Among apples on the Cornell university farm in New York the two most resistant varieties were found to be Wolf River and Talman Sweet. The varieties most subject to blight there were Baldwin and Ben Davis. ' Where blight appears the wood should be cut out and burned, and early In the spring before the buds open the trees should receive a treatment of lime sulphur wash. 1 young man has remarkable a-- JLv Cut ive t' Messengers were bed to the collieries at Kaska and ESCAPE FROM DEATH. rt II il ll'l Silver Creek, whence exiierienred ii'Twiicut i li mining men were sent by officials 'I i aii'l li1 I in' UP GIVEN IS u FOR LOST wlih a long coll of stout rope This ,il vs, lowered and. although 00 feet of .ii ml'. if In ihe tt .1 II I l it ,t ,vas used, the bottom of the shaft i hi r Cries for Help Finally Heard 'I Not a sound by Ore could not be touched came from the black hole, except the i, .in f ii.n has and of Ha Rescuers Taken Is It I' I - l I'UIII! rai'bng of the weighted rope Out with Net a Bone In Ill mi. o' III' galn messengers were dispatched ' hi of Boody Breken. pm jjii'i fc more rope.'

THE CALF. Most Rigid Selection Should Be Made in Adding to Herd. The most rigid selection, according to dairy standaids, should be made auiong the calves as they come into which profit, those being retained will 'aise the average perfoi inance of ths herd When It is necessary to Introduce a new sire, he should be of the same type and personal qualities alt pad v detei mined upon as the Constant record ideal for the herd should be kept of the woik of every individual animal. In order that rea sonable treatment may insure the greatest profit, and this Is only possible when the owner !s personally familiar with the characteristics and performance of every, cow. ' Personal comfort, cleanliness, light, air, exercise and water, are as necessary aa feed. Frequent examinations should be made by a competent Inspector to make sure of the health of the herd, and any animals found suffering from Infectious or contagious diseases should be Immediately removed to bonplia! stalls for proper care. With such reasonable treatment a pure bred herd will prove itself the best Investment that the intelligent farmer can make, and will be a source of constant satisfaction and pride. TO HOLD A GATE OPEN. Braes Which Can Be Swung Quofthe Way When Not in Use. Th Illustration shows a very handy method which I invented to hold a swing gate ope At any width, writes a "or respondent of Orange Judd FarmMost gates er. are hung so they swing upward a little lu opening, to clear snow, grass, etc. They shut of swing their own accord, hence something to hold the gate open at any place while driving through or let ting out stock is a necessity. To meet this need I devised the brace shown herewith. It Is simply a piece of wood 1x2 inches and a little longer than half the height of the gate. One end is fastened by a spike passed through It and driven Into the edge of the vertical board at the end of the gate, or it may be put on with a hinge, The dotted lines show Its position when not In use. It -- being swung upward and snapped beneath a spring nailed to the top of the gate. Dairy Facts.
