FARM NOTES.


following questions concerning the Yellows in
Peaches, etc.:
Will you be kind enough to answer the fol-
lowing questions:
l. Are young peach trees IN the nursery rows
subjects to yellows and can the disease be de-
tected on trees before they come into bearing?
2 Have you examined the peach trees in the
nurseries in the eastern part Of our State and
II 30 are they diseased?
To which Mr.. N. H. Bitely, of Lawton, re-
plies:
The yelows usually exhibits itself first in
bearing trees in the premature ripening of the
fruit; next in an unnatural growth of twigs on
the bodies and limbs OF the trees. The disease
may be inoculsted by budding and we have
seen the abnormal twig growth In yesrling
trees
As far as we know, the peach stock in any Of
the nurseries in the eastern part of the State
ls perfectly free from this disease.
The following letter from prominent peach
grower in Van Buren County, written US since
very full discussion Of the peach-tree disease
at the annual meeting of the State Pomoloncal
Society, gives In a nutshell what we know
about the yellows in Michigan
The following points, 1t seems to me, cover
about what we know of the yellows:
/. The disease is contagious and IN some
manner is communicated from tree to tree
from orchard to orchard and from one neigh
borhood to another.
2. 1t did not originate in Michigan, but was
probably imported from It's original home-the
peach region of New Jersery, Delaware and
Maryland.
8. Neither soil nor culture is q factor in its
spread.
4. Both budded and seeding trees aud all
varieties OF either are subject to its attack, al
though there are some facts to show that the
white fleshed varieties are more exempt.
s. 1t may be communicated from tree to tree
by the pruning knife, shears or saw, hence the
implement used in pruning tree should be
thoroughly cleansed before making cut on
another tree.
6. No remedy ls now known except to destroy
the diseased trees promptly, and to neglect
such destruction is sure death to an orchard
and all the orchards in the vicinity.
7. The prompt eradication and burning of
the diseased trees may stop it entirely in an
orchard and at least will greatly retard Its pro-
grees.
8. From the foregoing, the conclusion seems
inevitable that nothing but a stringent law for
the destruction of the diseased trees, applicable
to the whole State, diligently and energetically
enforced, will prevent the loss OF every peach
tree in the State.
Without such law we may bid long fare
well to this most luscious fruit which has 90
long been both source Of pride and revenue
to our State. With such law, so enforced
the future Of the peach will be more hopeful.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.

DAM in the right side, under the
l edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness; the bowels in gen.
eral are Costive, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally considerable loss of men,
DRY, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant. The patient complains of
weariness and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of a prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low; !;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. MCLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
simple purgative, they are unequaled.

The Yankton Press asks the newspapers
that have aided in giving currency to the
Itharges against DR.. Livingston, to seriously
consider all the facts, and give the accused
man the benefit of a fair presentation of his
case. X x 4 The Press might do
we'll to use a little moderation while it ad-
vises fairness from others.-Siour City Jour
nal.
Had the Journal so full an understanding
of case as is possessed by the Press, it would
agree with us that moderation, under all
the circumstances, is difficult to maintain.
This is lease where an innocent party is made
the victim of as devilish a conspiracy as
ever was concocted or consummated, and all
in the name of reform. The charges put
forth against DR.. Livingston bear the inn
press Of genuineness, but we happen to
know that they cannot be maintained in q
court of Justice. His detractors know this
too and their aim is to avoids legal inves-
tigation. The n thing asked for by DR.
Livingston is a trial. This we claim he has
a right to insist upon, and we cannot agree
to remain within the limits of moderation
so long as the government agents deny him
this privilege.

feet in a southeasterly course. then turning
to the south and ending abruptly at a solid
granite formation without a covering OF

opening is from two to six feet wide. 1t is
entered through two tunnel-shaped holes,

with nowhere a greater width than eight
feet. This portion Of the mountain seems
to be preparing for a big slide, no evidences
existing Of an inward caving. New cracks
are discovered almost every week, running
through sections of solid granite, and a rent
will be made in course of time dividing this
end of Bald mountain in twain.

what is best for the territory at large is best

This is the right position for the newspa-

PREVIOUS HOT SUMMERS.
st. Louis Republican

~. AOulo 1lcpuDllCdL
DR.. George Engelmann, ST., has for forty
two years, that is, since 1886, kept a minute
record of the temperature and the weather.
These records fill several large manuscript
volumes, and contain a vast amount of val.
liable meteorological statistics. A Republi-
can reporter called OH the doctor yesterday
for the purpose OF getting some information
in regard to high temperature in former
years, which the learned doctor very cheer
fully gave.
He said the hottest summers within the
period named were those of 1854 and 1868,
and for the better understanding of the rel
alive statement it. would be necessary to
give the mean temperature of the four hot
months of the season for the forty-two years
embraced in the report. The mean temper
AZURE of June for that period was TAT d..
grees July, 1913; August, 1917, and Sep
TENDER, 69.1.
The mean temperature of these months
for 1854, were as follows: June, 75.5; Au-
gust, 8l.4, and September, 76.1, being, as
will be seen, largely in excess of the aver.
age mean temperature of the forty-two
years.
The hot periods of this year were as fol-
lows: From June % to July 4, az days),

% to September 8, 70 days., from 81 to
1905.
No days were included by the doctor in
this classification of hot periods, when the
thermometer ranges below 80. During
more than a hundred consecutive days nc

article which leans strongly in the direction
of Judge Kidder for delegate to congress.
This is a symptom that the two newspapers

subject at least.
