AT the last meeting Of the Southern
Minnesota Horticultural Society Clar-
ence Wedge Of Albert Lea, dealt with
this most important subject to north
western horticulturists. In that por-
tion OF our country west Of Lake Mich
lgan and north Of Missouri there is no
menace more constantly hanging over
the fruit interests OF the country than
that OF root killing" Last winter was
a severe and emphatic lesson In this
line. but on account Of snow protec-
tion when the thermometer was the
lowest we did not fare as badly as our
Wisconsin and South Iowa brethren.
Il seemed to matter little last winter
what the condition Of the soil happen
ed to be. II the snow were blown on
and the earth fully exposed The moist
low places suffered fully as much as
the dry exposed hills.
The strongest defense we can make
is by the use Of soil covering Of some
kind. A very thorough mulch should
be maintained In orchards at all sea
sons Of the year, and TO hold this In
place and also to keep the snow. Mr.
Wedge favors the growing Of raspber-
ries along the orchard rows II Prof
Hansons recently recommended trial
OF the little Siberian bush crab AZ
stock apple proves all that may be
hoped for It. we may not always be at
the mercy Of a winter drouth as in our
nurseries we surely are very largely
at the present time.
Root killing among small fruits ls
very hard matter 20 provide against
and is very serious cause OF loss to
berry growers. Here a cover crop Is
out Of the question and a mulch would
be too expensive and frequently Of no
avail. A cheap and effective system
Of irrigation Is about the only remedy
In the roots OF the wild plum we for
tunately have an iron-clad stock upon
which to graft and about the only
protection needed Is a dust blanket in
summer and well-loosened soil Tor
winter. II. however, the plum is
grated on the peach or some foreign
stock IL viii need even more careful
winter cover than the apple.

CONDENSED from Farmers Review
stenographic Report Of Illinois Dairy

Oscar Err OF the Illinois Agricultural
College spoke on the care Of milk. The
keeping Of milk depends on two
things The absorption Of gases and
the presence Of bacteria. When milk
Ing the FIRST fve streams should be
thrown away In the care Of dairy
utensils. sterilization Is necessary II
perfectly germ-free vessels are desired
Before milking the uddera Of the COWS
should be washed no matter how clean
they may be. The washing prevents
,-e hairs and scurf from falling into
the milk. Both OF these carry germs
The washing should be done with q wet
sponge. Feeding should not be done
while the milking is in progress. as
the PARTICLES Of dust from the hay may
be laden with germs and thus get into
the milk. The question Is raised as 10
whether It is better to milk with wet
or dry hands. Il is a foul practice 70
milk with wet hands. by which I mean
the practice Of wetting the hands with
milk when milking. It Is necessary 10
wash the hands before milking, wipe
them and milk with as dry hands as
possible. Moisten the hands with
water not so IL viii run but jus; give
a molstness 10 the hands.
As regards the stable have it well
ventilated, well-drained and we'll
lighted. We should use lime with some
other disinfectant In the stable to Kill
the bacteria. Az soon as the milk is
drawn it should be removed into a
cooling room and there aerated. This
aeration should take place IN clean
locality: for II It takes place where
the air Is foul It had better not be
done at all, and the non-suecess OF
aerators Is largely due to the fact that
they are not used In places where the

The plum orchards Of the past still
exist ID the 4, mories of our middle
aged and old people They are mostly
remembered as hanging fun Of purple
and white an black fruit Frightened
BY the dews o morning Those we're
the days Of big dreams c0neeruing
plums The ~ uii0 was unknown
and the black knot had not begun %
be burden. Ia every part p the east
the orchards were set out and 'hi-
ished. Every home had It's group OF
trees and the children played under
the branches and culled the pretty
fruit as they did the flowers. People
looked forward to the time when
plums would be In surprising abund-
ance In every locality. But the dream
was not to come true. From Europe
came a pest with which Americans
did not know how 70 grapple. Il
swept like a destroyer over the coun-
Try. Little by little the beautiful
branches OF the plum trees became
filled with unsightly black knots and
ceased to bear fruit Tree after tree
was cut down but the pest merely re-
appeared on other trees. No variety
was potent against It and every de-
fense failed. No man knew the ma
ture Of the enemy. so the plum or
chards disappeared, and men IN despair
ceased even 70 try 10 groE them. From
that point the scientists took up the
work Little by little the nature Of
black-knot was found out and reme-
dies discovered Today the fruit
grower knows how TO combat the most
destructive Of an these diseases and
the plum orchards are reappearing. Let
as hope that the time is not far dis
tant when every home viii have its
little grove OF plum bearing trees.
Every farmstead viii be made more
beautiful and more pleasing to It's in
habitanis II a plum orchard exists on
IT, Today the culture Of plums has
been reduced to such a science that the
novice and the amateur can succeed
with them. Within the last ten years
many plums have been brought In
from foreign countries. and more va
rieties have been discovered growing
wild In our own woods. These have
been cultivated and developed tin we
have very large list from which to
draw
weeds his greatest obstacle to success.
The experienced farmer or fruit grow
er seldom mentions them. He knows
that they are easily kept down by the
cultural methods that the crops should
have whether there be weeds or not.
When fruit culture is carried on on
q small scale one Of the best means Of
keeping down weeds is the mulch.
This mulch may be of any kind Of
verdure-grass or straw OF weeds. The
writer has found It a very seryiceable
thing IN the culture OF tomatoes.
There is a good deal Of grass and
weeds mown that is not suitable for
hay and this is placed between the
rows Of tomatoes. Il ensures three
things: The keeping down of the
weeds. the conservation Of moisture
and the protection Of the fruit from
dirt There Is a fourth object that is
perhaps attained and that is the in
crease Of nitrogen In the surface soil
due TO proper shading and moisture
under the mulch.

in the Harrisburg Opera house on
Thursday to nominate candidates for
State Treasurer and Supreme Court
Judge. The Indications are that the

citing in the party's history. by reason
of the contesting delegations from

gates has been certified by the city
committee of which Ex-Governor Rob-
ert E. Pattison is chairman. The
rival city committee headed by Magis-
strife VIM. Eisenbrown, has also certi-
fed a full list of delegates.
