T110 ISOW growths which develop from the ground should be pinched back to about two feet, The 'slain thing to do, however, is to prune out the old canes which have juet borne fruit. These canes, which developed last year, and fruited this season, beve ethished their usefulness, and should Ise destroyed, that room may be avail - Ole for the new ahoots. Old canes' are not only in the way of the oew ones which are developing, but frequently they are the source of infection of the new canes by both insect and disease troubles. The prune ings should at arose be burned. During July a close watch should be kept for wilted tape of the raspbeeries. When carefully examined, these wilted tip* may be found to 'moo two rowof punctures about ate inch or two apart completely circling tile shoot a few inches below the top. When these signs are discovered it is important to cut'all suck a few inches below the Points of the punctures and burn, vehieh will greatly assist in the con- trol of the raspberry care -borer. The °tenure of both the red rasp- berry and the blackberry should be _kept up vigorously during Jabs and halgust to destroy the new shoots which come up between the rows; and 'to thin out the ones in the rows.

Thorough spraying Is essential, especially where the grapes have rotted kadly, to insure the growth of good -fruits. kor spretylag,,Bordeaux mixture,to wbicli arsenate of lead is added, should be employed for the first three or.four eamlicatIons. But the spraying made atesiree tlee grapes are almost grown should be with burgundy mix- • • tore. Thisemiatures colnposeid of two pound'. copper •-sulphate, taree pounds sodium earbenate and 100 gal- lons of water. The copper sulphate should beelleasolved in one vessel, and the. scallumecarbonate in another, and both dila-fad' before mixing. Tien stir into a third vessel In the smile way as making bordeaux mixture. Insect poisOns should not be added to this mixture. It is applied to prevent further infections of the grape dis- ease. It. ia the custom of some grape growers to cut off the grape shoots which have developed and formed a dense growth above the grapes to leit In the sun. SOMG authorities, how- ever, claim that •observations have shown that gropedwill ripen as well or better, even though heavily 'shaded, than when exposed to thelight of the sun. Anther proof, too, is in bagging of grapes. Bagging produces fancier bunches of more perfect grapes than when left uobagged. All light is ex- duded when bagging, and yet tho color is most perfect In the bags. Luther Sutton says the shoots evbie,h have developed several feet in length have used much energy and haye stored it for future use. Not only that, but during the last few weelts of their growing season they are storing it most. ranidly, To destroy them is like burning down one section of a factory—it reduces the output. If summer pruning is to be practised at all, it should be done be- fore the shoots have made suet growth. Pinching off the tip of a shoot is not so devitaltaing as trim- ming back four or five feet. FARM NEWS AND VIEWS. The man who puts on the market in- ferior fruit does aa injury to both hitta self and the fruit business Fruit can be toe large for the market, but it seldom is. Thinnin'g is the only recipe for large, .plump, high-eolored, Juicy fruit. Nobody wants undersized or anis-shapes) fruit. A crate of little peaches never brings as much as a crate a big ones. So it pays to re- duce the number of crates by thin- ning, if the quality is thereby mach improved, Often, hewever, there will be just as many crates as there 'would have been if no thinning had been done. Sometimes there will actually be more. The large fruits ttre more cheaply picked, packed and handled. .Thianing mace the fertility of the or- chard. Not very much fertility is taken away in the pulp, but the teeds draw heavily an it. In other words, the man who thins takes off more good fruit gets more money, and removes less fertility from the orehard.

The Monster is a Victim of His Own Greedy Appetite. The python's weak point is its stom- ach; At is a glutton. Not satisfied math a full supper, it will start at once on next week's breakfast if by chance that future meal happens to be within easy reach. A python generally lives In a hole ln the ground ot a hollow in a tree, but if it can find an Old ruin in the jungle —and there are many old ruins in In- dict—it likes to take up its sleeping quarters :there, because even "in the heaviest raids the water runs off the ruins quickly, whereas a hole in the ground is likely to be flooded. The python needs to eat only once a week, and to get that meal it lies flat along the bough of a tree near a stream and waits for its prey to come to drink. When thee natates see the long trail that the python's body makes near the bank and find a heap of ruins near by they Make a hole in the ruined wall just exactly big enough for the python to get through. They they tie a pig to a stake near the hole MI one side of the wall, ante on the other side of the wall opposite the hole they tie another pig to a stake. They also tie a. wire t othe leg or the tail of the near side pig,and as evening draws on they twist it from a distance, and the pig squeals. As the python comes home to bed it hears the squeals. Se the python -comes along merrily and seizes its supper at a single bite. Down goes the pig into the big snake's throat, sucked in slowly by sheer mus- cular action. In about half an hour the pig has passed completely down the long neck, and in another half hour it is down a eouple of yards far. ther into the python's stomach, • Most animals would go to sleep right away after a gorge like that. But meanwhile the second pig on the other side of the wall has realized its unhap- py brother's woeful fate and has set up a most distressing noise. The py- thon puts its head through the hole and sees it. "Ah!" it says to itself, "Here's my next week's breakfast." And instead of waiting for next week to come that greedy python swat - Iowa the second pig too. The wily na- ttves wait until the seeond pig is well on Its way down the python's body; they they have the snake taught. Pig No. 1 prevents it from advancing, and pig No. '2 prevents it from retreating. The natives lasso t'ne python around the neck, break down the wall and pass a toil of rope between the two Ittireps of pig before they can atnalga- mate.

This was first introduced into Europe by the Moors, -also about the twelfth century. They held a great part of Spain in those dem and the industry quickly' grew. It was good paper, "cloth parchment" it Is styled in the laws of Alfonso of 1263, and well styled, for it was stout of substance, and could withstand hard use. At Xativa, Valencia and Toledo the indhstry grew and floule: !shed until the fall of the Moorish 'Power. And then came a change. The Christian conquerors were less skilled, and the great industry deteriorated, both as to quantity and quality. Mean- while, howaver, the Arabs had brought their knowledge of the craft with them when they invaded Sicily. - The oldest known document on paper is a deed of King Roger of SMUT, bearing the date 1102, From Sicily paper making ultimately spread to Italy, and there it became a great in- dustry. From Italy it extended to • France and Germany. In 1297 Pace de Fabriana was maltin'g paper in Italy- from rags and flax, and, a short time afterwords, regilar mills appear- ed in Padua and Treviso.

BUt not oee of the most acunirabie teneers In Paris seemed disposed to tackle hinn and he did' not trouble any of them. Louise d'Alger declared that any means 02 getting rid of the Scourge, as be was called, would be excusable and won- dered whysome man did not ate.b him In the back. She wee told that one who would do that would be regarded as murderer. But, *he replied., "he commit* mar - der all tho evelle." "True but there is no law to punish him Should any one stab him In the back the person doing so would fall un- der the ban of the statute covering mur- der. Besides, he would be ostracised by his friend," There ;mimed no justice, but great injustice, in this to Mlle, d'Alger, and she could not divert her mind from a feeling that such an enormity was suf- fered to exist merely by opinion. She brooded upon it till is seemed to tier that she must do soznething to stop the Scourge's murders, Just as Charlotte Cor- day at a later period rid France or Marat. Milo. d'Alger possessed a fortune and, though she was not noble, held a 'high position in Paris society. One day, the elite received invitations to a ball to be given by her. What was the Scourge's surprise to receive an invitation. X -Ie was not accustomed to receiving invita- tions unless he dropped a hint to scone man of the family about to entertain that he would like one, Then the bid was forthcoming, for a refusal would be regarded as an insult and would cost a life. The Scourge was much flatter- ed, at receiving Mile, d'Alger's tion without any actioa on his own part, Then, too, he inferred that possibly she had fallen in love with bine When he appeared among Mlle. &Al - gees guests every one was astonished. The hostess had no man relative through whom he might have forced an invitation, and it was not to be expected that she eveuld invite him of her own free -will, All eyes were turned upon her when the. duelist on entering the ballroom stepped up to her to make the formai greeting due the hostess, and every one marveled at her cerdiat reception of him. The Scourge was beside himeelf with Pride and arrogance at having been in- vited to the house of a lady of prom- ivence in face of the prejudice, as be celled it, of all Paris. The first few dances he chose for partners some lady who had a brother, well knowing that she would not dare refuse him, Later he made his bow to the hostess. She smiled upon him graciously and took position on the floor beside him. Every eye was turned upon tire cou- ple. Mlle, d'Alger's views with regard to dueling were well known, and no one know of any way by which he could foree such cordial treatment. Could it be that she had been fascinated by this man on account of the power he pos- sessed through his sword? - When in the donee the Scourge ttok his partner's hand in his he felt some- thing prick his finger. lie paid no at- tention to it. Indeed, he could not well do so under the circumstances. Then he was seen to stagger and raise his hp.nd to his head. Instead of conducting his pattner to another locality in the room he tottered away by himself but before he had gone a few steps sank down upon the floor. A circle formed about- him, all wondeting what could have happened to him. Mlle. d'Alger calledfor lackeys and directed them to carry out the fallen man .who was already dead. Then turn - !nit to her guests said: last not this episode interfere with yr r r amusement." She gave a sign to the ratzsielans, who 'played another dance. No investigation was made as to the Mame of the death of a man that all Paris bated and feared. On one of his fingers something Like a pin prick was notioed, from which had exude'] a drop of blood, It was known that his part- ner wore a ring on the hand he elapsed, the setting of which was turned inward.

Why is it that you can always tell a story written by a man from one writ- ten by a woman? I saw the thing put' to a rather severe test within the last month, with reedits that were star- tling. Ten men and women, all of whom do considerable novel reading, had had dinner together. One of the men asked the question I put at the top of these paragraphs. He was in his own home and went -to some trouble to prove that the sex of authors is an easy thing to determine. Giving to each of the nine others a pencil and piece of paper, the host pro- ceeded to read extracts from twenty different books and magazines, select- ing parts in which proper names would not identify the story. As he read each person wrote down his guess as to wh.ether the tattiesr was a man or a woman, Of the 180 answers made by the nine persons to 'the twent3t tests all but eight were correct. As he kept the books from which he read con- cealed it was imposeible to get tad With the eye, tut, although everybody guessed right almost every time, no One could still give a good definition of the conundrum.

Whom chkatena do not groW PrOperly at from three to five months there is something wrong Nt•ith their vitality or their beeline' and management, When even tee and otherwiee properly managed chickens do not always make satisfactory snwth in summer. There la a cauae for this which may bo whellY unsuspectee. It ie likely to be clue to the presence, of e,hieken miters. This pent in a blood sucking parasite. it harbors under the perches, in cracke and in other places. Ito destructive *work is done at night. When the Gillette eng are at roost the inites crawl Profit their hiding places onto the birds. TheY gorge themselves with blood much the same as a mosquito does, and then crane back to their hiding places. If this pest is not discovered it multiplies into mil- lions itt a few weeks of hot weath- er. If the initea become numerous they will suck more blood from a chicken in a single night than the chicken can pro- duce the next day from the digestion and assimilation 02 the most nourishing food. Bering the summer every precaution should be taken to keep the pens and mating places free troll' mites, Thie is not a difficult matter. The mite is a Very small parasite, barely perceptible With the unaided eye, When not gorged 'with chickeh blood it is light colored. It becomes red when it hies gorged itself With chicken blood. Por this reason it la sometimes galled the "red" mite. But this pest is so delicately constructed that It can evilly be destroyed by spraying with kerosene or •whitowash. In caring for my own chickens I take spccial pains to keep clown the mites. All perches are regularly examined and then brushed with kerosene when their presence is discovered. They gather itt clusters of a few mites or perhaps hun- dreds. They can then be reedily seen. The sides of the pens aro also sprayed with hot or cold evhitowash. Naturally hot whitewash is More effective In de- stroying the mites. It is poor policy to let older fowls and growing ohickens run together o,nd should De avoided as much as possible. On smell plants it is a good practice to use the scratching pens for accommo- dating the growing chickens. I always do sO every summer. A temporary base- board, with a four -foot wire netting on -top, is used to divide the scratching pen into two parts. One part is utilized for roosting place, the other part is used ,xs a feeding place. This ttrrangement keeps the younger chickens from the fowls. By so doing the young birds can get all the feed they require for proper growth and development. When the chickens are old enough. to hold their own with the older fowls the scratching pens may be cleaned and made ready for winter wore. Correct feeding is very important in( summer. In hot weather chickens should not be overfed. At the same time they require plenty of the right kinds a feed, It may be of some service to • give my own method of handling grOwing chick - Early in the morning eh° chickens are given a email quantity of scratch feed.

If too much mash is given, and It is not eaten ue clean, it is ant to sour in hot weather, and this would be like. ly to produce bowel trouble.

If this cannot be had -the pens should be well provided with shade. Fresh water should be given at least three times a day. It is advisable to add a little bicarbonate of soda to the water in eununer. This has a teneleney to counteract any acidity in the trete which is likely to occur If growing chick- ens are overfed. It is bettor to teed more sparingly on hot days than at other times. The poultry keeper shotild watola the weather.

What are we doing in Hamil- ton? — The greateet enemy of the forest is and always has been fire, says Con- servation. It has been estimated that the average annual forest fire loss in this country is sufficient to pay the in- terest on the recent Dominioo loan of $100,000,000. Should the Deutschland tarry any goods for Germany from the States, the Germans caii no longer coMPlaill of the Allies getting goods from her. United States trade is open to all. Ger- many can get all she wants. But can she get it home? That is the trouble, and that is no concern of the States. The next DOMinion war loan will be Issued some time in September next. It may be for $75,000,000 or $100,000,- 000. It is expected that the people will be wanting to invest in ihts loan. BY doing so they will do their bit to help in the war. The loan is abeolutely safe and no doubt will be made quite attractive. ' During the first five months oe mg, the fire loss in Canada has exceeded that of January to May, 1915, by ap- proximately $3,000,000, or $600,000 per month, says Conservation. At this rate of increase our fire loss will exceed that of 1915 by $7,200,000. This is a great tax upon the people, due in great degree to carelessness. -41* When Mrs. Nellie McClung gets el- ected to the Legislature will she be named "the hon. lady" or "the hon- orable woman"? 4- • * The United States is getting too much gold.
