Vacation »®tttag° which c»n contribute to ?1’»nuS'f,™ blossom are one of the low forms of plant life belonging to the molds callod spores. These spores are produced in great abun dance, and being carried by the air, alight upon the fruit, and these ger minate into specks which feed upon the substance obtained from the skin of the apple. Whenever these specks are observed it is certain the apple will decay. Another defect in apples is known to fruit dealers as the “scah.” This is due to a mold which is as different in its real structure from the specks as the two are unlike in general ap pearance. It is as much a distinct kind of plant as the apple tree upon Which it thrives. The apples are first attacked by the scab fungus, while the tree is in blossom or short ly after, and this fact is what makes it necessary that the fruit should be treated as soon as the apple tree is in blossom. The germs which gather in the form of a scab are the germs of bacteria, and as soon as the skin of the apple becomes broken in any place, the coarser decay germs enter, and quickly overrun it with a motley vegetation of various molds. All these products rot, and the question of saving the apples is transferred to the matter of doing something for the fruit while it is yet untouched by bacteria that are floating in the air. What Dr. Halstead suggested is that this de cay of the fruit shall be anticipated. Nature tries to- protect the apple in all the processes of its growth, but the bacteria are sure to appear wher- J ever they can find their way through the tough skin. The only way in which the apple can be saved is by protecting their skins by the use of fungicides in the orchard while the fruit is growing,, then by picking the fruit carefully and by placing it in a cold, dry room, where it is free from fungus germs, and where it will keep indefinitely until chemical change ruins it as an article of food. There is no absolute protection for the ripened fruit, or for the keeping off the specks and blotches where ’hflofnt'in. lrwlnro pparltf nrAV tirmn the fruit at its first opportunity. Each of these spores feeds upon the ruptured pimples in the skin of the apple, and the only way to keep the harvested fruit effectively is to spray it with fungicide, and even this will not do it excepting under the most favorable circumstances. The only sure way to keep fruit is to cook it until the germs within it have been killed, and then to can ft to prevent the entrance of those without. If the fungicides are used freely in the orchard, while the fruit is growing, the result will be fairer fruit and the prevention of it from decay to a large extent. Use this prevention, pick the apples so as to avoid bruises, place them in a dry storage room, and you will have fruit that will last as long as the chem ical substance will allow. This is in substance the only treatment that will prevent the apple from decay. , Feeding Dairy Com. It now seems to be a generally ac cepted fact that the per cent of but ter fat in milk is always a matter of breeding and of individual peculiar ities, says a writer, and that it can not be controlled in any considerable degree bj the feeding or treatment of the cow. Professor Farrington,of the Illinois station, has made some experiments recently to test this point, and the results are interesting. He finds that the butter fat was the most changeable constituent of the milk. The per cents of solids not fat was qjiite uniform. Both were higher in the last part of the period of lacta tion than in the first, when the cows were fresh and the maximum quan tity of milk was produced. This was especially true of the fat. As the activity of the milk glands gradually decline until the llow of milk ceases, the formation of the fat seems to hold out better than the other constitu. ents of mil*. A gradual increase of the grain feed from twelve to twenty-four pounds per day per head, and the change from stable to pasture feed each increased the yield of milk, but ‘had very little effect on its quality. In some respects the results obtained -by Professor Farrington are contrary - to the generally accepted belief in ragftrd to tho production of butter fat, nnd will serve to reopen a cues tlon which has never been definitely settled.—Journal of Agriculture. _ Xtequlraiaiata of Potato* n. The man who plants a field with potatoes has already in labor and seed involved himself in considerable expense. Ho has to this extent, at | least, placed himself under obliga tions to give the crop tbe best cafe and promptly. With the potato crop promptness is more important than it is with any other. A single day's neglect may involve the loss of several dollars per acre. We understand now that both the size and quality of the potato depends on the foliage. It is through tho leaves that the crop gets the carbon which in the juices of the potato turns it to starch. Beetles and their larva may be killed to-morrow or next week, but after the foliage has been half eaten, the crop cannot amount to much. Some loss is in evitable where entire reliance is bad on poisoning the larva. They must eat some of the leaf to get sufficient poison to kill them.—American Cultivator. Poultry ricking*. Fresh eggs are heavier than old ones. Buttermilk may be fed to hens with profit. Sorghum seed is liked by poultry and is good for it Disease results from crowding fowls in large flocks. . -- Millet seed is a good grain feed for young chickens. Crude petroleum will destroy scaly leg. It is a good liniment for sores on fowls. Chopped steamed hay, mixed with bran, is relished by hens and is a good egg producer. Ducks will relish and do well on corn meal and wheat bran made into mnsh with sweet milk. Fowls should he marketed in decent condition. Many people will not buy fowls from filthy coops. When ducks are fed with chickens and turkeys they will not get their share of food. They are too clumsy. When hens are confined they should not have more than an ounce each of chopped meat two or three times a day. A red comb and an active, restless disposition is said to be an indica tion that the fowl is in perfect health. Bees are a benefit to fruit trees. In extracting the nectar of flowers they collect the pollen and carry to other plants and fertilize them. Useless roosters are like hens that lay no eggs. They eat but pay noth ing for what they eat Keep no more roosters than are necessary. If poultry are given the run of the orchard they will destroy a great many insects that will injure the trees, and the fowls enrich the land. A poultry writer says that if you suspect rats near where you have young chicks, keep a liberal supply of whole corn near by. A well-fed rat is not so apt to bother the chicks. The Poultry Yard says that there is just as much difference between eggs of fowls allowed to roam and forage .for themselves, and those which are fed regularly on good, nu tritious food, as there is between a leg of Southdown mutton and that of a common, half-starved sheep.

A towel rack, made with several arms fastened to a half-circular cen tre, which in turn fastens to the wall, is a convenient place for drying dish towels. To relieve pain from bruises and prevent discoloration and subsequent stiffness, nothing is more efficacious/ than fomentations of water as hot as can be borne. Fancy china toast racks are cer tainly less serviceable than silver ones, but they are quaint and dainty additions to the breakfast table, and are fast gaining in iavor. Flatirons should be kept as far re moved from the steam of cooking as possible, as this is what causes them to rust. When purchasing new ones be sure and get those with movable handles. The stains and discolorations &ade in marble basins from the dripping of the faucets can be removed with pulverized chalk. Dip an old nail or tooth brush in water, then in the chalk, and an instant’s rubbing will do the work. Strong carbolic acid is sure death to bed bugs. It is also one of. the very best disinfectants. A bottle should be kept on hand out of the reach of the children, and a few drops occasionally put down the sink drain and in slop jars. Grass stains on white goods can usually be removed in the following way: Wet the fabric, rub in some soft soap and as much baking soda aswill adhere; let stand half an hour; wash out in the usual manner and the stain wi 11 generally be gone.

It It remarked as sing tier, and possi bly an indication of lack of patriotism, that the average American, always ex cepting school children, cannot tell off hand how many stars there now are in the country's flag. If any reader of this desires to try the question on ten of his friends he will probably And that only three or four can give the correct number even after a minute of hard thought The ordinary reply will range from forty to forty-two stars instead of the correct forty-four. The admission within four years of North Dakota, South Dakota. Montana, Washington, Idaho and Wyoming has brought the list up to the last mentioned number. The shape of the union has been changed from a square to a rectangle, and the stars are arranged in six straight lines, the upper and lower ones containing eight stars and the remain ing four having seven stars. A Cunning Crag. A scientific journal tells this story of A frog's cunning: A brood of chickens was fed with moistened meal in sauc ers, and when the dough soured a lit tle of it attracted largo numbers of flies. An observant toad had'evidently noticed this, and every day toward eve ning he would make his appearance in the yard, hop to a saucer, climb in and roll over ana over until he was covered with meal, having done whiclrhe await ed developements. The flies, enticed by the smell, soon swarmed around the scheming batraehian and whenever one passed within two Inches or so of his nose his tongue darted out and the fly disappeared. The plan worked so well thqt the toad made a regular business of it Tte Autocrat's Jest. Edward Everett Hale tolls this: "A few years ago, in a fit of economy, our famous Massachusetts historical society screwed up its library and other offices by some fifteen feet, built in the space underneath, and rented it to the city of Boston!

When picked up Fraleigh had hold of a blacksnake which was coiled about his neck. The serpent did not bite him, but it left a black mark. Fraleigh was disabled from work for the day. The next morning, and every morning since, at the same hour that the snake wound itself around the man's neck, he has been taken with choking spasms and fits of strangulation, and is growing weaker every day. The case is being watched by local physicians, whose efforts to allay his sufferings have thus far proved futile. ■lOO Reward SIOO.

Peculiarities of Speech, It is a peculiar fact that persona born deaf are usually mute, not from any congenital defect in the organs of speech, but from the faat that, never having heard others speak, they can not imitate articulate utterance.
