Pear and Apple Blight.

Many apple and pear trees, at the
present time, present the appearance oI
blight the apples, by having numbe.
OF the terminal branches or twigs withel
and die, and the pears, one or more
branches Of larger size. This is no, the
result Of new blight. but of the fatal one
OF last year. Last years wood was more
or less diseascd-the bark killed, for ex-
ample, at point below the still living
buds. These buds had vigor enough
left to start and grow. but the injary wa.
too great and extensive. and death ensuec
from the final drying up and stoppage
Of the sap vessels connecting the young
branches with the trunk. We do no
think that this blight will spread over the
tree. like that Of last year. but the deat
limbs should be cleanly amputated.
The present month is about the bes
time to wash apple and pear tree bodies
and limbs, for tho destruction OF insects
and the sooner it is done the better
Take weak lye, and mix flour Of sulphur
with it. so that it is about as thick as or
