I The season is fast approaching - ,.when the plague of ies worrying } cattle` may be looked for, and should i be provided against, asthe loss from `this cause in the product of milking cows is estimated to be equal to about ve dollars per cow for the season, while acorresponding loss is probablysustained in the case of cattle intended for beef. In viewof ,this, it will surely pay to b expend g some labor and money in ghting the ]pest if a fairly reliable and efficient Ispecic can be found,athe expense of (`which is not too great. Numerous preparations are advertised for this` purpose, some of which are" doubt- less as effective as and may be more ]readily prepared and applied than ;any of the homemade compounds. A preparation usedtwith fair. satis- ifactioil at the Ontario _Agricultura1 a College consists of one part of Zeno- lleum, four parts of either linseed oil or;,sh- oil, and forty parts. wat- er, mixed, thoroughly stirred, and ap- 'plied by means of a spray pump g daily. The greatest objection to this {in the case `of milking cows is the` possibility; of the mill: being tainted by the odor in the stable.

A crop of hill corn is the best of any, as it gives the opportunity to horse.culti- vate almost` the whole surface, and, after cultivation ceases, the single weeds which appear, and which .'would be sufcient, if undestroyed, to re- stock the- eld, can be seen and cut with the hoe. 1 .

It is impossible to do justicevto this triumph of energy and art without using superlatives. Two main impressions are forced on the visitor at the moment of, ent- ering the great enclosu_re, and'~the same two are his parting -impres- sions as he reluctantly leaves- to take the _last train home. It is stu- pendous, and it is dazzling. ' Canada's Palace. .The Canadian Palace stands out amidst all this magnicence with a conspicuousness and character of its own. One of the largest` sepa- rate buildings in this city "of great erections, it. is also the " purest in architecture. Some of the `palaces in the City of the Entente are of a rather rococo style--which is not out .of place in. a great_ popular ex- hibition-but the Dominion buildin is a ne specimen of pure Renais- sance design. ItVis as lofty and mas- sive as a cathedral, and is approach- ed on three sides by `ne porticos. The roof supports a- numberof hex- agonal domes, the_ central and larg- est one bearing on each _of its sides . the_ design of a great maple leaf, which is outlined at mght with elec- tric glow lamps. Ifany lingvering doubts remain in the public mind as to the success of the Franco-British Exhibition, they should be dispelled forthwith, observes the Standard of E Empire. The rapid progress towards comple- tion made during the last ten days, thebrilliant summer weather, which has converted Luondon into a city of Oriental warmth and sunshine, and the growing _crowds of visitors set -pthelseal of prosperity on the great undertaking. EN-ow that Lon- doners are in a position to appre- ; date _the* real magnicence_ of the `Exhibition, there IS every sign that their admiration will_quickly give place to their enthusiasm, and that their .enthu sia_sm will mount as the season advances to fervour.

It is, how/ever, never safe to rely upon June prospects for a harvest to be gathered in October. The summer drop and fall winds may cause a heavy reduction in the fruit now formed. In any case wisdom will be shown by taking care_ of the orchards by spraying and cultivation and, where necessary, by thinning. ` Never, since the apple became a com- , The Apple Crop. I l mercial commodity, have consumers failed to pay a fair price for such fruit placed in their hands. In a year of large yields nancial returns are sometimes better than in yearsi of comparative scarcity. When the trees are full only the best are, as an rule, gathered; when the set is thin}. stuff which should. go to cattle and? hogs or the evaporator is barrelled} up. Last season afforded a case in: point. There is every reason to be- lieve that moderately protable re- turns will be obtained this season` for good apples which pass from thei producer to consumer without an un-I ~'due shave on the `way; and the best! means of avoiding such shave will, be foiind.in _the extension of the co-l operative principle.---Weekly Sun. E Cow Testing Associations. The work of the Cow Testing As- sociations organized by the Domin- ion Department of Agriculture is still making satisfactory progress. The most noteworthy feature in con-l nection with these tests continues to, be the wide variation in results. For! example 43 `cows in an association at} Victoria, B.-C., averaged 768 lbs. of! milk testing 4.2 per cent. during the month ending May Ioth, while _` cows in the vicinity of Milton aver- - aged only 548 lbs., testing 3.6 per] cent. A still poorer showing wasgi that made by the Association in Dix-1 - ville, Que., which averaged only 451i? lbs. of milk testing 4.2 per cent. Onei ` of the best individual records madeil was by a seven-year-old now in the ` Associatiin at Innerkip, Ont. This ` cow, calving on the 25th of March,'l gave in the thirty days of April,.I,9I o( 1 lbs. of milk testing 3.3 per cent or 1 63 lbs. of butter fat for the month.
