ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup of Figs
and Elixir OF Scnna rs the only remedy OF
known value, but one of many reasons
why it is the best OF personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
swcetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debiltating
after effects and without having to increase
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as laxative, and its component

physicians, as it is free from all objection

effects always purchase the genuine

The apple disease known as bitter
rot occurs in very destructive form
throughout the Piedmont and eastern
sections Of North Carolina, though 1t
lis possibly less destructive further
west. In a recent trip through the
middle of the State, the writer saw
dozens of orchards ruined by this rot
which, but for the presence OF the
rot, would have yielded largely. In
many of the orchards visited, the
trees were in fine condition, showing
suitability of soil and climate, and
they bore an abundance Of fruit, but
closer examination showed that the
ground under the trees was COM
pletely covered with rotten apples
and that the apples still on the trees
had numerous specks of soft, brown
rot. In many villages and towns all
apples offered for sale in stores were
affected with this rot.
This rot has been known in de-
structive form in the United States
since 1867. 1t is estimated to have
done S1,5OO,O00 Of damage in four
counties in illinois in 1900. In the
Middle States the losses are estimated
to be from one-half to three-fourths
of the entire crop. The president OF
the National Apple Shippers Associa-
tior estimated the damage in the
United States in 1900 at s1O,000,O0O.
There are many different types OF
apple rot; some are hard, some are
soft, some wet, some dry, some of one
color and some another, etc. The bit
ter rot of the apple, sometimes called
the ripe rot, is soft, wet, yellow rot,
occurring usually as circular spots on
the fruit. These spots, of which there
may be from one to twenty or more
on each apple, enlarge rapidly, run
together, and the whole fruit becomes
soft, rotten mass. The disease US
ually begins while the fruit is still
hanging on the tree, and as the dis
ease progresses, many Of the apples
fall to tire ground below.
This rot is caused by a fungus,
known as Gloeosporium, the spores Of
which fall upon the apple, grow, pene-
trate it, and cause the decay. The
spores are produced in immense guam
titles in small pustules, which appear
upon the rotted surface. In many in
stances the fungus passes the winter
in cankered spots on the twigs and
bark.
There are two forms of treatment,
both OF which should be followed.
First, inasmuch as the fungus is
known to winter in the canker on the
branches, it is very important, when
the leaves are of the trees, to care
fully inspect the orchard, hunt out
these cankers, cut them out and burn
them, and thus remove the most dan
gerous source of spring infection.
Second, the trees should be sprayed
with Bordeaux mixture in order to
kill all spores which fall upon the
fruit or twigs. Sprayings should be
applied before the buds begin to swell
in the spring, just after the blossoms
fall, and every ten or fourteen days
thereafter until the fruit is almost
ripe.
These two treatments combined
will, to very large extent. serve to
control this very serious disease

Trust in the Lord.

Sometimes men are dissatisfied
with their work and with the posit-
ion they occupy. They think they
are not appreciated, and that they
are competent to fill what they re-
gard as much more important posit-
ions. This may sometimes be true;
but if such persons are faithful in
the positions they occupy, their
worth will be recognized, and they
will be called to such positions as
they are found competent to fill. But
man of real worth may be success
full in one positions, to which he is
adapted, while he would be a total
failure in another to which his tai
ents are not suited: Men are not al
ways the best judges of their own
abilities, or of the positions which
they are best qualified to fill. 1t is
always better for the place to seek
the man than for the man to seek
the place. Modesty is generally an
evidence of worth, while presump-
ton is almost invariably an evidence
of shallowness or unreliability. IT
man has but small field, let him
cultivate it we'll; when it becomes too
small for him others will perceive
it.; and he will be called to more ex-
tensive labors. A man who is al
ways laboring to do good will sue
ceed; while a man who is always
seeking for place will fail.
1 If one believes that he is in God IS
hands and engaged in Gods work,
why should he not so commit himself
to Gods will as to allow God to put
him forward. Does he fear that God
may neglect him and allow some one
to supplant him? This is most un-
worthy view of God, and ought never
to be entertained by one who believes
himself called of God and living IN
communion with Him. The meek are
to inherit the earth, according to the
Saviour's teaching, and he illustrat-
ed it in his own life. fCommit thy
way to him and he shall bring it
to pass" says one whose experience
taught him lessons by which we may
profit" (" The trouble with most per
sons is, they want to choose their
own way and are unwilling that God
should lead them.-Methodist he
