The Fruit Division of the Doman-
lion Department of, lrlgriculiture, Ot.
'yawl, issues the following warning
'to fruit :growers f, It is to be fear -

This insect attacks only pear

discovered in nearly all pear growing

chards more than twp or three
!'sprayings. As Mr. MacKinnon
Warts out, the cool, motet weather
etc peculiarly favorable to the de-
rvolopment of fungous .gro.wthee, a,nd
ftt is only by seizing every oppor-
tunity and spraying whenever a
*lay or two of dry weather comes
Wong that sound, clean fruit can
be secured. Wet weather should be
^flirt incentive to greater diligence in
•eprayineg, rather than an excuse for
not spraying. Eternal vigilance is
the price of safety in fruit growl-
ing, and it behooves every one who
desires a full crop of first-class
fruit to spray early and often.
Orchid Cultivation.
There is a dali,ger on accournt of
the wet weather, orchards will not
receive their usual cultivation,
which is urgently needed to destroy
weeds, aerate the soil, and con-
verve soil moisture for - future use.
If the ground; is not stirred it bakes,
cracks open and evaporation goes
on rapidly. By stirring the sail
through frequent cultivation, thus
keeping a loose mulcts on the sur-
face, capillarity is broken up and
moisture retained. As soon as it is
possible, therefore, to get on the
ground after a. .stain, the cultivator
should be started in the orchard,
and kept going as steadily as time
and weather will permit.
Pear Lear Blister Mite'
The Fruit Division, Ottawa, sends
the following information with re-
ferrenoe to this pest, to Mr. It. Bray,
Walkerton. Ont.: The pear leaves
Shown at tho Farmers' Institute
meeting at Teeswater are infected
with tele Pear Leaf Baster Mite (Phy-
toptus pyrI). This insect is sometimes
quite prevalent, and although it
spreads slowly from tree to true, is
likely to do much harm. Dr. Fletcher,
Dominion Entomologist, treats of
this !newt in his report for 1505,
pager 160. He recommends as t'he most
practical remedy the use of the kero-
'Thee "King" is one of the favorite
varieties of apples in the market, but
unforeunately it is so shy a bearer
on its own roots that it is not at all
profitable. It has, however, frequent-
ly been noted that by top -grafting
lt! on any vigorous stook it becomes
mach more. prolific.
The Fruit Division, Ot't wa, ' in-
vited correspondence upon this sub-
ject, and has received some valuable
Lnrforma.tion. Mr. C. L. Stephens, of

ris, of Ingersoll, has an orchard of
two and a half acres, the crop from
which for the past eight years has
never brought hem less than :;$500,
Many elf the trees are Kings, graft-

It 'would be ,a very profitable piece
of business to eopgraft at least some

over Ontario, with Kings. The King

"The fact that Sou1 was permit+
ted to return again ,to private life
shows that there was considerable
disappointment over Alis election.
There may dilave been a feeling that
he was too obscure a person and
of insufficient age and experience
to be 'suddenly advanced to the
head of 'the nation." it lv',as no

1. Samuel's integrity (vs. 1-5).
Samuel, though' ha was still to re-
tain his influence and authority as
prophet, now decides that the time
has come for toe public surrender
of his office as judge, or ruler.
"There must have been a mighty
struggle in %Tis bosom when he ut-
tered this valedictory to the peo-
ple whose interests had been the
burden of his !heart and prayers
for so many years. The nation
had now reached a new era in its
development, and its future weal
or woe depended on the people's
obedience to the oommalydments of
God. Thfs impressive truth) the
venerable prophet seeks, through-
out his entire address, to fasten
indelibly upon their minds."

hevait's past mercies and upbraids

ner in welch) God had delivered

the other world -awaiting the ac-
tion of their descendants to per-
mit them to ascend into the "celes-
tial" kingdom, which is reserved for
the elect. Consequently the lead-
ers of the Young family, several
nears ago, undertook to trace back
their ancestry as far :is they
could go, and provide for all whose
relationship could be shown an en-
try into the highest of the other
worlds.
They have gone to the early part
of the eighteenth century already
learning that the first ancestor of
Brigham Young, who came tc Am-
erica, was a resident tie the Provi-
dence Plantations, being one of the
early settlers. Other ancestors
served in the Indian wars, and one
fought with distinction in the War
of the Revolution. Efforts are nosy
being made to trace the relation-
ship across the Atlantic and carry
the family records as far as possible
into England, the plan being to go
back to 400 A. D., if any records
can be found, welch, of course, be
out of the question, in view of the
State of England about that time.
Whenever a new ancestor is found
one of the memberts of the family,
who is engaged in what is known as
the "temple 'work," goes to the big
temple in this city and passes
through various peculiar cereeno-
niece akin to those of the "endow-
ment," so called, by -ivliich a novice
le initiated into the mysteries of
the church. This worker takes the
name of the person for whom tbe
rite is to be performed, is anointed
with oil and baptized, and then
goes through various secret cere-
monies.
The worker in the final degree as-
cends into a room. representing the
"terrestrial" kingdom. This IS
painted fantastically to represent a
condition of disorder in the world,
with birds and beasts fighting,
storms blowing and disaster on
every hand. &.nether room repre-
sents the "eelestial" kingdom, where
peace reigns, but still one is bound
to earthly things. The "celestial"
roomis a handsomely fitted up place
hung with costly fabrics and ablaze
with light, with the ceiling covered
with eluerters of fruit and vines ar-
ranged to give the idea that here
one garners all the rewards of the
world.
