The New Peach Disease.

The disease called Little Peach Is
giving serious trouble to orchardists
in New York and Michigan. and the
subject is being investigated by Gov
eminent experts. The cause is due, in
part at least. to a fungous growth
which attacks the roots. but the cause
has not been positively proved. The
malady somewhat resembles peach yell
lows in its effect. The main symp-
toms are the small size of the fruit
without special spots or blotches; the
general feebleness and final following
of the trees anu their gradual decline
and death without apparent cause. The
disease often spreads in a circle from
the tree first attacked. The spread
is slow, generally taking from three
TO five years or more TO spread through
an orchard. The only remedy yet dis
covered is to pull out the diseased
trees as soon as the first symptoms
appear and this course is the one
urged by the agents of the depart
ment.

Handling Fowls in Yards.

Where it is necessary to keep the
fowls confined to houses and yards dur
ing the summer and not much chance
to divide the yards. the lest way to
handle them is to have the yards of
four-foot netting. the top covered over
as well. and every few weeks move
these yards to a new location. where
fowls have not been the present year.
This is considerable trouble. but it
must be done If chicks and fowls are
kept on small area. If it is not pos
sible to let the fowls have a. range.
then green food must be provided in
some way. A good plaN is to give
them some cut grass or weeds at night
just before they go to roost.
\ better plan is to rake up the cut
tings following the lawn mower, for
they can consume these short blades
better than grass cut with scythe.
All fowls in confinement ought to be
allowed to run for an hour or two each
night, even though it is necessary for
several people to keep them out of mis-
chief. This run will do them a world
of good, and the egg results will pay
for the trouble of watching them.
Don't forget the necessity for an
abundance of fresh water several
times daily.

Most fruit growers are familiar with
the pot-grown strawberry plants offer
ed By nurserymen for setting in the

AS a rule such plants are too expen-

crop, next summer, of sufficient size to
determine the desirability of the va

crease ones own plantation by taking
from the old beds the new plants and

Handling Bags ID Grain.

ofES va
In grain-growing sections more or
less grain in bags has to be handled
by man-power, and this becomes con-
siderable of a burden after a time.
A device for assisting in this work
may be easily constructed by any
handy man. Set heavy post in the
ground so that it will stand about two
and one-half feet above the surface;
then take a heavy board, the wider
the better, and about ten feet long.
Cut two pieces of board wedge-shape
and fasten to the lower edge of the
board. Cut these pieces so that when
they rest on the ground with the other
end OF the board resting on the beveled
top of the post the whole thing is
firm.
Then have a hook formed with a
short handle, such hook as is used

French Count Will Lose His Rank I'm
less He Weds Rich Wife.
Count Alphonse De Campau has
come to America to get a wife Tho
brutal frankness with which he has
announced the object OF his visit is
somewhat humiliating to American
pride, but it is not altogether repre-
hensible. Count De Campau is willing
20 marry pretty much any girl who
has fair hair, blue eyes. a graceful lig-
ure and $4,000 a year. In exchange
he will bestow upon her his title and
a certain dominion over his family es-
tates at Toulouse. In explanation he
says: If l do not get $4,000 a year
me estates pass away Ii tie states
pass away. there is no need of per-
petuating my family. Therefore have
no need of a wife. If l have n wife
must keep the estates 1t will take
at least $4,000 year to maintain
them. Therefore. il ! have a wife, |
must have $4,000 year; do you see?'
OF course we see. The whole thing
is as plain as the nose on Count De
Campau's face We would not see
quite so clearly. perhaps, had not the
same thing been done so often before,
but In the circumstances there is moth
ing for it but for the American people
10 see in exactly what estimation their
young women are held by any and
every titled foreigner who is willing to
bargain for one of them. Any girl
who has money enough can have a
more or less noble husband for the ask
ing and there does not seem to be any
so ignoble foreigner who may not pro-
vide himself with rich American
wife if he is In the matrimonial mar
ket.

seeing, with the landscape from Bos-
ton to San Francisco Uttered up with
modest maidens who are perpetually
hawking their charms, plus 4 pecuni-

that Count De Campau will have little
or no trouble in obtaining the wife
