The old method Of setting celery at

sionally followed, either by gardeners
who have done this In the old country

plants with which little is gained BY
hurrying; 1t viii not grow rapidly

Peach SurI Fungus.

To the Editor Of the Country Gentleman:
Soon after the peach leaves unfold
from the bud, aud before they have
reached one-half their natural size,
they are frequently seen to be distort-
ed into very strange shapes, and of an
unnatural color, often yariegated with
red, and otherwise highly colored.
This is the "peach curl, " and is an old
and prevalent deformity, the cause of
which has been variously ascrbed to
aphides, or plant lice, lack of some
food element i'm the soil, etc. The
trouble is due to parasite plant of
the low order of fungi, which grows
within the tissue of the young peach
leaf, and brings about the peculiar ex-
ternal appearance 80 often met with
in the peach orchard at this season of
the year. The fungus does not con-
fine itself to the leaves, but works on
in tho young stems, causing them to
take on strange shapes and unnatural
colors, and to finally wither, turn
brown, aud at last die.
The pest, though somewhat differ
ent in its manner of growth, is a close
relative of the fungus known AS the
black knot, which has proved 81 de-
structive to the plum and cherry trees.
Phe black knot il much more con-
spicuous parasite than the peach curt,
as it works almost entirely upon the
stems and even large branches, and
becomes very noticeable from the dis
tortiOns and black color which the
branches assume. The only remedy
for the "curl" is the one of the knife.
All the branches, with their leaves,
which are affected, should be cut off
and burned. The disease, If the term
disease may be used in this sensc) is
propagated by means Of small spores
that are found in the leaves later in
the season, and by burning they are
destroyed. The "curl'' is easily seen
once the eye is trained for it, aud an
orchard, unless it is badly affected,
san be gone over in short time.
There is no doubt that IL is injurious,
and it is also evident that unless
means are taken to keep it in check
the trouble may increase, and in time
become serious matter in the peach
orchards. Those who have had
their plum orchards ruined by the
black knot know something of the
way in which fungus can destroy
valuable fruit trees. The peach curl
belongs to the same destructive class.

Tho prevailing opinion is that tn,
proper time for churning Is after the
cream developes little acid. Some
prominent authorities recommend
churning the cream when sweet The
product being sweet cream butter, the
keeping qualities of this butter is
this, rs upon other points. We are
told 10y one authority that 1t has been
found that souring cream before
churning increases the production of
butter, and also produces keeping
quality of butter. There is strong
testimony, however, that butter from
sweet cream will keep as long If not
longer, than that from cream that is
slightly acid. In Fleischmann's vol
ume on mil%-which is the highest
authority in Germanyon the subject
we are told that in earlier mes, when
dairy products We're of far less account
than now, there was little occasion
for making butter that would keep
well therefore the milk was allowed
10 stand long time for the cream to
rise, and the latter was more or less
sour when churned. 1t was only
when butter came To be exported to
tropical countries, and this product
dm not keep so well as was desired,
that experiments were tiled with
sweet cream butter from cold settings
i'm deep cans. This was the Swedish
method of cold setting in deep cans,
and the result was so favorable that
exporters set TO work TO induce dairy
men TO churn the cream sweet. Like
all innovations upon established meth
DDS, the new departure met with
much opposition, but was finally
adopted in Denmark, aud has extend
ed TO other parts of the continent,
where the export butter trade is of
much importance. In Normandy and
Brctagne in French, and In parts of
Holland, where the butter is noted for
its fine aud delicate flavor, only sweet
cream is churned. Sweet cream butter
hardly needs further evidence 10 es-
tablish its keeping qualities.

character is sound and good.
A locomotive may run over it, but it

dash the reputation into a thousand

be badly wounded. Keen-edged lies and
calumnies may make the blood fly from
his reputation, and people who do not
know his worth may think he will soon
bleed to death, and marvel to see how
quickly the wound heals. His character
is healthy.

A bill before the New Yerk Legis-
lature, imposing q tax of one dollar per
head upon every immigrant at Castle
Garden has created an excitement among
the agents of the foreign steamships.
They say it is an attempt to revive the
-capitation tax, already declared unconsti-'
tutional by the United States Supreme
Court. The law attempts to evade that
decision by authorizing the commission,
ers of immigration to inspect
alien immigrants and their effects"
which is now eefectually done by the
health officer. II is feared that the en-.
forcement of the law would drive the
immigration business to Philadelphia,
Baltimore and other competing ports.
