notwithstanding the weakness of

fairly the general sentiment. ,
It is a misfortune for such a place as
Leafraore to be otesed, and the county re-

reflected that Lord Gaunt would be the
best watt the county b,ad. held for wine
yeare past; and Leafmore was a very.de.

Mr. Bright got Decima down to the Hall
nearly every day, and asked her advice
upon every change that was being so
swiftly wrought there; „and Decima was
so engrossed that .she bad quite forgotten

the Tuesday morning, Bobby remarked:
"I wonder whether the governor means

lVhy Spraying Is Necessary.
Past and .gone are those days
when large crops of perfect fruit,
uninjured by cumuli°, codling moth
or scab, could be • harvested with-
out thought of sprays and spray
pumps, of lead arsenate or paris
green,of lime -sulphur and hoth-
ead= mixture, „and of other treat-
ments for the troubles which con-
test the modern fruit grower's suc-
cess,- writes Mr. S. G. Sanders.
• In the early days, young orchards
required but little care after plant-
ing, other than occasional cultiva-
tion., until in due time the perfect,
unblemished fruit was gathered. A
gradual change has taken place
with the introduction and dissem-
ination of new insect pests and
plant diseases, until now spray ap-
paratus and materials are abso-
lutely necessary.
• These changing. conditions have
taught us a strong lesson of the pos-
sibility of -even more disastrous in-
troduction of pests. There are still
many serious pests in foreign lands
Which. have not become established
in our country, but doubtless will
be sooner or later if systems of
rigid inspection of imported plant
material are not soon inaugurated.
An insect or disease -which is unim-
portant in its native land, may be-
come & serious menace when placed
under new conditions and environ-
ment, -where climate isfavorable
and natural enemies are lacking.
•
' The aevakeeing' of the. entomolea
gists and the public ia general to
the danger of introducing serious
insect pests and fungi's • diseases
was caused more largely .by the in-
tr:oduation of San 3'ose scale than
ariy other one factor. No other in-
sect has caused so. much expense
and legislation as the San Jose
Scale (a,. harmless insect in its na-
tive home in central China), which
infests a wide range of fruit trees
as well as many ornaments. If
there had been no inspection ser-
vice during the last fifteen or more
years, this pest would now be founcl.
in every eounty
towshtp
in Canada where deciduous trees
are growing. The damage caused
by this tiny insect was early recog-
nized by entomologists and means
were sought- to prevent its spread.
But before adequate means of con-
trol were. discovered it had gained
a foothold. in many sections of some
a the country, and in spite
of all precautions has graeluaily
.spread, •
What is true of fruit trees is also
...true of shade trees. Take, for in-
stance, the injury to our beautiful
birch trees by insects. Such a gen-
eral destruction of birch trees in
ornamental planting has occurred
lie the last foul' or five years
thronghoitt some sections that the
attention of a great many people
•leas been attracted to the Ioss. Sev-
eral theories have been advanced
for the gradual dying of the bireh
trees, but the real cause is the
bronze colored beetle, .-
• The small white larva of the
bronze .birch -borer burrows just 'be-
neath the bark, eating its way ir-
.regularly around the trunk and
limbs of the tree in the sap -bearing
layers, leaving winding galleries of
castings and cutting off the flow of
sap beyond the point attacked. On
the younger branches these wind-
ing galleries are revealed by the
c,oereeponding ridges on the exter-
ior of the limb.
No adequate remedy has been
found to combat this pest, although
a heavy coating of whitewash ap-
plied in spring before egg laying
begins might prove a valuable
check. It is always advisable to
cut out and burn all infested limbs
very early each year before the
adults emerge.
Until this serious infestation
passes over, it is not advisable to
plant any birches, for loss of the
tree is almost sure to result.
Disinfecting Cow Stables.
Disinfectants cannot destroy
germs if they do not come into di-
rect contact with them. Disinfec-
tants should be applied in sufficient
quantity thoroughly to saturate the
surfaces,
after the aclheritig part-
icles of dirt are removed. In the
application of the disinfectant in
cow stables, it is well to use a
broom or stiff brush and thoroughly
scrub the oor, feed troughs,
stanchions and lower parts of the
walls. The solation can be applied
to the ceilings and upper parts of
the side walls with a spray pump,
and must be carried into any crev-
ice and recess into which diet can
enter.

Remarkable Decline in Immigration

• There'has beeri aerenmekable fall-

during the present year, according
to the steamship companies eon!:
eerned in this traffie. It is put
down to the present high level of
wages and the continued trade
boom which give men employment
in England. Despite this, however,
Canada continues to get a very
large number of emigrants from
England and Scotland, so there are
probably other .causee for the de-
crease in the Australian figures.
This loss in traffic has been .felt
rather seriously by the steamship
lines running to the South Seas.
Last year there was a tremendous
demand for passages to Australia
and New Zealand, and to meet this
trade the steamship companies in-
creased the accommodations on
each vessel and also put on new
steamers. To -day the Alps; are
