The term disease" us applied TO
plants means any change in that plant
toward reduced vigor from the ordi-
nary or average behavior. When a
plant shows any deviation from the
regular behavior of that plant in re-
spect TO appearance. growth, color Of
bark, foliage, fruitfulness, time Of
dropping leaves or length of life, in
short, when the plant fails to conform
to those averages which have been
established by extended observation
for the species and variety in ques-
ton, the plant is said to be diseased"
The more usual symptoms OF dis
ease are marked by evident differ
ences in the plant. The leaves be-
come spotted, curled or discolored, or
may even drop unevenly or be marked
by decayed spots, or the branches
may blight, wilt or die, In all such
cases we have a manifest loss of vigor
and profit.
While most of these troubles or dis
eases are caused by parasitic insects
or parasitic fungi, some are caused by
variety of other agencies.
The manner of disease attack is eX-
tremely varied and the conditions set
up as a result of disease are accord
ingly Of many different kinds. We
learn to recognize disease by the
symptoms shown in the plant; thcse
symptoms will at times be readily in
terpreted and on other occasions they
will prove misleading. Nothing is
palmer than the necessity for continu-
GUS observation of growing plants if
one is to be in position to interpret
the symptoms of disease.
When the leaves of plant are at
tackled these show the direct effects;
the symptoms of parasitic leaf dis
eases are usually localized injury re-
sulting in spotting and often in brown
ing of the leaf parts.
Leaf-spot symptoms are everywhere
abundant and are really of very d.
verse origin. In any example in which
the leaf tissues are locally invaded by
a parasitic fungus we may expect evil
dent effects. In the downy mildew
troubles there may be wet-rot symp-
toms when the weather is moist, as in
the case of late blight attacking po-
tato or tomato leaves; after the leaves
have become badly diseased they may
appear to die very suddenly because

or sucking insects also open the way
for the entrance of parasitic diseases
Leaf-spot of tomatoes Is an outdoor
trouble. 1t may be successfully pre-
vented by about three thorough spray
ings with Bordeaux mixture.
Currant leaf-spot causes immature
dropping of the foliage; in some cases
the leaves drop even before the fruit
has ripened.
Bordeaux mixture is effective
against this disease, though late appli-
cations may render it necessary to
wash the fruit. For this reason spray
ing should be done very early.
The progress made in plant disease
prevention throughout the world dur
ing the period OF about 26 years which
has elapsed since the discovery Of
Bordeaux mixture in France shows
how we'll adapted that discovery was
20 the needs of the times.
The progress made in recent years
in the study and control of plant dis
eases has been made possible by the
agencies recently developed in the
United States in the agricultural col
leges, the agricultural experiment sta
tons and the United States depart
ment of agriculture. 1t is not expect
ed that this advance in our knowledge
of the diseases of plants or of the
methods of disease control will soon
wane.

the gradual invasion of the area has
been overlooked. In many other leaf
diseases no such rapid multiplication
or reproduction Of the parasite is pos
sible and limited dead patches or
spots are the result. The leaf-spot dis.
case of alfalfa, the various leaf-spots
of apple and the conspicuous leaf-spot
OF the strawberry, the beet. the pea,
ETC.. will be recalled. In these, while
the leaves are impaired as to useful
ness, they do not perish Immediately
and one may readily fail to estimate
the injury at its seriousness. In O few
leaf troubles we have the spotting of

CAVALIER OF THE DESERT
With a Good Horse and Good Voice Life Was Sweet to All of the
 Sons of Freedom.

Ali was a son of the sheik, and wan a handsome young cavalier, although the desert sun had burned him all most as black as a negro. His costume was that of regular Turk ish soldier-a dirty blue coat with tarnished brass buttons, dirtier blue trousers just short enough to show a considerable amount of dirty brown ankle above the dirty yellow slippers. But, as a free son of the desert Ali refused to wear the fez of Turkish supremacy, and bound his flowing kaf- uyyeh with the horsehair ring of the Arabs. A long scimitar, inland with silver and gold, clattered bravely against the saddle-bags, and a rain bow-hued sash was stuck full of an- tique pistols and short, sharp knives.
 There was nothing servile or shod- dy, however, about Sheik Ais bear ing; no false regrets for the boule- wards and buses of an effete civiliza- tion; but a supreme content with life as Allah had ordered it. Ali had two chief assets: 8 good horse and a good voice.
 The former he rode at breakreck pace, with his accoutrements rattling like the pans of a runaway peddler. Once in a while. however, Ali would graciously wait for the carriage and, after inquiring anxiously concerning our distinguished healths, would can ter along with us for few rods, sing ing to himself in 8 pathetic minor key.
 They were no hackneyed music hall ditties that he sang, for every Arab is a poet and an improvisator. A mo ment of intense, frowning thought, and then Ali would raise his head and gurgle out a new distich of Arabic gutturals. He sang of the speed of his horse and of the barley in the khan at Jericho; he sang of the beau tiful weather-it would have been about hundred in the shade, If there had been any shade-he sang of the magnificent shonorableness of the Eng lezee gentlemen; and especially he praised the immense oakrsheesh which the generous travellers would surely bestow at the end of his jour ney.-Lewis Gaston Leary in Scrib- ner's Magazine.

This would save him the ter rible worry of choosing something suitable, and the bride and bridegroom the hypocrisy of being grateful for articles they would rather have been without Shopkeepers would no long CT be called upon to supply wares which appear to cost more than they do, and affection and incomes would cease to be estimated by the value of the gifts they produce, since the lat ter would be anonymous.

Remarkable Escape.

A Simple, but Satisfactory, Hoshouse.

spray the upper part of a hog and leave the under side untouched, be- cause every iouse will multiply and soon spread all over the animals body.
 After the hogs have been dipped or sprayed they should. be turned into a clean lot that has never been used for hogs and the old quarters should be abandoned, or if this is not practic- able, every particle of bedding and litter in the yards must be raked, swept up and burned, and every foot of ground in the yards and the fence and sleeping quarters. as well, thor oughly sprayed with a strong disin- fectant.
 Kerosene emulsion, which is cheap. can be used in this way to advantage.
 The hogs should not be returned to the old quarters for several weeks, and second spraying or even a third be- fore the hogs are turned in is ad- visable.
 If the hogs are allowed to occupy the same pens and sleeping quarters year after year, which are not ire quently cleaned and sprayed as above suggested, lice will surely get into the herd.
 As this parasite multiplies with tre- mendous rapidity it only takes short time to thoroughly infest hogs so that their thrift will be impeded.
 The hog 1ouse affects no other ami nal. but devotes his entire time and attention to the swine. While he is quite tenacious in the efforts to live, still a moderate application of dips and sprays and the burning of old bedding and whitewashing of the in- teriors of sleeping quarters will quick ly put him out of business.

Nile and Lake oneo Connected.

MIC ana Ldk0 OnCS OCnn9CI90s
 Geologists are not confined to the testimony of fossils in ascertainin9 the changes that have taken place on the earth's surface; sometimes living animals are equally good as evidence. In the center of the vast and almost unexplored part of Africa south of the Sahara lies Lake Chad, which just now is the goal of many scientific ex- petitions. In several parts of this lake there have been found specimens of fresh water shrimp of variety found nowhere else except in the Nile. Seeds may be carried by birds for long dis tances, but the eggs of this shrimp are too fragile for this. The conclu- sion is that there must at some time, not too far away as geologists reckon. have been a junction between Lake Chad and the Nile or at least that the two must have been close enough so that in time of flood the waters min gled. Now they are separate by many hundreds of miles of desert. This has been imperfectly explored, but 1t is known that for a thousand miles or more to the east of the lake there ex- tends series of depressions that might easily be the bed of an ancient arm of the lake. This region is almost fiat, and the lake even now has a habit of shrinking for miles from it's banks during the dry season. Pos sibly engineers of the future may re open the old course.
