cradle pruning in the tops is avoided,
because it would expose the larger
branches to the deadly sun scald. This
difficulty is less frequently met in the
northeastern states, but the writer Of.
A. Waugh, in The Country Gentleman)
has lately visited an orchard as far
north as Canada and New England line,
where nearly so per cent of the trees
were ruined by this trouble. They
were pruned too high. with heads six,
seven and eight fee, from the ground
Sun scald is usually worst ON apples
and pears, but 1t may appear on al
most any tree. The accompanying IL
lustration Is from tree of Downer's
Late Red cherry growing Tor dying in
Maryland. When the damage is as
old as this, where it has been accumu-
lating for several years, it is doubtful
If any remedy can be applied though
one can see in the photograph how per-
sistently this tree has tried to heal
over the wound. When taken In the
early stages, sun scald may be cured
by protecting the trunk. with boards,
papers, straw or some similar material.
At the same time the scaly, burned
parts should be cleaned away, and
some sort of wax may be applied. The
best treatment for sun scald, however,
is to avoid 1t.
Sunburns are usually only the be-
ginning of other serious troubles. Bor.
ers commonly follow closely after.
Raataria and mOJda potn ocaoca and
cause increased damage to wood and
bark, and the rain and sun check and
crack the exposed tissues, to their
great and permanent detriment. 1t is
doubtless a fact that sun scald is
more important enemy Of fruit trees
than many of the fungi that have been
extensively studied and deliberately
discussed in recent books and bulle>
tins.

Oversnnguine Dairymen.

B. D. says in The Country Gentle
man that the Five States Milk compa-
ny has entailed great hardship on a
good many dairymen individually. The
high prices which the company pro-
posed to pay to the milk producer in
duced many farmers to purchase an
extra number of cows, and the demand
for cows caused their former owners
to ask high prices for them. Rather
than lose the prospective profits of
milk a considerable number of dairy
men who had not the ready money to
purchase with went into debt for the
animals and now have that debt to
pay The milk company has COLLAPSE
ed, and the farmers have these extra
use the milk. Some of 1t will undoubt-
eddy find it's way to the nearest cheese
factory, but under the most favorable
circumstances those who have bought
cattle on credit, expecting to get half
q cent extra for their milk and in that
way work out the cost, are placed in n
most unfortunate position. The sug-
gestion has been made that creameries
be built in the neighborhood of some
of these new dairy farms and the milk
be used in that way But 1t takes mon
ey to build creameries, and those who
have gone into debt for cows will
hardly feel like going In still deeper
by subscribing for stock in new COM
pany. What will be the final result of
those conditions it is as yet too early to
foresee.

Quality of Milk.

The amount of cream thrown up on
milk is such misleading guide that it
has long ago been given up in the milk
Ing tests Of the British Dairy Farmers
association, and we now depend on an
analysis alone. While American ex-
periments have shown that In the
amount of butter which can be recov-
cred from a given quantity OF milk
there may be variation of as much as
80 per cent, depending on the nature of
the food given, all the while the
analyses of two differing milks may be
approximately alike-in other words,
the visibility" of the cream and the
"churnability' of the same are large
~ Influenced by the nature of the food,
while the chemical analysis Of the milk
Is not influenced at all or only to
Slight degree or temporarily.
One does not break with the beliefs
of his youth very easily, and | have
been hard to convince myself that the
quality of the milk did not directly de-
pend on the quality of the food, but
when all the experiments that have
actually been tried on the point bear
out the new theory | am bound to
come to the conclusion that the quality
of the food by itself alone hast little or
nothing to do with tine quality Of the
milk.-P. @. Mcconnell, b. &c., Ia Agri-

SUN scALp.

A Factor Requiring Consideration
In Growing Fruit Trees.

scald is one of the most important
factors in growing fruit trees. Espe-
cially is this true in the southwestern
states, where the danger from sun,
burning controls the whole practice
of cultivation and pruning. In that
country the trees are headed low, even
down to within foot or six inches of
the ground, In order to protect the
trunks. At the same time any consid.
