The visit tn Newhury of Rev. Harvey 9.

event. Mr. Wood first came here in 'SH

Wood assisted in the service. In the even

Mr. Wood spoke for an hour, and held the
large audience with perfect case. What
he had to say of the old Newbury Seml0-
airy during his connection with 1t as mem
her of the faculty and principal was Of
great interest to his audience. He taught
from seven to eight hours per day, ana
his classes numbered from 80 to 81 pupils
and his classes in astronomy numbered %
while associate principal his salary was
1913 per year and as principal 800, on
Monday evening Mr. Wood gave an Illus
tratcd lecture ON astronomy at the Meth
CdSt church and spoke as only thoro 81
master of the subject could do. Although
in his S5th year Mr.. Wood was active dl'd
showed wonderful physical vgor and
mental grasp. He walked to Mt. Pulaski

It is q noticeable fact that the In
duence Of horticultural conventions q
on the increase. This IL perhaps large
ly due to the advance being made in
Horticultural education ut our agricul-
tural colleges. The colleges are an
nually turning out students and are
also every year supplying more pro-
fessors as speakers at such meetings.
In the last few years . distinct i'm
provement has been noticeable in the
quality Of the papers presented. This
condition should be recognized by the
great mass Of farmers and the conven-
tons should be more freely attended.
The improvement in travelling facili-
ties makes this possible.
For years there has been keen con-
troversy between the men that favored
keeping pear orchards in sod and those
that favored keeping them in . state
Of high cultivation. The on-lookers
have been Of the opinion that It did
not make much difference 90 fhr as
the blight was concerned whether the
orchards were In sod Or not Now.
however, the Maryland Agricultural
College has come out with q circular
stating that at that institution It 10
considered proved that pear orchards
that have become affected With blight
should b got into sod a 500 as pos
sible; that high cultivation and fer
t~ilisation help the blight rather tLan
stop It. This Of course r. not advised
for orchards that are not affected by
the pest We doubt, however, II the
opinion Of the Maryland college win

A sheep breeder that has had years
of experience selecting and mating
sheep says.
One Of the very worst mistakes one
can make in selecting the head of the
nock, is to get one lacking vigor and
constitution. II this is lacking nothing
a make up for it, and it need not be
lacking If the buyer is at all ~acquaint-
ed with his business. Never mind his
record. or who his grandfather was or
wasn't, till you have seen the animal
himself, and then don't let the record
change your opinion of him. No mat
ter how long a sleeps pedigree Is. II
his neck and legs are long, too, you
don't want him. A ram should have
two good ends on him If possible, but
the front end is by far the most i'm
portant. II there is lots of heart room,
the front legs wide apart, the wider
the better, and the neck short and
strong. then the rest of the animal is
pretty apt to be right, or at least not
Tar out of the way. Frequently a fine
ram will be SO wide and full in the
shoulders that he will appear narrow
and peaked behind, where II his shoul-
ders were as sloping and thin as some
sheep, his hips would seem anything
but deficient. After the deep, wide
chest and short, thick neck are secured
see to 1t that the legs are short, stout
and bony. Lots of bone, large, strong
joints. and a fiat, rather than a round,
pipe-stem leg, are the things to insist
upon. The belly and back line should
both be straight, the back broad and
the skin bright red, though dark and
even lighter skinned rams are some
times very vigorous. This is not the
rule, however. We like a strong, thick,
well covered ear, but good authorities
are not unfriendly to a thin ear. A
bold, proud carriage means much, and
an active, quick-moving animal, mus
cular and bony rather than fat and
slow, il much to be preferred. and last
but not least, the head Of q flock o.
mutton sheep should weigh something.
In these days nothing al make up for
IN underlined body; It's is light enough
for any mutton ram to weigh In ordi-
nary flesh. and 200 to 275 is far better.
With ordinary western treatment the
lambs will not be too large then.

OST people think that catarrh is a
disease confined to the head and
nose. Nothing is farther from
the truth. 1t may be that the nose and
throat is the oftenest affected by ca
tarrh. but IL this Is so it is so only
because these parts are more exposed
to the vicissitudes Of the climate than
the other parts of the body.
Every organ. every duct. every cavity
Of the human body is liable to catarrh.
A multitude of ailments depend on ca
tarrh. This is true winter and sum-
mer. Catarrh causes many cases OF
chronic disease. where the victim has
not the slightest suspicion that catarrh
has anything to do with it.
