BIioht of Fruit Trees.

1t is quite generally agreed that rap
attacked by blight than slower grow
ing ones, said Frederic Cranefield in
an address. In general terms, condi-
tions conducive to rapid growth in the
apple and pear are conducive to
blight. Heavy manuring and culti-
yation both induce rapid growth and
the new rapidly growing tissues are
the first attacked. Old bearing trees
growing in sod land rarely suffer
from twig blight. There is but little
new growth on such trees. A circu-
lar letter was sent to many fruit men
in Wisconsin last year from the sta
ton, requesting answers to numerous
questions, among them this one: "Is
the blight more destructive to the
trees that are cultivated or to those
on sod land?" Ninety-eight per cent
of those who answered, stated that the
trees on cultivated land suffered most.
When you ask for reports on the ex-
tent of blight as affecting different
varieties, most conflicting answers are
sure to be received. According to my
present limited knowledge, l doubt II
any variety of apple at least is more
subject to blight than any other. Neith-
er have l been able to learn that any
variety is immune. The same is proba-
bly, true of pears. Any conditions that
induce rapid growth, afford condi-
tions favorable to the blight bacteria.
Remedies: This end of the subject
is of the most interest to fruit growers
and unfortunately with our present
knowledge of the disease, the one that
can be presented with the least salts
faction. However, it is generally
agreed that spraying is of no value in
checking blight. The organism that
causes the disease works wholly with
in the bark in twig blight at least and
is therefore beyond the reach of
sprays. If we treat our orchards so
as to induce an excessive growth, we
lay the trees open to attack by blight,
while if only normal growth occurs,
they are less likely to be attacked. We
can certainly check the disease in any
case by cutting out the blighted twigs
in summer, if cut back one or two feet
beyond the visible point of injury. The
most valuable work consists in cut
ting out every blighted twig late in
the fall in order to remove any pos
sible cases of "hold-over" blight.

Checking CutWcrms,

In all gardening operations more or
less trouble is experienced from the
attacks of cutworms. Sometimes a
good many plants are cut off in a
single night. This trouble is made
worse by the use of barnyard manure
which is later found to have con-
tanned the eggs that hatched into cut
worms. The use of this manure can
not be avoided very well. At least it
is easier to fight the cutworms than
to disarrange the methods of doing
the garden work. The worms gener-
ally feed near the top of the ground
and near the moisture line. In wet
weather they crawl about from one
plant to the other, but during ordinary
weather their attacks are usually de-
livered under the surface of the SOIL
One way of protecting the plants
against the attacks of these worms is
to wrap paper loosely about them at
setting time, having the paper reach
at least an inch below the ground
and two inches above. The worms do
I1OC oCCIh " hAO" uOH W SCI uAuSl
or over such an obstruction. In a dry
time the wrapper should extend below
the moisture line in the soil, but be-
low that line the worms will not go.
Care should be taken to have it loose
enough about the stem to leave the
plant free to develop naturally. In
some cases gardeners that have many
plants to protect use tin protectors.
Strips of tin about eight inches long
and three inches wide are used. Be-
fore the tin is bent into a circle the
ends for about one inch are folded
back to form two hooks that clasp in
to each other and make the joint that
holds the cylinder together. When
the danger from worms is past these
cylinders are taken off and stored
away to be used in subsequent years

The Diaries and the Doctors.


One man that has the handling OF
a good deal of milk for Chicago tells
the writer that he has an arrangement
with the doctors in several towns
from which he buys milk, by which
the doctors report to him the presence
of any contagious disease on any farm
in the locality, whether that farm is
producing milk or not. In this way it
is possible for him to know about the
conditions under which milk is being
made for his trade. This he finds to
be a very good plan. In the case of
the contagious disease being on the
farm of a man that is selling him
milk, he can take measures to prevent
the sending out of that milk. On the
other hand, if the disease is on the
farm of a man that is not selling him
milk, he can serve a notice on the
men that are selling him milk that
they are not to receive the milk from
such a farm. If this practice were
made general it would greatly i'm
prove the situation as to the spread
of contagious diseases by means of
milk. Cases are constantly coming to
the attention of the public where some
man that is supplying perhaps only
very small amount of milk to the
trade is the means of scattering dis
eases that ravage communities using
the milk Every man should have too
much conscience to sell milk when he
has a deadly disease in his family, but
actual experience demonstrates that
that is just the time he will sell his
product, as a general thing, for the
reason that his needs are greatest at
that time This phase of human ma
ture must be taken into consideration.

Hand Made Shirtwaists.

A very fashionable white crepe
waist has its front, stock and cuffs
embroidered with clusters of small,
pink roses and forget-me-nots in rib
bon embroidery. The punches OF
flowers have their leaves and stems
done in pale, dull shades of green
and golden brown. The punches OF
flowers are connected by and inter
spersed with little bowknots and loops
and ends of ribbon. This ribbon ef-
feet is produced by outlining the sup
posed ribbon with single gold thread
and working small black dots in en-
broidery silk, about an eighth of an
inch apart between the gold lines.
The effect is that Of dainty and
novel ribbon. 1t is no wider, and
probably not as wide. as baby rib
bon.

Brown Tail oMth Hairs,

1t is somewhat surprising to hear
that caterpillar can become a men
ace to health. A press bulletin of the
New Hampshire station says:
One of the most serious effects of
the presence of the Brown-tail Moth
in community is that of the peculiar
skin disease it may produce. Some of
the hairs OF the full-grown caterpillars
are furnished with minute barbs.
When the caterpillars molt these
barbed hairs are shed with the skin,
and as the skins become dry and are
blown about by the wind the hairs
may be quite generally disseminated.
When the hairs alight upon the hu,
man skin they cause an irritation.
which upon rubbing may develop into
Inflammation. In New Hampshire this
phase of the insects presence has al
ready become evident. At Ports
mouth clothes-reel was near tree
infested by the caterpillars. The fam
lily were greatly troubled through the
summer by extraordinary irritations
of the skin for which they were I'M
able to account, but which were doubt
less due to caterpillar hairs blown
from the pear tree to the clothes up
on the reel. In the same city gen.
tleman in removing a caterpillar
which had landed upon his neck scat
tered some of the hairs, which pro-
duced an eruption similar to, but con-
worse than that produced
by poison ivy.

Lunch for Children.

Because things to eat do not always
present an attractive appearance their
nourishing quality is not properly ap-
preciated.
The value of dates for children's
school luncheons is not fully appreci-
ated. They are rather sticky, bother
some things, as they are originally
purchased, and chcildren rarely care
for them. They should be separated
and washed, the stone removed, and
peanut or almond, salted preferably,
substituted. The date is then rolled
in corn starch or powdered sugar, and
straightway becomes one of the ap-
petizing tri1es dear to youth, and at
the same time is healthful and nour-
ishing

"ScaIdina with Cold Water

In visit to a creamery recently the
writer noted that the combined churns
and butter workers were in perfect
condition and that no smell could be
detected. These churns had been in
use for a year. The buttermaker
laughed when the condition of the
churns were mentioned to him and
said that he never had trouble in keep
ing his churns perfectly sweet and
clean, though he knew of factories
where the combined utensils were al

Marie Antoinette Rodices.

The tendency toward the Marie An
toinette bodice for evening wear is
marked. This style is really fascinat-
ing, with its long, pointed waist line,
and very full skirt shirred into the
skirt band. In white or ivory silk,
the mode is ideal, and by next autumn
it will be firmly established. This
would not appear to admit of any
change in the present full skirts, but
would rather tend to increase them if
anything. The great dresesmakers,
at least, seem determined to adhere to
the full modes for some time to come

About Sleeves.

The very wide sleeves that are be-

to take away from the apparent
height of the figure, and if you are
rather inclined to be short yourself
you will do wisely to exercise a judi

dressmaker to indulge in any vagaries
either as regards the shape or trim
ming of your sleeves. You can still
have something which is quite sufi-
ciently fashionable without adding
in an unbecoming way to the width of
your figure.
