ed IN much the same way, that is, by Sc
Letting seedlings of our choice varieties,
and by the cross fertilization of our best
kinds on the Chinese and Japanese varie-
ties. The tree sprouts badly if the roots
are torn up. but if the land is prepared
for a persimmon orchard, as it should be
for an apple orchard, and cultivated in
the same way, the roots viii go deep down
( and not be broken. I planted a sprout
about eight inches in hight five years ago
in a row with the famous Ben Davis. l
have cultivated ii every year since, and
have not seen a sprout. This year il pro-
duced about forty nice specimens Of fruit.
So You see that seedlings and sprouts Will
begin to bear in from four to five years,
which is as soon as we can expect returns
from other tree fruits.
Seedless persinmons are scarce. My Ma
rion al first had but few seeds. but now
they are quite numerous, caused, I think,
by taking so many root cuttings from the
two trees ] had in bearing. j. l.. Nor
mand of Louisiana has a seedless one and
there is also one at the Indiana station.
Indiana must have the credit of publish
ing the first bulletin on the American per-
simmon. About the handling of the fruit
it says: THE persmmon is not as per-
ishable as some people suppose. 1t can
be kept for several months. The fruits
seldom rot but dry up, and in this condi-
ton they have been kept till March and
April by simply putting them in a cool,
dry place. They keep better, however,
when packed away in sugar in a jar or
other tight vessel. They may also be can
ned by simply placing the clean ripe fruit
in a glass jar, and pouring over it syrup
made of granulated sugar and water. 1t
is not necessary to heat the fruit before
canning. The long keeping qualities of
this fruit enable the grower to ship it to
distant markets without fear of loss from
decay"
People are beginning to appreciate the
persmmon, and this will soon create a
demand for 1T. It is rich and nutritious,
and besides, has an astringent property
which gives it a medicinal value. The
fruit is much sought after by the majority
of people. 1t comes into use after all 9TH
er fruits are off the trees, and stored or
put on the market. The trees seldom fail
to bear a crop and are almost entirely
free from the attacks of insects or fun
gous diseases. The early varieties COM

sold in the large cities for from So to SIS

soil on the hill tops. so exhausted by con-
tinuous cropping that it is practically
worthless. However, a warm soil, well ex-
posed to the sun, will produce the finest
of fruit. The persimmon is very hardy
in bud as it does not bloom until about
the first of June, when all danger of frost
is past I know of its being grown in
Northern Nebraska, and the Indiana Bull
letin says it will grow and produce fruit
as far north as the great lakes.

Horses Subject to Meningitis.

An epidemic of meningitis prevailed at
Albany, Ga, in the early part of January,
and we believe every case proved fatal.
The last issue of the National Rural of
Chicago describes fatal disease prevail
ing among horses in seven or more coun-
ties in Illinois, which the state veterinarian
and others. after careful investigation,
pronounce to be the Cerebro-Spinal men
nights that affects human beings. A great
many horses died of the disease during
December The veterinarian decided that
the trouble arose principally from the
feeding to the horses of unripe or unsouud
corn, much of which existed in Illinois
this season. Further observation may
show this not to be the prime cause, how
ever The disease generally breaks out in
low, undrained localities, after excessive
rains in the early winter. This disease
is a congestion of the coverings of the
brain and spinal cord, ~and rs usually first
indicated by a pain in the back of the
neck close up to the skull. Treatment
thus far has proved of no avail every in
dividual attacked dying in a very short

Trees in this climate should be trained

most desirable of all roses, or for that
matter, of any plants, of any kind. Soil
fertility, obviously, must be kept up to the
highest condition, as such quantities of
continuously produced flowers require
strong plants on wen fed roots.
Pruning Noisette roses is not attended

beset with thousands of thorns. Noisettes

Even in New Orleans, where roses
bloom till Christmas, it is considered best
to plant the running, ever-bloomiug sorts
on the south side of whatever wall tree
or arbor they are to cover. The roots are
thus warmed by the sun in winter and
