie lived on
the European continent. but it is not
believed that the Indians are de-
scended from such early people. The
latest theory seems to be that the So
called American Indians are descended
from Chinese. who in some way
reached the Western coast thousands
of years ago. The parallelisms be-
tween the customs of the Chinese and
the ancient Peruvians are often very
striking; the systems of government
of the two people Were similar; the
emperor and the inca both claimed de-
scent from heaven; both countries had
irrigating canals, and in both coun-
tries taxes were paid in kind and
stored in public warehouses; both
countries maintained public roads,
disposed of their dead with the same
ceremonies and built houses much in
the same style Humboldt found in

blances to the ancient calendar used
in Tartary, India and Thibet The
