BORDEAUX MIXTURE. ,
and Apples 1t Has Proved
Quite Effective.

At Green's fruit farm we have found
by the present years experience that
pears are greatly benefited by spraying
with Bordeaux mixture. The spray
should be applied three times. The
first time at once after the trees have
blossomed and the next time few
weeks thereafter. The Seckel pear is
particularly inclined to be imperfect
unless sprayed, but where sprayed the
Seckel was smooth and beautiful. The
blemishes ON other varieties of pears
can be largely removed by spraying
and the quality of the fruit is greatly
Increased. In apple orchards buyers do
not care to go far to see orchards that
have not been sprayed, knowing that
the fruit of such orchards cannot be
first-class. One spraying is not enough
for apple orchards, since frequent
showers are liable to occur at the sea-
sor of the year when spraying is done,
which is at the close of blossoming. We
have also sprayed our peach trees with
partial success, but the spraying not
entirely preventing the peach leaf curl
There is no question whatever that the

Alsike clover is valuable forage
crop and can be grown in many places
where ordinary red clover will not
yield protitobly. 1t is perennial and
has no hairs on the stalk, SO it is not
dusty. It's bloom is sweet and makes
good honey. 1t will stand any amount
Of wet. Planted in wet swales and de-
pressions, it will make abundant
growth and reseed itself from year to
year, affording vast amount of ex-
cellent feed. II does not throw out
and freeze out, as do red and mammoth
clovers. Farmers would do well to try
patch OH any low-lying land on the
farm. 1t withstands cold well and has
made good growth in Alaska.-Jcurnal

FOOLISH ECONOMY.
Farmers Who Oppose the building
of Good Country Roads Make
a Great Mistake.

The increase in the valuation of the
land is the least reason why we should
improve the roads. Pleasure and home
comforts depend upon our facilities for
getting around. Churches and schools
depend on them. Show me district
where the roads are all unimproved,
and will show you district that is
lacking in moral standard, and children
are at disadvantage to obtain even a
common school education. Churches
must close their doors during the win
ter, and when summer comes, all have
lost interest in church-going.
Why try to increase the products of
the farm, and not increase our facilities
for delivering them to market? 1t
costs the farmer more to deliver his
products to the railroad than it costs
to ship it from there to the city. Who
would take the contract to haul 100
hogs four miles over bad mud road
after big rain, for what it costs to
ship them to the city? have seen, in
this county, four horses attached to a
wagon loaded with less than 1900
pounds, and then it was a sin to have
them out in such mud. Often we are
compelled to walk and take with us our
butter and eggs, while our horses are in
the barn needing exercise, all because
the road is too bad TO take them out.
1t does increase the price of land, as
land along good pike will bring $40
to SIS per acre more than land situated
q mile away from it, if there is no pros
pect of there ever being pike near it.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Long stable manure makes a good
mulch for the strawberry bed. but the
objection is that it contains too many
weed seeds.
1t is claimed that liberal dressing OF
salt under ounce trees as far out as
the roots extend will help to induce
bearing.
Moss-covered trees will be benefited by
a whitewashing of lime and wood ashes
in equal parts, wet up to proper con-
sistency with water.
The greatest enemy of house plants is
dust. Much Of this may be avoided by
covering before commencing to sweep,
Wash the leaves occasionally.
If proper work in pruning is done al
tie time of planting the tree and for
tie next four or five years little time OF
labor will be needed afterwards.
In raising trees or plants from cut
tings the important point is to have the
callus formed as soon as possible, Sc

coSghs Of an Engine.

The cough, or puff, of a railway en-
gine is due to the abrupt emission of
waste steam up the chimney. When
moving slowly the coughs can, of
course, be heard following each other
quite distinctly, but when speed is
put on the puffs come out one after
the other much more rapidly, and
when 1s coughs second are produced
they cannot be separately distin-
guished by the ear. A locomotive run
ming at the rate of nearly 70 miles an
hour gives out 20 puffs of steam every
second that is ten for each of its two
cylinders. Hf,

VIGOROUS ARGUMENT.
Able and Sensible Good Roads Mes
sage Recently Issued by the Cow
ernOr of Vermont.


The recent message of Gov. Smith, OF
Vermont, to the state legislature, dealt
largely with good roads. Their present
law, he asserted, is entirely wrong, as
over $4,000 are annually collected and
then distributed among the towns, to be
spent by 245 highway commissioners
in repairing the roads OF their respect
tive towns, while not cent of 1t goes
into permanent work or furnishes any
lasting benefit to the state. The money
is spread out so thin that it is practi-
cally thrown away.
The idea of the law was that the
smaller towns would receive from the
state, in the annual distribution, more
than they had paid as their share of the
tax, but the increase proves to be too
small to be of any material benefit. On
the contrary, the small towns would re-
ceive far greater advantages If the tax
were used toward building permanent
roads and they were connected by them
with the railways to which they are
obliged to carry their produce.
Statistics had been prepared by the
governor "to show the cost of trans
portation of the products of Vermont
from various towns which lie away
from the line of the railroads, to the
railroads, as compared with the cost of
transporting the same article from the
railroad to market. From these sta
tistics it appears that on butter, lum-
ber. granite, lime, brick, cement and
hay the rate is from $3.50 to $4 per ton
by team from the point of production
to the railroad, while the rate to haul
the same articles from the railroad
station to the point of consumption is
but from S3.40 down to $1.66 per ton
by team exceed 12 miles; in none of the
instances is the haul by railroad less
than 140 miles"
"The rates by railroad" said the gov
ernor, will never, in my judgement, be
higher, so that whatever can be saved
by improved roads out of the cost Of
teaming these products ought to gc
into the pocket of the producer of tn,
hay or the butter or the lumber or gran
ite or whatever is teamed. The stand
ard authorities give the saving in cos
of teaming over good roads as compared
to ordinary dirt roads to be from so t,
! rs per cent, so that there is from $1.2
to So for every ton of freight teamed
to go into the pocket of the produce
in Vermont, if only good roads are mad
where bad ones now exist"
| The governor, therefore, urges tha
the Massachusetts, highway law, modi
|, fed as required, be adopted in Vermont
, and that the tax of 5000, now annual
ly collected for road repairs, be turne
over to state highway commissioners
! who shall control its expenditure unde
! the provisions of the law.
II In respect to cost of hauling by tear
to the railroads, the figures given b
Gov. Smith show how heavily the faru
ers suffer from bad roads, not alone i
Vermont, but in nearly all states i
: which similar conditions obtain. Ne
Jersey, Massachusetts and New Yor
are working out remedy for thes
evils, and the other states cannot
better than act on Gov. Smiths sugge,
3 ton and follow their examples.-Goo

TRANsPLANTING TREES.
Description of Rack and Boat ES-
peciaIly Designed for This
OperatiOa.

1t is very often desirable to trans
plant trees which have already at
tanned considerable size, but it is
not safe to do this either in, the fall or
spring, for before the roots establish
themselves to the new conditions OF
things the tops become lifeless. AS
consequence very few large trees are
transplanted. If the tree could be re-
moved from one place to another with
out disturbing many Of its roots, by
pruning the tops, the operation would
be attended with less difficulty.
A very successful way is suggested
by the illustration portrayed herewith
This operation is performed in winter
while the ground is frozen. Consider

were so poor. To-day America is the

MAN1ToBA,s CAPACITY.

E, Britain All She Requires
rl from Abroad. 4.

Toronto, Nov. 1Oth.-The World COM
nents on the report of the United En-
pire trade league. on the capacity OF
Canada as a granary for Britain. The
report refers to Manitoba as follows:
Manitoba has an area of AZ millions
acres. Deducting ten million for lakes,
rivers, townsites, and waste land, 81
100000 acres are left for farm culti-
vation or homes for 10000 families on
800 acres each and as up to now there
are only 27O0O farmers there altogethr,
er, that leaves room in one province for
s9,O08 more wheat growers. Suppos-
ing, then, we got them thereiand each
one of them out of his 320 acres grows
on an average 100 acres at 20 bushels
to the acre, if you figure it up you will
find it is quite possible for Manitoba
alone to supply us with all the wheat
we etrequire from abroad. It is only a
question of money, and, comparatively
speaking, not money either. The cost
Of one frst-class battleship (about
ESQ, ,OOo) would put 5000 families on to
farms in the North West, allowing 15O
TO each to find them in implements,
seeds, horses, &c. Would keep them
until their first crop was harvested
Five thousand farmers, averaging 1OC
acres of wheat each at 20 bushels to the
acre, means an extra 100000 bushels
for if that scheme is not liked Britain
would put duty on foreign wheat.
In addition to the wheat lands Of
Manitoba there are the millions o.
acres in Assiniboia, Alberta and Sas

The amount of earth left will depend
upon the size of the trees. Thisis to
remain until the ball of earth is frozen

the apparatus is applied as suggested,
and the tree well protected after it
reaches its new home. The latter place
of reception is of course to be prepared
before the ground freezes, The tree is
launched in the same manner as it was
loaded. The size of the arms Of the
