In Ordinarily vre And crude oil emul sion prepared by putting thirty or for ty gallons of water in a spraying tank; then put in twelve -or fifteen pouuds of whale oil or other soap and boll until the soap is dissolved; then pump fifty gallons of oil Into the tank, keeping the team turned In all the time; then fill the tank to 200 gallons, keeping the agitation going all the time. We use this emulsion one year and if not com paratively free from scale follow the second year with sulphur and lime, We removed the upper story from our thirty-year-old apple orchard, and now and comparatively little difficulty in reaching the tops of the trees with the pray, Btariding on an elevated plat form on the wagon. Sulphur and Lime. We use sulphur and lime on our peaches, pears and most varieties of plums and prunes. In our various srchards we have three, eight or ten horsepower boilers with elevated vats for cooking the sulphur and lime and the emulsion and use four power and two hand sprayers. With these mod ern means of applying the remedies, is tt not surprising that hundreds and thousands of acres of apple orchards m western New York and Canada be tween Hamilton and the Niagara river re being abandoned? In many dis tricts you have scarcely enough ap ples to supply home demand and can ning factories, let alone any for ex port There have always been great fears among small fruit growers that soon there would be an overproduction and no remunerative market as in 1S9G. This San Jose scale should allay all fears on that score. These untreated caly orchards are fit for the brush - pile In from two to five years, said WHlard Hosklns In a paper, read be fore the Ontario Fruit Growers' asso ciation. A NEW STRAWBERRY. A First Prize Winner of Unsurpassed Quality and Size. The Norwood strawberry was nam td and given the first prize by the Massachusetts Horticultural society at the exhibition this year. This straw berry. Is supposed to be a cross be tween the Marshall and Corsica, as It eame up where the Marshall had been grown and near where the Corsica was grown at the same time. I believe the Norwood Is considered the best all round strawberry in ex fctence. The plant is strong and healthy, making a liberal number of strong runners, but not excessive. The NOEWOOD STEAWBEEIil. Serry Is conic and regular In shape. Hot a coscombed berry was found this season. The quality is unsur passed and the size unequaled, some attaining the enormous size of three inches In diameter. Four such ber ries would fill a box and be crowded, states a writer in American Cultiva tor. Color, bright red all the way through, growing darker with age; Is firm, a good keeper and will ship well; has a perfect blossom and holds Its size well through the season and re mains In bearing a long time; picked the first box June 18 and the last one July 18. The largest berries were found In matted rows or beds, al though the plants had received no ex tra culture. Early Magnolia. M. stellata is the first of all magno lias to blossom, being usually a week earlier than M. yulan. It Is more or less bushy, while the other starry flow ered species assumes tree form in its rative country. M. stellata is one of the loveliest early flowering shrubs, says a writer In the Garden Magazine. Its numerous white petals radiate like a star, flutter In the breeze and are dellciously fragrant The whole bush is covered with flowers and begins to bloom when only two feet high. It was introduced from Japan some thir ty years ago by Dr. Hall, after whom tt is often called M. halllana. It Is very hardy. A Special Fruit Trader. Horticultural products have always leen noted for their purity. Many eareful growers of fruit have worked p a special fruit trade by shipping algh plass fruit under their own brand and name. In years when climatic and other conditions render the quality of fruit lower than the grade they are ac customed to ship under their named brands the fruit Is forwarded unbrand d. A neat, attractive brand or label en well packed fruit soon becomes known and asked for on the market Maryland Experiment Station. i - A-ttiwc - -iftaaaas A TARDY RECOGNITION. The Absentminded Professor and a Most Intelligent Woman. It was La Fontaine, tho fable writer, trim lit lila ami'a ntuionin ..InHntr auroral years in pursuit of an education, qutte forirut him and was not reminded of his existence until a friend arranged a surprise meeting. The father was pleased with the tne reason that it is the most common manners and wit of tho young man . 01 a'l "s, ami t is certainly gratifying presented to him, but failed to recog-! to sufferers to know that Chamber nlze him and as soou as they parted Iain's Pain Balm will afford relief, and promptly forgot him again. j make rest and sleep possible. In many La Fontaine was a geulus and kindly man, but one can hardly dis sever abseiumlndeduess of such a sort from shallow heartedness. Neverthe- less in the ease of Professor, let us say, Jones, who failed to recognise his daughter after a year's .separation, the bond of affection was both strong and Mary, his only daughter, married and went abroad with her husband. Their return was a week or two before the date appointed, and owing to a series of mlsunderstandlnp and errors the j professor was not Informed, was uot! at home when they arrived and m! them first at the house of a neighbor, wnere tney nao. gone ;o squire snout: him. A reception was in progress there, and he arrived some time after them as a guest and still unaware of their return. Strolling into bis friend's li brary, away from the crowd, he be came aware, as he was inspecting the books, of some ladles in conversation on the other side of a portiere, one of whom dlsptyed an astonishing amount of knowledge of bis own particular hobby. He was surprised and de lighted. 'There's a lady in the next room you must positively present me to," he said eagerly to his host, who bad join ed -him "a most intelligent woman! She's been talking of the prehistoric race9 In a surprisingly discriminating manner. Who is she?" A Mrs. Smith, I believe," replied the host, much amused, since be knew who the lady was. "Come I will pre sent you now." They passed the curtain, and the pro fessor, who had failed to connect the name of Mrs. Smith with his Mary, was duly Introduced, for the ladles had overheard his Inquiry and the reply and were disposed to keep up the joke. Peering shortsightedly through bis big glasses, which, by his usual mistake, were his reading glasses when they should have been his object glasses, he did not recognize . Mary when he saw her, and the father and daughter actu ally opened a conversation on prebln- toric man and carried It on for several minutes before the strain proved too much. Then the listeners broke down In laughter, ud Mary, with a cry that she could not keep it up any longer, caught the old gentleman around the neck and kissed bljn. "Bless my soul, Mrs. Smith V he gasped, bewildered. "Wby Mary!" Youth's Companion. Reticence or Ignorance? The inhabitants of Chinese villages are very ignorant of the places in their own neighborhood, according to an interview with W. J. Garnett, the third secretary of the British legation at Peking, which the Manchester Guardian prints. Mr. Garnett return ed a little while ago from a journey through the provinces of Shantung and Klangsu, and a sample of the conversation that took place when he asked the way from one village' to an other is below: "Is this the way to Tsouhsein?" "Are you going to Tsouhsein?" "Yes. Is this the wayT "Oh, you are going to Tsouhsein, are you? Where do you come from?" "From Chlningchow. Please, Is this the way to Tsouhsein?" "Oh, you've come from Chinlngohow, have you? Are you going Into the city walls of Tsouhsein?" Finally the native would admit that he did not know the way to Tsoubsdn. At the entrance to another village an ancient villager was asked what the name of the place was. After asking In turn who Mr. Garnett was, where he nau come irozn, wnere ne was going and why he wanted an inn, he consid ered the original question when repeat j ed by the patient inquirer and finally closed the conversation by saying: "How should I know? I m not a learned man." When Children Went to War. Among other improvements In the art of war as attained by the world In these later days Is the abolition of the practice of sending children to sea, as wa3 the case when the midshipmen of the old "oak wails" of England often were boys of less than fourteen years. The Marquis of Dufferin and Ava In telling about the siege of Bomarsund, in the Crimean war, which he witness ed from tho frigate Teneiope, related this story of one of these little fellows: "What pleased me most during the whole business," he says, "was the gallant behavior of a little midship man, a mere child, thirteen or fourteen years of age. About the time when the fire became pretty hot I happened to come across him, and, as he seemed to be as much out of a job as myself, I touched my cap and took the liberty of observing that It was a , fine day, to which he politely replied that it was. "Encouraged by his urbanity, I ven tured to ask him how long he had been at sea, to which he answered, I bavei only left my mamma six weeks, but I j ain't going to cry on her majesty's quarter deck, a remark which I think as worth rtviKtlitist us many a onomadc by mure illustrious heroes. Soon aftt'i' this, however, a man was killed clcwe to lilui, and the little fallow fainted and was taken below." The Most Common Cause of Suffering ' Rheumatism causes more pain and suffering than any other disease, for a cases the relief from pain, which is at - first temporary, has become perma ' nent, while in old reople" subject to chronic rheumatism, often brought on by dampness or changes in the , weather, a permanent cure cannot be , expected. the rcIief rom . w fc thJs ,iniment ffwi .$ , """ us " Bn JU m is,zes Ior saie cv frank Hart and !

When the parrot first heard him It listened in silence for souio time; then, to the amazement of all present. It sail very emphatically. "You talk too much!" The gentleman, at first embarrassed, presently resumed his interrupted dis course. Thereupon the parrot laid his head upon one side, gave an Indescrib ably comlcaf and contemptuous "n'tn!" and added, "There he goes again!' Biliousness and Constipation. For years I was troubled with bil iousness and constipation, which made life miserable for me. My appetite failed me. I lost my usual force and vitality.
