Grape and Apple Rot.

Warning has been given by the Ohio
station that spraying at six day inter-
walls is imperative while weather Is
SO favorable for grape rot; also, that
1t is no longer safe to use the regular
bordeaux mixture except perhaps once
on Catawba grapes. Upon Concords
and other varieties ripening with the
Concords or earlier ammoniacal cop
per carbonate or soda bordeaux mix
ture, preferably the latter, should be
substituted. since the ordinary bor-
deaux mixture will coat the grapes
too much. Grape growers are urged
to substitute one of the last named
sprays, by preference the soda bor-
deGux mixture, and to persist in the
spraying until Aug. Is; upon Cataw-
has one application should be made
after that date.
AS remedy for bitter rot of apples
1t recommends spraying at intervals of
two weeks during the earlier period OF
outbreak. 1t believes that soda bor-
deaux mixture is probably the best
fungicide for this purpose; the ammo
niacal copper carbonate may also be
used.

The Grain Crop Large.

Sec Wilson who returned 10 Washing
ton, Thursday night from a trip through
the west summarized the agricultural con-

included Nebraska, Kansas. Iowa, Illinois

He said there was great abundance
of crops generally in that region.
There will be a good corn CROP" be
said. Corn now is substantially out oil

The wheat crop of the west this year
is also very fine and what may be consid
cred as really the most important crop oil

The fine crop Of grass insures lower
prices of meat do not believe that the
price of meat however, will ever be as low
as it has been in the past for the simple
reason that the American people are more
prosperous than ever before and are eat
ing more meat than ever before.
However the exceedingly high prices
of meat will be thing of the past as soon
as the present "feeders" get tattened up
to beef condition Another thing thai
will tend to keep the price OF meat little
above the former low price, is the demand
of England for our meats"

Canada.s Great Forest.

Many persons have wondered ii the sto-
res are true about an immense northern
belt OF timber stretching across Canada
from the Atlantic to Alaska It is said
that none Of this forest has yet been util-
lied by man, though it has immense re-
sources in pulp wood and other timber.
There is no doubt that the timber is
there and thatit is a great reserve source OF
future wealth. One may easily trace this
belt of timber far across Canada on any
map.
The east end of the bel, almost over
hangs Atlantic waters to the north OF the
Strait of Belle Isle and touches the waters
OF the Gulf of ST. Lawrence. south of that
strait. 1t sweeps westward round the
southern prolongation of Hudson Bay.
known as James Bay, northwest between
Hudson bay and Lake Winnipeg, TO be-
yond the Churchill River and then on a.
cross the lake regions OF the Northwest
Territories and still farther to Alaska.
This mighty belt of trees is about 4 600
miles long and has an average width OF
700 miles. or course the trees tend to
become smaller in the North.
Probably DR.. Robert Bell, the we'll
known geologist, who has been connected
with the Canadian Geological Survey for
many years, has written more about this
northern forest than any other man. He
has been studying the geographical distri-
button of the Canadian forest trees for
forty years and his maps are often used TO
show the extent of the Canadian timber
lands.
One of his maps published in the Scot
fish Geographical Magazine in 1897 shows
the northern limits of the provinces (the
eastern provinces) of Canada.
The great northern forest belt has every
where the same characteristic features.
The trees as rule, are not large and con-
sist for the most part of nine species
black and white spruce, Banksian pine,
larch, balsam fir, aspen, balsam pine,
canoe birch and bird cherry. with several
kinds of small willows. The spruces.
spread all through the belt. thrive further
to the north than any of the other vari-
cites.
There are great forest fires in this tree
belt, but we seldom hear of them They
are mostly due to lightning in the summer
time for during the hot. dry season light

The conditions are then perfect for
great forest fires, the pitchy trees burning
with almost explosive rapidly. Some Of
the fires have been known to run over 100
miles in ten hours or at rate of fifteen
miles an hour.
These fires account for the paichy ap-

through the forest are different shades OF

These shades OF color represent growths
OF different ages beginning after forest fires
of different periods. This process of
growth and destruction is going on all the
while.
Sometimes the areas destroyed embrace
thousands Of square miles. On the whole
however, it is believed that the new growth
fully replaces the destruction, so that the

COPE

Like the running brook, the
red blood that flows through
the veins has to come from
somewhere.
The springs of red blood are
found in the soft core of the
bones called the marrow and
some say red blood also comes
from the spleen. Healthy bone
marrow and healthy spleen
are full of fat.
SCOTS Emulsion makes new
blood by feeding the bone
marrow and the spleen with
the richest of all fats, the pure
cod liver oil.
For pale school girls and
invalids and for all whose
blood is thin and pale, SCOTS
Emulsion is a pleasant and rich
blood food. 1t not only feeds
the blood-making organs but
gives them strength to do
their proper work.

George c. E1dridge Finds Something
which Many Consider to be Better
Than Gold-His Statement.
There is much talk in the town OF
Allegheny, Pa, over the discovery made
by Mr.. George G. Eldridge of that place.
After long search he has found some
thing better than gold. In recent in
terview he says:
Eyes, have made what consider to
be an important discovery. To tell you
about it / must start at the beginning.
"That was a number of years age"
he continued. "The nature of my work
forced me to be very irregular with my
meals and that, together with general
misuse of my stomach, brought on ner-
vous dyspepsia. My trouble commenced
with bloating constipation and this was
accompanied with pain in TIE back and
stomach. l suffered with shortness of
breath and palpitation of the heart, sleep
lessness and an absolutely miserable
feeling at all times. About three years

affected and caused me considerable
trouble.

cure me but they gave me only tempo
rary relief. became utterly discour-
aged. Then tried DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People. Relief came in
about a week and at the end Of four
months was entirely well.
II can only say that I believe / owe
my life to DR.. Williams Pink Pills and
can find no words to express my thanks
for what they have done for me. Better
than gold is but mild praise for them.
Everybody who knows me remarks the
wonderful change. can eat anything
now, sleep like child and do my work
with ease. l do not need medicine any
more although always keep DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People on

Mr.. Eldridge lives at No. 235 Carroll
street, and is but one of thousands who
always speak of DR.. Williams Pink Pills
in the highest terms of praise. They
know what this remedy will do, for
they have used it. 1t acts directly ON

The available remedies for this in.
sect are preventive rather than cura-
tive. Wheat should not be grown con-
tinously on the same soil, and indeed
long rotation should be introduced In
which there are a variety of crops.
We have known many persons who
were troubled with this pest to burn
their stubble, thinking in this way
that they brought about the destruc-
ton of large numbers. Fortunately
there is fungous disease that attacks
this maggot and fly, so that there is
some likelihood Of its rapid increase
being prevented.
