In some parts of the country sun . :scald is one of the most important fac- s g y p s 2 y » gh n" l y s ' P . s v P s g I {tors in growing Iruit trees. Especial- _ ’ly is this true in the Southwestern histates, where the danger from sun- S’burning controls the whole practice oi ~~cultivation.and pruning. In that coun- "try the trees are headed low. even ~down to within a foot or six inchesot the ground; in order to protect the trunks. At the same time any consid- -erable pruning in the tops is avoided. because it would expose the larger branches to the deadly sun scald. This diiiiculty is less frequently met in the northeastern states, butthe writer (F. . A.’}Wau‘gh, in 'The Country Gentleman) 'has lately visited an orchard as tar north‘as-Canada and New England line, where nearly 50 per cent of the ‘trees were ruined by this trouble. They were pruned too high. with heads six seven and eightlteet from the ground. : Sun scald is usually worse on apples mud pears, but it may appear on al- most any tree. The accompanying il- lustration is from a tree of Downer's Late Red cherry grow (or dying) in ‘Maryland. _When the damage is as old {as this, where it has been accumulat- .ing for several years, it is doubtful if any remedy can be applied, though . one can see in the photograph how per. sistently this tree has tried to heal over the wound. When taken in the early stages, sun scald may be cured by protecting the trunk with boards,, pa. fliers, straw or some similar material. At the same'time the scaly, M burned parts should be cleaned away, and .some sort of wax maybe applied. The ‘best treatmenti’or~ sun scald, however, is to avoid it. ‘ - Sunburns are usually only the bet- r-ginning of other serious troubles. Ber- ers commonly follow closely after Bacteria and molds gain access and cause increased damage to wood and bark, and the rain and sun check and crack the exposed tissues, to their great and permanent detriment. It is doubtless a fact that sun scald £1. a -more important enemy of fruit trees - than many of the fungi that have been extensively studied and elaborately discussed in recent books and bullet “ins. Mnre Sure of Success. Agricultural success is becoming .more certain. We are acquiring more .of a love for the occupation. raise snore of a diversity of crops, till smal~ Lier farms and are acquiring a better .knowledge of the business. A great «deal more interest is being taken in the surroundings and we see many fiarm homes with nice level lawns, kept as neat as those in the city, and the house supplied with modern con- veniences. The brighter side of agri- cultural life is more discernable, di- -1'ersliied farming causes the agricul- -'Lurist to be less discouraged with a partial or even an entire failure of one or more of his crops. He has thus fortified himself against disastrous fail- ures and has become a contented and successful busines man. I The Rose Slug. To get rid of rose slugs the worll must be undertaken before a bug is to The seen. While buds on rose bushes are very small and before the bugs shave begun to appear, the surrounding soil should be soaked with kerosene emulsion and have rienty of soot sift= -cd on. I treated two or three large rose bushes by stirring the soil 'fon about two feet around the bush, dig- ging down as deep as I could without disturbing the roots. then mixed in 1‘: lot of manure. After smoothing and pounding it down with the spade, l laid flat stones all over to keep the thickens off. Two or three times be- fore the roses were in bloom, I lifted :lhe stones and picked out the grub- ".i’orms which I found very thick di- rectly under the stones, then sprinkle the ground with kerosene emulsion and soot. When the bushes were covered with roses what a relief it was not to see the bugs. Soot is also good for killing currant worms and should be put on while the bush is dampâ€"Maria Sin Farm and Home. in Germany 11,585,000 persons are deemed.

Then, to fill my cup of befuddlement full, she used her refined ideas 'on the spelling of a. ood man of the names, and put Smith as .‘Sm the,’ Link Brown as ‘Launcelot Brewne‘,’ Perry Flier as ‘Perrhyn Phy- pherre,’ and Jim Jones as ‘Jaymes- Jon nes;’ and to spill considerable of it over into the saucer, as it were, when she didn’t happen to know the customer's name, she just jetted down his most prominent peculiarity, and let it go at that. Thus, we have a ghrynde-stone charged to a phlegma'tic man whose hair liadfbéen cut with the sheep-shears; two dozen clothes-pins to the talkative old lad with a wart right here; a plug of tobacco to a lame man, and so forth; to ether with several items against the rofessor, tihe deacon, and the nice-look- in stranger who “said he’d be around to a the lust of next week.

There are in the surrounding re- gion about sixty different sorts of pro- lessors; at least thirty deacons so close- fisted that they are not in the least like- ly to pay anything they don’t have to; oodness knows how many nice-looking strangers; folks that patronize sheep- shewrs; lame men, and worthy old ladies with warts; and any self-respecting Jones would flghtinq for calling him ‘Jou hnes.’ In consequence of all of whic , when I look at the books one way, I don’t know but I’ve become a millionaire in two short weeks, and when I look at them the other way, I’m dead sure I am going over the last hill to the poorhouse.
