sion and the consolidation Of the Of
flee of tax commissioner that cost
$3.OS7.99 the past two years with the
state treasurer S Office. He says;
1t is asserted, without the possibil-
ity of successful contradiction, that
the whole duties Of the office could
be performed by the state treasurer
without adding materially to his
duties.
The army Of aspirants who have
already applied to serve the state IN
this position demonstrates the Wis
dom of the fathers in providing in
our constitution that "whenelcr an
office becomes SO profitable as to &C.
casion many to apply for it, the pro
fit ought to be lesSened.' And they
might well have added that when an
office becomes unnecessary it ought
to be abolished, which l now recon-
mend.
He also recommends the consolida-
ton of the Office Of quartermaSter
general with that Of the adjutant and
inspector general and the abolish
ment of the brigade organization OF
the state militia and the cost Of this
branch of the state government re-
duced. He places himself souarely on
record in form Of the present prohibi-
tory law and says:
Believing that in our state as a
whole prohibition is the best method
for regulating the traffic, | think the
prohibitorysystem ought to be con-
tinued. ! concur to the belief OF one
of my illustrious predecessors that the
great and manifold evils Of intemper-
ancc are not to be essentially alleviat-
ed by any scheme for licensing the
traffic.
He favors amending the constitu-
ton SO that it can be done every three
years instead of every ten.

Plum Tree Fungus. I.


The fungus may be looked for from
the time of Towering till the fruit is
mature, says Prof. Pammel, of the
Iowa Agricultural College. Much may
be done by removing the diseased
plums from the trees In the autumn. l
have made observation on this fungus
for number of years. and am certain
that it Is much more troublesome where
mummied plums remain on. the tree.
Some years ago observed the fungus
upon the flowers. 1t attacked the
petals, stamens and pistil. Soon the
whole branch became affected with
this blight. In a few days not single
healthy flower remained on the tree.
1t was also noticed to start from certain
parts of the tree. l soon located the
cause in the old monilia-attacked
plums which were hanging on, the
trees. In quite number of cases the
starting point was thus found to be In
these old diseased plums. The object
lesson Is plain-remove all Of the dis
eased plums in the fall. Horticulturists
often overlook this important point in
the treatment Of diseases. Rubbish
heaps containing the spores Of fungi
are too often neglected. They should
be burned. at3 -

Eggs of migratory wild Birds.

1t will surprise many people to know
that some Of the most important migra-
tory birds are now in process of extinc-
tlon because of mans cupidity, not in
killing them, but in destroying their
eggs, and thus preventing their exist
ence. All of them breed In the Arctic
regions, where in summer there is the
greatest abundance Of insect and fish
life on which TO support themselves.
Man has found these breeding places,
and so long as he can secure fresh eggs
he finds ready sale for them at profit
able prices from photographers, who
use only the albumen for making the
films on which their pictures are taken.
1t Is true IL there were not this supply
photographs might be dearer than they
now are. But II this use of their eggs
means the extinction OF many migra-
tory species Of birds, such use Of them
ought to be prohibited by law.-Ameri-
can Cultivator.

Ihe farmers wife has about three
times as much work to do as her city
cousin. She assists her husband In run
ming the farm. Without her aid the
husband would often find 1t difficult to
farm successfully. In many cases the
farmers wife Is not treated as she
should be. Frequently the husband has
been drinking. and after his death the
mortgage takes the property. and the
wife has either to struggle for her liv-
Ing or go to the almshouse. A good
many of our farmers are members of
some beneficial order. This Is all right
and good, but the wife can never feel
happy, because she has to lose her hus-
band before getting her money. The
following is how treat my wife: For
every article sell from the farm give
her 5 per cent Of the money for pres
ent. We have only one pocket-book,
and when i need money use it, and
when she needs money she uses it. The
per cent. is all profit to her. and Is
intended to be used by her In case she
should become a widow. Some of the
readers of the Practical Farmer may
think per cent. is a very small portion.
but 1t amounts to great deal. Farm
ers sell good many articles In year,
often more than they think they do.
In case farmer would only sell $500
worth in year the wife would get $50.
Remember, she has no expenses. She
is clothed and cared for. l am follow
ing this plan now for the last twelve
years, and l am certain that good
many of the readers OF the Practical
Farmer would be surprised IL would
mention the amount my wife has de-
posted in the bank. Suppose a young
man should enter the farm at the age
of 81 and continue his work up to the
age Of G3-or AZ years. If he sells
every year to the amount Of $1,000,
which Is very low sale for the average
farmer. the wife would get $50 year,
or $500 in forty-two years. A smart
wife will take care Of her money as
well as beneficial order or life insur-
ance.-F. +. Frantz. In Practical

Sale of Calves.

A law that would prohibit the sale
of calves for food before they are three
months old would put an end to bob"
veal and lead to Improvement of stock,
for the reason that If farmers were
compelled to feed their calves to the
age Of three months they would then
give some attention to breeding in or
der to derive as much as possible from
the calves. The scrub bull would soon
become useless under such system,
and the farmers would find the change
greatly in their favor. Many of the
infant calves are sold when but three
days old and are then unfit for human
food

In spite Of the casualties among fnap-

not only the smallest ever known In any
year, but smaller than in any quarter

blesome to make. ! find 1t very easy
by the following method: A bar Of
common washing soap is dissolved In
quart of water and allowed to boil,
then two quarts OF kerosene are added
to the boiling soap. This Is churneds

a force pump would be better, but do

very well. When the emulsion is prop

When wood ashes are applied lime Is
unnecessary, as every 100 pounds OF
wood ashes contain about 40 pounds of
line. Ashes vary greatly, as they are
produced from different sources, easily
absorb moisture, and their composition
cannot be determined without careful
examination. The most valuable in

tion being about pounds to every 100
pounds of wood ashes. Ashes also con-
tain about 2 per cent Of phosphorlc acid
and about 3 per cent of magnesla. Coal
ashes are of but little value. Wood
ashes give excellent results on all kinds
