The most important note In the cor
r~espondence given out tonight IL that
dated July %. which Is the British re-
spouse to the American protest OF March
81 against actions apparently conten-
plated under the orders in council just
then issued by Great Britain. This COM
munication constitutes the chief defence.

ish practices.
The other four notes consist Of two
communications from the United states
and the British replies. both Of the latter
having been written after the prepare
t.on OF the first or general British note.
On July II. as announced here at the
time, the United states filed q caveat. re-
eerving the right not TO accept any Brit
ish prize court decisions governed by
British municipal law In conflict with
international law.

legality OF the seizure. and insists on
the right OF American owners OF goods
TO bring them out OF Holland In duo

nally come from territory" held by the
enemies OF Great Britain.
In replying to these two notes the
British Government refers the United
States chiefly to her general note which
preceded. In addition. however. she de-
clares that with regard to prize court
decisions IL is TO be assume always

The next bull used was Hugorotus,
an animal with no high producing in
<dividuals in his ancestry. His daugh-
ters produced 1893 lbs. less milk than
their dams; but the percentage of fat
was much higher, making an increase
in fat amounting to IA lbs
The third bull-Lorn of Meridale-
had fine pedigree; and his daughters
increased the average production 1410
lbs Of milk and 66 lbs. of fat. The
average production of his daughters
was 1863 lbs. of milk and 287 lbs. Of
fat
The next bull was Missouri Rioter,
3rd, son Of Missouri RiOteT. His
mother was the best COW in the herd
His daughters produced $3.50 lbs. of
milk and 146 lbs. fat more than their
dams
Minette's Pedro was used after Mis-
souri, Rioter, 3rd. He was an animal
of fine breeding with many high-class
animals in his pedigree Ten of his
daughters were superior to their dams,
and ten were inferior. There was an
increase of 55 lbs. of milk and 4 lbs
of fat. This bull was holding the aver.
age Of the herd.
Brown Bessie's Registrar was the
last bull used with daughters old
enough to test. The data regarding this
bull are too limited TO draw conclu-
sions, but it is evident his daughters
are inferior. The daughters produced
1884 lbs. milk and rs lbs. fat less than
their dams
The records show the great care that
should be used in selecting a bull; and
the desirability Of keeping the bull in
the herd until the production of his
daughters is known. Missouri Rioter
was sold before his daughters began
to produce and valuable bull was lost
to the breed.

SPRAYING TREES FROM THE ROADWAY.
ing ought to be able to distinguish The
different kinds of enemies found on
the trees in winter He ought to buy
good pocket lens, costing about -
cents. and carefully study all the para
sites, scdbS and fungi he can find.
In battling with MilGew. mites
spiders and moths all infected trees
should be pruned and the dead and
decaying parts removed. All wounds
should be cleaned out and the Taking
scaling bark ought to be scrapCd away
from the trunks. Let this work pre-
cede the spraying with lime-Sulphur
All rubbish should be burned ut once.
This will expose all the ALTERNATING
pests SO the spray will reach them
easily. Every part of the tree ought
to be bathed in the film of spray even
to the tiniest twig. The best time for
applying sprays to the pests mentioned
is a short time before the buds show
signs of swelling.
Bordeaux 6-4-J0 is the spray used
most in late winter spraying when the
lime-sulphur is deemed inadequate
1t is very effective i'll dealing with an
thracnose and incipient cases of peach
leaf curl. TO be really effective the
spray should be put on at Il dry time
as fall of rain will wash off much of
the spraying material and lessen its eff
fectiveneSs.
The one pest that ought to be fought
hardest by the winter sprayer is the
San Jose scale Look for the round,
grayish and black. button shaped
bodies with Il pimple-like elevation il
the center. This elevation is about the
size of Il pin head and is often sur
rounded by Il red ring. Limesulphur
solution properly applied will kill the
San Jose scale at any date between the
falling Of the leaves and the leating
out in spring.
There are three rules that | think
every man should apply in going about
spraying. whether he is doing the work
in winter or in summer They are:
When you spray, be sure you are do
ing it at the right time.
If you don't know the reason why
you are spraying. don't spray at all.
The only way to know the reasons
for spraying is to study up on every
insect or fungus that is cauSiu@ yoa

DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF SEED
POTATOES SHOULD NOT BE
MIXED BEFORE PLANTING.

Potato growers often find their stock
mixed and are al. "a loss to account for
it. Some who have not become well
informed seem to think that the wind
or bees may effect the blossoms and
that is the way the mixture happened,
1t is only when potatoes are grown
from the actual seed which is found
in the ball-shaped pods where the bios
SONS have been, that the bees or wind
can cause any mixing. There are sew
eral ways in which mixing may oc-
cur. One is by the accidental dumping
of sack Of one variety into a pile
Of another. Another way which l be.
lieve often happens, where one is
growing the Mccormick variety is,
that there are some tubers left over in
the soil from previous digging which
perpetuate themselves and thus get
into later crop. Another chance for
mixing which is probably the least
common. although by no means rare,
is bud variation. Bud variation is con.
stantly happening in plants and the
most common form in potatoes is the
color of the skin. The White Nc
Cormick is bud variation of the older
pink-eyed variety. Now, there has ap-
peared in the White variety "sprout'
or bud variation with splashes Of
pink on the skin.
If potatoes do get mixed it is often
less trouble to separate them after they
commence TO sprout. Sprouts that have
started in the dark in some varieties
are pure white, others are yellowish
white, others have some purple in
them. A very common mixture is
Irish Cebbler and Green Mountain. The
sprouts Of Green Mountain, when
grown i'll the dark, are a clear green
ish yellow, while those Of Irish Cob
bier are white, with purplish streaks
and patches at the base.

HIRED MAN LAW.

Controversies about wages frequent
~ arise between farmers and their
hired men when the latter are dis
charged or quit work before the eXpi-
ration of the time for which they We're
employed Sometimes Il man who is
hired to do certain specified work or
work for Il certain period of time for
fixed wages quits his job without
good and sufficient reasons, and the
question then arises what compensa-
ton. if any. lie can recover by law
from his employer for the work he
has actually done There is some CON
Aict of authority in the decisions Of
the courts upon this subject, but the
weight of authority is to the effect
that in such case the hired man can
recover the value of the services
which he actually rendered, deGucting
from this amount any damages which
his employer has sustained by reason
of his failure to complete the serv-
ices which he was hired to perform.
Sickness or death Of an employee is
considered by the law to be the act
of God ana constitutes good excuse
for delay or even for nonperformance
Of contract for personal services. An
employee who is prevented by sickness
from completing services according TO
his contract can recover the actual
value Of the services which he has
performed under the contract. and if
the completion of his work is pre-
vented by his death his executor or
administrator can recover the value
Of the services actually performed by
him

The care that should be exercised in

records of the Jersey herd at the Uni

The first bull used in this herd was
Missouri Rioter, son of Bachelor Of
St Lambert-the only animal of his
pedigree known to be a strong breeder.
The average production of his daugh.
tiers was 1909 lbs of milk and IS lbs.
of fat below that of their dams.
