A FEW DON'TS.
Don't fail , to spray every season, It
is impossible to determine in advance
whether or, not the plant or. tree will be
attacked. Proper spraying is 1 ever in-
jurious.
Don't wait till the fungi have attacked
plantor tree; the fungicide are merely
preventatives and should be used early
in the spring. . After the disease has
developed it may be too late to save the
pIant.
Don't spray during or just after a
shower orUwhen there has been•, a heavy
dew. Much of the solution svill be.
washed- off or it will collect in spots.
Wait till the leaves are dry. Polson is
more effective when applied to the` leaves
when dry. •
Don't spray tiletops of the leaves
only; spray the under Bides where the
pests hide,. and be careful to keep your
liquid thoroughly aigitated.
Don't give up spraying because you
do' not see any benefit from your work.
Perhaps you` did not spray early enough
to Prevent the bugs, perhaps y u did
not use' the right formula, dr were not
careful in feel preparation, perhaps you
curl net spray thoroughly and ofttri
.enough. Try again, •
Don't buy a, spryer from an a en-tote:1
manufacturer. If your sprayer. gets out,
of order,:. or if you break some part, it
may be diflieult to get repaired. Geed
aiprayers with proper eare last for years
end all parts ardv easily and quickly
duplicated.
Don't buy a bucket sprayer and ex.
pet to spry ran oichard with it. Buy
ai sprayer large enough to do your
work quickly and, easily and if s4t a cio
not know the oize you want, trite us

THE LARGE BLACK PIG.
The.,Large Blacks are the latest addi-
tion to the list of registered pure breeds
in England. Little appears to be known
regarding their° origin, but they have
been bred for many years in the south
and east of England. They are practi-
tally unknown . on this continent,
though a few of them were brought to
the Central Experimental. Farm at Otta-
wa a few years ago, and we are not
aware that the�y,,•hav : earned any especial
claim to i in this country, , though
they appe r to aining , some ground
in the Old Land.
'They are a large breed, all black„ in`
color. The ears are large and drooping,
and the ;general type ' of the animal in-
clines to coarseness. They are a prolific
breed, and it is claimed that .they excel
as bacon producers, • though , those
brought to Ottawa proved in that re-
spect much inferior to some of the
other breeds kept there. •
The scale of points adopted by the
Large Black • Pig Society of Great- Bri-
tain calls for a head of medium length,.
and wide between the ears; ears long,
thin, and • inclined, well over the • face;
jowl medium size; ,neck fairly long and
Muscular shoulders, smooth, oblique,
and with narrowlate; back long ' end
level (rising • a' lithe to centre of back
not ,objected to); sides° very deep;. . ribs
well sprung; loin broad; quarters long,
wide, arid' net .dropping; • lianas large,
and well. filled- to hocks; tail set high,
and not coarse; lege short and, straight;
belly and- flank thick and well filled;
ski " fine and soft; coat moderate
quan-
tity f straight, silky hair.
RIOTOUS SlIETLANIJEllS.
Fishermen Resent Intrusion of South -
Riots " are: in progress in Shetland. A
sheriff was recently • hustled by deter-
mined. fishermen, and would have been
thrown into the sea if all the available'
constabulary had" not defended him with
drawn batons.
The trouble has arisen from the fact
that fishermen from a distance ignore
the regulations made by the local fisher-
men with regard to the opening of the
herring season.
A steam. drifter from Yarmouth was
the outside` boat to attempt to . land a
catch at Scallowey. A .great crowd
gathered, and 'as fast as the herrings
were landed they were scattered all
over the pier. The same treatment
was accorded to every drifter that came
in, and the local' authorities telegraphed
for the police, ;
The -chief came.with all the constables
he could muster, but the local fishermen
continued to threaten the risen. on the
drifters. Therefore the 'sheriff was sum -
monocle and it was while he was .eaau-
tioning the fishermen- that they hustled
him.•
It is feared that there will be serious
riots all over the islands..

'little heart of Larry's thumping at an
as unusual -rate ageirt§t his ribs.
leis He scented actiott in the air, and
es mentally groaned to remember that
ad whatever was conning he must meet it

r,r daring spirit upon which he had been
of so accustomed to lean:
aid "Pardon me for acting as. I have done,

g- Confusion! you alarm me, you do,, by

Iy ' That covered the' whole question, as
a it were, in a nutshell—what was .up ?
"I became. _ anxious and thought it

11 expected offer, it was so generous, so
t noble, for no mah could • be better eo-

easily as one does .a top coat•when the

- "At any rate, that's just what l mean

be beastly, glad to wipe `it' all out, and

touched a. sympathetic chord in Larry's
heart.
They shook hand again.
