BITTER ROT OF APPLES.
Proper Spraying with Bordeaux Mix
ture viii Save Crop.

AS the result of experiments con-
Quoted by the Illinois station, the fol-
lowing conclusions have been reached
regarding bitter rot of apples and it's
treatment:
Bordeaux mixture properly made
and applied will save over 80 per cent.
of the fruit liable to attack by bitter
rot.
Fruit sprayed in such manner as
to be thoroughly coated with the
spray mixture when the first infec-
tion OF the disease appears will be in
jured least by bitter rot.
Spraying until the fruit Is complete
~ coated with the mixture as soon
as the first infection of bitter rot is
discovered is Of considerable value but
is much less effective than the treat
ment mentioned above.
Spraying until the fruit is complete
ly coated with the mixture after bit
ter rot has become thoroughly estab-
lished is effective in, controlling as
much as 80 per cent of the disease
during some seasons. In other season
its effect as a remedy is very slight.
Bordeaux mixture applied in the
liquid form is the most effective spray
ing material for the control of apple
bitter rot.
Pure copper sulphate solution failed
to check the disease and caused in
jury to the foliage.
To coat fruit thoroughly with the
mixture 1t is necessary TO make at
least three applications of the spray
material.
Applications of 25 pounds OF salt to
the ground about tree have no value
in checking the disease.-W. Paddock.

khedive Bought Wife for s4oo.

Abbas H.. khedive OF Egypt, is one
of the most progressive and enlight-
ened OF foreign rulers. Passionately
fond Of travel, he goes about the world
with his eyes open and has introduced
many excellent reforms into the coun-
try over which he rules. Unconven-
tional TO degree, he has amused him
self and Mortified his suite by don
ming overalls and driving a railway en-.
gine.
The khedive, by the way, unlike the
sultan, has no imperial harem His
wife was a beautiful Circassian slave,
bought by his mother chiefly on ac-
count of her beauty from powerful
Turkish pacha for less than ESQ. The
Mohammedan religion permits the
khedive for wives, but Abbas H., like
his father, is content with one, and
is passionately devoted to the beauti.
full Circassisn who has borne him five
charming daughters and promising
son.

The West In the Lead.

The west as a whole is far beyond
the east in it's abatement OF the smoke
nuisance. In ST. Paul some four years
ago, the work was given over TO the
department OF health, whose first act
was to lay the following question be-
fore the local and national unions OF
steam engineers and flremen: Can
the smoke nuisance as IL exists today
be reasonably prevented without in
jury TO trade and manufacturing inter.
ests?" This question was unanimous
ly answered in the affirmative by tho
members OF both unions. Notices were
taken in all dubious cases and fines
were imposed when necessary, a min.
mum fine OF S25 for the first offense.
doubled for each succeeding one. The
work has been most successful, and
besides an abatemement of smoke, a
saving OF fuel is reported. In Milwau.
kee an ordinance which has gone
through periods of relaxation and
others OF strict enforcement, has been
euccessful when properly managed,
continues Hollis Godfrey in the Allan
tic. About half the city at the time
of recent report used smoke-con-
suming devices, about one-fourth used
hard coal or smokeless fuel. The gen
oral condition of the city was admir-
able. So admirable. indeed, that the
title OF the ordinance passed by the
common council is worth quoting in
full as an epitome of what such an
ordinance should be.

she was finished. She made her first
and her only cruise under private
ownership when she brought the body
of Ogden Goelet to this country in
1897.
When the war with Spain began the
Mayfower was bought by this govern
ment and is the largest and finest,
though not the fastest, of our convert
ed yachts. All her fine fittings were
taken out of her before she was put
into commission. but after the war
many of them were restored.
When she was built her various
rooms were finished in different woods,
but they are now uniformly covered
with white enamel. She has several
beautiful marble mantelpieces, and her
interior woodwork has some good
carvings and holdings. The former
library has been made over and Is
now transformed into two staterooms
for the use Of the president and his
wife or his guests.
The china. linen and such furnish
ings are different from those which the
vessel would receive If she were not
used by the president. But the differ
ence is only to this degree; that they
are the special linen, china, etc, pro-
vided for use by an admiral. These
are all especially made for the use of
our admirals, and display the emblem
peculiar TO that rank.
The vessel, however, is not com.
manded by an admiral. nor has any
special rank gone with its command
because of its personal use by tho
president. II has had a complement of
eight officers and 165 men, Is built of
steel, is $3.50 tons displacement, has a
speed of 16.S knots, is 273 feet long.

a great help and with them much of
the work can be done easier and
qui 'ker than with any other tool, but
few OF those found in the hardware
stores are worth much. Most of them
with only one cutting blade which
works against shoulder, will spring
apart after a little use and they bruise
the wood more or less.
The double-cut shears with both
blades alike, while high-priced are by
far the best thing on the market as
they cut close and do not bruise the
wood. The handles are of wood and
can be had from % to 80 inches long.

PRUNING.
To Do Successful Work You Need
Proper Tools.

One trouble with the novice in
pruning is that he may not have a
clear idea of what he wishes to ac-
complish. He may think that the tree
is headed too low and so chops off the
main limbs and ruins it, or, the top is
too thick and proceeds to trim up the
limbs, leaving n tuft of branches at
the ends, destroying the fruiting spurs
and leaving what fruit does grow in
accessible and exposed to the action
of heavy winds. Better to have no
pruning at all than such work as this.
The tools needed are a saw, shears,
knife, step.ladder and occasionally a
long ladder. The saw should be the
ordinary, narrow, stiff-blade pruning
saw, about IS inches long and with
rather coarse teeth so that it will cut
