August.

August, sweetheart OF the sun,
Summer work In nearly done
While the idle days are going
List thy ardent lovers wooing.
Now the year Is In its prime
Take thy brief vacation time
Stubbly fields are brown and yellow,
Pippins ripe are growing me How
Tiger lilies. gorgeous, stately,
Flank the meadows shOrn SO lately;
Banners of the golden-rod
Lift above the dusty sod.
Ranks on ranks of shining corn.
Jeweled by the dew OF morn,
Whisper In the evening airs
Like d legion saying prayers.
Farmer-boys on loaded wains,
Harvest moons on gathered grains;
Tender hearts bit forlorner,
Summers turned another corner.

II South Portland should ever form

AGRICULTURAL BULLETIN.

The September bulletin of the State
board of agriculture contains the follow
ing interesting letters from Hancock
county farmers:
SEDGwIcK-I think the soil for fruit
trees should be rocky. l have some trees
in Ioamy soil that will not stand up, but
Top over, while Others on rocky soil stand
up all right. For fertilizer 1 like ashes
best. / would pillow a young orchard as
long as could without injury to the trees
| would like to know the cause of black
knot on plum trees, and il there ia any
remedy for 1t but to cut them down?
A. Ii. DoRITY.
(NorE- Black knot is one Of the creates, OF
enemies TO plum culture. Ii is the result of the
fungous growth There Is no remedy but to
cut out ali affected parts and burn them. High
culture is preventive, as It enables the trees
to better withstand the attacks. A plum
orchard should be kept rich. and as free from
weeds or grass as a cornfled.-secrefary.)
BRooKsvILLE-I have visited some
orchards lately that looked fine and
thrifty, while others looked bad, the trees.
being badly shaped, some lying on the
ground with their roots exposed to the
sun, with thick punches of suckers grow
ing from them. The fault may be with
the owner, 1t may be with the long, cold
open winters when the ground freezes very
deep, or 1t may be with the soil, which in
some orchards Is very shoal, not more
than ten inches deep to the hard pan. i
think one should be very particular about
selecting soil for an orchard. / think pas
turing with hens is better than pasturing
with sheep or swine. l.. c ROBERTS
DEER IsLE-In this section nearly all
who first started to buy trees made the
mistake of setting them too near together.
Ample room should be given for the
spread OF the branches, without having
one tree interfere with another. Another
mistake Is made in not pruning enough
when the trees are young. The branches
should be kept clear of cross shoots by
taking them off at starting, as 1t hurts
tree to take of large limbs. From the
little experience have had with spraying,
| have found it very beneficial. especially
in preventing scab. fused Bordeaux mix
ture on pear trees and think 1t protected
them from slugs, as the slugs did not APP
pear where the spray was used. A few
standard varieties are better than large
mum Der of varieties, and in this vicinity
winter fruit is all that is worth raising for
market, the Baldwin being one of the best
varieties. r. s. WARREN.
BUCKsPoRT--When the apple trees were
in blossom We had several days of cold,
easterly, wet weather, which did not give
the bees chance to work. | believe that
this is one of the greatest reasons why the
trees that blossomed early have but few
later, after the weather became warmer,
such as the Northern Spy, Rhode Island
Greening, and some others, have a fair
crop. Another reason for the small crop
this year is the extremely dry weather that
caused them to drop from the trees when
they were about the size of acorns.

One OF the prettiest bits Of animal life

is in William Davenport Hulbert's
article, "The Deer" In McClure's Maga-
