Among the general merits of the
Belgian hare it Is exceedingly domestic
and will thrive in close confinement.
1t is therefore in preference to all 9TH
ers the animal to be raised In cities
where space is consideration. A box
8 by is ample room for doe snd her
little ones. Another important factor
In the breeding and care of animals
In cities Is cleanliness. In this respect
we have no domestic animal or fowl
that will compare with the Belgian
hare. The demands for feed that the
Belgian hare makes are small. 1t may
be kept on the trimmings Of garden
vegetables or hay. A little grain should
be given the doe while the youngsters
is so small that it is hardly worth the
mention. Grain must be fed when
fattening for the table.
AS meat producer the Belgian hare
stands high. not only in its superb
quality of meat, but in quantity as
well. 1t will excel in the latter regard
any animal that can be kept in equal
space or at no greater expense. Upon
this solid economic basis must rest the
business of propagating them. The
Belgian hare is the most prolific ami
NAL that has thus far been homestead
ed. In this respect 1t is marvel. It
will produce it's young every 60 days
and on an average Of from 8 to IL at
time. : - - - <

Native plums are infertile when
planted alone. and care should be TAX
en- to select varieties which bloom at
about the same time.
The American group is the hardest
of the natives. as well as of all other
classes. The trees are vigorous, with
dark green leaves; the fruit is firm,
with thick skin, dull in color, but usu-
ally high in quality, although having
more or less astringency next to skin
and stone. Some of the varieties Of this
class are desirable for home use, but
owing to rather unattractive appear
ance but few of those now known are
likely to prove profitable for market
The following are some of the most de-
sirable that have been grown here:
American Eagle, Champion, Hawkeye,
Illinois Ironclad, Louisa, Rollingstone
and Weaver.
The Miner group is intermediate be-
tween the Americana and Wild Goose
groups and includes some choice varie-
ties for culinary purposes. The follow.
ing are desirable: Forest Rose, Miner
and Prairie Flower.

ties of this class are mostly vigorous

send, of the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege, in circular just issued regarding
the fall treatment of pear blight urges
that the blight be cut out or burned in
all cases as soon as possible after it makes
its appearance. In orchards where the
blight was carefully and persistentlv re-
moved and destroyed most of the traas
were saved. The disease producing
organisms, although inactive during the
fall and winter, are not dead and ORC
capable of living over the winter In
the spring these organisms again become
active, and it is from the so-called hold
over cases that the blight is spread.
