Eruit Notes.

Tennessee-The tomato crop Is very
large, and the shipments from some
points have been the largest on record.
Indications point to good crops of ap-
pies and grapes.
Kentucky-The gardens are getting
dry and need rain. Apples are drop
ping badly in some localities. due to
the hot weather. Blackberries are an
immense crop.
Michigan-Prospects are good for
the apple crop.
wisconsin-The gardens are in ex.
cellent condition. Raspberries are
yielding we'll. Plums and apples are
abundant, though much dropping is re-
ported.
Missouri-Some reports are received
of apples dropping, but such reports
are not general. Blackberries are
ripening, but the hot weather is drying
them up on the bushes.
Indiana-Heat and drouth are hay-
ing a bad effect on the blackberries.
There are still prospects for a fair
apple crop.
Iowa-Apples are doing well, though
the wind storms in the northern part
of the state have shaken down many.
Illinois-The crop of blackberries is
unusually large, though lack of rain
has shortened the crop in some local.
ties. Apples will be a short crop, TAX
ing the state as whole. The plum
crop is fairly good.

Condition of FOREIGN Crops.

According to reports received by the
Department of Agriculture relative to
the condition of European crops July
LIST, in Russia the cereal crop prospects
have considerably improved even in
regions where conditions at the be.
ginning of spring were unfavorable. In
Germany there has been great i'm.
provement in all the winter cereals,
particularly rye. In Austria only a
good medium harvest of spring sown
crops is to be expected. Hungary's
output will fall considerably below
that of 1902, the deficiency in the case
of wheat being 15h per cent. Most
Of the Bulgarian crops are In good con.
di.ion. Storms and foods have serious
ly damaged crops and vineyards In
Italy. In France the winter wheat
area is estimated to be 6S1,724 acres
less than in 1902. Wheat and other
crops made marked improvement dur
Ing June and now look well. Reports
from Denmark are generally favorable.
Great Britain's wheat crop is late and
will hardly equal the average yield.
The total wheat crop which India har-
vested this spring has been estimated
at 290, 261, 104 bushels against 226,37O,.

Hoo Pasture,

It is not safe or even desirable to
rely upon single crop to furnish pas
ture for our hogs throughout the en-
tire season. 1t is better to arrange for
a succession of pastures from the be-
ginning Of the season until the hogs
are ready for market, making the feed
richer and more concentrated toward
the close of the season, and as we ap-
proach the finishing of fattening pc.
Rod. For this purpose the following
crops are recommended: Red clover
or alfalfa, rape, cowpeas, soy beans.
On lands adapted to alfalfa it will
undoubtedly prove to be better for
hogs than red clover, inasmuch as it
will produce larger quantity Of feed
of a somewhat higher value. Inas.
much as we have not yet learned to
grow alfalfa successfully on the ma
jority of our upland clay soils, we
shall be forced to rely chiefly upon
clover. 1t starts earlier in the spring
than any hog pasture we have except
ing alfalfa, and would therefore be
used first, and should be used as long
as it Is succulent and palatable. Usu-
ally not later than the middle of June
the crop will have become so mature
that the hogs will relish change for
the time being, and the surplus clover
should be cut and removed, so as to
allow the second or fall crop to start
promptly.-Report Missouri State
Board of Agriculture.

Bitter Rot Of Apples.

There is a disease Of apples that an.
nually renders unstable large quaint
ties of this fruit. The germs of this
disease pass the winter on decayed
fruit or on the limbs Of the tree. When
weather conditions are right the
spread of the bitter rot (or ripe rot,
as 1t is called in some places is very
rapid. Fortunately its attacks are not
common, else apple growing would be
feat far more difficult than at pres
ent. The disease usually manifests It.
self during July and August, though in
some years 1t has been noticed az
early as June. 1t is so distinct in its
characteristics that 1t is easily recog-
nized when once it has been met with
and noticed. Each decaying spot
spreads uniformly from a single center
of infection and small black pustules
appear on the surface of the decayed
spots. Under the decayed surface the
fruit is of a spongy character, brown
ish in color, very bitter to the taste,
and forms a cone-shaped area with
the apex towards the core of the apple
F. w. Faurot says that II the pustules
on the decayed surface be examined
closely it will be seen that pink col
ored stringy masses are exuding from
them. This emulation is composed Of
countless numbers Of minute spores
cemented together, and which are dis
tributed by various agents throughout
the tree, and from tree to tree. Spray
ing with Bordeaux mixture is one of
the means of keeping the disease in
check and of saving the apple crop.
Perfect sanitary conditions in the or
chard will do much to prevent the
spread Of this pest.

Sap Sprouts.

A year ago, Professor Z. S. Goff, In
an address before the Wisconsin Hor-
ticultural Society, said:
| wish to relate an incident that cc-
CURED when I was boy. l did not
understand it then as do now, though
remember the fact. My father had
Golden Russet tree in his orchard.
II was an old tree and bore very pro-
fusely, but the apples were very
small. BY an accident the limbs on
that tree were broken down on one
side, so that we had left only three
or four branches that did not extend
vertically, but extended more or less
at an angle on the other side, leav.
ing the side on which the limbs broke
without any branches. This tree start.
ed up some very vigorous sap sprouts,
we would call them, on the side where
the breaking occurred, and these grew
Tour or five feet the first season, and
they were nearly an inch through at
the base. They were very vigorous
and strong shoots. Next spring l ex-
pected these new shoots were going
to bear fruit, and when I found they
did not blossom, was disappointed.
Next year they did not bear fruit;
they kept right on growing, and won
dered when they were going to bear.
But the third year these new sprouts
bore such russets as / never saw be-
fore-they were double the size Of
those that grew on the old limbs. We
have been taught that we should cut
on sap sprouts, and yet expect the
sap sprouts are natures efforts to
renew the bearing wood of the tree,
and IL we allow, the sap sprouts to
grow in some cases and remove some
OF the old feeble limbs, we could have
new apple trees, so far as the ability
to produce new fruit is concerned. I
am aware that this Is rather q new
doctrine, but I believe there is some
common sense behind 1t. I do not
claim, as l said. to have settled this
problem, and there Is another prob.
lem suggested by this twig that con.
fess that l need help on. What shall
we do with a twig that grows like
that and does not make a fruit spur?
Is there any way that we can prune
that to make 1t bear fruit spurs? This
is one Of the things am studying on.
You will notice here that the buds
have started, but the growth seems to
have continued, they have all grown
long and slender and weakly, but
there is no sign of fruit bud. 1t is a
seeding, but we have trees in our
orchard of named varieties hat grow
like this.

U. S. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh Of the Stomach Is Generally
Called Dyspepsia - Something
to Produce Artificial Diges-
tloE is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin, Pancreatin and a Host
Of Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the
Seat OF the Difficulty, Which
Is Really Catarrh.

TX. U. S. Senator NJ. c. Butler from
South Carolina, was Senator from
- that state for two terms. In re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine CO.,
from Washington, ID. C., says:
al can recommend Peruna for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. have
been using your medicine for short
period and feel very much relieved.
IL Is indeed a wonderful medicine be-
sides a good tonic. IN. C. Butler
The only rational way to cure dyspepsia
is to remove the catarrh. Peruna cures
catarrh. Peruna does not produce artificial
digestion. 1t cures catarrh and leaves the
stomach to perform digestion in natural
way. This is vastly better and safer than
resorting to artificial methods.
Peruna has cured more cases OF dys-
pepsia than all other remedies combined,
simply because il cures catarrh wherever
located. II catarrh is located in the head.
Peruna cures il. II catarrh has fastened
itself in the throat or bronchial tubes,
Peruna cures it. When catarrh becomes
settled in the stomach. Peruna cures il, as
we'll in this location as in any other.
Peruna is not simply a remedy for dvs-
pepsia. Peruna is catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is gem
orally dependent upon catarrh.

Of Defiance Cold Water Starch be
