PLANT ENEMIES. , , t No one should attempt to garden these days without a. good syringe and a. supply of various insecticides. No: only do we have to make a con- tinuous and determined fight to secure good fruits and vegetables, but the plant enemies have also invaded our flower gardens, and many of our most popular and once easily grown f low- ers are now rarely seen in perfection. The rose, especially, is a favorite vic- tim of many insects and fungus dis- eases. But with me the most dreladed of all the fungus known as the black‘ spot, which not only ruins the crop of flowers by causing the foliage to drop but greatly lessens the vitality of the i plants, making them much more liable ' to winter-kill and to start a weak puny {growth the next spring, thus falling {a ready victim to the disease again. i To successfully combat this plague re- ;qires prompt and thorough treat- }ment. Bordeaux mixture is the rem- ?edy, and the plants should be thor- Ioughly sprayed with it before the ‘ leaves start in the spring, and once or ‘twice every week thereafter, during ‘ the entire growing season, using care E to destroy all_diseased leaves. The cosmos borer is very destructive to cosmos, dahlias, and asters, fre- quently destroying all the plants, or so damaging them as to cause them to produce very inferior flowers. The fol- lowing is a complete remedy if used in time. Take one level teaspoonful Paris green to three gallons of water, and pour around the: base of the stalk ywvv -uv-vâ€" â€"v. the plants are onxl'y éhout a f05t high, and repeating the application once ev- ery week until the plant is about grown._ -- ‘ “* ’â€" A “AH+ The black flower beetle is a. most disgusting and troublesome pest, and seems to be spreading over the coun- try.

A Cube or n “'hen Fused and onwn’ Would Enclrcle the World. Some very interesting experiments have been carried on by scientists to; illustrate the minute subdivision of! matter that can be attained. Quite the most remarkable is that accom- plished with common mineral quartz. The substance was melted at a very high temperature, and then drawn out into fibrous threads, that were of greater delicacy and tenuity than had ever been obtained with any other substance. 80 great a fineness of thread, as it were, of this material has been attained that it is invisible to the naked eye, and this exceeding thin- ; ness would taper in such a degree that the ends were invisible beneath a mic- roscope. A fiber of unspun silk is about one five-thousandeth of an inch diameter , if a hundred quamtz filaments weie woven like the threads of a. rope they would about equal a thread of un- spun silk. The most ingenious plan conceivable was devised in this experiment with quartz. The professor, after reducing the quartz at a very high temperature, touched a little very light arrow to the melted substance, and discharged by means of a small crossbow. made for the purpose, which would cause the arrow to carry about 50 feet. As the arrow flew through the air it spun the exceedingly fine thread of .the fus- ed quartz. .If a piece of quartz of the size of a plpe bowl were fused and drawn out into a continuous thread it would make sufficient to girdle the earth a half dozen times. MARRYING IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES. In Germany the man must be eigh- teen years of age before he can legal- 1y marry. â€"In Portugal a boy of fourteen is considered marriageable and a woman of twelve. Ir Greece the man must have seen at least fourteen summers and the wo- man twelve. a] In Russia and Saxony they are a little more sensible, and a youth must refrain from entering into matrimony till he can count eighteen years, and the woman till she can count sixteen.

Sometimes are so common that a reply will suit Ethousands of cases. Ho has two cows giving 50 to 60 lbs. of milk daily and 1Wishes better conveniences for caring ffor it. He sets in’ small pans in a cel- }1a.r which is not very cool and this !causee much work and gives poor re- sults. He Wishes to save work and get better results. He asks if digging down 3 ‘or 4 ft in the cellar bottom and setting a large tile in the hole, then using deep cooler cans for the milk and setting in the tile, will help matters. It will make less work, but will not give satisfactory results. The deep coolers require to be set in cold water. Cold air is much less efficient than cold water, as it is a poor con- ductor of heat. The object sought in? deep Setting is to cool the milk next {to the outside surface of the can. As git cools it settles and the cream sept- arates and floats no the top, the warmer milk is drawn to the outside surface of the Can. Asit cools it settles and is also creamed as it cools, in the same way. The air on the cellar bot- tom» would not be cold enough to make this method satisfactory. If the milk be diluted with water it I will facilitate the separation of the cream, but this depreciates the value,t of the skim? milk and the creaming even ‘ then is not so thorough as. to set unâ€"i 1 diluted milk in a can surrounded withi 1 cold water. There are mamy kinds of} : so-called separators on the market, bas- i : ed upon this dilution of milk 'With wa-l . ter to cream the milk. They cannotl be recommended, as water dilution hast ' been repeatedly proven to be objec- tionable, and better results are ob- tained by keeping the water outside of the can. So the tile will not give satisfaction. A water barrel is much ibetter. Fill with water and set the cans of milk inside. Change the wa- ter when it becomes warm. This will be inconvenient in the cellar, but it is not necessary to keep the milk in the cellar by this plan. Anywhere out of the sun will do, and the nearer to the well the more convenient it will be, iof course. Many dairymen use this method, and as a rule they make a‘ tank 24 inches deep for the water and! for milk setters use tin cans eight in- ‘ ches in diameter amd 20 inches deep.‘ For small amounts of milk, the cans1 are 12 inches deep. This method doesi not save all the butter fat. The cen-‘ trifugal separator alone will do this, lbut where arrangements are made so ‘the water designed for stock DUSSBS a through the tank containing the milk, a it is exceedingly economical in saving work and getting as good results as ,can be obtained in any way except by ‘using a separator. The same inquirer asks what he can apply to the udder ito keep flies away. He can use oil of ’ tar as a base and mix it with kero- sene and had and paint the udder with it. June, July and August are three months during which the orchard and fruit qarden need special attention. The orchard is then peculiarly subject to"'§aveather conditions. If there is much rain inseCts destroy the fruits. The growershould be provided with spray- ing pumps and insecticides. and use the remedy. promptly and according to directions. If the weather is dry the insects will be found at work on the trees, either eating the leaves, young growth, or webbing or tenting through the head, and then the white grub and; woolly aphis will be getting in their! destructive work on the roots. Al- though an apple tree may look healthy one week, it may be found dead the next. The trouble is caused by the growth being cut by the insects and. excessive dry weather. These points are of importance and ,the orchardist should become familiar 'with the different conditions and be able to diagnose the disease and ap- ply a remedy from the general apâ€" pearance of the tree. Apply ashes, lime, concentrated lye or salt, either separate or mixed. If mixed, take two parts lime, one-fourth concentrated lye, one-fourth salt, and oneâ€"half wood ,ashes. Sift this on the ground thick 3 enough to make a good showing as far 1 out as the reach of the limbs. This ap-? " plication is more for trees standing un- cultivated. For eating insects, spray iwith paris green, london purple, or white arsenic, and for all insects that suck or use their proboscis, apply kero- sene emulsion. Foot rot is most com- mon with the cherry trees, but some- times attack plum. pear. apple and HOT WEATHER ORCHARD W'ORK. tilizer, accompanied by successive rains : and warm weather. To overcome thisi disease, carefully remove the top soils ' 3 deep as possible without cut- ting the roots. Fill in ordinary tOp soil, giving proper drainage that there may be no water left standing about the roots. Thinning fruit is of vital import- ance where trees are set too heavily. This work should be done just before the seed hardens or can be done at any time after the fruit sets, but there is no strain on the vitality of the tree until the maturing of the seeds. The fruit pulp is the‘receptacle of the seed and is largely water. # THE CAUSE OF ROPY MILK. Bacteriologists now tell us that the l M“V' W- ' W «3|;me 5,2.fi. ropy condition sometimes assumed I)! milk or cream when “ set" for ripen- ing is due to the development therein of a certain form at bacteriumâ€"e near relative of the organism, bacterium lac- tis, which is known to cause the sour» ing or ripening of cream. Under ordin- ary conditions the bacterium which causes the souring of. cream so rapidly develops, and so pronouncedly assert; itself that none of the many other or- ganisms which are known to be cap- ’able of thriving in milk are given an 'opportunity of making their influence felt ; .but when, from any cause,-â€"such as the presence of dirt. etc.â€"-the Other organisms are afforded the necessary facilities for development, they also soon begin to assert themselves, and in this way produce one or other of the many conditions which are known to affect injuriously the churn-ability oi milk and cream. Heretofore the ex- planation usually given for the ropi- ness of milk was that it was due to the ill-health of the cows. May it not be that, after all, this was quite a cor- rect explanation, for is it not possible that the fact the milk is obtained from cows which are constitutionally un- sound may render such milk all the more susceptible to the attack and w more favorable to the development 0! ,t the Organisms, which are the immedi- _ 1 ate cause of the ropiness? CLOVER AND TIMOTHY HAY. Clover unless cut before it reaches the blossoming stage will have when dried from seven co ten per cent. of al- buminoids, which makes it a very nu- tritious ration. Timothy, when in itq best estate, which is a little before it has blossomed, has only about four to five per cent. of. albuminoids. If it stands until dead ripe most of these are changed to woody fibre, which in very hard to digest. The second growth of clover is much richer than the first. It is hard to cure it with- out discoloring from excessive fermen- tation. If secured in good order it should be saved for young stock and for poultry, to be fed to each in. small. amounts with other feed. EASTERN WASHERVVOMEN. The hardest worked washerwomen it. the world are the Koreans. They have to wash about a dozen dresses for their husbands, and inasmuch as every man wears pantaloons or drawers so baggy that they come up to his neck like a and often in running streams. The clothes are pounded with paddles until they shine like a shirt front fresh from a Chinese laundry. The Japanese rip their garments apart for every washing. and they iron 1 their clothes by spreading them on a l flat board and leaning this up against the house to dry. The sun takes the wrinkles out of the clothes. and sorm of them have quite a lustre. Th: Japanese woman does her washing out of doors. Her wash tub is not morc .than six inches high and is about at A__ 0‘... Luau DAL Luvuvv "0 big around as the average dishpan. She sometimes uses Japanese soap, which is full of grease, and works away with her bare feet. The Chinese girls dc their washing in much the same way The washing in Egypt is usuallx done by the men. The Egyptian washerman stands on the banks of thc Nile and slaps th: wet clothes. with a noise like the shot of a pistol. on th! smooth stones at the edge of the run- ning water, and such fellah women a: wash. pound the dirt out of their clothes in the same way. French women pound the dirt with paddles, often slamming the clothe: upon stones. as the Egyptians do. SEQUINS FOR HAIR Bows. The style of hair ornamentss at the moment is an upright bow made 01 twisted wire and ribbon, which curls and twists about quite in keeping with the snakelike curves of the up- toâ€"date skirt and its weird convolu- tions. These hair bows are often cov- ered with sequins to match the trim- mings which fashion at present de- mands. Little gauze bows are also smart, and if only the plain ribbon is preferred, a diamond or rhinestone buckle at the point of intersection lends variety. Everything in the pre- sent fashion tends to give height, and these stiff, upright bows help to carry out this idea. The German Government possesset several torpedo boats constructed 0: aluminum, and it has equipped 4 arm, corps in all their metal accouterment: with aluminum; these including cart- ridge boxes and cartridge cases, can- teens, cups, sword handles, beonei scabblrds the devices on their helmets and the metal work of the stirrup: and saddles. Even the butttons or their uniforms and the pegs in theix boots are constructed of the same light metal. I am astonished to hear you say that Fraleman told you all these things; I gave them to him in strict con fidenoe. Yes; but he says you told them to him during your late voyage to Eur. with it? Everything. You can't expect a man to keep anything to himself on his first ocean voyage. can you? ' --:-Am0ng “ incurable " prisoners, how- ever, are usually reckoned more women than men.
