Agricultural nreyities.

From the results of experiments made
during the past three seasons the Geneva
On Y J station is convinced that the
spraying Of late cucumbers on Long Is
land is u highly profitable practice.
In advocating thin seeding Of grain,
The American Cultivator says, 'All
our grains are doubtless, for our eli
mate. sown more thickly than Is neces-
sary.
New Jersey experiments for the past
four years show clearly that the soil
rot of sweet potatoes may be held In
check by sulphur and that tho fungi
eide retains its power for long time
in the soil 1t is also seen that kainit
has beneficial action in connection
with sulphur.
The first cultivation Of tomatoes
should be deep in order to conserve the
moisture and each subsequent cultiva-
tion sballower, in order not to destroy
the roots, which win fill the soil as
soon as the plants reach maturity.
The illustrated report Of the director
Of the New York experiment station at
Geneva gives an excellent idea of the
appointments Of such station and its
facilities fer scientific research into
matters pertaining to agriculture.

The White Flour Fad.

Wheat in its natural state is supposed
to contain all the elements necessary to
the proper nourishment of the body. 1t
is an ideal food But the finer grades
of flour contain little except starch.
Everything which kind nature put into
it for the good of man is taken out for
the sake of whiteness. DR. Ephriam
Cutler. of Harvard. in Il recent able
article on Cereal Foods, published by
the American Medical Weekly, says;
THE gluten of cereal foods is their
nitrogenized element the element on
which depends their life-sustaining val
ne, and this element is, in the white
and foolishly fashionable flour, almost
entirely removed, while the starch, the
inferior element, is left behind and con-
stitutes the entire bulk and inferior
nutriment of such hours. To use flour
from which the gluten Gn the bIan) has
been removed is almost criminal. That
it is useless and foolish needs no fur
ther demonstration. In sickness, and
in the sickness of infants especially,
starch is highly injurious while luten
is life-giving and restorative.

4 Plea for Plain Living.

William Clark, in u recent article in
the New York Independent, discusses
in a very sensible way the bad effect
upon society produced by luxury
which is rapidly spreading to all classes
of people A simple life, such as was
lived by Ruskin, is better calculated to
produce happiness sweetness and rlch-
ness of human character, than the elab-
crate attempts to WOO the goddess of
pleasure by the qualification of the
senses, which result in ennui and sui
eide. He says
F Modern society is founded on money,
and the possession of money is the crite-
rion generally accepted by all classes as
the test of a mans position. 1t is a
rough and easy test which all men can
understand Few men can appreciate
vast learning or deep thinking as tests
Of human excellence. or as authentic
indications of success. Even the lofti-
est character is not appreciated, be
cause il makes a moral demand far in
advance of the accepted standards.
But if man glitters with splendid poss-
essions which others would like to have
if they could when the signs of his
achievements are tangible every one
comprehends that at once; and if he
scatters with free hand the crowd re-
ioices and votes him Il fine fellow.
Thus the money standard is more and
more accepted as our commercial civil
ization extends itself. Commercialisn,
then, is the cause of luxury, ard luxury
is fatal to simplicity of living"
There will never be true culture,
but only mere dilettanteism, until we
have common culture | do not
mean that everybody ought to be learn
ed, since learning will always be the
calling of the few. But the culture can
and ought to be made the property of
all Let us look forward to the time
when the wretched trash which the
mass of our people read, when they read
anything at all will be forgotten, and
all shall enter into possession of the rich
treasures of knowledge and the highest
and purest ideas. Science, by its dis
coveries, should prepare the way by
Tightening the load of daily toll. and it
only needs to organize life on the basis
of common interests and common
needs.

A diplomat is a smooth and plausible
gentleman who can lie systema tically
and pleasantly, and is usually sen t
abroad to misrepresent the sentiment of
one nation toward another.
1t is not difficult to find men who
have gone through the curriculum of
a college, but college curriculums that
have gone through and been assimilated
by man, are. somewhat rare.
Some people are like some horses "A!
ways looking for something to scare at.
1t is better to jog along quietly enjoy
the blessings that are ours, and ford no

As man grows cider he becomes
more indulgent toward the mistakes
and shortcomings of others, because he
is likely to remember that, at some
tine in his life he committed the same
fault.

1t will not be long before we shall
witness the annual defoliation of our
orchards by the familiar grayish meas
uring worms. The number of these
worms might have been greatly dimin-
ished if the trees had been banded or
traps set for catching the female moths.
If this was not done, we cannot do any
thing now till the young worms appear.
Let not the caterpillars this year com
pletely defoliate the trees as in past
years Commence spraying early.
Watch the trees carefully, shaking them
now and then to see if the young worms
are present If they are Matching out,
they will be seen to fall, suspended by
silken threads when the trees are Jared.
The sooner the trees are sprayed after
the first appearance of the larvae so
much the better. 1t would be well to
have everything ready for operations
Procure plenty of pure paris green or
london purple and have the spraying
machine in good working order to Sc
cure quick and effective results. Kan

Pierce is pre-eninently sympathetic phy-
sician. Perhaps more than any other man
in the profession he realizes the bardships
of wouan's work, and the disadvantages
under which she laboTs because OF the
weak delicate and susceptible structure of
the feminine organism. His immense prac-
tice in diseases peculiar to women forced
upon his recognition the fact that women
would never take the proper care Of their
health, so long as that care required the
repuprant " examinations " and local
treatments " insisted upon by nearly all
physicians. After years Of study he invent
ed a remedy now known as DR.. Pierce 5
Favorite Prescription that is an absolute
and unfailiug cure for the most complicated
and obstinate cases OF diseases peculiar TO
