Where the soil is a loose, sandp loam, Wiling is not necessary and may be injurious, as the soil dries out more thou if loft on the level. In heavy soil' iti is. de- sirable to hill the potatoes.. When there is sufficient rainfall and mois- ture in the soil hilling is likely "to give best results in all kinds of soil as the soil will he looser and the tubers can push througli it readily. As a -great development of tubers takes place during the cooler and us- ,ually moister weather of the latter part of summer, it is very impor- tant to keep the plants growing well until then. It is very important to prevent the tops of potatoes from being eaten by insects, particularly by the Colorado Potato Beetle. These begin to eat rapidly soon af- ter hatching, and close watch- should be kept so that the vines may be sprayed berme much harm is done. Paris green kills more rapidly than arsenate of 'lead but does not adhere so well, and in rainy weather it is desirable to have something that will stay on the leaves so that they will be protected until it stops rain- ing and thus prevent the tops being eaten.- At the Central Experimental Farm a mixture of Paris green and arsenate of lead is used in the pro- portion of 8 ounces Paris green, 11 pounds paste arsenate of lead (or 12 runes drp arsenate o6 lead) to 40 gallons of water in order to get the advantage of both poisons. It may be that it is not convenient to get both poisons when either 12 ounces of Paris green or 3 pounds ' paste arsenate of lead (or 13 pounds dry arsenate of lead) to 40 gallons wat- er could be used, or in smaller quan- tities, say 1 ounce I'aris green to 3 gallons or 31 ounces paste arsenate of lead or half -that quantity of dry to 3 gallons of water. An experi- ment conducted for six years at the Ontario Agricultural College, Guelph, showed that, on the average, where the tops ueres ratc1 to kill. "bugs,” s," the yield was 180.9 bushels per acre, while when the tops were not sprayed and allowed to ire eat:_, the yield was only 98.2 bushels per acre. 1t is desirable. not to stop with one spraying which usually. does 1101 kill all the bugs hut to spray several tithes. In some years the - crop of potatoes is much lessened by the Late Might disease and when rot follow little of the crop may he left. It is, therefore, very desirable to prevent this disease from spread- ing. This is done by keeping the plants coverer) with Bordeaux mix- ture from about the first week of July, or before there is any sign of the disease, until September. Some- times the first application of Bor- deaux mixture is trade before the potato beetles are all killed when the poison for them may be mixed with the Bordeaux. While• the dis- ease is not very bad every year it is well t"o be prepared. The formula for Bordeaux mixture for potatoes, is 0 pounds copper sulphate or Blue- stone, 4 pounds freshly slaked lime to 40 gallons of water. While the bluestone will dissolve more quickly in lint water ; tf it is not convex- ient to get this, it may be suspend- ed over night in a cotton bag in a wooden or earthen vessel containing four or five 'or more gallons of wat- er, The lime should be slaked in another vessel and -before Mixing with the copper sulphate solution should be strained through coarse sacking or a line sieve, The copper sulphate is Snow 1111.1 i'nto a barrel, 0 fl; has not already been dissolved 01 One, and enough water added to half till the barrel ; the slaked limo should be diluted in another barrel with enough water tto make half a barrel of the lime !mixture. Now pour the diluted lime mixture into the diluted copper sulphate solution and stir thoroughly, when it is ready for use, The concentrated lime mita. tura should not be mixed with the concentrated copper sulphate solo- tion, as, if this is done, an inferior mixture will result, if the barrels are kept covered so that; there is no evaporatioie, stocic solutions of the couaautrated materiels may be kept in separate bm•tels thr:ougliott the season, It is important to have the quantities of limo and copper sul- phate as recommended, but, in order to be sure that enough lithe has been used soul there Is no danger of burning the• foliage, let a drop ' of ferrocyanide of potassium soltttioat (which can be obtained from a druggist) fall 1111e the mixture Wham needy, .If the latter turns redclisll- brown, add morn lime ntkter° li,sbil no change of cotottt takes place, TIT; NEWS-R61(.10RD LEADS 10011 TOWN, TbWNStIIP AND COUNTY NEWS.

Do you know what the Duke of Wel- lington regarded as the crowning honor of his life? It was not his conquest of Napoleon and the gift of a castle worth more than . 1,000,000, which the British nation conferred on him in recognition of his services when his military gen- ius had freed England of the deadly menace that could only be removed by the absolute crushing of the Little Cor- sican. Instead, it was the position he occu- pied during a large part of the Napo- leonic war period, not as field _marshal, but as warden 05 the Cinque Porth. To be warden of the Cinque Ports was honor enough for any ono man, but it was far from an empty honor, for it carried with it the most exacting re- sponsibility. The name is a left over from the pe. riod when Englund and France. were closely bound together, when a goodly y section of the mainland across the channel was ruled by the king and when countless French terms were in daily use in England. The Cinque Ports were Dover, Hythc, Hastings, Sand. wich and Romney. Even after Win- chelsea and Rye had been added they continued to be called the "Five Ports" To the warden over these coast de- fense towns was given the task of pro- tecting England from invasion, and as a result their population was composed very largely of marines, on whose baud's time hung heavily during pro- tracted peace. The result was that they broke the monotony by many a lively fight with the French marines across the channel. One of these re-, suited so seriously that England was forced to gioe up her fortresses on the French coast. Wellington died at the official warden's residence, Walmer Castle, Kent, Music of the Spheres. The rising and the setting of the sun clearly prove that this globe is carried round in the space of twenty-four hours in an eternal and never ending circuit and .with incredible swiftnneas. I am riot able to say whether the sourl. caused by the whirling about of so' great a mass be excessive and there- fore far beyond what our ears can per- ceive, enceive, nor, indeed, whether the re- sounding of so many stars, all carried on at the same time end revolving in their orbits, may not produce a de- lightful harmony of incredible sweet- ness. To us, who are in the interior, the world appears to glide silently along both by day and by night—Pliny. The Medal of Honor. 'A military decoration more difficult to earn, or et least far more sparingly awarded than the emblem of the Leg- ion of Honor, the Victoria cross or the Iron cross, is the medal of honor, which is the proud possession of a few, American soldiers. The highest deco- rations that European goveknments bestow for exceptional valor may all be won in the ordinary course of duty, but the wearer of our medal of honor trust have distinguished himself con- spicuously "for gallantry and intrepid- ity above his comrades—service that involved extreme jeopardy of life or the performance of extraordinarily hazardous duty."—Exchange.
