H. H. JOHNSTON. tives is steadily
going on, and an end has been put to the
atrocities of those human vultures of At
rica-the Arab slave traders and the ma
tive chiefs who are their plant tools.
Commissioner Johnston was born in
London 36 years ago, received collegiate
education, studied painting at the Royal
academy and exhibited a few pictures. He
was far from well, however, and in 1880
betook himself to Africa in search of
health and adventure. Since then he has
followed in the footsteps of Explorers
Stanley and Thompson and has enriched
the worlds knowledge of Africa S anthro-
pology, zoology, botany and entomology,
besides giving to the press three interest
ing and instructing books-"The River
Congo" "The Kilima-N Marc Expedition"
and THE History of a Slave"
This last named work is a romance ex-
posing the cruelties inflicted by the inhu-
man Moorish slave traders In July,
1891, Mr.. Johnston established his admin
istration in Nyassaland and at once dem
onstrated that he could fight as well as he
could write against the slave traffic With
a small force of Sikhs and Zanzibaris and
two gunboats he gave the hostile slave
trading chiefs such a severe chastising
that the name slave" is only memory
in Nyassaland at the present time There
are eight missionary societies in the coun-
try, and Mr.. Johnston is loud in their
praise.
"There is no better colonizing inhu-
ence " he says. THE missionaries teach
the natives many useful trades and make
them bootmakers, carpenters and printers.
Even if it were only for the colonizing and
civilizing influence they exert, every pen
ny subscribed to African missionary soci-
cites would be well expended"
Several newspapers are printed, and the
type is set by the natives. Mr.. Johnston
says that not long ago notice in German
was handed to the Yao head printer, and it
was set up with hardly mistake, although
the native compositors had never seen
German before. One popularity of the
climate is that it remains SO temperate
that roses bloom the whole year round.

Corn Fodder and Silage.
hive.

There appears to be disposition to
plant corn for fodder much thicker than
was the rule no more than three or even
two years ago. Now we find men in
favor of planting corn for the silo and
Manager feeding with rows only three
feet apart, and with kernal each inch
i'll the drills. 1t is claimed, with much
show of reason. that the corn, even if
thick in the drills, is yet so thin in the
row that there is a perfect presentation
of the foliage to the sun, and therefore
full development of the starch and sugar
qualities. And while there may be a
dwarfage of the caring there will be no
less dry matter or feeding units.
1t is not proved, we believe, that food
solids of the cornstock are less digesti-
bic than that Of the grain, while it has
been shown conclusively by Professor
Jordon that the fodder of an average
acre of field corn has over 300 more unit
Of food value than the grain husked
from it, and the results of many
feeding trials point to the fact that the
corn crop husked and the cornmeal and
fodder fed as judiciously as possible
never equal that of a like amount put
into the silo or cured i'll nice shocks,
then run, ears and all, through a cutter
and fed, as i'll the case Of silage, with
out separation. John Gould, one of
Ohio's progressive farmers, writing in
the New York Tribune, tells that farm
ers in his locality are this season seeding
their silage fields more heavily than
ever before

pearance of the disease in some cases
that fields which one day look green and
healthy may within the next day or two
become blackened as though swept by
fire. The rapid spread of the disease is
dependent upon certain condition of
moisture and heat A daily mean or
normal temperature of from ~ degrees
to "A degrees F. for any considerable
time, accompanied by moist weather,
furnishes the best conditions for the
spread of the disease. On the other
hand, if the daily mean or normal tenn
perature exceeds ~ degrees for few
days the development of the disease is
checked This fact explains why the
potato blight fungus seldom occurs to
any serious extent in section where the
mean or normal daily temperature eX-
ceeds for any length of time ~ degrees
The macrosporium disease attacks the
leaves and sometimes the stems, but
never the tubers. The disease may APP
pear at any time after the plants are from
four to six inches high. 1t progresses
slowly, three weeks or more passing be-
fore all the leaves succumb. The tubers
stop growing as soon as the leaves are
attacked.
The effects of potato scab on the
tubers are too well known to require de-
scription The first two diseases are Of
ten COMPOUNDED. Fortunately the Dor
deauX mixture is the most effective
remedy for both blight and mascrospo-
rum. For the treatment of scab a solu-
ton of corrosive sublimate has given
best results. This may be prepared by
dissolving ~ ounces Of corrosive sub
Innate III about gallons Of hot water
and after an interval of - hours dilut-
ing with 13 gallons of water
For blight and the macrosporium dis
ease apply the bordeaux mixture when
the plants are six inches high, and con-
tinuing at intervals Of - or II days UNI
til five on six applications have been
made. If the season is rainy it is best
to make the treatments every 10 days,
the object being to keep the plants at
all times covered with the fungicide.
BY adding four ounces of paris green to
each barrel Of the bordeaux mixture the
treatments will not only prevent the
disease under consideration, but keep III

Mrs. Henry Ward Ececher's Engagement
Lasted Seven Years,


In discussing the subject of school life
and graduation exercises with New York
reporter the other day Mrs. Henry Ward
Beecher said: 1t is 65 years since left
school. l never was graduated except from
sickbed, for | was taken i'll while at
school and did not return to finish the
course / commenced teaching. Then
became engaged My engagement lasted
seven years, and during that time taught
more or less. Times have changed since
then, she continued refcctively. 1t was
customary in my day for girls to become
engaged at once after leaving school. 1t
was considered the fitting climax to a
school career, and women never dreamed
of profession and independence as they
do now
mo, l do not recall that l had any spe-
cially favoritc study and l never learned
music, nor could l sing" she continued,

Tie first thpng to remember about
scarlet clover is that it is an annual

there is an end Of that plant. 1t is like
corn or whelt i'll this respect-not like
timothy, which will yield crop after
crop of seed and still grow. Scarlet
clover may, however says Rural New
Yorker, be sowed i'll the spring and clip
ped or pastured in the fall before the
heads form. Ii then kept through the
winter, it will yield a crop of seed the
next year. That really means two crops

About Cutworms.

Professor Mccarthy recommends for
destroying the worms the best method
is to prepare loosely tied balls of fresh
clover or cabbage leaves moistened with
a paste of paris green or white arsenic
and flour. Place these balls about 20 feet
apart throughout the field" before set
ting out your plants The worms will
come to them and eat and die.

AFFECTED WITH MACROsPORIUM DISEASE.
Potato scab has been very successfully
prevented by the use of the corrosive
sublimate solution. The potatoes to be
planted are simply immersed i'll the
solution for l = hours, then spread ont
to dry, cut and planted i'll the usual
manner A large barrel offers a con-
venient receptacle for the solution. The
potatoes may be placed in coarse sack
and suspended in the liquid. The cor
rosive sublimate isvery poisonous; there
