DLIenT IN PEARS.

Tho disease which affects pear trees by
oiackening tho limbs is known as fire
blight. It also affects ounces and ap.
pics. 1t is quite probable that the pres
ence Of ounces in pear orchard is not
desirable, as these trees may infect the
pear trees, but pears are attacked and
destroyed when there arc no ounces
near. The first appearance of tho dis
ease in tree is shown by tho profuse-
ness OF bloom, an expiring effort of na-
ture, no doubt, to resist the fatai ut
tack. Then tho leaves fado early aud
drop of, and tho small twigs arc seen to
be blacs and dead in places. The best
thing to do is to cut back tho tree to
the main limbs, leaving only head,
which will sometimes save it and mako a
now healthy growth. To prevent it
liberal dressings of fresh wood ashes or
air-slaked lime should be given, aud a
pailful of water, in which four ounces
of sulphatc of copper nre dissolved,
should be sprayed over each tree. AS
this is washed off the limbs or falls TO
the ground it reaches the roots and On.

In addressing the Vermont Dairymcn's
Association, Professor Cooke gave tho
following practical suggestions:
"The best butter is that which best
suits tho taste of tho person for whom it
is made. The keeping quality is no longer
considered essential. The consumers
want to be as near tho churn as possible.
They no longer want high favored ar
ticle, but most persons Of refined tasto
like it nearly like sweet cream In taste.
Agents urge the merits OF their various
systems of butter making. BY following
out tho season it will probably be seen
that every one has taken first prize,
perhaps several Every ono has also
made abominablc butter. Tho man, the
COW, and the feed have moro influence
than tho system. Dairymen arc wisely
changing their herds so that they may
engage in winter dairying and so como
upto the times. The methods OF to-day are
very different from those of twenty-five
years ago. Less labor is required, while
the quality smuch better. A man whose
taste for good butter is educated is will
ing to pay for it, but will demand three
things. A clean COW giving healthy
milk, good feed, and cleanliness in every
stage of the process. Asregards onsilagc-
fed butter, no expert can tell this in tho
world If properly done, unless tho odor
is absorbed by the milk afterit is drawn.
When this is fed the stables must be well
ventilated and free from the odor. Tho
cream should be churned us soon MS tn,
.aeid appears so as to get that creamy
tnste.. II the winter the cream wil
churn better if thinnea> with warn

MISTAKES IN PRUNING.

a common error in pruning, says Pro-
lessor ID. +. Lantz in the Zndustrial;st.
is tho idea that a branch which is to be
removed should be cut one or two inches
from the trunk, leaving stub. An ex-
animation of these stubs two or three
years later reveal dead place extend
ing deeply into tho wood and doing
permanent injury to the tree. On tho
other hand, considerable branch may
be removed from thrifty tree IL cut
close up to the trunk, and the scar will
grow over in single season. After n
tree is once startedin a permanent place
it ought mott to be severely pruned. Dur
ing the first season of growth there is
often q tendency to put OF new shoots
along the trunk. These must be removed.
but they can be easily rubbed off when
they first appear. # left there is a
tendency OF the part above these shoots
to die. AT least they lack vigor and
make but little growth. 4 common mis-
take in pruning is to cut the tops out of
large trees. The finest trees arc those
that grow in the natural form. Any Mt
tempt to mako dwarf of tree is unnat-
ural and shows want of taste, horticultu-
rally speaking. Eycrgreens especially
should not have the tops removed unless
they are grown in q hedge. The natural
shape of tree is not seen In n crowded
forest, but its shape when growing freely
IN an isolated position.
In oil correct pruning the first prin-
eiple Is based upon tho fact that sap al

Artificial Rainfall.

Colonel D. T. Casper, who has been
connected with the Signal Service since
its foundation, carly in the seventies.
told New York Star representative
some curious facts about the service.
"a curious little clause was tackled to
the Appropriation BILL" began the
Colonel, "whiio it was before the Senate,
and went through the Legislative mill in
nocently enough and is now a law. It
provides that, under the direction of the
Forestry Division of the Department of
Agriculture, $4,000 shall be expended on
experiments in the artificial production
of rainfall. There are those who are dis
posed to make merry over this provision
of the Appropriation bill, but really
there is nothing 80 very absurd about it.
No doubt there is plenty of moisture at
oil times, if1only it could be gathered in
the right place and be made to fall upon
the earth. Man has accomplished as
difficult things as that in the realm of ap-
piled science. Then why not that7 1t
is not contemplated. however, to produce
rainfall by the slow growth of forests in
the arid regions. The success of that
method is still disputed. Under the
new law it is proposed to find out
whether rainfall cannot be produced by
electricity, dynamite explosions or other
mechanical agencies. Taking the cue
from the fact that heavy cannonading on
a battlefield or Fourth Of July celebra-
tionis followed by copious rains, the ex-
perimentcrs will work accordingly. The
process OF burning powder to produce
rain has hitherto been too expensive to
warrant its general use, but possibly
cheaper explosives will be found. 1t has
been proposed, among other things, to
attach twenty-five pounds of dynamite to
toy balloon and then send flock of
such balloons into the air, with lighted
fuses attached. AT any rate, concluded
the Colonel, Zone way or another, the
arid lands of this country are bound to
be brought under splendid cultivation
sooner or later. They comprise some of
the most fertile soil on earth"

Mr.. Ackom, living in Van Vert Coun-

MIR. Ackom is breeder of thorough
bred Poland China hogs. In litter of
pigs, farrowed recently, was one which
very nearly resemblcd an elephant. It
had enormous cars, a long trunk and one
tusk. 1t was the color of an elephant
and its feet turned up in q peculiar way.
The trunk started from the forehead and
extended out and down over the mouth.
1t is one of those peculiar freaks which
occasionally occur in the animal world.

Little Jefr Davis Hayes Indignant.

When the presidential party reached
Colorado Springs, Colo, the citizens
were prepared to give him a royal well
come. This being the home Of Mrs.
Margaret Davis Hayes. the daughter OF
jefferson Davis, the citizens of that
city, long before the arrival of the
president, had imbued her little six
year-old son JEFF with the idea that he
was a president in embryo.
Like other ladies of the town, Mrs
Hayes put on her children their best
apparel and sent them out to see the
president JEFF, whom the enterpris-
ing citizens of that little city had given
a conspicuous place in the reception OF
president, was recognized and saluted
by Mrs. Mckee, Mr.. Wanamaker, and
other members of the distinguished
party, but received no mark of recog-
milton from the president. At this neg
lect upon the part of the nations ex-
ecutive he was highly incensed, and on
returning home he expressed his indlg-
nation to his mother. Gesticulating
with his hands, he said:
