In the interests of market gardeners and small fruit' cultivators, this note on Raspberry Leaf Curl has been prepared at the Field Laboratory In Southern Ontario at St. Catharines. and is Ise sued by the Central Experimental Farm: Ottawa. This disease has been known for some time, both under the above name, as well as under the name of Raspberry 'Yellows, Since the curling of the leaves le the most outstanding feature in con- nection with the disease, It is preferable to use the term Raspberry Leaf Curl. The disease affects elle leaves and Moots. and is often confined, to a aingle bush or part of a bush, some of the shoots being perfectly normal, and oth- ers with the leaves affetted. The af- fected shoots, instead of pz.oducing nor- mal large, broad leave.% bear leaves Widen are conspicuously small and badly curled downwards . In the early stagee Ibis symptom 15 not so pronounced, ana, while a small amount of curling may occur then, the disease is more notice- able on account of the yellowing 'which takes piece during the summer because of the unhealthy state of the foliage. Since yellowing cf the leaves may be due to a nurener of other causes. such as wet feet, poor soil, drought, etc. It is best to detertnine the (Meese mainly AY the Leaf Curl aymptons. . In the advanced stages, the canes hear no fruit. When first attacked, they flower alniost normally, but the fruit Is small and dry, and shrivels up before ripening, so that little or no fruit is ever produced from an infected bush. Of the three varieties which are -commonly grown In the Niagara district, Cuthbert, Marlbrough and Herbert, the Herbert seems to be freest from, the disease. ceptible, but one sees signs of Leaf Curl in the Herbert. So far as is known the disease is net duo •to any parasitic organism. It ap- parently belongs to that type of trouble Vehicle has been called physiological dis- ease; and could therefore be put Into the same class with peach yellows and little peach, and the mosien disease of tomatoes, tobacco, potatoes and so forth. No records are available as to how the disease Is brought into the field in the first place, nor how it Is transmitted from one plant to another. It undoubt- edly does spread once it becomes estab- lished in a plantation, and many fine plantations are knowa to have . been • greatly injured by the presence of a largo number of Leaf Curl plants. If he disease corresponds closely with the SMOKE TUCKETTS' mosittc ot yellow disease, one- would sus- pect .that It is earrled either by insect or pruning operations. •• Although too little is known about Leaf. Curl to advise a sure means of -control, one should always remove the affected plants as soon as they ehow signs of disease, They are ef no use in any case, and are likely to spread the disease to other parts of the plantation. In 'taking out Leaf Curl plants, one should be careful to get the -whole root system, otherwise the parts that are left wIU start to grow and produce new Shoots, which will also show 'Leaf Curl. It is possible that some of our Leaf Curl originates from nursery cuttings, and some care shoulud be taken when set- ting out a new plantation, to avoid this disease. THE COST OF MUTTON PRODUCe TION. The scarcity of wool and meat has given a new Impetus to the sheep bread- ing Industry in Canada, and once It be-. comes again firmly established .as a com- mon terra industry, and the benefits corning from It are fully recognized, the 'writer feels confident that it will not again go Into decline. Teas class of stock, while enjoying to the full the benefit of the increased high prices of the producte produced, is prob- ably the one which has been affected the least by inereased cost of production, common to the products from other clas- ses of. stock. This is due to the fact that the feed consumed consists largely of homegrown roughages and grains, thus eliminating, to a large extent, the purchase of high priced concentrates. It is also due, in part, to the feet that very little labor is required to handle a flock, so -that the inoreased price of labor has not the same effeet. To arrive at the cost of mutton pro- duction, many factors must be taken in- to cotsideration. It may be safely con- kidered that the value accruing from the manure produced and weeds destroyed fully °Mete the labor expended. From the reeerds of the breeding and feeding tvorie at the Central Experimental Farm, the remaining factors in the cost of pro- duction of year old mutton may be tabu- lated as follows: 'Cost of feed in maintaining ewe from weaning of one lamb to weaning of next $5.00 Intereet on value of ewe $30,000 at 6 per cent 1,20 Service charged and mci.inenance efrani e.. ............ .35 Omit of feeding Iamb from wean- • Jag till SIM/thing at one year old a 6.72 • --- 413.57 • Wool from ewe (7 pounds at 60c ter lb,) . .•• ... 4.20 ost of 120 pounds mutton . 9.67 due of 100 potmds mnttort Sprang: 1910 .• ... 17.75 Cost of 100 pounds mutton a . .8.06 Profit Per 100 pounds $ 96 Thie is a profit of $11.63 per larn13.192 but one lamb is raised per ewe.

CONTROL OF SWARMING. One IR the greatest preteen's. In bee- keeping to -day Im the control of !Marne - lag. It is natural for a strong colony of bees to swatm in early summer, wire honey is coming in, but the brealeing of the colony cuts down the honey yield; while watching for the hiving swarms takes a great deal ot the beekeeper's time, and the swarm may escape no- tiee and fly away. The method of controlling swarming that have been teeted at the Central Ex- perimental Farm, Ottawa, fall under three heads. (1) General measures. Partly shad- ing the apiary; providing a large en- trance 'with eleep space between combs and floor:keying plenty of roomette the ch brood a ber and supers; and Young queens. 'hese measures, while valu- able, have been found insufficient in themselves to prevent the bees front rais- ing queens in preparation for warming. (2) Manipulation to prevent more than one swarm, The queen's wings are clipped, preeers.bly during the fruit - bloom, and when a prime swarm holies and is still in the air, the queen 13 Pick- ed up from the ground and placed In a cage, and the hive ls rem:wed to a new stand. A. new hive containing the caged queen Is then placed on the old atend to receive the returning swarm, the queen being liberated later. The field bees loin the swarm again. To make cer- tain of this, however, the parent hive may be merely turned around and not removed to the distant amid untll ive days. later. This method of swarm con- trol necessitateimmediate attention when the swerm issues, but, as the manipulations are simple, they- an of- ten be carried out by the home folks should the beokeper bo away. (3) Manipulations to 'prevent swarm- ing altogether. At the time elf writing, none of the manipulations that have been tried has succeeded except the cut- ting out of all queen -cells every seven or eight day, and this failed during a heavy honey flow front clover at Otta- wa in 1916, when the bees raised queens from worker larvae, and swarms issued before the queen -cells were capped over. It has, however,, been found possible to prevent swarming In out -apiaries, forty miles north of Ottawa, by this means, although It entailed weekly vis - Its from the middle of May until the middle of August, and much time was spent in examining each colony. Experiments in the control of swarm- ing are being continued, eepecially along the following lines, which seem the most promising: - (1) Testing systems of raising .1cfrood to the super. Many of these will de- lay swat -Ming under some conditions. (2). Finding means by whieh the brood chamber may be easily examined with- out lifting off the supers. A. hide in which the brood combs awe in a rack that can be drawn out sideways le be- ing tried.

The correction of anaemic conditions by Dr. William's Pink Pills is as certain as anything in medical sciences. Miss Jessie 'McLean, Trenton, N.

THE KITCHEN STOVE. '5•' Some Useful Hints aS to %Its Control. t " ' There is not• an article of furniturell in the house that approaches in im- portance the homely kitchen stove. yet there are many women who have only a hazy knowledge of its workings.and while they manipulate drafts and dampers with more or lees stictieee, could not give you the reason for it. For their benefit it few points on the management of a eoal stove are given in The alauketing and Housework Manual. Their observance will help materially in the, eaving of fuel: Chimney damper: A flat plate, which when shu0.1searly closes the space opening into the chimney; when closed the heat goes round the oven and heats it; when open the heat goes directly up the chimney—the fire burns More tumidly but the oven does not heat. These dampers may be closed in ten to fifteen minutes after the fire is started. Drafts—Doors or elides below the fire box which, when open, allow a strong current of air to pass -up through the fire; this causes rapid eembustion and if the chimney damp- er is closed the oven heats quickie'. 'When the drafts are closed the fire burns more elowly, avmost of the air Is shut out, Checks: Slides in the email door above the fire box and itt the chimney pipe which, when open, let cold air in on top of -the fire, force•the heat back and deaden the blaze. There must be free circulation of air through the fuel—air spaces between the paper, wood and coal. Aid enteritig the stove under the fire causes all upward draft and makes it burn faster. Lack of air under the fire cheeks it. Cold air over the draft checks. With the draft and the chitnneY open, the fire burns fiercely, the toll of the stove grows very hot, but the oven is not heated. Proper use of checks and drafts Wilt control a fire. Ashes in the pan When yott start a fire will absorb the heat at first.

Then the bird slowly marched over to a log ten feet from our camp fireput his head under his wing and went to sleep. We iwakened the grouse by holding our hands in the form of it cup, then beating the ground with the cup -palm to imitate the drumming of it grouse. The bird took his head from under his wing, looked around nervously for a moment, then inflated his lungs with air, ruffled up his feathers, stood up straight, spread his tail out like a fan on the back of the log, and aruewered our drumming with its wings. This he did by beating his wings backward and forward,. slowly at first, then increasing in rapidity, until the wings formed only a, blur, like the wings of a humming -bird when it hovers over a flower. There is not one person in a hundred theusand who ever sat within a few feet of the grouse and Saw him drum, There is not one person in a hundred thousand who et -Ter saw a grouse, drum even at a distance; very few woods- men or field naturalists have ever wit- nessed thee. 44 • Drives Asthma Like Magic.—The immediate Well) from Dr. J.

For building they rank next to the stone of Istria In popularity and are true marbles, while the stone of Istria is not a true marble, although a very hard lime- stone that is much used in Venice, be- cause it resists the action of salt water and sea winds, Besides their 'value for construction the Veronese marbles are in great de- mand for decorative work. Among the names of the several varieties of Ver- onese marbles are: White nembro, coral pink, white peach, partridge eye, yellow snail, yellow azure and para - Hee, A few years before the war a num- ber of famous, structures were built or decorated *1th Veronese marbles. In Vienna the palaces of the exchange the munlcipality and the parliament were adorned with the red, white and yellow marbles of St. Ambrogie and with stone of Incaffi. The postal pal- ace at Verona used the red nembro of St, Ambrogio and the facade of the postal palace at Zurich is adorned with the red and yellow marbles of St. Ambrogice The Duke of Bruns- wick's monument at Geneva is made of red marble from Valpentina. Vien- na in recent years' has made eztensive tive furniture. The marbles are of excellent quality and are variegated in lute from the light yellow of alabastar to dark yel- low, from ashy to gray, from pale skin - colored pink to blood red and vermil- lion, and are also speckled, shaded, spotted, girdled, streaked, veined, p10 - DRS.

The production of granular stone in the Verona district in the year 1913 was about 6,000 tons, equal to that of 1912, and about 1,000 tons less than the production of the year 1911, This loss was largely due to the building crisis and curtailment of all but ne- cessary conseauction works. Granular stones serve not only for pavements, but for the construction of baths and basins, ornamental columns, flower pots, blocks • of artificial marble, etc. The second Marble quarrying dis- trict in importance in the Veneto is that of Vicenza, which produces the varioussorts of "Pietre di Chiampo," and of "Pietre. di Valdisole." Large quantities of building stones and mar- bles were ehipped to the United States a few years ago by the In- dustrial Marmi Vicentini of Vicenza, The Genoese marbles are very beau- tiful, but are used only for decorative work, as they crumble easily. The Belgian black marble is often used for making the table surface for ornamen- tal carved woods, desks, and for other art uses. The Carrara marbles of the finer quality for use of the sculptors vary greatly in price, according to the di- mensions of the block required, as a flaw would often spoil an entire block. Fine quality white Carrara often costs 800 to 1,000 lire ($154.40 and $133) and more per cubic meter.
