CULTIVATING PEARS.
Subject UpOm which Little UnHnim'
ity Seems to Exist Among
Fruit Growers.

| believe it is conceded on all hands
that all young pear trees should be
cultivated, at any rate up to the point
where fruiting begins. Here cultiva'
tors differ; some preferring to con-
tinue stirring the soil with the plow OF
spade several times during the grow
ing season while others would SOW to
grass, and top-drcss with manure dur
ing the winter, while still some Others
would allow the trees to take their
chances without manuriHg. In the
opinion of the writer, good Judgment
would determine a modification OF
these practices according to circum-
stances, the end to be gained being
yigor sufficient to develop strong
healthy fruit buds, and carry to matur-
ity fair crop of fruit without an ex-
cessive stimulation Of wood growth
which tends to make the tree cast it'
fruit and become more susceptible Il
attacks of the blight. In this, soil ant
variety must be considered together
i For instance, standard Bartlett Oh
| rich or strong soil, if highly cultivated
| is exceedingly liable to blight; ON
poor soil, uncultivated, it would no
have yigor sufficient TO perfect fuI
crop of fruit; per contra, a standar

cultivation, on fair soil, and is con
