The following spring it causes swell
ing in the affected parts, and in a
month or two the swelling becomes
much enlarged and the bark broken.
Over the injured surface of the bark
the parasite spreads in the form of nu-
merous threads-that later give rise to
spores-which impart to the whole
bunch a green, velvety appearance
Fig. 2.
The spores, each supported on a
stalk, soon developed on the bunch
Zig. 8, represents few of them great
ly magnifed), where they ripen and
are blown by the wind in every direc-
ton.
In the fall black crust forms over
the knot, containing numerous bunch
es-Fig leach of which contains
numerous spores developed in several
oval bodies called spore sacs. Fig. 5
shows sac with spores greatly mag
niied. In the latter part of the win
ter the spores escape from the sacs and
pass into the open air to help carry on
their work of destruction. These,
like the summer spores, lodge on the
bark of healthy trees and produce more
knots which go through similar stages
as described above.
The fungus, if not destroyed, will
often remain in tree for years, and
thus while sapping the very life of it's
host, is continually putting out myr-
lads of spores. The fungus not only
absorbs much of it's sap, but in turn it
often girdles the affected twigs or
limbs, thus destroying them entirely.
The black knot has been seemingly
checked by washes of turpentine, kero-
sene, sulphate of copper or tincture
of iodine, but experience has proved
that the safest way is to cut off the
affected parts and burn them. Where
the trunk of a valuable tree is affect
ed, it is sometimes cured by cutting
off the lunches and applying sulphate
of copper or tincture of iodine to the
exposed parts and then cover with a
thick coat of any oil paint.
All plum and cherry trees should be
carefully watched and the knots cut off
with the affected twigs several inches
below the point of affection. Bunches
Glliu may NC Ill UilC
should be carefully sought out and
burned when the leaves have fallen in
the fall, thus preventing the winter
output of spores.
Too many careless fruit-growers
have half realized the danger of per-
hitting the black knot to go un-
checked, and have cut off the affected
parts, throwing them on the ground,
in which case the fungus is left alive
to do an indefinite amount of damage.
The only safety lies in burning every
infested limb as soon as it appears.
This applies to the various species of
wild plums and cherries no less than
to the domesticated varieties.
Delay in attending to the black knot
is hazardous in the extreme. True, a
few years may pass with seemingly
slight advance in it's ravages, but it
may be like the calm that precedes a
pending storm, for, by virtue of it's
spasmodi nature, this fungus is likely
to burst forth at any time in a deadly
attack that ceases not to destroy I'M

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach

one way to cure Deafn ess, and that is bycon-

A WORD.

Once little girl l know
Said little word;
Whispered it so very low
Just one person heard.
And that person told it DER,
Just 10 one or two,
Adding to it one word more,
As so many DO!
And at once the two that heard
Told it in q crowd;
Each one adding one more word,
Told it quite aloud
Straightway every one that heard
Shouted loud and clear
Till the hapless little word
Floated far and near
Then the maiden raised her head,
She was very glad
That the little thing she said
Wasn't something badl

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

1t is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders.
The purest baking powder makes the finest sweet
est most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the lightest food.
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestible and wholesome
food
Why should not every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
prize, at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders can
be had by declining accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure.

United States is on Amencau'soil,
in the countries tothe south of us.
in many of which undoubted de-
velopment is taking place, in which
peace and political. stability are
reasonably assured, and with which
we are already on friendly terms.
Every shipment of goods in that
direction which he's been made in
telligently, land followed by intel
ligent effort, has served as an en-
tering wedge for the introduction
of North American products.
There is a growing demand in the
far south for such goods as our
people are prepared to manufac-
ture, while thei products Of that
quarter are largely of class which
are needed here, and which do not
compete with any of our home in
dustries.
As for methods in the export
trade, it may safely be taken for
granted that what is being done
successfully by one country can be
done by another, just as Ameri-
cans have demonstrated their abil-
ity to manufacture goods in any
class that has been produced
abroad. The manufacture of su-
perior goods is not enough. Even
low priced goods will not give the
key to the situation. The ques-
tion, when our competitors arc
found selling goods in any market
accessible to us, is "How is il
done?" If our manufacturers are
not ingenious enough to answer
the question for themselves they
may as well remain content with
their home trade; no one is going
TO force acknowledge upon them.
