MARKETING PEARS. Pears, whether
early or late, should never remain on
the tree until they become mellow
Whenever they have made their growth
they should be gathered 1t is easy to
tell the proper condition by observing
the ease with which the stem parts
from the tree. If on taking hold of a
pear and lifting it, the stem readily
breaks away from the spur to which
it is attached, the fruit has received all
the nOurishment it can get from the
tree, and the sooner it is gathered the
better. Pears are sent to market in
crates and in half-barrels especially
fine specimens are sent in shallow
boxes, only deep enough for single
layer of fruit, and each pear is wrapped
in thin white paper. Extra specimens
of any of the standard kinds, will bring
enough more to pay for this extra care
in packing The early varities mature
quicker after gathering than the latter
kinds, but all should reach the market
in firm and hard condition As with
all other fruit, it will pay to carefully
assert pears. Make three lots, firsts
and seconds for markets, and the third
for keeping at home-fOr the pigs if
need be, there is positively no sale for
poor pears.-Americdn AgricuItVrist for

A HINT ABOUT WEEDs.-In harvest
ing Indian Corn and Wheat, we cut
them long before the grain-the seed
is ripe. When the grain in either is
fully formed, the stalks are cut; eX-
perience has shown that the ripening
process goes on; the stalks contain
sufficient nutriment to perfect the
grains, and it does this after the plant
is cut away from the root. Indeed, the
grain thus treated. often comes to
greater perfection, than if the plant
were left until the seed is fully ripe.
What takes place with these crop
plants, also occurs with weeds. Many
weeds, if cut up while in flower, still
have nutriment enough i'm their stems
| and leaves To perfect and ripen a crop
of seeds. 1t therefore happens that,
the mere cutting up of many weeds,
and leaving them to dry upon the
ground, does little towards their exter-
minatiOn. The common Purslane-or
Pussley," for example, has remarka-
BILE vitality, its very succulent stems
will remain alive for weeks, and even
continue to grow alter they have been
deprived of the root. 1t is one thing
to cut up weeds with the hoe; it is
equally important, and it should always
be done in gardens, to gather up the
weeds by the use of a rake, and carry
them to a brush heap, where they will

TOOK OF DRY GOODS
KEEP THE Poor FRrr1T AT Hon,

KEEP THE Poor FRUIT AT HOME
In our frequent walks among the
dealers, we often wish that we could
have the company of those who send
fruit to market. Here are several
barrels of apples, waiting for the cart
to take them to the dump-Why?
Merely because the sender sent too
much. His Early Harvest" "Pri-
mate," or Alexander" trees bore
well; he shook off the fruit, gathered
it up good and bad, bruised and sound,
into barrels, and sent it to market. 1t
had no sale; decay set in, and the COM
mission man can only get rid of it at
the dump, and has II bill against the
sender for express. Had one-third of
this fruit been kept at home and fed to
the pigs, or ground to make cider for
vinegar, the better twO-thirds would
have had ready sale. Many no
doubt think that we harp needlessly,
every year upon this matter of assOrt-
ing fruit. The caution is not needless,
and we shall continue to repeat it,
until we see better state of things in
the market. A peck of poor fruit will
spoil the sale of a barrel. The price is
not fixed by the many good specimens
but the few poor ones bring the whole
lot down to their level Every one
who sends fruit or other produce to
market, should know that il is sold by
its appearance.-Americdn AgricuItUr-

DOGS DYING FROM CONSUMPTION
A prominent citizen of Genesee has
been prOlonging his own life at the
expense of the canine creation. Some
two or three years ago the gentleman
in question, who was pronounced by
physicians to be in an advanced stage
of consumption, began the habit of
taking his pet dog to bed with him.
The dog soon exhibited unmistakable
signs of lung difficulty, coughed almost
constantly and finally died. The gen.
tleman procured another dog, and
slept with it for a time, when this
animal also fell victim to the disease.
Another dog was procured, with which
the man now sleeps, and though the
third animal will probably die the same
way as the others did, the man is i'm
proving and is better than before in
years. The Hornellsville Tribune saws
that he is well known business man
of Genesee, and that it could give his
name if necessary -EImird Gazette.

The Grapevine in August.

Most of the active work in the vine
yard is over, still the vines will need
some care. The laterals may still need
pinching, and late shoots may push
where they are not wanted, and must
be broken off Most of the troublesome
insects of this season are large, and
readily noticed, so that the only reme-
dy, whether for the large grapevine
caterpillars, or the beetles, hand-pick-
ing can be applied. The chief troubles
of the grapegrOwers this month, are
the Leaf-hopper, incorrectly called
Thrips, and Mildew. The little insect,
which in some places rises in clouds as
one passes among the vines, and ap-
pears of a general dingy-white color as
it flies, is, when caught and examined,
found to be handsomely marked with
scarlet. 1t remains attached to the
leaves, sucking the juices, in its early
life, and it is only when it gets wings,
that its presence is usually noticed.
The only remedy that has been sug-
gested for this Leaf-hopper in its wing
ed state, is to carry lighted torches
among the vines at night. Mildew ap-
pears in the hot dry days. Pale spots
are seen on the leaves, and if the under
side of these be examined, there will
be found the gray patches of the minute
fungus, which causes the trouble. Sui
phur is the remedy. This, upon the
first appearance of the Mildew, should
be freely any thoroughly busted upon
the foliage of the vines. Bellows fol
the purpose are sold at the seed and
implement stores. The bellows are
like an old-fashiOned kitchen bellows
and have a wide tube about an inch
across. The valve hole is stopped by
a cork, and a quantity of Flower o.
Sulphur being placed in the body o.
the bellows, through this opening, it is
blown, when the bellows is worked
like fine cloud of dust, which settle:
on the foliage, and soon puts an end t.
the Mildew. The dusting should b,
done on hot still day, and two, or a
most three applications, will save thu
foliage, which otherwise would sOor
become useless. s.-AmericaR Agricultur

Saving Vegetable Seed.

DIR. Geo. Thurber gives, in the
american AgricUltUrist for August, the
following valuable facts concerning the
mixing. of plants and its effect upon
seeds:
If there are many varieties of the
same vegetable in a garden, it is i'm
possible to save the seeds of some in an
unmixed state. Sweet Corn, and all
of the Squash family, are quite sure to
"mix." On the other hand, Peas and
Beans rarely cross. If one saves seeds
of any vegetable, let it be of the best.
Instead of leaving the last Peas on the
vines for seed, set apart portion of q
row for seed, and let none be picked
from it. BY proper care, the quality
of vegetable may be improved. In
saving Lima Beans, we have for several
years selected only those with four
beans in the pod; as a consequence,
the greater number of pods in the
whole crop now have four beans. The
selection of the first ripened and best
formed Tomatoes for seed will have a
marked effect upon future crops, and
this is the case with all other vegeta-
bles. If one has a choice Melon he
would preserve in its purity, the surest
method is to fertilize = few female flow
ers. Take male flower of the same
kind that is shedding its pollen, remove
the corolla, to expose the stamens
Select a female flower that is just ready
to open, but has not been visited by
insects; open it, and apply the stamens
to the pistil of that flower. Cover the
flowers thus operated upon by a bit Of
muslin until the fruit begins to grow

THE SPRECkLES ROE.

The San Francisco Chronicle
has for months been max ing Il
nible fight against the Claus
Spreckles sugar monopoly. The
railroad papers of California have
all the time been proving that
the fight of the Chronicles was all
wrong. Itseems now, however,
that it has been shown by Con-
sress that, while Claus Spreckles
through the reciprocity treaty
has made two and half cents
per pound over Eastern i'm
porters, he at the same time has
a combination with the Central
Pacific which enables him to eN-
tract two and a half cents per
pound for sugar from the people
Of California, more than Eastern
importers charge in the East for
their sugar. That explains the
whole business. The railroad,
which was Intended for such
boon to California, is simply con-
verified into q shield for the
members of two or three corpor-
atiOns to rob behind. The
treaty should be revoked. The
purpose for which it was intend
eel has been completely neutral
lied by the avarice of few
merciless men and in addition,
Of the California cormorants,
made possible by the treaty, an
assessment of some millions in !
addition is levied annually upon !
the poor of California. That |
there is not such a restraint as
would make such robbery in
the future impossible, shows
completely in the tolls the peo-
pie are. If Congress had a
spark of justice left it would,
says the Eureka Leader, pass a
law making discrimination on
the part of any railroad COM
pany, for or against any person
or locality, penitentiary Of
Tense, The people are in the
spirit to enforce such a law, and
Congress should provide it.

NO END TG 1T.

It certainly locks discoura g'ng
to those who expect to see an
end OF bank defaIcations. There
is not half the danger to banks
from the outside that is ascer-
taiLed to be on the inside. 1t
seems very much az if going
into Il bank at all was simply
going into training for dishsn-
est practices. This handling
and dealing in other peoples
money is growing worse for
both sides. The Pacific bank is
the last experience in Boston in
that line, following close after
the Newark financial viilainy;
new we have another case in
Rochester, \, Y, and in Chi
cago is contemporary event of
the same sort, though OF rather
less dimensions. OF couse this
Rochester defaIcator was man
Of practical piety, and conspicu-
Gus for it, also; he WAS the treas
urer Of the Protestant Episcopal
diocese of western New York,
which like the City bank Of
Rochester, is loser. At this
rate, we shall have to build

officials, just as we are multiply
