spray to the insects on the underside
of the leaves before the leaves cull,
This will kill the lice on any truce;
crops or ornamentals.
For maggots ons cabbage and simi-
lar crops, use earboltc acid emulsion
around the young plants. This is pre-
pared by dissolving one pound of
hard soap in one gallon of boiling
water. Add one pint of crude car-
bolic acid and churn or mix to make
a smooth emulsion. Dilute one part
to 50 parts of water. Apply plenty of
this around each plant close to the
steno Abundant fertilizer will also
help the plant to withstand the mag-
got attack. Tobacco dust is proving
to be of particular value in prevent-
ing the ravages of the cutworm.
Sprinkle a Little around each hill and
little trouble need be expected from
the. above. The dust is also valuable
ibis year as a fertilizer on account of
the 7 per cent, potash it contains.
As soon as the potatoes have reach-
ed a six-inch stand or thereabout, the
first application of Bordeaux and ar-
senate of lead should be made. This
year it is quite as cheap, with blue -
stone selling at 30 to 40 cents per
pound, to buy Bordeaux lead in paste
and prepare as direetions call for
spray, thereby Saving labor. -
Second spray to follow in about
three weeks with the same mixture
for early white potatoes need little -
other care than thorough cultivation.
Thorough cultivation will maintain a
two-inch dry soil mulch over the en-
tire patch:
MORE JUNE WORK.
Sow beans for succession. The
round -podded, stringless varieties are
best.
Melon, squash and pumpkin ; need
can be sown in the early part of June.
These can be protected from 'the
striped beetle by covering with Bor-
deaux mixture containing arsenate of
lead, and also by putting cheesecloth-
covered frames over the hills.
All plants set out can be protected
from cutworms by wrapping brown
v
b n
paper about the stems before plant-
ing. About one inch of the paper
should be in the ground and an inch
or more above it,
Turnips can be planted for a fall
crop.
Thoroughly cultivate the garden to
maintain a dust mulch to conserve
the soil moisture.
After the June drop, thin out the
young fruit on the apple, pear; peach
and plum trees.
The currant worm should be de-
stroyed by spraying the stalks with
arsenate of lead until the fruit begius
to get large, when the plants should
be dusted with hellebore.
To prevent :mildew on the gooseber-

for selling butter, we sell less than
one-half a cent's worth of soil. The
land owner who makes his money
selling the soil fertility, and in telt.. or
fifty years leaves his farm wore out,
is not a farmer, but a t=oil robber. He
holds the salve relation to the 9011 that
a timber thief aloes to our forests. The
tillers of ttesoil in the iu txo willl find
their fathers ;have not been kind to'

The cause and remedy for clover
bloat are discussed in Circular 5 of the
Kentucky Agricultural Experiment
Station. iced clover blooms eontai,•1
about 3.0 per cent. of sugar; alfalfa
blossoms, e.OS per cent.; white clover
bieesoms, 2.4 per cent, After being
eaten by stock, this sugar undergoes
rapid fermentation, and is converted
into carbon dioxide. This causes the
Mooting. The authors of ahe bulletin
stzengly recommend for acute bloat-
ing one quart of 14per cent, solution
of formalin. After this is administered
a -,soden block should be placed in
tho animal's mouth, and the animal
should, be given gentle eaerciss if :it
can stand on its feet. Formalin is a
trade name for a 40 per cent, solution
of fcrinaldellyde gas in water, and
may be obtained at any drug store for
ebout 40 cents a pint. One-half ounce
of formalin in one quart of water is
a Proper solution with which to drench
all animal.
The fattening hog should never be
Overfed, just enough so that every-
thing is eaten before the pig leaves
the trough the first time. Young piga
are best kept decidedly hungry. An
exception to this case would be where
appetites are satisfied with roughage
or water.
I''ARII NEWS AND VIEWS.
Dairying is the system of :arming
that will maintain the fertility of tine
farm without the use of high-priced
fertilizers. For two reasons, dairying
teamtaihs the fertility of the laud.
First, because in butter there is airnoat
uu plant food of value, and, 'second,
because 00 per cent. of all the grain
feeds purchased for the cow, as well as
00 per cent. of all food raised on the
farm and fed to the cow, is returned
to the farm. 'With Barnyard manure
and an occasional crop of clover, the
land will remain productive indefin-
itely. When we stop to think of it,

The Unreality of Opera.
There are people who still complain
of the unreality of opera who cannot
subject themselves to its illusion.
And indeed the illusion of opera
breaks down if everything in it is not
kept at the same distance from real-
ity. In that world of musical expres-
sion we must never be suddenly low-
ered 'by any incongruous detail into
the ordinary world of prose. Realism,
the attempt to work upon the emo-
tions by complete illusion of reality,
is disastrous in opera.. If the scene
is a railway station we remember at
once that people do net sing when
they are catching trains.—London

Chateaubrland a Lover of Cats.
IJany famous men' have loved cats --
Cardinal Richelieu and Victor Hugo
among others—but probably the ani-
mals' most eloquent defender was
Clnateaubriand, the French writer.
'•I love in the cat," he said, "that ni-
dependent and almost ungrateful- tem-
per which prevents it from attaching
itself to any one, the indifference with
which it passes from the salon to the
housetop. The cat lives alone, has no
need of society, does not obey except
when it,; likes, pretends to sleep that it
may see more clearly, and scratches
everything it can seratch."
And the great writer on another
occasion went so far as to expresn a
hcpo that by long comradeship with
cats Ile was acquiring some of their
characteristics!—London Times.

The curious art of, divination
importance of this practice in the
eyes of the, Japanese may be inferred
from the fact that the rietds .in which
the sacred rice for tate coronation
ceremony was grown were selected
through tortoise shell divination.
The divination is Cii'ected by first
worshipping a god called Uravttnoka-:
Then a tortoise shell is taken and
scraped inside until quite thins anei_
the outside surface polished. In til(7
shell aro several hollow squares -u .
each of which there is a certain site
marked in black Ink. The whole is
then baked under great heat, causlni;
cracks to appear in the surface. These
cracks are then studied in accordance
with the formulae in the divination
boort, the result, being a sort of code
message from the gods.
This is not the earliest form oi' di-
vination known in Japan. Previously
there was a kind called Fatomaui, 'tn.
which the shoulder blade of a stag
was used in place of a tortoise shell.
The tortoise shell method, which pro-
bably came from China, was consid-
ered an improvement and was prob-
ably adopted because it was some-
thing new, for, at that time the Jap-
anese were seizing upon all things
foreign.—Japanese Magazine.

Nervous • .prostration.
Mrs. Conrad Schmidt, R.R. No, 1, Milverton, Ont., writes : "Two
years ago last spring I was run down, had Nervous prostration, and
was in a terribly nervous condition. I could not sleep or eat, could
scarcely count the nights that I passed 'without sleep, and if I did
cat, had sick headaches and vomiting spells, My limbs 'would swell
so badly that it hurt me tai -walk. I would jump up ill bed, awaken-
ed by bad dreams. In fact, I was so bad, thought I could not live,
and started to use Dr. Chaso'l Nerve rood without much hope.
"It was not long before I began to improve under this treat-
ment, and I can truthfully' say it bas done me a world of good. It
took some time to get the nervous system, restored, but I kept right
on using the Nerve rood regularly, and gradually gained in health
and strength. I have a fine baby boy now, Ile weighed 12 lbs. at
birth, and, though my friends were anxious after the condition, I was
in, I got over that fine, and now `neigh 120 lbs. Before using the
Nerve rood I was a mere skeleton."

Coal Mines of Holland,
Though the coni mince of Holland
have not been developed to any great.
extent, yet it is known that extensive
beds underlie Limburg, the most.
southerly province. Strange as it may •
seem, the coal mines of Holland are
probably the most ancient, their rec-
orris showing workings near Ierltrade
as early at 1113. The pits now owned
and worked by the state were for
many centuries exploitedby monks
from tho abbey of Kloosterade,. who
continued their mining operations un-
til es late as 1785, The pits„ now
!tamed the; Wilhelmina, the Drama.
and the H'andrik, gave employment to
167 oftcials and 4,332 pit men.
Three or four met, were talking
about.lereaking bad habits and giving
their experiences.
"Did I ever master a bad habit?"
responded a very active business Man..
"I did, but I had to have some outside
assistance, though I didn't ask for It.
"Once upon a time I had the bad
habit of eating three meals a day, and
I had to have them or there was
trouble for somebody. Then my cof-
fee at breakfast must be just so or
there was trouble; the bacon must be
properly crisp or there was trouble;
the toast had to be correctly brown
or there was tremble; the eggs could
not vary from standard or there was
trouble. The other meals I was not so
super -sensitive about. But I must
have my smoke after each one. It
was trouble all around, going and com-
ing, because I suffered no less than
those about me,
"That was twenty-five years ago.
and I was in control of the situation
and insisted on having everything
exactly as 1 wanted it, It was an ex-
tremely bad habit and I didn't realize
it. Then came changed conditions,
and I was forced out into a world be-
yond my control,
"?everywhere I went I was called a
crank, and my reputation in that line
soon expanded all over, because I had
'a new' eating place about every week
or ten days. One morning, after I had
been to all the feederies within a mile
of my lodgings, a kind hearted waiter
girl in a very nice little tea room` I
had discovered came down on me like
a thousand of brick for finding fault
with the breakfast she had brought me.
"Sine said I wasn't old enough to be
senile, nor young enough to be a baby,
and looked like I might be a very ro-
spectable person it 2 were properly
trained, She was Irish,and she wasn't
afraid. Well, you know some men
would have raised a row about talk
like that from a servant to a guest,
but I didn't. It struck me as the light
struck Saul of Tarsu and I thanked
her sincerely.
".After breakfast I took Counsel with
my better nature and resolved I would
try to live up to the waiter girl's sug-
gestion. Next morning I went to the
same place for breakfast and had the
same breakfast. Breakfasts Vary, and
this wasn't really quite what it should
have been, but I ate it without a growl,
though I did want to growl. I could
see the girl was expecting the usual
manner, but 1 disappointed her.
As I left she looked at ine rather
curiously and smiled. I told her I
knew the breakfast was just a bit shy,
but I wouldn't worry, because I was
sure it would be better to -morrow,
And it was. At least I thought so.
"And thus It went for meal after
meal, at one place and another, some
good and some bad, but I had my mind
fixed kaiaks things as they canto and
1 stuek"to it, I went further, I re-
solved to give them up as they went,
and if I missed a meal or a, smoke
or my coffee I aousolod myself by
thinking the next would taste that
much better, olid 1 laughed instead of
whined.
