CURE FOR BLACK KNOT.
A New Method Which Has Proved
Successful Wherever 1t Has
Been Given u Trial.

The black knot is producing great
disaster among plum trees and prom
ises to destroy some of the most valua-
BILE kinds.
William Mendenhall, in the Horticul.
tural Visitor, says thus far no remedy
seems to be suggested by fruit growers
except to cut down and destroy the
trees which are attacked, but we find
on visiting the orchard of Mr.. Joseph
A. Pagan, of West Richmond, and talk
ing with him that he has discovered
method which he regards as positive
cure of the pest. 1t originated with
him, and he freely gives it to the pub
lie for the general good. Being very
simple, it can be readily tried by any
one. AS soon as black knot appears,
which is shown by the swelling on the
trunk or limb of the tree, he cuts with
knife an incision along the line of it
and saturates with chloro naptho-
leum, disinfecting fluid, small can
of which can be had at any drug store.
Another application should be had in
the fall. We saw several trees on
which this was done, and in every case
the black knot was destroyed and the
tree saved. In one case the black knot
had been several feet long and it was
entirely removed and new growth es-
tablished. Several kinds OF trees, in
GLIDING the Damson, were operated
on, and the trial was always success.
Mr.. Pagan has successfully used this
process for the past three seasons.

PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.
How to Build n Plank Road That Will
Wear Well and Always Has
Good Surface.

There seems to be an increasing de-
mand by the general public for road
way improvement, and it is hoped that
practical plans will be adopted with
satisfactory results. The macadam
and crushed stone has been tried to
some extent. 1t has proved quite a
success, but it is an open question
whether it will be generally adopted
in sparsely settled rural districts on
account of the great expense, and in
many localities the lack of stone OF
desirable quality. therefore propose
a plan for an improved roadway, and
call it 'new-style plank road"

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Never pasture an orchard until il
comes into bearing.
New wood always bears the best
fruit. Remember this in pruning.
Unfruitful orchards are so as q rule
because the soil is worn out.
Now is a good time to cut out the
old wood among the raspberries.
Cooperating is usually profitable
way of disposing of unmarketable
fruit.
Worthless and decaying trees in the
orchard are only harboring places for
vernlin.
Plum trees will not do we'll in sod.
Good cultivation from the start is nee.
essary.
Watering with tobacco water is one
of the best remedies for worms in
flower pots.
The ounce requires but little prun.
ing-only little thinning out of the
crowding branches.
When a peach tree has ceased to
bear, the cutting off of the old wood
will give it new life and vigor.
One pint of linseed oil, four pounds
of rosin and one pound of beeswax
makes good grating wax.
Apples are later and drop off from
the trees less when grown in sod than
when the land is kept cultivated.
So far as is possible Strawberries
should be set on reasonably high land,
at least ground that is readily drained.
A lack of potash in the soil is often
the cause of the fruit dropping from
the trees prematurely. Applying
wood ashes is a good remedy.
In nearly all cases with blackberry
plants more suckers will start up than
are needed for next years plants. All
unneeded ones should be cleaned away,
as they draw plant food from the
others.
With raspberries, rs soon as the
bearing season is over, cut the old
wood and the new shoots to four or
five in each hill, always bearing in
mind that to make next seasons crop
healthy growth of vigorous shoots
must be secured at this time.-St.
Louis Republic.

How TO Market Penrs.

The pear is one OF the finest fruits
that we have, and when picked at the
proper time and well ripened it is a
delicious morsel. We're it not for the
blight to which many varieties are sub
ject it would be planted more large
ly than il is. The pear should never
be allowed to ripen on the tree, but
should be picked several days before
ripening and sent Immediately to
market. If retained few days, they
soon begin to soften and are liable to
bruise in carrying to market. marring
their appearance and injuring their
sale. In order to obtain the top price
for pears send them in new clean crates
of one bushel in each crate, wrap each
pear in thin, clean white paper. and
pack closely together.

THE PARsON BIRD.

of every tennis party or five o'clock tea
that is held by the bird world of the
New Zealand bush. He can be taught
to speak, to crow like cock, bark
like dog and to whistle tunes, and at
evening he literally sings vespers and
rings the curfew bell-for his note is
then "like the clear high note of an
organ and again like the striking to-
gether of hollow metallic rods" He
closes the day with clear, silvery
toll" then retires decently to rest at
a suitable hour and sends I'll other
respectable birds off to rest also.
The bird is about the size and shape
of blackbird, but has a pair of deli
cate tufts of white feathers at his
throat, and is glossy dark green
otherwise, looking black in ordinary
lights. He is honey-eater and may
be seen lowering at the flowers of the
fax plant and fuchsia tree. But, alas!
the introduction of the bee is fast de-
stroying the tut. On more than one
occasion he has been found dead with
bees sting in his tongue. He is sell
dom still for a moment-preaching,
singing, exhorting, mimicking; he will
mimic every bird in the bush TO per-
lection. Then he is such buffoon; he
will break off in the middle of an ex-
quisite melody and indulge in the most
strange medley of sounds, impossible
to reproduce and difficult to describe,
but if one can imagine "the combina-
tion of cough, laugh and sneeze,
with the smashing of pane of glass;
that will be some slight approach to
the idea. The Maori have song of
AS lines, each descriptive of move
ment" of the tubs sonata.

Diplomacy of a Sheriff.

A Kansas sheriff arrested man near
the western end Of the state and had to
bring him to Leavenworth. He was
respectable looking man, and the
sheriff did not want to humiliate him
with handouts, and yet he was afraid
the man was desperate enough to at
tempt escaping. Presently brilliant
idea occurred to the sheriff. His pris-
oner had an artificial leg. The sheriff
unstrapped it and hid it in the baggage
car, and thus crippled the man rode in
otherwise perfect freedom back to
Leavenworth, and it is needless to ex.
plain that he made no attempt to run
away.

shows an arrangement that will be
found to fit this need. A hole is made
in the turf with an iron bar, and the
upright that is shown is driven down
into the ground. This upright has a
cylinder "a square box will do as welI
about it's lower end, to which the
hitching-rope is tied. This prevents
the rope getting wound about the
post. To the upright are nailed two
light strips of wood, over which some
cheap cloth is stretched, its position
being shown by the dotted lines. Make
this just high enough for a calf to
GO under, and it can be moved about
with great ease, using crowbar to
make a new hole in the turf in each
new location.-N. Y. Tribune.

No special length of plank is re.
