REMEDY FOR PEAR BLIGHT Il motto

REMEDY FOR PEAR BLIGHT notice
an inquiry concerning pear blight, and
will say l have discovered sure cure
and will give it to you so the public
may be benefited. Imight l say l found
the cause by accident. The tree be-
comes hide-bound and the hot sun kills
them, especially the pear.
All you have to do is to take sharp
pointed knife, gee on the Northeast
side of the tree and slit the principal
limbs down to the trunk ; run all the
cuts in one open the main trunk to
the ground. Be careful not to cut
around the stem. In the first stage OF
blight the tree becomes damp near the
ground the next the leaves become
speckled, at the third stage the ends
of the limbs die. Then to cure or save
it, cut one inch below the dead part
and open as have described. have
opened all my fruit trees this spring,
knowing prevention is better than cure.
If you publish this, give my address in
full, as parties may want more infor-
nation on the subject. Yet what
have given you is all that is required.
I have several trees that had it which
are now in full boom.

THE GENERAL PURPOSE FARMER.

With diversified farming, which in
cludes the growing of d variety ofcrops
and feeding out to variety Of stock, a
good rotation can be planted and fol-
lowed out, and in this way the fertility
of the soil be better maintained. Tnen
feed can he produced for all kinds of
stock and fertilizer adapted to all
kinds of crops without waste.
The farm ought to produce the great
er part of the food necessary to grow
and fatten the stock and to make the
manure to keep up the fertility. There
may be conditions when it will be
profitable to buy bran, middlings and
oil meal to feed out with the roughness
or with the grain on the farm, and in
some cases to purchase commercial
fertilizers in order to increase the yield
of the crops, but the main dependence
for the feed for the stock and for the
soil should be produced on the farm.
The adaptation of the soil for the va
rious kinds of crops should always be
considered in determining what crops to
grow, and the kind of crops grown must
largely determine the kind ofstock that
can be kept to the best advantage. Di-
versified farming admits of better
opportunity of distributing the labor
evenly throughout the year, lessons the
risk of loss by failure of any one crop,
or loss by disease or fall in the market
of any kind ofstock. 1t affords better
opportunity of feeding out the farm
products TO good advantage, and OF
lessening the cost of feeding and fat
tening the stock for market by making
up complete rations.
The farmer who keeps a few cows
and has few pounds of butter to sell
every week, a few good calves growing
into steers for beef, few fowls to lay
eggs to sell weekly, few sheep with
wool, lambs and muttons to market in
season, one or more good colts growing
to maturity to sell later on, few pigs
growing to fatten and sell, has less need
to worry about where his living is to
come from than the average man in
other pursuits, or even the farmer who
is making a speciality of some one or
more things.-The Republic.

WRITES OF GOOSE GREASE.

DR.. Symes has called attention to
the merits of this ancient and honorable
household remedy in the columns ofthe
Dublin Journal of Medical Science. We
quote the following:
"a gentleman was suffering with
influenza of a chronic type. He was
never i'll enough to stay in bed, and
scarcely we'll enough to be out. He had
dry, hacking cough for many days,
and very little secretion was expelled
from his lungs, in which was lodged a
small quantity ofviscld exudation. With
the aid of suitable internal remedies,
he gained ground very slowly. A lini-
ment of camphor and ammonia was
prescribed, but it did not help him very
much. Goose grease was added, and
at once its effect became apparent. In
day or two, feeling much better, he
ommitted the use Of the oil, and he
became worse but after repeating the
applications great benefit followed. A
second and third time he ommitted the
grease, and the cough and the distress
returned, but they were rapidly re-
moved after another application of the
oil. The patient is convinced Of its
efficacy, and attributes his recovery
mainly to its specific action on his chest.

DR.. Symes, "there is no doubt. He
has seen it remove muscular rheuma-

4 SURPLUS OF SINNERS.

After a sermon on "Moses in the

Rochester, N. Y, the pastor leaned
over the pulpit and said:
"De meetin' am now open for pray

Decon Peter Henry De Freest arose
cleared his throat, and pulled out the
wrinkles in his vest.
"Set down Brudder De Freest,

How TO SwEEp.-For sweeping q
room neatly there is nothing like news
paper aid. Take page ofnewspaper,
or other paper at time, wet in hot
water and squeeze it until it ceases to
drip. Tear into pieces the size of ones

Then sweep, and most of the dust in
the room, if you use the broom judi,

broom to take up fluff, if any, before
beginning the regular sweeping.

counting his steps. When he had re-

"Do you mean to tell me, colonel

"Oh no, MOI" he quickly replied
