BITS FROM PARIS.

In Paris one person in 1s lives ON
charity.
In Paris there is wine-shop for every
three houses.
Paris consumes 100000 pounds of
tame rabbits annually.
OF the inhabitants of Paris 1,475,000
live by the labor of their hands.
Paris has nearly 100 more periodicals
than it had year ago.
Students of architecture may have
often wondered how the two towers of
Notre Dame at Paris were not of the
same size. 1t appears that when the
cathedral was built it was the cathedral
of n suffragan bishop, who was not en-
titled to two towers of equal height,
and for centuries the bishop of Paris
was suffragan to the bishop of Sens.
Paris is said to be the cleanest city
in the world. Every morning 1000
male and 600 female scassngers, divided
into 149 brigades, turn out to perform
the toilet of the capital. The men work
from four in the morning till four in
the afternoon, less two hours off for
meals, or ten hours day. The women
are engaged in the morning only.

GROWING CRANBERRIES.
No other Crop Brings quite as Profit
able Results with an Equal
Amount of Labor.

At recent meeting of Canadian fruit
growers the question of growing cram
berries was discussed anu one of
the leading growers offered some testi-
mony from which the following is di-
gested. The land for planting cram
berries should be worked up and sand
ed, the sand to be from three to six
inches deep. The irrigation Is i'm
portant-in fact, is essential to cram
berry growing. The land should al
ways be kept damp. Before the frost
comes the patch should be flooded an6
kept so until the first of May. The Der.
ries do not thrive well when exposed
to the winters frost. If a long spell
of dry weather takes place in summer
irrigation should be repeated. One
speaker said:
II grow the Cherry Bell variety and
1 realized $500 net for what l grew on
one acre last year. l would like to
know if there is anything else one
would put an acre to that would bring
the same returns. Sand will correct

ADVICE FROM CANADA.
OntariO's Instructor in Road-Makine
Tells How to Get BETTER Roads
mt Small Expense.

A thorough believer in good roads
is y. W. Campbell, provincial instructor
in road making for Ontario. On ac-
count of the thinly settled condition
If most parts of the country he finds
the roads in rather bad condition and
the system of caring for them in some
instances rather primitive. He advises
to DO away with the payment of taxes
by labor on the roads. This same
method of payment in labor has been
found unsatisfactory in many parts of
the United States. He would levy rate
of assessment on the township.
For road purposes the township needs
to be divided into four or five divt-
sions and the money apportioned equal
ly among them. \ road commissioner
will be appointed who should advise
and consult with the town council. The
council would lay down the general
plan, including the width and depth
of the roads. character of drainage.
etc. No road should be narrower than
is feet. Important roads should be
at least 24 feet wide. All the direct
work of construction, which is hauling
gravel, ditching, bridge building and
drainage. will be done by contract su-
pervised by the commissioner. Repair
ing will be done by the day under the
direction of the commission, who would
also have the care Of road making ma
chimes and full power to employ OF
discharge men without interference by
the council. Finally Mr.. Campbell ad
vises work should be commenced with
a definite end in view and continued
from year to year if necessary until
the entire road system is brought tc
proper standard. Orange Judd

VALUABLE FORMULAS.
HOw to Prepare Insecticides and
Fungicides for the Destruction
of Insects and Scabs.

The following formulas for prepar-
ing insecticides and fungicides for the
destruction of insects, scab, etc, have
been found very satisfactory and are
highly recommended by those who have
given them trial:
For destroying the codling moth,
canker worm, curculio and leaf insects
of various kinds that infest apple,
peach, plum, etc, mix pound of lon
don purple or paris green in half
pail of water, stirring until every lump
and particle of dry material is thor
oughly incorporated; then dilute with
200 gallons of water for the first spray
ing. For the second spraying increase
the amount of water by the addition of
40 gallons. If a third spraying is re-
quired add still another 40 gallons Of
water. The foliage is more easily in
jured as the season progresses, there
fore the necessity of diluting the ma
terial used at each subsequent applica-
ton. Apply after the bloom falls and
at intervals of ten days thereafter.
For leaf scab, with which orchard
lists have had so much trouble and
have so faithfully labored to destroy.
and mildew on grapevines, grape rot
and other fungus diseases, the follow
ing has proved efficient: Dissolve six
pounds of sulphate of copper in hot
water in a wooden vessel. Slack four
pounds of fresh lime in another YES
sci and strain out all the coarser ma
terial. Dilute the lime with so to rs
gallons of water and then add the sui
phate of copper. This is for use on
plants in leaf. Copper sulphate solu-
ton, which should be used only on
plants in early spring before leaves
appear, is made by dissolving one
pound of sulphate of copper in 25 gal
Ions of water to be used in this form.
\ combination mixture for both in
sects and fungi is made by putting
london purple or paris green in bar
rel with Bordeaux mixture. The bark
louse yields to the following: One
pound of common soap dissolved in
one gallon of hot water; add two gal
Ions of kerosene and churn. with
force pump if you have one, or by stir
ring until the kerosene and soapsuds
are thoroughly mixed. If the work
has been done right the emulsion will
have the appearance of very thick
cream, and the oil will remain incor-
porated with the soap and water. Di-
lutte with 80 to rs gallons of water
when using. Any of the mixtures will
prove very destructive to the pests if
applied properly. They should be ap-
piled with force pump with a spray
nozzle.

make war on a species of scale which
was then rapidly destroying the orange
groves of the Pacific coast. The little
mercenaries did their work effectively,
and now California has sent them to the
aid of Portugal, whose orange and lem
