Italian Prunes.

1t is evident that Italian prune trees
are subject to some disease which has
not yet been identified. Every year,
beginning usually in the latter part of
July or early in August, the leaves ON
many of the trees begin to curl or roll,
giving the impression that the trees
are suffering from extreme drought.
This curling may affect ono portion
of a tree while other portions of the
same tree remain vigorous. This curl
ing has been to large extent attrib-
uted to the dry weather coming in con.
junction with the development of a
crop of fruit, but this year the trees
have no fruit and the curling appears
to be as bad or worse than ever. 1t is
a matter which needs investigation.

The time is fast approaching when
our friends the prune growers, SO anx-
ious TO test the law of gravitation, will
rush at their trees and, with neither
sense nor reason, shake 80 cents from
them, while, had they one or two
weeks more patience 81 would drop
of its own accord. If not literally so
the point is at least worth considering.
All, almost all, will agree with me
and yet hardly one will practice it.
1t is an accepted axiom in prune Gull
ture that the fruit must be fully ripe
before it is cured. Shake the trees,
however gently, and you cannot pre-
vent the unripe prunes from falling.
The sheet arrangements, or any other
device for encouraging the shaking"
is curse to the industry. 1t is suici-
dial, this scrambling haste to get the
prunes dried in the cheapest way, and
the first to market. French treatises
have been translated and published
from time to time. urging upon this as
the most essential part in the business.
to let the prune hang ON the tree until
it is fully ripe, when it will DROP

Seems as if consumption always picks

sixth of all the deaths that occur in the
world are caused by consumption.
Many things were once considered im-
possible. It would be strange If medi-
cal science did not make some progress.
The telegraph and telephone, the
phonopraph, the electric light-all
were once impossible, and once it was
impossible to cure consumption. That
was before the time of DIR. Pierce's

cording to directions, this standard
remedy will cure SO per cent. of all
cases of consumption. Consumption
that is caused and fostered by i'm
purity in the blood. It is cured by
