Mrs. Fairchild was, however, equal to
the occasion and was soon the life and

The ;:aiio Of Bluff.

It appears that short time ago
there were two Boer commanders,
one north and the other south of Ma.
feking.
The northern Boer gunners were
vigorously Smelling the besieged town,
but Baden Powell observed that their
shells were going over the town
toward the other Boer camp. Seeing
nh amusing opportunity of blufing
the Beers, he issued instructions to
the British gunners that when they
saw the Boer Long Tom fire they
were to fire blank charge, and thus
by the smoke omitted lead the Beers
to think their shells we're falling into
the town.
It transpired afterward that the
Boer commandant on the south side
went galloping off to the north camp
in fearful rage and asked the COM
maudant there whit the dickens they
were firing into his camp fory
"We are firing into Mafeking-and
accurately, too" said the northern
commandant.
.'No, you're not" replied the other,
"you're firing into my camp! Just
try blank charge. Those Britishers
are playing the fool with you'll"
A blank charge was fred, and be.
hold there was the usual white bluff

to be fed in his house. My landlady
had sack Of -four which she had hid

up. Officers had made inspections at
every house at the time they were
taking the census, and this sack was
discovered. They reckoned how much
bread the old soul should be able to
make from it, and this quantity they
stopped from her allowance. Water
was turned on for two hours every
day, and no one was allowed to waste
drop. We were only allowed to use
it for washing and cooking.

Some Results From Spraying.


A Montreal correspondent of the
farmers Advocate writes as follows:
With reference to spraying fruit
trees I would say:
1. have sprayed six seasons-ap-
pies and plums.
2. use five pounds sulphate copper
to forty gallons water, five pounds lime
milk, five ounces Paris green. Spray
three times each season, viz, first,
before blossoms burst; second, after
blossoms fall; third, ten days later.
3. The chief points to observe in
preparation of solution are: Careful
ness in mixing and applying in calm
weather. with first-class appliances.
4. The results are: (a) All trees
sprayed have a healthier appearance
in trunk, limb and foliage. (bl Fruit
is much more free from spot aud
fungous disease-fully seventy-ave
per cent.-than in trees not sprayed.
icy The destruction of foliage by in
scots much less; in fact, was able to
destroy millions OF caterpillsrs last
season with the Bordeaux mixture,
using much greater proportion of
Paris green, however, and lime.
5. The approved appearance Of the
spayed fruit, or rather fruit from
sprayed trees, commanded much
greater prices in the English market.
A more profitable sale in consequence
of spraying, equal to at least fifty per
cent
6. Trees in orchards which were
purposely left unsprayed bore I'M.

largely affected by spot, etc.

How to Plant Fruit Trees.

Peach. plum and pear trees should
be planted three to four inches deeper
in the orchard than they stood in the
nursery. az this will bring the budded
junction under ground, and in time
the bud stock will cast roots and give
support and vitality. After the plant.
ing of apple and peach is concluded,
go over and cut back the growth of
the apple one.third to one.half, cut
ting the peach back, all side branches,
to one and two buds of the centre
stalk. Head back the centre stalk to
two and three feet. Pear, plum and
cherry should not be cut back except
to take ont broken limbs.

Whoever has a hotbed in which to
start early plants for setting in the
garden should also have q cold frame
into which he can transplant some of
them to give them more room and
harden them up little before setting
them in the open ground. OF course
there are some who SOW so late in the
hot bed that this is not necessary, but
they do not get their plants so we'll
advanced, and gain but a week or two
when they should gain as many
months. Many are at loss to know
when the temperature is right for
sowing seed in the hotbed. The best
way is to use a thermometer, as one
fairly good can be bought for few
,ents. Plants which require much
heat to germinate in open air, like
tomatoes, peppers, egg plants or mel
DDS, should go in when the heat is at
Or about ninety degrees, while cab
bages, cauliflowers and other medium
early plants will do better if the glass
loes not mark above eighty degr ees,
and lettuce or raddish would sprout
readily at seventy degrees.
Watchiulness in the Orchard.
There was time when fruit grow.
ing was considered "snap," as it
was supposed that very little, if any,
attention would have to be paid to the
,ruit trees in the orchard, for it was
thought they were capable OF taking
,are of themselves.
That day is past, for competition
and tho increase in the number of in
,ects that infest trees has increased to
such an extent that the one who grows
fruit for the commercial market has
got to be always on the alert.
Probably the most important thing
an orchardist should do is the matter
Of getting acquainted with the habits
Of the many different varieties of in.
sects in order that he may be able to
distinguish along this line his friends
from his foes, and determine how best
to pursue and get rid Of the latter.
Another matter of great Importance
and which he should make a study Of,
and that is the character of what is
known as Glow plant organisms"
which are the cause OF the many rusts
aud blights that the many fruit trees
and their products are ravaged with.
The man who makes it point to
get acquainted with such matters is
The one who is going to make sue.
cess OF orcharding, and for such one
