Body BHqht 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 appearance OF the
disease is in the spring when dark sunk
en- spots are seen scattered over the
trunk. These spots are round or oval in
outline and gradually increase in size
until the latter part of the growing sea
son. A distinct boundary line is then
formed by the shrinking of the dead tbs
sue. At this time the dead bark can
easily be removed in one place. The in
ner bark remains sound and suffers but
little, if any, the first year. Ii this dead
bark is not removed it becomes very dry
and hard and in two or three years forms
such heavy layer of dead bark that the
tree becomes barkbound. If this condi-
ton is not removed the tree stops grow
ing 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 or fungicides 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 seems to be
sure and efficient remedy.-Nat. Fruit

Questions.

Dues. How many buds should be left
on a grape vine when pruning?
Ans. On Concord, Niagara, Ives,
Moore's Early, Champion and all Of the
long joint growers, about 40 buds is con
sidered about right. Campbell Early,
McPike and other hybrids, such as
Rogers, ETC., should have 80 to 60 accord
ing to the habit of the variety. Della
ware, Lady Martha and few Of that
type should have 70. Be careful to Sc
lect medium to small sized wood and do
not leve the largest canes, they are not
best for fruit.
Dues. What is the name of the new
late peach which almost perfectly
answers the description of Elberta, ex-
cept in season, and what time does il
ripen?
Ans. Matthews Beauty; season with
Beers Smock; equal to Elberta in every
respect except vigor Of tree; harder and
of better quality.
Dues. My raspberry canes have brown
spots on them and at the base of the
cane are quite scabby and don't seem tc
be dry. What is the troubleY
Ans. Your berries have antbramose
as does nearly every raspberry patch in
the country You should spray severa

Timely Suggestions.

See To it that your grapes are pruned
before the sap starts.
Either remove your old apple orchards
or prepare them for respectable crop.
All varieties of peach are well loaded
with buds. They should be well prpned
as this aids in thinning, let's in the sun
light and gives size and color to the fruit.
If your peaches did not plump up to
their proper size and lacked in color and
quality last season, feed them on good
ration of ashes. 1t is potash they need.
See il you cannot improve your home
surroundings; don't be satisfied with
looking as good as your neighbor; have

Duchess apples should be pruned
more severely than most other sorts, or
they are destined to over bear and go
down at an early age. Prune them well,
thin them well, sell them well, and they
are a financial JOY for many years.
