For plum tree that is about to be
killed by large ants use the following
freely: Paris green or london purple,
ounce; fresh Stacked lime, 10 ounces;
water, twelve gallons. Make paste
of the paris green and lime by mixing
them together thoroughly with small
amount of water. Then add the twelve
gallons of water, mix and strain the
solution. Apply to every part of the
tree and'leaves in fine spray. A regu-
lar spraying machine should be used,
but common syringe will do by climb
ing up into the tree or by using lad
der to reach the top branches. 1t is
likely that one application will be suffi-
cient, but if rains follow repeat the
spraying.

For Dipping Sheep.
The illustration, reproduced from the
Country Gentleman, shows contri-
vance for dipping sheep which is made
MS follows: a two-inch pine plank,
held together by bolts across the ends,
outside; joints put together with white
lead. One end is inclined, so that the
sheep may be drawn upon the draining
table, B, which has Stats upon the top,
SO us to permit the fluid to run back
into the tub. This box Is half filed
with dipping fluid. Two men turn a
sheep upon it's back, lift 1t by its legs
md head and submerge its body. A
third man should stand on the opposite
end of the box to assist in keeping the
sheep under for minute or so while
the wool is soaked to the skin. The
animal is then drawn upon the drain
ing table, and the wool pressed by hand
to force out as much fluid as can read
lily be. The sheep is then lifted to the

All through the arid States of the
West the alfalfa clover succeeds better
than our common red varieties. 1t has
the advantage also Of remaining in the
ground several years when it is once
fairly rooted. The alfalfa roots go
down much deeper than red clover
roots, and i'll this way keep green in
dry weather that curls the red clover.
Yet the alfalfa undoubtedly evaporates
more moisture than red clover, as it
makes IL larger growth.

Farm Notes.

Although timothy hay is preferred
for horses and clover for cows. yet
clover hay that has been cut just as the
heads were beginning to turn brown,
and which has been well cured, is much
more nutritious than timothy, and the
horses will show IL preference for 1t.
Badly cured clover hay, however, is
distasteful to horses more than to
cows.
Should the melons be slow in grow.
ing apply small quantity of nitrate of
soda around each hill and chop 1t in
with the hoe. For beans use mixture
of one pint nitrate of soda and two
parts muriate of potash. One of the
best modes of forcing cabbages to grow
is to hoe them after each rain or cult,
waite so as to have the soil loose and
the ground clear of weeds and grass.
The effect of clearing away the for.
ests is damaging to crops, not that the
presence of forests causes rainfall, but
because they regulate the flow of
water. There is less evaporation near
forests, and the water does not flow
away so rapidly nor cause streams to
overflow at some periods, while dry at
others. The trees serve rs wind
breaks, thus preventing the drying of
the soil by warm winds during periods
OF drought.

price has advanced greatly.
The method of seeking this gum and the
tools required are very simple. The work
man uses sort of harpoon to probe the
ground, and if he recognizes the presence of
gum, he digs down with spade and takes
out the precious substance. 1t is doubtless
owing to the simplicity of the method that so
many have devoted themselves to this work,
which threatens to cause this industry to dis.
appear ere long. The kauri gum felds-at

of only $4,000 hectares q hectare equals

years already the exports have been decreas-

The Government is alarmed at the situation
and has nominated commission which is
charged with studying the measures to be
taken. AT first it was proposed to place an
export duty on the gum, but the result of this
measure would be merely to stimulate the
completion of foreign gums. 1t is probable
that it will be soon decided to give licenses
for digging up the gum only to persons who
have lived in the colony for a certain time.

A strange misconception has arisen
in some quarters as to the propositions
advanced by Judge Simeon Baldwin Of
the Connecticut Supreme Court in the
paper he read before the National Bar
Association on Mans Natural Right
to a Natural Death. AS was to be
expected the church papers have taken
the subject up and discussed it from
various points of view. Some of them
have assumed that he advocated the
ending of life by physical means in
cases of incurable disease, and have
attacked him for it. In fact he pro-
posed nothing of the kind. He simply
questioned the right of the physician
to prolong life by means of artificial
methods of getting nourishment into
the system, when prolonging life SIM
ply prolonged suffering without hope
of cure. His position was that ply
sician's duty was to seek to heal and
to alleviate suffering, but not to seek
to prolung life when nothing was ac-
hieved but to prolong the capacity for
suffering.

The relation of religion to the schools,
a question which every nation has to
deal with, is surrounded by peculiar
conditions in Japan which present a
new phase of an old and veXed ques-
ton. Japan which received civilization
as a ready made article without the
trouble of developing it, has sought to
avoid this religion in the schools ques-
ton, which to all other nations is a
legacy from the process of develop
ment, by completely secularizing all
schools. Schools in which religion of
any kind is taught can not receive the
sanction or privileges of the govern
ment. The result is that all mission
schools must either abandon the chief
end for which they We're established
and are supported, the religious edu-
cation of youth, or else lose their pupils
through the vastly superior facilities
the secular schools offer.

SAMOA.
suffering,

The news from Samoa indicates
peaceful condition there, though it is
evident the elements of trouble are
still there. The proceedings of the
Municipal Council show that the Gov
eminent is giving a good deal Of at
tention to public improvements, such
as road making which is itself a hope
full sign.
There is one factor which threatens
trouble. About thirty of the Malietoa
Chiefs who were ordered by proclama-
ton of the Commission to leave ApIa
and return to their homes have not
yet done so. This causes dissatisfac-
ton among the Mataafa party. The
question of enforcing the proclamation
by force, either that of the local Gov
eminent or that of the naval forces is
engaging the attention of the Munich
pal Council and of the Consuls acting
as the Government of Samoa. DR.. Solf
on behalf of the Council describes the
situation very closely in a communica-
ton to the Consuls. He says: Il beg
leave to express my opinion that the
godillOdl ppNCi illiSiN ioNiiio ~ 90 -
cognized by the Great Powers as an
independent Government ought not to
expect the assistance of Foreign Pow
ers in settling it's own affairs. On the
other hand steps must be taken to pre-
serve the authority of the Government
in preventing open disobedience.
when the High Commission ordered
the native Chiefs to leave the Munich
pality, and return to their homes the
measure was apparently intended to be
of a temporary nature only, and their
proclamation should only be construed
to apply to that period in which peace
had not been fully established. l should
think that the period during which the
meeting together of natives in the Mu-
nicipality is likely to cause danger is
now expired: and consequently that
all Samoans should be allowed to act
as they please with regard to their
visiting the Municipality.
For my part, 1 believe that the Gov
eminent takes upon itself greater res
possibility by permitting open disobe-
dience, than by adopting the latter
course; in which the blame for any
outbreak lies entirely with the ma
tives."

Only last week we examined the beer
brewed by the Capital Brewing Com
pany of Olympia, Wash, and it is a
perfect illustration of the quality of
beer which we are always glad to COM
mend. for the analysis showed it to be
entirely free from any trace of any in
furious substance. Such a high grade
of beer is most beneficial in it's use, for
none of the pure malt and hops have
been displaced by harmful ingredients.
Every hygienist will concur with us in
saying that a beer of such superior eX-
cellence is a very wholesome beverage.
Physician often have occasion to pre-
scribe a pure beer for cases of debilita-
ton, and they can safely order this
beer, made by the Capital Brewing
Company.

: Prophetic Dream.

The following prophetic dream is
related by the president of n theolog-
ical seminary: 1t had been the Gus
tom of one of the professors to invite
all the students, with members of the
faculty, to dinner at n hotel on the
annual Thanksgiving day. On the
morning of that day the wife of this
professor suddenly fell dead in her
dressing room at g o'clock.
That morning at o'clock one of
the students woke up from a bad
dream. He had dreamed that he sat
down with the usual company at the
Thanksgiving dinner and that i'm
mediately one of his fellow students
rose in his place, saying that it was
his painful duty to announce to the
company that the wife of their host
had suddenly died at o'clock that
morning.
This dream, however, he had in
instantly banished from his mind as
an uncanny probability, and had
thought 10 more about it. But on
going to the dinner and taking his seat
with the company he was unspeakabiy
amazed to see the student seen in the
dream rise and to hear him make the
announcement made in the dream
