FARM AND GARDEN.
DESTRUCTIVE FUNGUS.
Many Orchards Are Being Destroyed by
the Black Knot.

Many Orchards Are Being Destroyed by
the Black Knot.
The black knot is the worst enemy
with which plums and cherries have
to contend. In many sections, es-
pecially in the east, large sections of
the country have been given up to the
ravages of this pest, while in Michigan
many valuable orchards have been en-
tirely destroyed.
The time has come when most large
plum and cherry are posted
on this fungus and are seeking it's sup
preston with tireless energy. The
mass of small growers however, are
Indifferent or careless as far as the
black knot is concerned and watch it's
development on their trees with little
or no concern. Some of the states
have recognized the seriousness of this
pest and have enacted stringent laws
providing for its destruction. How
ever, some of the states as we'll as the
great mass of smaller fruit-growers in
many localities, treat this fungus with
criminal indifference.
The spores Gig, l shows a sprouted
spore greatly magnifed) from the
black knot are spread by the wind to
healthy trees where some of them
lodge and lose no time in entering the
tissue of the tree. When once estab-
lished in the bark the fungus grows
unnoticed the first year, spreading
through the green layers of the bark.

GARDENING For WOMEN.
A Successful Employment Recently De
VelOped In London.


veloped In London.
A practical and eminently success
fuI employment has been developed in
London for women in the shape of
gardening association. 1t is under
very fashionable patronage. Such
philanthropic people as the countess
of Malmesbury, Lady Hamilton and
Lady Lubbock are among its officers,
and it has well-organized bureau on
Lower Sloan street, and does business
all over London, There is no reason
why similar organizations should not
flourish in all large American towns.
The Gardening association contracts
for the care of Conservatives, window
boxes, balconies and gardens by the
year or season or month. Plants are
also loaned out on hire.
All orders are entirely executed by
women, man being employed for dig
ging, conveying soil, laying gravel,
training high outside climbers, and
the like. The association also under
takes the care of graves in the ceme-
teries of London. 1t supplies what
ever plants may be required When
necessary, it replants the graves twice
year. An excellent point in connec-
ton with this particular branch of the
work is that the prices are made as
reasonable as possible in order to
bring the benefit within the reach OF
persons in all circumstances.
Another department of the work con-
sists in taking temporary care of the
plants belonging to persons who are
leaving town. For this purpose the
association uses its own conserva
tories.
Cut flowers are also supplied to fami'
lies. Every variety of floral decora'
ton, bouquets, wreaths, crosses, etc,
are made up quite equal to any sim
liar work exhibited by first-class for
lists.

reau, ready to supply estimates and to

one way to cure Deafness, and that is bycon-

gets intlamed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and thistube

be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten

press the immersed end of the stem

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

The spores, each supported on a
stalk, soon developed on the bunch

are blown by the wind in every direc-
ton.
In the fall black crust forms over
the knot, containing numerous bunch

numerous spores developed in several
oval bodies called spore sacs. Fig. 8
shows a sac with spores greatly mag
nifed. In the latter part of the win
ter the spore9 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 a tree for years, and
thus while sapping the very life OF its
host, is continually putting out myr-
lads of spores, The fungus not only
absorbs much of its 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 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 of
with the affected twigs several inches
below the point of affection. Bunche'
that may be overlooked in the summel
should be carefully sought out ant
burned when the leaves have fallen il
the fall, thus preventing the winter
output of spores.
Too many careless fruit-grower
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 aliv,
to do an indefinite amount of damage
The only safety lies in burning ever,
infested limb as soon as it appears
This applies to the various species o
wild plums and cherries no less thai
to the domesticated varieties.
Delay in attending to the black l1no
is hazardous in the extreme. True,
few years may pass with seemingl
slight advance in its ravages, but
may be like the calm that precedes
pending storm, fol, by virtue of it
spasmodic nature, this fungus is likel
to burst forth at any time in deadl
attack that ceases not to destroy IN
