A WASH FOR FRUIT TREES.
II Is Cutie a Simple Eixtors, But
Very satisfactorv Results Have
Come from It's Use.

The loss g 400 cherry trees IN one year
by disease or insects by a Minnesota
fruit grower reminds me Of how / used to
treat other trees. In the summer Of 1885
| spent three months In Florida treating
similar diseases that troubled and killed
orange and lemon trees. | put one peck
unslaked lime into a 5O-gallon barrel |
then put in four pounds sulphur and
slaked with warm water. | then added
two ounces crude carbolic acid, stirred
rapidly till we'll mixed. then added
enough water TO make the quantity -
gallons. | kept it covered while being
mixed, being careful not TO breathe the
fumes.
I applied while very hot with a long
handled broom to the trunks and large
limbs, and With a spray pump to the tops,
| have taken orange trees with a stckly
yellow leaf and with one thorough ap-
plication caused them to put on a dark
green foliage and start a new growth in
less than four days. The white coating
on the foliage, when applied to northern
trees, should be washed off In a few
hours il the weather is dry, and should
be washed off the trunks In a few days,
BY so doing the fertilizing material Will
then go to the ground and will all be In
available form for food for the trees, a
food that the trees need AT the time,
which fact the diseased condition plain
~ indicates.
Here, early in June, with such mate
rial, l have produced in apple trees II
vigorous, healthy growth. In a week no

is injured by other diseases it is because
certain kinds of food are lacking in tina

a fertilizer is needed | would not use

apply this wash to the trunks and larger

the bark to receive and assimilate more

PARTIALLY DRIED PASTURE.
Valuable Sheep Feeding Test Conduct,
ed at the South Dakota Ex-
pertinent Station.

At the South Dakota station, In or
der to learn something Of the posi-
bility Of utilizing partially dried pas
turage, with and without grains, in
the fattening of lambs for the early
winter market, six lots of ten common
grade ewes, from one to six years old
and weighing about 100 pounds each,
were pastured from September 6 to
November 2, each lot having the run
of two acres of native prairie grass
which had not that season been pas
tured or cut for hay.
All the lots except one were fed on
grain, the sheep on corn and on oats
each making IN average daily gain of
A pound per head, those on bread
wheat 0.31 pound, on spelt 0.29 pound,
and on barley 0.38 pound. The grain
eaten per pound of gain ranged from
SO pounds with the corn-fed lot to ~
pounds with the sheep on spelt, and
the cost of a pound of gain from three
cents on oats to SO cents on breai
wheat. With the sheep fed with no
grain there was a total loss of 81
pounds. During the last two weeks of
the trial it was noted that the losses
were about twice as great as during
the preceding two weeks, and that the
gains made by the other lot were cor
respondingly lower during the same
period. This was accounted for in part
by the fact that the grass had been
considerably injured by irost.-Prof. J,
w. Wilson, in Midland Farmer.

COULD HEAR IN GERMAN,
A Horse That Was Not Used to In

Language.

81 bought a horse at an auction not
long ago. said an Eighth avenue butcher,
according to the New York Press, and ]
thought | had got a bargain until tried
him a few days; then l concluded that |
had been stuck. The horse was sound,
had good sight, but he would not obey
commands. He would not stop when the
driver said Whoa nor start when he SAID
Git up!' The animal seemed to be deaf,
and the first chance | got | sold him to u
German baker at a sacrifice.
Shortly after that | met the baker, and
he shook my hand cordially and expressed
himself as being very much pleased with
the horse | had sold him. | wondered at
this and asked if the horse seemed to have
any difficulty in hearing. To my surprise,
the baker said the morse could hear as
well as any horse he ever had,
Does he stop when you say whoa"
and start when you say Git up?' ]
asked.
"'Oh, no. exclaimed the baker, 4 don't
say dot! | talks to him in German!
That horse must have belonged to o
German before he was put up at auction,
That is the only way | can account for his
actions"

The People Who Count.

The prevailing idea that the people
who count most are those possessing
wealth or powerful position or fame is,
all things considered, a mistaken one.
Wealth. positions Of power and fame
count a great deal, it is true; in specific
instances they carry the desired point
of their ~possessor, and specific instances
are vital things. But, taking the'sum
total of the results of the efforts Of hui
manity. we must look to the great I'M
known. the common people, as the ones
who really count. The millions whose
lots are comparatively humble and whose
worldly goods are few represent the
highest and mightiest race force. They
control the power that makes and un-
makes nations. They are the dispas-
sionate, the even class. They busy them
selves with the common, everyday occu-
pations; they live quietly and contented-
ly where the measure of their fortunes
is cast. Just plain, ordinary people, n
may think. but they are the people who
determine the destiny of the world. They
are he ones who count.-Baltimore Her.

MEDICINE IN VEGETABLES.
Physicians of the Future May Pre-
scribe Them Instead Of Maui
seous Drugs.

1t is a common observation that the
quantity Of an characteristic element in
a plant varies with its richness in the
soil. This, of course, a correlative of the
well-known beneficial action OF feruliz-
ers in increasing plant growth. Its now
proposed, however, TO attempt the cul-
tivation of medieated ~plants-that is,
common vegetables containing alb
normal quantities Of substances 1t is
desired to administer, says the Philadel-
phia Record.
II is evident to every n at all &C.
quainted with the laws Of physiology
that the assimilation of mineral ele-
ments by the body is much more readily
accomplished when these are partaken
In the form Of food in vegetables. In
the past, if the body has needed an ex-
cess of iron, it has been supplied By iron
tinctures taken through a glass tube
after meals.
The modern idea Is to supply this want
by certain vegetables, such as spinach.
Experiments looking to the demonstrn-
ton of this scheme have been undertake
en- recently in Europe. Ferrugirous
plants were grown in soil enriched by
the addition Of hydrate of iron, and upon
analysis 1t vas found that plants grown
in such soil contained a much larger
percentage of iron than similar plants
grown in natural soil.
Of course it is not to be supposed that
this increase in the percentage can be In
creased indefinitely, but it can be carried
to a maximum point which is very much
greater than the average. This same
demonstration has also been carried out
in connection with tea cultivation. SAM
pies of tea leaves from several plaAta-
tons having similar climate and alti-
tude conditions, but dii1erent soils, were
| gathered, and, after drying, were ana
lyzed in the laboratory for their con-
tent of iron, nitrogen, p~hosphoric acid,
siliCic acid, caffein and ash.
The various soils in which the sew
eral plants yielding the sample leaves
had been grown were also analysed for
similar elements, and it was found that
the chemical composition Of the soil,
especially the quantities of those sub
stances taken by the plant, has an infiu-
ence, clearly demonstrable by chemical
analysis, on the composition of tea leaves
produced on such soil.
A very interesting vista opens up to
the prophetic eye in giving free rein to
the imagination on this fascinating sub
ject. Will the doctor of the future, in
stead of ordering a nauceous dose from
the druggist, prescribe a course of me-
dicinal Vegetables, furnishing the iron, or
potash, or manganese, etc, by means of
these "doctored" or "medicated" veg
etables? Certified milk, which, with its
guaranteed proportion of milk fat, milk
sugar and solids, might have seemed an
improbable commercial article so years
ago, and, if so, why not certified vege-
tables in the immediate future?
