Teas, Russian Mu1berry.

As an ornament for the lawn. the
weeping Russian mulberry is a very de-
sirable dwarf tree, says Farm and Home.
1t forms a perfect umbrella-shaped head.
with long. slender, willowy branches
dropping to the ground parallel with the
stem. These hang like the most delicate
vines from hanging basket and are
swayed by the slightest breath of wind.
The tree is entirely free from the SEEM
ing Formally and stiffness Of the wSl-
known Kimarnock willow; and its 1.-THE
form and easy curves are the very oppo-
site of the irregular and grotesque habit
Of the weeping mountain ash, weeping
elms, ash, etc. It has beautiful foliage,
rather small, handsomely cut or divided
lobes, and of fresh looking, glossy
green. In autumn many of the leaves
are bordered with yellow, producing
very novel and pleasing effect. Being
true Russian mulberry it possesses the
wonderfully vigorous and healthy growth
for which that species Is so noted; is free
from diseases and insects.
Rapid in growth and abundant in fol-
iage, each branch adds to the formation
of finely rounded, symmetrical head,
making a most magnificent little tree. 1t
is especially desirable for ornamenting
small grounds where trees of large size
could not be used and is no less appro-
PIRATE in parks and other extensive places.

Soil Requirements in Fruit-Growing

For many years fruit growing has been
the most profitable branch of agriculture.
but there must be a change of present
methods if its prosperity is to be con-
tlnued says R. NJ. Kellogg before the
Michigan Horticultural Society.
The rich humus of our virgin soil made
it possible to produce the most luscious
peaches and other fruits with little care,
so that fortunes were rapidly made. Ev
erybody seemingly met with success, and
mad rush began for broad acres with
out thought of perpetuating the ideal
conditions which then existed.
The subject of pruning, to prevent ex-
haustion in trees and plants. of maintain
ing humus and plant foods of the soil,
and better system of tillage were given
very little attention, and the result is
general decline in productiveness Of orch
ards and berry fields.
For several years there has been Wig
orous inquiry for new varieties which
would give the old time results under
these changed conditions, but they will
never be found.
The past excessively hot, dry seasons
with constant tillage, have burned the
humus and vegetable matter from our
soils, bringing the soil grains together in
the pillow and cuitivator, the first heavy
rain causes them to settle together in a
dense mass so that the film movement of
water and capillary attraction are SO ac-
tive that the water comes to the surface
with great celebrity, and the ground quick
ly dries out to a, great depth, necessitat-
ing too frequent tillage of the surface.
The summer drought has become a ter
ror. Trees and plants weakened by the
lack of moisture, fall easy victims to fun
81, insects and disease.
The remedy is a restoration of the soil
to its former mechanical condition. Most
of our soils have an abundance of plant
foods If they could be made available;
but without a loose, friable soil, securing
the presence of the oxygen of the air,
with an abundance of moisture 10 form
soluble combinations which plants can
utilize, only a feeble growth can be Sc
cured under any system of tillage.
Applications of plant food in the way
of commercial fertilizer are of little avail
until the humus and vegetable matter is
again restored.

If Possible kin the weeds.

Whatever the cultivated crops may do.
or fail to do, weeds will be sure to grow
says the Farmer. No season is so wet as
to destroy them. They seldom perish by
drought. In the rare cases in which eli
matte conditions are such as to DESTROY
the varieties which had previously grown

Commissions Sore Eyes Among Cattle

Contagious Sore Eyes Among Cattle.
A bulletin of the Indiana experiment sta
ton says: For the past two weeks no.
tees have been received by the station rel
alive to outbreaks of sore eyes among cat
tie. These reports indicate that the disease
is new to many localities and of unusual
severity in places where 1t has occurred
before. The losses are always stated to be
large and the cattle go blind and are una
bic to Craze and keep out of trouble. The
per cent. affected ranges from ten to fifty
per cent. of the herd. Contagious sore eyes
makes it's appearance by a swelling of one
or both eyes, a partial or complete closing
of the lids and profuse flow of tears. The
eye-ball becomes inflamed "blood-shot,"
and In a few days the central part of the
eye over the pupil will bulge out. The bulg-
ing portion win be from the size of a pea
to that of a grain of corn. Underneath the
surface there will be a yellowish white
color, due to pus. In some cases the bulg-
ed portion breaks across. The disease is
quite painful. The principal changes take
place within a week, but it requires about
six weeks to run the full course. The re-
suit is that a few are blind In both eyes,
many are blind in one eye. and some es-
cape blindness, but the sight as a rule, is
impaired. 1t interferes greatly with graz
ing during the time of the disease, and
may permanently.
Treatment: The disease is contagious,
and therefore a separation of the diseas-
ed from the healthy should be made as
soon as the first symptoms appear. When
ever practical keep the cattle up in the
stable during the day and Act them out at
night. This can be done as a rule with
COWS. The local treatment of the eyes is to
apply a one per cent solution of atropine
twice a day. and apply calomel dust once
a day. The calomeI can usually be applied
by using one of the small insect busting
boxes. A dash of a saturated solution OF
boracic acid has been found to be of some
service. The attendant should be sure 10
wash his hands with carbolic acid solution
or some other dsinfectant after giving the
treatment, as there is possibility OF con-
Yeying the disease from cattle to people.
