30 Hrmcay For Pear Blight

With all the remedies suggested for
blight on pear trees, the difficulty still
exists, and many pear orchards are
destroyed every year. At one time it
was believed that by keeping the
orchard ground in grass the pear tree
would escape, but, while the rapid
growth of the trees seems favorable
to attack cf blight and, although the
grass may retard attack, yet the trees
sooner OF later succumb to the disease
should it find its way into the orchard.
The spraying of trees, or treating the
trees at the roots, will confer benefit,
but there is no sure remedy for @ight.

Buckwheat Profitable.

Buckwheat is profitable crop and

the crop harvested before frost. It is

Advantage in Diversity,

The farmer who diversifies his
crops will not always be met by over
production in the markets, as the sea-
sonable conditions are not favorable
to all crops at the same time; conse-
quently, il the market is we'll supplied
with one article in abundance, there
may be q scarcity of something else.
Diversity of crops is also better for
the soil and assists in maintaining
fertility.

The. Specially Farmer

Specially farming pays, but it causes
a total loss if the conditions are unfa-
vorable. When a farmer gives his
attention to a. single crop he will de.
vote the whole of his time to it, and
.eceive larger yields. 1t is the spec
ialty farmer who secures the e,,traor-
binary large crop Of corn or wheat,
and if he is a dairyman he keeps only
the best butter-producing COWS. 1t is
the large yields that give the profit.
A hundred bushels of corn per acre
will cost but little more than half that
quantity. On the other side, the spe-
cialty farmer who relies upon single
crop may lose all if he is met with a
prolonged drought, as he will have no
other crop on which to rely. For that
reason the majority of farmers are dis
posed to grow variety, so as to have
both early and late crops.

by pumpkin, and, though the fruit Of

inc, yet the seeds of such, is used next

Get the soil of the garden in the fin

important than fertility, as properly

moisture, as we'll as the absorption of

which are prime factors in gardening.
Heat and moisture are essential to all

Do not spread lime directly on your

unless modified by atmospheric in1u-

used with it as compost, and it should
not be spread until the whole heap
has been reduced to fine condition.

Rlack Rot pestrnctixe.

Black rot has been very destructive
on cabbage and cauliflower for several
seasons, and means Of relief, even
Slight, will be welcomed by growers.
Recent investigation by the New York
Station, at Geneva. have proven that
the germs Of disease may be carried
over winter on the dry seed, a fact
previously doubted by scientists, and
that these germs may produce the dis
ease when inoculated into the healthy
plants. 1t is, therefore, wise pre-
caution to disinfect the cabbage seed,
as removing one possible source Of
infection. This can be done very cheap
", easily and safely, by soaking the
seed for fifteen minutes in corrosive

Enough sage can be picked the first
year TO pay for all the labor of sowing
the seed and picking the sage. Early
in the spring the plants should be re.
moved, set in rows three feet apart
each way and half that distance the
other. If the plants tire planted in

can be picked three times each year

Dest Mcthou with Gooseberries.

1t has been demonstrated that one
of the best modes of growing goose
berries is to keep the plants open in
the centre. When they start into
growth in the spring cut out the buds,
in order to prevent them from becom-
ing too dense, so as to admit free
circulation of air; then mulch heavily
around the bushes. This treatment is
an excellent one for preventing mil
dew.

Delaware Democrats Endorse Him For.
President Over Ills Protest
DELEGATES INSTRUCTED FOR HIM.
The Action Taken After One Of the
stormiest Conventions Ever Held
In the state-No Attention Paid to-
Judge Gray's Letter Asking That
No Instructions Be Given.

Dover, Del, Special.-Contrary to the
expressed wish of Judge. George Gray,
the Delaware Democratic State con.
rention by unanimous vote instructed
its delegates to the st. Louis national
convention to present the name Of
Judge Gray to tho convention as the
choice of the Delaware Democracy for
President and to work for his nomina
ton. This action was taken after one
Ct the most stormy conventions ever
held in the State. The leader of the
opposition to the Gray resolution was
former United States Senator Richard
R. Kenney who was opposed to the
word instruct" He offered resolu--
ton that the delegates be requested"
to place Judge Gray's name before the
national convention.
The fight between the Gray and the
anti-Gray faction became so bitter
that the former paid no attention to
Judge Gray's letter in which he asked
that the delegates be not instructed.
They fought to defeat Kenney, and
would not listen to anything that his
supporters offered. Judge Gray's let
ter was written to David T. Marvel, OF
Wilmington. In it Judge Gray express
ed his great anxiety for harmony in
the Democratic party for harmony IN
the Democratic party this year and held
that the national convention should be
left free to select as candidate for Pres
Ident the strongest and most available
man. He, therefore, requested that the
delegates selected to represent Della
ware Democrats at st. Louis be not
bound by instructions, but be left free
to act as the best interest of the Dem
ocratic party seemed to require.
Judge Gray knew nothing of the ac-
ton of the convention until informed
by reporters tonight. In reply to a
question as to whether the action OF
the convention would change his attl-
tude he added: 81 have not changed
my attitude at all. am not a candidate
