Mildew Is one Of the greatest obsta-
cles in the way of gooseberry growing
In most parts of the country. A grow
er of experience has found that salt
hay spread over the whole surface Of
the ground to the depth Of three inches
u q preventive. Common coarse hay
or bog grass, soaked In brine, would
possibly answer Just a. well. On &C.
count of the manner in which the salt
absorbs water from the atmosphere,
the mulchtng, and consequently the
vines, are kept at an even temperature.
In an experiment made to determine
the absorptivs powers Of milk there
was inclosed In Jars a portion Of milk,
and in different jars, but not in connec-
ton, different substances giving Of
dayora At the end of eight hours
portion of the milk was drawn from
near the bottom of each jar, by means
of a pippette, 30 as not to disturb any
mart of the milk. In every one-of
afteeu trials-the milk had absorbed
the favor to such an extent that 1t
had penetrated the very lowest stra-
tum.
When the grass is allowed to produce
a.ed II e1hausts the soil more than
when a crop of hay Is cut before the
seeds are permitted to appear. When
seed heads form then the plant has
fulfilled its mission and has stored in
the seeds a larger proportion of the
mineral elements than remains In the
stalks of the plants, in many cases,
as the green plants, when cut down
early consist largely Of water. A grain
crop and a crop Of seed from grass
deprive the soil Of proportion Of all
the fertilizing substances existing
therein

president, and 7. l.. Lewis, vice Eresi-
dent. of the miners national OrganiZa-
ton. sent a committee to NOvinger to
urge the miners there to so to work
pending a settlement. The operators
told President Mitchell that If he could
not make the miners work under the
Chicago agreement there would not be
any evidence that he could make them
abide by any agreement they might
make with him here.
If the Novinger miners go back to
work the chances are they will have
the backing of the national o%rganiza-
ton in their demands. Until the min
ers do return to work there is little
prospect that anything that can affect
the mine situation will be attempted,
as the operators are determined to
make the national officers show that
they can make good on any agreement
they may make. With that accom-
plished Mitchell will move for IA quick
settlement one way or the other. He
has agreed to stay here until some sort

SAYS HE IS SATISFIED.

Hon. John Montgomery is perfectly
satisfied with his refusal to withdraw
from the contest for the nomination
of Senator. He says he has the salts
faction of having done what no one
else has dared do, stood out against
the New Brunswick bosses to the last.
He also says that he had a right to
the nomination and is pleased that he
had the support of his delegates and
that his W townsmen and others
stood by him. The Home News was
rather severe in an editorial Friday,
on the subject. MI. Montgomery said,
"Some parties may need help some
time in the future" and although it
was said very quietly there was a
world of meaning in the remark. He
smiled over the remarks in the differ
emit papers and shows that he is fully
able to bear his defeat and that he is
one who will never say die.
