HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

The American plums are great
bearers.
The Japanese plums do not do well
in the northwest
Blackberries should be heavily fer
tilted or they will not do their best.
Plums must be protected from the
curculio if they are to give satisfac-
ton.
There is little satisfaction in trying
TO grow a garden on poor soil not
properly enriched.
Every farmer that has a few fruit
trees only should learn the science of
protecting them by spraying.
An apple grower says that there is
never an over-supply of good apples
The over-supply is of poor fruit.
In pruning the grape, il is neces-
sary to have a good deal of technical
knowledge. Pruning too much will
prevent fruit production on account
of removing the wood that should bear
the fruit; while pruning too little will
allow a large development of vines
at the expense of fruit

BITTER ROT OF APPLES.
Proper Spraying with Bordeaux Mix
ture Will 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 a manner as
to be thoroughly coated with the
spray mixture when the first infec-
ton of the disease appears will be in
jursd least by bitter rot
Spraying until the fruit is complete
ly 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 90 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 it is necessary to make at
least three applications of the spray
material.
Applications of 20 pounds of salt to
the ground about tree have no value
in checking the disease.-W. Paddock

TAKES ROMANCE FROM TEARS.
Weapon of the Heroine Coolly Ana
lyzed by French Chemist

One does not care to have ones
tears analysed like a patent food or
medicine, and to associate them with
chemical substances, but we are moth
ing If not practical nowadays. and
every shred of romance, poetry and
sentiment is remorselessly wrenched
from us for scientific purposes.
A French journal devoted to mat
tiers of this kind has been telling us,
not only of what tears are composed.
but exactly the effect that is produced
on brain and body when We shed
them.
So henceforth when we read that
the heroine's beautiful eyes were suf.
fused with tears" that lin a moment
she was weeping passionately on his
shoulder" we shall know that by a
kind of shower-bath arrangement a
mixture of albuminoid, water and
chemical substances was let loose at
the back of her skull, thus dulling the
nerve centers, and really giving her re-
lief.
However, it does not sound roman
tic, and mere man is likely to imagine
that the fair one is really suffering
doubly when all this happens.-Gentle-
woman.

Character Molds the Face.

1t is not in words applicable with
what divine lines and lights the eXer-
else of godliness and charity will mold
and gild the hardest and coolest coun-
tenance, neither to what darkness
their departure will consign the love-
lest. For there is not any virtue the
exercise of which, even momentarily,
will not impress a new fairness upon
the features; neither on them only.
but on the whole body the moral and
intellectual faculties have operation,
for all the movements and gestures,
however slight, are different in their
modes according 10 the mind that gov.
ems them-and on the gentleness and
decision of right feeling follows grace
Of actions. and, through continuance Of
this, grace Of fOrm.-JOhn. Ruskin.

4zd provlted for Pets.

Francois Corpee. the French author,
Ike many artists and actors, was ex-
ceedingly fond Of cats, and for years
he had in his house n Paris and in the
beautiful rose garden back of the
house a number OF fine specimens, in
Guiding several valuable natives Of
Persia. When Coppee died, to be fol-
lowed soon by his devoted sister, who
was his nurse, the Paris Animal Pro-
tective society felt called upon to look
for the cats, which were supposed to
have been left in the deserted Coppee
home @ starve Investigation showed,
however, that the master had antici-
pated the end. He had given all his
pets to friends.

freely. The right kind of shears are
a great help and with them much OF
the work can be done easier and
quicker 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 a shoulder, will spring
apart after 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 Is to 30 inches long.
For knife, the common large pruning
knife with a hooked blade is all right.

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
toe. thick and proceeds to trim up the
limbs, leaving a 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, stepladder 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

A western judge decides that Adam
and Eve were married under the COM

there were no with csses. The veneer
