Simple Treatment for the Fungi That
Does Most Injury to the Strawberry
Plant, and thu One which Causes straw.
berry Leaf Blight.
The fungi that does most injury to the
strawberry plant is the one which causes
the disease variously known as straw
berry leaf blight, sunburn and strawberry
rust. The injury to strawberry culture
resulting from this disease has been on
the increase for several years to the gen
eral alarm Of the growers of this fruit.
Hence the report Of the vegetable pathol-
ogist on strawberry leaf blight to the de
partment of agriculture at Washington
is one Of very general interest. Follow
ing are extracts from the same. presented
for the benefit of our readers:
Very small. deep purple or red spots
appearing on the upper surface of the
leaves are the first symptoms Of this dis
ease. These spots increase rapidly in size
and change color from purple to reddish
brown. Eventually they become gray in
the center. The leaves badly affected
soon turn brown, become shrivelled and
finally die. Similar spots appear on the
calyx and on the stems Of the berries.
The attacks may occur any time during
the growing season under proper weather
conditions Those coming early, If So
we're, injure the immediate crop, while
later attacks may destroy entirely the
prospects Of crop the year following.
It is the opinion of some that the heavier
the crop the more likely are the plants to
be attacked by blight after the fruit is
gathered. The death Of the plants before
the close of the season sometimes results
from these late attacks
Heat and moisture favor the develop
ment of this blight. Other things being
equal, plants, however vigorous and well
cared for, are no less subject to blight
than are those In feeble condition. The
disease is most severe when the land is
heavy or wet and undrained.
The treatment must be preventive. By
annually renewing tho settings, and
planting only in deep, thoroughly drained
soil, loss from blight will seldom occur.
Some have escaped the ravages Of the dis
ease by removing all the old leaves imme-
diately after the fruit is harvested, and
cultivating the ground, and at tho same
time adding some quick fertilizer. The
easiest way to remove the leaves Is to
NOW the beds, rake the leaves together
and burn them. A simpler line of treat
ment is the application to the plants Of
some fungicide, which will destroy or pre-
vent the termination of the conidia fall
ing upon the leaves. 1t is advised to pre-
pare solution Of hyposulphite of soda by
dissolving one pound of the hyposulphite
in ten gallons Of water. Apply with
convenient force pump, having spray
nozzle of fine aperture. The action OF
this remedy is said to be immediate, hence
it is necessary to apply 1t frequently dur
Ing the season.

A horse that is naturally cour-
ageous may be made cowardly by
abuse. II he often receives blows
the fear Of them is uppermost; and
any unknown noise is imagined to
be a coming hurt, to escape from
which is an uncomfortable impulse.
The man who abuses his horses
is often rewarded by the destruc-
ton of his property and injury to
himself, the result of runaways.
But when the courage of the colt
is developed, it is not nearly SO
likely to run away, though it be
hampered with blinds or abuse by
cruel master; and it is hardly say
ing too. much to assert that if it is
properly treated it will never run
away. Too often the training of
the colt has an effect contrary to
the cultivation of its courage. For
getting that temper is the most val
liable quality of the horse, its owner
tries to "break" its temper-to
COW the animal. The horse should
be trained, not broken; and training
requires irmness, mixed with much
kindness. The man who has no
control over his own temper and
whose judgements wrapped by an
ger is not fit TO train colt. AS abuse
will make it cowardly, so kindness
will make it courageous, The
basis of courage is confidence, and
the first point is to secure the con-
hndence of the colt. The next is
to make the colt sure Of has sur
roundings. Watch closely and
whenever he shows fear of any
thing, allow him to smell of it.
If he has confidence in his trainer
this will not be difficult. If he
SHES at stump or rock, ride or
drive him up to it. Drive him
nearer and nearer the cars until he
is no longer afraid of them. Have
the whsle sounded when his head
is turned toward it, and repeat this
till he ceases to start at the sound.
Handle his limbs and touch them
with strap until he no longer
shrinks.
The courageous horse, the one
with spirit trained, not broken, is
the horse that does the most work.
Itdoes not lag; to drive til plesure.
1t does not "give up" and leave
you mired in mudhole; it has the
spirit, to exert itselfto the utmost.
Among horses, it is the one with
trained spirit, with fine temper,
that does the most work, the least
harm, and in danger acts quickly
and intelligently. What horse has
more courage than the Arabian,
and what horse is more docile, en-
during, or admirable?-Ame,zean Ag.

Tho Squash Bug.

The common squash bug does not con.
sumo the surface of the leaf, but forces
its tubular mouth down through the cpl.
dermis, and draws it's food from the In
side Of the leaf, and is not affected by
poisons on the surface, say some of our
scientists. 1t is necessary. therefore, to
use some substance which will affect it
otherwise than through the digestive sys-
TEN. and for this purpose pyrcthrum or
buhach has been found excellent.
Whichever of these is used, it may be ap-
piled as powder, and busted on by means
OF bellows prepared for that purpose, or
Ill solution in water which Is most
economical and efficient. The bulk of the
powder is dissolved in the water, to which
IT at once imparts its insecticide principle
No stirring is necessary, but it should be
applied in very fine spray, the finer the
more economical is its use and the greater
the chances of its reaching all the insects.
1t must be used when first mixed, for If
allowed to stand it gradually loses its
power.

A writer in American Garden makes
this statement about grated roses and
those on their own roots
Few professionals really agree on the
question as to the advantages of grated
roses and those on their own roots. OF
course there are many, especially among
teas, which must be grated to force well.
The finest flowers Of William Francis
Bennett | have seen were from plants
grated on some strong grower, such as
the Mermets. But according to our ex-
periencc, worked hybrid remontants never
stand the winter outside as well as those
on their own roots; they are very apt to
be winter killed. When rapid growth is
required for inside use, the worked plants
certainly havo the advantage. But it is
on unnatural condition, and really there
seems no reason for it in most cases.

Tho Jessie and Yale Strawberries.

The Jessie strawberry is very favorably
reported upon from many localities,
though here and there appears an account
of its having failed to come up to expec-
tations. Professor Green believes 1t will
become a standard variety. Secretary Z.
Williams, of the New Jersey Horticultural
society, considers it promising berry,
and this opinion is entertained by Mr..
Halo, of Connecticut; Mr.. Lovett, Of New
Jersey; Mr.. Kellogg, of Wisconsin, and
other progressive growers of small fruit.
On The Rural New Workers. grounds,
while the Jessie did fairly well there, it
has not shown itself to be at all remark
able. Mr.. Kellogg, who has had it on
trial four years, says: "Of new varieties
| know of nothing so near perfect in
every respect as the Jessie" OF the pis-
tillate new varieties, by the way, this
grower thinks, no one will be disappoint-

Second Cropa

A second crop of potatoes may be
raised after digging tho early first crop.
This is perfectly feasible and is becoming
quito common In states as far south as
Missouri and Kentucky. where they are
raised for seed the next year and for
southern planting arc more highly es.
teemed than northern grown seed. The
small potatoes are selected and exposed
to the air, but not in tho sun, until they
become dry and green in color. when they
are started to sprouting, and as soon as
signs of termination appear they may be
planted. When dug late in the fall they
will keep over for seed the next season
far better than first crop. fully matured
potatoes.
