Much amused comment was caused during the cross-examination of tho prince of Wales in the baccarat case by the number of time3 that Solicitor General Sir Edward Clarke made use of the words "your royal highness," thereby demonstrating his ignorance of the usages of court life.

T IS hard to predict how a species will act. The behavior of a specie" in a new country is fre qttently different ?rom that in its na tive locality lieing without Its natural tfiCl&s.it will some times increase inor 7xV vl-iW! fSSfi?? dinately, as did the Icerya ptirchasi in California. The San Jose scale, so destructive in the United States, attracts so little attention wherever it originally came from, that ve do not to this day know with any 'certainty its original habitat. Species closely allied to the San Jose ecale, natives of the United Stal03, are not nearly so destructive. The red scale of the orange, Aspidiotus aurantii, in Ja maica never infests citruit fruits, but occurs on ligstim-vitac r.nd palms; how different arc its habits in California! In Japan there is a scale almost ex actly identical with the San Jose scale, which infests citrus trees, which the real San. josc scale never docs in Amer ica. Therefore, in view of such facts as those, we can fairly say that vve never know what we are in for. when we in- I troduce a new scale. A traveler, bring ing a little ornamental plant in a pot, may unwittingly ruin a great horti cultural industry. Most of the worst scales are general feeders, and arc lia h!c to spread from garden or even hot house plants to orchards. Climatic harriers cannot always, be trusted. The rapid spread of some Jenle insects shows that .hey can en dure grct differences of climate. While the climatic barriers to the spread cf some species are real and important, it will not do to trust too much to them. It is probable that the very rapid re production of coccidae enables them to quickly adapt themselves to changes of climate, through the survival of the fit test. Thus if there are a million scales in an orchard which is touched by frost, if only one gravid female survives it will suffice to eventually restock the orchard, and with a comparatively frost-proof race. Be this as it may, the peach scale, Diaspis aniygdali, flourish es equally at Washington, D. C, and in the tropics; and many others could be cited which endure great differences of climate in different parts of their range. It will now be useful to consider the countries from which we are liable to he infested. From Europe we may ex pect many pests of shade trees and de ciduous fruit trees especially. For ex ample, we have already received the maple Phenacoccus, the elm Gossy paria, the New York plum scale (so called), the Lecanium bituberculatum, etc. It must also be remembered that semi-tropical scales may and unques tionably do, spread by way of Europ ean hot-houses; in this way, for ex ample, Orthezia insignia, a destructive West Indian species, was undoubtedly introduced into Ceylon. From the West Indies and Mexico countries we may expect especially pests of citrus fruits, of cotton, sugar cane; etc.; also the peach scale, Diaspis aniygdali, which has already reached this country. A further exploration of Mexico and most of the West Indian islands is urgently needed, to determine the kinds of insect pests there occur ring. From Japan, perhaps, we stand in most danger. The climatic condi tions permit the growth of the same species of fruit trees as are grown in America, and of late Japanese varieties have become very popular, nnd have been imported in quantity. The peach scale, Diaspis aniygdali, is common in Japan, and there are many other in jurious species. Unfortunately, cur knowledge of Japanese scale insects is yet in its infancy, and someone ought to he sent there lor a year to study the subject on the spo;. Some injurious species may also tu.ue Irani Australia, Xew Zealand, the sandwich islands, and in fact any place whence plants are brought. Especial care should Le taken to piceut the introduction of Asterolecanium pustuslans from the Sandwich Islands; it already exists iu Florida, and is common also in the West Indies. It especially infests ole ander. .taii.iin-se Millet. The Massachusetts Agricultural Ex periment Station has recently intro duced three new varieties of millets "rcm Japan. Among them is a variety jf barn-yard grass, Panicum Crus Gal li, which, while it differs in its habits of growth, is botanically identical with the common barn-yard grass; The variety from Japan has been grown for a few years at the Massa chusetts Station. Piofessor Brooks of that Station is very enthusiastic about it and recommends it as a fodder crop either for feeding green or for the silo. As a forage plant it may yield ten or twelve tons of fodder per acre, and when thinly sown in rows about a foot apart a yield of Ofty to ninety bushels ot ced may be obtained. Ordinary barnyard grass is a coarse annual, with stems two to four feet in length, appearing in mid-summer, in low, somewhat damp places or on cultivat ed grounds. The ordinary variety is i very troublesome weed. Professor Brooks says: "This Japanese variety of the species has not become a weed here, however, although the seed does not lose all vitality during the win ter. Although it is possible that it tx-ight under some circumstances be come troublesome, it is hardly liable to prove more so than clover or winter wheat, for instance." This plant is be ing quite extensively advertised by seedsmen under the name of Japanese .Millet, or its scientific name, Panicum Crus Galli. While this may prove to be a valuable acquisition to our fod der plants and not become a means of spreading a bad weed, the Experi ment Station would recommend the farmers of Maine to be cautious about purchasing seed of this new plant. Cer tainly the seed of Panicum Crus Galli should be bought only of reliable deal ers, who will be sure to furnish the seed of the Japanese variety. The mis chief that would be wrought by sowing seed of ordinary barnyard grass is ielf-evident. Chas. D. Woods, Director Maine Experiment Station. Inferior Wood ArIic. In Bulletin 43 of the New Hampshire Tollege Agricultural Experiment Sta- ! ion Prof. Fred W. Morse writes: The i ime for purchasing fertilizers having ' ome, the station wishes to call the at- ' ention of farmers to the veritable com losition of wood ashes and particu'ar y to some evidently fraudulent lots of Tanada ashes, samples of which were 'eceived at the laboratory last fall, "ive samples, representing three dif erent lots, were received during Octo jer, 1S96, from widely different sec- :Ions of the state, namely Plymouth, i Stratham and Walpole. The ash were all bought of the same wholesale dealer, and analysis showed them to be quite uniform in quality, but no ticeably Inferior. The proportion ol potash is low, especially it the soluble form is alone considered which fad taken with the quantity of water, leads one to suspect that these ashes had been either leached partially or pre pared by mixing leached and dry ashes together. The proportion df lime found in the most inferior sample disposes of any fcusplcio'n of adulteration with lime as the precentage is not high. The price of these ashes was $10 per ton delivered in carload lots at the respec tive railroad stations. This price is lower than any quotations previously known to the station. The important point for the purchaser, however, te that the low price was accompanied by an apparently deliberate reduction in the quality of ashes. During the year preceding the receipt of the five sam ples above described, the Canada ashec sent to the station for analysis were ol good quality. One sample is of inter est because, though very moist, it yet contains a high percentage of potash. The ashes had most probably been ex posed to rain, instead of having been leached and afterward partially dried. Three samples of domestic ashes are characterized by being very dry, and one was probably taken soon after the ashes were removed from the stove. Average Canada ashes contain about 12 per cent of moisture, which renders them as damp as the average chemical fertilizer. Buyers of ashes should therefore look with suspiciori on lots that appear excessively moist, because in such cases the potash Is seldom equal to the proportion in average ashes. The refuse ashes were samples from burned rubbish, principally waste paper and refuse lumber. The analyti cal results speak for themselves. Ashes from paper are as valueless as those from coal because the soluble mineral matter has been leached out of the pa per stock during the process of paper making. Oiling the Harness. Harness will last much longer and look much better If kept well oiled, and will not get so stiff after being exposed to a day's rain, says Journal of Agri culture. During the spring it is dif ficult to keep harness from getting wet, and it will pay well before the season's work begins to see that it is thoroughly oiled. In doing the work, the harness should be taken apart, washed clean, using warm water and castile soap, and then wiped dry, when the oil should be applied. If so clean that washing is not needed, it will be better to wipe off with a wet rag as the oiling can be done bet ter. It is best to take harness all apart, in order to get at all of the parts and oil thoroughly. Good harness oil can be purchased all ready for use, or nentsfoot oil, with a little lamp black, will be found good. If the harness has not been oiled for some time and is hard nnd dry, it will be best to go over them twice1", finishing all up, and then commencing with the first piece and going over again. After every part has been thoroughly oiled, it should all be hung up over a frame of some kind and allowed to dry. It should not be hung in the sun or where the wind strikes, as it will dry too rapidly. The oil should have plenty of time to soak in. Like most other work on the farm, if undertaken it will pay to do well. lleeves for Kxport. Secretary Wilson has issued an order that from and after March 15, 1S97, all beef offered for transportation to Eu ropean ports, whether fresh, salted, canned, corned or packed, being the meat of cattle killed after the passing cf the act under which this order is made, shall be accompanied by a certifi cate issued .by an inspector of this de partment, showing that the cattle from which it was produced were free from disease and the meat sound and whole some. In order that it may be deter mined whether all beef exported to European ports ha3 been so inspected and found to be wholesome, it is fur ther oidercd that the meat of all other species of animals exported to such ports, which for any reason decs nut bear the inspection stamp of this dc pariincnt, be packed in barrels, cases, or other packages which are legibly marked in such manner as to clearly indicate the species of animal freni which the meat was produced. Meat which is not so marked aad which is not accompanied by a certificate of in spection, will be classed as uninspected beef and will not be allowed exporta tion to European ports.

Is a hardy shrub and a beauti ful plant, especially when the fruit is ripe. Then there is the Nine-Bark (Spiraea prunifolla), beautiful in its bloom and beautiful in its seed. Both cf these shrubs are hardy native shrubs, with their fruit turning a beautiful crimson in the fall. Among other things, not perhaps in the line of shrubs, are the climbing vines or plants, such as the Boston Ivy. It gives character to the buildings in the eastern states and adds beauty and charms to the common brick walls, if we can make it do half as well as they grow it there, it would change the looks of a village like Sparta mort. than any other thing that could be planted. Tlie Five-leaved Ivy (Ampe lcpsis yuinyuefolla), commonly called Virginia Creeper, is another"native vine and will grow well almost anywhere. A. L. Hatch. Weaning Time. When the weaning time comes for the ewe flock they should be watched closely in meadow or pasture, and if tliey cannot have this care they should be kept in a lot where they can have access to a warm barn. As fast as they wean they should le put into what might be called the nur sery flock and fed for all that the milk and lambs are worth. Feed for milk. This will make another flock with a lit tle different feeding. Ex. Never use a male bird unless he is rufc bred. No matter what the breed ing of the hens, there is no way to im prove a flock that is better than to use pure bred males. They transmit to their progeny the good qualities that have been bred into them and mako the flock mnm profitable each year. A Veteraa Shock's Advice. I have shed horses for forty years, nd will give my experience concern tog the shoeing and the care of the feet, writes William Gilinter, Sr., in Firm Journal, t would first say it is hot the best blacksmith that makes the shoe stick the longest on the horse. That depends oh the quality of the calls an'd the good of the feet. I am hot anyways backward in stating that there are more horse's feet injured in shoeing than any person would think there were. When the smith goes to shoe a horse he should take a good look at the foot and see whether the foot is straight or not, and then dress and set the shoe so as the foot becomes straight. First, don't lower the heel too much; don't cut the frog, only the loose fragments. Pare the-foot hollow so as the shoe rests on the horn of the foot. Cut some of the toe of the foot off as it grows long. Keep the tcot as round as possible. Don't fit the fcot to the shoe, but fit the shoe to the foot. Here is where the trouble is with nine out of ten smiths they don't shape the shoe right. You take a colt when he is first shod and his foot is round, and so it ought to be kept, and then there would be fewer narrow, contracted horse's feet than there are. Take a good look at the most of horse's feet, fthd just see how narrow and pointed and long they are. Not round and broad as nature would have them, just because the smith shapes the shoe nar row, and puts it on the foot and cuts off the sides of the foot, and in a short time you will have a narrow, con tracted foot, and every time the horse is shod it becomes more so. I have many a time, or always do, alter the Bhape of a shoe by rounding it on the toe. If you have a narrow foot that has been spoiled in thus shoeing, you can in a short time have it wide and broad by making the shoe rounder on the toe, and in several shoeings as the fcot grows It will become wide. An other point, set the shoe straight on the foot, range it in. line with the frog and the toe of the shoe. Look at the foot and see whether one side has grown out more than the other side and set the shoe over so as the foot becomes straight. I will also give you ray way of shoeing a horse that interferes or cuts his ankles in traveling. In dress ing the foot cut down the outside of the foot as low as possible; leave the in side high. In fitting the shoe for sum mer have a spring heel shoe; have the inside of the shoe the highest and in setting the shoe set it in a little of the foot. A horse never strikes or cuts himself with the heel of the shoe. It is always with the side of the foot or the side of the shoe or the clinches of the rails. For winter shoeing raise the in side calk the highest. A horse will cut or interfere most when the roads are rough or uneven. In thus shoeing ou will observe that when the horse sets his foot down on level ground the ankle will incline out, and as the other foot passes by it will not strike. On rough and uneven roads he sometimes sets his foot down the lowest on the inside, and thus will strike or cut the ankle. Sugar Beet llulletlus. The Arizona experiment station has just issued a timely bulletin upon the sugar beet. Never before in the United States has there been manifested such deep interest in the sugar beet and sugar beet culture as at present. The ag ricultural press from the British posses sions to the gulf and from the Atlantic to the Pacific bear evidence of the fact that the people throughout the United States are aroused in this matter and propose finding out whether it is pos sible for the United States to grow its own sugar, instead of sending abroad each year the enormous sum of $100, 000.000 for this commodity. The re markable success attained at nearly, if not quite all, the factories in operation during the past year has stimulated this interest and now there is scarcely a locality in the United States which does not desire a sugar beet factory nnd is not taking steps to ascertain whether beetB cannot be grown of suffi ii:;t richness of sugar to warrant the establishing of a factory in that place. in view of these facts this bulletin will i undoubtedly be welcomed by a large part of the farming community in many portions of the union. The bul letin is an exhaustive one, going to some length into the history of the sugar beet industry and giving numer ous statistics setting forth the advan tages to a commuuity of a sugar beet factory. While destined primarily for regions in which the beet must be grown by means of irrigation, it is not without interest to all localities. It will be sent gratis to all interested who will apply to William Stowe De vol, Director experiment station, Tuc son, Ariz. Beet Sugar Factories. The first beet sugar factory erected in Germany was put upon the estate of Baron de Kop py in 1805. This was a small affair, be ing capable of working up but 525 tons of beet roots per year. This is in great contrast to the modern factory. The one at Watsonville, Cal., worked last year 1,400 tons of beets in one day, and a factory is being built at Salinas, Cal., with a capacity for working 3, 000 tons of beets in twenty-four hours. At the Watsonville factory last year there was manufactured a total of 20. 000 tons of sugar. Australian Salt Bush. Some Austra lian salt bush has been growing upon the experiment station grounds at Tuc son, Ariz., without water for over two years. The location of the plants is upon the mesa north of the city, where it is very dry. This would indicate that this forage plant is valuable for arid regions, and as experiments made elsewhere show that it thrives .upon alkali land, it promises to be a valu able acquisition for Arizona. The ex periment station at Tucson has been distributing seeds gratis throughout Arizona for the purpose of having this plant thoroughly tested in that re gion. Apples as Food. Apples are, a doctor says, excellent brain food, because they contain more phosphoric acid in tasily dieestible shape than any other po tables known. It excites the action of the liver, promotes sound and healthy sleep and thoroughly disinfects he rrouth. That is not all. The apple ag glutinates the surplus acids of the stouiacu, uciiJA iub Kiuney secretions and prevents calculus growths, while it obviates indigestion and is one of the best preventives known of diseases of the throat. Ex. From an exceptionally clean dairy in Xew York milk was sent in bottle. across the Atlantic.
