Preparing PluMs for 1Vlarket.
In most oaeee experience lie graven that
plume, if shipped to market in toe -pound
grope baskets, provided with handlve, and
put up in neat, presentable shape, will bring
the producer a greater per omit, of profit
than if shipped in half -bushel, or Bethel
crates, or paokagee. A osreful picker oan
pll the basket direct from the tree ; but
the ueual plan le to pick into large recep-
tacles, then, oorefully sorting the plume. to
place them in packages ready for market.
This frequent haudlmg removes a groat deal
of the bloom from the fruit, which removal
'should be avoided as much ae possible. By
the use of a single table, similar to the one
shown in the engraving, plums and other
similar fruits are easily sorted. The top of
the table shquld not be over three feet

Both hands eau then be used in removing
the leaves, limbs, damaged or imperfect

point upon each aide. The perfect fruit,
or that intended for shipping,is rolled in

and may be made in as crude or elaborate a
form as wished. In working, the elbows
can rest upon the guards, r, c, which will

simple appliances, and quickly removed

Relation of Butter Flavor And Color.
The Rural New Yorker reoently asked
several -experts whether butter flavor is
dependent on the color. The following is
an abstract of some of the replies :
H. H. Deem, Ontario agricultural col.
lege : Generally speaking white butter
lacks flavor, although it is possible to have
naturally white butter of good flavor by
ripening cream properly.
L. L. Van Slyke, New York experiment
etationa—When cows are turned out to
grass, the butter becomes higher in color
and favor, but who can show that this is
not a marc aoincidenoe, or that the increase
of color has anything to do with increase
of flavor ?
S. M. Babcock, Wisconsin experiment
station : It is a well established fact that
the butter from the Guernseys and Jerseys
has a higher color than that from the
Holsteins, Ayrehires and Shorthorns. If
the above question be true, 1 would expect
that the Jersey and Guernsey butter would
have a higl-or flavor than that from the
other breeds mentioned. This, however,
does not appear to be the case.
C. D. Smith, Michigan agricultural col-
lege : There is absolutely no commotion
whatever between high color and high
flavor. Between color and flavor there is
no relation of cause and effect.
A. L. Wales : I do not think color has
any influence on flaeor which is determined
by feed and management in manufacturing
the product.
J. L. Hills, Vermont experiment station:
As butter is usually made, color and flavor
go, to some extent, hand in hand.
John Gould : Aa color in butter is large-
ly an individual peculiarity of cows, and
what the market calls flavor is a creation
of the butter maker secured through the
agency of ferments working on the sugar
and casein of the milk and not the tate, it
is hard to see hew, conditions being eimi-
lar, the natural Dolor of milk has vary
much to do with the flavor of the butter.
Prof. H. W. -Conn, Middletown, Conn.
Butter flavor and color aro entirely die-
tinet, and it is possible to produce high
flavor without color.
Sheep Tieks.
Some farmers seem satisfied to raise 50

they winter their sheep without losing any.
no matter how poor and weak they may
have become by spring, owing to ivauffloient
nourishment,expoouro to storms, or the fact
that parasitise have existed in large and
increasing numbers.
No good caretaker fails to see the value
of furnishing an abundance of nourishing
food or to provide suitable shelter from
etorme. By dipping at seasonable times all
trouble and loss from paraeitio posts is done
away with.
Dipping our sheep for parasites has
become as regular a feature of oaring for
our flock as shearing It not only deotroye
the pests if present but it insures the flock,
so to speak, from future outbreaks of eaab,

Some Bien say that it pays if for nothing
else than the improvement in the quality

if any, cheaper than those already prepared,

have been unearthed, and the Emperor's
life has been repeatedly attempted, hut
great caro hes always been taken
to prevent the full truth becoming known.
The recent discoveries of railways
being mined over which the Emperor would
have to pass, and of public buildings being
also mined which it was known he intended
to visit, show the imminence of the danger;
and also thea the conspirators must oo
comparatively nunieroue and possess funds.
Danger threatens from different directions:
(1) the old Nihilists, who are practically
Anarchists. Although these, from their
adventurous hardihood,are very dangerous,
they are not numerically etroug;(2) the
old-time type of conepitatore, men of the
upper and middle Glasses, who are greatly
dissatisfied with the present oast -iron
system of rule and standatillism, and who
ars determined, et any risk, to bring about
it change; (3) other so•oalled conspirators,
bet who outside Bessie, would not be classed
as such; men who abhor assassination, but
who seek more or less legally to bringabout
reforms, In other countries these latter
would form legal associations for peacefully
effecting reforms, but this cannot be done
under that son-Asiastio deenotism. Tho
Russian police often purpoeely mix them
up with the genuine plotters, with whom.
they have nothing to do.

A Remarkable 01.1re for Diphtheria
The Pall Mall Gazette has a note about a
new diphtheria cure, about which very
little has been heard, but which, it le amid,
has been so firmly established as a sound
and trustworthy remedy that it is about to
be introduced at once in one of the large
London fever hospitals. The history of this
cure is,roughly speaking,ao folio wa:—Diph-
theriawas first studied asa zymoticdiseaao,
and its characteristic bacillus was isolated
by Loftier, in Berlin, and afterwards by Dr
Roux of the Pasteur Institute. Roux found
that the symptoms of the disease were pro
duced by a epeeilio poison, secreted by the
diphtheria barillas. The matter was taken
up afresh by Professor Behring, of Berlin,
who discovered the remarkable fact that
blood from any animal which had been ren-
dered immune would actually cure di phtheria
and extirpate the noxious bacillus. This
result is one of tho most startling in the
whole range of dacteriology. It seems in-
credible, first, thatby injecting weak cul-
tures of a disease into living animals the
animals donot become infected with the
disease, but simply become immune to it
so that one can inject without harm,
into a guinea pig as much poison ns
would have otherwise sufficed to kill
whole colony of guinea pigs ; and secondly,
that a few drops of blood from that animal
injected into a human child suffering
from diphtheria will arrest and often
cure the disease. Usually it is a horse
that is made immune, and the process of
bleeding is so simple and painless that it
will not even look up from the carrot it is
munching to see what the operator is doing
at its jugular vein. By and ty, in all pro-
bability, a means will be found of obtaining
the necessary serum without having recourse
to living animnle et all, and then the euro
will have reached its highest attsinment.
A Canine Crusade.
A crusade is about to be begun against
the canine race, says a Paris letter. 11 ham

nearly 500,000 dogs in Paris there are only
some 80,000 that are licensed. Should the
authorities carry out their intention of
making a hecatomb of all doge for whom

500,000 dogs Dost, according to official
statiotioe, over 55 000,000 per annum for
speoially prepared food. There are twenty-
five manufaeturere of dog collars and muz•
zlee, who employ considerably over 1,000
handle : there are five dog bakers, six
manufacturers of dog biscuits,. 150 dog
barboro, three pharmacies stocked with
canine medicines, two dozen canine infirm•
arias, and two great dog hospitals, all of
which will have to olose up if the govern-

Their visit would have bean a failure, how-
ever, if they had stopped onlyat the both.
ties of Niagara, but he would not say t hat
it would have been altogether unaatisfao-
tory if they had stopped there. They had
at the conference passed resolutions, which,
if carried into effect, would, ha believed,
prove of the greatest importance andbsnefit
to the mutual prosperity, progress, and
welfare of the self-governing colonies, the
dependencies, and the Mother Country.

Brotherhood of Britons, and he could not
but feel that even though they might have
to wait for some time before their wishes
were realized, the time would come when
Britons all over the world would be one in
all things, But they could not live on
sentiment though it was of itself a good
thing. They came from distant depend-
encies charged with the important mission
of promoting commercial intercon3oe be-
tween the different parts of the Empire.

mens would before long pass a measure
which would enable the different colonies
of the Empire to enter into an agreement
for the purpose of giving
PREPERBNTIAL TRADE PRIVILEGES

this plan would depend to a great extent
upon the boeiuese mem of the Empire, who
would direct attention to the efforts being
made to bring about this state of things.

establish a Pacific cable, and urged upon

no doubt means would be taken to establish
a fast Pacific and Atlantic service. The
mission of the delegates had not been in
vain , and they would all go hack to their
colonies and tell their countrymen of the
greatness of this country. One thing that
struck hits more particularly was the
political sagacity of the Canadians. That
political wisdom waa seen in Confederation,
which had been carried out in the face of
tremendous difficulties—diffioaitiea of race
and rival interests, as well as physical
difficulties. The result won a form
of Government that was a model to
the world. In Australia there was suffici-
ent intelligence to parry out a scheme of
confoderatiou, but palttical jealousies stood
in the way. But the result of this confer-
ence would be that the linea would be
drawn oloaer. Aa Canadians saved them-
selves by thei.• political fortitude and fore.
sight, so lie trusted they would save Aus-
tralia, and help to bring about a federation

Mr. W. S. Darker is a young
minister of Peterboro wlto has by his
great earnestness and able expositiou
of the doctrines of the Bible earned
for himself a plane amongst the
foremost ministers of Canada. He,
with his most estimable wife, believe
in looking after the temporal as well
as the spiritual welfare of mankind,
hence the following statement for
publication :
" I have much pleasure in re-
eommonding the Great South Ameri-
can Nervine Tonic to all who 'are
tflietod as I have been with nervous
prostration and indigestion, I found
very great relief from the very first
bottle, which was strongly recom-
mended to me by niy druggist. I
also induced my wife to use it, who,
I must say, was completely run down
and was suffering very much from
general debility. She found great
relief from South American Nervine
and also cheerfully recommends it
to her fellow -sufferers.
"Ray. W. S. BARRIO,"
It is now a scientific fact that cer-
tain nerve centres 'located near the
base of the brain have entire control
over the stomaoh, liver, heart, lungs
and indeed all internal organs; that
is, they furnish these organs with
the necessary nerve force to enable
them to perforin their respective
work. When the nerve centres are
weakened or deranged the nerve
force is diminished, and as s result
the stomach will not digest the food,
the liver becomes torpid, the kidneys
will not act properly, the heart and
lungs suffer, and in fact the whole
system becomes weakened and sink
on account of the lack of nerve forme.'
South American Nervine is based
on the foregoing scientific discovery
and is so prepared that it acts
directly on the nerve centres. It
immediately increases the nervous
energy of the whole system, thereby
enabling the different organs of the
body to perform their work perfectly,
when disease at once disappears.
It greatly benefits in one day,
Mr. Solomon Bond, a member of
the Society of Friends, of Darlington,
Ind., writes: "I have used six bottles
of South American Nervine and I
consider that every bottle did for me
one hundred dollars worth of good,
because I have not had a good
night's sleep for twenty years on
account of irritation, pain, horrible
dreams, and general nervous pros-
tration, which has been caused by
chronic indigestion and dyspepsia of
the stomach, and by a broken down
condition of my nervous system.
But now 1 oan lie down and sleep all
night as sweetly as a baby, and i.
feel like a sound man. I do not
think there has ever been a medicine
introduced into this country, which.
will at all compare with this is rt
cure for tho stomach and nerves.".
