Fall Planting OF Small Fruits.

It is urged by the Fruit Record that those
contemplating setting small fruits should
give one trial at least to fall setting. All
that is necessary is, to either back up over
the roots with earth, or throw forkful Of
litter over each plant, before tho ground
freezes up, and In the spring haul this'away.
First, because they get settled in their place,
and getting the benefit Of early spring rains,
start early, and make a full growth next
season, while, it set ne It spring. It cannot
be done properly until the ground is settled
and the heavy spring rains have ceased.
Second, all fruit growers know how pressed
they are for time in the spring. Third,
raspberries and blackberries have very ten
der germs that start very early in the spring,
and these are likely to be broken of if set
then, while, if set in the fall. they have not
started enough to damage them in trans-
planting. And fourth, but not least, q
much larger proportion Of them live when
set in the fall-a fact abundant in itself to
show the superior merits of fall planting
especially of blackberries, raspberries, cur.
rants, grapes and such sorts.

DIR. Erastus S. Borwen, the veterinary
surgeon of the Chicago Fire Department,
and one of the oldest practitioners in his
line in the state, has been interviewed in
relation to the new horse disease which has
appeared in Rock Island as we'll as other
cities of the west.
He said that pink eye was an entirely
new disease, which neither he nor any vet
erinarian of his acquaintance had ever
heard of before. He said that he had seen
seven dead horses this morning, on his way
around the city, and in his private practice
outside of the department he has 100
horses that are down with it. He reports
thirteen cases in the Fire Department, but
has yet to meet his first fatal one
The disease first makes its appearance
with either a running at the eyes or swell
ing around the nose; the legs swell up the
horse feels dumpish, and 6 high fever sets
in. The horses quit eating drop their
heads and act in very lifeless manner.
The principal point is to break the fever,
and as soon as the fever is broken the an
imals get well. In his treatment he uses
aconite. belladona and arsenicum, and also
sweats the horses about the head and throat
to draw out the inflammation. If they
won't eat bran he gives them oats, and if
they wont eat oats he gives them ears of
corn. They should be encouraged to eat,
and should be watered often. He does net
believe in giving the afflicted animals warm
bran or any kind Of hot food.
