Body Blight of Pear Trees.


This disease works on the trunk
and larger limbs of pear trees. 1t is
easily recognized on the trunks of
trees that are not old enough to be
covered with rough bark. The first ap-
PC arance of the disease is in the spring
when dark sunken spots are seen scat
tered over the trunk These spots are
round or oval in outline and gradu-
ally increase in size until the latter
part Of the growing season. A dis
tinct boundary line is then formed by
the shrinking of the dead tissue. At
this time the dead bark can be easily
removed in one place. The inner bark
remains sound and suffers but little,
II any. the first year. If this dead
bark is not removed 1t becomes very
dry and hard and in two or three
years forms such a heavy layer of
dead bark that the tree becomes bark
bound. If this condition is not remov-
ed the tree stops growing and dies.
The dead bark should be removed
as soon as found. The trees should
be gone over in the spring about the
time growth starts and all diseased
bark removed. Tree washes and fun
gicides seem to have no value either
in preventing the disease or checking
It's spread. Removing the diseased bark
and thoroughly cleaning the trunk and
larger limbs seem to be a sure and
efficient remedy"

HE WAS A HUSTLER,

The Tarpon Herald had the following
about ]. K. Copeland, the young man
now in Chatham county Jail, charged
with taking a ticket from the Atlantic
Coast Line: 1.-THE Herald was the re-
cipient of a call Tuesday morning by
a Mr.. j. K. Copeland of New York
city, a well-dressed and good looking
young man, who stated that he was
not we'll fixed as to finance, and stated
that he wished to solicit some business
on commission for the Herald We
gave him some cards and a few names,
and before an hour had elapsed, job
printing, subscriptions, ETC., were pour
ing in, and the proprietor complimented
himself on having secured such an en-
ploye. Dinner was secured for him,
and after dinner. the proprietor was
making a list of names for him, when
Marshal Jones made his appearance,
and stated that the young man was
wanted, and was quietly marched to
the cooler" much to the amazement
and disappointment of the Herald peo-
pie, as his services had proven very
valuable. Word was te1ephoned to
Tampa that the man had been secured,
and deputy sheriff arrived last night,
and took charge of him. 1t seems that
the young fellow that appeared and re-
sembled Sunday-school teacher, was
a professional crook, and was wanted
for several offenses, and had been elud-
ing detectives for a number of months
in other states"

Best Fertilizers for tomatoes.

Fertilizer tests of interest are re-
ported in bulletin 90 of the Indiana
station. The experiments were carried
out during the seasons of 1899 and 1900
on moderately heavy clay loan that
would naturally yield about twenty
four bushels of wheat or fifty bushels
of corn per acre. The fertilizer formu-
la followed in the main was that rec
commended by Voorhees,, viz, nitrogen
Al per cent, phosphoric acid 10 per
cent, and potash IL per cent, applied
at the rate of 500 pounds per acre, and
was composed of muriate of potash,
nitrate Of soda, azotin and acid phos-
phate. This mixture cost about $32 per
ton. On some plats one or more of the
fertilizers was omitted and the
amounts applied on the different plats
also varied. Barnyard manure applied
on clover sod at the rate of twelve to
fifteen two-horse loads per acre form
ed one plat in 1900.
The best results were obtained by
using a complete fertilizer in liberal
amounts The use of nitrogen alone,
either in the form of nitrate or organ
ic nitrogen was Improbable. The yield
on the barnyard-manure plat was the
largest obtained with any of the fer
tilizers. This fertilizer had a tendency
TO delay and prolong the ripening
period, but the total yield was very
nearly double that obtained from any
other plat.
On the whole, the use of the COM
mercial fertilizers considerably in
creased the yields and FASTENED the
maturity of the crop. The results also
indicate that on lands of the type
used where clover is grown in the ro-
tation, fertilizer made up of 8 per
cent. nitrogen, Z per cent. available
phosphoric acid and IL per cent. pot
ash would more nearly meet the re-
quirements of the tomato crop than
the Voorhees, formula, and would be
about So per ton cheaper. Earlier ex-
periments at the station indicate that
sulphate of potash gives a better quail
ity of early tomatoes than the muriate.

Value of Lioutd Manurs

This subject, so much neglected in
this country, is regarded as of the
greatest Importance everywhere else.
A correspondent of an exchange says
about it:
A correspondent deeply interested in
the question of the salvage of manure
is anxious for a few facts which NAV
be of benefit to the tenants on the es-
tate in which he is Interested He
properly remarks that liquid manure
is so generally wasted, and it's value
so little appreciated that much of
what an incoming tenant is required
to pay for, under the head of feeding
stuffs consumed, is not only lost to the
soil, but is not allowed for by valuers.
II is amazing that this question is so
little discussed by practical farmers
Let MS take the urine of the cow as
an example, remembering that it's val
lie is increased or diminished in pro-
portion as the foods consumed are
rich. An average sample, however.
contains .0S per cent. of nitrogen, OF
per cent of phosphoric acid and O.6
per cent. of potash. In a sample of
the fresh manure of the COW, which
includes the straw, the proportion of
the nitrogen present is only "a of
phosphoric acid 016, and of potash
GA, so that, weight for weight, the
liquid manure of the COW is worth as
plant food double as much as the dung
which she produces, and to which the
straw is added. In q heightened ex-
pertinent which has been referred to
in these columns the mixed manure of
the cow, liquid and solid, contained
Gas per cent. of nitrogen, 0.3 per cent.
of phosphoric acid and 0.34 per cent.
of potash, yet in any case were either
liquid or solid to be kept for length
ened time the loss would be considera-
bic, and consequently the value much
diminished. Thus we see that the urine
of the COW is very much greater in
value, weight for weight, than the
mixed solid dung and urine, without
straw.
The urine of the horse and of the
sheep is much richer in nitrogen and
about equal in potash; in the case of
the horse and the pig it is much rich
er in phosrhoric acid, but poorer in
nitrogen and potash. so that where the
liquid is the mixed urine of the diff
ferent classes of stock it is immensely
superior in value to the liquid of the
COW, as well as to the solid manure OF
any class of stock, separate or mixed
whether as regards nitrogen or phos-
phoric acid, which are by far the most
valuable constituents of all manurial
matter.

Soil for Pot Plants.

Although it is we'll known that diff
ferent varieties of plants need differ
ent treatment, too many amateurs give
all pot-plants the same soil of what
ever soil is handiest. When a child, l
remember reporting all the plants for
winter. After the drainage, put moth
ing in the jars but garden loan, sifted
through flour sieve to make it nice.
Our plants existed that winter and that
was about all. Few grown people
would make such mistake, but many
do not realize that pot-plants require
a concentrated soil on account of their
roots not being able to go far in search
of needed elements. and the finest soil
is not usually the richest. A good mix
ture. which the novice will be safe In
using for nearly all plants, is composed
of equal parts good loan or garden
soil, leaf-mold or woods-earth to light
en- the whole, sand to make porous and
barnyard scrapings or well-rotted ma
nure to enrich il. Always put about
an inch of drainage, charcoal or gravel,
in every jar or can; cover with moss,
dead grass. or fbers from the woods
earth and some of the fertilizer, to pre-
vent the soil washing down and spoil
Ing the drainage and supply food as
the plant grows. Ferns and Gala lilies
do best when one part muck is add
ed to two parts of the above mixture.
Cacti do well in nearly pure sand.
while roses. carnations and geraniums
need heavier soil, more loan and fer
tlizer in proportion to the leaf-mold"

Fertility of Cow Peas.

"I believe that 81 worth of cowpea
seeds, where they are properly plant
ed and cared for, will add more fer
tility to the soil than a ton of COM
mercial fertilizer, costing from 500 TO
$24. Fertilizers contain about 8 per
cent nitrogen, the most expensive of
the ingredients which are added to the
soil. This will amount to 100 pounds
to the ton. Now, crop of cowpeas
will add this much nitrogen, at far
less cost, and besides this we have the
humus from the vines and leaves,
which will add a great deal of vege-
table matter to the soil. 1t has been
said that soil rich in humus, or de-
cayed vegetable matter will absorb
three times it's weight of water. If this
be true we should see that our soils
have plenty of humus, and no crop
can add this to the soil better than
cOwDeas"

Spinach is not only a food, but a
medicine as well. Spinach as a liver
regulator has few equals, and whether
we like it or not, we should force our
selves to eat it occasionally. To make
not only spinach but satisfy, common
ly known as oyster plant, take the
place of meat is quite help in these
days of dear meats. We eat entirely
too much meat, and we housekeepers
are to blame for much of this. A dish
of meat and gravy takes the place of
more elaborate dishes, and because of
its easy preparation, we accustom our
families to expect it, fostering the taste
for it to the exclusion of other foods;
thus laying the foundation for future
dyspepsia and malnutrition. To make a
dish of satisfy that takes the place
of meat cook the leaves until ten
der, drain and season with salt, pep
per and butter; some relish it best to
add a pinch of cayenne, and a little
lemon juice. Chop it finely with the
whites of four or five eggs, garnish the
top with the yolks pressed smoothly
with the back of a spoon. Scalloped
satisfy: Wash and scrape the roots
slicing them thin. Boil in salt water
until tender, which should be in TWEEN
ty minutes. Line the bottom of the
baking pan with rolled crackers, then
add a layer of the satisfy, and so on
to the top, which must be of the rolled
crackers. Pepper, add a few small
Jumps of butter, pour pint Of milk
over the whole, put in the oven 10
bake. 1t is done when the milk bub-
bles through the crackers"

Apples in Grass,

For thirty years or more we have
been insisting that after one has de-
veloped an apple orchard to a bearing
size the best thing that can be done
with it is to keep it in grass. Not for
the grass or for any pasturage, but
cor the sake of the trees. Cut the grass
several times during the summer and
leave it on the ground as a mulch to
the trees. We have never said that
this is any cheaper than cultivation,
but ii is far better for the trees. We
are glad. therefore, to note that at the
Ohio State Institute ii was shown by
the experience of one leading grower
that orchards properly kept in sod are
far better than the average cultivated
orchard. But as soon as one talks
about orchards in sod some one refers
at once to some neglected orchard they
have known, where the trees stood in
sod and all the grass was either cut
for hay or pastured by stock, and
brings up that as an example of orch
ards in grass. The orchard in Ohio
which one speaker said was the best
in the state was planted in sod and
never worked at all. We once planted
an apple orchard on a steep, rocky hill
where the fast rocks were so plenty
that blowing could not be done. The
TIMBER had been cut off and the soil
was fertile and soon sooded over with
grass. That orchard came into bear
ing early and produced the finest fruit
in the neighborhood. 1t is generally
conceded that the short-lived peach
tree should be cultivated clean during
It's entire life, and yet the longest lived
and most productive peach tree we
ever knew stood In a blue grass sod
on a lawn, and the fruit was remark
able for beauty and freedom from cur
culio. II stood in one corner of a
small orchard that was regularly Gull

WILL HAVE REMNANT SALE.

The Kings Daughters of Brunswick,
as a means of raising money with
which to carry on their work, have de-
cided to have a remnant sale the
middle of January, and they have sent
out circular letters, asking every one
to help them by giving a few of the
many remnants to be found in every
business house. The Kings Daughters
need no commentator. They work
among the poor, the sick and the needy.
And help all who are in distress, wheth-
er Jew or Gentle, and many sad cases
of sickness and restitution have been
and are daily being relieved by them
And many poor sufferers have been
helped to gain their health and strength
by the nourishing food given by this
band of women. The order is non-sec-
tartan, and does all it can to help suf-
fering humanity. 1t is hoped mer-
chants will do all they can to help make
the sale big success financially to the
Kings Daughters.

ever fond you may have been of it in
times past? How would you like, for
example, to have potatoes as a sole
! diet three times a day seven days in
| the week. for six months in the year ?
How would you like to be limited to
an exclusive diet of corn bread, or
wheat bread. or apple dumplings, or
! quail on toast. or pork and beans, OF
ham and eggs for this long period?
The laws of digestion in the steer
are very much the same as in the
man. The steer, therefore, requires d
variety Of diet. not as great as that to
which we are accustomed to, but still
a variety. The variety possible for
the steer is not great. nor is 1t re-
quired to the same extent as in man,
but the feed should he given in as
great variety as possible. Have you
never seen steers eat dry straw, year
old perhaps, when on the very best of
pasture-straw that they would have
refused TO eat in the winter? Why?
Because they like variety.
If you have different kinds of hay
or forage, let them have variety. Steers
that are on a full feed of corn should
occasionally be given oats, not a full
feed at a time, but some. While corn
and clover hay make as we'll balanced
ration for steer on feed as can be
wen devised. nevertheless a variety
even here is desirable, and particular
ly so in the latter stages of feeding. In
fact, there is no feed on the farm that
might not be given with profit and APP
parently regardless of cost If given in
small quantities. A bushel of corn and
a bushel of oats fed together have
greater actual feeding value than two
bushels of either of them fed sepa-
rately.
Potatoes, for example, have less than
one-fOurth as much feeding value per
hundred pounds as corn when either is
fed exclusively to hogs. In other
words, as an exclusive hog feed pota-
toes at l2G cents per bushel are no
cheaper than corn at 40 cents, but a
small feed of potatoes given to brood
SOW when fed in connection with other
feed may be worth fully as much
bushel for bushel as corn at 40 cents or
oats at 80 cents.
The greater variety Of feed you can
give live stock the better they will do
Bear in mind that the value of food
is not altogether dependent on its con-
stituents, as shown by chemical anal
ysis. This is a very important point.
The value of food in winter depends
largely on its succulence. 1t depends
all the year around on it's palatability;
that is, depends on how the animal
likes it, and values are always depend
ent on the variety that is introduced in
the ration.

COST OF ATLANTA,s LIGHTS.

Mayor Howell is of the opinion that
Atlanta is paying entirely too much
for her electric light. and is not mine
ing words in making this declaration.
He said that he did not know what
electric lights should cost, but that he
did know Atlanta was paying $500
for her lights, while other cities were
getting theirs for $50. He has called
the attention of the Electric Light
Committee of the Council to this mat
ter, and wants an investigation made
at once. The contracts that the city
has with the company now furnishing
the lights expire April l, and he says
that something must be done to reduce
the costs of the lights before another
contract is made.
