EDITOR COURIER:
l see by your last issue that / am
mentioned rs complaining witness in
case OF N. Oak. against Knapps.
just how you could make such mis-
take you can best explain. While I,
In common with nearly every man III
the neighborhood. nave had my diff
ferences with Thos. Knapp. yet they
have been in private, n 1t public end
so tar have not seen lit to call ont
tax payers to foot the expense OF nd
,jnsting differences between us.
l do not think I am given to qusl,,-
;reling either in public or private. 10
be sure. when things are done unlaw-
fully, / am in the habit of speaking
straight out in meeting. do not at
tempt to wear double face or try to
straddle the fence.
Ischiect to ladies being obliged, in
q public place, to listen to q man US
ing ~ language that q loafer would
blush to use in the presence of . lady.
I object 70 anyone, big or little, at
tempting to distigutp my countenauc.
when acting the part of peace maker.
but I should have taken no action in
this matter, and that, have taken the
interest haye in this case is due prin-
cipally to the fact that every man aud
woman in the neighboa'hood urged that
some action, be taken. I can add that
the committee. of public safety have
been assured OF ample funds to carry
on this, or any suits that it may seem
best to bring.

plant diseases are as carefully fnyesd-
gated and definitely classified as animal
ailments, to which indeed they bear
striking resemblance.
The first step N the process is to study
the vital activity of plants under vary
ing con ditiens for 1T is necessary to learn
their way of living in order to properly
understand each one Of their Vital func-
tions. separateroomistheref equipped
for the artificial manufacture Of all kinds
of climate and The study of environmental
forces u1,on sickly as well as healthy plants.
Here in g. large glass case any kind of
weather may be artificiaIly manufactured
merely by the turning Of levers or opening
OF ss3iggots Thus plants may be grown
under the same conditions as at the north
pole or the equator, upon high mountain
or in a deep valley, in sunshine or rain, In
badly ventilated rooms OF the purest air.
Here, too. they have all sorts of para
phernaia for inoculating plants with dis
ease germs andfeeding them improper food.
The doctor is constantly subJecting crea-
lures from the vegetable Kingdom to the
thousand and one diseases that every year
destroy farmers crops and florists gar
dens. When, by repeated experiments, the
nature of disease is understood and the
means of resisting 1t discovered, the infor-
mutton is committed TO bulletins and placed
within easy reach OF every grower in the
country: Cor the great aim OF the work
is to learn to SO regulate conditions OF en-
vironment as to make The plant less sus-
ceptible to disease, and thus more valuable
from the commercial standpoint. For
example, when rust, the most destructive
OF wheat diseases, was recently devas-
tatfng American cappH, the Department rf
Agriculture sent 20 all parts of the world
where wheat Is grown ana collected / 200
samples OF different species. These were

An Interesting experintnft -sflat was go
sing ON during the writer's visit was for
the purpose of discovering the cause OF a
.tiisease that has this season appeared for
the first time on the foliage of maple trees
liz Brooklyn. There was theory to che
effect that it might he caused by beetles

The magnificent results OF the work,
howeyer, do not end with the vegetable
kingiiam. A close study OF cells has re-
yealed TO scientists the slight difference
between the highest plant and lowest
animal life, and any law that may be
discovered governing the disease OF

upon those of individuals.
1t is well recognized fact that there
is nething III a plant that corresponds to

ance of certain diseases in individuals VII
also he settled. The most important truth
yet reached is that IL any or all these plants
are grown under good conditions, given
plenty OF food in the soil and a sufficient
amount OF water, they will usually be able
to resist the attacks of their so-called
hereditary enemies Take the rose, for
example II it is kept iii rich soil, abund-
antly watered and carefully pruned back

way against it,
hinseets do appear, q quantity OF ground
tobacco stems thrown over the bush and
left for two or three days is sufficient to
Kill them. Another very good method is
to throw big piece OF cloth over the bush
and burn underneath it d few handflls of
tobacco leaves.
Plants are extremely susceptible to bad
ventilation, as an interesting experiment
showed. A violet plant was allowed to
remain for a time under q bell-glass jar,
from which fresh air was excluded. and
then sprinkled with germs known to he
injurious TO Tiolets. The poor little vic
TIM to science soon broke out in yellow
spots, while the same germs spra yed upon a
vigorous plant, whose system had not been
pulled down by bad ventilation, produced
almost no effect.
Among the numerous patients in the
hospitals, none claimed more tender care
frolr the doctor than the lilies, of whose
Diseases he was making q special study.
With tie trained eye and hand OF an ex-
pert, he succeeded in removing with the
point of his knife the tiniest speck of

THE department sis now giving speoefi
