BLACK KNOT IN PLUM TREES The best treatment for black knot in plum trees is to cut out the knots due - lug the winter season, going away down into the healthy wood, and paint the wound with a strong solution of copper sulphate in water. Worms on currant helms will be easily killed by dusting the leaves as soon as they are noticed with powdeeed hellebore or Paris green, Both remedies are effectual, but the hellebore has the advantage of not be- ing poisoneus to man or animal.-Ruraf New Yorker.

COW TESTING ASSOCIATION. Dominion Department of Agriculture, branch of the Dairy, and Cold Storage Commissioner. In one cow testing association the average production of 126 cows was 520 lbs. milk and. 20 lbs. fat, not very much below the average or exactly 126 cows in another association close by, which was 009 lbs. milk and 26 lbs. fat. But notice how tremendously that compara- tively small difference 'affects the total. yield; for in the one ease the 120 cows gave in the month 86,845 lbs. milk and. 3,267 lbs. fat, but the other lot of 126 cows gave only 65,546 lbs. milk and 2,510 lbs. fat, or allowing butter fat to be worth 25 cents per lb., actually a difference of $189.25 in one month. Why are not thousands more of our dairy cows intsde to earn an extra dollar and a half per month for their owners? When the owners are perfectly certain through having tested each cow in the herd individually which animals Are bringing in a good profit, then the aver- age yield and the total income can be largely increased. , Another contrast shows that 100 cows In one assoeiation produced just twenty- seven pounds of fat less than 72 cows in another association ten nines away; there were thus 25 cows more to be milked, and to have capital locked up in, and to tramp around on the pas- tures eating good feed that the other cows could have used to better advan- tage for twenty-seven pounds less fat. i Weighing and testing, s the quickest and .surest way of retesting those that and surest way of detesting those that 0.]?. W. CARE OF CURRANT BUSHES. Set your -currant bushes quite deep, and let them get a good grip of the soil, for if they do notgan open winter has a way of getting 'under the roots and heaving them out. I always mulch them heavily with coal ashes, or some °thee good mulch, and the ground. must be kept clean. If set where quack groes has the slightest hold, it will tangle it- self into the roots and filially beat you. The soil should also be very thoroughly underdraihes1 with etone or tile. While the currant likes a moist soil it menet endure a wet or mucky place, The tows ehould be about six feet apart, leaving sufficient toom for the cultivathr, and this should be run coostautly until pick- ing begins. The bushes ehould just about reach ,over to cult other with their tips, It is well enough to shade the ground, but leaving the bushes open to sunshine and air, Trimming tthe currant is simple affair, after you have once solved it; but do not let an inexperienced hand get hold of the job, for he will be likely to work mischief. You must tut .oat most ef tbe now shoota or suckers, which aro likely to be abundant. If these grov they will take the lifo from the larger stalks, and you will soon have a mass of dead wood, ana of live wood that cannot produce fruit, The old wood should never be mg until it•gets brittle and eaft be replaced with new stems, Thet is, allow one or two of the very beet of the new canes to remain, provid• oci you 15'ett a probable need of thorn.

Miller.) The four hundredth anniversary of Calvin's birth has enriched the literature of the world. He stends at the head of over five millions of Presbyterians on the great continents and the great col- onies of the British Empire, Iembers of the Establish Church of England, be- sides other bodies, may easily add sev- eral millions more to the followers of John Calvin. Some people think that Calvinism is dying or dead, but reaurree- tion light still shines on the world, • "ef the thought of Calvin the dogmatism seems harsh,. let as nolt-forget that it was at the same time °Alvin, the great- est inductive scripture commentator of his age, and. 0110 of the greatest of any age, that propounda the thought.

Let him receive it who can re- eeive it, or let hint go through life a shrivelled -up man; an atteneated theol- ogy can only result in an S.ttenuated character, "Calvin plctcea at the foundation of his thoughts not the sovereignty of God, but God. who is a sovere,ign, Darwin launched his magnificent dream, an planted the beams of his chambers on the waters.

Their Output From 90,00e to 70,000 Pair a YeareaCarefts1 Housing and Qood. -Feeding Necessary -More Profitable and Less Vexations .1 Than Poultry,. • 'When inimodse flocks of wild pigeons abounded in the American forests al a ventury or two ago it was perhaps no unusual thing to see 20,- 000 of these birds gathered together. But sitich a sight is rare to -day. In- deed there is probably but one place in the ,,entire United States where so largo 04 flock bt pigeons can be found, and that is on a pigeon farm near the little town of North Wales in southee.stirn Pennsylvania. • The birds are housed in a series of large, airy buildings and provided with clean and comfortable nests, an abundance of choice food and a suf- ficient screened outdoor space where- in to exercise their wings. All day long the gentle cooing of the thous- ands of birds gives musical proof of their contentineut. In return far their board arid lodgings they are expected to hatch out as many squabs as pos- sible and rear them until they are fit for the market, Prom this farm is obtairsed the greater proportion of the sguaba that go to the markets of New York, Philadelphia and the variouS winter and summer resorts of the East. Pigeon raisireg, says E. 0, Cum. mings, the man who founded and de- veloped this. farm, is more profitable and less vexatious than poultry els- Ing, provided the inan who under- takes it thoroughly understand e the habits and the needs of pigeons, Almost every one knows something about -raising chickens, or thinks he does, and four town dwellers out et five like to dreani of a time in the future when they may own. little places out in the country and raise chickens and supply eggs for the oity markets. But pigeon raising 6h large scale and solelyfor profit has been undertaken in few iustaneeS thue far, notwithstanding the high prices which squabs command. To begin, no incubators are required in raising pigeons, and thus an im- portant item of expense necessary on the poultry farm is saved. Pigeons are remarkable for their monogamous habits, and when once the cock and the hen are suitably mated they re - mein firmly attached to each other, Both assume equal shares in the duties of their household, including the incubation of the eggs and the care of the young. However, the mate ter of mating must be well studied to avoid losses, for in a xnesmated or ill assorted pen the cocks, unlike the proverbial dove of peace, are like, ly to crette great havoc, destroying squabs and eggs in fighting for the possesion of nests. At the Cummings farni all is harmony, for only well mated birds are introduced into the pens. As each pair of pigeons rear six or seven pairs of squa.bs in a year and as the wholesale price ot squabs is from $3 to $6 a dozen it is apparent that there is opportunity for consider, able profit on a farm where 10,090 emirs of pigeons are expected to de - vete themselves solely to the breed- ing; of squabs. • The squabs Are naked and helpless little creatures and require careful attention. Almost invariably there are jest two in a nest. Their method of feeding is unique. The .squab 114. setts It beak into that of either of the parent bird e and from the lining of the parent's crop the squab obtains a creamy secretion. After a few days the food that the parents have con. - Burned is minged with this seeretion, and thus nourishment is provided for the little ones for ebout nine_ days. When they are twenty to twenty-five days old they are ready for market. To reduce the death rate of squabs to a minimum is the chief concern ef the pigeon farmer. On the Cum- mings farm success has been. attained - through proper construction of build- ing rad strict cleanliness. The roofs are impervious to rain and snow, but there is abundant, ventilation. Con- crete floors keep out rate, a particu- larly voracious foe of squabo. The Vetere are covered with a thin layer of sand and air slaked Iime, and once a week this is raked, The buildings are divided into pens 8 by 16 feet in dimensions. Compartments for nests are built in six tiers, giving each pair of birds two siesta, and at the weekly cleaning air slaked lime is sprinkled into the nests. In every pen is a quantity of tobacco steins, refuse from cigar factories, and with these the birds contruct their nests. The tobaoco stems keep away vermin, Whieh would abound if hay or straw were Utilized in the nests. Plenty of clean bathing water is auk plied. le waiter a hot water heating system maintains an even temperature in the buildings, saving many a squab that otherwise would perish from the cold. But et feeding time all the windows are opened, no matter how cold or wet the weather. Fee a "fly" there is a yard running the length of each building and enclosed with wire netting at the sides and top, fifty cubic feet of spew being allowed for each pair of birds, With such care it is bat eatural that the pigeons &meld thrive and veer large • and healthy squabs. The few birds that seminal) to sickness are reznoved .to a special hospital building for treatinent. Mr. Cummings began to experiment With pigeons seven years ago, starting with 200 pairs of birds on his farna about •a Mile'south of North Wales, hi Montgomery toutty. Sine() then he • has enlarged his plant from year to year, until at present six ememodiouti build- ings are in use. The largest and neat - 'est of those, erected at a cost of 80,760, Is MO foot long, sixteen foot wide and • Iwo storiesultigh, and in it 7,000 birds are housed. On the farm of seventy-two °ores all the feed required for the birde is groWn. Speaking of the feeding of pigeons, Cuminings says that if comma sense is used it is not nearly so lomat- taut what is fed as how and when. The proportions on his farm' in winter are about as follows: COM, 40 per oent.; wheat, 16 per etitt,; Kaffir coin, 10 per cent.) screenings, 10 per dent.; hemp, 5 per cent.; repo and millet seed, 5 per cent. In summer less corn is fed, but more peas and wheat, together with hulled ottts, Green growing things are iiot necessary for pigeons, though they eat the blades of grass growing in the AVIaries, As to the "hew and when" of feeding Mr. Cummings stye: "The ob ett of proper teeelieg is to keep the old birds healthy, slot tco fat end lazy, and to predate brigs fat 90* REPAINTING SHADES.

It May be Done by Coaxing, Lunging There are three reeDmrievtihnogds of teaching a horse to leap -coaxing, lunging and driving. In the coaxing method the young horse is turned into a small pad- dock having a low hedge or hurdle ,across the centre. In plain view of the pupil a ride on a veteran juraper sev- eraltime should take ke him over this hurdle The trainer then goes to the opposite side with a measureof corn or oats and calls the horse, shaking up the grain and pouring it with his hand back and forth in the receptacle. The boundary will soon' be cleared, and when a few mouthfuls have been eaten the station of the instructor should be at the other side of the hurdle and .the lesson re- peated. If this be done daily the hurdle may be gradually heiglitened. The habit of jumping is thus acquir, ed without those risks which attend a novel performance vvhen a heavy bur- den oppresses the strength and whip and spur distract the attention. The horse's body, says ,Country Life in America, is not partially distilled by the imposition of a heavy load before the powers are taxed to the utraost and his capabilities are unfettered. - The second method is termed lunging. A. long rein or cord is attached to the bit and the animal is exereised in a circle in which a hurdle has been placed or a shallow ditch dug. A long lashed -whip, used only to keep' lain in motion, or lightly applied at the propel:" moment,, will keep -him up to his svork. Soon the horse will enter into the t.prit of the occasion, and by unraistakaole signs will manifest his enthusiastic en- joyment of the exercise. The third method, driving, is exactly what its. name implies. At first the obstruction should be slight. A.ny open space will answer the purpose, an earth or sod surface or tanbark being prefer- able. Long nine, a straight . bar or snaffle bit, a long whip and patience and perseverance are required. All things considered, the driving method is the quickest and surest way of teaching the horse to leap. When he has become somewhat proficient, having thoroughly learned what is re- quired of him, the saddle may be called • into requisition and the practical les- sons begun. Almost any young horse can be taught 'to leap. Of course his proficiency will depend on the care bestowed 00 his training and on his general characteris- tics of wind, jimb and nerve. An ordin- ary cob or Morgan will attain the pro- ficiency of an Irish hunter, butany horse that is used for a saddler will be of far greater value to his owner if he can be taken occasionally for a meta • country ride and put over ditches and low obstruction.. 4 • Sun Cooking. Sun cooking -roasting and boiling by sunlight instead of by coal or gas -has been going on for three hundred years. There are sun stoves that roast a sirloin or boil a soup to perfection. They are only used, however, by scientists. A sun stove consists mainly of a mirror, a spherical mirror, on a joint. There is ' also a reflector. The place for pot or plate is so situated that the mirror's rays can be focussed on its accurately. A German, Baron Tcherliausen, was the first sun cook. Ile bean in 1687 to boil water, and in 1688 he hiad yery good meccas in boiling eggs. Sir John Hers- chel and Button are other famous names associated with sun 000king. In Cali- fornia various sun crooks have boiled a gallon of water in twenty minutes, roasted meat in tow hours and poached eggs in fifteen minutes -quite as good thne As the ordinary fire makes. An odd thing about meat roasted by sun rays is that it lias an unpleasant taste. This ie avoided by the insertioe of a plate of yellOw glass between meat and mirror. In all solar stoves the sheet of yellow glass figures. -Tit Bits. •• • Decline of Ancient English Fair. • After beteg' held -annually for 800 years Stow Green pleasure fair has pracs teeny ceased to exist, Established by charter of If enry 111, it tanked as oho of the largest fairs in 'England for merthandise and lasted three weeks.
