A MARKED change in the mad
dog editorials is noticeable this
summer. The belief is gaining
ground that the canine lunacy is
extremely rare, and instead Of
frantic appeals for muzzles and
indiscrimiuate fusilade by the po-
lice, the press frankly confess that
midsummer madness or hydror-
hobia has been moro prevalent
with men than with dogs. ,u

The Fruit Garden.

fruit tree never suffers from too much
manure, if the roots are healthy. II tree
seems to suffer after a heavy manurng, it
is only that it was in bad way before this.
OF course, if one were to empty cesspool,
a cart load of fresh lime, or some other in
ordinate mass OF food under tree, it would
suffer; but our meaning IS that no amount
of manure that would be found of benefit
to any regular garden will be otherwise
than beneficial to fruit tree, if the roots
be healthy. Many trees suffer from the
scale insects, AS we'll as from many other
minute animal forms, some of which take
up their winter quarters i'm some form or
other in the crevceS of the bark, or in the
crOtches of the trees. There is nothing
which pays" better than to have these
trees washed in the winter with a com
pound of sulphur and whitewash, cOlored
with ANYTHING which may be desirable, so
to make Il shade agreeable to the eye.
Many small twigs in a badly infested tree
may be cut away, so as the better to cover
with the mixture the parts which are left.
IN regard to pruning, many recommend to
defer it to spring, in order to see what may
be killed in the winter before cutting away
much. Many trees are pruned which do
not need any cutting; but where it is
ceSsary, we should operate as soon as pos
sihle after the fall of the leaf There is
less danger of any part of the tree dying in
the winter when it is pruned in autumn or
early winter This is particularly the case
with the grape vine, unless the plant has
been mildewed during the growing season,
in which case the wood does no. mature.
There is no better way to save from winter
killing than vigorous fall pruning. Gar
deners Monthly.
