EUROPEAN APPLE CANKER.

This disease is reported as serious
in the orchards Of Europe, and Is be-
coming widely distributed in America.
The fungus seems to be dependent
upon wounds for entrance to the host
tissue. 1t attacks the inner bark and
the rich sap, and TO some extent the
young wood. The fungus is peren-
NAL in the host. AS the new growth
develops around the wound it Is at
tackled and killed by the fungus; thus
a series Of ridges may be developed.
Two kinds Of summer spores are
produced, the first small and unicel-
lular the second sickle-shaped and
having three or more cells. The lat

RAIL FENCE PHILOSOPHY.

Only the small man fails to see the
great qualities in his neighbors.
1t is all right to Keep our eyes open
but when it is charity sometimes to
close them to the faults Of others.
Do not forget that we shall have
need Of our pastures long after the
wheat gamblers have failed.
Don't be afraid to teach the hired
man all you know about farming.
His better knowledge will be your
gain.
It is poor economy to buy cheap
binder Irvine. A single break will
cost more in time lost than a ball
that cost twice as much as the cheap
stuff.
We cannot all own everything for
running our work but we need not
become common nuisance by being
q common borrower.

SANITARY DAIRY-BARN FLOORS.

Concrete stable floors are now re-
cognized as the most economical and
sanitary for the dairy stable. They
should be laid upon good foundations
and finished with grooves to prevent
the animal slipping upon them. The
stalls should be provided with mats
of lumber so placed that they may
be frequently removed for cleansing.
All parts of the stalls which are made
Of wood, should be removable SO that
they may be readily replaced when
worn out.
