A GOLD SEEKER.
Writes an Interesting Letter
From the kIOndike
Gold Fields.
Gold is Not Easy to Get and
He Would Gladly Come
Home.
Thousands Of Men Out of
Work and Money at
Dawson City.

The letter below IS one written y
james F. Vincent of GIyndon, MIMI,
who writes from Dawson City. He went
with party to Klondike from Fargo
and Moorhead last year. Mcleod who
is mentioned is we'll known as aNorther o
Pacific fireman. Vincent describes the
trip as terrible one of hardships and
hunger. At one point the party ran out
OF meat and killed two wolves. These
they ate Notwithstanding the fact that
the dogs refused to touch the meat
The following is portion of his inter
estiDg letter:
Dawson City, June 7, 1899.
Arrived here June 5 via Stewart
River and the Yukon. We wintered 225
miles from Fort Mcpherson, on Peel
river. wrote IN November. Indians
took out letters to McPhereon-should
have left by dog-tesm about April lst.
Left winter camp Jan. 20 to cross the
Rocky mountains. Had an awful trip
pulled 485 toboResn. loads IT'S miles
over the snow trail, on snow shoes. to
where we stopped Oh this SIDE TO whip
saw lumber and bnild boats. Had to
break trail every day, and travelled every
day till We got all across April q, It
was 50, 60 and 65 degrees below zero,
week in and week out.
Only two OF the original party are
with me now-Laninette and Thei.
Berg and Reosellar on their way down
the Stewart; Heinrichs and Snultz stay
ed on the other slde-could'nt make
the trip; two deaths from scurvy, and
five more not expected to live when We
left camp on the Peel. About so got
over the mountains; three parties Of us
travelled together-l6 men in all.
An old grizzly came Into camp one
day-took me by surprlse-msde riRh,
for me-had my cartridge belt of. rifle
loaded With three "minature" cartridges
only. for I had been watching some
geese. Chased me up tree, and very
near got me tell you, but hung on
to my rife and made him so sick with
the three little cartridges that be went
I didn't go after either.
This Dawson country is overdone-
the whole region is staked out into
claims The few that pay anything pay
big. There seems to be great amount
OF gold here, but few men own it, and
they and these crooked Canadian off
GERS control everything. It's the big
gest skin game on the face OF the earth
today. There are from 1000 to 10000
men here out of work, out Of money
and out Of grub. Saw Billy O'Neil
Orange Hadley. Dan Mcleod, Dave
Anderson and Bob I thompson all Fargo
men. O'Neil is working a claim on
shares; HadIey is tending bar, Anderson
mining. Mcleod running q stationary
engine and Thompson rafting logs on
The river. All of them sick of the coun-
try. Judge Guptill is here also, but
have not seen him. Provisions are
very high, but thanks to the meat We
killed last winter have about three
months supply lett.

ION, and mo doubt many of you will
agree with me, that what is not known

/ will say something ON that king
of fruits whose range is Unlimited
the apple. 1t is grown in nearly all
parts Of the United States, and i'm
some sections attains a very high de-
gree of excellence and profit. Original
ing from wild and worthless species,
the apple has, by a long period OF
ameliOration, through cultivation and
reproduction from seed, reached it's
present degree Of perfection The trees
are slow growers, and in some sections
hardy and long-lived,. some reaching
the age of 100 years.
The apple can never reach perfec-
ton in Florida, nor will it ever become
prOftable; our summers are too long
and hot. There are other sections
which are so much better adapted to
the growth of the apple, that, in my
opinion, the fruit growers of Florida
will do well to let our neighboring
states produce the apple, except for
the sake of variety
The May and June apple will do
much better here than the late summer
or autumn apple. The finest Northern
varieties, when brought here, fail to
mature their fruit, often dropping it i'm
July and August. We find, even in
Georgia, some varieties which succeed
perfectly in the mountains, utterly
State.
1 would recommend for Florida
planting, one year old grated trees.
Plant thirty feet each way and Guilt
vate some garden or field crop between
the trees. Do not plant the apple tree
unless you intend to cultivate it. It
requires a good deal Of lime and ashes,
and, in fact almost any kind of we'll
rOtted COW or stable manure will be
found good. The best soil for the ap-
pie is the we'll drained clay, sub-soil.
The tree should be trained low i'm our
State, thus protecting the trunk from
the hot summer sun.
Apples usually bear good crops in
alternate years, which makes it very
necessary to- fertilize the apple tree
heavily every winter-say about JAN
uary, as it often occurs that apple Or
chards die of starvation Our farm
ers too often make the mistake Of
planting apple trees with the idea that
they require no special attention, or
fertiliZing.
The apple requires very little prun
ing; in fact, it often suffers from too
much pruning. Pruning time with the
apple, as with the pear, is in Deem
her, when the trees are dormant; and

Something About the Pear Blight.

Pear blight microbes are found in
abundance in diseased tissue can be
cultivated, and the disease reproduced
in healthy trees. They cannot be kill
ed by cold, but die at temperature of
very hot water. The host plants are
the pear, apple, crab, ounce, service
berry, etc. The microbes move en-
masse from one cell to another, break
ing down the cellular walls, passing in
millions through and between. In
blossom blight the microbes appear in
the nectar and penetrate the hectares,
multiply and go down the stem. Bees
visit the blossoms and carry the mi
crobes from flower to flower. The dis
ease spreads with great rapidity; only
the brief time of blooming cuts this
short.
Spreading through the fruit spurs,
these are killed to the bough. The
virus when it appears outside can be
carried only by special means-birds
and man. Even after blossomi, g,
there is possibility of infection of the
green tips. The disease may also start
in tender growing bark. In artificial
infection in the field it was never
spread except where punctures exist
ed. When started in tender twigs, it
spreads downward till it meets cells
too firm to be affected. From the fruit
spurs it will spread up and down.
girdling the branch. If the woody
cylinder is uninjured, the branch may
live year or more; but hot, thunder
GUS weather causes the microbes to
overflow into the cylinder and the
branch collapses suddenly. The mi
crobes die if they cannot spread.
If any of them live till fall, they may
live over till sap runs in spring and
spread rampantly. The hold-over
blight will spread upward and the
gummy virus run down, ready to
spread the infection. The blight varies
according to the tree. Some varieties
are easily attacked while others are
more or less immune. 1t has nearly
driven out the Bartlett and Vicar from
southern orchards. With very fertile
soils and rapid growth, pear culture is
almost hopeless. Fertilizers have an
effect on the disease, but it is not cas-
lily shown. In an experiment with 200
pear trees in pots, intended to- show
the effect of heterogeneous manures on
blight, all the trees blighted. Moisture
favors the disease; drouth restricts it.
The one factor is presence of the germ,
no matter what are the conditions.
Bordeaux mixture will kill most of
the microbes, not all-thiS would re-
quire constant spraying. Filling holes
in the trees with drugs is nonsense
The true remedy is, first, cutting out
all diseased wood intelligently, and
cutting out late in the season all hold
over blight In August and Septem-
Der the twig blight is plainly visible
