Blc,ok-$not on. Plums,
Professor J. Hayes Panton, of the Agri-
cultural College at Guelph, writes t In a
late bulletin issued from the Bureau of
Industries my attention was called to the
fact that the black -knot upon plum trees is
t: eryrevalent and appears to be spreading
rapidly. This is easily accounted for when
we understand the nature of the plant that
causes it, and remember how little is done
to check its progress by those -upon whose
trees it appears. The writer has on several
occasions at Farmers' Institutes referred
to this trouble and endeavored to show the
necessity of united action being taken to
extirpate it, or at least to some extent les -
se distribution.

information regarding the, cause and nature n
of this trouble to a large umber of readers
this bulletin is written.
An examination of the knot in its earliest
stages shows innumeiablesmall, transparent
threads, only seen by aid of a microscope.
They branch among the cells which compose
the tissue of the inner bark of the tree, and
form the so-called mycelium or vegetable
part of the fungus. The threads become very
intricately twisted together in brindles as
development proceeds, 'beginning in the
gra vinglayer of the kirk and radiating ont-
w;ards. As spring advances, the threads in-
crease and reach a more Matured condition.
As growth proceeds, the knot assumes a
velvety appearance; this is the result of the
threadlike structures sending ail many joint-
ed filaments, on the ends of which are borne
egg-shaped spores known as conidfosLlsires.
These are "very small, re airing the aid of a
microscope to see them, AN hen ripe they
are readily disturbed, may be blown by the
wind and thus reach new starting points so
as to give rise to knots similar to that upon'
which they are developed, This mode of
reproduetton in the "knot" continues till
the summer is well advanced, (alien another
class of spares begin to develop, which reach
maturity about February. The surface of the
knot (luring winter shows spores that can be
seen by the naked eye; these open into cavi-
ties, ou the walls of which are two kinds of
structures, one consisting of slender fila-
merits (paraphyses) the use of which is not
known ; the other elub-shaped (asci). In
the asel towai ds the close of winter aseopores
are developed, usually eight in each ascus,
out of which the spores come through an
opening at the end ; these spores become new
starting paints for the parisitie plant, when
they reach proper couditione fer develop -
mut. Other cavities are also found among
those with the abet; these etlntain very
minute oval spores divided by cross parti-
tions into three parts, and borne on slender
stalks, The. e are called stylospores, the
use of which isnot known, but they aregen-
crally believed to be concerned in the pnr-
petuation ofthesjleeies. Stili othoreavitics
exist containing s.endtrfilaments (spermatia)
which also seem to be concerned In repro-
durtidn. Ilesitles the eavities referred to,
sometimes spaces more flatten( d than these
and in some eases showing a triangular form
appear ; they are lined with short, delicate
filaments that end in a minute oval body.
These bodies are produced iu great numbers
and are discharged in masses, being held to-
gether by a sort of jelly. They have been
called pycnidiosprres, and also scent to be
connected with the perpetuation of the
fungus.
The remedies are:—
(I) Hitherto most Orchardists have found
the best thing to do is to cut off affected limbs
and destroy them. Where a tree is badly
attacked, destroy the whole tree.
ith o ne eaperilnente in applying linseed
oil to the ltnot; have been effective. This
is dune three or four times during the sum-
mer as soon as the knots appear.
(31 Coal oil may be used, hut it must be
applied carefully. If it runs over the branch
it will kill it.
(4) Wild choke -cherry trees near orchards
should be destroyed. It is unfortunate that
so little regard is paid to the law which re-
quires affected trees to be destroyed. These
trees aro scattering millions of spores yearly
and thus spreading. the disease to all parts
of the Province. Iliighted trees stand as
monuments of the indificrcuce and ignorance
of those who should co-operate in fighting
against a common foe.
Whea to Cut Timber .
The exact time at which timber should be
felled for durability is one of the things each
man can best find out for himself. Tho qual-
ity of timber depends greatly on the treat-
ment it receives after felling and the use to
which it is put. It is quite generally admit-
ted that timber trees should not be cut when
filled with sap, and the usual custom is to
do it in the dormant season, but whether
early or late in winter is not well determin-
ed, and most people choose the time without
much regard to fall or winter. A correspon-
dent of the New York World says
" Where the timber is to lie exposed and un-
seasoned in the long winter climate of the
north, I prefer Marcie to December. For the
south -midwinter would probably be prefer-
able, but to insure durability for farm pur-
poses I believe as much or more depends on
the care taken in seasoning it as on the time
when it is felled."
Manuring Orchards.
Ti• e London Garden speaks of the way in
which peach trees are treated in America,
or in some parts of America, where, ' says
the writer, " they are grown extensively in
°orchards," the fruit being more plentiful
a than apples in England. " By such enor-
mous crops," we are further told, " the
trees soon become exhausted and useless,.
the cultivators being under the necessity of
planting fresh orchards frequently, if not
annually." The remedy for this, says the
Albany Cultivator, is recommended in
manuring, and they may be kept ill good
bearing condition, and the trees well sup-
plied with solid manure every second or
third year. Liquid manure also is recom-
mended. This advice furnishes good sug-
• gestions for practiee in this country, and for
the owners of orchards. Whether peach,
apple, pear or plum trees are planted, it is
quite as important for the purpose of main-
taining thrifty. growth and fine fruit, to
apply manure at regular intervals as to ma-
nure such farm crops as corn, potatoes and
roots. Those who do not give this attention
find after awhile that trying to raise fruit
does not pay,and they are disappointed in
the attempt. Some of our most successful
orchardists, who sell fruit annually for hun-
dreds and thousands of dollars, give their
fruit trees the first chance in manuring, and
corn, potatoes and pastures take the second
chance.
a
A Water Garden.
The possibilities of water as a substitute
for mother earthin the treatment of plants
are not fully realized by all lovers of the
beautiful. To mention all the pleasant
results of home gardening.in this way would
require too much space. A few of the less
common devices may be acceptable.
The modest forget-me-not is beloved by
all persons of fine taste. Its flowers embody
the sentiment of sweet remembrance, of
good cheer and hopefulness. Its dainty
rale blue color is sufficient of itself to win
for it a place in the regard of flower lovers,
and the delicate pink of its buds and the
smooth soft green of its leaves are addition-
al sources of delight,
The forget-me-nots loves water, '.penny
son's "Brook" sings
Dore the sweet forgctane-nets
That grow for happy lovers.
In its Dative state the little flowers seek
a wet marshy soil or the bank of a running
stream. These couclitions may be stimu-
lated in the house garden.
A rather low wide bowl or vase filled with
water makes a good home for the plant
slip. It is of low habit, and if allowed to
grow tall does not bloom r Take a
t, freely., Y
good handful of forgot -me -not cuttings in
bloom or buckled, if possible, and place
them in water with no other care than to
see that eaeh piece is Well placed for root-
ing. The slips do net object to being
crowded. Indeed, I think they rather
like h.
In ai short time most of the cuttings will be
found to have taken vigorous root, but the
buds and blossoms have gone on their way
in the meantime, and apparently have not
been cousciolis of any change of element.
The flowers are just asperfectand the plant
as healthy as if grown in the soil out -o€ -
doors. I have semi a beautiful bawl of for-
get -me -nets bloom and grow in this way for
three mouths at time. They require little
sunshine #std snake a very pretty center-
piece for the flintier or parlor table.
Apple, cherry, peach and plum, tree shoots,
whose buds have begun to swell on the
trees, inay be forced to premature and
beautiful bloom in water, mad richly reward
the caro bestowed an them. All they ask is
abuutlance of fresh water and light, but not
much sunshine. They will blossom weeks
before those on the trees, and are exceed-
ingly pretty and delicate. In all invalid's
room they are especially welcome..
Other shrubs lyhoso leaf buds begin to
show signs of life resondreadilytoGustreat•
went, anda great branchof fresh spring
bloom is a pleasant sight in the late
winter or early spring months, when out -of
door sights are not inviting. There are
doubtless other interesting possibilities
which might be attempted by flower lovers
with success. These have been tested and
fouled practical, and require but little effort.
Pasture Grasses.
In the course of an artiele ou pasture
grasses contributed to the Country Gentle-
man Mr. James Wood says ":tome three
years ago a tract of rough, long cultivated
land, lying at an elevation of 530 feet about
the ocean, came into my possession. I de.
termined to use it as a sheep pasture. Por-
tions were under tillage and other portions
wereseedetlwith timothy and elover. As rap-
idly as was practicable 1 prepared the ground
by summer fallowing and manuring for seed-
ing and sowed, without any grain crop, a
mixture of the following grasses : Orchard
grass, lneadaw foxtail, sheep fame, hard
fescue, English rye grass, Italian ryerass,
and red top and red Clover, The result has
been a gond succession of feed throughout the
season and the sheep have done exceedingly
well from spring to late outwit).
I desired to have information as to the re-
lative value of threw various grasses upon the
lands where I wished to use thorn, so that in
future secdings I eould discard such as might
have but little value. To obtain such infor-
mation I selected a piece of ground of n
medium light but sandy lo: and of fair av-
erage fertility throughout. Plots cf two rods
square were pleasured off and marked by
locust posts, set as for fence posts. Each of
these was carefully sown with one of the var-
ieties I had used in the mixture with one or
two others not before obtainable.
Future years may greatly change my con-
clusions reamed at the end of two years'ob-
setvations upon these grasses. Now, I would
discard both the English and Italian rye
grasses, tho meadow fesc ue, the meadow
foxtail and Rhode Island bent grass. I
would include in a mixture for permanent
pastures the following and I place them in
the order of their apparent value: 1. Crested
dogs tail. 2. Orchard grass. S. Kentucky
blue grass: 4. Sheep fescue. 5. Hard fescue
6. Red top. „
Long Ago.
I once knew all the birds that came
And nested in our orchard trees,
For every flower I had a name—
My friends were woodchucks, toads and
bees;
I knew where thrived in yonder glen
What plants would sooth a stone -bruised
toe—
Oh, I was very learned then,
But that was long ago.
I knew the spot upon the hill
11 here checkerberries could be found,
I knew the rushes near the mill
Where pickerel lay that weiged a pound;
I knew the wood—the very tree
Where lived the poaching, saucy crow,
And all the woods and crows knew ale --
But that was very long ago.
And pining for the joys of youth,
1 tread the old familiar spot
Only to learn this solemn truth:
I have forgotten, am forgot.
Yet here's this youngster at my knee
Knows all the things I used to know;
To think I once was wise as he—
But that was very long ago.
1 know it's folly to complain
Of whatso'er the fates decree,
Yet were not wishes all in vain,
I tell you what my wish should be:
I'd wish to be a boy again,
Back with the friends I used to know,
For I was, oh; so happy then— '
But •that was very long ago.
Lost in a Strange City.
Tolaormo, July 10. -An old lady of over
70 years of age, who came from Oakwood to
visit her daughter, Mrs. Francis Brown, was
found by the police the other day helplessly
lost in the vast crowds which thronged the
streets. Her brother-in-law had arranged to
meet her at the station, but owing to some
mistake failed to appear. She did not know
the number of her friends' house and con-
sequently was given in charge of Mrs. Adams,
who will take care of her till her relatives
turn up.
Not a Parallel Case.

Mrs. O.--! ° No. "

us in two days."
Mrs. 0.-" Yes, but he thought I was
sufficiently punished by marrying you."

Curiously enough it has been left to a
Frenclinian to give the most generally ap-
proved chaiaterization of Emperor William
II. of Germany and his reign. In a
recent copy of the Paris Figaro Earnest
Laavisse, a celebrated) feuilletonist, described
in a letter from Berlin the young Emperor
and his mode of action so keenly, so epigram-
matically, and altogether so correctly that
most of the German dailies are now repro-
ducing the article for the information of
their readers. "William II, of all men,"
writes Id Lavisse, "has the greatest appre

MOST r1wrINATIN:Cl1ARSI, •
For many years Europe baskct seen on any
woof its great thrones. a roan of 30 years.
The dignity of such a position was the ex-

son of William IL, might and youth comb-
ine in a charming paradox. It satisfies him

I saw Emperor William for the last time
on Easter Sunday in 1S39 in Berlin. He
made a curious impression 0u ma. 1lerlin
is a very great, wholly modern, and rapidly
growhig City 10 material as well ae in
spiritual platters it is very progressive. It
has a cool reason and a cold heart. Politic-
ally it is radical or social democratic. It is
quite irreligious. As I saw this emperor by
the grace of Clod ride through the street of
Tills MODERN TOWN,
his shoulders erect, his head thrown back,
the features of his face proud and immobile,
patronizingly Mowing to the shouting crowd
on each side, I felt that I saw befot a Ino an
anachronism,—to be sure a living and trium-
phant anachronism, but none the less an
anachronism. Emperor by the Grace of
God t Believe me, this title isno empty name
to William II. He believes it frankly and
sincerely. Prussia has a Constitution which
grants the subject certain liberties, but the
King luta from trod .a higher charter, which
permits hila to su:)_pend or to encroach on
the Constitution. In Koenigsberg William
I. took his crown with his own hands ' from

f l t o ale
is not mentioned in the inventory' of the
parliamentary furniture of the Prussian
State.

liament. NI them the sovereign must ea-
tablish a modes vivendi. The tactics of

therefore, pe0essary to Come t0 SOn10 under-

of creating a parliamentary majority. lilm-
peror William. IL does not, however,. con.
seder himself obliged to have such a majority
in order that he may rule as lie wishes. He
rules because it is ins office to rule, and in
:,
his opinion, his right, He appears to have
no regard and little eyesight for party divi-
sions. Ho has--lulptrecedentctl performance
—in vited.Clerioals, Rndical and Social Demo-
crats to eat at his table. He has no idea of
the regular lawful tactics of an organized
opposition. When 11e devotes himself to the
thought of a political opponent, it is only for
the purpose of seeing it
SMASHED ON THE SPOT.
He, therefore, and he alone, will aver bear
the brunt of the battle. It is his proving
to settle all questions of the day, to look at
the causes and the remedies. All questions,
however, cannot be solved in Germany after
Iris fashion. The reasons for existing insti-
tutions there tie much deeper than in most
other countries. With us the labor question
is every man's business. The Government
and the citizen occupy themselves alike with
its solution. They all know that they will
not come to their goal in a day, but that to-
gether they will help their country towards
better things. The Emperor of Germany,
however, has made the labor question his
own exclusive property. He wishes to an-
swer it for Germany and for the world at
large. Undoubtedly, Emperor William, II.
has a few modern attributes. The questions
that interest him are questions of the times.
But he will never answer them in the spirit
of modern civilization. A nlau can apparent-
ly live as the rest of us mortals live, ride on
the railways and on the steamships, know
the statistics of the working people, discuss
learnedly concerning the preseut prise of
anthracite coal, and yet be the contempor-
ary of a century that is past.
"William II. speaks of the triple alliance
politely, but not enthusiastically. Perhaps
he finds it ' a back number.' To Compel
Austria to enter a combination with her
conquerorand then to honor Italy with an
invitation to join the two great middle
European powers, were easy hits cif diplo-
macy, too easy in fact, But to carry on
colonial politics in the same region with
England, to visit the Queen of England and
the Czar of Russia, to review the English
navy in the uniform of an English Admiral
and the Russian armyein the uniform of a
Russian officer, to strive at once for friend-
ship of the whale and the white bear, as
Prince Bismarck said, that is fine, that is
inspiring, that is impossible, that is the goal
of William II.
" The future of William II, is no clearer
today than it was two years ago. The
young Emperor has made his debut in his-
tory not with brilliant deeds, but with
brilliant purposes. He attracts public atten-
tion to a wonderful degree. He is the
favorite of public opinion: He deserves
those honorsonaccount of the philanthropy of
his dreams and on account of his determina-
tion (as expressed to Jules Simon) to do
mankind good rather than to terrify it,
further and most particularly in view of his
apprehension of approaching dangers. Lot
these dangers come. The Emperor will not
stand aside. He is brave to the point of
recklessness. He has supreme confidence in
the future, and his figure, the figare of the
ideal soldier, strides forth unhesitatingly
into the unknown."

Lean Upon My Arm Mother.
A gentleman coming out of chnrch on
Sunday last with an aged Iady on his arm
was heard to say, "Pray, lean on my arm,
mother ; I am well able to bear your
weight." The sentence suggested the fol -
'owing lines to the Penciler :
Pray lean upon my arm, mother,
Tour form is feeble now,
And silvery are the locks that shade
The furrows on your brow
Your stop is not so strong, mother.
As in the days gone by ;
But strong as ever is the love
That beams within your eye.
When I was but a babe, mother,
With tender love inspired
Yon carried me for many an hour
Un.i1 your arms wore tired.
From childhood up to manhood's years,
Through every pain and i11.
You watched ale with a loving eye—
You watch my welfare still.
And shall I fail you now, mother,
When all your strength has fled,
Neglect to guide your feeble steps
As through tifc s vale y.0 tread
Your eyes are dim with ane, mother,
Care's lines are on your prow„
The little feet you guided once
Are strong to guide you now:
Then lean upon my arm, mother,
Henceforth life's journey through,(
What you did do so long for him
Your boy will do for you.
Platonic Love of a Pig and a Cow,
A peculiar case of brute attachment came
ander the notice of Miss • Freddie Lehman
not long since. A little stray pig about as
big as a bar of soap, that had becorne lost
from its mother, took up with one of Miss
Lehman's milk cows, and the cow and the
pig became wonderfully attached to each
other. The pig suckled the cow as if she
were its own mother, and the cow fondled
the pig as if it were her own calf. Neither
could be separated from the other, and
they seemed perfectly miserable when apart
for only a few moments. The little pig
foraged for the cow, and would often slip in

for mutual protection and aggrandizement,
and they pr )spared and grew fat in their
happiness. But a dark,day came: Mr. Piggie.
