'ORCHARD PESTS AND .THEIR CONTROL Funguous diseases. While insects belong to the animal kingdom, the various fungi and bacteria are plants. A fungous is a true plant though usually quite'.simple Un structure. Unlike ferns and flowering plants, fungi have no green coloring matter, and ,-derive iaJ their sustenance in organic form oy living as para-i-es on living organisms, or as' saprophytes on dead ones. The mushroom and bread- mould are two common types. "The whitish threads to be found ruii- ��������� ning through the soil beneath a mushroom or toadstool, is the true plant body, which is equivalent to the roots and stems of higher plants while the mushroom itself is the fruiting body containing the spores which are the equivalent of seedd. From the standpoint of the fruil grower, fungi may be divided into two classes: 1. Those whose mycelium, .or vegetative portion, lives' on^the surface of the host pliant, as, ������oi example, the various mildews. 2. The larger class embraces those whose mycelium penetrates into' the tissues of the host plant, such as the Apple 'Scab and Black Spot Canker THE MARKET. An exceptionally good market, was that of Frifday, the attendance of both buyers and sellers being above the average. The prices, with few exceptions, remained unchanged, the consumers being well satisfied, as also the sellers. A good supply of eggs and poultry was on hand, while beef and mut- toiTalso came in fair quantities. The fish supply, especially spring salmon, came in for good selling, .there being a good variety of the finny tribe on the stalls. A large offering of fowls was noticed, but laying hens called for little demand. A.little comment was made on the size of the broilers, those on sale only averaging half pound to a .pound. It is believed that if farmers and chicken raisers, would hold their stock until they grow. s> little larger, they would find beL- r ter prices than those now prevailing- There was. a good supply and demand for cauliflower, tomatoes and celery plants, while the out flowers also' came in for brisk selling. * ��������� ��������� Potatoes, per sack 1.60 to $2.00 Potatoes, per ton 32 Carrots, per sack l-^5 Beets,, per sack I-00' Seed potatoes, per ton ��������� 27 to $30 Parsnips,, per sack LOO Lettuce, per bunch oc Onions, 2 bunches ;������c Rhubarb, per bunch 10c plumed and gilded the left wing of the Guardian Angel, 4 francs IT centimes; .washed the servant of the High Priest, and put carmine on his cheeks, 5 francs 12 centimes; renewed heaven, adjusted two stars gilded the sun, and renewed the moon, 7 francs 14 centimes; re-animated the flames of purgatory, and restored some souls, 6 francs 6 centimes; revived the flames of helk.put a new tail on the devil, .mended his hoof, and did several jobs for the damned, 4 francs 10 put new spatterdashes on the 3on of Tobias, and dressing on his back, 2 francs 7 centimes,- put ear* rings in the ears of Sarah, 2 francs 4 centimes; re-bordered the robe of Herod, and re-adjusted his wig, 4 francs 4 centimes; p^ut a new stone in David's sling, enlarged the. head of Goliath, and extended his legs, 3 francs 2 centimes; decorated Noah's ark, 3 francs; mended the shirt of the Prodigal Son and cleaned the pigs,-4 francs 9 centimes.

Eggs and Butter The fungi belonging to the. first ggggj retail, per dozen ooC group can generally be destroyed EggSj wholesale"- by spraying with suitable fungicides when they appear, but those of Group 2 are not affected by such spraying. Their entrance into the tissues is,to be prevented by spray ing before innoculation takes place. This requires that all the .suscepl- able area be thoroughly coated with the spray, and if growth is taking place, as in the spring and eany summer, spraying must be repeated to cover the new growth as long as there is danger of serious inoc- nlation. The fungous diseases causing most serious loss in the province* are: 1. Black Spot Canker. 2. The Brown Rot of the Plum Prune and Cherry. 3. Apple /Scab . Black Spot Canker. This dis . ease causes the death of large areas of the bark and outer wood, principally of the apple: It is of consequence only where fall rains are plentiful, in combination with mild weather.

"I want you to. know our whole Glub procedure. Our toast, girls." In suppressed astonishment, Mr. Bertwin watched .the uplifted faces turned towards the painting over the mantel, heard the low, "God bless her," then listened like a man in a trance as those youthful creatures, in the bloom of life, sang their mournful song, "I'm a pilgrim, and I'm a stranger, I can tarry, I can tarry but a night." "Why do you sing such sad things?" he said to Judy. , | "Because we are so happy, sir." 5, "Is that the truth?" I "Yes sir, barring a few growls at things in general, we have light ���������hearts." , F.irefly who was listening, burst out with a remark, in her impetuous1 fashion, "It's Judy, sir, and Peanuts,' and Jane who sweep us along on their tide of Puritanism. They adore heavy hymns and mournful songs." The Ehree girls turned to the Westerner Tvith flashing eyes. Peanuts began to splutter a remark about "The grand old hymns of the church," wften she remembered' the presence of strangers, and denying herself the luxury of a controversy, burst into a merry. laugh in which her comrades joined her. Mr. Bertwin gave them a piercing, comprehensive glance, then looked at the mantel. "I recognize' that paint- anon.'' Won't Firefly be mad with me!" and she glanced apprehensively over her shoulder. Firefly was surveying her wtih a curious, half-approving, haif-doubtful glance. Judy bade Mara's father adieu quietly, then went to sit by thu fire her head propped in her hands. The girls were all gathered by the table, laughing and joking In reality about trifles, but to tlie tired Judy their attitude seemed suspicious. "They've got some secret between them," she muttered gloomily, "and I'm out of It. They're tired of me for president. I'll resign. Girls," she exclaimed suddenly springing up, "make Firefly president of the Club. I'm not fit for the office." Firefly caught her by the hand. "You're cross and excited. Girls, you can wind up here without us. Mara don't sit up for me. I'll be late." o CHAPTER XVIII The Story of a Conspiracy.. Judy hung back, but Firefly pullc1 her along the hall to her room, locked the door, and drew- two chairs up to the radiator. "Sit here child," she said, "and I'M explain everything. First, though, I'll cake down your hair, and help you off with that tight dress." . "My, dress isn't tight, but the' air is," said Judy poutingly. "It's bursting with mystery." - r "So it is," said Firefly soothingly, "but you'll soon see through it. Oh! Judy, what a week I've had." "Tell me wlAt you brought that old blank-walled sphinx here to-night for, with the melancholy Jew," said Judy fiercely. . Firefly began to laugh. "Oh, Judy, it's so funny.

"What kind of a woman is Mara's haven't hurt him much, though you did' deal him a most scientific blow. We'll look after him." "Please don't have him arrested," said Mara. "Take him in your nice house there, and look after him. He is a brother fallen in sin." The two young men stared at her, and then at each other. Finally they got hold of the sinful brother, and carried him' to the basement of their club house. Before they did. this, one of them whom I might as well say here was John Bertwin, only son and heir of the man who was here this evening, said politely, 'Will you.care to hear how the man gets on?' " 'Oh, if you please,' said Mara softly. - " 'And your address,' he said suggestively. " 'Miss Ostro, Bradford House,' she said, then we hurried away. When a week later, Mara received a note informing her courteously that the man who had attempted to assault her was, a respectable working man when not under the, influence of drink, and that he apologized humbly for his conduct that evening, I supposed the incident was -closed." "Was the note from Mr. Bertwin?", asked Judy. "Yes, and here beginneth the history of my troubles. John Bertwin had fallen in love .with Mara. He didn't kaiow who she was. He didn't care.

(By special cable) London. ��������� The first court scandal in-King George's reign exploded with violence, when The Gazette announced officially the dismissal of the Rev. Frederick Perctval Farrar, the King's domestic chaplain, and also honorary chaplain to Queen Alexandra. Charges of drunkenness and immorality have been made against the deposed King's chaplain, and they are now being "investigated by the Bishop Gf Norwich. The disgraced clergyman has been rector of Sandringham, where the favorita residence of the late King Edward and of Queen Alexandra was situated. It is understood that he has resigned, his rectorship in consequence of the onarges against him, and a startling report is abroad that the Rev. Farrar is missing and that search is being made for him. * He is a son of the late Dean Farrar, and only last July he married Miss Nora Davis, a sister of Richard Harding Davis, the author, and a daughter of the kite Clarke Davis, of Philadelphia. The wedding was attended by many prominent society people of London. Members of the Royal family sent wedding gifts, those of King George, Queen Mary and Queen Alexandra being especially handsome. !

Faitht'ull Bcgg, treasurer, who presided, said that no country could show such a remarkable advance in progress as Cauad-'i during the past five years. Canada had done Its part nobly in the recent elections and it was for the United Kingdom" now to do hers and show appreciation of 'the efforts of the Dominion in tho cause of imperial unity. A. W. Smititers, chairman of the G. T. R.. thought the British Government was discreditable ifor investigating the emigration-question so unscientifically. The Dominion doesn't want - the riffraff of our cities, and he ap: pealed to the Government to transform unemployed casual labor into citizens 'acceptable to Canada.

Councillor Bell introduced tne Noxious Weeds By-law and- tne council decided to enforce the uy- law and ordered that all Canadian thistles be cut by July 20th. The clerk stated that the titua was very short in which to get out rate notices, and that the assessor had offered help in the matter. The Municipal Rate By-law was introduced for 1st reading. Bell-Lehman, that the Municipal Rate be the same as last year, l. e. iV/2 mills on wild land; 10 mills on real property and 2% on school. Three councillors voted for and one against,. Ware-Roberts, that the Rate Bylaw passed the second reading. A long discussion ensued'^and it was stated that without extra taxes the road work could not go on; 'Applications were received at bV- ery meeting asking for new roads. So much of the land was held by real estate men, land that had gone up from 10 to 100 per acre. Years ago the tax from the wild lands paid for the road work, but now the wild land tax gets less each year and the road work increases. The clerk stated that if the rates were levied the same as last yeai, with the increased assessment the raise would be 25 per cent as the 2 mills for road labor was now u- bandoned. The Reeve said he acknowledged that money was wanted for road work', but he did not think rates should be raised without reference to the people.
