General Sherman is one of the most popular
men in Washington, Judging by the demand
for him at social entertainments. He rarely, if
ever dimes at home. As he goes out so regu-
larry he sometimes forgets where he is to go.
The other night he came out on his doorstep
in great hurry. He was in dinner dress, but
hesitated after he came out of the door. Mrs.
Sherman, who was in the hall, asked what was
the matter. My George" said the General
Il was to so to dinner somewhere to might, and

who was going quietly up the street, said !:

George, what splendid idea! l can't miss it

have noticed a suggestion to kill curculios on
plum and peach trees by burning sulphur under
them How Is this done? propose to make a
sulphur on 1t. Do you think this would answer
John r. Cowans, Illinois.
Ans Sulphur fumes are as destructive to
vegetable life as to animal life. You will kill
the trees before killing the insects. We are
astonished at any one publishing suggestion
OF this kind.
Is the Russian Mulberry a fruit tree or a forest
tree?-Jonas, Kansas.
A,as. Botanically all forest trees are fruit
trees. If your question IS directed to the value
of the fruit as an article of diet to be classed
with apples or cherries, we doubt whether we
would give the Chinese white mulberry place.
In this regard we would say that it was not a
fruit tree in a genealogical sense. The Euro
pean black mulberry is different thing alto
gcther, and yields fruits of much value Dis
tinctions Of this kind are merely relative, not
systematic.
In reply TO Enquirer" as to the values of the
Clinton grape for wine, we would state that for
the manufacture of claret the Clinton has no
superior among native grapes. 1t may have,
as suggested, "a great deal of acidity,'' but it
may also be noted that few of our best and
sweetest grapes contain go much sugar as the
ripe Clinton.

Can 1t be Tor want of feTtilizing bloom or is it dis
ease? Please give the cause and cure, if there is
q cure, and greatly oblige, Constant Reader,
Washington, d. G.
Ans. Without seeing the condition of the
fruit when it falls Off it is not possible to tell
the cause. 1t is probably a male plant; if it is
Seeding which has sprung up, this is likely
to be the reason. If it ever has borne a crop,
then its behavior now is owing to some cause
which can only be determined after investiga-
ton of the fruit
