When the case came on and Solus

This is the season, especially after
the very hot weather We have lately
had, followed by rains, when blight is
most likely to attack pear trees. 1t
appears to be disease which espe-
cially attacks trees heavily manured
and which have an excess of sap. II
the tree has been manured in the
spring with stable manure, and has
since been cultivated, it will almost
certainly blight. Manuring with pure
ly mineral fertilizers, without nitro
gen, is, we know from experience, a
help to prevent trees from blighting.
The pear tree to be kept productive
and healthy should not make a large
yearly wood growth. Six to twelve
inches yearly growth Of wood, with a
proportionate number of new fruit
buds, will give the tree longer life and
q greater amount of fruit than will
any attempt to force fruit production.
Over-bearing is a fruitful cause of
blight 1t comes just at the time
when the pear seeds are forming, and
when this imperative demand for more
potash robs the sap Of that mineral
which is SO necessary to keep wood
and foliage in healthful condition.
Yet pear trees ON grassbound land are
in the condition next most likely to
be blighted. In their case probably
] the potash in the soil is inert and the
pear tree roots cannot get it.--Atlanta

Much Of the baled hay that comes to
market is musty. Most farmers when
they bale hay think it need not be
very dry, as the bales are small. But
the amount of hay packed in them is
always sufficient to get up n violent
ferment unless the hay is properly
dried before it is put into the bale. If
there were more care used in baling
hay the price for it would be much
better than it is, as the hay itself
would be better worth 1t.
