FRANCE, GERMANY, ENGLAND.
The Possible Alliance in the Next Great
War.
(Fiom the New York Sun. J


In a war between France and England,
the German empire could not help the
former country If ii would, aud there are
many cogent reasons why it should not II
it could. Germany is an expanding,
France is decadent, power. The exports
of France are continually dwindling;
those of Germany are steadily increasing.
1t is of the utmost economical moment
to Germany that her foreign commerce,
| which affords an outlet and a stimulus
to her manufactures. should not be
crushed by collision with England's over
whelming force upon the ocean. There is
absolutely nothing that France could offer
in return for such a sacrifice, except a
promise not to seek the recovery Of Alsace
Lorraine. In the eyes of intelligent
Germans such promise would be of little
value. first, because Frenchmen would
keep it no longer than they saw tit, and
secondly, because the secret feeling OF
Germans is that the sooner Frenchmen
try to regain Alsace-L Lorraine the better.
There are few military experts ON the
continent who do not believe that the
next war between Germany and France
will involve the further ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of the latter country, If not second total
conquest OF. Gaul by the Franks. Indeed,
there are many clear headed Germans who
believe that the overturning Of nll the

Medicines for Pear Blight.

''The idea of introducing medicines
of some sort into the sap ofsthe tree to
kill the germ of pear blight is not new"
says e. G. Powell in National Stock
man.
Every once in while 1t springs up
somewhere through an advocate who
thinks he has discovered it. Just now
it is having it's innings in the Rural
New Yorker through the original inves-
legations of an Illinois fruit grower.
He had some pear trees which were
blighted badly, and undertook to cure
them by introducing medicines through
the roots. A hole was dug near the
tree and root secured as large as
ones finger. This was cut off and in
troduced into large bottle containing
the desired remedy, the neck of the
bottle stuffed with putty, and the whole
thing put under ground again. One
tree was killed by using too strong a
substance, and another was supposed
to be helped by using weak solution
of corrosive sublimate. But this tree
which blighted badly last year was
saved by the vigorous use of the saw
and knife. Undoubtedly all the blight
was cut out, and the use of the corrosive
Dublimate proves nothing. 1t is not
along this. line that any remedy may
be hoped for. The use of a strong
spray Of Bordeaux mixture in early
spring to kill the blight germs will
prove of much more help. A careful
and thorough pruning out of all affect
ed parts and burning the same at once
is the only way to prevent the spread
of the blight. Feeding the tree with an
abundance of potash and phosphorio
acid and not too great an amount of nj
trogen, to develop hard, grained
wood growth, where the cells are strong
and hardy, will also be of advantage"

state. The wooden pail can be washed
and scalded, but the wood pores retain
that which will not be loosened by or
binary hot water. But in many cases
even no extraordinary attempts are
made for their cleansing. With the
paper pail it is even worse. Those
pals are stiffened by rosin and If they
be subject to very hot water they will
become soft and easily fall to pieces.
We have seen more than one Of these
pals ruined by carrying boiling water
in them. So when they are used on
the farm and in the milking stable they
are only treated with tepid water. THIS
cannot cleanse them properly. In a
short time, also, If they are washed
much the paint comes from the inside
and the bare rosin walls are laid bare,
which tend to impart to the milk very
disagreeable flavor That they should
be abandoned there is no question. Tin
pals, if properly kept, are alone suit

Is preferable, as such pals can be got
that have no creases in the bottoms,
the whole pail being run in a single
mould. There are also no creases in
the sides. The only crease is at the
top where the pail is rolled around the

easily. If it costs more than the others,
the cost is soon Offset by saving in
work OF cleansing, to say nothing about

is kept. A proper attention to the milk
