The trembling hands of a habitual 'drinker cannot hare that firm, strong, yet light and sure touch which is a sine qua non for first-class werk.

As the above letter truly says, workmen are but the parts,of one great machine, and the inability of any part to discharge its functions accurate­ ly and promptly deranges the whole.

FUNGOUS DISEASES, Experiments y|t)i powders for CoinbtfiliR the Noxious Urowtlm. The value o f the fiouvrs, of sulphur in combating the fungous diseases at plants has been long known; in fact, it wna one of tlio first substances em­ ployed for this purpose. Before the vary­ ing nature of the fungi which attack Cultivated plants was well' understood sulphur hud come to be. looked upon as a panacea for all the blights and rots and mildews that plants are heir to, and much time and money were spent in applying it to cases where now we can see that it could be of no more value than so much dust from a dry road. In speaking of the treatment of plant diseases due to fungi I have re­ peatedly pointed out the character of those in which the use of flowers 'of sulphur might be efficacious. Those caused by the powdery or whltq mil­ dew are of this elass. The .powdery- mildew of the grape, or oidium, as some’ name it, is readily held in check by timely applications of this sub­ stance. AH the powdery mildews live upon the surface of. the plants they at­ tack, and hence are directly exposed to the action o f tho sulphur fumes and are readily destroyed by,them. . Such is not the case with tho downy mildews (Peronospora)or tho fungus of block-rot. The mycelium of these parasites penetrates deeply the tis­ sues of the plants they infest. 'When they have once gained' an bntraflee to these tissues, we may only hope to pre­ vent their fruiting which happily takes place upon the outside,.but .we cannot destroy the parasite without -at the same time destroying the plant at­ tacked. Preventive measures must be sought. We ought to destroy so far’is we can da so the germs o f fungi, and then prevent those which escape de­ struction from gaining an entrance to thVtKsttb b f the atrics' or other ' plarits nEW.Offa bob AVrLvrxo dby bi ^ bstax - \ .

Inducting as « preventive an essential property of the preparation used is its adhesive- ‘riess.- So far, all things considered, nothing has been found superior to the Bordeaux mixture, which, as every one. knows, Is a compound of lime and sulphate of copper—lime, ono pound, sulphate of copper, one pound, water, five gallons. ' At the same timc<that we began exper­ imenting with liquid remedies for- the downy mildows and the rot, we tried also certain powders having a sul­ phate of copper base. The result ob­ tained by the use of these was less marked than that from the liquids; they were somewhat difficult of prep­ aration, and no satisfactory bellows could be procured for applying 'thejn, hence their use in our experiments was abandoned- ■ In 18S9 we obtained a good form of bellows from France— see cut—bat then attention was po strongly given to the liquid prepara­ tions thqt the powders, received. little -notice. f There are two powders which have given results that warrant their being farther tried; they are snlphatine and sulpho-stcatite or cupric steatite* the formula for which 1 have given in cir­ cular S o f the division o f vegetable pathology, publishej by the United States department of agriculture.

The Sooner the Plowing: Ie Done the list* ter for tho Crop. As soon as the small grain and hay are harvested and stored away tho preparation for,$}»«> J3CXt crop o f wheaji must begin. In nearly all cases the •sooner the plowing is done the better. Plow deep and thorough; ono good plowing is worth two skimmings. However,,i f ' shallow plowing has been • the rule previously, it Is not a good plan to plow too_ deep at one time, af the bftttglrig'up Of too much fresh soil -at one time- can hardly' be considered beneficial. But by plowing a litt1* deeper each time a good depth can finally be reached that will be a benefit to the Boil and the growing crop. After plowing is a good'timo to ap­ ply manure, and it will pay to haul out / and scatter over the surface all that can be saved. The work is necessary to prepare the soil .in a suitable condi­ tion, for the seed will work the ma­ nure sufficiently into the soil, as the best results in manuring for wheat aro secured by applying the fertilizer near the. surface. It is necessary to roll, drag, harrow or cultivate the ground so. os to get it into as good a tilth as possi­ ble before seeding,‘-No ono tool .will-- be the best under all conditions -or for all soils. If the soil is clay:, hard and' lumpy, the roller and drag can bo used with benefit; on sod land .the disc harrow is one of the best implements that can be used. In other soils, aud especially it baked on top, as it often is in hot weather, after a hard rain, the spring tooth harrpw or cultivator can be used to a good advantage. But whatever tool or implement is used it is important to do thorough work so as.to get the soil to the depth of three or four inches worked into as good a tilth as possible. Another item to be looked after in good season is the seed. Good seed is one o f the essentials necessary to a good crop, and the difference in the cost botvveeri goodead poor seed is Sri small in comparison with the result^'* obtained, that it is poor economy to use anything but the best. And in or-' der to have it on hand in good seasoio^ it is necessary to look after it earlyT i If it is to be selected from what is grown on the farm, the best plan is to select it at harvest; but 11 this is not done, when the threshing is finished is - - the next best time.. None but the best should be used, and if that grown on the farm is not of a good quality it is better to buy rather than to use that which is of a poor quality. Keeping tike ground clean and in good tilth les­ sens the liability to injury from tha hessian and using good seed and having the soil iu a good condition when the seed is sown, so that the plants can make a vigorous, thrifty growth 1 before cold weather sets in, will enable tlio plants to withstand the winter much better.—St. Louis Re­ public. _____ ______ . • GOOD HAY DERRICK, It Can He Made at Home and Will no' Found Very Useful.
