IMITATION BUTTER.
Every Pound of 1t Should Have
Stamped ON 1t the Ingredients
of Which 1t Is Composed.

The healthfulness of oleomargarine
is question that is constantly being
considered. The difficulty of properly
answering the question is increased by
the fact that the oleomargarine of to-
day is not necessarily the oleomargar-
inc of tomorrow, and the oleomargar
inc that is turned out by one factory
is not the same as that turned out by
another. Chemists have now discov-
cred that some oleomargarine contains
parafin, to give it frmer composition.
Paraffin by itself is indigestible, and it
may also be indigestible when incor-
porated with the fats that compose
oleomargarine, but We are not yet GER
tain of that point, for the reason
that no one appears to have Investigate
ed what paraffin will do in such COM
bination. 1t may be less harmful than
by itself or it may be more harmful.
It may be that the union of paraffin
with fat permits some of it to get
through the tissues with the fat, and
there it may work all kinds of mis-
chief-or it may not. However, people
do not care to take their chances on
such uncertainties. It is manifestly
the duty of the government to ascer-
tain such facts for the people. If par
ATTN is to be sold as butter we should
at least know what effect it will have
when taken into the human system.
We believe that every pound of oleo-
margarine that goes out should have
stamped on the package containing it
the ingredients that are used in it's
manufacture, including all the preserv-
atives.-Farmers' Review.

DEVICES FOR FEEDING.

bins on a higher level, are quite COM
mon, but such conveniences are not so
common about corn-cribs. Fig. 2 rep
resents a form of spout or ''shoot' by
which corn can be drawn from a
crib very nicely. The opening in the
crib should be not less than 16 inches
square and the shoot, the same size,
is set sloping down at an angle of
40 degrees. It should be about two
feet long. The bottom is in two
pieces, the lower half being hinged to
the upper. To shut off the corn, this
portion of the bottom is simply
turned up and hooked. A, Fig. z,
shows the shoot with the top off and
the bottom let down. B shows the
shoot closed. Two or three shoots
like this along the side of crib will
save great deal of shoveling and Of
lifting also, if the crib is so situated
that the corn can be run directly into
a sled or wagon.-Albert Rex, in Ohio

MAKING AN OR CHARn.1'
Best Plan for BeEinn ers Il 70 seleLs
81 Varieties That Have Been Tried
55s with Succexs.

AS an orchard, especially the apple
and pear orchard, will, after it has
1nadeaeood growth and become estab-
lished, last an ordinary lifetime, j.:
given proper care, the selection of va
rieties should be made very carefully
TO set out and care for an orchard
until it comes into bearing requires
considerable labor and expense, and
to find out after working four or five
years to secure good growth that a
mistake in the selection of varieties
has been made will prove costly ex-
perience.
Of course there is always chance
OF being imposed upon by the nursery
man. The farmer may make a good
selection and order them, and re-
ceive them properly labeled according
to his order only to find out that he
has been swindled when the trees
commence to bear-too late to avoid
the loss.
The only safe plan is to buy on],v
from responsible nurserymen. who
will not substitute after accepting the
order. There are plenty such so that
there is not much excuse for buying
of irresponsible dealers.
The best plan is to- select for the
principal dependence varieties that
already have been tried and proved.
There is an abundance of these with
out risking too much on untried or
unknown sorts. Because some tray
cling agent who is interested in sell
ing some high-sounding variety at a
big price recommends them is not a
sufficient reason for investing.
Difference in soil and cultivation of
growth make a difference in the
growth and quality of the fruit, and
the only safe guide is to take old and
tried varieties for the main crop and
then if desired a few trees of fancy
sorts of unknown quality may be Sc
lected to try.
On the farm plan first to have full
supply all through the year. Then
if more is wanted plant good winter
varieties that are strong in appear

To Master a kicking Cow,

There are few things around farm
that are more exasperating than a
balky horse or kicking COW. No
trouble will be had with the latter if
this plan is tried: Take two straps
with buckle on the end of each.
Buckle one of them about the animals
hind legs just above the big joint and
back of the udder. This should not be
loose enough to slip over the joint, and
not tight enough to prevent slipping
the other strap through it. Slip the
second strap through the first and
then buckle around the other leg the
same as the first, and draw up until the
legs are held close together. You can
then proceed in safety with the milk
ing. Your cow will neither kick nor
run away. L. Irwin, in Ohio Farmer.

FRUITS IN PUERTO RICO.
Dartnent After Investigation Re.
ports Them OF Poor Quality.

III DR.. OF. Cask, special agent of the
agricultural departments, has re-
turned from Puerto Rico, where he
went to ascertain what species and va
rieties Of plants are found there, in
order that the department. might be
able to enter upon the work of Sc
curing others likely to be of use in
improving and extending the. agri-
cultural industries. He finds that cof-
fee, sugar and tobacco are the princi-
pal productions, and that fruits and
vegetables sold in the markets of
Puerto Rico are inferior in quality
and unsuitable for export. The ba-
mana, for instance, has scarcely been
consider ed as source of income or
an article Of export. It has been
planted principally for shade in coffee
plantations, and as one variety was as
good as another for this purpose,
most of the bananas are unstable.
AS the conditions for commercial ba-
mana growing are favorable, it may
be expected that attempts in this d.
rection will soon be made. It is nee

There is more Catarrh in this section O.:

supposed to be incurable. For great many
years doctors pronounced it local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-

pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

fungus which attacks leaf and fruit.
This can, however, be kept down by
cutting out and burning all diseased

use of Bordeaux mixture to keep the
foliage healthy. No cedar trees should
be allowed to grow near ounce trees.

TEE SAN JOSE SCALE.

Prof. John II. Smith reports to the

pear tree, which was badly infested.
In the early part of January, 1898, he
painted the tree thoroughly from the
tops of the twigs to the ground. Long
before spring opened it was easy to
see that there was not a living scale
remaining on the tree. AS it started
well in the spring, about a dozen trees
were sprayed with a nozzle to cover
them as completely as possible. AS
they had begun to make leaf growth,
he found in some cases foliage in

of oil was put on the fruit buds were
killed. The tree treated in. winter
not only blossomed and bore well, but
it made a rank and vigorous growth,
and the foliage had aecolor that en-
abled anyone to identify it as far as
they could see it. It was as if an

in vigor and growth continues up to
the present time.

injured, and in all cases the scale was
destroyed and the tree appeared Wig

In one case where there were three
rows of apple trees 80 to 40 years old,
the middle row alone was sprayed,
and in June it was a sight to behold.
The other rows looked sickly by the

Mr.. w. F. McCreary, Immigration
Commissioner at Winnipeg, I was in

1898. When I called upon Mr.. McCreary
he spared no pains to give me all

in October bringing my family with
me. I found that the land we had
acquired was of good quality being
strong clay loam with clay subsoil.
Last Spring I sowed 100 acres in
wheat, so acres in oats & barley (75
acres of this grain was sowed on

have no hesitation in advising those
who are living in districts where land
is high in price to come out here, if
they are willing to do fair amount
of work. I am 10 miles from Virden,
which is good market town, and 9
miles from Hargrave where there are

a dwelling house of native stone and
