REGARDING PEAR BLIGHT.
Eradicate the Germs by Cutting and
Burning All Infected Twigs
and Branches.

The New Jersey state horticultural
report gives hints IN regard to pear
blight, which those who are intending
to plant out pear orchards, or who
have them, will do well to bear in
mind. The first caution is to manure
and cultivate the tree so that It will not
grow too rapidly. Trees that are highly
fertilized with heterogeneous manures are
especially liable to blight. This would
bar out heavy manuring with horse,
sheep or hen manure, and the blowing
under OF clover. COW peas, rape or al
most any green crop. Manure only
sufficiently TO secure a good crop and
no more.
Exterminate the blight germs BY cut
ting and burning all infected twigs and
branches as soon as seen. Do the same
by any blight seen on apple, ounce,
crab. mountain ash. service berry and
hawthorn, as 1t is the same disease and
will spread to nearby trees, and some
times a quarter Of a mile at least in IA
vorable winds. Cut them out when seen,
and make thorough inspection and
clean up before spring. Then keep q
sharp outlook when the leaves start
for any place missed or where cutting
was not deep enough. Then cut two or
three inches below any wood that seems
diseased. and keep the knife sterilized
by dipping in diluted solution Of car
holic acid.--Midland Farmer

where they fork In three distinct trees.
Near the ground they present a fiat
trunk about three feet broad and about
IL or IA inches thick.
The hickory and sugar trees are In q
thrifty condition and are gradually
pressing the oak so firmly that at some
future day the oak will surely die be-
tween the grip of its rivals for existence.
The curiosity OF the combination is that
the hickory is bearing the choicest nuts.

Scale Bark on Fruit Trees.

The gradual thickening of bark on
trees Is often objected to as an evidence
OF unthriftiness. But 1T almost always
comes on trees when they get to be of
bearing age. and, except for harboring
the cocoons Of the cooling moth, 1t does
no harm. Scraping this bark off through
the winter removes the protection, and
the cocoon, exposed to snow and rain,
perishes. These cocoons will be usually
found on the side opposite where the
prevailing wind blows. as this is partly
protected against beating rains. Only
The bark that readily comes OF should
30 removed. Scraping the trunk down
20 the green bark will cause some kinds
OF trees to sun scald, and is Injurious.
Make the tree grow vigorously. and the
rough bark will roll of OF itself or with
very little effort-American Cultivator.

 By the Tempe Pumping Company.

A called meeting of the shareholders of the Tempe Pumping company was held yesterday for the purpose of de- ciding certain questions relative to the enlargement of the plant and pump ing system and the disposition of de- linquent and unsoId stock. The meet ing was well attended nearly all of the stock being represented
 The question of delinquent and u'1- sold stock was first taken up and a committee appointed presented a re- port in the form of a resolution to tae effect that delinquent stock could be redeemed by the payment of the back assessments with interest on or before a certain time in the future.
 It was decided to sell unsold stock to qualified parties until the first Of March at par value with the addition of interest on all deferred payments and all assessments made on sCih stock be tween now and the time of selling
 The question of enlarging the plant is one that has been paid a great deal of attent.ca by those interested in the present plant as well as others who have expressed their intention of conl- ing into the company provided the sys- tenn is enlarged.

FAR OFF PERSIA
Its Contribution 10 the Stock of the
 Big CuriO Store.

The ladies of Phoenix have become intensely interested in collection of Persian and Arabian shawls and em- broidery work at Ealke's Big Curio Store. For several hundred years the women of Arabia. have been famous for their skill in weaving. A Persian shawl has for that time been regarded as the highest form of textile art. A considerable part of the cargoes of the great caravans which traversed the Arabian desert consisted of shawls and other silk fabIics, which are men toned frequently in the Arabian Nights.
 The shawls at Balke's are of the finest possible character. They are, in fact, gOssamer in their fineness, and all of them are hand woven. The de- signs are peculiar to the Orient, or what was then the Orient, when the fame of these old weavers began to spread throughout the civilized world, This work can be adequately described only in long article, such as may be found in journals devoted to art in weaving. The shawls come in pale blue, black pink, salmon, white and cream. Those who have seen these shawls, quite different from any ever seen in this city before, have become estatic over them.
 The Persian embroidery is in the form of shirt waist mate rials, which are the most beautiful imaginable. The come in a variety of fabrics, from, fine mer- fcerized cotton to rhe finest white and pongee silks. They were bought in Eu- rope by Mir, Bake on the occasion of his tour of the continent last summer. Their beauty is edualled only by the surprisingly low figure at which they are sold, ranging in price from $35O to s1O. The material of which these shirt waists are made is cheaper than it could be bought for in the average market, to say nothing of the fine hand embroidery, which gives to them their chief beauty. Speaking of shirt waists. it may be mentioned that there are at BallSa's several of the Mexican drawn work shirt waists inn ported by MT. Bake from Guadalajara. This work has been done by the sisters of a convent there, the entire output
 of which MT. Bake has been taking for several years. The Guadalajara drawn work is famed throughout the whole republic for it's dneness,

his article has not had n pleasant
