A merchant in a town not 20 miles

roll of butter she had made for another
one. Why? "Well," said she "a
mouse fell into the cream I made this
from and to a stranger not knowing it,.
it would make no difference." "That's
so," said the obliging man, and went
down cellar to get another roll, which
he gave to the lady who went home
pleased. On going to the cellar he had
got hold of a butter spade and quickly
reformed the roll into a different shape!
and gave the lady her own butter! A

CABBAGE ROOT DISEASE,
Virginia's Experience and Advice on
Methods of Combating Pest,
In describing the cabbage clubreet
disease, wlalcit tuts inflicted injury on
tbe cabbage growers of Virginia, the
agricultural experiment station of the
state says:
When a field 1 badly infected with
this disease it may appear at the seed-
ling stage as a dwarfing of the young
plants, but the fields are not usually
badly enough infected the first season
to manifest the disease until the cab-
bage is half grown, In districts where
the disease bus just begun to get a
foothold the grower uotices tbat the
plants winch are being infected show a
teudeney to wilt ou bright sunny days,
althougle at night they recover and do
not wilt' oe the following day unless it
Is again bright and warm. Such plants
May succeed in making enough growth
to produce a salable cabbage, although
it is somewhat undersized and slightly

loose. The earlier the plant is infected
with the disease the smaller is the head
produced. If the diseased plant is
pulled up one finds that it has a swoll-
en and contorted root in place of the
fine fibrous roots of the normal plant.
This explains the wilting when one re-
members that the soil and its dissolved
food substances are taken up through
the fibrous roots. When the plants are
infected at the seedling stage they are
usually killed before the season is half
over, and the infected areas • may be
seen entirely bare of cabbage. The
swollen, contorted roots, whieh have
robbed the plant of its food material,
begin to decay in the soil, in the latter
part of the season and continue the
process of decay, aided by frosts and
Soil bacteria, so that,nothing of them is
seen the following spring. The disease
is caused by a fungus, and the follow-
ing methods of treatment are recom-
mended:
Avoid introducing any material into
the field which may carry the germs of
the club root from diseased fields.
'Guard especially againel diseased soil
and diseased cabbage plants.
Practice crop rotations which will.al-
low at least three years between crops
of cabbage, rutabagas or turnips.
.Apply stable, manure to the crop
which precedes cabbage, but not to the
cabbage crop itself. If acid phosphate
Is applied the same rule would liold.
Lime will more successfully counter-
act the club root disease than other
substances. Apply it at the rate of 100
bushels or more per acre one or two
years previous to planting the cabbage.

ICEBERG GROUPINGS.
Clusters and Long Lines. Formed by
Storms and Ocdan Currents.
Among the perils and wonders of the
ocean there are few more interesting
things than icebergs, interesting not
only by reason of their gigantic size,
their fantastic shapes, their exceeding
beauty, but also for the manner where-
in they array themselves.
Icebergs exhibit a tendency to form.
both clusters and long lines, and these
groupings may arise from the effects
both of ocean currents and of storms.
Some very singular lines of bergs,
extending for many hundreds of miles
east of Newfouedland, have been
shown on official charts issued by the
government. Two of these cross each
other, each keeping on its independent
course after the crossing. In several
Instances parallel lines of bergs leave
long spaces of clear water between
them.
Curiously enough, while enormous
fields of ice invade the ' so called
"steamship lanes" of the Atlantic at the
opening of spring during certain years,
in other years at that season there is
comparatively little ice to be seen.
The ice conies, of course, from the
edges of the arctic regions, from the
icebound coasts of Greenland and
Labrador, where huge bergs, broken
from the frEnt of the glaciers at the
point where they reach the sea, start
on their long journeys toward the
soutb, driven by the great current
that flows from Baffin bay Into the
northern Atlantic ocean. - Harper's
Weekly.
Why.Stars Twinkle.
The twinkling of the stars is chiefly
an effect produced in the atmosphere
upon the waves of light. It is due to
currents and strata of air of different
densities •intermingling and floating
past each other, through which the
light passes to the eye. It is seen
much more in cold than in warm
weather and nearer the horizon more
than overhead. The same effect may
be seen by looking out of a window
over a hot radiator or a candle helcl
on the other side of a hot stove, so
that you have to look through a body
of highly heated air at the candle
flame. The flame will be seen to
waver and quiver. In other words,
the various layers of air are at differ-
ent onsities and in motion, hence the
"twinkle." -Exchange.
The prass Widow Defined.
It Is related of a Methodist bishop
that when presiding over a district
conference In North Carolina he had
au attack of hay fever and in conse-
quence was somewhat irascible and
impatient. A young preacher who gave
a rather poor account of his work was
given a severe reprimand by the bish-
op and asked to state the reason for
his failure.
"Well, bishop," he explained, "we
had a lot of trouble the first year with
a grass widow, and" -
"A grass widowl" roared the bishole.
"And what, pray, is a grass widow?"
"A grass widow, bishop," responded
the young clergyman "Is a woman
whose husband died of hay fever." -

"Why," said the young man who tries
to be cynical, "are dogs and herself

come a large part of the potatoes con-
sumed in Ontario yield is almost twice
the Ontario yield. Why this difference?
The farmers of Maine, use 1,2be to

tato fertilizer for their crops. This
means a considerable expenditure, but
their increased production more than
justifies the entlay. In Maritime Can-
ada commercial potato fertilizer is used
universally, and Maritime potatoes,
classed as "Delawares" on the Toronto
market, are noted for their high quali-
