Defends Bicycling.

"The real results of bicycling" says a
Bangor physician, sought to be held up
against certain alarming assertions of its
danger-especially with regard to ladies'
recently made by certain Italian doctor.

into questions of "costa inferior" or Zoos

over, it does not require physician to

health and looks which the exercise has
caused in so many girls who previously
stayed at home and either played the

indoor employment

Spraying.

The open season for spraying is close
at hand Whether we like it or other
wise it looks as though the fruit specialist
will have to make spraying part of his
regular work and the sooner he accepts
the situation and provides for carrying on
the work in systematic order and in accor
dance with required methods the more
certainly will he insure to himself reason
able mt asure OF success. The would be
grower must do better than raise fruit
only in occasional years and those seasons
of great bounty. He must also raise per.
feet fruit and well grown. To do this the
enemies, insect and tungous, must be
overcome. Spraying will do 1t when be-
gun early and diligently followed up
To get the start OF leaf rusts and what
is known as the black scab, all authorities
agree that the spraying must be begun be-
fore leaf buds open. 1t was suggested
that the State Pathological Society hold
field meeting for illustration of the
operation OF spraying and trial of different
apparatus now within reach for doing the
work. The suggestion is good one and
we believe the society cannot plan more

societies of the kind to do something be

much more information of how to do the
work and what appliances are needed and
which are best from an illustration of
actual work in the orc hard than from any
other available source. So let's have the
exhibition of spraying. and next autumn
supplement it with a field meeting to in
spect the results coming from it. Here is
a chance for the new officers of the society

Breeding for Eggs.

One of the best methods of increasing
the cap city of fowls for egg production is
TO set the eggs of those fowls VIII CHI are
themselves most prolific OF eggs. 1t is, OF
course, assumed that the hens are, mated
with full. bred cocks of the best egg pro-
ducing breeds There are even In full
bred fowls some individual peculiarites
which count for much. and one of these is
the propensity to give the largest part OF
bodily energy and feed to egg production.
The hens that are best for this purpose
are always lively, and have particularly
bright red combs When they stop laying
they are not mopish and do not fatten,
but continue lively and soon begin laying
again A flock of fowls bred from such
hers, and thus continued for three or four
generations, would produce breed whose
chief distinction would not be form or
color, but the ability to Irod ice the great
est number of eggs in a season. This we
believe is the way in which the best egg
producing breeds have been originated,
and it is certainly necessary to keep them
from degenerating in this respect.

Pruning Currant Bushes.

Most growers ofcurrants allow the bush
es to take their own way of growth. AS
the currant plant is always produced from
cuttings it is sure to send up number OF
shoots from each set, and these quickly
made a mass of shruboery that keeps the
inside OF the bush from receiving enough
sunlight to perfect the fruit. Besider,
where there is great mass of shrubbery
some of the leaves are likely pot to get
thoroughly busted with hellebore. and
thus allow the currant worm to perpetuate
itself Some for this reason advocate re-
ducing the bush to a single stem. This
makes it easy to control the currant worm
and the finest fruit is thus produced. But
just as good fruit, and greater in amount,
can be grown by leaving two or three
stems. Occasionally stem breaks down
by accident and if it is the only one there
is gap in the row. Even if all the single
stems remain their yield cannon be made
as great as it will be by leaving two, three,
or perhaps four to grow from one roofing

The horticultural department Of the

methods of Fastening the growth and
maturity of early potatoes 1t has
sprouted potatoes by placing whole
tubers in shallow boxes filled with sand,
setting them blossom end up and one
fourth exposed. The sand sprouted po-
tatoes were ready for use while other
whole tubers not sprouted before plant
ing and same cut seed. all planted at
the same date, were not yet large
enough for the table. AT the final dig
ging the sand sprouted potatoes showed
better tubers and 10 per cent larger
yield than the others. In a second ex-
pertinent sand sprouted potatoes took
the lead of some that were sprouted
without sand in open boxes, and the
latter were ahead of tubers taken from
the storage room and not exposed to
light till planted. Whole tubers sprout-
ed in rather moist sand and planted

This later exercise is particularly good for

The Secret of Malaria.

Prof Koch has found the study of Tex
as fever in cattle very useful in learning
the origin and nature of malaria. He says
that the animal parasite, the tick, often
transfers the disease from one herd to
another and spreads it through the herd.
Malaria resembles Texas fever in many
ways. and in its discrimination the COM
mon mosquito performs for man the same
unwelcome service of incubation which
the tick renders to cattle. Where there
are no mosquitoes there is no malaria.
Quinine taken al the proper stage arrests
the growth of malarial germs.
