FARM NOTES.
—A lecture on the spread of parasitic
diseases among plants was delivered before
the Massachusetts Horticultural Society,
March 27th, by Dr. Erwin F. Smith, of
the United States Department of Agricul-
ture. In substance his remarks were :
I shall for fie most part neglect the well-
known dissemination of parasites by wind
and water, and deal chiefly with the meth-
ods which are to a larger extent within our
control. Farmers, fruit growers, florists,
and market gardeners are not infrequently
“responsible for the spread of diseases.
There “are now so many who grow crops
for market, and the competition is so close
and the profitsso small, that even the most
experienced must stop every leak in his
expenses. Therefore the avoidance of
parasitic diseases is most important.
Most diseases which prevail extensively
and are known as ‘‘catching’’ diseases are
due to parasites. These plant parasites are
plants or animals which have in some way
lodged on or gained an entrance into the
“host-plant’’ and there multiply to its
detriment. Many of these organisms are
exceedingly small, so as to be over-looked,
and are well proyided with means of repro-
duction. We speak of saprophytes and
parasites, the former being fungi which
derive their nourishment from dead and
. decaying substances, and the latter nour-
ished at the expense of other living organ-
isms. The most of this address will be de-
voted to showing how certain parasites
succeed in getting from one plant to anoth-
er. It is commonly assumed that their
reproductive bodies, floating through the
air, lodge on the plants ; but I am inclined
to believe that often the chief danger of in-
fection lies in other directions, for reasons
which I will now explain.
The gnawings, borings, and punctures of
insects, though often injurious are by no
means the whole of the injury which they
do. Pear blight : It has been discovered
that the germs of this disease were car-
ried on the mouth parts of hees, which had
visited blighted pear blossoms ; that the
bees passed from such flowers to healthy
ones ; and that subsequently the blight
appeared on the latter. It was also shown
that flowers covered with mosquito net re-
mained free from blight, while the unpro-
tected, insect-visited ones blighted freely.
Apparently pear blight is disseminated
only through the agency of insect visits.
The organism exudes from the tree in the
form of small sticky or gammy masses, and
probably all the spring outbreaks of pear
blight start from them as a result of insect
visits, and not from the soil. Bacterial
wilt of cucumbeis, musk melons, pumpkins,
and squashes : This is due to a sticky
white micro-organism which fills the water
ducts of the plants and causes a sudden
collapse of the plant. It is readily com-
municated by the striped cucumber beetle
and by squash bugs. The insects carry
the virulent sticky germs on their beaks
and deposit them in the next plant bitten.
Bacterial brown rot of the potato, tomato,
and egg plant : The Department of Agri-
culture has recently - published a bulletin
on this subject. Insects feed on the dis-
eased plants that are swarming with the
parasite, and go to other plants which are
bitten and subsequently become diseased.
The disease may be known by the sudden
"wilt of the foliage, the stems becoming
brown internally and shrivelling.
The damage done by these animals as
carriers of disease is greater than the in-
juries they induce by feeding. I shall refer
to a few cases only. [1] Wagner's ex-
periments with snails : A German of the
name of Wagner experimented with downy
and powdery mildews, ascomycetous fungi,
and rust fungi. Snails ‘were transferred
from diseased to healthy plants and the
latter became infected. They were fed
various parasitic fungi and a subsequent
examination of the excreta showed that the
spores of these fungi passed through the
animals uninjured and in condition to
germinate. [2.] Mr. Galbraith, an Eng-
lishman, living in the Seychelles Islands,
"has found snails largely responsible for a
disease of the vanilla prevalent in those
islands. [3.] The bacterial brown rot of
cabbage : This blackens the vines, causes
the leaves to fall off, and prevents the
formation of heads. I have found that the
common green-house slug disseminates the
micro-organism to which this is due, and
insects also probably carry the disease.
—Barnyard manure always contains a
great variety of organisms, most of which
are harmless to plants. But sometimes
spores of parasites get in through fodder or
bedding and oftener through mouldy or
rotting vegetables thrown on the pile. [1]
The watermelon wilt : This disease lives
_over winter in the dead stems and grows
readily in manure. I investigated a case
where a planter in South Carolina lost near-
ly his whole crop by this disease, the plants
being more severely attacked in the place
which had been most carefully manured.
In order to have a fine crop the planter had
raked stubble from the whole farm, includ-
ing refuse from the last year’s melon field,
where there had been some disease, and
made a compost heap in his barnyard. He
had unwittingly made an immense culture
bed of his manure pile, and when the in-
fected manure was put. under his melon
hills the most disastrous results followed.
{2.] Smut diseases : Some of the smut
diseases are well known to be transmissible
through fresh manure. and this should
never be used on fields or cereals. [3.]
Other diseases : Cucumbers, turnips and
other plants bave become diseased in this
way, and it should be remembered that
manure should at least be kept free from
the rubbish of plants that have been dis-
eased
Certain parasitic diseases live and multi-
ply in the soil as saprophytes, ready when
opportunity offers to become parasites.
These soil fungi get from field to field,some
times by irrigation or by floods ; sometimes
hy the plough or tools. Onion smut, potato
scrab, etc., are examples of these soil para-
sites. I shall mention particularly only
one type—the Fusorium diseases of the
United States. I now know of eight culti-
vated plants subject to them. In all the
trouble is due to a parasitic clogging of the
water ducts. The plants I have found
80 affected are cotton, cow pea, water mel-
on, cabbage, potato, tomato, sweet potato
and pine apple. The cause of the trouble
is too frequent growing of the same crop
on one piece of ground, and the best reme-
dy is a wide rotation.
Disease is also spread by the way of seeds,
buds, tubers, cuuuiugs: and nursery stock.
In oats and wheat-the smut spores adhere
to the kernels, germinate at the same time
and bore into the young seedlings. Many
diseases are distributed in bulbs but the
most wholesale manner of distribution is
through the medium of irresponsible nur-
serymen. In this way all sorts of fungi and
insects pests are spread from one end of the
country to the other. The San Jose scale
has heen distributed in this way.
End of the War in Sight.
Intervention by the Powers Between Greece and
Turkey Seems Assured.—Significant Talk in
Athens.—The Representatives of Italy and
Austria Hold a Conference With Two Ministers.
—AIl Hope in Epirus Abandoned.—The Populace
Indignant at the Action of Prince Constantine
in Filling the Train With His Baggage in the
Flight From Larissa'—The Two Fleets of Greek
Warships Continue to be Inactive'—Lord Salis-
bury's Proposition for a Conference In Paris
Being Considered by the Powers.
The situation in the east remains practi-
cally unchanged. Although the Greek
army are drawn up in battle array in the
vicinity of Pharsalos there has been no at-
tacks on the stronghold by the army of
Turkey. The Athenians continue to evince
their displeasure at the action of the gov-
ernment and Prince Constantine’s retreat
from Larissa. The Greek fleets remain
idle.
From Epirus comes the report that the
campaign there has been given up, and all
hope of continuing the war has been aban-
doned by the Greeks.
Intervention by the powers seems to be
an assured fact. The Italian and Austrian
Ministers held a long conference with M.
Ralli and M. Scoulodis yesterday, and the
interview is looked upon in the Greek cap-
ital as significant. The powers are said to
be considering the proposition of Lord
Salisbury for a conicrence in Paris with a
view of settling the affair.
Germany and Austria are agreed upon
the question of laying an indemnity upon
Greece, and insist that it shall not be done.
The representatives of the two powers are
urging the sultan to modify his demands.
ATHENIANS INDIGNANT.
LoNDON, May 2nd—The Athens cor-
respondent of the Daily Mail will say to-
morrow :
‘‘Both the fleets remain idle. The pop-
ulace continues indignant at the filling of
the railway carriages with Crown Prince
Constantine’s baggage in the flight from
Larissa, despite the protests of the railway
officials. The people say that they have
been cheated and betrayed.
‘“They are also angry at the neglect of
the government to call out the exempted
reserves, who are for the most part relatives
of ministers, deputies and aristocrats.
‘A band of 2,000 irregulars is about to
start for the front, their standard bearer, a
19-year-old girl, Helen Constantinidis,
dressed in the same uniform as the men.
WAR PREPARATIONS IN CONSTANTINOPLE.
CONSTANTINOPLE, May 2nd—War prepa-
rations go on with unabated vigor. The
commissions, composed of officials of the
ministry of the public works and of war,
have been formed for the purpose of in-
specting railways and facilitating the dis-
patch of troops to the front.
It has been decided to extinguish the
torches in all the lighthouses on the gulf of
Smyrna as far as Karaburum during the
continuance of the war. It is officially
announced that the Greek residents in Tur-
key may become naturalized as an alterna-
tive to leaving the country. This will be
compulsory for all Greeks officially employ-
ed in Turkey.
The Porte has undertaken to provide
guards for the protection of the American
missions in Asia Minor, and has promised
that these shall not be removed without
the consent of the American Legation.
LIFE IN THE GREEK ARMY.
LoNDON, May 1.—The following letter,
written in Larissa before the fighting be-
gan, gives an interesting picture of Greek
army life:
The habits of this people are dirty and
barbarous. They use fingers when eating,
and serve out food with them also. The
sanitary arrangements are terribly bad, al-
most beyond imagination of English peo-
ple.
This is a poverty-stricken country, rocky
and unfertile. There are.22 Britons in our
barracks, mostly old soldiers, and they say
they never had to exist on such little food
before. This is the dietary : At 7a. m.,
spoonful of coffee with a piece of dry bread;
at 11:30 a. m., maccaroni ; at 6 p. m.,
bread and cheese and water. Altogether,
the meals are shockingly insufficient. No
English regiment could stand it in bar-
racks.
We got desperate Good Friday at having
nothing to eat, so 12 of us went into a cafe
and ordered lamb cutlets with potatoes,
beer root, etc., which we washed down
with 16 quarts of wine. We stayed about
four hours, singing and enjoying ourselves.
The bill came to 20 drachmas. which is
about ten shillings ($250). The bill is
still on the slate. The restaurant keeper
will be paid when we get money.
I went down to the sea yesterday with
some friends. We visited the Piraeus,
about seven miles from the city. Aftera
bath in the sea we hired a boat and put out
to the British warship Nile, but we were
not allowed to go aboard. It was hard.
lines, because we would have heen able to
get some tobacco and perhaps a biscuit or
two; which would have heen a Godsend.
When war is declared we shall be mas-
sacred, I believe. It will be the easiest
thing possible for the Turks to wipe the
Greeks off the face of the earth.

Seven Negroes Killed by People of Their Race.
At Houston, Texas, for three murders,
ravishing two girls and burning down
the humble home of their victims and in-
cinerating the bodies, six—perhaps seven—
negroes Friday night suffered the death
penalty at the hands of a mob of their own
race. Last night at 12 o’clock a mob of ne-
groes took from a room at Sunnyside, Texas,
where they were being guarded, Fayette
Rhone, aged 21; Will Gates, 35; Lewis
Thomas, 20; Aaron Thomas, 13; "Jim
Thomas, 14 ; Benny Thomas 15 ; [the four
latter being brothers,] and Will Williams,
all negroes and hanged the first six named
to an oak tree
The seventh was hanged but has disa-
peared. Several shots were heard shortly
after the mob took them from the room and
he may have tried to escape. The negroes
all confessed to having murdered Henry
Daniels, an old negro, his stepdaughter Ma-
rieand a seven year-old child, burning the
bodies of the two oldest by setting fire to
the cabin where the crime occurred and
throwing the little one’s body into a well.
Old man Daniels had the proceeds of a rob-
bery which the Thomas boys had commit-
ted and they demanded it of him under
pain of death. They outraged the grown
Zr) ana the 7 year-old girl and then killed

of Townships are Fire
‘Wardens.
Constables
Many inquiries have been made by con-
stables as to what their duties are and the
time when their service begins as fire
wardens, we hereby publish the act, which
was signed by Governor Hastings, March
30th, 1897.
“Section 1. Beit enacted, &e. That on
and after the first day of January, Anno
Dominione thousand eight hundred and
ninty-eight, the constables of the various
townships of the commonwealth shall be
ex-officio fire wardens, whose duty it. shall
be, when fire is discovered in the forests
within their respective townships, imme-
diately to take such measures as are neces-
sary for its extinction, and to this end to
have authority to call.upon any person or
persons within their respective townships
for assistance ; the said fire wardens to re-
ceive fifteen [15] cents per hour, and the
persons so assisting [12] cents per hour,
as compensation for their services ; the
expense thereof shall be paid, one-half out
of the treasury, of the respective county,
and the remaining half of said expense
shall he paid by the state treasurer into the
treasury of said county, out of moneys not
other wise appropriated, upon warrant
from the auditor general, a written item-
ized statement of such expense, and until
the same is appropriated by the auditor
general : Provided, That no county shall
be liable to pay for this purpose, in any
one year, an amount exceeding five hun-
dred dollars.
‘Section 2. Any person who being
called upon by the fire warden of his town-
ship to furnish assistance in extinguishing
forest fires as provided in section one shall,
without reasonable cause, refuse to render
such assistance, upon conviction thereof
shall pay a fine not exceeding ten dollars,
or undergo imprisonment not exceeding
thirty days, or both, at the discretion of
the court.
Section - 3. The fire wardens of each
township throughout the commonwealth
shall, in the first week of each term of the
court of quarter sessions of their respective
counties, make returns to said court under
oath or affirmation, of all violations occur-
ring within their respective townships
which may come or be brought to their
notice of any of the provisions of any law,
now enacted, or hereafter to be enacted for
the purpose of protecting forests from fire,
and it shall be the special duty of the
judge of said courts to see these returns are
faithfully made; and on failure of any
warden to comply with this provision, or
if it be found upon examination-or inquiry
by said court that any fire warden has
either willfully or negligently omitted
to report all such violations occurring
within his township, or having
failed to perform his duty as set
forth in section one of this act, such fire
warden or constable shall he deemed guilty
of willfully or negligently making a false
return, or neglect of duty, and the court
shall suspend him from office and direct
the district attorney to indict and try him,
and if found guilty, he shall be fined in a
sum not exceeding three months, both or
either, at the discretion of the court.
“Section 4. The term forest therein
used shall not, for the purposes of this bill
be held to include an area of timber land
or brush land of less than fifty acres in ex-
tent, unless such said area shall by prox-
imity to other timber land be liable to con-
vert fire to‘an area of brush land containing
at least fifty acres.”
Injured by X Rays.
Mrs. S. H. Sharpstein lies in the New
York Post-Graduate hospital at Bingham-
ton, in a critical condition as the result of
an X-ray experiment performed by her
husband, who is an expert electrician in
this city. Wilmot Lanning, a youth of 18
years, is lying at his home suffering from
burns in the groin that will not heal, also
the result of an experiment by Mr. Sharp-
stein.
The experiment was an attempt to make
anX-ray picture of the hips of both sub-
jects, Mrs. Sharpstein was exposed with
her clothes on for 30 minutes to the Crooke
tube.” The sores appear to fall off. The
cases have no parallel, so far as known in,
this country. A skin-grafting operation
will be attempted on Mrs. Sharp tein.
The nerve tissues about her hips are said
to be dead, and the operation may not be
a success.
Treatment of a Bruise.
To prevent a bruise from becoming dis-
colored, apply immediately water as hot at
can be borne comfortably, changing the
cloth as soon as it loses its heat. If hot
water is not to be had at once, moisten
some dry starch with cold water and cover
the bruised part with it. ’

The Hartsville College, situated at Harts-
ville, Indiana, was founded years ago in
the interest of the United Brethren church,
when the state was mostly a wilderness,
and colleges were scarce. The college is
well known throughout the country, former
students’ have gone into all parts of the
world.
A reporter recently called at this famous
seat of learning and was shown into the
room of the President, Prof. Alvin P.
Barnaby. When last seen by the reporter
Prof. Barnaby was in delicate health. To-
day he was apparently in the best of health.
I% Sosponte to an inquiry the professor
said :
‘Oh, yes, Iam much better than for
some time. I am now in perfect health ;
but my recovery was brought about in
rather a peculiar way.’
‘Tell me about it,”’ said the reporter.
“Well, to begin at the beginning,” said
the professor, ‘‘I studied too hard when at
school, endeavoring to educate myself for
the professions. After completing the com-
mon course I came here, and graduated
from the theological course. I entered the
ministry, and accepted the charge of a
United Brethren church at a small place in
Kent county, Mich. Being of an ambitious
nature, I applied myself. diligently to my
work and studies. In time I noticed that
my health was failing. My trouble was
indigestion, and this with other troubles
brought on nervousness. 5
“My physician prescribed for me fo
some time, and advised me to take a change

as professor in physics and chemistry, and
later was financial agent of this college.
The change agreed with me, and for awhile
my health was better, but my duties were
heavy, and again I found my trouble re-
turning. This time it was more severe and
in the winter I became completely pros-.
trated. I tried various medicines and dif-
ferent physicians. Finally, I was able to
return to my duties. Last spring I was
elected president of the college. Again I
had considerable work, and the trouble,
which had not been entirely cured, began
to affect me, and last fall I collapsed. I
had different doctors, but none did me any
good. Professor Bowman, who is professor
of natural science, told me of his experience
with Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale
People and urged me to give them a trial,
because they had benefited him in a similar
case, and I concluded to try them.
‘The first box helped me, and the sec-
ond gave great relief, such as I had never
experienced from the treatment of any
physician. After using six bottles of the
medicine I was entirely cured. To-day I
am perfectly well. I feel better and
stronger than for years. I certainly recom-
mend this medicine.’’
To allay all doubt Prof. Barnaby cheer-
fully made an affidavit before

and instructed to scrape all roads in their
respective townships at least three times a
year—spring, summer and autumn, particu-

by heavy rollers. This will brotect the

Catarrh and Eye Trouble Cured by Dr. Salm.
For several years, my daughter Dilla, has had
a bad case of Catarrh accompanied by all the
usual symptoms attending the disease. Catching
cold continually. At last the eyes became afflict-
ed, they become weaker and weaker from in-
flammation, then we became alarmed, and
brought her to Dr. Salm. After a course of treat-
ment, she is now, thanks to his skill, entirely
cured. Jaco B. MAURER.

After Having Tried Buffalo, Pittsburg, Greensburg

Grew Worse, but Dr. Salm Cured
Her at Last.
For more than 10 years I have been leading a
miserable existence, on account of illness. I had
tried at least 10 doctors in Buffalo, Pittsburg,
Greensburg and surrounding towns. My suffer-
ing grew worse and worse. I became thin, too
weak to work, and passed many sleepless nights.
Couldn’t eat, my stomach was out of order, and my
nerves seemed all unstrung. I don’t want to live
through another such a time, for anything in the
wide—wide world, and often I have prayed‘to die.
After I had Zivsn up all hope of enjoying health
again, I decided to consult Dr. Salm, and, thank
the good Lord, that I did so. After a course ot
treatment, I once more enjoy fine health, eat,
sleep and work once more, as heretofore. Iam
truly grateful to Dr. Salm. He certainly under-
stands his business, as my case is not the only
wonderful cure he has performed in this county.

tend’to my labors. I tried 8 different doctors, so
said, the best in our country, but I got worse in-
stead of..better, at last I went to Dr. Salm, who
makes regular visits to Sunbury, and thanks to
his skillful treatment, [ am now entirely cured.

Every Body Ought to Know What Dr. Salm did
for Me. He Cured Me of a Fearful Skin
Disease.
For more than 4 years I have had a most terri-
ble skin trouble. J Hed to be covered, like a
fish with scales all over my body, even to my face
not excepting my eyes. The pain was almost un-
endurable, and I walked the floor many a night,
on account of my Remy. To work, was out of the
question, nor could I wash myself. I tried 5 of
our best doctors, spent money on patent medi-
cines, such as Cuticura, Golden Medical Discov-
ery Ointments, etc., got treatment from Pierce
Medical Institute, Buffalo, but it went from worse
to worse. Then I heard of Dr. Salm’s wonderful
cures in this neighborhood, took his treatment,
and to-day, I am a new man. No more skin troub-
le. I am working again, and as well as ever.
Every body ought to know this. :

Bad Case of Sore Eyes Cured by Dr. Salm.
Ever since I was a babe, I have suffered with
sore eyes. They became very painful, and with
every cold I took, and that was often enough
they became worse and worse. Little scales had
to be removed from the lashes every morning,
and the margin of the lids began to look like
raw beef; of course all this didn’t enhance my
eye-sight, nor improve ny appearance. The doc-
tors around here didn't do any good, my eyes got
worse and worse. Iam now 20 years oid, I went
to Dr. Salm, and he has done wonderful work. No
more redness, no scales forming, soreness has al-
most entirely left, and my eye-sight is better.
1 know I will be cured in a short time.
