Cheap and Effective Home-made Remedies to Combat the Fly Nuisance--Especial Care Requir- ed In Case of Peiry Cattle-- Care Must Be Taken to Prevent Bun-Scald of Pigs During the Hot Weather<--Prevention and Treat- ment Explained by Expert, {Contributed by Ontario Depn ritment oi . Agriculture, Toronto.) 0 fruit tree disease this year has been so conspicuous and 80 injurious as the Leaf Curl of Peaches. In early June more than-half of the peach orchards between Beamsville and St, Cath- arines and many crchards in other localities were 80 badly affected that almost every leaf was distorted, swcllen and turning a brownish color. Most of these trees will not enter winter nearly so healthy nor bear so large a crop next year as if they had not been attacked by the Leal Curl. Control. This year's experience, though a hard one, will doubtless be of much value to the fruit grower, for it has shown as perhaps seldom before the great importance of early spraying of peaches to »revent Leaf Curl. By early we. mean before the leaf buds have begun to swell, Sometimes late spraying, that is spraying after the buds have begun to swell, will control the disease, but it will only do 80 where the wet weather does not come until after the spraying. A single day's rain would not of course be sufficient to start the disease. It takes several days of moist weather. There is good evi- dence that even fall spraying after the leaves have dropped will also control it, The best mixture to use is lime- fulphur about 1 gallon to 7 gallons of water, Soluble sulphur 12% pounds to 40 gallons of water will also control the disease, but is not 80 popular with the growers as the lime-sulphur, ~-- L.

In spite of many campaigus having for their slo- gan, "Swat the fly," he is still with us, and likely to be nntil the end of time, Flies are a terrible nuisance in the home, in the dairy and in the stable. They torment the very life out of cows. It Is strange that man with all his inventive genius, has not 'yet been able to. overcome his agile cnemy, the fly, Up to the present, no very satis- factory remedy for cow-flies has been The most we éan do is to apply something which keeps them off the cows for a time. ~The number of fly remedies is legion. There are several very good patent remedies. A good home-made mixture con= sists of two quarts of fish-oil or any kind of cheap ofl or grease, one-half pint coal-oil, and four tablespoonfuls of crude carbolic acid, thoroughly mixed and applied to all parts of the Cow except udder and teats, by means of 'a cloth or brush. This quantity will coat twenty-five cows, and unless there be rain soon after applying, one coating will last a week. (Leave out the coal-oil for calves.) Lighter mixtures, containing ereo- sol, zenoleum, ete,, may be sprayed on daily. ¥ done before milking, great care is needed, else the milk will' become tainted. -- Prof, H. H. Dean, O. A.

This condition of the hide of the animal is similar' to that of people; it gives the same degree of uncomfortableness to the vig and is caused in the same man- ner. Codsequently, the same method of 'prevention and treatment may be carried out. \ In the first place, "an ounce of Prévention. is worth a pound of cure," and the prevention is shelter. No' natter what kind of stock is in the pasture, shade is essential, and much Bore 50 is it for pigs on account of the thin coating of hair on their 2 | bodies; If the pasture for pigs is so situated that there are no trees to afford shade to the animals it would Jo jut as well to keep them shut up 3 ing the hottest parts of the day and them to run out during the rays of the Are always so bad | table of any kind, during which is a very it the location should | the shade, as it is that the : will than / COBBLESTONES. ; Used for Paving of Streets: Also for Missiles. What could be nore commonplace than a cobblestone? And yet, as is often the case with familiar objects, it has its points of interest. hy the rounded shape of it? It is not a manufactured product, and nature, at) the start, does not make rocks in any such form. It was rounded and smoothed by Wwater--a big pebble rolled for thou- sands of years perhaps in a Stream, 80 that all of its angles have been worn away. Necessarily, it is of very hard ma- terial; otherwise it would have been broken up and reduced to tiny frag- ments. And therefore it makes a most serviceable material for the paving of dtreets, : Not very many years ago the prin- cipal streets in every city were paved with cobbles. They were an up-to- date Improvement, doing away with the mud which in thoroughfares had previously threatened to engulf vehicles and foot-passengers in vei weather, They made rather rough going of course. Nowadays a cobbled street is 'avoided whenever possible by vehicles. Trafic over cobblestones in a big city made a veritable roar of noise from early morn to late at night. Cobbles came in time to be re- placed by "Belgian blocks" -- reet- angular blocks of cut stone so plant- ed as to afford a smooth surface, This was deemad an improvement quite wonderful. But Belgian blocks soon loose their smoothness. Not So with asphalt, if kept in repair, Much of our comfort at the present day we owe to asphalt, Another disadvantage of cobbles was that a mob, by tearing up a street cou glways provide itself with effec@e ammunition against police or militia. A cobblestone, well thrown, is a deadly projectile, and it fits the hand excellently. With bar- ricades hastily improvised and an un- limited supply of cobbles, the mobs of the Commune in Paris, and on other historic occasions, were able to defy organized soldiery. Here is an advantage of the as- phalt street, It cannot be torn up furnish no missiles, -- A New Volcano. A Russian wireless telegram ro- cently stated that Mt. Elbruz, which has been clad with ice from time tm- memorial, had been discharging smoke for some days. It added that ice blocks which have existed above the snow line for thousands of years were being carried to the foot of the mountain in numerous torrents. Mi. Elbruz is the loftiest peak in the Caucasus mountains and in Europe, It is 18,526 feet high. Ea UN British Miners.
