THE ROT OF FRUITS.
A Subject in which Every aortieuIturiss
IL Interested.

H AntDre9te0s
Before the Western Iowa Horti-
cultural society, Prof. L. H. Pammel.
of Iowa Agricultural college, said:
The subject Of fruit rots is of interest
TO the horticulturists, as serious losses
occur every year from it The fungi
concerned are either parasitic or sapro-
phytic. One of the most serious is
brown rot, caused by a parasitic fun
gus known as Manila fructigena, Pers.,
and attacks a variety Of fruit trees.
In Iowa the plum, apple ard cherry
are affected. The loss caused by this
fungus IS very large in all parts of the
United States, especially in the peach
growing districts. So severe is it on
some late varieties of the peach that a
large percentage is affected Every
season certain kinds of our cultivated
forms Of the native plums are injured.
We have seen it on the Cheney, Chip
pewa, De Soto, Wolf etc. The writer
observed many cherries rotting on
trees in Dubuque in 1891 Usually this
fungus does not make its appearance
until the time Of maturing of the fruit
approaches. but when the conditions
are favorable such as warmth and
moisture it grows on the flowers. leaves
and stems We had such an abundance
of this fungus last spring at Ames that

Galen Wilson tells in Home and

twenty-five lambs on straw. He fed
this literally in hunks, always giving
them more than they would eat up
clean In addition he gave the ewes
two cents worth of barley each q
week, when the grain was worth so
cents bushel, and kept an accurate
account, The lambs had only &C nt's
worth Of barley. These focks came
through the winter in excellent eondi-
ton. and the ewes dropped and raised

were affected, in some cases totally de-
stroyed. Plums which set fruit as the
Cheney, continued to be affected dur
ing June, July and August. During
May my attention was called to a tree
in which the flowers were blighted.
Closer inspection showed that this
blight began in proximity to the mum
mied plums of last year. 1t very soon
affected all of the flowers on the tree.
The mycelium or vegetative part of
the fungus permeates the affected por-
tions of the plant, either growing be-
tween the cell walls, in the inter-
cellular spaces or penetrating the cells
themselves. In certain places the my
celium collects in masses which break
through the epidermis giving rise to
the grayish white tufts so familiar to
many of you. The threads (hyph@)
bear one-celled oval spores which
terminate readily in water and moist
air, but copper salt in a weak solution
prevents this process. IL is sometimes
stated that the germ tubes of this fun
gus cannot penetra tie the unbrokeu
epidermis of the peach and apple.
From observations extending over sew
eral years l am convinced the germ
tubes can do so. Insects and injuries
no doubt often give the fungus bet
ter chance to get in its work.
Preventives: Two measures suggest
themselves: a, orchard hygiene; b, use
of fungicides. 1t is well established
fact that the spores of this fungus re-
tain their vitality for some time, and
that they are readily carried over
from season to season by means of
mummied plums, peaches and ap-
pies left on or under the trees.
The case referred to above, where the
disease started from the plums on
the tree, is good evidence. DIR. Erwin
T. Smith also cites a similar case
where a peach orchard in Delaware
suddenly showed the fungus. He says:
''Of hundreds of blighted stems exam
ined in 1887, l saw none which were
not associated with rotted peaches. :"
Another important point to consider is
this fungus can be easily carried from
plum to peach, pear and apples or from
any one of these hosts to the plum, the
fungus of all of them being identical.
The old plums, apples, etc, should be
removed. Injuries to stored fruit avoid
ed, as these are especially liable to the
attacks of this fungus. Large losses
are incurred by shipping perishable
fruit, like the peach, during warm and
moist weather. 1t is more difficult to
treat this fungus with fungicides than
bitter rot or apple scab. 1t may be
best to use ammoniacal carbonate of
copper prepared as follows: To 8
ounces OF copper carbonate add a small
amount of water; then one quart of
ammonia This is diluted with -
gallons of water. 1t is easily applied
with any of the knapsack sprayers
now in the market. For two seasons
we have used the knapsack sprayer
withgood results This sprayer is not
patented, and is thus cheap.

IN SATIN AND VELVET.

Though satin has been the reignng fabric
through many months no new favorite has
yet come forward to usurp its place. But,
perhaps, its enduring popularity is because
of its varied and parti-colored shimmers and
its opalescent glimmers.
There are satins blocked with gay checks,
satins covered with flowers in their natural
color, satins brocaded, satins striped with
bright silk ribbons, and. lovelicst of them all,
satins deep green, red, brown and purple on
one selvage shading through intermediate tints
to their most delicate tones on the other.
These latter fabrics make bewildering gowns
which suggest the fancy OF rainbows cut into
suitable lengths and falling to the ground with
very refractive flares.
Yet, after all. these bits Of heavenly splendor
become trihe tiresome, and the recherche
dressers HE them into plain rich gowns of
some pale color whose one dazzling effect is
sleeves or bertha.
For such gowns white, green or clear sap
phire blues are much worn, white perhaps
coming first in favor.

Lumber Not Damaged by Bleeding.

In a circular Of the forestry division of the
Department of Agriculture, issued about
year ago, it was stated that tests made on
timbers Of longleaf pine, bled or unbled, lent
countenance to the belief that bled or tapped
timber did not suffer in strength by virtue of
the tapping. In q new circular Just issued 1t is
said that further tests and examinations per-
nit now the announcement without reserve
that the timber Of longleaf pine is in no way
affected by the tapping for turpentine. This
refers to its mechanical as well as chemical
properties, and hence even the reservation that
1t might suffer In durability is now eliminated
and any prejudice against the use of bled
timber In construction wherever the unbled
timber has been considered desirable must fall
as having no foundation in fact. being based
only on vague belief proved to be erroneous.
1t is to be hoped that this fact will be mado
widely known among builders, architects and
engineers who have hitherto made discrimina-
ton against bled timber and thereby depre-
ciated or discouraged the manufacture and i'm
peded the sale Of an article which answers all
the purposes of construction and the unre-
stricted use Of which IL dictated by true
economy.
The somewhat puzzling fact that bled timber
exhibited, IL anything, greater strength in the
tests has been accounted for by the fact that
the turpentine orchards are located mostly on
sites which produce better quality timber ~
well a. larger yield Of turpentine.
