United States Consul Kirk Of Copen-
hagen has forwarded to the state 6S-
partment the following Translation
from Dannebrog of a lecture delivered
by Mr.. Johannsen at the agricultural
high school recently on the results OBJ
tanned by the etherizing method of de-
veloping plants earlier than is their
nature, by exposing them to the infu-
ence Of ether fumes BY exposing
sleeping plants to the influence OF eth
er and chloroform the result is OBJ
tanned that each plant, after the treat
fiislt with ether, begins to shoot. They
have thus probably been awakened
from their previous condition of sleep
or inactivity. Lilacs grow splendidly
when placed in an air-tight compart-
ment and exposed forty-eight hours TO
the effect of 800 or 500 cubic centime-
tiers of ether, and then put in a hot
house. just before Christmas the
plants had developed splendidly. The
etherizing of the plants viii cost to
14s cents each. The main point Is TO
get the plants to shoot at any time
OAA ASLAAoSy even ia 0SRN~-~
and October. 1t can be said that some
progress has undoubtedly been made,
but no one can tell to what astonishing
results this discovery may lead. lu-
lips, lilacs, etc., can be developed much
earlier and have a pretty color and
great durability, as the ether frees the
plant OF decomposable matter. To
etherize the plants they are placed in
an air-tight receptacle and exposed
from twenty-four hours to ninety-six
hours Generally forty-eight hours,
to the influence of the ether. Cylindri-
cal glasses are used for small plants,
and for large plants an oil-painted box,
the interior Of which is lined with tin
foil, feet high and long, and 24s feet
broad. On tie lid a small hole is
made, which is closed with a cork,
and the ether is conducted through
this hole. AS ether is very inflam
mable, great care must be taken not
to bring candles or matches near it.
The ether is dissolved at from 10 de-
grees to 20 degrees. centigrade.

Whether there are not some hornes
that are actually insane is a subject
upon which opinions differ. On this
question an English writer says: 81
have little doubt but that in many
cases where the horse shows sudden,
unaccountable fits of i'll temper. vice
or other demonstrations of strange
conduct, that the cause is due to cere-
bral affection. Horses may become
temporarily insane from certain forms
of disease, such as, among others, the
development of a tumor on the brain
Fits of unaccountable vice may occa-
sionally be the result of organic
changes in the brain matter, as in
man, and not to normal mental DISPOSE
ton. l was recently told of a young
foal which sometimes was subject tc
demonstrations of strange conduct, ac-
companied at intervals by what ap-
peared fits or commissions. He was
found to be suffering from water or
the brain, otherwise hydrocephalus
He was operated upon surgically with
view to his relief, but even after he
was broken-in and became a made
horse" he never afterwards was trust
worthy either under the saddle or in
harness, consequently the owner part
ed with him. Singular to relate, both
his dam and grandam were queer cat
tie, and at various times were subject
to strange periodical alterations Of
conduct In the case of the foal men
toned, there can be little doubt that
he was the victim of hereditary brain
disease, productive of temporary in
sanity. Such cases, believe, are more
frequent than is generally supposed
Horses are not always responsible fol
their actions.

That it isn't safe to monkey with

barbed wire pasture fence. with sew
'ral division fences, all made Of ten Of
The best barbed wires. Still. the
wolves will sometimes get in by
scratching through under the lowest
wire, but we generally get the wolves
now, before they do much damage, by
setting steel traps at such holes on
both sides of the fence. We generally
fasten three steel traps together and do
not fasten the traps to anything. Ear

IN trap. If traps are fastened, the
Volt or wildcat is more likely to
break loose. In very cold weather they
are liable to bite their caught feet of

yelling in their freezing feet. If they
tan travel, however slow, with their
dragging traps, they are not likely
% try to break loose from the traps.
1t is beautiful sight to see bunch
of about 500 Angora goats coming
home about shutdown, with their long,
silky fieeces. have always sheared
twice each year-that is, in April and
in September. If these nice animals
are shorn only once in a year, they
will soon look ugly, because the long,
silky hair will become matted and
they will soon look as ugly as scab-
by sheep. In kidding time it is best
to keep those ewes that will soon
bring kids in a small pasture separated
from the flock. If the weather be cold
md wet, they should have a shelter,
Dry, cold weather does not hurt them.
In hot days the little kids need shade
from the hot sun. At first l tried to
make the kids follow their mothers
with the flock, but soon found that il
vas impossible to do that. The little
kids were soon all hidden in the high
grass and bushes. After that fol
lowed the advice of older goat men,
who left the kids in the pen until they
were six or eight weeks OLD. During
the past three years I kept kids in q
separate small pasture, where they
have plenty of shade, water, green
6hrubbery, weeds and young, tender
herbs Of various kinds, If allowed to
follow the flock too young they win
lie down and go to sleep and be lost.

Sprays and Spraying.

In spraying currants there is danger
of making an application within three
weeks of the time the fruit is used
for food. Currants should be sprayed
as soon as worms are seen with paris
green; if they reappear repeat the
spray, adding bordeaux for mildew. II
worms still trouble use pyrethrum or
hellebore. The third application to ap-
pies should be made week after the
blossoms have fallen of bordeaux and
paris green; repeat after ten to four
teen days and again in ten to fourteen
days use bordeaux or weak copper sui
phate. When cherries have set use
bordeaux and paris green; repeat in
ten to twelve days later, if signs of rot
appear. In ten to twelve days more
use copper sulphate solution weak and
repeat IL necessary. Cabbages may
need five sprays. When worms first
appear use paris green. If worms or
aphides are present repeat if the plants
are not heading using using emulsion
for aphis. If aphis persist, or If worms

plants are not heading. After heads
form, use saltpetre for worms, tsa-
spoonful to gallon of water, emulsion
Tor aphides. This may be repeated if
necessary. Tomatoes may be sprayed
three times as follows: When first
fruits have set use bordeaux. If dis
ease appears repeat or use weak copper
suiphate solution. If necessary spray
with weak copper sulphate solution.
Never spray with arsenites while trees
are in blossom, as the bees will be
poisoned; they are necessary to fertil-
.zc the flowers.
bordeaux Mixture is the standard
remedy for all fungous diseases. Use
four pounds copper sulphate and four
pounds of fresh lime to forty gallons
OF water. 1t is comparatively mex

they will only need to be mixed before
using. The copper sulphate will dis
solve readily if suspended in a barrel
OF water in coarse sack or basket.
BY thus dissolving twenty-four pounds
IN, say, thirty-six gallons of water, we
shall have enough for six barrels of
forty gallons each. The lime should
be slaked slowly, adding water only
as fast as it is taken up. Twenty-four
pounds is all that is needed for the
above amount of copper suIphate, but
II it will be required within a week or
two the entire barrel may be slaked at
once. 1t will not deteriorate if kept
covered with water The above form
aia is adapted for use with most crops
but it may be slightly modified. Thus
for the second spraying OF grapes the
amount of water should be reduced to
thirty gallons, and for most other crops
it may be increased to fifty gallons af-
ter the second application, especially
If they are made at frequent intervals.

Two Kinds of Horsemen.

All mankind may, with great clear
ness. be divided into two parts-those
who understand horses and those who
do not, says an exchange. There are
people who will drive or ride nag all
day-nay, who may own one and use
it for years-whose powers of observa-
ton are not sufficiently enlisted in the
details of the animal to distinguish It
from any strange horse in the next
stall unless there be some gross diff
ference in color. Such equestrians will
he content to see a fine horse, with
nerves. eyes, muscles and possibilities
for good or evil cashiered in favor of
the dead certainty of peripatetic
steam engine. The second, smaller,
and aside from horse dealers, more no
ble group of individuals cannot so
much as enter fortuitous close cab
without taking unconscious note of the
stockings the withers, the size and the
facial expression of the creature be-
tween the shafts. One whose sym
natbv stands this test has felt the thrill
Unmarried by the responsive spring of
glorious saddle horse, has enjoyed
mental conversations with the shape
w, all expressive ears of the sensitive
creature, has been fairly exalted by
mere proximity to the splendid spirit
of a hard driven thoroughbred and has
nufvered with the same heady drink
which brilliant frosty mornings have
brought to the smoking muzzles of his
dancing bays, with their flashing eyes
and strong, curved necks-but is it not
absurd to defend good horse from a
borseless carriage?
