lively. The conditions were ideal.
The weather was beautifully clear,
and fresh wind wss blowing to help
the birds on their way; and yet under
such favorable circumstances few of
the birds attained a speed of mile
q minute, which in these days of
swift locomotion is beginning to be
considered comparatively Glow.
Better times we're made not long
ago, when thousand pigeons we're
tossed at Templecombe TO race to
London. Assisted by southwest
wind, they travelled so rapidly that
many of them had reached their
cotes some time before their owners
even thought of looking for them.
One bird actually covered 1O8 miles
in ninety, four minutes, maintaining
throughout the long journey a speed
of nearly sixty-nine miles an hour y;
another did equally as we'll by travel
ing TO Chelsea at the average rate of
2,018 yards o minute, while one bird
out of every ten exceeded sixty miles

The Wealth of Nations.

The latest estimate of national
wealth by competent authority was
recently given before the British in
come tax committee by Mr.. Mallet,
one of the commissioners of inland
revenue. Mr.. Mallet placed the nation
al income at $4,000, 100000 against the
So, 500, 0000 600 of Prussia. The capital
of the United Kingdom he estimated as
$40, 500, 600, 900, which was double that
of France and four times that of Italy.
According to his estimate, the number
of persons possessed of fortunes of
over 100000 was in the United King
dom 10000, in France $4,000, in Prus-
STA 1900 and in Italy 1900. An Eng
lishman with an income of $1,000 pays
$3.50 income tax, a Prussian pays
S2125O on $1,000 of unearned income
and $3.50 in the case of earned in
come.
The wealth of the United States
cannot be estimated from any official
source, but at the observed ratio of
increase noted in 1900 it cannot well
be less than S11o.0OO,OOO,OO0 and is
probably considerably greater. - New

often attacks the plants just before
blooming, causing the leaves to brown

What Professor Fraser Says.
A Profitable Grade Dairy.

Numerous items have been printed of
late showing that dairying, when well
directed, is profitable. 1t is doubtful!
If any dairy can make better &C
counting than that of c. S. Morris at
Portlandville. While the price paid to
Mr. Morris is low, yet the record is ex,
cellent From March 1, 1905, to March
i, 1905, twenty cows gave 1S5.o2l
pounds of milk, an average of 9.216
per COW. The milk sold on the aver
age for 81 OS 1-3 per hundred pounds,
making the total receipts S2,01S.sO, an
average Of $1oO.54 per cow. Three
two-year-old heifers were included in
the dairy The cows are all grade Hol-
stems. To be accurate, it should be
stated that Mr. Morris fed to the dairy
about 5000 worth of grain during the
year.--Otsego On. " Farmer.

PLUM GROWING.
A Comparison of the Japanese and
European Varieties.

European Varieties.
There is a long list of japanese vari-
cites of the plum, the cream of them on
our grounds being Abundance, Bur
bank, Red June and Chabot. The Cha
bot is a variety that has been named
and renamed. We have in our trial or
chards about ten varieties, all of which
when fruited are Chabot.
The Japan plum, like the peach, sue
ceeds on certain soils and in certain
localities and in another location is a
failure. In the eastern states the trees
are no longer lived than the peach
and need about the same kind of soil
and culture as the peach. Rot and
scale are the dreaded enemies of both
peach and plum. The American varie-
ties, as far as my observation goes,
are immune from scale, but on Euro
pean and Japanese varieties it flour
ishes. Lime, sulphur and salt is the
best insecticide for the plum, as it is
for the peach.
l am of the opinion that we will vet
have to drop the Japs and grow the
European. The rot and scale, especial
ly the rot, are about the only difficult
ties in the way of profitable plum
growing. The curculio no longer inter
fereS TO any extent.
The European is more desirable as a
dessert fruit and also for preserving.
The Gage, Spaulding, Lombard and
Niagara have done we'll on our grounds,
and when we can find spray that will
not harm the foliage 1 think we will
be able to abate the rot and grow the
better European varieties.-E. S. Black,

Item of Expense That Mounts I'D In
the Case of Big Buildings.
The cost of having house or apart
ment windows of ordinary size cleaned
by professional window cleaners is
about 10 cents window. So man
living, say, in an apartment having
ten widows would pay 81 for having
his windows cleaned; if he had them
cleaned twice a month 50 and if once
a week 81 Il month-not matter OF
very serious moment.
But when it comes to big buildings,
with many windows. the window
cleaning question may easily be very
different proposition. The most re
Gently opened Of the city's great mod
ern hotels has about $500 windows.
Obviously if 1T cost 10 cents each to
have these windows cleaned the cost
OF a single cleaning of them would
be $3.50.
If they were cleaned twice a month
at that cost the expense would be SIOO
a month or SIS, 400 n year, and to clean
them once a week at 10 cents win
dow would cost annually $1s,200
AS matter of fact. the expense is
much less than that. but still the actual
cost OF the work. done partly by con

Is done by men employed on the sew
