State Board Of Horticulture.

The State Board OF Horticulture met
Yesterday morning aud remained in ses.
don all day. The work that was accom-
pdished at yesterdays meeting was usual
y transacted at a meeting held several
Oonths after the regular annual state
Horticultural convention. This was done
0at some Of the ideas advanced during
TIE general discussions of the conven-
ticn might be put to actual test to de-
termine their worthiness.
The principle business transacted at
yesterday's meeting OF the board was to
compile the regulations. to issue the for
oulas and remedies for fruit pests in
dcordance with the law. The manu-
Ge5ipt will be placed in the printers s

rublished copies Of the pamphlet will be

his pamphlet will contain formulas for
puids to be used in spraying the fruit

lDked to use the sprays this winter, that
y results may be discussed at the next
|Anual session OF the society.
IDENTIFYING FRUIT.
i Another matter which occupied the at
1Gntion Of the board was the naming Of
- fruits sent up during the convention
- iiapaay purposes. When the fruit
gruwers purchased the trees when they
were yonrg from the nurseries they were
not given tue proper names. and now they
want to know the real name Of the fruit
they are raising. As an example. one
man sent up a number OF apples grown
on . tree sold to him under the name of
Mann. The board decided the apples
we're the Golden Pippin. Another man
was raising Snow apples. supposing they
were Of the Wolf River variety.
Charles E. Garfield OF Michigan, who
was one OF the horticultural judges at
the Worlds Fair, was asked to properly
name some OF the fruit sent up for iden-
titication, but he could not do il in some
instances. He said it was practically i'm
possible for an outsider to do it. as the
Colorado apple grows to almost twice the
size that the eastern fruit does, and ad.

exceptionally smooth and firm surfaces

An interesting and unsuual specta-.
Gle was presented few days ago to a,
number Of persons passing along
Haines street, Germantown. They saw
blind colored man who was cutting
grass on lawn and singing southern
melody in the most contented manner,
imaginable. Blind men, as everybody
knows, can make brooms, weave car
pet and engage in many other lines of,
industry OF that nature, but the cut
ting of grass with lawn mower by a
sightless man is an occurrence not fire.
quently witnessed. In this instance.
the grnss was cut very satisfactorily
The colored man would cut patch
about ten feet square, and then start
another square. Every row and then
he would use a thin stick to feel along
the top Of the grass to ascertain
whether or not it had been properly
trimmed, of if there were any spots that
needed another going over. It was
learned from the neighbors that this
blind and happy-hearted colored man
weeds the garden, oils the moving ma
chine, puts the tools away in their prop
err places and goes about the grounds
with more energy and confidence than
many other gardeners in the full pos
session OF their sight-Philadelp

SOME MEXICAN WAYS.
They Would Seem Hardly the Prop
er Thing to a Yankees Housewife.

An American woman would grow
gray-headedina month if she attempted
to keep house in Mexico on the same
plan pursued by the native housewives.
There are no water mains in the aver
age town, and water for domestic pur-
poses is drawn from the public foun-
tains and sold from door to door by
leather-aproned vendors, who carry it
in picturesque vessels of hide or pot
terry. Pulque and milk are brought to
market in skins of sheep, pigs, and
goats, which are stripped off the carcass
by cutting only the neck and legs and
turning inside out, all the openings but
one being tied up securely. The natives
do not object to the flavor of goat hide
and swine skin in the milk, but visitors
do.
The washerwomen have no faith in
modern methods. They get 25 cents a
day and are satisfied. This sounds i'm
probable to the Chicagoan who is being
done up by his launhress and has to
endure it. The washerwomen all do
their work beside an open stream of
water in a trough of stone OF wood, a
piece of homemade soap and their
strong hands. No hot water is used.
The scene at the public washhouses is
an interesting one. The method breaks
buttons. bends buckles and tears goods
with the same ease as does the steam
laundry in the states.
The average Mexican cook is as prim-
tive as the washerwoman. No matter
how many times the use of a modern
cook stove we're explained to her, it is
probable that she would build the fire
in the oven and put the bread 10 bake
in the frebox. What she would use is
called the bTasero. Among the poor
