It is diflicult to exnlain the origin 'of this trouble, but it is evidently of a bacterial nature. It appears to - live over the winter just in the mar- ‘ gin of the afiected part, near the healthy wood, and not in other parts ‘ of the tree or in the soil. Mr. W. i T. Macoun of the Experimental Farm 1 agrees with Mr. MacKinnon, Chiefl oi the Fruit Division, that the only: remedy is to cut out the blighted' . branches well below the affected 1 part, say one foot below any appear- ‘ance of blight. The knife USBd for this purpose should be thoroughly cleaned or sterilized before being again used on healthy wood. It is fortunate that the disease sometimes I dies out of its own accord, especially i in the case of the body blight. It is = said to be conveved from tree to tree . by bees and insects, which would ac~ icount for the great increase at blos- g soming time. The blight appears to l develop very rapidly, and the maxi- .‘mum amount of damage is done al- ? most as soon as the attack becomes lnoticeable. It will probably be found that the fall is the best time to cut T out the affected wood, as the damage will not be much. if any. greater then than at present, and in the fall one may make sure of getting all the blighted portions. , show that prices in fruit especiallv are often sadly depressed {or the want of selling abilitv on the part of the small grower. It therefore be. hooves the more intelligent and larg- er grower to interest himself in the fruit of his less fortunate neighbor. APPLE BLIGHT. Anumber of reports from widely separated districts. complaining of the ravages of the apple blight have been received by the Fruit Division, Ottawa. Mr, Peter Anderson. Hep. worth, Ont., thus describes the situa. tion in his locality :-â€"“ Apples, both early and winter. are sufiering from a new disease here. A blight struck the blossoms when in full bloom and withered them as if they had been scorched by fire. It is now withering the small twigs and limbs in the way. The tops of the trees look as if tire had been applied to about one- half of the smaller branches until the leaves were all crisp and brown. and even the wood, as far as this ex- tend. is evidently dead.” Mr. Arch MacColl. Aldboru, Ont.. writes that many orchards in his locality are al- most completely ruined by blight, and that out out. ‘ Miss Maggie Brown is visiting with ;her sister. Mrs. J. \VaLt. of Durham. Miss Mary CalverL entertained a number of Mount, Forest, friends {Thursday last. : Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Pegglent, to! Toronto, visited for a. few days at fthe home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Piu- 7der. As anything which stimulates an undue growthof succulent wood is conducive to blight, it would be well {or the orchardist to cultivate and manure so as to produce a medium growth of strong health wood.

We have a poor man here who has consumption. He has a wife and family of five children. He has been sick and off work for four months already.

I think the father would be better if he had the proper care, but here in the midst-of his family it is impossible to give him proper treatment. If we can place him in the Consumption Hospital for care and treat- ment, then the people here can manage to look after the family until he is re- stored to health.
