The Mouiting Period.

Hens do not moult at the same
period every year. They begin lit
tie earlier each season. A hen that
moults in Auly of this year may moult
in June next year, and the older they
get the sooner they begin to moult.
1t is not desirable to have them begin
before July, as the summer is the best
time in the year for securing eggs.
August is late enough if the hens are
to get through by winter. The object
should be to assist them with nutri-
tious food and protect them from the
weather. Separate the hens that be-
gin to moult from the others, so as to
be able to feed them in the best way.
Tonics in the drinking water are un-
necessary, but fresh bone pounded up
will be found always beneficial.

Tho POd-SpOt.

The yellow or wax varieties of beans
are subject to q disease that is called
pod-spot or anthracnose 1t begins
by the appearance of small spots that
are of a reddish brown color and are
slightly depressed. AS the pods grow,
the centres of these spots assume a
dark color and they may run together.
1t shrinks the pod and dwarfs and
shrivels the beans. 1t is not usually
prominent except in rainy seasons.
1t lies over the winter in diseased
beans. II such beans are mixed with
sound beans, when sending them to
market, the fungus will spread rap
idly. The same rust attacks melons,
and hence melons should not follow
beans that have had the disease, for
the spores, like the spores of corn
smut, are in the ground. If beans
that have been pod-spotted are used
for seed, the disease will appear upon
the leaves as soon as the seed leaves
appear and may kill the plant, and
sometimes the largest proportion of
the crop is killed.
One OF the best preventives is to
plant on high, light, we'll drained
soil. In selecting seed beans, all that
show signs of the disease should be
rejected. When the plants are two
weeks old, they will be benefited by
being sprayed with weak / ordeaux
mixture, to which enough soap has
been added to make little suds. Re-
peat the spraying three or four times
at intervals of ten days. If the pods
are to be eaten the spraying should
not be repeated more than once.
Whenever the disease appears upon
pod or leaf, that pod or leaf becomes
a centre Of infection, and ought to be
removed and destroyed. Burning is
the best means of destruction. .-Agri-

CANossA CASTLE.

have been sold by auction recently
but the italian Government stepped
in and informed the heirs of the late
Count ValdrizLi, the present owners
of the CASTILLO, of the intention of the
State to purchase the property. II
was within the now dilapidated walls
of the castle that Emperor Henry ~.
humbled himself before Pope Gregory
VII. in 1O77, by waiting three days,
barefooted and in sack cloth, for the
papal pardon. Referring to this re-.
markable incident, Bismarck gave ut.
terance to the now proverbial words,
in his struggle against the supremacy
Of the ultramontanes in 1872, etc
Canossa we shall not CO." The castle
was partially destroyed by the revolu.
tionary burghers of Reggie in 1855,
and during the centuries which have
since elapsed the touch of time has
gnawed mercilessly at the once almost
invincible stronghold. Several of the
halls and chambers of the castle are
still intact, and both the italian and
foreign archaeological associations
which were prepared to bid for the
historical ruins at the proposed auc-
ton are now most anxious that the
Italian Government preserve the castle
from further decay in default of re.
storing it to its pristine condition.

other preliminary step is the soaking
of the sorted shells in barrels of
fresh water for three to six days to
render them less brittle. Even when
only few hours out of the river til ,
shells become dry and brittle, and
crumble or split under the saw.
The next step is the cutting or saw
ing of the rough blanks.
The saws are of fiat steel strips
about two inches wide, and of various
lengths corresponding to the sizes of
the buttons. These strips after be-
ing provided with fine teeth along one
of the sides, are accurately bent into
cylindrical form and fitted into
heavy iron holders; the latter are ad-
justed to lathe in which they revolve
on a horizontal axis. As the blanks
are cut they pass back into the saw
and holder and drop into box be.
meath the saw. After being polished,
washed and dried, the buttons go to
rooms where they are sorted into
sizes and grades of quality, and then
sewed on cards and packed in paste
board boxes.
