The Eradication of Black Knot.

The swellings upon the branches of the
plum and cherry trees to which the name
Of black knot has been given. have been
found very destructive, says the American
Agriculturlst- While in some seasons the
growth is but slow, in others they develop
rapidly and destroy entire orchards. The
development Of the knots begins during
May and June, when, upon the branches
that are one or two years old a slight
swelling will be noticed and the outer bark
Will crack, showing the green layer be-
heath.Which VIII soon take on a russell APP
pearance. Upon the surface an olive
green mold win soon appear, which is due
10 the development of summer spores OF
the fungus. These are borne about by the
wind and serve to scatter the disease The.
development of The spores continues and.
by autumn, the surface will be of a black
color, covered with innumerable minute
pimples in which the winter spores of the
fungus viii be developed These will ripen
in February and thus the disease will Sc
cure another start. The old knots are dry
and hard and each year extend both ways
along the branches, until they reach a con-
siderable size
by carefully examining the trees during
the early summer, the knots can be detect
cd In the early stages of their DEVELOPMENT.
and II at once cut off and burned, further
spISdu Oh the disease Will be stopped. In
removing infected branches, the cuts
should be made, Il possible, a foot or more
below the knots, in order that the diseased
portions may be destroyed When the
knots are upon the trunks or main branch
eS of small trees, where ii would be iunpos-
slDle TO cut them off without DESTROYING
the trees, the deceased tissues may be cut
away and If the wounds are painted with
lnseed oil, or tincture of iodine, the dan
ger of stopping further growth will be pre-
vented Prof L. r. Taft, Bulletin 155.
Michigan experiment staion) While the
removal of diseased branches is the only
remedy that can be depended on to pre-
vent the spreading of the disease. yet if
the trees are thoroughly sprayed with bor-
deauX mixture, 1t VIII be impossible for the
spores to obtain lOdgment upon the
healthy branches. In several portions of
Michigan, il is reported that the knots are
becoming very troublesome and that they
nave destroyed many plum trees. In case
the owners do nor take prompt action to
check the disease, the fruit growers of the
locality have in their hands the power to
see that the knots are destroyed as 1t only
requires petition of ten free-holders to
secure the appointment of commissioners
whose duty it viii be to secure the destruc-
ton OF all knots, and of the trees If badly
affected.

Cabbage, collard aud tomato can still be
set out If the seeds were sown In April,
as they should have been, and the plants
protected from Insects, they are in good
shape to put out now. With care 1t Is still
possible 10 grow cabbage and collard plants
to be set out next month; of cabbage the
late kinds should be used-improved strains
of Flat Dutch" Large Drumhead" and
Florida Header. Insects are very damag-
ing to this late planting, and it usually re-
quires great watchfulness to circumvent
them, but IL is possible to do so with the
various insecticides now In use. Where the
harlequin bug is prevalent and the green
worm abundant, the contest must be in
cessant. The garden should be kept
clean-no weeds allowed to grow up and
seed and befoul the land. If nothing else
is planted, put all vacant plats in sweet
potatoes or peas.
This is the pTOmper time to start a late
crop of tomatoes Set out plants if any
are on hand. 1t is not too late to SOW the
seed for plants to be set out the latter part
OF the month or early I'm July. This late
crop usually produces enormously and the
ripe fruit wall be in great demand for can
ming. Late in the season there is quite a
demand for green tomatoes for making
pickles. BY all means have tomatoes up

The plant with the long vine or stem sent
by New Conner" is the ordinary vetch.
In this section We have only winter
vetch. Even If derived from what is call
cd spring vetch in cold countries, it soon
becomes winter vetch in the South. That
is, seed of any Of it in the soil will ger
inmate in the fall or early winter and Will
not be injured by our winter weather, but
rarely. The vetch is very rich food for
milk cows and other cattle, and If you
could procure the seed cheaply, save 1t for
instance, you could by sowing the seed
along with mixture of rye and oats In
october, make as fine a spring pasture as
you would care to have. Ii is rather diff
cult to save the seed, for the pods pop open
irregularly and scatter the seed on the
ground but when used for pasture, little
or no seed will form, of course.

Lime ON Soil.

1t Is mistaken idea that lime is a fer
tllizer directly, says the Southern Planter.
Its action is that of a digester of vege-
table matter and nberator of the IN
available food naturally in the soil This
elucidates the truth of the old adage that
Time makes the father rich and the son
poor IL is, however. very valuable when
used judiciously, to effect these purposes

the soil by making lighter a heavy ..lav
soil, and binding together the loose narti-
Giles of a sandy soil. II should not he

ter except in small quantity for the our-
pose Of improving the texture It sholld

ter TO give II time to act upon the soil
and should always be applied on the top.
1t VIII quickly work down into the soil
1t Is valuable to apply as a top dressing
TO an old meadow in the fall. We have
applied as much as two tons to the acre
with advantage. It's effect is to kill out
the coarser grasses, and to encourage The
growth OF the clover and fine grasses. As
remedy for sheep soTrel we do not re-
gard II as of value. We have seen sheen
sorrel growing luxuriantly in an old lime
kiln. Sheep sorrel is an indication of
poverty in the soil. and can be DESTROYED
by making the land rich enough to pro
duce the better grasses. We should not ad-
wise the use Of lime as a remedy for bor-
ers in apple and peach trees. II is too
caustlc to apply directly to the trees. The
best remedy for these pests is 20 pick them
out with the point of knife or a Niece
of wire, and then 10 bank up the soil
around the roots TO prevent their getting

A Good FnrmnIn.

Here Is a fertilizer formula given by the
director of the experiment station at &C.
neva, N. Y, being that used by them IN the
growing of sugar beets at the station
Two hundred and fifty pounds sulpha te
OF potash, 50 per cent. actual potash 800
pounds acidulated rock, IA per cent phos-
phorlc acid, 200 pounds dried blood, 10 Der
cent. nitrogen, and 200 pounds of nitrate
of soda Is per cent. nitrogen. This would
give fertilizer containing about "a per
cent. nitdogen, AZ per cent. soluble phos-
phoric acid and 10 per cent. potash, and
would cost to make for material from $50
to $40 per ton, depending much upon the
quantity bought and cost of freight from
the large cites where they are sold at
Wholesale
1t is a good fertilizer to use upon any soil
where nitrogen and potash are needed, and
well adapted to almost any field or gar
den crop. Upon land which has been
heavily MANFRED with stable manure for
years past. like a market garden. we
should reduce the amounts Of nitrate of
soda and of dried blood at least one half
greatly reducing the cost of the fertilizer.
unless il was intended for some very rap
ia and rank growing crop These are the
most expensive ingredients, as bought by
the ton. Upon land where ashes had
lately been used we could safely reduce
the amount Of potash.

Firm the Soil.

When the ground is dry and warm we
think that there may be gain in soaking
some varieties of seed for a short time be-
fore putting it into the earth, not long
enough to have the sprouts appear but to
swell 1t a little. We have tried it with
corn, peas and beans, and thought they
came up earlier, though we had no rows
planted with unsoaked seed to test it, But
now writer claims that dry soil may alb
sOrb the moisture from the soaked seed
so that it would not come up as quickly
as if planted without soaking This may
be true and vet our practice has been a
correct one, for we probably never planted
seed in the spring in ground that was dry
enough for that and if we did we should
not expect il to terminate until moisture
reached it in some way, whether put in
dry or soaked.
The soil viii very rarely be too dry to
terminate soaked seed If a roller Is used
to turn the soil over the seed as soon as
it Is planted.

The South Carolina rock when ground

known as Floats" Tt contains altogether
about % per cent. of phosphoric acid, but
only about one-quarter of one per cent CD
of this is available for immediate use, in
other words soluble. Where one is will
ing to wait several years for its good eff
fects, the material is Of value, but very
few are disposed to do this. When pur-
chased at its actual value it can be prob
ably applied to any soil lacking
phosphoric acid, especially TO orchards,
to meadow or pasture land; but it is not
at all advisable to use it on cultivated
crops. For quick growing crops like Irish
potatoes turnips, corn, etc, it would have
little effect the first year. When this rock
