The follo ing, from the same paper, is writter in reply. . to these articles, and giving the other side of the question. 1 . .I confine myself chiefly to two as- sentions elf the Maine farmer, Mr. J. L, Dean: He supposes a case, takes- it as his major premise, conducts an argument, and prove to his ownsatisfaction that the farm r and his two sons get for their wor only 5.09 cents each per hour, or j st a little less; all three to- gether, parsnips, th n their hired man got.

If these -things go through aleiornimssion house, the latter gets a small percen- .tage as commission. If tntough a re- tail grocer, also, with'distnnt delivery of quarts and pounds, and ;with credit and the eost of bettlekeepieg, collecting and of •bad debts, of course the cost to the consumer is greatly 'increased.

CUCUMBER MOSAIC The attention of cueuniber growers is directed to a disease that serious- ly affects the yield of this plant, by the pathological service of the Dom- inion Experimental Farms. This service maintains field stations in sev- eral districts, so chosen as fo afford facilities for the observation of par- ticular crops, and for experimental work in coralnattinn their special dis- e,aTsehseM . .?--osaic disease of cucumbers is not well known in..Ontario gaidens but of late it has begun, to appear more frequently. and groWers should be onehe watch for it ecent inves- tigations indicate that there are three types or kinds of Mosaic to b6 met with on cucumbers, of wbich one is ryi damaging. This is the White kle ki!tosaic, which greatly dwarfs th plants and causes the fruit to grow in a lumpy, misshapen condition. The distortion in the fruit is due to ir- regular growth. Certain areas 4e - come sickly, assume a light -yellow or nearly white eolore entii ,grow very poorly. The remainder of ths surface is normal, retainvits dark green color and grows much faster, tiro produc- ing dintorted leaves or lumpy fruit. In the other two types the leaves re the parts -most affected. In one of- ese types the leaves: are mottled with lighter, yellowish green areas and the plant is weakened and dwarf- ed, thus reducing the yield. The mot- tled leaf Mosaie is not so elarnitging as the White Pickle type. The third type is known as the Speckled Leaf Mosaic and while the leaves become spotted with sickly areas, as the name indicates, this form of the disease is net considered to, be very damaging. Like other Mosaic diseases‘these cu- cumber troubles are transrnissable from one plant to another though they are apparently not clue to any fungus or bacterial parasite. If the juice of a diseased plant be injected into a helthy plant, the disease will be pro- duced, and in thefield, transfer of this kind is thought to be brought about by means of sucking insects. It has been foinul that the comMon wild cucumber also suffers from this trouble and that insects will earry. it from these wild plants to the clam- ated crop in spring. It is not thought to be carried to any considerable ex- tent in the seed- • - In view of the transmissable nature of the disease, it is advisable to de- steoy affected plants and to burn up the dead vines in the fall. east SEAFORTH PUBLIC SCHOOL Based on the results of tile annual June tests, the pupils' attendance and class -work throughout ,the year, the following .prornotions have been grant- ed.
