Washington, Aug. 4.-Incited by recent
newspaper publications tending to throw
doubt upon the ownership Of the Klondiks
gold fields. some Of the high government
officials who would naturally be expected
20 deal with the question n It comes To-
a practical issue. have been quietly look
ing into the matter, with a view OF pre-
pairing themselves for any controversy
that may arise.
Their views are In substance that thers
can be no valid objection advanced to ths
title OF Great Britain to this territory. Al
careful examination of all the reliable
charts and maps has convinced the off,
cials that 10 far as the Klondike fields,
as defined by the latest reports, are con-
cernod there can be no question but that
they DE east Of the l4ist meridian. which
defines the boundary lines. and so are
within the British territory by about thir-
ty-1vo miles at least. As for the meridl-
an Itself. it IS said that It has been so
closely located by the surveys Of the Ca
madam and our own coast survey that

more than 700 feet In the claimed bound-
airy, which, OF course. would not substan-

Bronchitis Ia Shoats.

QUESTION have several shoats, in
good order, which seem to have some
trouble in their threats. They have
good appetites, but do not seem to di-
gest their food and they cough and
sneeze, particularly when eating What
must do for them?
ANSWER. Your shoats are suffering
with bronchitis, an irritation or infam-
nation of the air passages of the lungs.
This is caused by colds, just as in the
human being, and is not difficult to
cure if treated promptly. Give each
one teaspoonful of spirits of turpen-
tine in their food daily for three days
and rub their Threats with any irritat-
ing liniment If this does not effect a
cure. mix equal parts of salt, sulphur
and powder of juniper berries, and
place in trough or box where they can
have free access to it. At the same
time don't let them sleep in a dusty
bed State Agricultural Department..

Diseased Ounces.

QUESTION. Why is it that we so
rarely see a perfeca ounce these days?
/ remember thst i'll my youth this was
considered ons Of our most certain
fruits and the rows of ounce trees in
my mothers garden laden with the
heavy yellow fruit is stin pleasant
memory.
ANSWER. Ounces, like many other
of our fruit trees, have been sadly neg.
lected, and the insidieus advances of
diseases have been scarcely noticed, un-
til they have obtained such firm foot
hold as to be very difficult of eradica-
cation. There are four diseases to which
the ounce is liable: The Leaf Blight
and Fruit Spot, the Ounce Rust, the
Black Rot and the Twig Blight. The
first attacks the fruit as we'll as foliage,
and young ounce trees in the nursery
are peculiarly liable to it. The remedy
is spraying with Bordeaux mixture.
The rust attacks the fruit, and unless
the disease is checked. the young
ounces will be distorted and misshapen
long before they mature. The fungus
of this disease is communicated from
the cedar apples" and cedar balls"
so often seen OH cedar trees, and if these
trees grow near a ounce orchard they
should be destroyed. Spraying with
fungicides may also be used with ad.
vantage.

vented by clean culture than by fungi.

Soluble Phosphoric Aid.

QUEsTIoN.-In the analysis of fertil.
izers, phosphoric acid is spoken of as
soluble, reverted, and insoluble. Please
give me short explanation of these
terms
ANSWER. The soluble phosphoric
acid i'll fertilizer is that part that is
perfectly soluble in water and at once
ready for plant food. The reverted
phosphoric acid is that portion that
becomes soluble by the action of
water and the soil combined. and
it is therefore estimated as avail
able" to the growing crop. The
insoluble is so difficult of solution that
it is regarded as of no benefit to a quick
growing crop, and is therefore consid-
cred as having no value in a fertilizer.
In an analysis of fertilizer the "solu-
BILE" and the reverted are added to-
gether and called available phosphorio
acid" simply because the crops can
speedily appropriate them. State Agri-
