Afr. McCreary registered a vigorous

without any opposition.
There is a danger that on neaten
of the wet weather, orchards wil
not receive their usual cultivation
which is urgently needed to destroy
weeds, aerate the soil, and conserv
soll moisture for future 080.
tho ground is not stirred it bakes,
cracks open and evaporation goes 011
rapidly. liy stirring' the soil
through frequent cultivatioe, thus
keeping a loose mulch on the sur-
face, capillarity is broken op and
moisture retained. As soon as it is
possible, therefore, to get on the
ground after a rain, the cultivator
should be started in the orchard and
kept going ae steadily as time and
weather will permit.
PEAR LEAF BLISTER. MITE.
The Fruit Division, Ottawa, sends
the following information with ref-
erence to this insect to Mr. R, Bray,
Walkerton, Ont.:— The pear leaves
shown at the Fanners' institute
mooting at Teesivater are infected
with the Pear Leaf Blister Mite,
(Phyt op t us pyri ) . This insect is
sometimes quite prevalent, and al-
though it spreads slowly' front tree
to tree, is likely to do 1114011 1141'14.
Dr, Fletcher, Dominion Entomolo-
gist, treats of this insect in 1118 re-
port for 1895, page 190. Ile recom-
0e23d8 as the most practical reined
the use of the kerosene emulsion just
as the leaf buds are opening.
Dr. Fletcher gives the following
description' "Reddish spo 15 appear
on the leaves, somewhat irregular in
shape, about one-eighth of an inch
in diameter, and frequently confluent.
These appear on the young pear
leaves early in spring, and as the
S111112110(' progresses they turn to
corky, blister-like galls with a hole
n the centre through which large
numbers of Minute elongated mites
issue and attack the fresh parts of
the leaf."
This insect attack only pear leaves
aud is reported as having been dis-
covered in nearly all pear -growing
istric ts.
THE "ICING" APPLE.
The "Xing" is one of favorite
arieties of apples in the market,

1eg0043.11, been noted that by top -

The Fruit Division, Ottawa, invit-
d correspondence upon this subject

ory. Idr, Wm, Read, of Jarrat's

quay good results. Mr. Judson

TELEPHONE CONNECTION,
The municipalities have gained an
invportant point on tho telephone
ciuestion. Mr. Blair has consented
to the following amendment to his
Railway C01110115S1 011 Bill:
'Whenever any municipality or cor-
poration has authority to construct,
operate, and maintain a telephone
system in any district, and is desir-
ous of obtaining telephonic commu-
nication with any station or prem-
ises of the company in such district,
and cannot agree with the company
with respect thereto, such municipal-
ity or corporation may apply to the
board for leave therefor. and the
board may order the company to
provide for such connection or com-
munication upon such terms as to
compensate them as the board 111101,y deem just and expedient, and may
order and direct 10.11011, how, where,
by whom, and upon what terms and
conditions such telephonic connec-
tions or communication should be
constructed, operated, and main-
tained.
RURAL Arm', 73ELIVERY,
Sir Win. Mulock, in reply to Mr.
Maclean, stated that he was not pre-
pa,red to make any definite an-
nouncement upon the question of a
rural mail delivery. great many
statements lima been published re-
specting the operettion of the system
in the Unitod States, especially in
reference to the paying qualities of
the service, Investigation, however,
showt/d that they wore not founded
on fact. Ile noticed that many of
the high officials of the 'United
States service were under criminal
indictment for fraud, and their re-
ports were not, he thought, reliable;
therefore, he was not guaranteed in
taking the United States as a. safe
criterion in this regard, He did not,
however, wish to take any attitude
against it. Officials of the depart-
ment had investigated the system
from the Atlantic aeast west to De-
troit, mid he would be delighted if
during his term of office ha found
himself justified in inaugurating a
system of such importance to the
people of the rural district. He
could mit, however, take the step
rashly and without full investiga-
tion.

7 during the past two years has clear-
ly eitowki that there Is vast room
for improvement. The OU (13010011 has
been 304 int roam Lion into. Parlia-
ment by the Minister of Agriculture
of a bill to t0103)1 1(2 1113 (101111i110115
that have been shown to exist. The
bill is intended to prohibit the sale
of any commercial seeds which may
contain tenth) of such weeds us wild
mustard, inelnY-aress, ox -eye daisy,
ptirenniai sow thistle, ragweed, bind-
weed and several others; and to
provide for the grading of all seeds
sold as either "Grade No. I.,"
"Grade No. II.," "Grade No. III.,"
or "Screenings." The requirements
of each grade aro specified, the basis
of grading being the per cent, of
pure living seed, and in the case of
the higher grades, the freedom from
specified weed seeds in addition to
those above mentioned. The grading
Is to bo done by the seedmen them-
selves, but samples may be sent for
enalysis to the Department of Agri»
0)11t111'e at Ottawa,
The bill has aroused great interest
among the seedmen, as should it be-
come law, much greater caro will be
required in grading than is at pres-
ent the case. A. deputation of prom-
inent Canadian seedsmen waited up-
on tho Minister of Agriculture a
week or two ago to protest against
the passing of tho bill as drafted,
claiming that some of the clauses
were impracticable and that if en-
forced would cause undue restriction
and possibly
SUSPENSION OF TRADE.
They claim that it is impossible to
obtain In sufficient quantity seed of
Um higher grades, owing to the pre-
valence of weed seeds. Many of
those it is inmineticable to clean out
on account of their similarity in
size and weight to tho clover seeds.
Much of the seed received from the
producers is vile with weed seeds,
and although it may be greatly int -
proved by cleaning, cannot by any
means be inado perfect.
The demand this year has been
much greater than in any previous
year for the best recleaned seed, due
largely to the preaching of the gos-
pel of good seed by the Agricultural
Department. In fact, it was stated
by one of the leading seedsmen that
as far as demand for good seed was
concerned there had been more im-
provement in the last two years
than in the previous twenty. Un-
fortunately, however, tho quality of
seed received from the producers has
not improved. Should the proposed
bill come into force, as is almost
sure to be the case sooner or later,
they are determined to differentiate
greatly in price in favor of clean
samples when making their purchases
from the growers. To a. certain ex-
tent this is done at present, but a
special premium is to be put on high
g
This is as it should be, beaten
there is no excuse for the production
of clover seed foul with weed seeds.
The weeds most common in ard
clover &Ids aro 00110.010. thistle,
curled dock, ragweed and White
cockle; white wild mustard, ox -eye
daisy, sow thistle and several others
are found less frequently. • In alsike
falso flax, white cockle, sheep
sorrel, curled clock, mayweed and
lamb's -quarters aro frequently found.
All of these weeds may be readily
seen ivhilo growing, and before the
seed ripens is the proper time to re-
move them. They may be either
spudded or pulled, and removed from
the field. This system is practised
by smile of our most successful grow-
ers of clover seed, and when once
given a trial is Mend to be not only
practicable, hut also thorough, fairly
rapid, and
VERY PROFITABLE.

Lord Charles lieresford's Tribute
to Ring's Diplomacy,
A despatch from London says; At
the Dilgrim's Club luncheon to the
visiting American officers, at the
Carlton Club, Vico Admiral Lord
Charles Deresford presided.
In proposing the toast of "The
King," Lord Beresford said lie be-
lieved the day was coming when
Xing Edward would be known as
"Edward the Peacemaker."
Lord Beresford then toasted "Pres-
ident Roosevelt," and asked why
the President was liked in England?
Ire added:—
"We like the man. We like the
strong, generous man, whet I may
call the real, human man, The
President will do Ms level best to
bring the two English-speaking na-
tions together in ono harmonious
whole, which is the same idee. Xing
Edward had on the occasion of his
visit to the President of Franco. If
President Roosevelt were to come
hero I believe the enthusiasm would
be far greater than in the ease of
any reception over accorded to any
visitor from any country."
To proposing l'The American
Navy," Lord Beresford said that
whenever there was anything distr.-
groeable abroad Great Britain and
America, generally drifted together.
If the two nations got together to
maintain. their common interests and
commerce) it would make for the
peace of the world. Neither Great
Britain nor America wanted an alit -
mere "but," the speaker added, "we
want an understanding. Both Great
Britain and America are Mereasing
their fleets, but that is no more a
threat to other nations than in-
creasing the police force of the cities
111 order to maintain order."

It may be claimed that to do this
where weeds aro very plentiful is out
01 (110 question; that it would take a
great deal of time, and the tramping
would injure the crop. A field in
which the weeds aro too plentiful to
bo handled in this way should not
under any consideration be devoted
to the production of clover for seed.
It, is absolutely folly to grow seed
which is ten or fifteron per centweed
seeds, ns there is no surer way of
widely disseminating weeds 11111.11 to
have tho seeds mixed with, other-
wise good grades of small commerci-
al seeds, such 08 thonlo of the grasses
and clovers. To sell seeds adulter-
ated with ten per cent. of sand
would be regarded by many people
as criminal, but how 11111011 more
criminal should it be regarded to sell
seed containing ten per cent of nox-
ious weed seeds. 111 the former caSo
the only injury is an increase in
price; in the latter, the enhanced
price of the good seed is a Snlail
matter compered with the injury
done by the introduetion of neW
weed pests,
11 is impossible to effectively en-
force legislatiot . to prevent the
growth of impure seed. We must
teach the producers to see the folly

differences in price 111 order to pro-
tect themselves, and there is 110
(1011111 that tho increased price for
good seed will more than repay the
extra trouble iavolved in its pro-
duction. It in therefore to every
