A MAD STALLION
Peculiar Affiiction of Valuable Race
Horse

A report is current in England to the
effect that the promising young stall
lion Orme. by Ormonde, dam Angelica,
has become a hopeless savage. or, in
other words. has gone mad. says the
Spirit of the Times. One seldom hears
of a horse going mad, but such thing
is by no means unknown, for there is nc
reason why horses should not. like men,
be subject to brain disease. Those who
were the best acquainted with Orme
are the ones most surprised at the re
port. True. he had, like all high-cour-
aged horses, a temper of his own when
in training but in the stud he was re-
ported as heins kind and tractahle
The temper Of stations in nineteen cases
out of twenty is largely due to the treat
ment they receive from those who han
die them. Orme has always been han
died most carefully and received the best
care. hence his reported madness can
not be attributed 10 i'll treatment. A
statement was made by Hon. Cecil Par
ker that "Orme was not mad, remaining
quiet in his box, but shows violent tenn
per at any attempt to bride him." This
would lead one to conclude that Orme
is suffering from his teeth. 1t will be
remembered that at the time of the
horses supposed poisoning it was main
tanned by the veterinarian. Loeffier, and
others, that decayed tooth and not poi
son at all did the damage, and the same
trouble may have returned.

prices and is most sought after. Spray
ing should commence as soon as the
petals of the blossom fall to be followed
by a second application about two
weeks after the first. Growers must
watch matters closely, and if necessary
spray third time. three weeks after
the second application, but this may
not be required, depending largely up
on the season. Above all, do not forget
to spray with Paris green of the best
quality, using one pound to 200 gallons
of water, without any additions.
APPLE OR PEAR SCAB
Where the presence of apple or pear
scab is observed, the following fungicide
should be added to the Paris green:
Sulphate of copper. % pounds
Fresh lime...... ..........5V POUNDS
Dissolve the sulphate of copper in
twenty gallons of water; slack the lime
and add to the copper solution and strain
into the spray tank with the Paris green.
ARsENATE OF LEAD
Experiments with this new insecticide
were made last year with very satisfac-
tory results and the experiments of this
year will establish its merits fully. The
arsenate Of lead is prepared by dissolv-
ing eleven ounces of acetate of lead and
four ounces of arsenate of soda in 150
gallons of water. This is the strength
used in Massachusetts for the destruc-
ton of the gypsy moth caterpillars, and
milder solution may be equally efiica-
cious for the destruction of the larvae of
the Goblin moth.
Prof. Forbush says: This is arsenate
of lead. poison slower in its action than
the other. but which has three distinct
advantages. % 1t can be used at any
desired strength without serious injury
to the foliage. (2) 1t is visible wher-
ever used, as it forms a whitish coating
on the leaves. go 1t has adhesive quail
ties. given it probably by the acetate o.
lead.and therefore remains on the leaves
for a much longer period than Paris
green. When sufficient glucose was add
ed to a strong mixture OF arsenate OF
lead. it withstood rainstorms and re-
mained on the foliage during the entire
season"
The fact that the poison can be used
three or four times stronger or more,
than necessary without injuring the
foliage. is a strong point in its favor ana
the cost of the material is quite low.

In a paper read before the Arizona Ag-
ricultural association at its annual
meeting, C. T. Hirst of Glendale said:
"Alfalfa is the cheapest feed to raise
hogs on as principal diet. When they
have attained the desired size, say $50
rounds. then, instead of marketing
them directly from alfalfa, they should
be fed grain or sorghum for from six
TO ten weeks Sorghum and kaffir corn
ere both excellent feed for hogs, and
hcgs marketed directly off sorghum
which was fully ripe have proved very
satisfactory. 1t is not a good plan to
change feed too suddenly. If it is prac-
tlcable, let your hogs run on both alfalfa
and barley for the first month they are
fattening; then feed grain alone for a
month or more. In this way the gain
will be greater than on all dry feed"

two crops were cut at the proper time

a final look at the crop. he was astounded
to find only barren field. Somebody had
stolen the three-acre crop bodily, and to
use Kroenert's expression, There wasn't
enough left to fill three pipes" Every
hill had been cut down and every leaf
of the tobacco had been carried away
with not the slightest indication of where
it had gone.-Pacific Rural Press.

DEAF MUTE's LONG JOURNEY
Travelling From New York to Los An
geles Without Money

The attention of the Denver Times
has been called to the misfortunes OF
Miss Helena Fink. deaf and dumb
young woman, 20 years of age. who is
trying to reach this city, having Travelled
from New York city. At Denver she
applied to Chief of Police Russell for as
sistance. Miss Fink stated that she had
left her cousins home in New York city
a week before on her way to Los Ange-
les, where her mother was lying danger
ously i'll.
Before leaving New York she had suf-
ficient money to pay her expenses and
railroad ticket. While waiting for her
train in the station at Columbus. O., she
fell asleep, and on awakening discovered
that she had been robbed of her purse,
railroad ticket and valise. She reported
her loss to the station agent, but moth
ing could be found of the stolen articles,
and Miss Fink found herself penniless
in a strange city. Shortly after this she
received a telegram announcing the
death of her mother.
In this plight the unfortunate young
woman appealed to the railroad author
tiles who generously arranged for her
transportation westward. In this man
ner she continued her journey from di-
vision to division, some times fed by
sympathetic strangers. but oftener 60
ing hungry. On April % she arrived at
Denver, tired out by her long and diffi-
cult journey, but still hopeful of being
able to continue it. The loss of her va
lise at Columbus had deprived her OF the
comforts of her wardrobe and she hao
not eaten for twenty-four hours. Chief
of Police Russell did everything possible
for the travellers comfort Later In the
day she was taken to the Union depot
and once more started on her journey to
Los Angeles.

Another Bicycle Collision

About o'clock Wednesday afternoon
John Leach a colored man, was riding
a bicycle up Main street, following a
street car and a single rig. When near
the postoffice another bieycler came up
and in some manner ran into Leach
throwing him and his bike under the
horses feet. The woman driving the
horse pulled one rein to the right and the
animal ran upon the sidewalk, throwing
a man out of the wagon onto the pave
ment. Meantime the colored gentleman
and his bicycle, after being run over by
the horse and wagon came up without
injury. The man thrown from the wagon
also escaped without damage, while the
bicycler who caused the accident had
speeded far up the street out of sight.

No Native Pests

A correspondent at Orange writes: A
number of copies of the "Recommen-
dations as to state and national legis-
lation relative to insect and plant dis
eases. adopted by the national conven-
ton held al Washington, d. c., March
: and g. 1897" having been received at
Orange, Mr.. Hiram Hamilton was called
upon to see what his opinion was in re-
gard TO the proposed enactment. Mr..
Hamilton is president of the Associa-
ton of Southern California County Hor-
ticultural Commissioners, and is also
the local horticultural commissioner.
He has taken an interest in everything
pertaining to California horticulture
during the past forty-seven years, and is
practically father of the law under
which the commissioners now act.
Mr. Hamilton said in part: "Consid-
ering the number of men of eminent
ability who formed that convention, it
is little surprising that they should
have framed an act which to us of Cal
ifornia would simply legalize the intro
duction of more fruit pests and diseases.
When came to California, about forty
seven years ago, I carefully examined
the Mission orchards about San Francis
co bay. Among other things they con-
tanned pears, apples, olives, figs and
grapes. l could find no diseases or pest
Of any kind The trees We're. so far as
saw. perfectly healthy. Why was it?
Simply because California has no ma
tive pests. The Mission fathers did not
bring trees or cuttings from the old
country; they brought the seed. planted
it and abided their time. Thus it was
that no disease had been introduced, or,
| If it had. was not apparent in the or
chards which l visited. OF all the pests
and diseases. you cannot point to a sin
gle one which is of California origin.
They have all been imported.
Diseases of trees are incurable Take
for instance. the mysterious vine dis
case. Prof Pierce has studied, both in
| this country and Europe, for the past
eight years and yet has not been able
| to find out what the disease is. let alone
a cure for it, The same is true of peach
yellows. except that they have found
that 1t is hereditary and can be trans
mitted by the pit
The passage of this act would put a
stop to quarantining the nursery stock
from any infected district if the
stock appears to be clean. Sec
ton says that nursery stock
found to be apparently free from
dangerously injurious insects or dis
ease shall be marked and
when 90 stamped or labeled they shall
not be subject to further quarantine OF
restriction in interstate commerce.
Thus it will be seen that a tree or vine
taken from an infected district can be
Ishipped anywhere without fear of quar-
antine, provided it is apparently clean
The principal cause for dread at the
present time is the introduction of tht
Mexican orange worm. This can and
doubtless Will, unless vigorous measures
are taken 10 prevent it, be brought il
by the use Of the same cars used for tht
transportation of the Mexican and ther
the California oranges. This bill makes
absolutely no provision to prevent this
In fact, | think the proposed measure
should be entitled AN act TO facilitate

The fruit growers of every district in
California should be represented at the
Pure Food Congress. The wholesale
grocers and big dealers are apt to at
tempt a nullification of the law, and if
such efforts are made they should be
thwarted. Not can of California fruit
should be put up that is not absolutely
pure, and the grower is interested in hav-
ing it that way. When cans marked

The Goblin Moth

3. NJ. Lelong, secretary of the state
board of horticulture, has provided The
Herald the following bulletin:
At the State Fruit Growers conven-
ton, in November, 1895, many complain
ed of being no longer successful in using
Paris green for the destruction of the
Goblin moth larva. Many reported SER
ious loss, others the loss of their entire
apple and pear crops, although they had
sprayed with what they supposed was
Parls green. Most of them had secured
excellent results heretofore and were at
a loss TO understand the reason Of the
failure, and had thus become prejudiced
against its use. We al once instituted
an investigation of the various sub
stances sold IS Paris green. OF nineteen
samples examined none contained above
Is per cent Of arsenious acid. Several
samples, although of nearly the same
shade of color as the pure Paris green,
contained no arsenious acid. The re-
suits of this investigation were publish
ed February 20, 1896, and the growers
were requested to demand from the deal
ers written guarantee that the articles
contained at least 80 per cent arsenious
acid. Evidently the dealers became
alarmed at the great fraud they had per
petrated upon the growers, for most all
the cheap etuffs We're withdrawn from
sale and soon after they advertised Paris
green of from 90 10 IS per cent alsenious
acid, and a guarantee to this effect ac-
companied each order. The CONSEQUENCE
was that last year there was better and
less wormy fruit than for years past and
in many instances where large ship
ments Of apples were made from or
chards that were formerly badly infect
ed not single larVa was found.
Now that the season for spraying is
at hand, the growers are again warned
against purchasing aduterated Paris
green, OF cheap stuffs sold as such. 70,
the fraud evidently is again being per-
pearated. During the past week sew
eral samples Were received for exam
ination which were found to be grossly
adulterated.

4 New Cnmn Ground.

The State military board is again con
siiering the ACCESSIBILITY of moving the
annual camping ground of the State mil
itia from Island Lake to new site
near MouRt Clemens.
The grounds offered are known as the
Butler farm, and are located on the Gin
ton river. beginning at the Gratiot road
aud running three-quarters of mile
north, along the river. The site consists
OF $50 acres, and has the Rapid Railway
on the south and the Grand Trunk on
the north, and the outlying camp will be
located on the bank OF Lake st. Clair,
three miles distant, making 1t very de-
sirable place.
Recently the board decided not to move
from Island Lake, but the militia are
rather tired OF the old site and many con-
slider a change advisable, as the grounds
offered have many advantages over
Island Lake.
