AGRICULTURAL. Tuld of Bittr P* (bw- Dairymen who furniih milk to creamsr lea are entitled only to the actual value of the milk turniahed. Good batter cow* are moit profitable. The Holitein-Prieman As- ociation of America ha* taken another for- ward step that miut commend itself to every one interested in the improvement of dairy cattle. At iti annual meeting, held on March 16th. it adopted the following amendment to it* advanced registry rule* : " A cow shall also be eligible to this re fiitry on a record of pure batter fat. deter- mined by a composite test of sample* of her milk, of equal quantities, taken from the whole milking after u u thoroughly stirreti and mixed. The composite teat hall be mule by the Rabcock or other equally accurate apparatus or method, ap- proved by the American association of of- ficial agricultural chemists. The total amount of milk produced by the cow daring the period of seven consecutive days HaU he multiplied by the per cent, of pars but- ter fat thus found in the milk, ana the pro duct shall be the record. The requirement for entry on such a record shall be per cent, of the present requirement for entry on a record of marketable butter of a cow Urs shall be reported and affidavits made, as in cases of milk records and marketable batter records." A committee, consisting of Messrs. S. Hoi'e. L. T. Veomans and David U. Bur- rill, was appointed to fill the blank in the above amendment. This committee is .<jr responding with practical butter makers and with scientific men for the purpose of ascer- taining the proper per cent, to be inserted. Letters have been received urging that it be title 1 with :;,. This would make the re- quirements of a full-age cow 12* pounds of Ce butter fat. A prominent investigator suggested 1.1 pounds.

If we always plsnnesi ahead with oar work w* msgbt do some pruning in August, but I have gener ally been obliged to do a large part of my pruning at other seasons. I have pruned old apple trees in :he fall or during mild days in the winter with success. With young tree* I have be*n quite successful in pruning early in th* spring before the sap tarts. Jane is also s very good month for pruning young trees not in bearing, when the work is done judiciously and carefully. There is no other season of the year when wounds will heal over more rapidly than in the month of Jan*. Spraying with Paris green i* beneficial when properly done. Thi* u th* remit of my experience, tried in my own orchard last season, on several varieties of apples. Wormy apples were gathered and counted, both from brneath the trees which were sprayed and under those which were not sprayed. The proportion of wormy apples in the former was very small, even less than 10 per cent. In the latter, where tree* were not sprayed, the proportion of wormy apple* wai quite large, rising to nearly 75 per cent. It must not be inferred from this, however, that the same proportion held I good on tht trees themselves. The wormy ! apples were al*o counted on the same tree*, ! and, while 1ms thai *> per cent, of wormy | apples were found on tree* which bad been sprayed, there were from .V> to 40 per :*nt. of wormy apples on trees not treated with Pan* green.

As soon as a pig is welcomed the Colorado, a headlight can be seen forty miles. A tenderfoot would think it was not more than two or three miles away.

In those days there were uot many "novelties," and if there wa* a friendly contest between them to see which should make the best display, it was not determined by the cost of roots or seeds, but by the amount of care given and that undefined something which was sometime* called "luck" or "kna.-k," which usually enabled soms people to succeed better than others who perhaps were just as painstak- ing. But in starting th flower bed, ths first point is to have good soil or to make good soil. In many cases the land around new houses is built up with the earth thrown out in digi'in? the cellar, and it is very poor material to make a flower-bed from. It needs a liberal application of manure or fertiliser. Many of the fertilizer companies make a fertiliser almost odorless for a lawn dress- ing, which is also well adapted to growing flowers, and is clean en >ugh for a lady to handle. The seeds ani roots of the more common plants are not expensive, even if they must be bought of the seedsman, and usually some flower-loving neighbor will be willing to furnish several kinds.
