/ AT a recent farmers conven-
tion Professor Burrill, of the
University Of Illinois, gave to his
hearers a piece of information
that he said had not yet got into
the books. 1t was relative to the
first spraying of fruit and trees
for fungous diseases. 1t has been
believed that in the case of most
OF these pests the spores lived
over on the twigs of the trees,
It was advised to spray before
1.-THE blossoms were open, for the
purpose Of killing these colonies
of spores. Fruit raisers have
been religiously carrying out in
structions in this regard, and the
experiment stations have been
sending out spraying calendars
year by year in which the fruit
raiser is advised to spray before
the opening of the blossoms. But
now it has been found that the
theory of the spores living over
on the twigs is erroneous. The
spores live over on the leaves that
fall to the ground and lie there
till spring. With the first breath
of spring these spores ripen suffi-
ciently to float in the air, and as
soon as the young leaf begins to
expand they find lodgment
there and begin their life work.
1t is therefore useless to spray at
the earlier time Indicated in most
of our books on spraying. 1t also
adds greatly to his hopes for if
the spores live over on the dead
leaves the proper way to get rid
of them is to destroy the leaves.
This may be done by clean cult
vation, plowing under the leaves
that escape the burning.-Kansas
Farmer.

The chief Industry OF Gene

The chief industry Of Geney;
is the manufacture of musica
boxes. Thousands of men, wo
men and children are employed
in the factories, one of which was
visited by traveller, who gives
some interesting particulars
about his visit.
An attendant invited him to
| take a seat. He did so, and
strains of delightful music came
from the chair. He hung his hat
on a rack and put his stick in the
stand. Music came from both
rack and stand. He wrote Jlis
name in the visitors register, and
ON dipping his pen into the ink
music burst forth from the ink
stand.
The manager Of the factory ex-
planned the process Of making
musical boxes, a business which
requires patience and nicety. The
different parts are made by men
who are experts in those parts,
and who do nothing else, year in
and year out.
The music is marked on the cyl
inder by a man who has served
several years of apprenticeship.
Another man inserts in the mark
ed places pegs which have been
filed to uniform length. The
comb. or set of teeth, which
strikes the pegs and makes the
sound, is arranged by man who
does nothing else. The cylinder
is then revolyed, to see that every
peg produces a proper tone.
The most delicate work of all is
the revising of each peg. 1t is
done by a workman who has a
good ear for music. He sees that
every peg is in its proper place
and is bent at the correct angle.
When the instrument is in its
case, an expert examines it to see
that the time is perfect.-New
York Herald.

A Giant ObeIisk.

Redstone, N. H., is the proud
possessor of the. biggest granite
block in the world.
1t is 145 feet long, 35 feet wide
and 28 feet in depth. 1t took 300
pounds of powder to blow it out
In one piece.
The largest previous piece OF
granite quarried in America was
a shaft 81 feet long and five feet
through at the base, quarried in
Vinalhaven for a soldiers monu-
ment, but that weighed after pol
ishing only one one-hundred and
twentieth as much.
As it stands the great shaft of
stone measures 14O,OO cubic feet
and weighs 1870 tons. If it were
cut into an obelisk of the usual
proportions it would weigh about
4,500 tons and would be much
heavier even then than any ODE
lisk ever set up in Egypt. The
largest known block of brown
stone in the world is a fallen shaft
at Karrak, 120 feet long and Is
feet square at the base. 1t
weighs but 5000 tons.

An Arkansas editor recently or
dered a pair of trousers from a
tailor. On trying them on they
proved to be several inches too
long. 1t being late Saturday night
the tailor shop was closed and the
editor took the trousers to his
wife, asked her to cut them off and
hem them over. The good lady,
whose dinner perhaps disagreed
with her, brusquely refused. The
same result followed on applica-
tion to his wife's sister and also
the oldest daughter. But before
bedtime the wife, relenting, took
the pants and cutting six inches
from the legs, hemmed them up
nicely and returned them to the
closet. Hall an hour later her
drughter, taken-with compunction
for her un6lial conduct, took the
trousers, cut off six inches and re-
placed them. Finally the sister.

Which Foot walks the Faster9

You may think this a very silly
question to ask, but is it? Their,
is no catch about it. it is sim
pie demonstrable fact which you
can prove to your own satisfac
ton in a very few minutes. If you
Will take any pavement that is
clear of other pedestrians, so that
there shall be no Interference and
wlk brisklyin the cen:er. YOU will
find that before you have gone a
hundred yards you will have
veered very MUCH TO one side.
You must not make any con-
scious effort, of course to keep
to the center, or you may do it,
and if you will think Of some
thing and endeayor to walk nat
urally it is hundred to one you
cannot keep a direct line.
The explanation lies in the pc
culiarity of one foot to walk fas-
ter than the other. Or, to be more
correct, perhaps it should be said
that one leg takes little longer
stride than the other, and this,
combined with the quicker move
ment, causes one to walk more to
one side than the other.
1t is well known, for instance,
that if one is lost in the woods,
the tendency is to walk in cir.
Gle, and eventually to return 60
about the starting point. This
demonstrates the fact also that
one foot walks faster than the
other.
You can try an interesting ex-
pertinent in this way if you will
place two stakes in the lawn
about eight feet apart and then
stand off>about sixty feet, allow
yourself to be blindfolded, and
to walk between them.
You will find it an almost impos-
sible task, because one foot will
go a bit faster than the other,
either to the right or left. Now,
which one of your feet walks fas-
ter than the other?
