To Control Gray Rot.

For the prevention of gray rot of
grapes one investigator recommends a
treatment which he claims is very sim
pie and efficient. This consists of thin
ming the leaves on the north side Of
the vines and spraying with Bordeaux
mixture, to which soap is added to
make it more adherent. The treatment
should be made about July %, or at the
stage when the grapes have just about
reached their full size. If the fungi
eide is thoroughly applied at this time
no further trouble may be Anticipated
from this disease.

Better Not Change the Dippers.

Wine 1900 Years Old.

Bottles of wine 1900 years old have
been found in sarcophagus dating from
the first century of the Christian era in
a graveyard at Bordeaux. That is to
say the bottles had once contained wine,
for according to the workmen who dis
covered them they were completely dried
up inside when uncorked. A chemist,
without suspecting the workmen of hav-
ing dried the contents up themselves,
analysed deposit at the bottom of the
bottles and pronounced it to be the resi-
due of what had originally been very
good wine. 1t appears to have been so
good that the owner 1900 years ago de-
cided to be buried with it.-Paris Cor.

A heav! draft horse should be long

necessary elements of which it has
been robbed means the same in New
York, Kansas, Virginia or anywhere
else. Every farm plant, to prosper,
must find in the soil, readily available,
the elements needed for its develop

crops he should either supply the de-
ficiency or not attempt their raising.
This is true of corn or wheat, cotton
or tobacco, no less than alfalfa.

Wide Wagon Tires,

AS to the desirability of the use of
the wide tires there can be no ques-
ton. The most casual observation
will suffice to convince any one of the
damage which heavily laden wagon,
equipped with the ordinary sharp,
rounded, narrow tires, will produce on
any road. There is also another, and
perhaps even greater advantage to be
gained by the use of the wide tires
viz, the increased hauling capacity

1t should be recorded as an historical
fact that Vermont was the pioneer state
in leading the movement for the estab-
lishment Of a national department OF ag-
riculture. In the early days Of the re-
public Washington recommended a home
department of agriculture" but nothing
came of the recommendation, and the pro-
ject apparently slumbered more than half
a century In 1s49 the late Frederick
Holbrook of Brattleboro, who was gov
ernor in 1s61-62, laid the subject Of such
a department before the Vermont legis-
lature. and the result was the adoption OF
an extended report, reviewing the scheme
intelligently and closing with a series OF
resolutions in which the general assembly
recommended the establishment OF the
new department and requested the gov
ernor to transmit the report to the Pres
ident, secretary of the interior, the gov
ernors of each state and all the senators
and representatives in Congress. The
members of Congress were urged TO Sc
cure the speedy establishment Of the bu-
reau of agriculture on firm and perma-
nent basis.

Big Decline In Exports Of Foodstuffs.

Statistics compiled by the department of
commerce tell the story of the recent
decline in the exports of foodstuffs from
the United States. In the ten months
ending with April we sold abroad, as
compared with the corresponding period
of last year, only two-thirds the volume
of wheat and nearly 3OOO,OOO bushels less
corn. OF meat and dairy products we
exported only 100000 worth as against
123,14O,OOO and Of cattle hogs and sheep,
only S11,5S0,000, as compared with SIS. 49,
900. The decline on the exports of cotton
was still more striking. having been
2,s99 900, 900 pounds in the last ten months,
as against A,O66 100000 pounds in the ten
months of the previous year In the last
case the value of cotton exported was
greater because of the higher price at
which It was held. These figures indicate
the extent to which the United States
is ceasing to be a great food granary
for the rest of the world, and suggest
the inevitable changes that are taking
place in our commercial relations to for
eign markets. Such changes will involve
serious readjustments al home, but
whether we shall begin to,import food or
proceed to raise more by the adoption Of
methods of intensive farming is one of
the Developments Of the future as to
which the prophets are not agreed.
