varieties, furnished by reputable nur-
serymen, are more expensive in first cost
than those from the neighbors, but the
difference in cost is certainly lost in the
difference in price obtained for the first

the value of strawberries as money

If that most important point in the
scoring of butter, the flavor, is due to
bacteria, we will say that we once knew
a neighbor to get the bacteria Of onion

as strongly favored with the onion as

Some sugar beets are noted for their
high percentage of sugar, but are light
troopers and are best suited for those
localities where the tendency is to grow
too large "A crop of coarse beets low in
sugar Others are better troopers but
not so high in sugar, and are adapted to
soils where the tendency is to produce

Stone of the Cornell station says the
Vilmorin and the Dervaux are among
the very rich varieties, but are rather

the Dippe and the Meta Kleinwanzle-

NEW LIFE FOR TREES.
Q New York Farmers Plan For Renew
ing the bark ON Fruit Trees.


A correspondent writes from Onon-
daga county, N. Y, to The Rural New
Yorker as follows: Back in the fifties
l visited large orchard in the town of
Clay, this county, and was surprised to
find the trees, although they were very
old, loaded with the finest Of fruit of
various kinds, nearly ripe for picking.
The owner stated that five years before
the trees, being very old, were nearly
valueless, but by new treatment the
whole orchard had been restored To the
then present condition of the most per-
feet fruitage.
/ found his treatment to consist i'm
each year in removing three strips of old
bark from the body of the tree, each
strip about three inches in width, the
most essential point being the right
time of doing it. This time he found to
be- when the bark would peel easiest,
and being when the materials for form
ing the new grain of wood We're in a
condition Of "A soft pulp under the bark.
He had removed the strips June 3 to
| 90. During the remainder Of the season
the grooves made by removing the strip
of bark were filled with new bark, the
hidebound condition of the tree was re-
lieved, and the new grain of wood was
doubled in thickness entirely around the
tree. This permitted the sap to flow
freely, and the first autumn the fruit
was greatly improved. The next season
it was large and of the most perfect
quality.
The stripping had been continued five
years, the old bark had all been re-
placed by new and tender bark, and
! the farmer said that his orchard paid
better than any other part of his farm
Spitzenberg trees and other kinds were
restored to the finest fruitage
The tree body should be scraped with
hoe to remove the loose bits of hard
bark Then with sharp, strong knife
make two cuts for each strip through
the bark from the top of the body down
to the ground, holding the knife little
slanting, SO as to make the inner surface
of the strip narrower than the outer to
facilitate its removal. Let the cuts run
together at the ends. They may be ex-
tended out upon the large limbs as far
as they can be reached. From the upper
end of each strip extend single knife
cuts through the bark so far as the old
bark is rough and hard.

bordeaux Solution For Tomato Blight.

A review of results obtained at the
Maryland station seems to give unmis-
taxable evidence Of the value of Dor
deaux solution when growing tomatoes
that are likely to be affected by blight.
The spray was in no sense "a cure or
even complete preventive, yet by its
use the disease was held i'll check to a
great extent, so that the plant was able
to carry on the functions of the devel-
oping and maturing of the fruit, so as
TO produce marked increase in the
crop. The average increase produced as
result of the spraying of 30 varieties
in 1896 was 30 tons per acre, and in
1897, with 10 varieties tested, was 2.2
tons per acre

Agricultural Brevities.

So far as soil and climate are con
cerned, it seems to be settled that New
York state is well adapted to the com
mercial growing of sugar beets.
A western New York horticulturist
who has sprayed his orchards as many
as five times in season expresses the
opinion that, commercially speaking, it
does not pay to spray more than three
times-first, when the buds begin to
swell; second, just after the blossoms
have fallen, and third, when the fruit
is about pea size.
The Horticultural society of Vermont
has recommended the Baldwin, Rhode
Island Greening, Fameuse and North

that state.

commenting upon the large number of
farmers who grow strawberries as n sort
of side issue and persist in buying their
plants of some neighbor who has him

neighbours says;
The result is mixture of half dozen
or more varieties and rs many or more
chance seedlings, good, bad and indiffer-
ent. mainly the latter, and yet growers
of such fruit are constantly grumbling
at low prices and saying that it does not
paw to assert their berries-doubtless
because there can bee little choice in such
a mixture.
